And he knew there was not room in this wild northland for both of them. The Indian shook his fist. "Le Careajoul" he muttered again, and set out through the snow On the trail of his enemy. Up ahead somewhere his dog barked, then was silent, The Indian hurried forward appre- hensively, In a clearing lie came upon his. dog, dead; his throat savagely slashed, Snow was beginning to fall. So the trapper pitched his tent and crawled inside. In the mor- ning he found that his snow- shoes, which he had hung up on a branch, had been cut to pieces. Again le Carcajou had struck. Stoically the Indian went in search of willows to use for temporary snowshoes. When he returned he found his tent and blanket completely ruined, his matches gone, Shivering for lack of a fire, he forced his numbed fingers to contrive new snowshoes, then wearily began the long jour- ney back to his cabin, where food and warmth awaited him. But when he reached it at last and pushed open the door, he saw that his vindictive enemy had been here too. The pelts that represented his winters trapping were ripped and slashed to useless strips. His supplies were in a scrambled heap on the -4loori sugar sacks cut open, flour strewn over everything, bacon tossed into the ashes of the fireplace. The blankets in his bunk were torn to ribbons. e" The trapper set Out for the nearest Hudsons BaY Post vow- ing that he was through with trapping.

I °roma Este Le ;shed 1555 is viewed with awe by eXPeti- elleed woodsmen, be is an MI gainly little beast hardly three feet long and weighing, as a rule, less than 30 pounds, writes Reed Millard in "Coronet," Known as le Carcajou to the Indians and French Canadians of the northland, in the western U.S. he is sometimes balled "skunk bear" because of his dis- agreeable scent and because he looks somewhat like a bizarre Combination of those two ani- mals, Technically, he is a mem ber of the weasel family. Unprepossessing as he may be in appearance, the accomplish- ments of this fiend 4f the, forest long ago convinced the India/as that le Carcajou has supernatur- al powers.'His feats of strength are legendary. In order to get at some pack. ages of food cached atop a huge woodpile, but which had fallen down between the logs, a single 28-pound wolverine upset the entire woodpile. In the process he actually moved logs 30 feet long which had required two men to put in place. The wolverine may well rate.. nature's most -fearsome fight- er. In battle with an enemy, he is a twisting, slashing bltir Of, sheer fury that bewilders and terrifies an adversary. He has been known to attack a 1,200- pound moose - a creature more than 40 times his weight - and is capable of defending himself against an entire pack of wolves. Wolverines have killed bears and mountain lions. The wolverine's teeth are am- ong nature's most marvelous cutting instruments. Angled in such a way that they actually cut like shears., they can slash through a two-inch-thick rope at a single bite, As additional armament, the wolverine has claws two inch- es, long, and curved, that give him fantastic digging power.- Wolverines have been known to dig 'their way through three feet of frozen 'rock-hard earth. Often a wolverine will stalk a bigger, more powerful predat- or until it has brought down - game, then step in and take it Over. Hunters have seen a sfrigle Wolverine syeegger up to a•Pablee of wolves about to eat its kill-7, and the wolves,• slink away, Le carceeme is a terror under ordinary conidtions, but the fee male, wheti guarding her young,, is , even more deadly. Ernest Thompson Seton, the naturalist, • once observed, "She is a tigress of ferocity, absolutely fearless, and so strong and quick that a man, even armed with a gun, is teking,risleS if he comes near." NOrnially, a wolverine will not attack a human, but a cap- tured one trying to escape will sometimes turn upon his captor with lethal ferocity. An Alask- an huntsman who caught one, intending to send it to a zoo, put it in his cabin in a seem- ingly 'secure . cage of railroad ties. During the night, the wolver- ine gnawed his way through the ties, stealthily crept toward ,the trapper's bed and suddenly- leaped upon him. The trapper might well have been killed if his screams had not brought help in time. The wolverine is fanatically devoted to making life miserable for trappers.

The Company's „ records are studded with tales of wolverine vendettas. Most commonplace trick is that of'going from trap to trap, carrying off any ani- mals caught there and, as often as, not, carrying off' the traps "themselves: Frequently a wol- 'distances in `order to drop 'them • ethrough the ice into eaaafrozen stream or among inaccessible roecI4eiise is le el .everine will . lug, the traps -long an escape artist, the ol-• v Alprerne in the animal world. Hunters who have suc- ceeded in trapping them have discovered that the hard way. One trapper who had been lucky enough to capture a wol- erine p 1 aced him in a large .sheet steel oil drum', removing the bung to provide air for the creature. In the morning, the man found his captive gone. Incred- ibly, the wolverine had succeed- ed in inserting his nose into the bung hole and literally, ripping away the steel. Not that many men have suc- ceeded in getting that far with trapping a wolverine, for le Carcajou is one of the hardest of •• all animals to catch. One trapper, upon finding one of his traps 'missing, deduced from the tracks that it had caught a wol- verine by one foot and that the animal was dragging the trap. The trapper set out to follow him. Hour after hour he snow- shoed at top speed. But after 50 miles he gave up, Handicapped as he was, the Wolverine was still ahead of hint J. G. Lockhart, a skilled Manitoba trapper, once found his traplines being raided by a wolverine; Heeding the admoni- tion of the Hudsons Bay Coin-. pany, for weeks 'he set traps, singly and in batches of six, - using the utmost cunning in con- cealing them. The wolverine calmly ignored them all, Desperate,' Lockhart then de- vised an ingenious s'chetee. "I set up a gun on the bank of' a little lake," he repute. "The gun was concealed in some low be s he s, bet. the bait was so placed that Carcajou must see it, on his' way up the b a n k.

Their carefree freedom may soon be threatened. They may soon have to pay in hard cash for the joys of being single, Their Continental counter- parts have already reason to regret their single state. Voe al- ready in France and Germany unofficial moves are afoot with a view to imposing special tax- es on unmarried men, If the plan succeeds, what guarantee'' s there that some- body here won't advocate a similar one being put into prac- tice, recommending stiff bach- elor taxes as a means of rais- ing national reveritte? And if that does come about then many who hav,e "escaped" so far will have to decide whether taking the plunge might not be worth while after all, Thus bad news for bach- elors could mean a wonderful break /Or the girls! When. ,William wanted to raise money for wai "-with France, he imposed a bachelor tax which remained operative from 1095' to 1706. In effect„ it made every unmarried man pay a fine for not being mar- ried. The amount was varied in accordance with his social sta- tus. Dukes, archbishops and so on had to pay £12 lls, a year (a large sum, in those days). Gen- tlemen, esquires, doctors and other professional men- had to fork out to the tune of Os. a year, and "other persons" is, a year. An "Old Maid and Bachelor Tax" Bill introduced into the legislature of the. State of Flo- rida 30 years ago imposed a $5 tax on every spinster over 25 and every bachelor over 30. When a certain gay bachelor, Mr. Harry L. Johnson, of Fort Myers,, heard about it, he re- vealed, the high valuation he put on his single blessedness by sending the following wire to the authorities: "Noting the Bill faxing bach- elors $5 a year, I am to-day sending cheque for my tax. I shall be away this summer and wish to do my part. $5 is too little. No real free man would object to paying $50 or even $500." Citizens of Eastham, 1Vlasea- chusetts, decreed many years ago that every than should kill six blackbirds and three crows yearly while he remained single. Farmers whose crops were being ruined by the birds hailed this novel "tax" with de- light. Meniphis, Tennessee, got reve- nue from bachelors by passing a law which provided that no single man over 21 should be allowed in its streets after 9 p.m. or be permitted to accom- pany a single woman to a place of amusement unless he could produce -a bachelor's licence costing $5 a year. In a single year the money from these licences was suffici- ent to provide milk for large numbers of poor children and to maintain a hospital for moth- ers and children. Editor's Note: In effect, Canadian bachelors are paying through the nose for the privilege of being avail- able. Just you compare the income tax a bachelor has to pay with that of a man who is married and you will discover the "hidden" tax is enormous, This Ghost Left A Fingerprint Mrs. A. Van Zyl, of .the town of Springs, South Africa, is en- gaged in an unusual quest. She is making inquiries about a handkerchief on which, she says, are imprinted the black finger-marks of a ghost, As a young girl, Mrs. van Zyl was friendly with another Springs woman who lived in a house reputed to be haunted. In this house furniture would be moved into different posi- tions during the night, and on one occasion the girl awoke to find - her bed swinging around. Crockery, left after the even- ing meals to be washed the fol- lowing day, would be found cleaned in the mornings. Doors opened before they Were touched. Mrs, van Zyl said that on one occasion she went to the haunted house With her friend. Wrapped around Mrs. van Zyrs hand was a white hand- kerchief, She had just touched' the door when her friend hit her. She asked the reason for the attack, and in turn her friend accused bet Of slapping her across the face. Neither Woman had hit the other, but Mrs. van. Zyl noticed dark red marks Ott her friend's face. Then she glanced down at her hendkerchief arid `saw` bleek fingerinarks on it, Mrs. van Zyl' kept the hand- 1;erchi0f, but recently lost it.
