Wolf Fanps

Ever read white Fang Jack Lon
don's companion story to his Call of the
Wild?"
The latter story, you will remember.
shows how dog gently reared. having
been stolen for the Klondike sledge trail
and most cruelty treated. escaped to the
wolves and became as savage as they.
White Fang shows the opposite force
of kinfness and good surroundings.
Briefly, this Is. the tale:
White Fang is part wolf. He fights
from mere Inherent love of fighting and is
savagelv cruel He falls into the hands
of Weeden Scott. a master whose kind
ness to the vicious brute seems thrown
av ay Scott persists in his steady GENTLE
ness and finally finds the one soft spot
under the hide of the little beast.
The discovery is made thus.
The master leaves the wolf dog for a
few DAYS. Although hitherto White Fang
never has responded to Scott's kindaess,
when the latter leaves the dog pines and
refuses to eat. What is more significant.
he refuses to fight. When Scott returns
the dog meets him. trembling. and mira
clio of miracles
The wolf Is W. gging his tail.
Which means that White Fang Is con-
quered, ctviltzed. saved Redeemed by
