There is far too much negligence

OF learning that the debtor ls away

He urged his horses to q faster gait,
but as the road is up a heavy grade,
PROGRESS was slow at best
Biggs had only gone a short dis
tance farther when he motto ID twenty
five or Thirty of the animals emerge
from the brush into the roadway just
behind him. On the front OF his
conveyance was a lantern with q re-
Hector. MI. Blgge seized this and
turned the strong light upon the
wolves. It frightened>t them and they
slunk back into the shadows OF the
woods. But they soon became bold
or and commenced closing In upon
tkeir prey.
MI. Biggs realized that he was In q
desperate plight. 10 the sleigh was
a tin pail with hay and taking 1t to
the rear of the conveyance he applied
a match. The flames cowed the ami
mails. The fire was kept burning
brightly, and at the sams time the
team was dashed and urged onward.
The wolves we're kept 10 chfck for
a time, but they gradually came
closer and closer, advancing along the
sides Of the sleigh. The supply OF
hay was giving out. MI. Bisgs IN
DESPERATION tore open a box Ct canned
goods, and commenced hurting cans at
them with some effect, checking their
progress for the third time.
Just as he was about to give up the
struggle a small clearing was entered.
The wolves dropped behind and the
man hurried the jaded horses into
one of the old mine buildings, and,
closing tho doors az securely as pos
