THE WOLF.

LIE WILT.
The wolf l will endeavor to de-
scribe is the timber wolf.
The timber wolf is about the size
of an ordinary sheep dog and would
resemble, more closely, the sheep
dog If it had longer and bushier
hair.
1t stands about two feet in height
and four feet in length, sharp
pointed nose, long pointed ears,
long, bushy tail and wiry and slen-
der frame. 1t is Of deep gray color,
having darker streak running
along the back from nose to tip of
tail.
This wolf inhabits the northern
woods of America and is found in
many parts of Europe and Asia, liv-
ing in caves, dugouts, hollow logs
and various other places.
1t is of a sneaking and cowardly
nature, will not attack man or
larger animals unless in packs and
then only when driven to despera-
ton by hunger.
When wolves attack a larger ami
NAL, for instance, the moose, they
chase it, torturing it by nipping and
biting at it's legs, until one. larger
and holder than the rest, springs
upon it, bearing it to the ground.
The moose is then torn to pieces
and devoured.
Is it possible for the wolf to be-
come attached to man, when it is
reared and accustomed to the wild,
free life of the woods and in that
cowardly and sneaking manner?

Bijoe was large wolf and leader
of little band of six. The band
lived in the rocky cliffs of New

ten minutes before Hardy heard tap

thing has gone on long enough" Vasili
was speaking Russian now. "Only last
spring Christian young man was
found dead. murdered. and the police
could not find out who did 1t. They
laid 1t on the Jews. Who else could
have done 1t? Would Christian
murder Christian? Impossible!
Such things must stop. We are going
to tear down the Jewish houses and
the Jewish store. II we do not find
the child, we will kill every Jew in
Stryetensk. We will tear their chill
dren to pieces!"
With this, Vasili rushed from the
room. Hardy gazed for some mo-
ments at the closed door through
which his clerk had Just disappeared.
This is getting serious" he NUT
tered at last, rising. ut may even
result in serious consequences to the
store"
Up to this moment he had not been
able to realize that human beings,
many of whom could read and write,
could be capable of such fanaticism,
or that credence In the medieval SUI
perstltion of child-sacrifice could still
exist. The thought that he was alone
here in the midst of this irresponsible
population gave him uneasiness as to
his own safety. He wondered how
generally the report was circulated
that he himself was a Jew, and the
suspicion crept through his mind that
perhaps Vasili was responsible for it.
Could 1t be possible that the Russian
cherished ambitions Of being made
manager? Hardy looked at his pistol
and determined. II 1t became neces-
sary. to defend himself. But as for

the Koreans were a bright race, natur-
ally, but never before had he received
personal evidence of the fact. He now
concluded that they compared favor
ably in this respect with the preco-
cious Japanese.
In less than half an hour the boy
was back. The housekeeper brought
him to the door of Hardy's living
room and admitted him. He had the
girlish cast of features that had made
1t so difficult for Hardy to distinguish
between the Korean boys and girls in
Vladivostok. His hair was drawn up
into tight knot on top of his head,
and his face, save for livid scar
across his right cheek and temple,
was positively beautiful.
"Well?" said Hardy.
1.-THE worst is happening" said the
boy, quietly. 1.-The wolves are bowling
and have already smelled blood. They
are maddened by the scent of it. They
are demolishing the Jewish houses,
are stealing their valuables and burn
ing their furniture. A number of the
Jews are barricaded in the Jewish
store, and great crowd is collected
in front, bowling for blood. Mordecai
and his mother have disappeared"

must go Immediately to the police"
1T will do no good" said the boy,
1.-The chief of the police has left town
and the police themselves are assist
ing in the work of destruction. Your
own life, unless you use great dis
erection, will be in danger. 1t is
rumored that you are friend and as
sociate of Jews, perhaps Jew your
self. l tore this from wall"
He laid on table a poster bearing
a crude wood-cut of the Saviour's
head, wearing the crown of thorns.
Beneath were the words:
Death to those who murdered our
Lord"
Hardy arose and paced the floor, his
hands in his pockets. From time to
time he stopped and listened, but all
was silence without.
Had you not better fly while you

ladder, but was stopped by Wang,
who glided up to him.
Il have an idea," said the boy Are
there no priests robes in the store?"
Hardy gazed at him for moment,
and then sudden comprehension
seized him.
Good" he cried. good"
Springing to counter he jerked
down long priests robe and tall hat.
Mordecai was crouching between
bales of cloth. From these Hardy
dragged him forth

clustered together in one quarter,
while the house in which Baruch dwelt
with his aged mother was at some dis
lance from these. Perhaps it would
be possible to reach Mordecai before
the Christians got there and warn him.
If necessary, he would offer the Jew
the shelter of the store. He seized
his hat and went out into the dimly-
lighted street. He had gone only a
short distance when a boy stopped
him with OBTAINING hand. Hardy
looked down and his eyes fell on a
Korean youth. He knew instantly that
it was a Korean from the costume:
Baggy trousers, loose blouse and hat
of bamboo frame covered with hair
cloth.

had not raised it more than two feet
when Mordecai glided through be-
meath it and slammed it down again.
He was chattering with fright. Even
by that dim light Hardy could see
that the Jews face was the color of
veal and that his eyes were dilated
with horror.
Save me! Save mel" he pleaded,
hoarsely, as he fumbled at the big key
with trembling fingers, vainly trying
to lock the door
"Hark." he whispered, "the Chris
tians are after me- Do you not hear
them bowling like wolves? They will

And, indeed, at that moment the
sound of savage voices could be heard,
louder and louder as they came near
