OLD MOSINEE TOM. «-

(All Rights Reserved.)

In the late fifties the Wisconsin valley above Portage was a wilderness. The

lumbermen who trailed their way up the river passed through tamarack swamps so thick a deer could scarcely penetrate them, and over dry ridges clothed with splendid pine without underbrush, clean as a park and of inestimable value.

Old Mosinee mountain rose out of the) wide, green reach of the valley, dark | with his robe of pines. All about was; forest land untouched by the ax, almost untrayersed by the pioneer’s restless foot.

But year by year the loggers pushed; northward, seeing points where the pine} rez; could be felled into the river, or where skidways could be constructed to make | hauling unnecessary. The whole river had

been ransacked and every favorable river tpoint stripped of its timber before the movement back into the forest began. From short hauls and heavy timber the movement was toward long hauls and smaller timber. Each year the attack widened as well as lengtheaed its battle line against the pines.

Two young boys from La Crosse county in 1859 pushed up the river to “Ginny Bull falls,” and being attracted by old Mosinee mountain planted ther camp at its foot and set about preparations for winter. They were beyond any other camp so far as they knew, and when they blazed outa trail in September they had before them a great deal of stern labor.

They had hay to cut in the marshes, wood to clear out and shanties to build. They were sturdy young fellows, of that indomitable sort raised up in America to do such work in face of everything.

Holland was a bridegroom of only three months’ duration, and his wife was expect- ed to be the cook for the camp when the snows came and work of logging actually begun. He wasa tall, young fellow, with a broad, flat, but powerful, chest, very erect and active.

Miller, his companion, was a short man, inclined to be fat when food and sleep were plenty. He was forever grumbling, and yet was a great joker. He assumed great airs at fimes, and teld how well he lived at home. This he did when it would em- barrass the cook. He was, in fact, a come- dian.

The work was hard, the fare monoton- ous, and his patience really gave out dur- ing ase vere sickness which came upon him during October. He came to be about again, but he grumbled about Holland’s cooking more and more.

“I don’t want to say anything against your cookin’, Hank. It’s good, what there is of it, but I'd like to have the boys tarn up with Mrs. Holland and some grub.”

“You don’t want to see her any worse than I do, old man.”

“Of course not.”

“You ought to stand it if Ican,” Holland concluded.

Miller turned his slap-jack over twice before he cut it and began eating.

“Seems to me these things get leather- er 'n’ leatherer every day. Imay be mis- taken.”

He worked his jaw meditatively on the problem.

“Allin y’r eye; they,re right up to high- water mark. You're a little off y’r feed, I guess--Lampers down or something.”

In secret Holland was a little bit worried about his partner. He changed the sub- ject. “I heard a rifle to-day, Jack! Off to the north.”

“Doc. Adams, [ guess.”

» “No; the Doc. wouldn't be up here so soon asthat. It’s some other party.”

Miller took little interest in this, but worked away stubbornly on his slap-jacks. Suddenly his jaws stiffened and his eyes distended.

“Hank, look there!”

Holland turned to the window, and saw the huge furry head, alert ears and point- ed muzzle of a bear, wistfully looking in.

“The rifle,” he whispered.

Miller raised his hand to feel for the rifle on the wall behind him, but the bear vaaished so silently and swiftly it was hard to think there had been a bear there at all.

As Miller leaped for the rifle Holland flung the door open, anda broad path of light streamed out toward the forest, an@ in the midst of it was a huge rounded shadow, shambling swiftly away.

“Quick! There he goes, fire!”

Miller pulled up and fired at the vanish- ing shadow. And, like the echo of the shot, came another report from the edge of the clearing and a cry from a man beyond the circle of light.

“°Y gorry, we've got ’im. tern.”

Miller dashed in for the lantern while Holland waited for the voice to embody itself.

“I wish I had ol’ Zip here, we'd have that feller shore’s aigs,’’ continued the voice, now getting near the house.

As the light from the shanty shone on him the stranger appeared a middle-aged man, very tall, with a ragged beard. He had a long and well-kept rifle in his hands.

“Did you fire, too?” asked Holland.

“J didn’t dast t’ fire when he was lookin’ in the winder an’ when he got dowé& I couldn’t see ’im till you opened the door. But we got ‘im.

Miller appeared with the lantern and they all went out to the spot where the bear was last seen, but he was gone. There was blood on the ground, but net enough to trail him by.

“He's hit. but he’s safe enough.

Sy TALES OF THE PINERIES.

BY HAMLIN GARLAND.

Zip, we'd tree him tn fifteen minutes, but we might just as well give him up—with- out a dog,” said the old man after a pause,

“ail right,’ said Holland. “We was just eating supper. Come in an’ take a snack,”’

“Don't hunter.

“T didn’t know y’ was here till t’day,” he said as he sat down at the table. “Jest made acamp m’self up here a couple o’ miles and saw y’r smoke t’day; thought I'd come down and make y’ a neighborly call.’ He laughed again until his mouth gaped wide and his little twinkling eyes disappeared.

“Glad you did. Jack, slap in a couple o’ dabs’ 0’ that pancake mortar—this fel- low seems to appreciate my cookin’.”’

“By the way,” put in Miller, as he set a couple of huge cakes sizzling, ‘‘what's your name when you’re at home? Mine is Miller.”

‘‘Mine’s Tom Welsh, otherwise Mosinee Tom.”

“I’ve heard of you,” said Holland.

*-As Lwas sayin’, thinks I'll jest drop in on ’em. Sol built a fire an’ I says to Zip: ‘Now Zip, ol’ boy, you better hug that fire purty close ’r the wolves "ll pinch y’’—an’ come down.”

“Glad y’ did,” said Miller. kind o’ lonesome these days.”

“Lonesome!” the old fellow laughed. “W'y young man I tramp from here to Lake Superior an’ never see a human bein’ from one month’s end to another, and I don’t know what lonesome means. O, of course, when it’s handy I like to drop in this way an’ have a little confab—but that ain’t gittin’ lonesome.”

“Q, it ain’t, eh?’ said Miller, ironically. “Well that’s the way I feel when I get lonesome. How’s that f’r a mouthful?’ he said, as he slid a huge cake into the stranger’s plate.

** Bout my size,” cackled the old fellow, and he cut it into quarters and rolled it up like a quilt. Infact he kept Miller turn- ing cakes till he cried out: ‘Look here,you must be holler clean to your boot heels.”

Supper being over, they drew round the fire and lighted their pipes, and the old hunter told stories of the woods.

He knew the woods as the Indians do. He could map the whole land in the ashes of the hearth and he generalized shrewdly about the wild life.

“A good many yarns about bears an’ wolves an’ painters an’ links (panthers and lynxes) is all bosh. Bears an’ links are mostly jest as glad t’ git outo’ your way as you are to git out their way. They don’tturn ona man unless their young uns are with’em, or you corner ’em, or when they’re mighty hungry. Most any critter ‘ll fight in a trap, but in a free space it’s nacherl f'r’em t’ run off the minute they see aman. Same way with “painters in daylight, or night either. They just puck-a-chee when they see yeh.”’

“Ever had a tussle with ’em?’’

“O yes, but ’venever had ’em turn on me except when I began the fuss. Then they'll fight f'r dear life jest like a man will.”

“How about wolves?” asked Miller, with a significant look at Holland, who had wolf stories to spare.

The old yaan’s face grew dim and he drew several whiffs from his pipe before he answered:

“Wolves are different; they're vicious, no two ways about that. They mean fight—”

“Especially when a lot of ‘em git to- gether.”

care if I do,” laughed the

“I’m feeling

The old man went on: “Wolves ain’t cowardly, as some folks say. They've got sense and judgment.

They know how to size up the other fellow ,

so’st not t’ tackle a crowd they can’t whip. They’re all-fired smart, wolves is. They don’t walk into any traps, but they'll eat a feller up quicker’n lightnin’ when the chance is good. They don’t walk into a trap and they don’t bluster—they mean biz.”

He sat with his pipe in his mouth, bis hands over his knees and his eyes fixed on the fire. His voice began to take on a reminiscent tone.

The sound of the wind in the pines out- side stirred through the silence with a sombre note, and Holland stirred up the fire in the vast fireplace till it roared loud- er than the wind,

The hunter resumed after knocking the ashes out of his pipe and putting it away.

“ve been chawed by bears, and clawed by wildcats and catameunts; I’ve had a buck deer trampin’ me into the ground; but I never had a wolf's tooth into me yet. When Ido, ’m gone. They don’t make no mistakes. When they take hold it’s after takin’ all the chances and cale’latin’ t? win. Now a bear ’ll git blind crazy with a bullet, an’ go in where he is sure to get used up; so’lla painter ‘'r a wildcat; but your wolf, he knows better; he don’t go into no such business; he jests limps off in the woods and swears vengeance.”

Holland here related a story of a siege by wolves through which he had been, Long Tom listened with an occasional car- roborative nod.

“That’s jest it; they’re sharks, Seems if they can smella sick or wounded man ten miles. I used to live down in Portland when I was a boy, an’ I know what a shark is. A shark is a wolf in the water. A wolf is a shark in the woods.”

A curious look came on his face, and after a silence he said:

“If they ever set tooth in old Tom, hell know his time has come to go.”

“T should think you'd keep out of their way if you're afraid of them,” said Hol- land, cautiously.

The old man spraightened up, His face darkened with anger.

, ‘Say, d’ y’ mean that?”

Holland saw his mistake.

“Set down. Set down! I didn’t mean anything. Still you speak as if you kind o’ dreaded them,” he added.

“Wall, I do,’ the hunter confessed. “But I ain’t afred of ’em. I know ’m. Know jest how to take’em. I build a fire in front of my little shed, put arifle handy and Zip at my feet and sleep sound’s a baby inacradle. If the fire gits low Zip growls and wakes me up and I throw on more wood.

“But some way I feel as if they’d git me yit. [’lIlmake a mistake some day and then they’!l pile on top of me an’ that'll be theendoime. A pile of bones gnawed white. ¥ Jest such a pile as I’ve come across myself many a time in the woods.”’ Spend- ing his days alone in the somber shadows of the forest, he had grown superstitious like the sailors. Signs and omens filled up half his life. He traveled by signs and built his little open shed according to the moon and stars. The sound of the wind was in the sad droop of his voice.

Tenders for the lease of Hillsborough Skating Rink for ensying season will be received up to 20th N@vember, at noon.

“hey killed my brother,” he said, Nar ly: ‘an’ they'll git me.”

"He rose slowly. ‘Wal, I guess I'll pull out.”

“Q, don’t be in a hurry.”

“Ql Zip’ll git uneasy.”

“Better stay all night.”

“Q. no; couldn’t think of it "tall. Wolves would clean out my whole camp before daylight. Hark!” He lifted his hand. ‘They're on the rampage now. They always are before a storm.” Afaz off, blent with the rising snarl of the winds i'n the pines they could hear the clamor of wolves hurrying after some fiying deer. The old man grasped his rifle.

“Pil get back to my dog.”

“Harin’t one of us better go out with you?”

“No, I'm all right; I'm werryin’ "bout Zip.”

Holland went with him to the clearing and said:

“Come and see us; our door is always open. Good-by. Good lack.”

“Good luck,” replied the old man, as he blended into the dense shadow of the forest.

Holland turned his face upward to the gray skies and felt fine flakes of snow be- ginning to sift down through the massive tops of the trees. Wolves were astir in the deeps of the wood, and a wildcat across the river was growling as he scrambied up or down the cliff.

He shuddered and looked back as_ he en- tered the warm-lighted shanty.

“J don’t want his quarters to-night.”

“By jingo, I should say not,” said Miller.

Holland awoke in the midst of a dream of a man sinking in the snow, and crying help! For a few moments he could not

“SAT CROUCHED OVER THE FIRE TILL MORN- ING.”

tell where his dream left off and his wak- ing began. All was dark in the room save the uneasy flicker of the dying firelight on the walls of the cabin. The wind was stronger without, steady and cold.

He sat up in bed to convince himself that he was in his cabin, and felt for Miller to reassure himself that he was not alone. He was about falling off asleep again when faint and far off, mingled with the sound of the storm outside, came the clamor of distant wolves and a long drawn cry:

“Help, he—e—l—p!”

He sprang to his feet and stood irreso- lute in the middle of the floor, not sure of his senses yet. He leaned to listen. It came louder. The clamor of yelping wolves drew nearer, and now unmistakably the wild cry of a man.

‘Help! help! For God’s sake open the door!”

Holland flung up the bar. The noise of beating feet was heard. He swung the door open, and with the speed of a desper- ate deer Long Tom shot across the clearing into the cabin, falling in a heap on the floor, while not a rod behind, their red tongues lapping, their eyes shining with greenish phosphorescent, terrifying glare, came a dozen wolves, tearing along in pursuit, and so savage and determined their hunger, if Holland had not swung the door in their faces, they would have plung- ed through the open door upon the ex- hausted hunter.

The old man rose from the floor insane with wrath.

“Give me your rifle,” he snorted, when he could get his breath. ‘“‘Let me get a chance at them.”’

He had stayed away too long. The fire had burned down, and the waiting wolves had sprung upon the faithful dog. They were gnawing his bones when the hunter arrived. At the sound of his rifle they scattered, but almost instantly turned upon him and he fled. He loaded and fired once more, and then backed away, holding them at bay with his clubbed rifle. In this way he backed all the way down the river bank, facing the snarling pack. As he neared the cabin he flung away his rifle and rap—only his marvelous speed saving him.

He wept like a child, and swore in his weeping as he thought of his faithful dog cowering there in the centre of that circle of hungry eyes.
