Text Appearing Before Image:
he pack squat uponthe shore, howling their disappointment, as they watch the deers frantic efforts tofree himself from his new danger. By desperate plunges he breaks the ice infront of him with his fore-feet, and pushes it away towards the clear water.Gradually the distance from his enemies and the shore increases, and now but asingle cake intervenes between him and safety. Half-rising he places his fore-feetupon it, and pushing it aside opens a channel, through which he floats into theopen stream. Well and bravely done ! At his ease he swims with the current,while the wolves with many a vengeful whine, watch him and follow himalong the opposite shore, some even venturing on ice that bears their weight ;until at last perceiving a curve of the bank where the ice is narrow, he pushesthrough, and, dripping with water, slowly mounts the friendly shore, and seeks someconcealed place where he may regain his strength in peace ; his dreadful race isfinished, his life at last is won. ^LATE XII
Text Appearing After Image:
A RACE FOR LIFE, A HAPPY FAMILY.
