At other times, when the north wind roars among the tree-tops, and a fine snow is falling, his “headlight” lan. tern gives the only sign of his where abouts. On such nights deer and moose are sometimes seen standing to gaze within the semicircle of his light, or a lynx will raise its big. ¢ ke head to blink at the blaze. Again there may be big gray wolves squatted on either side, their eves glinting in evil star points One night, after a protracted season of cold weather, these wolves gathered along the road in unusual numbers.

The tankman had a difficult task to perform—to drive four horses with one hand, to swing his the other, and to keep his feet upon the drivefls stand in front of his tank. The water-level at his elbow he was obliged to neglect entirely, He would have given his winter's wages for a gun, but all sorts of offen sive weapons, as well as intoxicating liquors, were wisely logging-camp., At last, as he saw the wolvés were I'kely to attack the horses despite his light, Henry * abandoned his perilous stand and scrambled to the top of the tank. where, some nine feet from the roadtlevel, he was out of reach. Then he put his lantern between his feet and dem- in the pack ut guess either to nn » shadows. and lantern with which were lunging and crowding upon one another in paroxysms of terror. The wolves were now leaping and strapping at them on both side and in front. Henry caught up a long whip wich projected from its socket above the tank, and swung it wildly. The horses were kept in the roadway only because they could not get out of it. Presently his road descended toward an arm of the lake among a thicket of jack-pines; and here, as the wolves jumped at them more boldly than before, the horses took the bits in their teeth amd became entirely uncontrollable, It was as much as Henry could do te hold his lines and lantern and keep his fooung. : Suddenly, at a critical turn of the track upon an incline, his leaders swung off the log road and the four plung- ed downward over a steep pitch. There was a lurch, and Henry fell backward upon the tank; then a grinding crash, as the runners struck some solid ob- struction at the bottom of the pitch, and the driver and his lantern were projected into the depths of a drift. Wholly unhurt, the tankman pulled himself and his light out of the snow, to find that his horses had broken loose from the tank and were plunging through drift and tamarack brush to- ward the lake. They were out of sight in a mement, and soon he heard their shod hoofs ringing on the wind-swept ice and the sharp, eager velos of pursu- ing wolves. The animals were runing ing and swinging his lantern.
