to deliver ourselves up to him when he
should be backed by some force or other"
'tOh! that would be odious ~ cried Yegor.
what shall we do? Shall we set out in
pursuit of them without loss Of time? But
I am annihilated, incapable of walking a
step. Let US examine the tracks on the
snow
They lighted their lantern, for night had
come on, and went out.
The snow was trodden all around the
hut The footprints led to a mound, be-
hind which it was easy to see that sledge
drawn by several reindeer had been sta
toned. From thence they could follow over
the hardened snow the direction taken by
the sledge.

fought for them while had life 1t must

'sBut" said the Partisan, suddenly, "the
sledge has not gone towards the Russian
possessions"
''You are right, answered Veg0r, aston
ished that he himself had not noticed this
fact
"At this advanced hour and fatigued as we
are, it would be difficult for us to set out.
Believe me, Yegor, it is better for US to wait
until tomorrow, In the meanwhile, per-

will seize upon us-come,"

What sad evening that was, passed at
the corner of the fire, while the winter wind
blew violently without
Yegor and M. Laf1eur looked at each 9TH

full reflections. They had loyously brought
all sorts of provisions, but they touched
nothing.
Gwen the dog, murmured Yegor, ''even
the dog-all gone! It is inexplicable. Wab
would never willingly have followed Yer
mac. What are we to thinks What must
we decide upon2"
AT this moment they heard q barking out
of-doors
ut is the Siberian dogs, said NJ. Lafeur.
Yegor listened attentively.
'tNo; it is Wab, said he, rising; 'sbut the
animal is worried by something perhaps
wounded"
And he opened the door Of the hut.
It was, indeed, Wab. The creature bound
ed in and laid at its masters feet the little
silk embroidered reindeer skin bag which
the Tchouktchis had stolen from them few
days before.
Look" cried Yegor. ''Those beggars
who came here have had something to do
with our misfortune Wab has brought
back the bag they robbed us Of. The ami
NAL must have followed Nadege to their
village"
Wab leaped upon Yegor, licking his hands
and uttering little cries of Joy. The young
man caressed the animal with a tenderness
justified by the fidelity and intelligence if
had displayed.
''We noticed, 7 said NJ. Lafeur, 'that the
