The Lightning Warrior

Published: 1932

The Lightning Warrior is the name given to the great white wolf that is so swift in attacking its prey. A bounty is offered but no one can catch or kill the animal, that is until Cobalt arrives in the area.

When the giant known as Cobalt offers the white wolf, Lightning Warrior, to Sylvia Baird, he expects her hand in marriage. But Sylvia reneges on an earlier promise and takes flight. 

«Baird spoke first. “It’s Cobalt!”

He had the glasses fixed against his eyes. When I heard him say this, I reached over, and he handed me the glasses. The picture drew closer. It wasCobalt. He had dragged from the pack on his sled a rifle which he held to his shoulder with his left hand alone, and at this moment he was firing into some brush to the right of the sled.

There was no answering shot at Cobalt, but another of Cobalt’s dogs went down. Then I understood.
