went into the thicket and cut a stick。 White Fang watched him。 He notched 

the stick at each end and in the notches fastened strings of raw´hide。 One 

string he tied around the throat of Kiche。 Then he led her to a small pine�察�

around which he tied the other string。 

     White Fang followed and lay down beside her。 Salmon Tongue's hand 

reached   out   to   him   and   rolled   him   over   on   his   back。   Kiche   looked   on 

anxiously。 White Fang felt fear mounting in him again。 He could not quite 

suppress   a   snarl�察  �but   he   made   no   offer   to   snap。   The   hand�察  �with   fingers 

crooked and spread apart�察�rubbed his stomach in a playful way and rolled 

him from side to side。 It was ridiculous and ungainly�察�lying there on his 

back with legs sprawling in the air。 Besides�察�it was a position of such utter 

helplessness that White Fang's whole nature revolted against it。 He could 

do   nothing   to   defend   himself。   If   this   man´animal   intended   harm�察  �White 

Fang knew that he could not escape it。 How could he spring away with his 

four legs in the air above him�拭�Yet submission made him master his fear�察�

and he only growled softly。 This growl he could not suppress�察�nor did the 

man´animal resent it by giving him a blow on the head。 And furthermore�察�

such was the strangeness of it�察�White Fang experienced an unaccountable 

sensation   of   pleasure   as   the   hand   rubbed   back   and   forth。   When   he   was 

rolled    on   his  side   he   ceased    to  growl�察   �when     the  fingers    pressed    and 

prodded   at   the   base   of   his   ears   the   pleasurable   sensation   increased�察  �and 

when�察�with a final rub and scratch�察�the man left him alone and went away�察�

all fear had died out of White Fang。 He was to know fear many times in 

his   dealing   with   man�察  �yet   it   was   a   token   of   the   fearless   companionship 

with man that was ultimately to be his。 

     After   a   time�察  �White   Fang   heard   strange   noises   approaching。   He   was 

quick   in   his   classification�察  �for   he   knew   them   at   once   for   man´   animal

noises。 A few minutes later the remainder of the tribe�察�strung out as it was 

on   the   march�察  �trailed   in。   There   were   more   men   and   many   women   and 

children�察    �forty   souls   of   them�察   �and   all  heavily    burdened      with   camp 

equipage   and      outfit。   Also  there   were   many   dogs�察    �and   these�察  �with   the 

exception of the part´grown puppies�察�were likewise burdened with camp 

outfit。 On their backs�察�in bags that fastened tightly around underneath�察�the 

dogs carried from twenty to thirty pounds of weight。 

     White Fang had never seen   dogs before�察�but at sight of them he   felt 

that they were his own kind�察�only somehow different。 But they displayed 

little  difference    from   the   wolf    when    they   discovered     the  cub   and   his 

mother。 There was a rush。 White Fang bristled and snarled and snapped in 

the face of the open´mouthed oncoming wave of dogs�察�and went down and 

under them�察�feeling the sharp slash of teeth in his body�察�himself biting and 

tearing   at   the   legs   and   bellies   above   him。   There   was   a   great   uproar。   He 

could hear the snarl of Kiche as she fought for him�察�and he could hear the 

cries of the man´animals�察�the sound of clubs striking upon bodies�察�and the 

yelps of pain from the dogs so struck。 

     Only a few seconds elapsed before he was on his feet again。 He could 

now   see   the   man´animals   driving   back   the   dogs   with   clubs   and   stones�察�

defending him�察�saving him from the savage teeth of his kind that somehow 

was not his kind。 And though there was no reason in his brain for a clear 

conception of so abstract a thing as justice�察�nevertheless�察�in his own way�察�

he felt the justice of the man´ animals�察�and he knew them for what they 

were ´ makers of law and executors of law。 Also�察�he appreciated the power 

with   which   they   administered   the   law。   Unlike   any   animals   he   had   ever 

encountered�察�they did not bite nor claw。 They enforced their live strength 

with the power of dead things。 Dead things did their bidding。 Thus�察�sticks 

and stones�察�directed by these strange creatures�察�leaped through the air like 

living things�察�inflicting grievous hurts upon the dogs。 

     To his mind this was power unusual�察�power inconceivable and beyond 

the natural�察�power that was godlike。 White Fang�察�in the very nature of him�察�

could   never   know   anything   about   gods�察  �at   the   best   he   could   know   only 

things that were beyond knowing ´ but the wonder and awe that he had of 

these man´animals in ways resembled what would be the wonder and awe

of   man   at   sight   of   some   celestial   creature�察  �on   a   mountain   top�察  �hurling 

thunderbolts from either hand at an astonished world。 

     The last dog had been driven back。 The hubbub died down。 And White 

Fang   licked   his   hurts   and   meditated   upon   this�察  �his   first   taste   of   pack´ 

cruelty  and   his   introduction   to   the   pack。   He   had   never   dreamed   that   his 

own kind consisted of more than One Eye�察�his mother�察�and himself。 They 

had constituted a kind apart�察�and here�察�abruptly�察�he had discovered many 

more creatures apparently of his own kind。 And there was a subconscious 

resentment   that   these�察  �his   kind�察  �at   first   sight   had   pitched   upon   him   and 

tried to destroy  him。 In the   same way  he resented his   mother being tied 

with   a   stick�察  �even   though   it   was   done   by   the   superior   man´animals。   It 

savoured of the trap�察�of bondage。 Yet of the trap and of bondage he knew 

nothing。   Freedom   to   roam   and   run   and   lie   down   at   will�察  �had   been   his 

heritage�察�and here it was being infringed upon。 His mother's movements 

were restricted to the length of a stick�察�and by the length of that same stick 

was he restricted�察�for he had not yet got beyond the need of his mother's 

side。 

     He did not like it。 Nor did he like it when the man´animals arose and 

went on with their march�察�for a tiny man´animal took the other end of the 

stick and led Kiche captive behind him�察�and behind Kiche followed White 

Fang�察�greatly perturbed and worried by this new adventure he had entered 

upon。 

     They   went   down   the   valley   of   the   stream�察  �far   beyond   White   Fang's 

widest ranging�察�until they came to the end of the valley�察�where the stream 

ran into the Mackenzie River。 Here�察�where canoes were cached on poles 

high in the air and where stood fish´racks for the drying of fish�察�camp was 

made�察�and White Fang looked on with wondering eyes。
