A wolf would never attempt to traverse in
daylight the thirty miles of farm land which
lay between him and the Adirondacks' forest.
II the hunter was right in his surmise as

to form some plan of attack
On the east side of the swamp two wood

Tor their fences, led from the open into the

one of these two roads.
For wolf," he explained, "aint ike a
fox or rabbit, to scuttle along close to the
ground; he's built higher, and don't want
his face slapped by dead cedar branches any
more than we want our'n.''
Joe proposed l should hurry around the
swamp, and station myself in one of the
wood.roads; he would wait ten minutes be-

road before the game was started.

As l was feeling in my pocket to know if

One OF Joe's dogs was small mongrel

red squirrel to a panther. With this dog, he
proposed to make circuit about the Fenton
sheep pasture.
If our suspicious were correct, the hound
would be, sure to find the VOLTS track Once
found, there would be little danger of losing
it.
Joe's fayorite weapon was a long, old-fash-

the villagers knew the hunter was bent en-

He charged the muslet with a handful of

A stone wall, with ditch parallel to it,
stretched away from one end of the sheep

sniffed about, whimpering excitedly.

in the village small flock OF
Southdowns, owned by Squire Fenton, had
been slaughtered during the night: In rev
days they were to have been driven to the
county seat, there to be exhibitd at the an
nual fair.
Every inhabitant of Alden took an interest
in the beautiful creatures, and was sure they
would have been awarded the premium. ;
The squire was naturally much incensed,
and offered reward of fifty. dollars to the
one who should trace and kill the dogs that
had wrought such devastation.
1t was known there had been trouble be-
tween the squire and Joe Kinney, hunter,
who lived on the outskirts of the village.
The winter before, Joe had been tried and
imprisoned for the illegal killing of deer, and
at that time he had vowed to get even with
Mr. Fenton, who made the complaint against
him.
Joe owned several savage dogs, and it was
thought be might know something about the
killing of the, sheep.

of the slaughtered animals. Seven sheep had
been killed, the throat of each one being torn.
Lying with the sheep was the squire's collie

These Indians Are Honest.

World Today: Many curious in
stances in the name in which the
honesty of the Indian m%anifests it
self are cited in the North country
of the Canadian Northwest.
One of the tales is of a native
who, desiring food and tobacco and
blankets, broke into ethe store of a
remote trading post which had. been
locked and abandoned for a few
weeks, while the white man in
charge transacted business else
where. The Indian supplied his
needs, but left pelts in payment for
what he took, and months later he
came back to ascertain if he had left
enough. II
One, Indian found a post closed
when he went to dispose of his
skins. Being unwilling to wait, he
forcibly entered and left his pack
but nothing with it to indicate his
identity. Then he retired, fastening
the door as best he could. and not
until a year later did he return. F."
Then he walked into the post and
told his story and the price of the
skins was handed over to him with
out question. The accounts of the
white man had been carefully kept,
and he was certain that no claim
but a just n would be made.
An unusual degree of confidence
is reposed in the h%alfbreeds who are
l%ieutenants of the white traders. In
Edmonton saw a trader give one of
his h%alf-breed employees $3.50 to
be taken a distant post and there dis
|tributed as wages to others.
The two shook hands and parted,
not to. meet for a year, and the white
man said he was sure not a cent of
the money would fail to reach it's
rightful destination.
In the town of Edmonton itself
honesty seems to vie with hospital
lily, for the credit of being the most
prominent trait of the citizens.
Scores of thousands of dollars worth
of furs r stored there in ware
houses which are seldom or never
locked or guarded. 81: I

AID TINE GRADUATES
Offers tn Write oratior,
for Graduates and save It,,An
Humiliation.

A stoey eeni.s from Aberdeen that
an eastern syndicate has gone into
the business OF writing o%tationa for
graduates OF high schools. and that
the president OF Tho graduating class
OF Aberdeen's high school received
one of these communications. and
this is what the correspondent snys
about the new industry:
Professor Il. l.. Kirk. of the Aher-
deem high school has put an eflectual
quietus on the operations of II syndi-
cate operating from Washington, ID.
c.. so far as Aberdeen Is concerned.
This syndicate expresses itself as be-
ing solicitous OF the welfare of grad
yates and says. in a circular letter,
that It's desire is to spare the young
men the shame and humiliation" of
reading poor essays or other papers
on commencement day, and offers to
write an essay. for a consideration.
a few days ago a letter, addressed
to the president of the senior class of
the high school, was given to Pro
fessor Kirk, superintendent of the
school. 1t came from the syndicate
and Kirk, regarding 1t as an attempt
to plant the seed of corruption in his
institution, at once took steps to
block the game. He enlisted the aid
Of a prominent business man, who,
assuming the role of a student, ans
wered the letter. The s%yndicate's
reply came yesterday. 1t states that
it has a corps of special writer's and
is fully equipped to handle any and
all subjects. A range of about
twelve subjects is offered, an essay
on either of which will be written to
suit local conditions for the mod
est sum of $40. Among the subjects
are Work." Theodore Roosevelt"
Individuality" political Duty"
The Japanese Soldier" and indie

stalwart form of the high school SUI
perintendent to shake with indig-
nation is the subtle irony of the sub
jects, work. which somebody else
would be furnishing; Individual
ity" with another person giving it,
and "Indecision," an apparent truth
in this case. Accompanying a reply
to the syndicate, mailed yesterday, is
a bit of advice from Kirk to suspend
operation in this city in the future.
