the terror it inspired was as vivid and great as ever。

                                        White Fang 



     Then came the day when the last bandage and the last plaster cast were 

taken   off。   It   was   a   gala   day。 All   Sierra   Vista   was   gathered   around。   The 

master rubbed his ears; and he crooned his love…growl。 The master's wife 

called him the 〃Blessed Wolf;〃 which name was taken up with acclaim and 

all the women called him the Blessed Wolf。 

     He tried to rise to his feet; and after several attempts fell down from 

weakness。 He had lain so long that his muscles had lost their cunning; and 

all the strength had gone out of them。 He felt a little shame because of his 

weakness; as though; forsooth; he were failing the gods in the service he 

owed them。 Because of this he made heroic efforts to arise and at last he 

stood on his four legs; tottering and swaying back and forth。 

     〃The Blessed Wolf!〃 chorused the women。 

     Judge Scott surveyed them triumphantly。 

     〃Out   of   your   own   mouths   be   it;〃   he   said。   〃Just   as   I   contended   right 

along。 No mere dog could have done what he did。 He's a wolf。〃 

     〃A Blessed Wolf;〃 amended the Judge's wife。 

     〃Yes; Blessed Wolf;〃 agreed the Judge。 〃And henceforth that shall be 

my name for him。〃 

     〃He'll have to learn to walk again;〃 said the surgeon; 〃so he might as 

well start in right now。 It won't hurt him。 Take him outside。〃 

     And outside he went; like a king; with all Sierra Vista about him and 

tending on him。 He was very weak; and when he reached the lawn he lay 

down and rested for a while。 

     Then   the   procession   started   on;   little   spurts   of   strength   coming   into 

White   Fang's   muscles   as   he   used   them   and   the   blood   began   to    surge 

through   them。   The   stables   were   reached;   and   there   in   the   doorway;   lay 

Collie; a half…dozen pudgy puppies playing about her in the sun。 

     White Fang looked on with a wondering eye。 Collie snarled warningly 

at him; and he was careful to keep his distance。 The master with his toe 

helped one sprawling puppy toward him。 He bristled suspiciously; but the 

master warned him that all was well。 Collie; clasped in the arms of one of 

the women; watched him  jealously and with a snarl warned him that   all 

was not well。 

     The puppy sprawled in front of him。 He cocked his ears and watched it

curiously。 Then their noses touched; and he felt the warm little tongue of 

the puppy on his jowl。 White Fang's tongue went out; he knew not why; 

and he licked the puppy's face。 

     Hand…clapping        and    pleased     cries   from    the    gods    greeted    the 

performance。   He   was   surprised;   and   looked   at   them   in   a   puzzled   way。 

Then his weakness asserted itself; and he lay down; his ears cocked; his 

head   on    one   side;   as   he   watched   the   puppy。   The   other   puppies   came 

sprawling toward him; to Collie's great disgust; and he gravely permitted 

them to clamber and tumble over him。 At first; amid the applause of the 

gods; he betrayed a trifle of his old self…consciousness and awkwardness。 

This passed away as the puppies' antics and mauling continued; and he lay 

with half…shut patient eyes; drowsing in the sun。
