pathos and no one can look long on
Mr. Rockefeller without feeling these
qualities. The impression he makes
on one who sees him for the first time
is overwhelming. Brought face to
face with Mr.. Rockefeller unexpected
ly, and not knowing him, the writer's
immediate thought was. This Is the
oldest man in the world--a living
mummy" But there is no sense Of
feebleness with the sense Of age; in
deed there Is one Of terrific power.
The disease which in the last three or
four years has swept Mr.. Rockefeller
head bare of hair, stripped away even
eyelashes and eyebrows. has revealed
all the strength Of his great head. Mr..
Rockefeller Is big man, not over tall
but large with powerful shoulders and
a neck like that Of bull. His head
is wide and deep and disproportionate-
ly high. with curious bumps made
more conspicuous by the tightly
drawn, dry, naked skin. The interest
Of the big face lies in the eyes and
mouth. Eyes more useful for a man
Of Mr.. Rockefeller's practices could
hardly be conceived. They are small
and intent and steady. and they are as
expressionless rs wall. They see ev-
erything and reveal nothing 1t is not a
shifty eye-not cruel or leering one
1t is something vastly more to he
feared-a blank eye, looking through
and through things, and telling moth
ing Of what they found on the way.
But II the eyes say nothing the
mouth tells much. Its former mas.
the full mustache Mr.. Rockefeller has
always worn, is now completely gone.
Indeed the greatest loss Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter sustained when his hair went was
that it revealed his mouth. 1t is only
slit-the lips are quite lost. as If
by eternal grinding together Of the
teeth-teeth set on something he would
have. 1t is at once the cruelest fea-
ture Of his face-thls mouth-thc
cruelest and the most pathetic, for the
hard, close-set line slants downward at
the corners, giving a look of age and
sadness. The downward droop Is enl-
phasized by deep vertical burrows run

miles long. The first of the villages
to go will be Cross River, where New
York has begun the erection Of an I'M
mense dam to cost $3,O0O,OOO, one OF
the busiest manufacturing centers of
Westchester County. 1t has a popula-
ton Of 500, with postoffice, three
churches, two schools, cemetery and
half dozen stores and shops.
The place was founded in revolution
airy times and was famous generations
ago for its paper manufactures. The
people will be paid for their property
at market value" but this will hard
ly compensate them for the loss of
their homes and the breaking up of
their associations.
About 700 persons in the three con
demned towns will lose their homes
and business, and most of them will
be compelled to go out in the world
In the case of the old people the cir
cumstances are pathetic and many sad
scenes are expected when the time ar
rives for them to bid farewell to the
homes and neighbors they have known
since childhood.

A WOLF IN THE DOORYARO.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To attack savage and hungry wolf
IL the open with no weapon but
| slender stick of dry wood is a feat
| comparativcl:., few men would care to
undertake, even in defense Of a fell
low creature. A wolf which recently
| strayed into Billerica, Mass, found Il
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 Shawshccn
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 Il 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 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 a cOmmo-
ton in their hen-yard. Some one or
something was evidently disturbing
the fowls, and Carlo. guardian Of the
house, rushed out 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 MIN, 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. evi.
IDENTIFY concluded that Carlo would do
| as WELL 1t whirled. grabbed him by
the neck and started for the road.
Miss Cora King Is school teacher,
young and determined. Carlo is her
house close behind him to see what
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 it at the wolf. which
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
off at top speed. He could face men,
but school teacher with 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
from grief and nervousness. There the
members Of her family found her a
few minutes later. and beside her
Carlo, inert and apparently llfeless.
But the little dogs hair had helped tc
save his life. and he soon came to,
wagged his tail, and began to bark
exactly where he had left off
1t was a clear moonlight night The
wolf was hunted till after midnight.
when it escaped into the river woods
to be shot at daybreak by a young
farmer, whom it attacked as he was
driving through.
