"And how much for one that's all chewed up like this one?" Scott asked, nudging White Fang with his foot.<\/p>\n

"Half of that," was the dog–musher's judgment. Scott turned upon Beauty Smith.<\/p>\n

"Did you hear, Mr. Beast? I'm going to take your dog from you, and I'm going to give you a hundred and fifty for him."<\/p>\n

He opened his pocket–book and counted out the bills.<\/p>\n

Beauty Smith put his hands behind his back, refusing to touch the proffered money.<\/p>\n

"I ain't a–sellin'," he said.<\/p>\n

"Oh, yes you are," the other assured him. "Because I'm buying. Here's your money. The dog's mine."<\/p>\n

Beauty Smith, his hands still behind him, began to back away.<\/p>\n

Scott sprang toward him, drawing his fist back to strike. Beauty Smith cowered down in anticipation of the blow.<\/p>\n

"I've got my rights," he whimpered.<\/p>\n

"You've forfeited your rights to own that dog," was the rejoinder. "Are you going to take the money? or do I have to hit you again?"<\/p>\n

"All right," Beauty Smith spoke up with the alacrity of fear. "But I take the money under protest," he added. "The dog's a mint. I ain't a– goin' to be robbed. A man's got his rights."<\/p>\n

"Correct," Scott answered, passing the money over to him. "A man's got his rights. But you're not a man. You're a beast."<\/p>\n

"Wait till I get back to Dawson," Beauty Smith threatened. "I'll have the law on you."<\/p>\n

"If you open your mouth when you get back to Dawson, I'll have you run out of town. Understand?"<\/p>\n
