vf19-01 It was beating and waiting in the ambush of those black pits
vf19-02 Something vastly more thrilling had come into it now
vf19-03 It took him half an hour to reach the edge of it
vf19-04 But there was no longer the mother yearning in his heart
vf19-05 Besides, had he not whipped the big owl in the forest
vf19-06 After all, it was simply a mistake in judgment
vf19-07 Had it struck squarely it would have killed him
vf19-08 The Indian even poked his stick into the thick ground spruce
vf19-09 Pebbles and dirt flew along with hair and fur
vf19-10 And he was filled with a strange and foreboding fear
vf19-11 It was steel, a fisher trap
vf19-12 OW, a wild dog, he growled
vf19-13 He was a pariah; a wanderer without a friend or a home
vf19-14 That is the strange part of it
vf19-15 His freshly caught furs he flung to the floor
vf19-16 For that reason Le Beau had chosen him to fight the big fight
vf19-17 In the crib the baby sat up and began to prattle
vf19-18 She obeyed, shrinking back with the baby in her arms
vf19-19 His teeth shut with a last click
vf19-20 It was over when he made his way through the ring of spectators
vf19-21 In a flash he was on his feet, facing him
vf19-22 He thought he saw a shudder pass through the Factor's shoulders
vf19-23 The moon had already begun its westward decline
vf19-24 They laughed like two happy children
vf19-25 He pulled, and the log crashed down to break his back
vf19-26 Fast, but endure
vf19-27 A little before dawn of the day following, the fire relief came
vf19-28 The Indian felt the worship of her warm in his heart
vf19-29 He drew in a deep breath as he looked at them
vf19-30 Then he shouted, Shut up
vf19-31 He changed his seat for a steamer reclining chair
vf19-32 On the far corner of the compound fence a hawk brooded
vf19-33 To these he gave castor oil
vf19-34 Hatred and murder and lust for revenge they possessed to overflowing
vf19-35 Sheldon glanced at the thermometer
vf19-36 I'll see to poor Hughie
vf19-37 Her gray eyes were flashing, and her lips were quivering
vf19-38 Also, I want information
vf19-39 Let them go out and eat with my boys
vf19-40 I, I beg pardon, he drawled
