4 WOLF IN THE DOORYARD.

To attack savage and hungry wolf ln the open with no weapon but a slender stick of dry wood is a feat comparatively few men would care to undertake, even in defense of fel- low creature. A wolf which recently strayed into Blllerica, Mass, found s young woman there who had no preju- dice against personal encounter with him, and who risked her own life in struggle to save her dog.
 Billerica lies along the Shawsheen and Concord Rivers, about eighteen miles northwest of Boston. The valley of the Shawsheen Is quite heavily wooded in irregular tracts. Two wolves escaped from a menagerie in Lexing- ton, near the river, in October, and finding shelter in these woods began search for support in the henroosts and pastures of neighboring farmers. One was soon shot by a man whom 1t had attacked in his dooryard. The other remained at large, and created excitement in all the neighboring towns.
 Billerica Center Is so far from the Shawsheen woods that few persons believed the wolf would appear there. No thought of the brute occurred to the members of the King household, on the edge of the village, but one Saturday evening there was commo- ton in their hen-yard. Some one or anr1afhipo ariInnflU IisfnrhinO the fowls, and Carlo. guardian of the house, rushed cut to discipline the in- truder.
 Carlo Is a tiny Scotch terrier. both cred by masses of long hair which fill his eyes and impede his steps. But he Is not lacking in courage. Wolves were new to him, hut when he found one trying to break through the fence of the hen-yard he attacked him bravely, and snapped at his heels. The wolf, disappointed in the hens, evil dently concluded that Carlo would do as well. It whirled, grabbed him by the neck and started for the road.
 Miss Cora King is a school teacher, young and determined. Carlo is her especial pet. She came out of the was frightening the hens, and saw the wolf running away with her dog. That was no time for hesitation or for hunt ing men-folk. Miss King picked up a stick and threw 1t at the wolf, which whirled about and faced her. Then she picked up another stick, the first she could reach, and rushed at the animal. The wolf waited for her till she was almost upon him, then turned and ran. carrying the dog. Miss King pursued, and soon came so near that the wolf dropped the dog in the road and made of at top speed. He could face men, but school teacher with a stick was too much for him.
 Then, the strain being over, the eter- nal feminine prevailed. Miss King sat down in the road beside her mutilated dog, and wept copiously and loudly from grief and nervousness. There the members of her family found her a few minutes later, and beside her Carlo, inert and apparently lifeless. But the little dogs hair had helped te save his life, and he soon came 10. wagged his tall. and began to bark exactly where he had left off
 It was a clear moonlight night The wolf was hunted till after midnight. when 1t escaped into the river woods to be shot at daybreak by young farmer, whom 1t attacked as he was driving through.
