IAN old Cape Cod settler made both

WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
Great British Soldier Somewhat OUT
OF His Element When It Came
to chapIains.

Here is a Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author Of "The Mir
rors of Downing Street" Kitchener
was soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fessiOn. Details outside Of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days Of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
office and asked the appointment Of
UNCONVENTIONAL chaplains for the varts
Gus sects Of the army.
Kitchener had no interest In chap
lains. He regarded them as a negli-
gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yieledd and picked up his pen.
"Very well,2 he said, you shall have
a Presbyterian" Then faint smile
lighted his serious face. ''Let me sea.

Well, after, the failure Of the bic
roundup, the biological survey sent
out Williams: His instructions were
Get the Custer wolf and stay till
you do" That was in March, 1920.
Williams first went into the hills
west Of Pringle and found that the
woS was staying around some old
dens in the Pelgar mountains. So
Williams started operations by lay
ing a string Of traps.
Williams started ont by playing a
mean trick on the Custer wolf. In
stead " relying on the usual tricks
to hide his tracks and oblIterate his
man smell, be scented up the soles Of
his shoes. The wolf followed his trail
that night, clear around the line Of
traps. And then the savage old killer
was so fused up over that scent that
he went straight to the Pelgars,
cleaned oft two old dens end dug
new one that ran back into hill
about 80 feet. One guess as to the
scent Williams used.
The old woif, however, socn got
over being ratified and proceeded to
play hide-and-seek with Williams.
The hunter tried to get a shot at him,
but was baked bT the coyotes. Then
he shot the coyotes. Thereafter the
wolf took few chances. He back
trailed Williams, er took to fallen
timber to hide his trall.a But twice
during May the wolf stepped on the
jaws of traps, and IN July he actually
rolled into one or lay down on 1t. 1t
sprang and pulled cut a lot Of hair.
This scared him 80 that he disap-
peared for a who'll month apparent
ly he left the territory. He came
back in August and announced his re-
turn by killing and mutilating right
and left. In September and again in
October he stepped ON the pan Of
trap. In each case be was caught by
the side of a paw and was able to pull
loose.
The wolf that steps too often in the
trap gets caught at last. And the
Custer wolf stepped once too often.
Here's what happered as Williams
himself very modegtly tells it:
HE stepped into a trap in the
morning and 1t got good grip on him.
He ran with it about $50 yards when
the hook caught on O tree, but that
did not seem to stop him at all. He
broke the swivel of the trap~and ran !
on with 1t on his front foot / trailed
him three miles and got shot at him
and got him. He had been SO lucky
that expected the gun would fail to
shoot, but it worked O. K.
'He is smaller than the average
male wolf, weighed 98 pounds and
justt6 feet from tip to tip;
II inches from toe to hook, and had a
tail ii inches long. His teeth would |
be good for Is years longer. He broke
some Of them off on the trap, but
aside from that they were In good con.
iition. He is an old wolf, with fur
hat is almost white"

The territory terroriZed by the Gus

ter county, with Custer in the upper

and the Pelgar mountains extending

this territory tonight, and th'
next night at the other end Of 1.-THE
Custer wolf was at home.
During these nine years the stock
men paid tribute Of about $4,000 In
live stock. When he killed for food
he picked out the choicest. AT times
he killed wantonly, for the sake OF
killing. Often he mutilated for sport
breaking legs, biting off tails and in
flicting unspeakable injuries on an
imals. Says the Letter:
"He Hoped through every kind Of
danger and spurned them all. He
shifted at the subtlest poison and
passed 1t by. The most adrOitiy con-
cealed trap was as clear to him as a
mirror In the sunshine. Old hunters,
unerring shots, drew the bead on him
and saw him glide away unframed.
The price on his head was $500. Boun-
ty hunters sought him for profit.
Sportsmen put forth every device to
Stay him for regulations sake. And
still the old wolf went unscathed
about his work Of destruction.
'Credulous people said he was a
charmed thing. Others attributed his
immunity to a wisdom greater than
beast ever before possessed. Still 9TH
ers said he escaped BY plain luck
the mysterious thing that adheres to
some animals as to some men.
."All kinds Of stories got abroad.
This thing, they said, was not a wolf
not merely wolf. They believed
that nature had perpetrated a mon
strosity, half wolf and half mountain
lion, possessing the craftiness Of both
and the cruelty of hell. In public
opinion he had all the qualities Of
the werewolf of the Old World
legends"
This may be q bit exaggerated, es-
pecially in the matter Of traps, but
the fact remains that he was an eff
cient bad wolf, so efficient that he es-
capped all perils, even a great round
up which was tried as last resort.
Here are two instances Of his efficient
instinct school," please
note.
-Four years ago his mate was killed
He did not take another, and the cred
llous declared he had devoted him
self to revenge her death. The gray
wolf, however, Is one Of the animals
hat usually mates for life. He evil
IDENTIFY missed her services, for he
soon broke in two coyotes to help
him. They ate after him from his
zills, and never came near him. He
lsed them as bodyguards, pickets and
a.outs. In travelling they ran on his
lanks at from 100 to 200 yards dis
ance.
He developed this strategy when
rallied. He would back trail to a
Joint where he could watch the trail
n from cover. A bear will do this,
Ilso some other animals, but old hunt
RS say they never knew another wolf
