A WOLF AVENGER It was in the latter part of January, bitterly cold, when Bill Cutter with his four hunting dogs wa9 in the woods hunting. The dogs had caught their prey, which was a wolf. Each had hold of a leg pulling the opposite direction of the other. They were all howling at Bill to shoot the wolf, though it did them very little good for Bill had something fixed on his brain which had been there for some time. Bill did not seem to pay much attention to the dogs but finally put his thoughts together enough to shoot the wolf and go on at what he had Btarted, which you will find if you will read on. Bill was twenty-one years old He had a girl friend, Nellie Brown, he loved dearly, and he had once asked her to marry him but shei ' refused as she did not love him. : About six months later she married a boy named Jimmy Casters. This disappointed Bill very much and he was really very angry with Nellie. Casters lived in a little cottage on a country road which ran close by the woods in which Bill was hunting. Casters lived very happy In their little cottage until one day (the same day that Bill was in the forest hunting), when Jimmy had gone to the forest to cut wood, and Nellie was left atone to do what she pleased. She beame lonesome and went into the other room to get a stocking to darn, humming a little ! tune as she went, when all of a i sudden she heard the window raise J slowly and Bill Cutter crawled slowly through the window. Bill had seen Jim in the forest and thought that now would be the best chance to do what he so longed to do. Nellie ceased her humming and walked out into the dining room to see who it was Bill rushed at her with his hunt ing knife wide open. "Now, Nellie Brown. See this knife; I'm going to make use of it pretty quick. You turned me down and went and married that old Jim Caster. You're not going ' to be here very long to love anybody. I'm going to kill you and lay you on the fire place and then I'll get behind the door and pounce on Jim and treat him the same way." In the meantime a wolf had fol lowed Bill and was crawling through the window. Nellie saw it but said nothing. The wolf slipped up behind Bill and quietly pounced on him, this causing him to roll over on the hand In which he held the knife and tbo knife ran into his side and instantly killed him. Nellie quickly jumped np and got the revolver on the dresser and shot the wolf. As Nellie went over to close the window she heard Jim whistling outside. Jim came in and Nellie could not say a word, bnt as soon as Jim stepped Inside the I

dining room he guessed what had twelve years of age, whom he hopes to legally adopt and rear in Washhappened. Jim notified Bin's par- ington, where he lives. Re is a bachelor, but a niece who occupies his

ents and they came over after him, and that was the last that Nellie and Jim ever saw of Bill. (The End.)

1,000 RATS IN TEN DAYS CAUGHT BY BOY SCOUTS Florence, 1 Alabama. One thousand rats caught in 10 days is the record of the Boy Scouts of Florence, Ala. The Florence Chamber of Commerce secured 125 traps which they turned over to five Boy Scouts offering 5 cents for every rat they would catch, in the campaign to clean the city of rodents. An expert ratcatcher from the United States public health service was hired to assist them. The campaign was so successful it is planned to repeat it every year hereafter.

WHEN FATHER CAME HOME The weather was warm in the orchard, The flowers were all in bloom, The birds were Binging sweetly When father came home at noon. -Melbourne Davis, Starr school. Nowadays in some Cleveland schools, pupils in geometry classes are designing wall paper and linoleum, in order to learn more about geometry figures. A Privilege The story of the hungry children in Germany and Austria so hungry that they do not grow naturally, and so hungry that they die many of them is not an unhappy fairy story nor the telling of a bad dream, but the simply told sad truth. There is no need for them to starve, not for a single one of them. There is plenty of food for them and for us in, our country. Save or earn a dollar, each' of you children and juniors, and send it to your unhappy and unknown friend across the Altantic.

All the guests modeled animals out of plastico and thii time Miriam Burbanck won the prize. , Refreshments were served late in the afternoon. The guests of the party were Virginia Brookbank, Marguerite Bur-, banck, Miriam Burbanck, Kathleen Comstock, Marian Chenoweth, Lestra Hibberd and Marion Harlan.

THE LOST JEWELS James called to Bertha. "Come Bertha, let's go to the lake and skate. The ice is dandy." . "All right." said Bertha. As they were walking along, James said: "Have you heard about the lost Jewels?" They are called "Miss Engl'es lost jewels." "Why no," said Bertha. "Tell me all about It." . "Well," said James, "Old Uncle Miller was at our house last night He told us some stories and he told about the lost jewels, and he said people were offering five hundred dollars ($500) to any, one who could find the jewels. Yon see Miss Engle never married. She loved Jewels more than any other thing. She had an ivory box fall of Jewels. "Her father, a rich man owned a , large factory. There was a big cave near the factory that he kept his boxes and other things in. After Miss Engle's -death, the jewels could not be found. . That's all I know," finished James. "Have yon told any one else about it?" asked Bertha. "Yes, I told Ralph York." Then they walked in silence , till they reached the lake. They had forgotten about the lost Jewels till a big boy, Basel Bales, ran up and cried "Ralph York is lost!" he has not been home since morning, his mother is awful worried. . She told me to tell you boys and girls to see if you could find him. "Well, well try," said James, and . he called the others and told them of the lost boy, Ralph. Then James began to think about the lost Jewels and the five hundred dollars reward, and wondered If Ralph was hunting the, jewels. As the boya and girls were going along the lake, they met Pat Morgan, and asked them if he had seen Ralph that morning. He said he saw him go in the Engles' cave.. So the boys and girls went to the cave. The cave was dark, so the boys used their flashlights. Finally they came to a sign "Danger ahead." But the boys and girls went on till thev came to a place where the roof wag caved in. But they scrambled over tbe rocks and earth and went on. Then they came to someone kneeling. James flashed his" light on the kneeling figure. It was Ralnh! When they saw what he was digging no thev were astonJshed. It was the box Miss Engle's Jewels were in. After thev had helped Ralph get the jewels out, they asked, "How did you know the Jewe's were In thU cave?" "Well," said Ralph; "as I was walking near here yesterday, i asked unrne boys about thl cave. They told me it was the Engle's cave, po when you told me about the Inst Jewels, I thought of this pl&fp." i "Why I never thought of the Vave." said James. "Oh." cried Bertha. "J"t think, we will get the five hundred dollars reward, and we can have theclass room bu'lt, we have always wanted." By Margaret Ruth Newman. Lynn, Ind., Bloomlngport school.
