The British Wolf.

Britain has been infested with wolves
from that remote period conventionally
termed 1.-The earliest times" Their fos-
silized remains are frequently discov-
cred, their bones lie about the untidy
floors of prehistoric caves, the barrow
folk made necklaces of their teeth.
They are mentioned in Welsh and Sax
on laws. The Norman, however fond
of the tail deer" was not affectionate
toward the wolf, for in many feudal
tenures, down to the year 1439, appears
an obligation to hunt him.
An entry in the account rolls of Whit
by abbey Quoted by Mr.. Harting) re-
cords payment for dressing wolf
skins in the year 1394-possibly the
latest strictly historical evidence as to
the English wolf. Mr.. Harting men
tions tradition that one Barnes in the
time of Henry VII was nicknamed
"Roast Wolf because he destroyed so
many of these animals, which infested
Durham and Yorkshire, according to
another legend, during the reign of
Elizabeth.
In Scotland, owing to it's physical
character, they existed until a much
later period. So recently as 1877 an
act of the Scottish parliament ordained
a wolf hunt in each barony four times
year. Sir Even Cameron slew the
last wolf in Lochaber in 16SO-Specta-

Soon we saw the lights of the little

With beating hearts we drew up be-

But as the organ pealed out again
we heard a great disturbance at the

yet only for Il moment, and then, with
the cleverncss that turns defeat to vic

Hun! l see I'm ten minutes too
late, and 1 supposed l had the fastest

So we won, and we fooled back to

himself with saying: "At least this is
the first elopement that has been made

Mildred.

"No, Tom, we never can sell it," Mil

Now, Mildred said this, 1 am sure,

In its line. 1t is giant wall of rock
connecting two immense cliffs, rising
some 1000 feet above the valley below,
in the middle of which there is an
opening about $50 by 80 feet in width.
The approach to this opening on either
side is almost impossible and can only
be accomplished by strained physical
exercise Of the most pronounced char
acter, The country on the far side Of
the bridge has never been traversed,
and there is, in fact, but one way Of
reaching the elevation. Qnee under the
bridge Of rock there Is steep decline,

narrow crevice in the rock has to be
traversed. Only an ordinary person
can squeeze through the place. The

Smoked Himself to Death.

A most fantastic story is that Of the
strange and slow suicide of the Baron
Bella Olnyi at Pest in the year 1915.
The baron was supposed to be very
wealthy. He had wife and six chill
dren. He lost his money in speculation,
but this was not known. He went to
Paris and insured his life for 100000
gulden each in five companies. He
returned to Pest, and his habits be-
gan to change. He absented himself
from home for long periods every day.
From the picture of health he began to
droop and pine away. In ten months
he died OF what the doctors called gal
Looping consumption. The insurance
companies were suspicious, and their
detectives unearthed q most wonderful
plot.
This nobleman was discovered to
have hired small room in remote
and mean portion of the city 1t was
broken into and found to be furnished
with a comfortable sofa, table, two
chairs and two chests. In one of these
were found comfortable dressing
gown, pair of loose Turkish trousers,
a fez and dozen long pipes. In the
other were found about 200 strong Ha-
vana cigars and half pound of COM
mon smoking tobacco. From the wrap
pers found in the bottom of the chest
1t would appear that in less than eight
months the nobleman had smoked
about $500 cigars and about 100
pounds of tobacco, having deliberately
poisoned himself with nicotine.

But the horses had vanished. No lon
ger need ones sympathies stir at the
abused cab horse, no longer cry out at
the overladen truck. We passed an art
dealers window, where was displayed
great canvas with the inscription,
"Fifth Avenue In 1S99." There l saw
in one fieeting glimpse the street had
known-the old parade under the old
conditions. A curious crowd was lin
ed in front of the window making the
same comments that one in 1899 might
have made of a picture Of Broadway
In the gone day of numbering stages.
Yes, that drive was very curious to
me then. I'll confess l had not become
quite accustomed to the many changes.
