He hastened in | that direction and found his daugh-! ter with the big hound standing guard close to her, and near her were the bodies of two big gray wolves. The wolves had evidently stolen up on the sleeping child and her pro- | tector with the intention of killing , | them, and were whipped by the dog. The child was unable to give an in- telligent account of what had hap- pened, but said she had been awak- ened by hearing Nero fighting with the wolves. A Victim of Nicotine.
