BY VIM. J. LONG
When the SHOWS were deep and
soft the wolves took to hunting the
lynxes-big, savage, long-clawed
fighters that swarm in the interior
Of Newfoundland and play havoc
with the small game. For single
lynx the wolves hunted in pairs,
trailing the big prowler stealthily
and rushing upon him from behind
with fierce uproar to startle the
wits out of his stupid head and send
him off headlong, as cats go, before
he knew what was after him.
Away he would go in mighty jumps,
sinking shoulder deep, often indeed
up to his tufted ears, at every
plunge. After him raced the wolves,
running lightly and taking advan-
tage Of the holes he had made In
the soft snow, till swift snap in
his flank brought Upweekis up
with ferocious snarl to tear in
pieces his pursuers.
Then began as savage a bit OF
fighting as the woods ever witness,
teeth against talons, wolf cunning
against cat ferocity. Crouched in
the snow, splitting and snarling, his
teeth barred and round eyes blazing
and long claws aching to close in a
death grip, Upweekis waited impa-
tient as fury for the rush. He is
an ugly fighter; but he must al
ways get close. gripping his enemy
with teeth and fore claws while the
hind claws get in their deadly work,
kicking downward in powerful
spasmodic blows and ripping
everything before them. A dog
would rush in now and be torn to
pieces; but not so the wolves.
Dancing lightly about the big lynx,
they would watch their chance to
leap and snap, sometimes avoiding
the blow of the swift paw with its
terrible claws, and sometimes
catching it on their heavy names !;
but always long red mark showed
on the 'ynx's silver fur as the
wolves teeth clicked with the voice
of steel trap and they leaped
aside without serious injury. AS
the big cat grew blind in his fury
they would seize their chance like
flash and leap together; one pair
OF long Jaws would close hard on
the spine behind the tufted ears;
another pair would grip hind leg,
while the wolves sprang apart and
braced to hold. Then the fight was
all over, and the moose birds. in
pairs, came fitting in silently to
see If there were not few uncon-
sidered trif'es Of the feast for them
