THE WOLF, There is no other animal of its size and few even among the larger Beasts of Prey which equal a hungry Wolf in fierceness and bold- 

 ness. In the winter time, especially, when domestic animals are housed and burrowing animals have retired to their winter quarters, the Wolf, emboldened 

 by scarcity of food, becomes dangerous to Man, whose only safe refuge, at such a time, is to climb to a place of safety and with a trusty gun make war on the 

 lupine pack until such as are not killed are scared away. The picture represents such a scene and is typical of the dangers which may come in winter in the 

 Wolf-infested regions in the west of our own country, as well as in others where these animals range.
