PIONEER DANGERS.

The first settlements in what Is
now the town of Salem, Maine, were
begun in 1915. The dangers were
many, says a son of one of the first
settlers, in "Salem's Old Home Day"
and owing to the number Of wolves,
it was absolutely unsafe for children,
or even grown people, to go far from
their homes.
When Elbridge Blake was small
boy he had narrow escape from a
tragic DEATH He and his brother
Daniel were sent for the cows one
uight, and were told to bring home
some "brown stuff"-dried branches
with them.
Elbridge looked after the brush.
while his brother drove the cows
home. 1t was perhaps half mile
from their home, down toward the
Kingfeld road, all woods. except
small clearings where the cows pas
tured. Elbridge. emerging from the
thicket with his brown stuff" found
himself confronted by pack Of

der tree, and as rapidly as possible
he climbed it, until he felt that it was
bending. He knew that wolves can
not climb; but if the branch which he
was grasping with both hands should
bend low or break, he would be at
their mercy.
His screams and shouts were final
ly heard by Mr.. Briggs, who lived
about a quarter of mile distant.
Mr.. Briggs, recognizing it as the
voice of child, and suspecting the
cause, ran speedily up to Mr.. Blake's.
and breathlessly inquired If all their
children, nine in number, were at
home. The answer was that they
were all there but Elbridge.
Faith, then" said Mr.. Briggs.
"the wolves have got him"
The older members of the family
and a number of workmen who were
employed on the brick walls of new
house rushed to the rescue.
Elbridge heard the noise in the dis
tance of the rescuing party, and took
courage. The wolves" he says, ZAP
peared to look at each other, and to
wonder what turn they had better
take"
The yells of the rescuers had the
desired effect, and at first sight of the
men, the wolves scattered and fed in
, all directions toward the woods

THE MESSAGE ON THE BRIDGE.

THE MESSAGE ON THE BRIDGE.
The word that strasburg was ready

as transferred fl ON that city to
raris by strange cipher, which
though not so rapid as modern tele-
graphic message, was as effective.
Secret negotiations had been going
IN for some time with the magis-
rates of Strasburg, and one day the
French Minister summoned a young
man named De Chamilly, and gave
him the following strange instruc.
tions.

one thing that transpires escape your
notice. Have horses awaiting you;

travel night and day until you reach

bring me your notes.
De Chamilly obeyed; reached Basle
on the day and hour appointed, and
took up his position on the bridge
For time nothing happened. Then

with a basket of herbs followed it,

But what is the good of it,
This, replied Despard; you see
in each novel there are certain situa-
tions. Perhaps on an average tnere
may be forty each. Interesting char
acters also may average ten each.
Thrilling scenes twenty each. Over
whelming catastrophes fifteen each
Now by reading novels sngly the ef'

characters, and 400 situations of ab'

what an advantage there Is in my
plan? BY following this rule | nave
