But sharper than her nails were the teeth of the great wolf-dog that sprang almost simultaneously from his lair, and, seizing the soldier by the limbs, caused him to bellow out at the top of his voice "Without there! Sergeant Gomez! Ho! treason! to the rescue! to the rescue!" "Ay! dog of a Gachupino!" screamed the old woman, "dog of Spanish blood! you may call your cowardly myrmidons!
Besides, Ba'tiste already was in the buggy, striving to cover his feelings by a stream of badinage directed toward Golemar, the wolf-dog, and waiting for Houston to take his place beside him. A moment more and they were driving away, Ba'tiste humped over the reins as usual, Houston striving to put from him the agony of the new accusation.
For a space during which Durant's heart beat like a hammer Taao turned, as if on a pivot, following Miki's movement, and the crest on his spine stood up like bristles. Then Miki stopped, and in that moment Durant saw the end of all his hopes. Without a sound the wolf-dog was at his opponent. A bellow rose from Grouse Piet's lips.
At the doorway, Ba'tiste, his big hands fumbling, caught the paws of Golemar, his wolf-dog, and raised the great, shaggy creature against his breast. "No," he said in kindly, indulgent fashion.

Guide lines were affixed.
Three days after he had laid his head on the feet of Kate Cumberland, the wolf-dog was hobbling about on three legs and tugging now and again at the restraining chain; and the day after that the bandages were taken off and Whistling Dan decided that Bart might run loose.

Then he went his way, still growling deeply, and at every growl the curious wolf-dog at his heels bristled and bared its fangs. "Tired?" Jacob Welse put both hands on Frona's shoulders, and his eyes spoke the love his stiff tongue could not compass.
He rose and stepped in his noiseless way behind her, but he reappeared instantly on the other side, and reached out his hand to where her fingers trailed limp from the arm of the chair. There he let them lie, white and cool, against the darkness of his palm. It was as if he sought in the hand for the secret of her power over the wolf-dog.
Chill horror had taken the place of his shame, and the wolf-dog still whined at his feet with lips grinned back from the long white teeth. "Who in the name of God are you?" he gasped, and even as he spoke the truth came to him the whistling the panther-like speed of hand "Whistling Dan Barry." The other frowned. "If you didn't know my name why were you trailin' me?"
