DEVICE TO SCARE WOLVES.
Automatic Gun Recently Invented
Tina. VIII Protect sheep from
Natural Enemies,

Examiners in the patent Office have
learned by experience that it is a
mistake to jump at conclusions re-
garding the usefulness of inventions
coutrivance at which they were in
clincd to poke a good deal of fun, de
signed to brighten wolves on western
prairies, was patented less than three
months ago, and already it has come
into considerable use in the sheep
growing districts in that part of the
country, says the Presbyterian Ban
ner.
The device is an automatic gun
which goes off at regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
tiocks. II consists of a sort of box
which contains a clockwork attach
ment. with a small steel barrel pro-
iecting from one end. a magazine,
also with the box, is loaded with
blank cartridges, which are fired by
the clOckwork once in ten minutes or
so. BY the help Of a simple machan-
zeal attachment the intervals be.
tween the discharges are made a.
long or as short as may be desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to hc IN
operation only from sunset to sun
rise. 1t is the period Of lamhng that
the focks are in danger, the fierce
wolves raiding them and carrying off
the lambkins, and hence the apparat.
us described is intended to be em-
ployed exclusively during that sea-
son, It may be that the wolf, which
is decidedly intelligent animal. may
learn the deception after awhile and
realize that the automatic gun has
not man behind it. In Russia it has
been found that wolves are afraid of
the humming of telegraph wires,

childhood What's changed Chris so?
Maybe she's got an mixing of this
fool thing and wants to give me a
hint-well, man can cut his throat
but once
Chris sat down.

quite suddenly, in as surprised a tone
as though the snow had not been
falling steadily for four and twenty
hours.
Yes, it is drilling just a ittle,''
replied WORTH thoughtfully
He remembered that it had rained
the day before. At the same time he
carefully removed a bit of snow from
his trousers.
Chris smiled and began boldly:
well, have you found out to whom
I'm engaged?"
Eyes" said Worth. looking hard at
her. land have you discovered the IN
happy girl who is to share my fu-
ture ?'
Yes" returned Chris. Two dim
pies began to play in her cheeks and
her eyes sparkled.
Worth looked at her and groaned.
changing the groan hastily into a
cough. He thrust his hands into his
pockets and said solemnly:
Chris, I've followed this thing up
until / find the man is no other thar

over this town that you are engaged

because it is not true. If it were =
Worth went on, desperately, Il should
feel like a godfather to the whole
town"
The dimples began to deepen in
Chris cheeks. Mischief lurked in her
eyes.
"As the result of my search" She
began, red hair resolved itself into
a golden brown and the name Sever
has successfully become Lever, Lover.
and lastly just plain, Love, with the
first name Chris"
Then for the first time Worth
looked up with a CLEAN of intelii-
gence in his eyes. An intelligence
which necessitated an hours consul

Rad decided that it was not their

WINTER BELLS.
When Winter wrapg the world in white.

When Winter wraps the world in white.
And silent lie the snowy dells
'Tis sweet 20 hear amid the night
The cadence of the fairy bells;
They seem to set the winds astir
wish eerie music soft and low,
And gently shake the modest fir
Clad in its garb of spotless snow.
They tinkle meath the watchful stars,
Whose beams upon the whiteness fall,
And as they near the meadow bars
What recollections they recall!
The trysting tree which Summer knows
And clothes in hues of living green,
Stands out against the sky and throws
Its lordly shadow DER the scene.
o Winter bells that tell of mlrth
Thy music fills the heart with JOY
And makes a paradise of earth
A lovers year without alloy;
Across the fields there seems to come
The music which of pleasure tells,
And every hearth and every home
Rejoices at the winter bells
! hear them echo where the snow
Lies softly on the frozen ground,
And where DEFENDERS winds are low
l list to catch their merry sound;
A maiden al the lattice waits,
For swiftly through the moonlit dells,
Toward her hearts wide-open gates,
A lover rides behind the bells.

Worth was talking fast merely to
conceal his delighted agitatiou over the
discovery of Chris freedom He did
not y tice that she was so agiia;ed her
self as to preclude notice of aay az tia
ton on his part.
"And who,~ chimed in Chris. "does
Mr.. Truax expect will pay my millinery
bills? If hats continae to be loaded
with plumes, the man will be glad of an
escape"
Chris was conscious that this was an
inane joke. Worth knew it, too. But
they laughed excitedly in chorus.
"All Truax knew of your fance was
that he is not a native of this town.
Name was not familiar to him"
"And all that Miss Maltby was pre-
pared to say, beyond the fact that you
were soon to be married, was that the
lady of your choice is red-headed," IN
consciously raising her hand to adjus,
stray lock of her own soft brown
| hair.

claimed Worth, in sudden inspiration.
Lets confound the gossipers and ge;
to the root of matters"
ITS a bargain, agreed Chris. ''Well
follow the trail and report tomorrow
night"
The next evening the two met with
undated zeal although they had no
additional information to offer.
IT'S more difficult than I thought"
reported Worth. "Truax sent me chas-
,ng after two or three men who are ut
ter strangers to me. and who gave me
more information than / was after
for troubling them. But at last I've

The discovery oi his body. how ever. Is almost conclusive evidence that he was overcome by cold. the ther- mometer being nearly sixty below and sank down to his death on the chccrlcSS ice of the Yukon.
 Inspector Wroughton. who left for the up-riyer a week ago and who held an inquest on the body of Dr. Bettin- ger at Stewart. is now at Selwyn and will conduct an inquest on Blacks re mains. probably today. after which. as was the case with Bettinger, the bodt will be buried without being brought to Dawson.
