peasant and his wife and four child
rem, while travelling in a sleigh
along the banks Of the Pruth, were
pursued by pack of wolves. The
peasant urged on the horses, but
soon saw tkat the wolves were gain
ing upon him. At the moment
when the sleigh was surrounded by
the ravening beasts, the man seized
one of the children, threw it in the
midst of them, and while the wolves
were struggling over their prey he
FASTENED on his horses and gained
ground. Four times the wolves
came up with the fugitives, and
four times the horrible sacrifice
was repeated. At last the peasant
and his wife arrived at the nearest
village, leaving behind them the
bones of their children In the
of her despair the moth
er informed against her husband,
but the judges considering that if
the peasant had not resigned him
self to the horrible sacrifice he
would not only have lost his child
rem, but also his wife, acquitted
the prisoner.

tinued with more severity than

more mistakes. That Plevna has
fallen is their own fault. Had they
occupied the road to Orchanie with
couple of earthworks and two
army corps, Osman Pasba would
have been cut off from any rein
forcements. The greatest madness
of all, however, was for them to
think of storming intrenchments
like those of Plevna. Next year
