seemed to be about dozen wolves
outside.
Dapple and her calf were inside the

closed tnat evening to keep the other

corner that ran up TO within a yard

regretted that he had not taken the
time 10 dig it away that afternoon,

Darkness came on while the meal

then sheered off. and ran, yapping
and leaping, along the side of the
shed.
Then the calf bawled in fear, and
its mother drew back inside the gate.
on the instant the wolves returned.
and she dashed out to meet them. A
wiry old she wolf sprang directly
upon her head. Dapple thrust her
down and drove one sharp horn
through her chest. inficting mortal
wound. But the limp body held her
nose TO the ground, and she charged
fairly outside OF the gate, when two
more wolves leaped upon her shoul-
ders. She was borne down till Tom
could see nothing but snarl OF
struggling animals.
Then with a mighty effort she
broke the horn short off in the she
VOLTS carcass, and with the same i'm
pulse freed herself of the others. But
she was bleeding from dozen
wounds and sadly crippled by the
loss of the horn. The pack was upon
her again in an instant. and but for
prompt aid. she must have perished.
Tom was now reused and clear
headed. He sprang forward and fired
among the wolves, the muzzle of the
weapon being held so close TO them
that the flash actually scorched their
hair. Three times the rife rang out.
and then the survivors ran away and
skwlked in the farther end Of the en-
closure, where they could hardly be
seen in the darkness.
Dapple was so aroused that she was
almost inclined to fight her rescuer,
but finally hurried to the side Of her
calf. The little creature, frightened
by the smell of blood, kept as far
from her as possible. Tom closed
the gate, reflled the magazine of his
rifle, and walked to where the lantern
was hanging.
