One of the smaller jackals had forced its head and one leg between the tars, and was struggling to enlarge the opening. Fearful that the whole pack was about to burst In upon her, the girl grasped the bamboo stake In both hands, and began stabbing and lung ing at the beast with all her strength. The jackal squirmed and snarled and snapped viciously. But the girl was now frantic. She pressed nearer, and though the white teeth grazed her wrist, she drove home a thrust that changed the beast's snarls into a howl of pain. Before she could strike again, it had struggled back out of the hole, beyond reach. Tense and panting with excitement, she leaned forward, ready to stab at the next beast.
