And in the sky are three suns, and all the air is flashing with the dust of diamonds. "And thus it was that I, Sitka Charley, saw the baby wolves make their kill. No word is spoken. Only does the stranger man snarl with his hungry face. AND IN THE SKY ARE THREE SUNS AND ALL THE AIR IS FLASHING WITH THE DUST OF DIAMONDS AND THUS IT WAS THAT I SITKA CHARLI SAW THE BABY WOLVES MAKE THEIR KILL NO WORD IS SPOKEN ONLY DOES THE STRANGER MAN SNARL WITH HIS HUNGRY FACE
an who goes before. On either side the sun are sun-dogs, so that there are three suns in the sky. The frost-dust is like the dust of diamonds, and all the air is filled with it. Now the woman coughs, and lies still in the snow until the fit has passed, when she crawls on again. Now the man looks ahead, and he is blear-eyed as with old age and must rub his eyes so that he can see the stranger-man. And now the stranger-man looks back over his shoulder. And Sitka Charley, standing upright, maybe falls down and stands upright again. "After a long time the stranger-man crawls no more. He stands slowly upon his feet and rocks back and forth. Also does he take off one mitten and wait with revolver in his hand, rocking back and forth as he waits. His face is skin and bones and frozen black. It is a hungry face. The eyes are deep-sunk in his head, and the lips are snarling. The man and woman, too, get upon their feet and they go toward him very slowly. And all about is the snow and the silence.
