He meant 40 harm now. He would
kill for her. He cr3nged toward her,
inch by inch, his eyes never faltering.
He heard what the man said-"GOod
heaveni Look at that r'-and he
shuddered. But no blow fell to drive
him back. His cold muzzle touched
her dlmy dress. and she looked at him,
without moving, her wet eyes blazing
like stars.
"Seei" she whispered. "See!"
Now his muzzle Travelled slowly up
ward-Over her foot, to her lap and
at last touched the warm little hand
that lay there. His eyes were still on
her face; he saw a queer throbbing in
her bare white throat, and then a
trembling Of her lips as she looked up
at the man with a wonderful look. He,
too, knelt down beside them, and put
his arm about the girl again, and pat
ted the dog on his head. Kazan did
not like the mans touch. He mis-
trusted 1t, as nature had taught him
to mistrust the touch of all mems
hands, but he permitted it because he
saw that 1t in some way pleased the
girl.
"Kazan, old boy, you wouldn't hurt
her, would your" said his master soft
ly. I'VE both love her, don't we, boy?
Can't help 1t, can we? And she's ours,
Kazan, all Oursl She belongs to you
and to me. and we're going to take
care of her all our lives, and II we
ever have to. We'll fight for her like
h-l-wOn't we? Eth, Kazan, old boy?"
For a long time after they left him
where he was lying on the rug, Ka-
zan's eyes did not leave the girl. After
a time his master said something, and
with little laugh the girl jumped up
and ran to big, square, shining thing
that stood crosswise in a corner and
which had row of white teeth longer
than his own body. He had wondered
what those teeth were for. The girls
fingers touched them now, and all the
whispering Of winds that he had
ever heard, all the music Of the wa
terfalls and the rapids and the trill-
ing of birds in springtime, could not
equal the sounds they made. 1t was
his first music. Slowly he began stink
