The spiked jaws of the trap were clutching one of his hind legs. Behind him trailed a log, to which was fastened the trap. Although this impeded his progress somewhat, he bore down upon me with surprising velocity.. Danger of being overtaken was my last thought, but when a good- ly distance in the lead I turned my head to see my pursuer. My foot caught un- der a vine and my body was thrown heavily to the ground. When I at- tempted to rise, my ankle cracked. Frantically I strove to stand, but in vain. My ankle was fractured. Drag- ging the helpless leg along, I sought a tree as a means of escape. Then my spirit froze within me, for, threshing through the undergrowth, uttering ter- rible gutteral grunts, the beast was overtaking me. At last he came so near that it seemed. that his hot breath was singeing my neck. I shuddered, thinking of the gruesome death ap- proaching. In one more leap he would have towered above me, when a hairy form shot out of the bushes straight for the bear's throat. It was Lobo. I cried like a baby over the miraculous deliverance. Then there ensued one of the most terrible- battles I have ever witnessed. Lobo's wolf instinct kept him out of the reach of those terrible armed paws. At every oppor- tunity he would rush if close to the reared beast, tearing a strip from the black hide. The bear soon showed sign of weakening. This encouraged bolder tactics on the part of the wolf- dog. Once, when the aggressed ani- mal seemed to be exhausted, the dog charged in his very face. My head grew dizzy, for the murderous arm had suddenly awakened from its coma and found its mark upon Lobois unpro- tected body. The bleeding dog lay as if he were dead. Now the frenzied beast sought my destruction. With a sickening sureness of his prey, he wabbled towards me. I drew my hunt- ing knife, determined to die fighting. Then a rustle behind the murderer made him hesitate. That pause saved my life. I could have touched him when he stopped. Yes, I was fainting. My head throbbed, my ankle burned. I remember hearing a blood-curdling growl, accompanied by a sharp report of a rifle, then, darkness. VVhen I regained consciousness,.I found myself in a cabin of a hunter. He explained how he had heard the struggle between the- two beasts, also how he killed the bear, but the one thing he told me that I shall never forget was this: When he discovered me prostrate on the ground, Lobo had crawled to my side and was vainly trying to revive me, although his own noble body was mangled and tornf, Gy ' 4 Z ' w f W J I f 0 f .M .

20 ' or'easte12 and went to VVelshburg, where she changed cars, for he was afraid D-r. King might intercept her there. His action was a wise one, for they hail not sat in the little station long until Alice gave a little gasp and her eyes became fixed on the doorway. There stood Dr. King, but he lingered only a moment after john discovered him and then he disappeared into the darkness. To our wonder, Brother John never married Miss Alice, although I'm sure he loved her. About twenty years af- ter this happened I revisited Hillsboro. our family having moved from there af short time after the Hinckles left. I learned this, to my surprise, concern- ing our old friends, the Hinckles. A room had been found under their home, containing a counterfeiting set com- plete. The mystery of the mammoth hammer that had puzzled the town- folk with its thump, thump, thump had been solved. It seemed that the old Dr. Hinckle, with Dr. King as an accomplice, had been counterfeiting money in this un- derground room. The two quarreled and Dr. King threatened to betray the old man unless Miss Alice married him. Hillsboro people were astonished to hear that the Hinckles who had won the respect and trust of everyone in the town, were counterfeiters, al- though they believed that Alice had not been a confederate in the crime, but was in reality the pure, sweet girl she seemed to be. Whether the wicked- ness of her family blasted the happi- ness she and John had planned we never knew. Thus ended daddy's mystery story, which both girls pronounced to be a corker. Lobo HARRY C. HOLMES. The scene is in a cozy lounging room of the Bachelor's Lure, a haven for self-satisfied male creatures. As we enter the room, clouded with to- bacco smoke, our curiosity is aroused by the domestic appearance of those present. One and all are drawn close around a man and a wolf-like dog. The appearance of the biped de- mands no special mention, since he is an ordinary specimen of his genus, but the quadruped, dozing at his feet, commands our undivided attention. He- is massive of frame, muscular of thigh and shoulder, and the symmetry of toti corporis is par excellence. Upon closer observation we perceive that the ani- mal's hazel-brown hide is perforated with ugly scars of past fights. At this point our inquisitive ears pick up the master's story. Yes, boys, Lobo has stayed by me through thick and thin. i As he speaks he caresses the glossy head of the dog at his feet. I Then he continues: I shan't for- get the winter when he and I bunked in our trapping cabin on Black Cat Mountain. It set in snowing 'long about middle of February and by first of March the mountainsides were blanketed with ten feet of snow. Trap- ping promised to be very fruitful. One morning, with a biting temper- ature, I set out to visit some traps which were baited for wolf. On these trips Lobo was staked outside the cabin door, for no wild animals will bother traps scented by a domestic dog. My luck wasn't laudible that morning. The, catch consisted of one lean wolf and several worthless varmints. There remained one trap to investigate, of which I had taken special pains in the setting. On drawing nearer to the lit- tle gully where the trap lay hidden, a queer, instinctive sensation warned me to be cautious. Then, when a few paces away, the undergrowth around seemed verily to spring from its root- ing, and out of the thicket charged a gigantic grizzly bear, At a glance I saw his the leg wh this boi vel wa ly C to l der hea ter Fra vain gin trei spii thrc ribl ove nea wa: thii pro hav fori for crie deli of eve kep teri tun

Q ls. y . P 'jf iii x ji' . , v 30 , APPLIED ARTS SCIENQYE, . ERICH SOBOTA, Editor. THE PARALLELOGRAM OF ' FORCES. f'Wliy should I go to High School? I wanta be an Admiral of the U. S. Navy. High School don't learn you nuthin' about sailinf I'm gonta enlist and learn from the ground up. Yes, Mr. N. E. Beauee, y-ou could learn to navigate, and be an Admiral in such a manner, but why not take a W WWW Wg. R wg g ff ' S short cut through high school, and then a shorter cut through college? High School does teach you some things about navigation. For example, let my explanation of how the Parallel- ogram of Forces Cwhich is causing some students' of physics to worryj is applied in the sailing of a racing yacht, like 'one of those which competed in the races between the English and American yachts, or a fishing smack. Look at this diagram. In sailing againstithe wind, the sail, AC, is turned as you see it in the diagram. The wind is blowing in the direction indicated by the lines from W to AC. The wind will force the boat .to go in the direction N, if the rudder is turned in the direction R. Consider the entire force of the wind W as being concentrated at B and its magnitude represented by DF. Then, applying the Parallelogram Law and constructing a parallelogram with FD as a diagonal or, in other words, resolving the force of the wind into its effective and non-effective components, the effective force which is pushing directly against the sail is found to be equal to LF or FG. But all of the force LF is not ex- pended in driving the boat forward, since the effective component of DF is pulling at right angles to the sail. This effective component is equal to LF or BY, Therefore, resolving the force BY into its components which are acting parallel with and perpendic- ular to the boat, BX is found to be the effective force which is driving the boat forward and BZ is found to be the non-effective .force which is blowing directly against the side of the boat. The force of the wind against the side of the boat, however, is not great enough to overcome the friction of the keel and side- of the boat against the water, thereforeithe boat is driven forward by the effective component. cv th ag svx thi so pa l1l'11 no ba th: 4 u lea on tio C?l is cie ap1 of bri tio bir car mo tha sto ant the in the sen I can not che we stic tist like you tak girl hea fing T forf ing
