The packs was compoed of four magnificent timber wolves and although the deer battled pluck- ily for its life it was compellod to give upat last. It fought with its hoofs fiercely for a few-min- utes, but the strain began to tell and its efforts to protect itself became more fecble Suddenly one of of the largest of - the pack leaped at the fawn and fastened his fangs into his neck. The other three quickly followed and the fawn was down and out in a moment. The ice in the yicinity of the spot where the fight occurred was spattered with blood and the hungry animals devoured the entire carcass. — Mr. Weishan was unarmed or he would have taken-the side of the fawn.
