"I
reckon,"
said
the
father,
"they
kin
run,
an'
they
kin
track,
an'
they
kin
lick
a
Grizzly,
maybe,
but
the
fac'
is
they
don't
want
to
tackle
a
Gray-wolf.
The
hull
darn
pack
is
scairt--an'
I
wish
we
had
our
money
out
o'
them."
Thus
the
men
grumbled
and
discussed
as
I
drove
away
and
left
them.
There
seemed
only
one
solution
of
the
failure.
The
Hounds
were
swift
and
strong,
but
a
Gray-wolf
seems
to
terrorize
all
Dogs.
They
have
not
the
nerve
to
face
him,
and
so,
each
time
he
gets
away,
and
my
thoughts
flew
back
to
the
fearless
little
Dog
that
had
shared
my
bed
for
the
last
year.
How
I
wished
he
was
out
here,
then
these
lubberly
giants
of
Hounds
would
find
a
leader
whose
nerve
would
not
fail
at
the
moment
of
trial.
At
Baroka,
my
next
stop,
I
got
a
batch
of
mail
including
two
letters
from
the
landlady;
the
first
to
say
that
"that
beast
of
a
Dog
was
acting
up
scandalous
in
my
room,"
and
the
other
still
more
forcible,
demanding
his
immediate
removal.
"Why
not
have
him
expressed
to
Mendoza?"
I
thought.
"It's
only
twenty
hours;
they'll
be
glad
to
have
him.
I
can
take
him
home
with
me
when
I
go
through."
