ILLUSTRATIONS

Beside him, shivering and whimpering, were two wolf cubs _Frontispiece_

PAGE

Og squatted down close at hand and watched them 48

The pack stopped. Og and his fire arrested them 56

Og beheld in the lower branches three big forms 64

The great creature carried him as easily as Og would have carried
a young goat 76

It was trying to trace the direction of an odor 94

The boulder, with a crunching noise, came out of its insecure
resting place 100

Then he proceeded with his skinning, while the wolf cubs looked
silently on 102

Great bats, almost as big as Og himself 138

The huge serpent raised its head and shining neck aloft and
glared about the cavern 142
