A TENDERFOOT
ON.
WOLF RANCH.

Out in the country where the south
western mountains throw their shad-
ows on the plains you may hear this
story Of Wolf Ranch.
Wolf Ranch was the property Of
dad" Perkins, first name long since
passed out of everybody's memory save
possibly that of Dad himself Perkins
had charming daughter, Phoebe, who
lived with him and kept the ranch
house sweet and orderly. Phoebe was
pretty, and the boys of all the country
round knew it, if she didn't
A young man came out of the East
and took up quarters at Dad Perkins
ranch. He was big and handsome, and
when he wasn't shooting in the noun
tains he was talking to Phoebe Perkins
of books and poetry and all sort OF
things, which made the girl believe he
was of a different mold than the ranch
men.
The New Yorker gave up hunting af-
ter while and stayed about the ranch,
and the hours that he was not with
Phoebe were not many. The New York
er talked to the ranch girl of the de-
lights of city life and of the pleasures
that awaited her there if she would
but go with him. The New Yorker
wasn't an honest man.
There was a sheep herder named
George Wilson on Dad Perkins ranch.
The herder had loved Phoebe in his
own way for a year. He knew that
the girl was not for him any more
than the stars that looked down at him
when he kept his sheepfold vigil.
George Wilson had eyes in his head.
He had seen more than any one else
of the attentions that the New Yorker
was paying Phoebe.
Wilson alternated with another herd
er in the matter Of his nights on duty
with the f1ocks When not on guard
he stayed at the ranchhouse. The
New Yorker and Phoebe sometimes sat
under the wide reaching roof of the
porch after the mountains had shut
out the sun and the shadows filled the
valley. One night they sat there and
spoke in low tones. The girl said q
must not go"
Then there followed some words OF
pleading.
There was a movement back Of them.
The New Yorker drew apart from the
girl and turned George Wilson was
standing just back of him. He looked
at the New Yorker and said
"You asked me the other day while
we we're hunting why this place is
called Wolf Ranch | expect to leave
here tomorrow to take a place on an
other ranch many miles away, and to-
night I will tell you why this is called
Wolf Ranch.
1T has been so known only for two
wears. There were not many wolves in
this section; in fact, there had been
none for years, until one came-a big
gray. hungry fellow, who fattened
nightly on the fold Our dogs were OF
no service. The wolf was too smart
for them. He had hunger for lambs,
and he was shrewd enough to find
way to get his meal He tried poison
and spring guns, but we could do
nothing with that wolf He knew his
wolfish business. and knew it well
from the VOLTS standpoint
81 said our dogs were no good. There
was something about that wolf that
made them fear. I had a dog at the
home of my father miles away The
men said: This is no wolf; it's
devil. Your dog will be no better than
the rest

Getting the Proof.

When the plate is finished it has
upon it all the matter which is to APP
pear on the printed page, but the
characters are sunk instead Of being
raised as would be the case in ordi-
nary printing. Then the plate is well
covered with ink and wiped off in
such a way that the ink is left only
in the depressions BY putting the
plate in a proof-press and applying
sufficient pressure the printing is
transposed to the paper tbs gives

the proofreaders. and where any mis-
take is found the plate is sent back
70 the engraver for correction. Much
music used to be printed-and still is
in Europe direct from the engraved
metal plate, and in what is now the
proof-rress In this case the press
was worked by hand for each repro
duction needed. as it is now in get
ting the proof Music printed in this
way shows somewhat soiled and
darkened page, because some little ink
stays on the surface of the plate after
wiping, and it can also be told by
reason of the indentation made in the
paper by the edges of the plate un-

Stones Used More Than once.

When the edition of any piece of
music has been run off, the stones
from which it has been printed can
not be used again until the etching
has been removed This is accom-
plished by grinding or planning off the
surface to a depth which varies from
sixty-fourth to a thirty second of an
inch. The stone, which is originally
some four inches thick, is thus used
again and again until 1t has been
worked down to a thickness Of two
