And when I looked again more calmly, I plainly saw that it was indeed the face of the Canadian, but his face turned animal, yet mingled with the brute expression a curiously pathetic look like the soul seen sometimes in the yearning eyes of a dog,—the face of an animal shot with vivid streaks of the human. The doctor called to him softly under his breath— "Sangree! Sangree, you poor afflicted creature! Do you know me?
