wolves kept on bowling. The boys
had taken plenty OF provisions, hul-
lets and guns. Yet they had
brought seme traps along TO catch
things for sport. They had also
brought along fishing tackle TOR
each.
When morning came the wolves
went back to their dens, The boys
thought that the first day they
would set some traps and would
hunt.
The next morning Harry went to
look at the traps. Frank told him
to take his rifle and revolver along
SO that jffhe had something large
he could fire his revolver twice and
they would come.
They had seven traps set. The
farthest one was about One-half
mile from camp.
When Harry reached the first
trap it did not have anything in 1t.
None OF them had anything in till
he came to the fifth one. This had
one Of the wolves in. Harry was
going to shoot the revolver when he
saw that the wolf was in so that he
could not get out for good while.
So Harry started to tease the wolf.
Suddenly it gave long, loud howl.
1t was answered by about ten VOL
yes. They were a good ways off,
but Harry knew that wolves could
60 pretty fast when they heard a
howl like that, so he jerked out his
revolver and shot twice. In about
five minutes Fred and Frank came
running up. They were all out of
breath Harry told them to get
their rifles and revolvers ready to
shoot with. Before long the wolves
came running up. when they saw
the boys they started to turn
around and run back but the leader
gave low growl and they didn't
run away. Fred told the other boys
to get their guns working.
He told them that wien their riff
les were empty to use their revol-
vers and they did. When their re-
volvers were empty there was not
a living wolf around there except
the one in the trap.
The boys killed the wolf in the
trap and took 1t home to skin.
They did not have anything in
their traps for the next few days,
but they hunted some.
The second day after they had
been there Frank thought that he
would go for a swim. As it was
very hot the other boys thought
they would 60 in, too. AS they
were about to come out of the wa
ter Fred saw funnel-shaped cloud
coming toward them. The boys
thought 1t would be more safe in
it's path, so they stayed there. The
house was in its path and as 1t
came on it tore the house to pieces.
But it left the floor standing with
some of the things on it. AS the
cyclone passed over the boys 1t
dropped one of the boards from the
house onto Harry, hitting him in
the head. He went under the sur
face of the water but Frank and
Fred swan over to where he was,
They Owed down and brought him
up. They then took him to the
bank and restored him to consci
BUSINESS.
For the next few days Harry's
head was sore but that did not mat
ter.
After Harry had been restored
the boys set to work to build q
sort of house to live In until they
could have some men to build an.
other house. The boys used sons
of the pieces that had been torn
from the house.
The boys did not have any more
excitement until they we're about
half way home The train they
were on was thrown off the track
and Fred broke his leg and the
other boys were bruised up. After
about a week was UP Fred was able
to be around with a crutch, but
they reached home in time to start
to school at the beginning of the
term, and all that winter those
boys were the heroes Of their class.
