Story:
Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. To be
sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had
learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit
for a wisdom that outreached his own. But when the
ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands, he
growled menacingly. He had merely intimated his
displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to
command. But to his surprise the rope tightened around
his neck, shutting off his breath.
