legs and shoulders and were pulling at him, that he under~
stood that he was losing his prey. In a flash he had bent
down and sunk his teeth into the man's cheek; and when
they tore him away he was dripping with blood, and little
ribbons of skin were hanging in his mouth.

They got him down upon the floor, clinging to him by
his arms and legs, and still they could hardly hold him.
He fought like a tiger, writhing and twisting, half flinging
them off, and starting toward his unconscious enemy.
But yet others rushed in, until there was a little mountain
of twisted limbs and bodies, heaving and tossing, and
working its way about the room. In the end, by their
sheer weight, they choked the breath out of him, and then
they carried him to the company police-station, where he
lay still until they had summoned a patrol wagon to take
him away.
