EARLY HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY
CAUGHT BY WOLVES
By H.E. Smith
”Give us your hand,” said Harry. “I owe you anything for giving up Maggie as you did.” “Maggie!” exclaimed Jim; “Maggie? Ah, yes. What a fool I’ve been! Harry, my friend, I’m so glad Annie is safe.” “I guess I’ve been a fool, too,” slowly responded Harry; but it’s all right now. Ha! Here they come—for your lives, now, boys!”
The fire was blazing furiously now; but for a moment the forest devils seemed to have forgotten their fear of it, as they dashed around it, and into the open space at the end. Not a shot could miss, however, and the effect of “six grist’s of buckshot” was deadly, but it had to be followed with clubbed guns and fire-brands before the wolves again retreated.
It was a fearfully close thing, and not one of the three got off without a mark; but the firebrands carried them through. They hardly felt the bitter cold in their excitement, and could not have guessed how much of time had passed—it might have been minutes and it might have been hours.Again and agian the pack came howling up, and Jeff declared that he had but one more load. His friends were but little better off, and things were beginning to look badly. Even the fire would not burn forever.
“Look out, now boys,” cried Jim; “they’re a-gathering. I declare it seems as if there was as many as ever.” “Not quite,” said Jeff. “but here they come.” Good aim and true all around; but it almost seemed in vain to check that maddened torrent of snapping jaws and glaring eyes. The woods had multiplied the echoes of the guns, but just as the three friends braced themselves for another “hand-to-jaw” struggle, another chorus of sounds broke gladly on their ears. Shouts, sleigh-bells and hurrahs of excitement and delight!—and, in a moment more, half a dozen swiftly driven teams came charging down the road from the direction of Square Four Corners.
The wolves heard, hesitated, fell back; but Harry Mapleson tossed his fur cap in the air for very joy, and that head-piece was the only trophy won by the wolves that night. It fell within reach of a yelling brute, which seized it and darted away, and the whole pack followed him, for the cracking of firearms had already begun from the “rein-forcements.” The foremost sleigh dashed gaily up, and the first to leap out were not the men. “Harry! Saved!” exclaimed Maggie Galbraith. “Oh, Jim, I’m so glad!” almost sobbed Annie, while the Squire added, half humorously: “I couldn’t help it, boys; the gals would come along; and I guess I know now which is which, if you don’t.”
