The wolf moved swiftly.

From time to time its husky barkings were heard; and the Indian from the Rito, guided by these signals, followed as rapidly as possible.

At last he saw the outlines of a juniper-bush against a faint glow.

Behind it sounded the crackling of freshly ignited brushwood, and soon a light spread over the surrounding neighbourhood.
Stepping into the illuminated circle Tyope stood before a man squatting by the fire.
The man was heaping wood on the fire which he had just started.

By his side lay the skin of a large wolf.
