A Samoyed Feast.

When I returned in the afternoon to
the choom in driving storm OF sleet,
I found Vassili and his wife in great
fettle. He had killed deer in the morn
ing. and they had been indulging in one
Of their big feeds. In fact, as | sledged

only lust concluding three hours feast
Souatting on skins, they had a rough
piece of plank in front Of them on which
Law the stomach of a reindeer. This was
almost full Of blood, drained from the
deer-in fact, it formed their coup tn
reen. They each had hind leg, ON
which some Of the hide still remained,
and cutting off chunks Of the meat were
dipping them in the crimson soup and
then greedily swallowing the bonnie
bouche.
As fitting background to the pic-
ture pieces Of the carcass, still dripping
with blood. hung all round the interior
of the choom. On the ground were
small, dark pools of blood, and my
sleeping bag, though as we'll out of the
way as the size Of the interior would al
low, was we'll sprinkled with the same
natural dye. As they sat there grinning
welcome to me, with their cheeks and
brows all smeared with gore, they look

Mr.. Gould said nothing, but,

he gave them to the steward, and
turning toward the depot, walked
rapidly back to his train.
'The seward entered the church,

what the Lord had done, and the
people sang the DOxolOgy on their

streets to flud the stranger.
They soon found out that the
little man was none other than Jay

only a cIOud of dust on the far

a warm blush spread over her fair,

a little town about fifty miles west
of Fort Worth, with the regular

two hours would elapse before they
would run again, and that they
had ample time to see The sights

their attendants, took in the town.
