' PART II.
The bright fire awed the wolves.
Occasionally die would try and sneak
around to approach by the side out of
the direct glare of the fire, but Tom
always had his eye on suen. He would
stir up the blaze a little, pull trigger
on the rascal, and he would drop; and
that would end for the, time. The
- main bedy a the beasts• made no mad
rushes, nor did. they attempt to go
over ,and eat the fallen wolf; and,
with the exception of a stray one shot
while skulking around, the night pass-
ed without clangee to the boys.
The weed near at hand had been all
consumed keeping up the fire, and lit-
tle George had now to go further
bask into the mouth of the cave, or
split, in the mountain side. From the
excitement -and the labor of carrying
the fuel, he was quite alert and smart,
even after having passed the long
night. without sleep.
The break of day was now appear-
ing. The wolves were moving rest-
lessly as if undecided whether to leve
the field, or make one last effort to
reach the brave boy.
All at once there was a sharp re-
port of a gun from the edge of the
forest east of the basieof the moun-
tain, followed by others in rapid suc-
cession; and at the first two shots two
welves tumbled over.
Tom gave a shout of joy, for he
knew assistance was at hand, and,
bringing his rifle up quickly to hie
shoulder, • he gave a parting shot to
the scampering beasts, and with joy,
junmed down fibm the rock, and ran
to meet his father, who was the one
who,had fired the shots. Little George,
on hearing the shets and seeing his
brother jump down, Clambered up the
boulder and gave a prolonged whoop,
and waved his hat towards his father.
The poor father's joy wies“unbound-
ed when he placed an arm around
each of the braes boys.:
"Bey," he said, "your mother is
awftillY anxious. told her you were
all right; but, to tell the truth, my
mind was ill at ease. Thank Provi-
dence, you are safe. So let us hurry
home as fast as we can."
Little George now interposed, and
said; "Hold on, Tom, I couldn't tell
you while we were busy holding the
wolves -off; but there is a queer block
of shiny wood back in the cave., I
tried to move it, and couldn't. There
is some iron about it, too. You and
father come and see."
So the father and two boys 'made
their way over the boulder and into
the cave. There, . sure enough, was
the object little George described. In
getting the 'supplies of stuff to 'heed
his brother teekeep the fire replenish-
ed he had uncovered this, • Reims not
a block pf wood, but an iron -bound
oak boxe-about eighteen inches log
by afoot broad.
Old Ben and Tom got a couple of
• sharp _sticks, snd dug about the sides
and ends of the box Until they had
laid it base; but their united efforts
could only move it a little. • As to
carrying it away—that was out of the
question.
• The mother •being alone at home,
and anxious, they could not remain
any longer. So the dirt Was thrown,
back, some chips and branches put on
top, and the father and his boy a start-
ed off down the beach for home. The
boys received strict instructions from
their father not to mention the dis-
covery of the box to anyone.
That night about dusk, Ben and his,
boy Tom dropped quietly out of the'
bay in a small rowboat. Fortunately
the sea was calm and they could thus
poke along in shallow water in the
shadow of the beach. Arriving oppo-
site the boulder, the boat was shoved
quietly ashore; lantern was lit, and

The Mines Department of Canada is
keenly interested in the developments
that are taking place in gold and silver
mining in Canada, and looks for much
progress in this direction.
The Hot Days.
Whenever a number of days of very
hot weather follow in succession we
usually see in the newspapers a list
of people who have died as a. result of
the heat, and of others who have been
prostrated.
Heat prostration or heat exhaustion
is a collapse tine to the effect of high
ternperature of the body. It is meet
apt to occur when one has undertaken
heavy or unusual physical exertion.
It is milder in form and less serious
in Its after-effects than sunstroke,
which is usually caused by prolonged
exposure to the rays of the sun.
In cases of heat exhaustionothe tem-
perature of the patient rarely rises
above 103 degrees Fahrenheit and
may be below normal; the face is pale,
the skin is tool and covered with a
clammy perspiration, and, the patient
is conscious. Sunstroke, on the other
hand, is marked by a temperature run-
ning as high as 110 degrees Fahren-
heit or 112 degrees Fahrenheit; the
face is flushed; the skin is hot and
dry, and unconsciousness comes at
once, the patient often dropping as if
strack by a bullet.
When -a person collapses from the
heat, the first thing to do is to call a
physician, but 'while waiting for hini
to respond there are a number of
things that can be done to make the
patient more comfortable and to give
bin a greater chance of recovery. In
heat prostration the parson affected
should be removed to as cool a place
as possible, placed flat on the neck
with the head low and a light covering
thrown over the body. A mild stimu-
lant may be given. In cases of sun.
stroke, however, an e11drt should be
made to lower the temperature of the
body by ice packs on the head, ice
water sponging of the body, and, if
neceseary, a cold bath until the body
temperature is lowered to arotind 102
degrees Fah rertheit and consciousness
returne. Under nu conditions delay
in calling a physician, for cases of
sunstroke may result fatally, and ex-
pert care must be given at once.

Nature's "Hair Springs."
Does one's hair really "stand on
end" with •fright?
Each individual hair has a tiny
muscle at its root, which, in the or-
dinary way, keeps the hair fiat and in
• position.
The sensation of fright, however,
transmits a message from the brain to
these muscles, with the result that
they pull tight, causlug the feeliug
that th.e hairs are standing bolt up-
right.
In short -haired animals, especially,
these hair musdles are eailly affected.
The hair steeds on end at the slight-
est sign of danger, enabling the ani-
mals to appear larger than'they really
are, and thus—eornetimes, at least,
frighten their enemiee.

Aside by Progress.
