Animal Heroes

Ernest Thompson Seton
179
Runners
went
on
the
back
trail
and
recovered
the
packages.
They
were
lying
on
the
ice
unharmed.
Fragments
of
the
sled
were
strewn
for
a
mile
or
more
up
the
river;
not
far
from
the
packages
were
shreds
of
clothing
that
had
belonged
to
the
Fiddler.
It
was
quite
clear,
the
Dogs
had
murdered
and
eaten
their
driver.
The
Factor
was
terribly
wrought
up
over
the
matter.
It
might
cost
him
his
Dogs.
He
refused
to
believe
the
report
and
set
off
to
sift
the
evidence
for
himself.
Renaud
was
chosen
to
go
with
him,
and
before
they
were
within
three
miles
of
the
fatal
place
Renaud
pointed
to
a
very
large
track
crossing
from
the
east
to
the
west
bank
of
the
river,
just
after
the
Dog
sled.
He
ran
it
backward
for
a
mile
or
more
on
the
eastern
bank,
noted
how
it
had
walked
when
the
Dogs
walked
and
run
when
they
ran,
before
he
turned
to
the
Factor
and
said:
"A
beeg
Voolf--he
come
after
ze
cariole
all
ze
time."
Now
they
followed
the
track
where
it
had
crossed
to
the
west
shore.
Two
miles
above
Kildonan
woods
the
Wolf
had
stopped
his
gallop
to
walk
over
to
the
sled
trail,
had
followed
it
a
few
yards,
then
had
returned
to
the
woods.
"Paul
he
drop
somesin'
here,
ze
packet
maybe;
ze
Voolf
he
come
for
smell.
He
follow
so--now
he
know
zat
eez
ze
drunken
Paul
vot
slash
heem
on
ze
head."
