ing off unconsciousness and waiting for the thing that was to feed upon him and upon which he wished to feed. Sometimes the languid sea rose over him and he dreamed long dreams; but ever through it all, waking and dreaming, he waited for the wheezing breath and the harsh caress of the tongue. He did not hear the breath, and he slipped slowly from some dream to the feel of the tongue along his hand. He waited. The fangs pressed softly; the pressure increased; the wolf was exerting its last strength in an effort to sink teeth in the food for which it had waited so long. But the man had waited long, and the lacerated hand closed on the jaw. Slowly, while the wolf struggled feebly and the hand clutched feebly, the other hand crept across to a grip. Five minutes later the whole weight of the man's body was on top of the wolf. The hands had not sufficient strength to choke the wolf, but the face of the man was pressed close to the throat of the wolf and the mouth of the man was full of hair. AY MOTIONLESS FIGHTING OFF UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND WAITING FOR THE THING THAT WAS TO FEED UPON HIM AND UPON WHICH HE WISHED TO FEED SOMETIMES THE LANGUID SEA ROSE OVER HIM AND HE DREAMED LONG DREAMS BUT EVER THROUGH IT ALL WAKING AND DREAMING HE WAITED FOR THE WHEEZING BREATH AND THE HARSH CARESS OF THE TONGUE HE DID NOT HEAR THE BREATH AND HE SLIPPED SLOWLY FROM SOME DREAM TO THE FEEL OF THE TONGUE ALONG HIS HAND HE WAITED THE FANGS PRESSED SOFTLY THE PRESSURE INCREASED THE WOLF WAS EXERTING ITS LAST STRENGTH IN AN EFFORT TO SINK TEETH IN THE FOOD FOR WHICH IT HAD WAITED SO LONG BUT THE MAN HAD WAITED LONG AND THE LACERATED HAND CLOSED ON THE JAW SLOWLY WHILE THE WOLF STRUGGLED FEEBLY AND THE HAND CLUTCHED FEEBLY THE OTHER HAND CREPT ACROSS TO A GRIP FIVE MINUTES LATER THE WHOLE WEIGHT OF THE MAN'S BODY WAS ON TOP OF THE WOLF THE HANDS HAD NOT SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO CHOKE THE WOLF BUT THE FACE OF THE MAN WAS PRESSED CLOSE TO THE THROAT OF THE WOLF AND THE MOUTH OF THE MAN WAS FULL OF HAIR
