The Winnipeg Wolf 
smelt the Wolf. But several strong men held 
their leash, the wagon was drawn half a mile 
farther, and the Wolf was turned out with 
some difficulty, At first he looked scared and 
sullen. He tried to get out of sight, but made 
no attempt to bite. However, on finding him- 
self free, as well as hissed and hooted at, he 
started off at a slinking trot toward the south, 
where the land seemed broken. The Dogs 
were released at that moment, and, baying 
furiously, they bounded away after the young 
Wolf. The men cheered loudly and rode be- 
hind them. From the very first it was clear 
that he had no chance. The Dogs were much 
swifter; the white one could run like a Grey- 
hound. The German was wildly enthusiastic 
as she flew across the prairie, gaining visibly 
on the Wolf at every second. Many bets 
were offered on the Dogs, but there were no 
takers. The only bets accepted were Dog 
against Dog. The young Wolf went at speed 
now, but within a mile the white Dog was right 
behind him—was closing in. 
The German shouted: “ Now watch and see 
that Wolf go up in the air.”
