Th VnJy man In Wirt, Minn., that can play a flddl worth whlla la Henry Hlnkena, a homeiteadcr, whose ervlor arc always In demand whenever the lumberjacks rive a dance, which they did the other night at Houpt After Hinkens had eaten his supper and done the evening chorea a&out his place be put his kit under, his ann and started on the eraa-mlie tramp through the woods to Jloupt. There was considerable anow on the ground, the thermometer was hoverin about the sero mark and the sky was clea and brilliant with stars. Hinkens trudge along the lonely trail, whistling the Ules dance tune and occasionally slapping his Imnds together to keep them warm. lie had gone but a couple of miles when he haard the distant bay, of a wolf. He paid no attention to It. for wolves are com mon In this section and rarely attack a man unless pressed by hunger. Neverthe less, when he heard several answering howls Hinkens quickened his pace and oc caatonally Utrew aa apprehensive giauce over his shoulder. It was not long before he discovered that half a dosen big gray fellows were trotting down the trail after him, only a few hundred yards away. The homesteader was unarmed, and, see ing a giant pine, partly broken off by the wind, near the trail, divided to ascend It In the hope that the wolves would pas him by unnoticed. He reached the top of the stump, a trlflo over six feet above the level of the snow, none too soon, for the band of wolves, Inutend of passing on down the trail, followed his footsteps to the foot of the pine. and. seeing their prey treed, sat down on their haunches and awaited developments. , ' Nothing happening, one big fellow, appar ently the leader of the band, suddenly leaped at Hinkens' feet, welch were bang ing carelessly down the side of the tree trunk. Henry drew them up Just In time to escape having his flesh nipped, and then the rest of tM band began to follow their leader and see how near they could come to nipping the treed homesteader. Hinkens hgan to find their amusement rather tiresome, and, remembering to have heard somewhere that there Is a charm in mii.t. whlnk utn K . ' u t t , Vlded to try. the effects of a tune upon the K wives. He unloosened his kit. drew the fiddle to his chin. and. after a little pre liminary tuning up, started in with his favorite, "Teasing, Teasing, I Was Only Teasing You." The effect upon the brutes was Instan taneous. They stood stock-still for an in stant with ears pricked up as if curious to know whence came the lively music. Then the full force of the cutchy ragtime seemed to strike them, and, swaying their bodies in unison with the notes of the music, they began what Hinkens afterwards said waa the best imitation of a cake walk he had ever seen. The big gray leader waa espe cially active, and cut more tajitaatlc pigeon wings than the biggest "buck" that ever led a walk. By the time "Teasing" was finished Hin kens had warmed to the work, and struck into the "lilue Danube" waits, and again the timber wolves " perfor med their gyra tions in unison with the music. Hinkens likes to fiddle ; with him It is a labor of love. Bo he continued to rlay, walls following waits, with a two-step thrown in now and then and an occasional divergence to raytime. And still the wolves leaped snd bounded to the strains of the mualo. Apparently It had become a contest between man and beast to see which would tire first. Hinkens felt that his reputation waa at stake, and sawed tune alter tune out of his fiddle with such vigor and animation that he did not notice the lapse of time. When, however, the lumberjacks were ready to begin their dance, they found their fiddler was absent, and a party of them started down the trail to look for him. They had gone about half the distance when they were puizled to hear the strains of a waits wafted on the night air from the woods a little off the trail. They started to Investi gate and discovered Hinkens perched on top of the tree stump fkldllng away for dear life. Five big gray wolves were stretched out on the snow, apparently dead, while one Im mense fellow was circling round and round with flattering step and drooping head, try ing In vain to keep time to the exhilarating strains of the waits which was flowing under Hinkens' skillful manipulation of the bow. They gave a shout, and Hinkens dropped his fiddle to the ground, and him self followed it. His arm was so tired he could scarcely raise It, but he was able to whlvpr in a husky tone: "I outstayed 'em, anyhow." The wolves were speedily dispatched and Hinkens was lifted on the shoulders of the stury "Jacks" and carried to the dance hall, where he played for the balance of the nlghU New York World. LEAD PIPE CINCH BUGS Millions of Little Wlgsrlers Eat Iaan latloa from Electric Light Wires. Electrical engineers and fire underwriters interested in the Union stock yards, Chicago have "gone bughouse" over the advent of unidentified larvae swarming certain sec tions of packing plants and Insisting on feeding upon the lead pipe Insulation of electric wires. Biting off no more lead than they com fortably can chew and easily digest, thess brown, hairy little wigglers, each five eighths of an inch long and of svelte figure, are moving through the "hoof" housrs at the yards, gnawing irregular patches of lead, often cutting through the cloth and rubber Insulation and short circuiting the electric current. Holes an inch long and half an Inch wide have been cut through one-tenth Inch thick ness of hard pipe. Under the microscope this cutting shows Infinitesimal lines where the larvae's incisors have marked the edges of the holes. "The lead pipe cinch" bug is the designa tion given the creature by Director Fred J. V. Skiff ef th Field Columbian museum. In whose entomological laboratory this lit tle lead eater Is under observation. William J. Gerhard, assistant curator of the division of entomology, who has a small handful of the whiskered little squirmers In a domestic cigar box n the laboratory, accepts the Judgment of his chief that the creature has Just that kind of cinch. But since the little lead eater has been under scrutiny of the laboratory, with a side or der of cake from a nearby reetiurant placed conveniently In the cigar box. Mr. Oerhanl can't Induce the Insect to eat any more lead pipe. " 'The cake may be a little heavier?' that's so; I hadn't thought of that," said Mr. Gerhard, dragging an Index finger thoughtfully across his brow. It is In the "hoof" house at the yard" that the little creature has appeared l millions. These .houses are for the storag.i of hoofs that are under way in the pro cesses toward glus manufacture. In th houses the floors are cf wood, three or four Inches thick.. Yet this hairy worm ha honeycombed them in Its search for lead pipe. Danger from fires caimed by the short rlrcuitlng of electric currents caused N. A. Burleigh, inspector for fire underwriters, to carry a consignment of the larvae, pupae and beetles over to Mr. Gerhard at the lab oratory.; A cross section of the guawt4 lead pipe and wiring, cut from one of these buildings, were enclosed in the box for luncheon purposes, but the little pests hare disdained it and feasted exclusively oa Hyde Park restaurant cake. It has been a question whether the larvae had not been eating away the lead In order to get at the canvas or the rubber Insola tion, but it is the consensus of opinion in the laboratory that it would be a fool bug that would gnaw away seventy grains of lead to get four bites of cloth Insulation, especially when . the larvae would rather have restaurant cake anyhow. So great have been the ravages of these larvae upon the lead Insulation In the hoof houses that already new Installations of electric wires are being conducted in gas pipe protection. Borne of the floors of the houses are so bored and weakened that cement will have to take the place of the wood. Chicago Tribune. One Klnd-lteartr4 ban Wear.
