young wolf appeared. 1t had doubtless
smelt the tender flesh and without cere.
mony it sprang toward the sleeping child.
But the famished creature had counted
without the lesson given to little Jacques,
who had taken it very seriously and had
thought it over many times. Without
hesitating an instant, he threw himself be-
fore the wolf, which turned furiously
against him and, closing his fist, the
brave boy thrust it into the mouth of the
animal The wolf struggled, but Jacques,
pressing his other hand upon his neck,
pushed it to the angle of the wall, where
he held it tightly squeezed, with his fist
crammed down its throat, until the beast
rolled suffocated upon the flags. His ex-
citement and the effort that he was obliged
to make had exhausted the little vanquish-
er and he fell fainting beside the van
pushed. When the parents returned
imagine their surprise and terror at seeing
the wolf and the child couched side by
side When Jacques came to himself,
his first words were, My little sister
