grub than be grub。 They're pretty wise�察�them dogs。; 

     Bill shook his head。 ;Oh�察�I don't know。; 

     His comrade looked at him curiously。 ;First time I ever heard you say 

anything about their not bein' wise。; 

     ;Henry�察─�said the other�察�munching with deliberation the beans he was 

eating�察 �did you happen to notice the way them dogs kicked up when I was 

a´feedin' 'em�拭─�

     ;They did cut up more'n usual�察─�Henry acknowledged。 

     ;How many dogs 've we got�察�Henry�拭─�

     ;Six。; 

     ;Well�察�Henry 。 。 。 ; Bill stopped for a moment�察�in order that his words 

might   gain   greater   significance。   ;As   I   was   sayin'�察  �Henry�察  �we've   got   six 

dogs。 I took six fish out of the bag。 I gave one fish to each dog�察�an'�察�Henry�察�

I was one fish short。; 

     ;You counted wrong。;

     ;We've got six dogs�察─�the other reiterated dispassionately。 ;I took out 

six fish。 One Ear didn't get no fish。 I came back to the bag afterward an' 

got 'm his fish。; 

     ;We've only got six dogs�察─�Henry said。 

     ;Henry�察─�Bill went on。 ;I won't say they was all dogs�察�but there was 

seven of 'm that got fish。; 

     Henry stopped eating to glance across the fire and count the dogs。 

     ;There's only six now�察─�he said。 

     ;I   saw   the   other   one   run   off   across   the   snow�察─  �Bill   announced   with 

cool positiveness。 ;I saw seven。; 

     Henry looked at him commiseratingly�察�and said�察 �I'll be almighty glad 

when this trip's over。; 

     ;What d'ye mean by that�拭─�Bill demanded。 

     ;I mean that this load of ourn is gettin' on your nerves�察�an' that you're 

beginnin' to see things。; 

     ;I thought of that�察─�Bill answered gravely。 ;An' so�察�when I saw it run 

off across the snow�察�I looked in the snow an' saw its tracks。 Then I counted 

the dogs an' there was still six of 'em。 The tracks is there in the snow now。 

D'ye want to look at 'em�拭�I'll show 'em to you。; 

     Henry     did   not   reply�察 �but   munched      on   in  silence�察  �until�察 �the   meal 

finished�察  �he   topped   it   with   a   final   cup   a   of   coffee。   He   wiped   his   mouth 

with the back of his hand and said�此�

     ;Then you're thinkin' as it was ´ ; 

     A long wailing cry�察�fiercely sad�察�from somewhere in the darkness�察�had 

interrupted him。  He stopped   to listen   to it�察 �then he   finished his   sentence 

with a wave of his hand toward the sound of the cry�察 ─ � one of them�拭─�

     Bill   nodded。   ;I'd   a  blame   sight   sooner  think   that   than   anything   else。 

You noticed yourself the row the dogs made。; 

     Cry   after   cry�察  �and   answering   cries�察  �were   turning   the   silence   into   a 

bedlam。 From every side the cries arose�察�and the dogs betrayed their fear 

by huddling together and so close to the fire that their hair was scorched 

by the heat。 Bill threw on more wood�察�before lighting his pipe。 

     ;I'm thinking you're down in the mouth some�察─�Henry said。 

     ;Henry 。 。 。 ; He sucked meditatively at his pipe for some time before

he went on。 ;Henry�察�I was a´thinkin' what a blame sight luckier he is than 

you an' me'll ever be。; 

     He indicated the third person by a downward thrust of the thumb to the 

box on which they sat。 

     ;You   an'   me�察  �Henry�察  �when   we   die�察  �we'll   be   lucky   if   we   get   enough 

stones over our carcases to keep the dogs off of us。; 

     ;But we ain't got people an' money an' all the rest�察�like him�察─�Henry 

rejoined。   ;Long´distance   funerals   is   somethin'   you   an'   me   can't   exactly 

afford。; 

     ;What      gets  me�察  �Henry�察   �is  what    a  chap   like   this�察 �that's  a  lord  or 

something in his own country�察�and that's never had to bother about grub 

nor blankets�察�why he comes a´buttin' round the Godforsaken ends of the 

earth ´ that's what I can't exactly see。; 

     ;He might have lived to a ripe old age if he'd stayed at home�察─�Henry 

agreed。 

     Bill   opened   his   mouth   to   speak�察  �but   changed   his   mind。   Instead�察  �he 

pointed towards the wall of darkness that pressed about them from every 

side。 There was no suggestion of form in the utter blackness�察�only could be 

seen a pair of eyes gleaming like live coals。 Henry indicated with his head 

a second pair�察�and a third。 A circle of the gleaming eyes had drawn about 

their camp。 Now and again a pair of eyes moved�察�or disappeared to appear 

again a moment later。 

     The unrest of the dogs had been increasing�察�and they stampeded�察�in a 

surge   of   sudden   fear�察  �to   the   near   side   of   the   fire�察  �cringing   and   crawling 

about   the   legs   of   the   men。   In   the   scramble   one   of   the   dogs   had   been 

overturned on the edge of the fire�察�and it had yelped with pain and fright as 

the smell of its singed coat possessed the air。 The commotion caused the 

circle of eyes to shift restlessly for a moment and even to withdraw a bit�察�

but it settled down again as the dogs became quiet。 

     ;Henry�察�it's a blame misfortune to be out of ammunition。; 

     Bill had finished his pipe and was helping his companion to spread the 

bed of fur and blanket upon the spruce boughs which he had laid over the 

snow before supper。 Henry grunted�察�and began unlacing his mocassins。 

     ;How many cartridges did you say you had left�拭─�he asked。 



                                              7

     ;Three�察─�came the answer。 ;An' I wisht 'twas three hundred。 Then I'd 

show 'em what for�察�damn 'em� ─�

     He shook his fist angrily at the gleaming eyes�察�and began securely to 

prop his moccasins before the fire。 

     ;An' I wisht this cold snap'd break�察─�he went on。 ;It's ben fifty below 

for two weeks now。 An' I wisht I'd never started on this trip�察�Henry。 I don't 

like the looks of it。 I   don't feel right�察�somehow。 An' while   I'm  wishin'�察 �I 

wisht the trip was over an' done with�察�an' you an' me a´sittin' by the fire in 

Fort McGurry just about now an' playing cribbage ´ that's what I wisht。; 

     Henry grunted and crawled into bed。 As he dozed off he was aroused 

by his comrade's voice。 

     ;Say�察�Henry�察�that other one that come in an' got a fish ´ why didn't the 

dogs pitch into it�拭�That's what's botherin' me。; 

     ;You're botherin' too much�察�Bill�察─�came the sleepy response。 ;You was 

never like this before。 You jes' shut up now�察�an' go to sleep�察�an' you'll be all 

hunkydory   in      the   mornin'。   Your   stomach's   sour�察  �that's   what's   botherin' 

you。; 

     The men slept�察�breathing heavily�察�side by side�察�under the one covering。 

The fire died down�察�and the gleaming eyes drew closer the circle they had 

flung about the
