Ernest Thompson Seton

As
he
looked
wistfully
he
saw
the
Coyotes
drawing
nearer,
mindful
chiefly
to
avoid
the
Wolves.
He
watched
their
really
cautious
advance;
it
seemed
like
heedless
rushing
compared
with
his
mother's
approach.
The
Calf
smell
rolled
forth
in
exquisite
and
overpowering
excellence
now,
for
they
were
tearing
the
meat,
when
a
sharp
clank
was
heard
and
a
yelp
from
a
Coyote.
At
the
same
time
the
quiet
night
was
shocked
with
a
roar
and
a
flash
of
fire.
Heavy
shots
spattered
Calf
and
Coyotes,
and
yelping
like
beaten
Dogs
they
scattered,
excepting
one
that
was
killed
and
a
second
struggling
in
the
trap
set
here
by
the
ever-active
wolvers.
The
air
was
charged
with
the
hateful
smells
redoubled
now,
and
horrid
smells
additional.
The
Yellow
Wolf
glided
down
a
hollow
and
led
her
Cub
away
in
flight,
but,
as
they
went,
they
saw
a
man
rush
from
the
bank
near
where
the
mother's
nose
had
warned
her
of
the
human
scent.
They
saw
him
kill
the
caught
Coyote
and
set
the
traps
for
more.
