stitions explained it simply enough by saying he
was "loup garou,'. or were wolf" and resigned
themselves the impossibity of contending against
a creature of such supernatural malignity and
power But their fellows of English speech, having
no such tradition to fall back were mysted and
indignant The ordinary gray or cloudy wolf of
the east they knew, though he was rare south of
Labrador that few of them had ever seen one. They
dismissed them all, indifferently, as varmn.'
But this unaccountable gray ravager bigger
than any two such wolves, ercer and more dauntless
than any ten. Though the pack he led numbered
no more than half dozen, he made it respected and
dreaded through all the wild leagues of the Quah-
Davic To make things worse. this long thanked,
long jawed marauder no less cunning than fierce
When the settlers seeking vengeance for sheep pigs
and cattle slaughtered by his pack went forth to
hunt him with dogs and guns. it seemed that there
was never wolf in the country Nevertheless,
either that night the next, it was long odds
that one or more of those dogs that had been
ofcious in the hunt would disappear. AS for traps
and poisoned meat, they proved equally futile.
They were always visited to be sure by the pack at
some unexpected and Understandable moment; but
treated always with contumelious scorn which was
doubtless all that such clumsy tactics merited.
Meanwhile the ravages went on; and the children
were kept close housed at night; and cool eyed old
woodsmen went armed and viglfant along the lonely
roads The French habitdnt crossed himself, and
the Saxon cursed his uck,-and no one solved the
mystery.
VET, after ALL as Arthur Kane, the young school
master at Burnt Brook Crossroads, began
dimly to surmise the solution quite simple.
lucky gold miner returning from the Klondike had
brought with him not only gold and an appetite, but
also 1ank, mplacable, tameess whelp from the
packs that haunt the sweeps of northern timber.
The whelp had gnawed his way to freedom. He had
found fought threshed, and finally adopted little
pack of his small eastern kin. He had thrven, and
grown to the strength and stature that were his
rightful heritage. And the Gray Master of the
Ouah-Davic,'' Kane had dubbed him. no
''loup garou," outcast human soul incarcerate in
wolf form, but simply great Alaskan timber wolf
But this when all is said, is quite enough A
wolf that can break the back of full grown collie at
one snap of his Jaws and gallop off with the carcass
as if it was chipmunk, is about undesirable a
neighbor in the night woods, any ''loup garou

HUGHES is PRACTICALLY SURE
OF RECONCILIATION AT THE
HANDS OF REPUBLICANS.
(By Associated Press

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 14-The
denomination of Governor Charles
E. Hughes by the Republican state
convention at it's session tomorrow
seemed at a late hour tonight prob
ably the outcome of a battle in
which most of the fighting had been
done by the opposition. Impartial
observers see no means by which the
defeat of the governor can actually
be accomplished and anti-Hughes
leaders themselves begin to admit
that. their cause is probably hopeless.
Authorized dispatches from Oyster
Bay reiterating the opinion of Pres
ident Roosevelt that Hughes should
be renominated added to the bitter
ness of the "allies" opposing Cover
nor Hughes. Secretary of State Root,
who is acting as chairman of the
convention, has been the subject of
appeals to assume the onus of the
situation. Root told the leaders to-
night, however, that he couldn't
think of such a thing. Root was the
central figure in the first session Of
the convention. The convention per-
fected a temporary organization,
heard the speech of Root as temper
ary chairman and adjourned until to-
morrow.

serting his wife and child of that

city when he left with another wo-
man.
On leaving Louisiana, it is said,
Malcus went to Texas, where he
boarded a steamer sor Los Angeles,
which was shipwrecked. News Of his

Federation TO
KEEP NON-PARTISAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-The ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
Grafton of labor after protracted
session today unanimously adopted
the report of the labor representa-
tion committee.
We shall in the future" says the
report, "as we have in the past,
shape our course upon non-parti-
san basis
The attitude of the council toward
President Gompers' position in the
campaign is expressed in the report
as follows:
1--WE desire to refute here the
aspersions cast upon the executive
council practically and of its men,
bers and President Gompers, that it
is not our purpose nor his to dictate
to the working people of our coun-
try how they should cast their votes
in the coming election, nor has any
one promised the vote of the work
ing men to any particular party.
1--WE have strongly, clearly and
emphatically, as it was our duty,
presented the situation in which
workingmen of the country find
themselves, the demands which labor
has made upon both political parties
as to necessary action which they
should take, the treatment they have
received, and have appealed to the
judgment and patriotism of labor
throughout the country, since both
polite al parties have spoken to make
their choice as their conscience may
dictate.
1--WE have so conducted and pro-
pose to so conduct our course that
the labor movement shall remain as
free and independent from political
partisan domination as it has ever
been in its history.

fAvORS
KANSAS scheme

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 14.-W. H.
Taft, the republican presidential
candidate, in letter to Walter r.
stubs, republican candidate for gov
ernar of Kansas, points out that the
Kansas Platforms reference to
boank deposit insurance avoids the
objections urged against the demo-
cratic national platform. Judge
Taft's letter follows:
MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, Sept.
4, | agree with you that the ac-
tion of the republicans of Kansas as
to an enabling act by which banks in
Kansas may voluntarily guarantee
each others deposits is very different
from the proposition in the demo-
cratic platform, enforcing a tax
against all banks, by which they are
in effect to guarantee the reckless
ness and dishonesty of every other
bank. Under the systeA proposed,
for instance in the state of Connecti-
cut, Mr.. Hill has shown that in the
course of four years the banks and
depositors of Connecticut would pay
out 100000 and receive nothing
back, and that $500, 900 would go to
help the depositors in Wall street
banks, which, through the manipula-
tion of stock gamblers, would use all
the deposits for the purpose of pro-
noting wild speculation.
II do not have the statistics, but I
have no doubt the same thing, in
perhaps a less marked degree, would
be true in Kansas. OF course you
could not expect me to express an
opinion on state measure of this
sort, because state legislation is not
involved in the national issues; but
you are certainly at liberty to say,
what 1 sincerely believe. that the
proposition in the Kansas platform
avoids altogether the objection,
which | urged in my speech of ac-
ceptance, to the Democratic propo-
sition for a national enforced insur-
ance of deposits in all banks. The
Kansas proposition comes within the
saving clause, which expressly in
serted. to show that the objection
had to make was not applicable to
such system. Very sincerely yours.

ATTACKS RATES
ON PULLMANS

CHICAGO, Sept. IA general
investigation of the Pullman COM
pany, it's schedule of rates and it's
alleged determinations is to be be-
gun by the Interstate commerce COM
mission in Chicago next Thursday,
according to plans announced today.
The case grows out of complaints
filed with the commission by George
S. Lotus, former railroad man of St.
Paul. He declares that the rates
charged by the Pullman company
can be reduced SO per cent and still
yield large profits. He also main
tains that a smaller charge should be
made for an upper than lower
berth.
Lotus first complained of Pull
man rates between the Twin Cities
and Chicago. The hearing on this
complaint was begun In st. Paul
nearly a year ago. but was adjourned
to be taken up in Chicago. A little
later second complaint was filed by
LOTUS. asking for a general investi-
cation.
Commissioner Lane will probably
hear the case.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 14.-Wil-
liam H. Taft devoted himself today
principally to a political composition.
He wrote an answer to Bryan's COM
ment on President Roosevelt's Taft
letter, after which he spent the lat

tion of two speeches he is to make
tomorrow, the first to a delegation
from Greenfield, Indiana, and the
other to the Methodist negro preach
ers of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. Taft in. his answer to
Bryan says the Democratic candidate
should devote little time to his own
record from which he seems to be
struggling to separate himself with
all the adroitness acquired in twelve
years hunt for an issue on which he
can be elected president That
Bryan processes to be the great
friend Of labor, yet was one of the
chief supporters of the passage of
the Gorman-Wilson bill that made
labor helpless for four years. Fur
ther on in his answer Taft says
Bryan's election may be averted by
Republican success in November, and
subsequent prosperity by the clinch-
ing of Roosevelt policies he may be

without honor.
