The village was near the mouth of a stream which had its source in the Lockwood Hills, north of the arctic circle, It was a severe winter. Besides the cold, the natives also to contend with famine 8 on which they relied principa food, had abundant the preceding summer usual, and when the season had been foreseen that the stock of dried fish would be exhausted long before spr The utmost exertion on the part of the hunters had failed to make up for the deficiency; and caribou had apparently migrated, and the bears, had disappeared 3y end of January little community was face face actual starva tion Akowma's mother had a dwelling farther up the hoyukuk the hope that he might be to spare a little food for is stary ing relatives rescived to apply to him for help Accordingly.

The redpolisa and chicka. ferred to spare them. were such tiny morsels that it was hardly worth while to pluck them. Nipsu had been gone two days when the fresh tracks of a wolf near a lake northeast of the settlement, and not far from the path to their kinsman's cabin. As the footprints were appar- ently those of a single animal, Akow- ma hoped that his brother might meet and kill it “Wolf meat is better than no meat, mother,” he said. But she, fearing it might be a fore runner of a numerous pack, was alarmed by the news. “‘When the bears go the wolves come," said she, repeating a tribal proverb. “Il pray that Nipsu may not see them.” As his brother was expected to re. turn the next day, Akowma, who had promised to join him on the trail hunted in that direction throughout the forenoon. The weather, which had previously been intensely cold, was moderating, presaging a storm. A dozen or more birds of various species were tied to the rawhide cord supporting his quiver when, after midday, he entered a wide, treeless level of frozen meadow. There, in early summer, rain and melted snow formed a large lake, on which ducks and geese and other waterfowl! con- gregated in myriads, A network of the curious vinelike tracks of the ptari indicated that a covey of these bi were feeding on the succulent seeds of aquatic grasses, the feathery tops of which appeared in patches above the snow. Presently tranquilly a few feet away, evidently trusting to its white plumage for con- | cealment, Having secured it, he continued his { search, and soon finished a second, | whereupon the rest of the covey took wing, but alighted after a brief flight, { The boy followed eagerly, keeping up the chase until five more had been ! added to his string. | He heard at intervals the report of { a distant gun, and he conjectured that { another hunter had also found game. | The pursuit of the ptarmigan had enticed hom far from the way. Snow had been falling intermittently for { some time, and daylight | rapidly when he struck line toward the trail. Beyond the meadow the trall led over a steep, wooded ridge to a similar natural clearing, many acres in ex tent, There for it skirted the base hillside, irregular, rock, out on a bhee- of a precipitous vertical wall of | weather-worn overlooking the clearing. Just in front of the precipice, and single tall spruce, so close that its branches almost brushed the rock One of its exposed roots protruded across the trall, making a mound over which the natives, when sledging, drove with care to avoid a spill The twilight was fast deepening into dusk as Akowma descended the ridge He was abreast of solitary tree when a musket-shot close at hand, fol outcry as of an him he the lowed by a prolonged animal in palin, standstill A moment which he to a heard ught ater a loud halloo, in his brother's “Nipsu claimed, nouting Hi thick forest when a wolf in front of him has soyfu as he was within ¢ bordering leaped int His fi that it must be the « had jeg Nipsu he fit and let fly dim light, the shaft it hesitation to h bow Despite the was With in i side wolf WOU Witho ted an arrow the brute true aim King owing Scarcely had the arrow left the bow fore Akowma heard his brother call- to him Gah! growth, but Ld ai protectio but he fleetly down trail a it, with trace his steps been covered the wolves, not have escaped AS wad the racing from cover of the snow m enough to bear could the foremost of the broke pack ¢ # woods as he § he foot of the ip off his snowshoes Knowing that if he left them lying in the snow the wolves would speedily and gnaw the frames to 3 nters, he hooked the toes of the snow-shoes, to gether with his bow, over the a broken 1 srasping a up In doing so his head struck the heels of the suspended snow-gshoes, dislodg { ing the bow.

Although neither | could see the other, they were able {| by shouting to converse intelligibly. Nipsu, it seemed, had successfully | performed his errand, asd he was bound homeward in high spirits when he had discovered the wolves closing in behind him. He had taken refuge | in a tree near the trail, and had re tained his load of provisions, as well as his musket, but he had lost his snow-gshoes, of which the wolves’ sharp teeth had made short work. He stated also that seven of the brutes were still watching him. He had killed three, and might have in. creased his score if his supply of ammunition had not given out. Foreseeing that Akowma’'s prolonged absence from the settlement would cause his friends to organize a search. ing party, the boys confidently . pected rescue not later than the ne day. Fur parkies (hooded coats) en: abled them to defy cold, and as for kinsman's bounty, contained an abundance of food, while Akowma had his string of ptarmigan and other birds, They feared only a fall, which might result should drowsiness overpower them. To prevent accident of this kind Nipsu had already lashed him self to his perch by means of his helt and a piece of packetrap, and he ad. vised his brother to do likewise. With arm outstretched, Akowma could almost touch with his fingertips the face of the precipice beside him. if the wolves, of whose cunning he had heard much, should take ft ® . into thelr heads to procesd to the top of the hill, and by leaping down into the spruce come to close quarters with him? It was true that a long detour through the woods would first be necessary, but, desperate with hunger, as they were, he believed that neither the ‘detour nor the fear of falling with their victim would restrain them. Clinging by its roots to the frozen soil on the brink of the .rocky wall, a white birch drooped until its bushy branches mingled with the spruce i boughs a few feet above his head AS, {in sudden dismay, he glanced up | through the falling snow-flakes, the { sight of its gnarled and twisted trunk suggested to him that if he could but | elude the vigilance of his besiegers, it { would be possible for him to make his | way over the birch to the verge of the rock Then he settiement, arouse return with them to relieve Nipsu | Reailzing that delay increased the likelihood of an attack from above, he | straightway prepared to carry out this plan.

The most interesting of side of Cecil Rhodes was his love of books and his extraordinary pdwers of assimilating them. He could, like John Richard Green, suck the heart out of a book {in a very short time, but, unlike the { author of the “Shorter History,” he | was incapable of reproducing in writ ing what he had read The shortest letter was a trouble to him, and, indeed, he seldom, if ever, could be induced to write one. It must be said, however, that this extreme reticence on paper was not due merely to a dislike for writing or to a feeling of incapacity, but to a caution which grew more and more marked. He was averse from com. mitting anything to the compromis ing evidence of black and white. His literary studies did not take him into the region of intellectual subtleties, but were all connected with living facts. History, ancient and modern, was particularly congenial to him, and he devoured anything which would tell him of new countries or new peoples, Killed a High-Living Wolf. ‘The biggest wolf story of the sea. son comes from Billings county, N.
