It occurred to Madden that an enormous scaly thing, in vivid spangling colors, embossed with sword-like spines, with a long convoluted tail, huge red-fanged mouth, would be in keeping with the scene before him, would indeed produce a gorgeously decorative effect, such as he had seen in Chinese pictures. His thoughts took all sorts of queer turns.

It was strikingly colored, that creature, and big nearly three feet long, to be exact; but it looked much bigger in the ghostly twilight and yet till it was actually upon him he, even he, had failed to see it. Long, low, bear-like, and burly, with claws caked with earth, gashed and bleeding on flank and shoulder it was, red-fanged and wild-eyed.
