"Baree" is the thrilling adventure story about a wolf-pup,
accidentally separated from his parents, who learns love and
compassion while he learns to survive in the Canadian wilderness on
his own.
Between Conniston, of His Majesty's Royal Northwest Mounted Police,
and Keith, the outlaw, there was a striking physical and facial
resemblance. Both had observed it, of course. It gave them a sort
of confidence in each other. Between them it hovered in a subtle
and unanalyzed presence that was constantly suggesting to Conniston
a line of action that would have made him a traitor to his oath of
duty. For nearly a month he had crushed down the whispered
temptings of this thing between them. He represented the law. He
was the law. For twenty-seven months he had followed Keith, and
always there had been in his mind that parting injunction of the
splendid service of which he was a part - "Don't come back until
you get your man, dead or alive." Otherwise - A racking cough split
in upon his thoughts. He sat up on the edge of the cot, and at the
gasping cry of pain that came with the red stain of blood on his
lips Keith went to him and with a strong arm supported his
shoulders. He said nothing, and after a moment Conniston wiped the
stain away and laughed softly, even before the shadow of pain had
faded from his eyes. One of his hands rested on a wrist that still
bore the ring-mark of a handcuff. The sight of it brought him back
to grim reality. After all, fate was playing whimsically as well as
tragically with their destinies.
