Kweichow, July 16. various areas of the province of Kweichow wolves are fairly pien tiful, and in times of famine their numbers increase to such an extent fas to become a real menace to the people. Some stories are told bby missionaries of the ferocious at tacks on man and beast made by these wild prowlers of the darkness.
"Two travellers overtaken by the darkness and unable to reach the regular stopping place took shelter for the night in an old deserted shack by the roadside. Tired their tramping the men soon felt fast asleep. During the night three wolves prowling through the country' found the sleepers "and made a vicious attack upon them. The older man was killed outright, but the younger man fought desperately for his life and finally man owed to drive the wolves away. In the struggle he wes badly scratched and bitten about the face, neck, and arms and received tone ravage bite in the neck which eft a gaping hole about the size of a hen's egg which required several stitches.
The missionary to whom the wounded man appealed for help did not have any anesthetic, but as the ease needed immediate attention the man lay down on the dining table and with scarcely a moan permitted the wound to be sewn up. His recovery was rapid and ever afterward he was grateful for the help he had received that eventful day.
One cold winter night two little beggar boys took shelter on the ver andah of a missionary's home. Dur ing the night the "inmates "were aroused from their slumbers by cries Outside and rushing downstairs they' opened the door and saw a large child, wolt making off with the smaller'
On one occasion a wolf more dar-_ ing than usual entered a dwelling house and, grabbing, the sleeping baby in its mouth, started off down the pathway. The child's cries aroused the villagers who, armed with sticks and clubs, started in. hot pursuit, The wolf ran faster than the villagers, but every now and: lien the wolf had to lay down its burden in order to get a better hold. This was repeatedly necessary and] finally the wolt was overtaken and the baby saved. The brute's teeth had done but little damage. as the wadded. garment in which the baby was clothed had protected if, hi the harrowing experience caused tine villagers to be always on'their guard against o similar attack, round him.
