MOcKlNG THE. VOLTS HOWL.

Their Retreat by n Bogus Noise.
Lew WHmot. who lives almost any
where in the state of Washington, is a
westerner of the old type. He tells
about fooling wolves by initiating theiE-
cries.
''One Sunday morning." he writes,
while we were mining on the Clear
water. along about the lst of May.,I
took my PexelSeE~ aa&l-.Ile4at over to the.
cabin Of my par tners and proposed that
we go to the hills and kill some grouse
While going up the hill we saw~a yet
big VOLTS fresh track in the trail we
were climbing. The trail forked, one
branching: up the river. the other turr-
ing back into the hills. We stopped
wondering what a wolf could be doing
in that part of the country at that TIME
Of the Year. Suddenly the beast began
to howl, and shivers crawled along my
back--they always do when I hear a,
wolf howl. When the sound died away
I Knocked it, and was answered with
quick rigor. Again I answered it. I
told the boys if we would wait the beast
would come. but they laughed at me-.
and we went on after grouse. The wolf
howled back to our left after we got
to hunting. and was plainly looking
for its mate We went to;a small mound,
sat down and howled in low voice,
because l feared it would notice the
deception. 1t did not answer. but pret-
ty quick come trotting through: the
small brush. / :.-.r-,.' +
"As it ran along on a fallen. rotten
pine tree I shot it with my revolver and
over it went. We ran ZIP and found It
badly wounded, and. wo!flike, sulking-
It's skin made pretty good rug.
'".Awhile after that. l. was going from
Mount Oregon one morning on q cayuse,.
when a big wolf came into the traia
and kept on before me, turning totfe
left after awhile where 4 had to 90 to
the right Invent on a way, got off my
animal and howled to see what would
happen. An answer came back quick
and long. and. though Il knew was
