1T WAS A WILD RUN FOR LIFE.
Bicyciist in Russia Pursued by a Pack
of Hungry Wolves.

Mr.. Fred Wisnaw gives in Land and
Water an account of his being chased
by wolves in the district of Pakoff.
He had gone to Russia with a bicycle
and at the time he fell in with the
wolves was on his machine, having

miles in an endeavOr to head" some

two on the return journey, when it
struck me that | ought to alight and
refresh my machine with a few drops
of oil. But hardly was | on foot than,
happening to glance back along the
road, | saw something which at first
sight caused thrill of pleasurable ex-
element, but soon gave place to very
different sensations. Hardly a quar-
ter of mile behind, and coming to-
ward me at the long gallop which COW
ars the ground at a wonderfully rapid
pace, were five large gray wolves. |
saw the leader raise his nose, and,
catching sight of me, cock his ears and
give tongue, just as a dog might.
There was no doubt about the fact;
was being hunted. I was speedily up
and away, and as | caused the pedals

situation was by no means one for tri-

miles or so ! ventured to glance back.

faster than bicycle. The brutes had
gained upon me. They had gained a

Buiwer's Opinion.

One day, when calling at beautiful
villa on the Thames, the author OF

sofa. deeply engaged in book.
what have you got there that in.

"The School for Husbands" she
answered.
You don't mean to say" he replied
that you consider life long enough tt
waste on such unmitigated trash!"

consider it very clever, very smart and
witty. You should look at it again anC
you would discover that you have quite

not necessary to mention-in Batter
sea is always taking medicine. The
10th of last month he brought home
two small bottles.
"What ails you now?" laughed his
wife, who had for years told him he
needed no medicine, the doctor agree
ing with her.
That" he said, pointing to one
bottle, "is appetite medicine. And
she knew that he ate more than any
other man in the neighborhood.
THAT" he said, pointing to the other
bottle, sis sleep medicine"
And she knew he slept soundly from
bedtims until she awoke him in the
morning.
81 hope you may soon recover" she
said.
At night, having taken his medi-
cine, he went early to bed.
"Now for good Sleep" said he.
About midnight he called to his
wife, who was fast asleep:
MARY! O, Mary"
"W-what is it, dear?" she said.

it; I'm hungry as bear"
She did not scold as she cooked him
steak and made some coffee. In the
morning, after taking his medicine, he
sat down at the table to await break
fast.
"I'll eat you out of house and home
now, Mary" said he.
When breakfast was ready she
asked:
Tea or coffee, James,"
But he did not answer He did not
look up. He was sound asleep. She
did not awaken him, perceiving that
this time he had taken the sleep medi-
cine. With staring eyes he sprang
from his chair about noon, and, laugh
ing when he saw his wife smiling, he
threw both bottles as far as he could
into his garden. He never takes med
icine now.-Lond0n It'd Bits.
