There
was
no
way
for
anybody
to
tell
him
about
all
these
people
,
and
of
blood-ties
and
relationship
he
knew
nothing
whatever
and
never
would
be
capable
of
knowing
.
Yet
he
quickly
worked
it
out
that
all
of
them
belonged
to
the
master
.
Then
,
by
observation
,
whenever
opportunity
offered
,
by
study
of
action
,
speech
,
and
the
very
intonations
of
the
voice
,
he
slowly
learned
the
intimacy
and
the
degree
of
favour
they
enjoyed
with
the
master
.
And
by
this
ascertained
standard
,
White
Fang
treated
them
accordingly
.
What
was
of
value
to
the
master
he
valued
;
what
was
dear
to
the
master
was
to
be
cherished
by
White
Fang
and
guarded
carefully
.
Thus
it
was
with
the
two
children
.
All
his
life
he
had
disliked
children
.
He
hated
and
feared
their
hands
.
The
lessons
were
not
tender
that
he
had
learned
of
their
tyranny
and
cruelty
in
the
days
of
the
Indian
villages
.
When
Weedon
and
Maud
had
first
approached
him
,
he
growled
warningly
and
looked
malignant
.
A
cuff
from
the
master
and
a
sharp
word
had
then
compelled
him
to
permit
their
caresses
,
though
he
growled
and
growled
under
their
tiny
hands
,
and
in
the
growl
there
was
no
crooning
note
.
Later
,
he
observed
that
the
boy
and
girl
were
of
great
value
in
the
master
's
eyes
.
Then
it
was
that
no
cuff
nor
sharp
word
was
necessary
before
they
could
pat
him
.
Yet
White
Fang
was
never
effusively
affectionate
.
He
yielded
to
the
master
's
children
with
an
ill
but
honest
grace
,
and
endured
their
fooling
as
one
would
endure
a
painful
operation
.
When
he
could
no
longer
endure
,
he
would
get
up
and
stalk
determinedly
away
from
them
.
But
after
a
time
,
he
grew
even
to
like
the
children
.
Still
he
was
not
demonstrative
.
He
would
not
go
up
to
them
.
On
the
other
hand
,
instead
of
walking
away
at
sight
of
them
,
he
waited
for
them
to
come
to
him
.

And
still
later
,
it
was
noticed
that
a
pleased
light
came
into
his
eyes
when
he
saw
them
approaching
,
and
that
he
looked
after
them
with
an
appearance
of
curious
regret
when
they
left
him
for
other
amusements
.
All
this
was
a
matter
of
development
,
and
took
time
.
Next
in
his
regard
,
after
the
children
,
was
Judge
Scott
.
There
were
two
reasons
,
possibly
,
for
this
.
First
,
he
was
evidently
a
valuable
possession
of
the
master
's
,
and
next
,
he
was
undemonstrative
.
White
Fang
liked
to
lie
at
his
feet
on
the
wide
porch
when
he
read
the
newspaper
,
from
time
to
time
favouring
White
Fang
with
a
look
or
a
word
--
untroublesome
tokens
that
he
recognised
White
Fang
's
presence
and
existence
.
But
this
was
only
when
the
master
was
not
around
.
When
the
master
appeared
,
all
other
beings
ceased
to
exist
so
far
as
White
Fang
was
concerned
.
White
Fang
allowed
all
the
members
of
the
family
to
pet
him
and
make
much
of
him
;
but
he
never
gave
to
them
what
he
gave
to
the
master
.
No
caress
of
theirs
could
put
the
love-croon
into
his
throat
,
and
,
try
as
they
would
,
they
could
never
persuade
him
into
snuggling
against
them
.
This
expression
of
abandon
and
surrender
,
of
absolute
trust
,
he
reserved
for
the
master
alone
.
In
fact
,
he
never
regarded
the
members
of
the
family
in
any
other
light
than
possessions
of
the
love-master
.
Also
White
Fang
had
early
come
to
differentiate
between
the
family
and
the
servants
of
the
household
.
The
latter
were
afraid
of
him
,
while
he
merely
refrained
from
attacking
them
.
This
because
he
considered
that
they
were
likewise
possessions
of
the
master
.
Between
White
Fang
and
them
existed
a
neutrality
and
no
more
.
They
cooked
for
the
master
and
washed
the
dishes
and
did
other
things
just
as
Matt
had
done
up
in
the
Klondike
.
They
were
,
in
short
,
appurtenances
of
the
household
.

Outside
the
household
there
was
even
more
for
White
Fang
to
learn
.
The
master
's
domain
was
wide
and
complex
,
yet
it
had
its
metes
and
bounds
.
The
land
itself
ceased
at
the
county
road
.
Outside
was
the
common
domain
of
all
gods
--
the
roads
and
streets
.
Then
inside
other
fences
were
the
particular
domains
of
other
gods
.
A
myriad
laws
governed
all
these
things
and
determined
conduct
;
yet
he
did
not
know
the
speech
of
the
gods
,
nor
was
there
any
way
for
him
to
learn
save
by
experience
.
He
obeyed
his
natural
impulses
until
they
ran
him
counter
to
some
law
.
When
this
had
been
done
a
few
times
,
he
learned
the
law
and
after
that
observed
it
.
But
most
potent
in
his
education
was
the
cuff
of
the
master
's
hand
,
the
censure
of
the
master
's
voice
.
Because
of
White
Fang
's
very
great
love
,
a
cuff
from
the
master
hurt
him
far
more
than
any
beating
Grey
Beaver
or
Beauty
Smith
had
ever
given
him
.
They
had
hurt
only
the
flesh
of
him
;
beneath
the
flesh
the
spirit
had
still
raged
,
splendid
and
invincible
.
But
with
the
master
the
cuff
was
always
too
light
to
hurt
the
flesh
.
Yet
it
went
deeper
.
It
was
an
expression
of
the
master
's
disapproval
,
and
White
Fang
's
spirit
wilted
under
it
.
In
point
of
fact
,
the
cuff
was
rarely
administered
.
The
master
's
voice
was
sufficient
.
By
it
White
Fang
knew
whether
he
did
right
or
not
.
By
it
he
trimmed
his
conduct
and
adjusted
his
actions
.
It
was
the
compass
by
which
he
steered
and
learned
to
chart
the
manners
of
a
new
land
and
life
.
