Judne Champion slaYs Wolf.


Judge Champion is the "Chamnion"
hunter of this neck of the woods.
Yesterday afternoon he was seated
in a "bIind" at the city lake, waiting
for some misguided duck to come his
way when his attention was attracted
by IN unusual noise in the adjacent
thickot Thinking that some stray
dog of the cur variety was making
the poise and desiring to rid the vi
cinity of his presence, he turned the
barrel of his shotgun loose in the
general direction of the noise, and
proceeded to forget about it. He
waited until nearly dark before start
ing home, and was compelled to go
through the thicket mentioned I'm
'agine his surprise when he discovered
a huge gray wolf lying dead, where
he had shot it through the head,
when he thought to frighten away a
dog.
The wolf was brought to the city,
and Eoone Talaferro is mounting it
for the Judge as a trophy,of his acci-
dental skill.
The ducks got away.

The Wind From Maine.

A wind that's from the rocks and sea
and scented by the pine
Sweeps through the sycamores today,
and where sequoias line
The ranks of giant sentinels that guard
the western slopes,
The balsam Of this briny breeze brings
heavy hearts new hopes.
The mountains and the rivers cry the
message that Is Names
To men whose pride was shattered,
and their desperation wanes;
Again their hearts are raised to look
the future In the face
For Maine has been the clarion that's
heartening a race.
Twas shame that sunk the souls OF US
to depths we never knew
In days our flag was honored IN the
harbors where 1t flew,
When nations paid us homage, for
they knew our hands were white,
Ere blood of our own countrymen had
stained them like a blight.
And now again our songs we sing OF
deeds that we must do
TO make the dream that passed away
come marvelously true;
For the sturdy souls that breathe the
pine have brought to life again
The faith that fills nations heart
that feels the wind from Maine.

ously they were not disposed to curry
favor with him now, and not to attack
him. AS for himself, possessed only
of such ammunition as remained in
his single cartridge clip he assumed
such an attitude as he fancied would
best display him as conqueror--al-
though in truth he felt himself far
from such.
They led him through the village to
place where he was offered food and
water-both now imperatively craved
by his starved body.
Unable to understand what was de-
sired Of him, and Indifferent as to the
meaning Of the colloquy going on
about him, for some time his interest
In life and its affairs was so lax that
he paid no attention to anything that
was happening. At length, however.
he noticed something which caused
him to take a sudden and eager inter-
est in his Surroundings.
Two men came running, evidently
from a distant part of the island and
evidently bearers of news of some i'm.
portance, as could be proved by the re.
ception given their hurried story. But
what was that story?
There Is certain virtue in neces-
sity itself. There Is certain common
denominator in human emotions.
There Is perhaps certain unrecog.
nized common denominator In human
expression of human emotion-some
r~'"n~ea| language, whether of word
or gesture, or of the unspoken tele-
pathic quality Of the mind itself. Count
Frederick understood not one word
of this language which he heard, yet
lie knew-.-because he must know
something Of the subject which these
persons were discussing.
The men had come far-one could
tell that, their looks proved 1t. They
had seen something strange, some.
thing extraordinary had happened,
some event of interest or importance
had occurred, else they would not have
come so fast and SO far. This was
easy enough to reason out.
What was that event? What could
happen out of the ordinary on this
desert island, unless 1t were some
thing coming from beyond the narrow
hnrt1np nf that tc1onI-uau
wreck, or the landing on these shores
Of some survivor such as he himself
had been?
That would explain these hurried
messengers. But if that were true,
who or what was the survivor or ad
venturer discovered in distant part
of this same land? Was 1t a man or
men, was 1t woman or women?
What was the meaning of these ex.
cited calculations, these gestures,
these contortions?
Guessing, rather than knowing
Count Frederick fancied that these
men were telling about woman who
like himself had been cast up by the
waves.

trained in logic and analysis. infinitely

brutes about him, served to force It.

CHAPTER LxV.
The Unknown Countries.


What now Of those to whom Count
Sachio had so lightly given carte
blanche to oblivion? Certainly there
was left behind them no trace or clue
which could give hint of the ex-
traordinary circumstances now en-
meshing them. They might all OF
them, Kitty, Count Frederick, Roleau,
as well have been dead indeed and
sunk at sea, so far as any hint of their
fate was concerned They had van
ished from the earth. The ship that
bore them had vanished from the wa

1t was a strange and unreal coun-
try which faced Count Frederick whom
he found solid land under foot once
more. He turned to life and it's hap

Frederick did not note that the
faithful Roleau had become separated

whllo meantime Frederick was accom-
panied by a party Of nstyes up TIE
hsnch and into the village which
served as headquarters for that por-
ton of the island. Here he was
brought before the chief From the
look Of him and his SUBJECTS, Count
Frederick fancied himself to be on
an island somewhere OFF the African
coast.
Whether these people were friends
or foes he could not tell at first, for
he understood neither their language
nor their gesticulations, but 1t oc

might be 1t would not be amiss for
him TO impress them with feeling

of such weapons. He drew from his
pocket the pistol which he had car.

object at which to aim.
