haunted him for long after in his dreams。 He was put into a baggage´car by 

the master�察�chained in a corner in the midst of heaped trunks and valises。 

Here a squat and brawny god held sway�察�with much noise�察�hurling trunks 

and boxes about�察�dragging them in through the door and tossing them into 

the piles�察�or flinging them out of the door�察�smashing and crashing�察�to other 

gods who awaited them。 

     And here�察�in this inferno of luggage�察�was White Fang deserted by the

master。 Or at least White Fang thought he was deserted�察�until he smelled 

out the master's   canvas clothes´bags alongside of him�察 �and proceeded   to 

mount guard over them。 

     ;'Bout time you come�察─�growled the god of the car�察�an hour later�察�when 

Weedon Scott appeared at the door。 ;That dog of yourn won't let me lay a 

finger on your stuff。; 

     White Fang emerged from the car。 He was astonished。 The nightmare 

city was gone。 The car had been to him no more than a room in a house�察�

and when he had entered it the city had been all around him。 In the interval 

the  city  had   disappeared。 The  roar  of   it no longer   dinned upon   his   ears。 

Before     him   was   smiling    country�察  �streaming    with   sunshine�察   �lazy   with 

quietude。     But   he  had   little  time  to  marvel    at  the  transformation。    He 

accepted it as he accepted all the unaccountable doings and manifestations 

of the gods。 It was their way。 

     There   was   a   carriage   waiting。 A  man   and   a   woman   approached   the 

master。 The   woman's   arms   went   out   and   clutched   the   master   around   the 

neck ´ a hostile act� �The next moment Weedon Scott had torn loose from 

the   embrace   and   closed   with   White   Fang�察  �who   had   become   a   snarling�察�

raging demon。 

     ;It's all right�察�mother�察─�Scott was saving as he kept tight hold of White 

Fang and placated him。 ;He thought you were going to injure me�察�and he 

wouldn't stand for it。 It's all right。 It's all right。 He'll learn soon enough。; 

     ;And in the meantime I may be permitted to love my son when his dog 

is not around�察─�she laughed�察�though she was pale and weak from the fright。 

     She    looked    at  White   Fang�察   �who    snarled   and   bristled   and   glared 

malevolently。 

     ;He'll have to learn�察�and he shall�察�without postponement�察─�Scott said。 

     He spoke softly to White Fang until he had quieted him�察�then his voice 

became firm。 

     ;Down�察�sir� �Down with you� ─�

     This had been one of the things taught him by the master�察�and White 

Fang obeyed�察�though he lay down reluctantly and sullenly。 

     ;Now�察�mother。; 

     Scott opened his arms to her�察�but kept his eyes on White Fang。

     ;Down� ─�he warned。 ;Down� ─�

     White Fang�察�bristling silently�察�half´crouching as he rose�察�sank back and 

watched   the   hostile   act   repeated。   But   no   harm   came   of   it�察  �nor   of   the 

embrace   from  the   strange  man´god   that   followed。 Then   the   clothes´bags 

were     taken    into   the  carriage�察   �the   strange    gods    and   the   love´master 

followed�察  �and   White   Fang   pursued�察  �now   running   vigilantly   behind�察  �now 

bristling up to the running horses and warning them that he was there to 

see that no harm befell the god they dragged so swiftly across the earth。 

     At the end of fifteen minutes�察�the carriage swung in through a   stone 

gateway  and   on   between   a   double   row  of   arched   and   interlacing   walnut 

trees。 On either side stretched lawns�察�their broad sweep broken here and 

there by great sturdy´limbed oaks。 In the near distance�察�in contrast with the 

young´green of the tended grass�察�sunburnt hay´fields showed tan and gold�察�

while beyond were the tawny hills and upland pastures。 From the head of 

the   lawn�察  �on   the   first   soft   swell   from   the   valley´level�察  �looked   down   the 

deep´ porched�察�many´windowed house。 

     Little opportunity was given White Fang to see all this。 Hardly had the 

carriage   entered     the   grounds�察   �when   he    was   set   upon   by   a  sheep´dog�察�

bright´eyed�察     �sharp´muzzled�察      �righteously     indignant     and    angry。    It  was 

between   him   and   the      master�察  �cutting   him   off。   White   Fang   snarled     no 

warning�察�but his hair bristled as he made his silent and deadly rush。 This 

rush was never completed。 He halted with awkward abruptness�察�with stiff 

fore´legs bracing himself against his momentum�察�almost sitting down on 

his haunches�察�so desirous was he of avoiding contact with the dog he was 

in the act of attacking。 It was a female�察�and the law of his kind thrust a 

barrier between。 For him to attack her would require nothing less than a 

violation of his instinct。 

     But    with    the   sheep´dog      it  was   otherwise。     Being     a  female�察   �she 

possessed   no   such   instinct。   On   the   other   hand�察  �being   a   sheep´dog�察  �her 

instinctive fear of the Wild�察�and especially of the wolf�察�was unusually keen。 

White Fang was   to her a   wolf�察�the hereditary  marauder who had preyed 

upon   her   flocks   from   the   time   sheep   were   first   herded   and   guarded   by 

some dim ancestor of hers。 And so�察�as he abandoned his rush at her and 

braced   himself   to   avoid   the   contact�察  �she   sprang   upon   him。   He   snarled

involuntarily as he felt her teeth in his shoulder�察�but beyond this made no 

offer   to   hurt   her。   He   backed   away�察  �stiff´legged   with   self´consciousness�察�

and tried to go around her。 He dodged this way and that�察�and curved and 

turned�察�but to no purpose。 She remained always between him and the way 

he wanted to go。 

     ;Here�察�Collie� ─�called the strange man in the carriage。 

     Weedon Scott laughed。 

     ;Never   mind�察  �father。   It   is   good   discipline。   White   Fang   will   have   to 

learn   many   things�察  �and   it's   just   as   well   that   he   begins   now。   He'll   adjust 

himself all right。; 

     The carriage drove on�察�and still Collie blocked White Fang's way。 He 

tried to outrun her by leaving the drive and circling across the lawn but she 

ran on the inner and smaller circle�察�and was always there�察�facing him with 

her two rows of gleaming teeth。 Back he circled�察�across the drive to the 

other lawn�察�and again she headed him off。 

     The     carriage    was    bearing    the   master    away。     White    Fang     caught 

glimpses of it disappearing amongst the trees。 The situation was desperate。 

He    essayed     another    circle。   She   followed�察    �running    swiftly。   And     then�察�

suddenly�察  �he   turned   upon   her。   It   was   his   old   fighting   trick。   Shoulder   to 

shoulder�察�he struck her squarely。 Not only was she overthrown。 So fast had 

she been running that she rolled along�察�now on her back�察�now on her side�察�

as she struggled to stop�察�clawing gravel with her feet and crying shrilly her 

hurt pride and indignation。 

     White Fang did not wait。 The way was clear�察�and that was all he had 

wanted。      She    took   after   him�察   �never    ceasing    her   outcry。    It  was    the 

straightaway   now�察  �and   when   it   came   to   real   running�察  �White   Fang   could 

teach her things。 She ran frantically�察�hysterically�察�straining to the utmost�察�

advertising   the   effort   she   was   making   with   every   leap�此  �and   all   the   time 

White Fang slid smoothly away from her silently�察�without effort�察�gliding 

like a ghost over the ground。 

     As he rounded the house to the PORTE´COCHERE�察�he came upon the
