     〃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。
