LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. 
Our rook cocked his head sideways and slowly 
closed one eye . 
Green-eyed, flitting ghosts—more wolves 
That old tree had only the rat and hedgehog left 
alive upon it . 
Flapped so close above the upthrust beak 
Wondered how on earth it got there 
She discovered that she could squeeze in between 
board and coop . 
The lion was still now, lying on his side 
The long hindlegs drew up like tense springs 
She stole to the nest 
Hundreds of cattle going down from some remote 
mountain ranch ; : 
At every floundering stride the dog had stopped, 
fairly beaten : 
With the mink’s fangs buried in the back of its 
neck .
