on the ends of the long hairs; a soft fluffy tail, gray and yel- 

 low; and a dog's head, with the weary tongue still clamped 

 between the cruel teeth. 



When the Legislator got home, he was exulting like a boy. 

 "I never had so much fun in my life," he said. "I didn't think 

 anything could happen on that lake that would excite me any 

 more. Why, that time we saw a big bull moose swimming 

 toward Bigsby's Island and got in a sailboat and chased him 

 six miles to the mainland, I thought I had fine sport. But that 

 couldn't hold a candle to this wolf hunt on the ice. I tell 

 you, that one trip was worth the price of the automobile!" 



"Bet your life!" said the Lumberman. 



THERE is an isle in the Lake of the Woods ; 

 An isle that is known to fame. 

 And those, who pass on the waters by, 

 Speak, softly, her dreaded name. 



At eve mid the dusky, grayish heights 

 Weird spirits make their home; 

 And all night long through the pine and oak 

 Strange phantom shadows roam. 



Strange whisperings thrill the passing wind, 

 Strange footsteps beat the shore. 

 And shrieks of woe at the midnight hour, 

 Rise high through the billows roar. 



"Then sheer away," cries the wary guide, 

 "Steer far from the isle of dread; 

 Naught dwells in those shady bosky bowers 

 Save ghosts of the mangled dead."
