Fifty-six years old, six feet two in
his stockings, a dash or iron gray III
his hair, a chest and arms like a Her

the rock ribbed hills Of Pine Ridge
this is Pete Watson, Of Maryland, the
pride of Sioux County. He is the finest
OF horsemen and the most tireless
hunter Of the great Rocky Mountains.
Pete was called out Of bed last Tues
day evening by an importunate re-
porter, who discovered him among the
guests at the Murray, and he rose like
horse shaking the dew from his
name but ready to talk and to laugh.
Like true frontiersman, he sprang
from sleep with every nerve alert.

More or less of a modern habit
is the constant wearing of hats.
Even as late as 1859 Horace Walpole
mentions as a matter of course that
he never wears a hat. Remember, =
he says, writing to q friend notorious
ly careless about his dress, who was
expected home from Holland, every
body that comes from abroad is sup
posed to come from France, and
whatever they wear at their irst re-
appearance Immediately grows the
fashion. Now If, as is very likely.
you should, through inadvertence,
change hats with master Of Dutch
smack, in a weeks time we shall all
be equipped like Dutch shippers.
You see, speak very disinterestedly,
for, as I never wear a hat myself,
it is Indifferent to me what sort of
a hat don't wear. ."-Chicago News.

but just around the frst bend I saw
one last awkward puppy flying to
cover. Down into the mouth of hid
den den he plunged, and I knew the
mother was there with her frightened
young. 1 dismounted, and three of my
dogs lay down in the shade of the
rocks, but I took Fanny, my bravest
staghound, and approached the den.
There lay the bones of twenty calves
gnawed and dented. Hundreds more
lay along the bed Of the gulch. That
den has been a stronghold for a hun
dred years, safe between the toes of
the Rockies.
Fanny gave one look into my eyes
and plunged into the dark hole. I
heard one unearthly yell of rage and
out she came, and close behind her the
wolf, bristles up, desperate, nerved
unto death. But her courage failed
when she saw me, and before the
bound could turn she bolted for the
open. I gave one yell. My three dogs
IN the shade -sprang up, and at last
their eyes were fastened on the prey.
The rocky glen roared and beloved
to- the fierce canine shouting. 1 mount
ed and rode after them. There was a
battle royal on the prairie open. I
shot out Of the gulch. The greyhounds
had overtaken the wolf, and the stag
hounds were almost upon her. Lord,
how my blood boiled. I couldn't let
them fight it out. I had to have a
hand in the game.
II never use a gun. I ierked nv
heavy club from the pommel of the
saddle and sprang in among my dogs.
The wolf was monster larger than
any dog had. Fangs and claws and
eyes were glittering all around me.
Then, in the time when fifty years
weigh on me like feather, I'm like a
savage in those few moments-like
those first men who sprang out of their
caves to battle with the prehistoric
beasts.
"Ah! I can scarcely remember It
afterward. I had her foreleg in my
left hand, my right foot on her neck,
and 'plug!' my club came down. That
was all. carried my prize to the
ranch and there met Ashbrook, Just
