"They call me Ta-la-pus, the prairie-wolf, And wild and free am I. I cannot swim like Eh-ko-lie, the whale, Nor like the eagle, Chack-chack, can I fly. "I cannot talk as does the great Ty-ee, Nor like the o-tel-agh* shine in the sky. I am but Ta-la-pus, the prairie-wolf, And wild and free am I." With every word, every step, he became more like the wolf he was describing.
When the chack-chack stopped, I could hear men talking. I could hear what they said, for they were talking in the ordinary tone of conversation. There was an open space as it happened, all around the great pipe, where it passed through the floor. I could peep through this into the room below, getting a good sight of what was going on.
I had nothing with which I could smear it over, nor could I reach the head. As for stopping the machine, that I dared not attempt to do, lest I should bring someone up to me, from the works, wherever they were. Standing by the ghost of the owl, hearing the chack-chack of the machine at intervals below me, I became aware of voices in the room downstairs.
