A column of smoke and a licking tongue of flame leaped from the open window at the same moment, and the cry of fire was reechoed from a hundred voices in the street. But scarcely had M'liss closed the open door against Waters, when the guard from the doorway mounted the stairs in time to see a flaming figure leap from the window. The room was filled with smoke and fire.
'T is not needful to bark." He went down-hill slowly, the little dog trotting beside him and occasionally licking his hand. They went into the shop, the door of which was still propped open. The Piper built a fire, removed his coat and hat, took off his leggings, cleaned his boots, and washed his hands. Then, unmindful of the fact that it was supper-time, he sat down.
As he gazed at Norhala a flicker of lust shot like a licking tongue through his eyes. Yet from him pulsed power; sinister, instinct with evil, concentrate with cruelty but power indomitable. Such was Cherkis, descendant perhaps of that Xerxes the Conqueror who three millenniums gone ruled most of the known world. It was Norhala who broke the silence. "Tcherak! Greeting Cherkis!"
I only know it was a majestic and awful place to be alone; majestic with the weight of wind and the rolling thunder of water; the more awful because I could not see the water itself, save for the rare gray ghost of a tongue licking swiftly up the sand to catch at my feet if I did not spring away in time.
Having said this he filled a large measure with corn, and walked up with it to his charger, who, by his low whinnying neigh, his pricked ears, and his pawing, showed how close the alliance was betwixt him and his rider. Nor did he taste his corn until he had returned his master's caresses, by licking his hands and face.
Three years had passed, and the wolf was living happily in company with a dog, when his master again returned, and the still remembered voice was instantly replied to by the most impatient cries, which were redoubled as soon as the poor fellow was at liberty, when, rushing to his master, he threw his fore-feet on his shoulders, licking his face with every mark of the most lively joy, and menacing his keepers, who offered to remove him, and towards whom, not a moment before, he had been showing every mark of fondness.
He collapsed with an explosive grunt; and the giant hands tossed him aside. It was a frightful wound which the monster had received, but for a few moments she paid no attention to it, being occupied in licking the trampled body of her young one with that amazing tongue of hers.
"Ye git nothin' to eat to-day, Henry. I didn't bring ye up to brawl and to fit with yaller dogs, ye lazy lout," scolded Joe. When the party halted for its noon rest and luncheon, Henry sat morosely at one side of their camping place, now and then licking his chops, while Hindenburg, performing the same service for his wounds, occupied a position on the opposite side of the camp.
Down, Tramp!" and at once the dog sank down and wagged his tail so hard that Sue said afterward she thought it would almost wag off. The dog seemed to like Bunny and Sue, running about them, giving little barks of joy and licking their hands. "I like him," said Sue. "He's 'most as good as our dog. How did you come to name him Tramp?"
"I'll give you the worst licking you ever had. Do you want to fight?" said Mike, flourishing his fist. "No, I don't," said Paul. "Some time when I haven't a bundle, I'll accommodate you." "You're a coward!" sneered Mike, gaining courage as he saw Paul was not disposed for an encounter. "I don't think I am," said Paul, coolly.
