GOOD INVESTMENT
BY JESSIE Z. shERWiN.

copper coin in a. clay pipe. this brief
exordium Of human fatefulness would
never have been written.
Pennies had been scarce with John
ny of late. and dimes with his father
and mother. Were it not for Aunt
Marcia they would not have had a
roof over their heads. Then Mrs Glib
son was incapacitated through severe
illness lasting nearly year. and Mr..
Gibson lost his position and averaged
less than two days work in week.
Aunt Marcia, who gave music lessons.
opened her house to them. There
were pressing debts. To meet them
Aunt Marcia had been compelled to
place a mortgage on her little prop
srty. and this was the tormenting fact
that nearly broke Mr.. Gibsons heart.
She was a very young aunt-only
twenty-four. and fair as flower. Prac
teal life had made her somewhat seri
GUS. but she was kindness personified.
She was lovable, cheering. optimistic.
She laughed at the dark fears of her
anxious brother-in-law as to the fu-
ture. She doubled her labors as mu-
sic teacher.
Why. brother" she would say hope
fully. all l may do for you dear peo-
pie l consider splendid investment
Think how 1t will all come back to ME
in heap. when your luck turns and
you get to making money again."
Thus stood affairs upon the event
full morning when Johnny Gibson
mounted the old horse block in
front Of the house. basin of soap
suds at hand, and began blowing bub-
bles.
A man of about forty, well dressed
and suggesting the invalid and using
. cane, came down the street. He
watched the fast ascending air bal
looms like one of the idle rich on a
careless stroll. Then his eye became
fixed on the youthful bubble blower.
Johnny had Just let loose balloon
OF tremendous size.
"Glory!" be g!oated-pop! the filmy
thing Of nothingness exploded. Crash!
the man watching him made a mis-
step across broken sidewalk plank.
stumbled headlong. landing against
An old tree stump. and lay there, pros
trate.
Johnny gave great gasp. The pipe
fell from his hands and shattered to
fragments as he noticed a great red
streak across the temple of the in
sensible man. He ran into the house,
screaming with fright.
His mother was away. but Mr.. Glib
son and Aunt Marcia CHANGED to be
home. They made out enough OF his
incoherent story to comprehend that
somebody was hurt and hurried out to
the sidewalk.
Il fear this is pretty serious" re-
marked Mr.. Gibson. after vain efforts
to revive the victim of the accident.
II We could get him into the
house, suggested Marcia. I'VE might
dispose of him more comfortably than
here on the bare hard ground"
They lifted him between them.
There was q spare bedroom in the
little one story wing. Marcia, ever
useful and eager to do good. secured

the blood from the pale lifeless face
and placed q wet towel over the
abrased forehead.

communities and vast stretches of

which can not at the present time be

TIMBER WOLVES
KILLING STOCK IN
NORTHERN ELKO.
PACK OF SEVEN OREGON
TIMBER WOLVES HAVE BEEN
SEEN ON RANCHO GRANoE
BY SEVERAL PERSONS.
NO. 81

The fact that timber wolves are
committing many depredations among
the fiocks. OF ranchers in the north
ern part of the county was made
known in this city yesterday when
Archie Clayton and Chalmers McCor-
mick, manager of the Morgan Hill
ranches related a story of seeing a
pack of seven large Oregon timber
wolves on the Rancho Grande this
week. According to the eye witnesses
the wolves are travelling in a pack and
are followed by about a dozen coyotes.
1t is known positively that the wolves
have killed several large calves in the
past few months and the coyotes fol-
low the pack to eat the residue left
by the larger animals. What is sup
posed to be the same pack was seen
on several occasions last fall and
winter by several persons in that vi
cinlty. About four months ago they
made raids on fiocks belonging to- diff
ferent ranchers in the same neighbor-
hood and seem to confine their depre-
dations to the one place.
The news seems strange to people
of this state at one glance as such an
imals are seldom seen in Nevada. The
thory is that they drifted this far
south from either Idaho or Oregon in
search Of food and as the winter has
been unusually mild in Nevada they
found this state the best feeding
grounds. A concerted action will
probably take place by ranchers of the
northern part of the county to hunt
them down and exterminate the pack.
