BESET BY WOLVES.
The heavy fall of snow in the north
of Spain has driven troops of wolves
nto the plains and they have been
attacking the farmers’ flocks. The
peasants have been obliged to or-
ganize battues for the destruction of
the animals. A villager, traveling on
foot in the Pyrenees, was attacked by
a band of wolves and fled into a
church for safety, but the brutes fol-
lowed him in and devoured him.
A beggar woman, finding herself
obliged to cross a stream, carried her
four-year-old child across and then
returned to get a sack that contained
bread. While she was on the other
side a famished wolf appeared and
calmly devoured the child before the
eyes of the mother, who stood rooted
to the ground with horror,

When he gave it to her he intended
to say. ‘Dearest, here is a ring I
have bought to adorn your {air hand.
May the circle be a symbol of my un-
dying affection for you.” Vhat he
did say was: “"H-hero's a ring I
