Excerpt from The Outcasts
It was September; and all day A'tim had skulked in the willow cover of Belly River flat-lands, close to the lodges of the Blood Indians.
Nothing to eat had come the way of the dog-wolf; only a little knowledge of something that was to happen, for he had heard things, the voices of the Indians sitting in council had slipped gently down the wind to his sharp Wolf ears.
As he crawled up the river bank close to Belly Buttes and looked across the plain, he could see the pink flush of eventide, like a fairy veil, draping the cold blue mountains - the Rockies.
Good-night, warm Brother, he said, blinking at the setting sun; I wonder if you are going to sleep with an empty stomach, as must A'tim.
