Chapter XIII
THE CALL OF THE WOLF. "That's the ticket, Lil Artha," said Elmer, as the tall scout returned presently, bearing on his shoulder quite a good-sized log about five feet in length. "Reckon that ought to hold all right," panted the burden bearer, as he cast the small tree trunk at Elmer's feet. "Fine and dandy," commented Mark, beginning to get the barricade in position. Of course the log had to be planted in such a way that it might secure a grip on the door.
