Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity (自尊)．He had learned to trust in men he knew and to give them credit.But when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，Buck roared，and was surprised when the rope tightened around his neck，shutting off his breath.In extreme anger，he jumped at the man.The man caught him and suddenly Buck was thrown over on his back.Then the rope tightened cruelly while Buck struggled，his tongue out of his mouth.Never in all his life had he been so badly treated.Never in all his life had he been so angry.For a few moments he was unable to move，and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.

　　When Buck woke up，the train was still moving.The man was sitting and watching him，but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man's hand hard.Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

　　That evening，the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco.The barman looked at the man's hand and trousers covered in blood.

　　“How much are they paying you for this？”he asked.

　　“Only get fifty dollars.”

　　“And the man who stole him—how much did he get？”asked the barman.

　　“A hundred.He wouldn't take less.”

　　“That makes a hundred and fifty.It's a good price for a dog like him.”

　　Buck spent that night in a cage­like box.He could not understand what it all meant.What did they want with him，these strange men？And where were Judge Miller and the boys?
