Now that the excitement was over. he

Railroader had made the people look on his
young opponent as a cheap trickster. The
very class Give was working to rescue
from boss misrule would brand him as o

Yes, he was beaten. How could a man
hope by clean methods to stand against
such powers as Caleb Conover possessed
and did not scruple to use? The fight had
been hard. And now it was over. He had
done his best. No one could have done
more. And he had failed.
The reaction from the violent physical and
mental strain of the riot was upon STAN

Ways of the Wolf.


The wolf can go eight days without food
and can then eat forty. pounds of meat at
a sitting, the Indians say. This is pretty
fair for animal weighing only eighty
pounds. Yet we do not know the length OF
the sitting.
The wolf will not venture on glare Ice:
he never crosses lake until there is enough
snow to hide the ice. To wetting his feet
he is as averse the domestic cat. He
will not kill his game in the shelter of the
forest, always driving it into some open
place for the kill.
When cha sing a deer he goes at leis-
urely lope, sitting down at intervals to give
the most dolorous and blood-curdling bowls.
This drives the poor victim into a wild gall
lop and soon eXhaustS Ii, and as the wolf
never tires he is sure, sooner or later, to
catch up with the quarry.
In winter the deer often makes for some
wild rapid into which 1t plunges, knowing
that the wolf will not follow. Too often
the deer browns, but better such death
than one by the fangs.
In summer a couple of wolves will secure
all the deer they need by very simple tao
tics. Having put up the quarry, one wolf
drives 1t by easy stages to some little lake
I speak now of the Laurentian country
and on reaching the shore the deer plunges
unhesitatingly in, for its instinct tells IL the
enemy will not dare to follow.
So. on it swims, while the pursuer sits on
his launches and howls dismally, no doubt
because he sees his dinner escaping. At
length the tired deer drags itself wearily
from the water, and shakes the drops from
it's coat on the sun-warmed strand. Then
the companion wolf, which has waylaid its
coming springs at its throat, and when the
first wolf joins him they have a gorge that
makes them independent of fate for whole
week.

dinner for one of those brief intervals of
family Intercourse which Caleb secretly
loved, his wife as secretly dreaded and
Gerald openly loathed. The Railroader, at
heart, was an intensely home-loving man.
He had never known a home Least of all
since moving into the Mausoleum. He had
always, in increasingly laundering fashion,
sought to make one.
The wife he bullied, the son he hectored,
the daughter with whom he had forever
quarreled the secretary who met his friend
illness with unbroken reserve: all these he
had tried to enroll assistants in his
various home-making plans. The results
had not been SO successful as to warrant
description.
Finally Conover had centered his former
efforts one daily plan. He had read
in the advice column of the Star about the
joys of pleasant evening hour in the bosom
of ones family" and the directions there
for. The idea appealed to him. He or
dained accordingly that after the unfash-
ionably early evening meal the household
should congregate in the library, and there

The latter also hurled missiles, scattering
