Doa and His-Fam-ilg NIGHT inthe woods, strange sounds, screams of small game being killed and devoured by bigger game, and silent feet making their way through the heavy timber. All this and more make up the night life of the wild animal. ' Doa fat least that is the name l shall give himl, was a huge grey wolf, with sparkling eyes and a large shaggy head. He was easily one of the largest wolves ever to wander and live in any woods. His long fangs gleamed in the moonlight, as he sallied forth into the night to get food for himself and Cheta, his mate, who was lying in their lair with six roly-poly little bundles of fur that also had to be fed. ' Doa did not have a hard time finding food, in fact, within half a mile of his den he had satisfied his hunger on a large opossum and a fat porcupine. As he was trotting through the woods, he smelled the sweet aroma of wild turkey, the odor, that brought him up with a jerk, and sent him to stalking the woods in the vicinity. He arrived at the mouth of his lair with the wild turkey slung over his shoul- der and threw it down before Cheta. She growled her thanks and ate the turkey with great relish, while Doa stood and watched her. When morning came, birds were singing and chirping their songs. The sun was beat- ing down, warming the earth and all things on it. Doe was lying in front of the den blinking his eyes and drowsing under the warm glow of the sun, while six furry balls rolled and growled and scratched each other, pretending they were mad. Cheta was stand- ing near the mouth of the den, her long fur glistening under the sun's rays, and her long gentle head appearing to be chiseled out of stone, for Doals mate, Cheta, was a full- blooded dog, a Collie. Doa had met Cheta while out on a hunting expedition during the winter. When he had been hard pressed for food, he had wandered close to a farm, when a large barking dog confronted him. He could have made short work of the intruder, but he did not have time to fight, because he was hungry and there was a farmer coming across the field towards him. He about-faced and tore for the woods. He did not want to feel the sting of a man's firearms again, as he had many other wounds on his hide from them. As he ran, he could hear a wild barking behind him. He slowed down, intending to wait for the pest and kill her, but when she arrived, she wouldn't fight. Doa then trotted off with Cheta close behind. Their puppies were something that every man who is a lover of strength and intelli- gence in a dog would give thousands of dol- lars to have. One puppy in particular stood out among them. He was bigger than the rest, and smarter. He was the first to wander out of the den, all by himself, while his parents were both out of the den on a hunting expe- by Nelson Wareham dition. He went out into the woods one day to get himself a few field mice, but he was met by Cheta and received a few scars on his hide because of that little whim he had for hunting before his time came. Then winter came howling through the forest, snow cov- ered the ground, and game started vacating the forest for new feeding grounds. Came be- came very scarce, and the wolves had very little to eat. Doa became thin and gaunt, and Cheta was just as bad, to say nothing of her offspring. One by one her puppies began to die, until finally only one was left, the strong- est one, who couldn't last forever either. Doa was being driven to his utmost strength to keep the little family alive. He often wan- dered miles and miles from his den in search of food, but none could he find. One day as he was on his endless search for food, he broke out of the woods to stare down upon a little farm. There was the smell of sweet meat coming from the barnyard, so he stalked the farm and entered the barnyard. This was something that no wolf would do unless driven by some exceptional need, such as hunger. He picked out a fat pig that was near the edge of the fence and leaped, but weeks of hunger and searching for food had weakened even his great strength, and he fell short of his mark. There was a wild squeal, and many more after that. While Doa was struggling to regain his feet, two large pigs were bearing down on him. Doa bounded out of their path and spied five little pigs milling around in a corner of the pen. He snatched one of them, and vaulted over the pigpen fence, crossed the barnyard, leaped another fence, and tore for the woods with the lifeless body of a young pig between his jaws. The farmer had heard all the commotion and had grabbed his gun. He ran outside just in time to see a tawny shape leaping over his barnyard fence. He ran to the fence, raised his gun, and fired. Doa turned a complete somersault and then lay still in the snow, the dead pig still firmly held in his jaws. He had given his life for his mate and offspring. Cheta lay in the den shivering and whining, her remaining puppy cuddled between her paws and throat, seeking warmth. Doa had been gone for two days now, and Cheta was sore pressed for food, but the luck of the wild came to her in the form of a deer. A young buck had been lingering about a little too long near the snowy drifts in the woods. As the snow was very deep, a deer had a hard time navigating in it. Cheta was awakened from her freezing sleep by a commotion near her den, and then a low growl and the snap- ping of bones. Cheta knew it was a mountain lion feasting over its kill, so she lay and wait- ed until the lion had gorged himself and had gone someplace to sleep. She crawled from her den with her puppy behind her, went to the kill, and tore ferociously at the warm meat, while her puppy snarled and spit and Icontinued on page thirty-threel
