The cat leaped, but toward Winnie, not the collie.

With a cry of terror Winnie turned and ran in the direction of the bungalow.

Kathlyn, seizing the leash, followed like the wind, hampered though she was by the apron.

The cat loped after the fleeing girl, gaining at each bound.

The yelping of the collie brought forth from various points low rumbling sounds, which presently developed into roars.
Winnie turned sharply around the corner of the bungalow toward the empty animal cages, to attract her father and at the same time rouse some of the keepers.
