Show -4WV CARIBOU WITH flt1 TOPi St r mi i HE weather seemed set fine and I felt so elated with my previous-, success with the moose that when my hunt er. Albert, proposed- a re treat up the trail of fire miles to -a high sugar-loaf mountain on the Tuya . .mountains. I consented. I meant to Uk$ some chances in a second attempt at-tempt to-get the b caribou. Soon we reached a point opposite the mountain. moun-tain. and -then the hard work began. " I drove the horses and the Indians weuf In front cutting down trees, for we had t6 force otrf own trail. Snow was falling when we got Into ; camp, so Albert put up his Jwn little tent and alongside it the. small shelter shel-ter which "Tie always carried for his ' four dogs. ' Aftv supper, having fed "the dogs, the trapper sat late over the fire smoking his pipe, when, looking over his shoulder, he saw an Immense wolf standing at his side. As he moved the wolf gripped hlm firmly by - the, shoulder, but did not succeed in throwing him "down It might, be thought that the dogs which were ly- Ing on the" bther side of the Ore would have growled and at once, attacked the wolf, but this was not the case with the dogs of Casslar. On the contrary, they retreated Into their shelter, where they set up a. dismal howl .of Tear. . Albert seems to have kept his head with admirable presence of mind., and being unable to reach the as or rifle, he grabbed the first weapon that came handiest, namely, a burning brand from the fire. With this he strurk the wolf three times lightly- on the nose, when It at length let go, and he save It a stunning crark over tho bead. The wolf now slunk away. September 20 is one of the red let ter- days of my life, so ! must give It In full. At dawn we moved our outfit about four miles to the highest clump of wnaai. The walking for once was easy and Arm, and as we forced our way through" the last Of the willow scrub, one of the finest landscapes In the world was spread before our wondering won-dering eyrs. Four thousand feet below, be-low, was the Tanzilla, lost to great golden splashes of cotton-wood, birch and poplar. Successions of' deep green fir woods rolled away to the west as far as the grand canyon of the Sllkine, and looking beyond were hvr mountains between that river and the lskoot now covered, with deep and permanent snow. It was a glorious 'day for spying, and on every point of . commanding eminence we stopped and worked the glass industriously. There wer hundreds of likely spots for the ' great cariboo, but not one could we find. I guess wolves Scare hUn right out f the country, ssm Aioert. as be clocd the, glass with an n immense' beast beJooked,-and how keen I should have been to kill him had ! not seen something better. Presently another grand stagcame by, but I resisted the temptation to shoot and kept my eyes glued on the big fellow who was still lying down. Finally, he arose,, surrounded by five large females. I never supposed for an Instant but that he would do aught but follow the -others, but to my great disgust he turned and walked' the other, way, My heart sank . to the depths, of despair. Even the phlegmatic- Albert fidgeted and almost said something. He kept looking Intently at the herd on our left, and I could read his thoughts as he mentally planned a fresh stalk at the main Jaer.tL.,JBut eventa look Ul that jUrsfc tion signified an admission of weak ness on my part, so I kept the glass glued on the object of my desires till my eyes ached at watching his slow, measured steps. Again and again he stopped and looked back at his late companions, and then my heart sank as each time he dropped bis massive boms and followed In the wake of the ladles, who bad. now commenced to snatch a few mouthfuls of food. But what is this? He has started and is galloping full speed. Has something frightened, him or has some fresh bull appeared to excite, his Jealousy1, for he Is a master bull without doubt and the rut Is near. ' He rushes beyond the leading doe and then down goes his head. The show of power drives tho frightened does together and then back on the trail. . They hesitate a moment and then start off at full gal lop towards us. What Joy! Our luck has turned. Albert's face Is a study. He Is Incredulous and then, excited. "They come now" he says to himself. It was a reompense for the hard ships of the Journey to see that, little troop advancing. I knew they would follow the line-of the others and thus pass within easy shot. Moreover, I felt that I bad been right to wait, and that, pleases any man's vanity. On and on they came till the stag began to grow In slue 500 yards, 400 yards. 300 yards. Now they stop and smell about the old tracks, for cariboiTlIke to follow the xact trail of others of their kind. Then an old hind put out her neck; cocks ber ears and trot slowly down the hill towards ouj hiding place. Albert worms bimsell Into a desirable .support bolUnd my right shoulder, and all Is la readiness for his majesty. The nearer he comes the bigger his horns look and, although al-though not long, they contain a forest of point such as I had niter seen before .. A merciful Pro Ideate eaiwee the bull to stop just where the others had stood, but be' Is covered by two binds and I must wait till they have miirvd. He- pokes one gentry out of the wsy and then himself mores forward for-ward a step of two to smell the earth. It Is enough; the sight Is on his shoulder shoul-der and I let go lie. swings round once, shaking his Bead, and then rolls over with all four legs in the air. I give a whoop of triumph, for those great antlers are tnlne. and I rush down the bill for the possible chance of a long shot at on of the stags on the opposite bin. . They are too yards away at least, and all Jammed to gether In a solid park as a result of the shot. A little forest of antlers stands out above a dsrttfi- of bodies. It Is hopeless to fire, as the stags are all at the back, and 1 must wait till they string out and run Now they are o9. tearing orer the hills la a mad race.

Never before were there so many in New York as there are to-day. Millionaires were made In a night by the great wave of consoli dation and the merging of hundred? of Industrial enter.u i.-p that was the feature of the opening years of the twentieth century, J.ist after the close of the Spanish-American war. There were, steel kings, steamship kings pump kings, kings of car springs and of air brakes and of all sorts oi things. They blossomed forth between the sunset of ode day and Jhe dawn of the next. ,Tbe select, circle of plutocracy plu-tocracy widened o swiftly that It broke all barriers ami created a new aristdcracy of wealth In America. New York Was In vailed by a horde of westerners whose manners In some cases shocked even the Imperturbable servitors at the expensive hotels where they monopolized .the royal suites. Pittsburg, from being simply a great mill town, a city - of grimy., workmen, Jumped Into worldwide prominence because it was discovered suddenly that.lt hud more millionaires to the square !"h than t any other spot on eartn. In New York all aorta of people achieved fortunes, paper or actual,' almost before they were aware; jockeya. waiters, bartenders and ober bumble folk, glanced with amass at the balances . with their brokers and began making plans for yachts and country houses. The history his-tory of this period waa one of the wonders of America, . Then. to years ago, the panic came and put a dampener on the financial hopea and aspirations of tbos bo bad survived the varloua Ills that followed In the wake if industrial over-expansion.
