I saw the waterworks a few times, then X didn’t. Then i t began to get dark. Then Mr. Wolf com menced to alng.his swan song and 1 wanted to go home right off. ‘•You see, they \have gray wolves out there. Now, It happened that a mem ber of this tribe—usually afraid of a man—had marched out on the lee to take a quiet drink. He was busy lap ping up the blue water.

There was Mr. Wolf sitting measure. Then I remembered that the farmers in that region loved not the wolf, so I wished him to cease from irmuring. They might turn loose a few Gatlings on us and the woll -would have none the best of it. 1 beared a few loose blocks of Ice at him .and be quit bowling and growled, •crouching aa it to spring. “Here's a funny thing.

The Glen correspondent has just re turned from s trip tm the fair and was \touch pleased with The fruit and veget able exhibit. The fruit from, the lake Was exhibited with great careand judge ment and was a credit to the people who arranged the exhibit aa well as the whole his haunehaa.and alngiogadolorous country. In fact it would be a credit commenced to grow beautifully leaii. This made it interesting. You know the American wolf ia a coward when be faas a few thousands o f miiqa torace over, but in close quarters he wf!Might, I knew _it, at any rate, for when 1 tossed chunks at him be quit warbling, showed hia teeth and crouched for «- spring. “ I saw by fhe time we bad1 been out there half a dozen hours that the raft was too small for both of us. I wanted all the room myself, and decided the wolf would have to go. I am not much of a swimmer myself and it was cold, ao I tried to shoo off that wolf. Ha wouldn’t shoo worth a cent. We were out in the miJdle'of the river by this and making good progress toward Kan sas City. Chunk after chunk was whirling from our raft and it soon be came a matter of crouching on opposite sides of a hummock iu the middle. The wolf crouched In closer and and whined like a dog. But he showed fight when I bothered him. “ThAnoon came up and tilvered our raft. It also showeA-Apher* the dark, sullen and furioua water raged. It waa a thoughtful time. I had missed din ner by a dozeu miles, was out on the bosom of'the Mimdurl with one lone wolf of uncertain parentage and discovered habits. I had no cartridges with which to shoot him and he re sented any familiarity. I remember; that, having used threats, 1 resorted to the ‘con’ game, but that woli waa a wise boy; he paid no heed to my efforts to make friends. He howled when not molesteif, os he evidently had no purpise o f swimming for it. Neither had I, but as our limits rowed with every swirtof a tide that does nothing else it Soon became a question of who would win at this kind of postponed game. “Away to the south, high heavens, I could see a line of lights declining visibly. I took them for stars, but later concluded they were the lights on Bluff street. Would sweep by the big city or would we .a sandbar, plenty o f whidh lurked n by? It was a question. 1 made up ray mind I must get rid of that wolf, so I sneaked around the kopje and hoist ed my shotgun to smite him. Then commenced tho most lurid scrap I ever mixed with. “ 1 swung with the gun; he ducked and clawed me in the riba. 1 rushed, he side-stepped and swung for my Jaw. but 1 went under. Then we sparred around that Ice hill. He kept it between me and harm until all at once with a yowl he charged. Hesmote me ‘in the aide and one leg went Into 80 feet of water, but I waa up before he could count ten. Then 1 closed in— T had to, for 1 broke off another chunk with that rush—and banded him an awful punch. I thought he waa out, hut he came up before the count and ducked as I went for him. “One must gc ont thia time or it waa a draw, for but eight feet of space was left. I didn't measure it excepting with my eyee, but 1T1 swear to it. I led the left—I'd loetthe gun—end lie blocked, countering with bis right. 1 went under and caught him an awful uppercut under the chin with my right. He liked It; absolutely liked it, for it never bothered him. He crunched low and led right and left swift os light ning. I gave ground and backed clear off the ice as it hit that sandbar. “I struck out to swim for shore, al though I didn't know where that waa I paddled vigorously for awhile with my feet high In -the air—’rternwheel- Ing,’ we used1 to call it as boy*—when my fingers dug into sand.

Forty more cars ol steel arrived this week and track laying on the Columbia Bhlls and Northern will begin the first of next week by Porter Bros, who have tbecontract. The track will be laid as far as Whitefish by about the first of November. ' Track laying will also com mence from Rexford this way and be lgid as far as Dewey before the winter season. No new cases of smallpox were report ed from the Yeotpan Hall district this wfcek. From recent reports the health officers of Kalispell have been very negligent in the matter of keeping the disease nnder check and if the report ie true it wasn’t tbe fault of the officers that the disease did not spread all over thecountry. The laying of the track to Whitefish will be a great benefit to Columbia Falls 8iace it will place ns in closer commun ion with the workings along the line. Travel from Kalispell will all come this way after the track is laid. Tom Thornton and Hank Imholt are engaged today remodeling tile building next the 8tockWlm and the same will be occupied by Billy Lawrence for saloon purposes. We can’t publish all the good things thia week so we’ll save a few for the next. So it is with the reflections of old soldier next week.
