The grey wolf of North America is. . not often an enemy that man has any great'reason to fear. When .he is es- pecially hungry, which is‘chiefiy in the winter season, he will band to- gether and hunt anything. But when I tramped through Green’s , Timber it was not winter time, and I knew of no reason why wolves should be hungry. Green’s Timber is' the name given to a particularly thick I piece of jungle forest near the banks' of the Snake River in Idaho. I was thrusting my way through the brake- and thinking of anything but wolves,‘ and particularly of the dear girl whom ' I had walked some miles to see that' morning. Alma Treleaven had been my dear girl for only a week, and naturally my head was full of her as I tramped cheerily homeward. When I saw a long-coated grey form steal away from a glade as I entered it I scarcely marked the occurrence. But later I turned and saw the brute‘s’ blazing eyes and muscles stifiened for a pistol and fire. When it wanted scarcely an hour to sunset another strange 'thing happened to dispel my confidence. I had left the forest and had already made some way into an extensive prairie through which lay my road, when there fell upon my ear the unmistakable yelp, yelp of a pack in full cry. I looked round and saw close to the edge of the forest a , swiftly moving patch of dots that I knew well enough represented thirty or forty wolves ‘coming on with char- acteristic eagerness. They were two miles away as the crow flies, but about four miles back upon my trail, which I could see plainly they were following. In less than half an hour they would catch me up and there was no place of refuge within reach—ex- cept the swamps! 1'11? swamps. that lie along the know them. In them the poisonous Crater moécasins live and thrive like - mites in a cheese. Unlike most- snakes, this reptile is credited with a spiteful aggressiveness that makes it- far. meredangerous than othersof its, kind.V According to all accounts, the man. who entered the szomps ran the continual risk of being assaulted and even pursued by the deadly reptiles; But 'with so certain and imminent a danger behind me' I was ready and almost anxious to take the risk. ' A bond of disappointment told me that the pack had arrived at' the mar- terrors enough .forvtha-t day'and was; particularly glad to; reach home—about 8 o’clock. “I thought you were lost,". said Simon, my chum, with a scared, ble shock. He looked more terrified- than I had a right to feel, and. I told '- VmaVltVe a lovely. dresses, whil9 rows .of tucks on a fine "muslin gown is a decide’dly' eifective him -so. - He. spoke with :eyes averted; as' he reached. down the: plates; for supper they. clattered like castiuets.‘ When I had changed my. wet garments for dry ones, and when a steaming hash had been placed upon the table, I began to relate my adventure. I spoke but briefly of having seen Amy. Only a week agov he had seen almost as much of her as I. and If" had-a suspicion that her :engagement to me was a sore subject. I accord- inglyI hurried on to tel_l about the wolf in the wood. “What a strange thing ” he said turning away his head and speaking constrainedly. ' “I Been eating stale flesh, likely.” . Then .I told how I had seen the pack on my trail four miles behind. He got up from the table, with clenched fists. . “How did you get away?” he asked. i I told him the rest. “Wh a! Game through Moccasin swamp,” he ejaculated. “It swarms- with snakes. No man has been through it before." It strucx me that he spoke as though he was disap- pointed at my escape. Suddenly he put his 'hand to his head and sprang into the air, with is picking shriek filled the room “I’m I’m bitten! You brought it home,” he shouted, and to my terror I saw a long, from him, its fangs bu1ied in his neck. Simon had leaned his head against my. jacket that was hanging to dry, and the snake must have been In 'one of the pockets. The reptile was quickly dispatched,_ but Simon’s case was quite hopelessf The fangs had almost entered the jugular, and a few minutes sufficed for the poison to reach the heart. Ere he died Simon, blurted out a, strange confession. me. Jealousy, he said, had taken full possession of him; he had last nights rubbed my leggins with valerian, :1an infallible attraction to wolves. Only the. swamp could save- me from ‘the, pack, and that was almost certain I I had passed safely- through the swamp, and had unwit— tingly brought home with me the in-_ strument of his punishment. I thought the confession over, and resolved to believe that it was all an imaginary story, the outcome of the, poison working in Simon’s veins. 1, hope that this may be so, but I con— fess that I so f-ar allowed the possi- bility of another version as to burn those gaitcrs.—_~The Golden Penny.

New Haven, Ifl’une 14. -There is a. goOd deal of bad feeling throughout the state, especially in military circles. over the federal policy of breaking up . the militia organizations, Which enlist- ed with the idea. that they would be kept together and suffer no change ex- cept recruiting. Tire First regiment has been dismembered and it seems to be the intention of the government to‘ divide also the naval battalion, which has been under examination at the Niantic camp, but this has not yet been mustered in. A good deal of dis- satisfaction prevails also in the Light Battery, especially among the Yale men, 'who enlisted for actual service, and have now been kept at dull camp routine with what they consider little prospect of seeing actual war. A‘ dele- gation has visited Washington and re- ceived a. promise that the battery. will be called later into actual service if possible. Another matter causing" trouble is the repont that to make: a full regiment of twelve companies the Fourth militia regiment will be called out and com- bined with the Third—both being short regiments—which would pnob'ably leave the Second regiment, a. full body of twelve companies, out of the service altogether, although it is the crack regiment of the state. Govern-or Cooke 1'15 blamed for the muddled condition of affairs, which is due partly to the fact that he adopted the rule of calling out the regiments in the order of seinior-ity in command. a .121. l ‘1 A NEW COMET DISCOVERED.
