into the forest hejjan. From short
hauls and heavy timber the movement
was toward lony hauls and smaller
timber. Each year the attack widened
us well as lengthened its battle line
against the pines.
Two yiimiij boys from I.u Crosse coun
ty in lS.Y.t pushed up the river to "tUi

old M'v;hieo uiouutuin planted their

They w.-ro sturdy voting fellows, ol

tiill, youii1 fellow, w ith, a, broad, Hat,
but powerful, chest, very erect aud
ai'tive.
Miller, his companion, was a short
man, inclined to be, fat when food and
l.;ep were plenty. He was forevei
grumbling-, and yet w as a great joker,
lie assumed preat airs at times, and
t ld how well ho lived at home. This

gmmbb-'d about Holland's cooking
more and more.
"I don't want to say anything against
your eoc kin", Hunk. It's good, what
there is of it, but I'd' like to liavo the
tioyn turn up with Mrs. Holland and
some prub."
"Von don't want to see her any
wors than I do, old man."'
i "Of course not."
' "You ought to stand it if I can," Hol
land concluded.
Miller turned his slap-jack over twice
"before he out it and began eating,
i "Seem1; to me these tilings git leath-
rer'n' leatheror every da)', I muy be
mistaken."
lie worked his jaws meditatively on
the problem.
! "All in y'r eye; they're right up to
high-water mark. You're a little off
y'r feed. I guess hampers down or
something."
, In secret Holland was a little bit
worried about, his partner. Ho
'changed tho subject. "I heard a rifle
today, .Jack! 01? to tho north."
. "Doe. Adams, I gnesii."
"No; t lie Doe. wouldn't be up here
ro soon as that. It's some other
party."
Miller took littlo interest in this, but
worked away stubbornly on his slup
'jaeks. Suddenly his jaws stiffened
jand his eyes distended.
"Hank, look third"
I Holland turned to the window, und
aw the huge furry head, alert ears and
pointed muzzle of a beur, wistfully
(looking in.
i "Thy rifle," hn whispered.
i Miller raised his hand to feel for the
rifle oh the wall behind him, but the
,'beur vanished so silently und swiftly
lit was hard to think there hud been a
bear there at all.
As Miller leaped for the rifle Holland
fl-jng the door open, und a broad path
of light sirenmed out toward the for
est, nt.d in the midst, of it wus a hugo
grounded shadow, shambling swiftly
away.
, "Quickl There ho goes, fire!"
: Miller pulled up and tired at tho
vanishing shadow. Anil, like the echo
of the shot, came another report from
Ihe edge of tho eleuring und a cry
from a man beyond the circle of light.
'"Ygorry, we've got 'im. llring a
!l -.intern."
Miller dashed in for the lantern
while Holland waited for the voice to
!mihody itself.
"I wish I had ol' Zip here, we'd have
that feller shore's nigs," continued the
voice, now getting near tho house.

on him the stranger appeared a mid-dle-utfed
man, very tall, with a rutffred
beurd. lie hud a long and well-kept
rifle in his hands.
"Did you tire, too?" asked Holland.
"1 didn't dust t' fire when ho was
lookin' in the winder uu' when he got
dow n I couldn't see 'im till you opened
tho door. Hut we got 'im."
Miller appeared with the luutern
und they all went out to the spot
where tho bear was last seen, but he
was gone. There was blood on the
ground, but not enough to trail him by.
"He's hit, but he's sufe enough. If I
hud Zip, we'd tree him In fifteen min
utes, but we might just as well give
him up without a dog," suid the old
man uftev u pause.
"All rijrlit," suid Holland. "We was
just eating supper. Come in an take a
snack.''
''Don't care if I do," laughed the
hunter.
"1 didn't know y'wus here till t'day,"
he suid as he sat down ut the table,
".lest made a camp m'self up here a
couple o' miles und saw y'r smoke t'duyj
I thought I'd come down uud make y' a
neigh burly cull." He laughed again
till his mouth gaped wide uud his little
twinkling eyes disappeared.
'(Had you did. Jack, ship In a couple
o' dubs' o' that pancake mortar this
fellow seems to appreciate my cook
in'." "lty the way," put in Miller, as he
set a couple of huge cakes sizzling,
'what's your name when you're at
home? Mine is Miller."
''Mine's Tom 'Welsh, otherwise MobI
ee Tom.''
"I've heard of you," said Holland.
"As I was sayln', thinks I'll jest drop
in on 'em. So I built a fire an' I says
to Zip: 'Xow Zip, ol' boy, you better
hug that fire ptirty close 'r the wolves
'11 pinch y' 'an' come dow n."
"tilud y' did," suid Miller. "I'm feel
ing kind o' lonesome these duys."
'Lonesome!" the old fellow laughed.
"W'y, young man I tramp from here to
Lake Superior an' never see a human
bein' from one month's end to another,
aud I don't know what lonesome
means. (), of course, when it's handy
I like to drop In this way an' have 6
i little confab but thut ain't gittin'
lonesome.'"
"0. it ain't, eh?" said Miller, Ironical
ly. "Well that's the way I feel when I
, get lonesome. How's that f'r a mouth-
ful'."'' he said, as he slid a huge cake in
to the stranger's plate.
' 'Lout my size," cackled the old fel
low, und he out it into quarters and
rolled it up like a quilt. In fact he
kept Miller turning cakes till he cried
out: "Look here, you must be holler
elean to vour boot heels."
Supper being over, they drew round
lue ore anu uirqieu yueir yiyes, anu
TIIERF.:'
the old hunter told stories of the woods.
He knew the woods as the Indians
do. Ho could map the whole land In
the ashes of the hearth and he general
ized shrewdly about tho wild life.
"A good many yarns about bears an'
wolves un' painters and links (pan
thers and lynxes) is all bosh. Lears an'
links are mostly jest as glad t' git out
o' your way as you are to git out their
way. They don't turn on a man unless
their young uns are with 'em, or you
corner 'em, or when they're mighty
hungry. Most any critter '11 fight in a
trap, but in a free space it's naeherl f'r
em t' run off the minute they see a
man. .Same way with painters in day
light, or night either. They jest puck-a-cheo
when they see yeh."
"Ever had a tussle with 'em?"
"0 yes, but I've never had 'em turn
on me except when I began tho fuss.
Then they'll fight f'r dear life jest like
a roan will."
"How about wolves?" asked Miller,
with a significant look at Uolland.who
had wolf stories to sparo.
The old man's faco grew grim and he
drew several whiffs from his pipe be
fore he answered:
! "Wolves are different; they're vicious,
no two ways about that. They wean
'fight-"
"Especially when a lot of 'em git to
gether." i Tho old man went on:
"Wolves alnt cowardly, as some
folks sav- They've got sense and
judgment. They know how to size tip
the other fellow so'st not t' tackle a
crowd they can't whip. They're all
fired smart, wolves is. They don't
walk into any trapi, but they'll eat a
feller up quicker'n llphtnin' when the
chance is good. They don't walk into
a trap aud they don't bluster they
mean biz."
He sat with his pipe in his mouth, his
hands over his knees and his eyes fixed
on the fire. His voice began to take on
a reminiscent tone.
The sound of the wind in tho pines
outside stirred through the silence
with a somber note, and Holland
stirred up the fire in the vast fireplace
till it roared louder than the wind.
The hunter resumed after knocking
the ashes out of his pipe and putting it
away.
"I've been chawed by hears, and
clawed by wildcats and catamounts)
I'vo had a buck deer trampln' me into
the ground; but I never had a wolf's
tooth into mn yet. When I do, I'm
gone. They don't make no mistakes.
When they take hold it's after takln'
all the chances and calo'latin' t' win.
Now, a liear '11 git blind crazy with a
bullet, an' go 1n where he is sure to get
used up; so '11 a painter 'r a wildcat;
but your wolf, he knows better: he
don't go into no such business; he jests
limps oil in the woods and swears
vengeance.'' , .
Holland here related a story of a
siege by wolves through which he had
been. Long Tom listened with an oc
casional corroborative nod.
"That's jest it; they're shr.rks.
Seems if they can smell a sick or
wounded man ten miles. I used to live
down V Portland when I was a boy,
an' I know what a shark is. A shark
is a wolf in tho water. A wolf is a
shark in the woods."
A curious look came on his face, and
after a silence he said:
' "If they ever set tooth In old Tom,
he'll know his time has come to go."
"I should think you'd keep out of
their way If you're afraid of them,"
said Holland, cautiously.
The old man straightened up. His
face darkened with anger.
"Say, d' y' mean that?"
Holland saw his mistake.
"Set down. Set downl I didn't
mean anything. Still you speak as if
you kind o' dreaded them," he added.
"Wall, I do," the huuter confessed.
"But I ain't afred of 'em. I know 'era.
Know jest how to take 'era. I build a
fire in front of my littlo bhed, put a
rillo handy und Zip at my feet und
sleep sound'sa baby in a cradle. If tho
fire gits low Zip growls und wakes me
up aud I throw on more wood,
"Lut some way I feel as if they'd git
me yit. I'll make a mistake some day
and then they'll pile on top of me an'
that'll be tho end of me. A pile of
bones gnawed white. Jest such a pile
as I'vo come across myself many u time
iu the woods." Spending his days
alono in tho somber shadows of the
forest, he hud grown superstitious like
the sailors. Signs und omens filled up
half his life. He traveled by signs and
built his little open shed according to
the moon aud stars. The sound of the
wind was In tie sad droop of his voice.
"They killed my brother," ho said,
finally; "un' they'll git me."
He rose slowly. "Wal, I guess I'll
pull out."
"0, don't be in a hurry."
"01 Ztp'll git uneasy."
"Letter stay all night."
"0, no; couldn't think of it 'tall.
Wolves would clean out my whole
camp before daylight. Hurk!" He
lifted his hand. "They're on the rain
puge now. They always are before a
storm." Afar off, blrnt with tho rising
snarl of tho winds in the pines they
could hear tho clamor of wolves hur
rying after some flying deer. The old
man grasped his rifle.
"I'll get back to my dog."
"Hadn't one of ns better go out with
you?"
"No, I'm all right; I'm worryin'
bout Zip."
Holland went with him to the clear
ing and said:
"Come r-nd see us; our door is always
open. Crood-by. Good luck."
"Good luck," replied tho old man, as
he blended into the dense shadow of
the forest.
Holland turned his face upward to
the gray skies and felt fine flakes of
snow beginning to sift down through
the massive tops of the trees. Wolves
were astir in the deeps of tho wood,
and a wildcat across the river was
growling as he scrambled up or down
the cliff.
He shuddered and looked back as he
entered the warm-lighted shanty.
( "I don't want his quarters to-night."
' "Uy jingo, I should say not," said
Miller.
Holland awoke in the midst of a
dream of a man sinking in the snow,
and crying help! For a few moments
he could not tell where his dream left
off and his waking began. All was
dark in the room save the uneasy
flicker of the dying firelight on the
walls of the cabin. The wind was
stronger without, steady and cold.
He sat up in bed to convince himself
that he was in his cabin, and felt for
Miller to reassure himself that he was
not alone. He was about falling off
asleep again when faint and far off,
mingled with tho sound of the storm
outside, came the clamor of distant
wolves and a long drawn cry:
"Help, he-e 1-p!"
He sprang to his feet and stood ir
resolute in tho middle of the floor, not
sure of his senses yet. Ho leaned to
listen. It canie louder. The clamor of
yelping wolves drew nearer, and now
unmistakably tho wild cry of a man.
"Help! help! For God's sake open
the door!"
Holland flung up the bar. The noise
of beating feet was heard. He swung
tho door open, and with tho speed of a
desperate deer Long Torn shot across
the clearing into the cabin, fulling in a
heap on tho floor, while not a rod be
hind, their red tongues lapping, their
eyes shining with greenish phosphor

wolves, tearing along in pursuit, and
so savage and determined their hunger,

their faces, theytfwould have plunged
through the open door upon tho ex
hausted hunter.
The old man rase from the floor in
sane with wrath.
"Give me your rifle," lie snorted,
when he could got his breath. "Let me
get a chance at them." .
He had stayed away too long. The
fire had burned down, and the waiting
Wolves had sprung upon the faithful

When the hunter arrived. At the sound,
of his rifle they scattered, but almost
instantly turned upon him and he fled.
He1, loaded and fired once more, and
tlwn backed away, holding them at bay
with his clubbed rifle. Ia this way he
baoked all the way down the rivet
bank, facing the snarliug'puck. As ho
neared the cabin he flung away his
rifle and ran only his marvelous speed

He would not go to sleep, but sat
around over tho fire until morning.
He ate break fust in tho same gloomy
silence, and theu he rose.
"Wul I'll be goin'."
"Letter bring y'r things down and
stay with us."
"No, I guess not. If I find my rifle
I'll be all rlght-if I only-"
He was in a softer mood now and he
couldn't speak of his dog.
Holland went with him to help him
find his rifle. This he did without long
search.
"Well, now, oome in any time. Our
latch string is always out Come back
to dlpner, anyway."
"Thankee I guess I'll have to go
down to Ginny to git some uinrayni

"Good luck," he answered; but his
face was sorrowful to see.
They never saw him again. They
heard of him in Ginny. He bought a
new outfit and struck oil Into the for

A SINGULAR PHENOMENON.
Queer Sounds laiulng from Underground
on the Shore of the Bed Hea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Bed sea at a place
called Nakous, where the intermittent
underground sounds have been heard
for an unknown number of centuries.
It is situated at about half a mile's dis
tance from the shore, whence a long
reach of sand ascends rapidly to a
height of almost three hundred feet.
This reach is eighty feet wide and re
sembles an amphitheater, being railed
in by low rocks. Tho sounds coming
up from the ground at this place occur
at intervals of about an hour. They
at first resemble a low murmur, but
before long there is heard a loud
knocking, somewhat like tho strokes
of a bell, and which, at the end of five
minuted, become so strong as to agitate
the sand. The explanation of this
curious phenomenon given by the
Arab3 is that there is a convent under
the ground, and these are the sounds
of the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. Bo they call it Nakous,
which 'neans a bell. The Arabs affirm
that the noise so frightens their camels
when they hear it as to render them
furious. Scientists attribute the sounds
to suppressed volcanic action prob
ably to the bubbling of gas or vapors
underground. .
