This arrangement was made with
good results, and for several miles they
progressed with little cause for alarm.
Then suddenly there came something
which made Bob's heart jump. It was
no movement or sound from the ice.
From the bank above and not far behind
came a short bark, then prolonged
howl, followed by another and another.
They were still four miles from home.
The January sky had clouded thickly
and it was growing dusk on the river.
He had said that he was not afraid of
wolves, but there was something in
this dismal chorus and gathering night
that made him bound forward and
| overtake his sister.
"The wolves!" he gasped. "A pack ot
them!"
The girl seized the rope without a
word and in spite of the cracking and
swaying ice they leaned forward to-
gether at the top of their speed.
But they were not swift enough.
They could tell by the voices that the
wolves had descended to the river and
realized that they were gaining. Bob
| drew his fathers revolver and fired two
| shots over his shoulder. This checked
the bowling for brief moment and
they believed the pursuers had hest.
tated. Perhaps in this way he could
keep them back long enough. He had
four more more shots and they were
still more than four miles from home.
Suddenly Liza stumbled and gave a
low cry. Her strap had broken again
and her skate hung uselessly on her
foot.
"Oh, Bob! we're lost!" she cried
speaking now for the first time.
The boy whipped out his knife and
cut the strings that held the bundles
on the hand sled.
Get on!" he commanded, as he
thrust the packages aside.
The girl obeyed and in another mo-
ment they were speeding away again
| though less rapidly than before.
The girl on the sled loo ed back uI
the river where she could see dark
mass in the dimming light.
"Give me the pistol, Bob!" she
called.
He reached it back to her, and when
the dark mass drew nearer she fired into
it. There was yelp, and brief pause
Then the pack moved forward again
bowling now and then in concert. When
| they reached the packages they
paused again and seemed to be fight
ing. This gave the fugitives little
better start, and Liza felt encouraged
Then the dark mass came rushing on
again and her heart sank. She had three
more shots in the revolver, and when
the band was few yards behind she
fired one of them and little later the
second. Just before she fred the third
she felt the ice beneath the sled crack
and give alarming]y. She realized that
they were on rifle, where the ice was
always thinner than elsewhere, owing
to the swiftness of the water, and she

WHEN BABY coMEs-Ahn coEe

When baby comes
What glad parade,
What happy tippings
To and fro;
While mother lies
A smiling queen
And holds court
For young my lord;
And lauds him king
OF every heart
When baby comes.
When baby goes
What sad parade.
What hushed tippings
To and fro.
While mother weeps
A dazed thing,
Her baby holds
His solemn court.
His brow is crowned
With silence, awe,
His mute sweet lips
Give no commando:
But lord and lady
Weeping bow
When baby goes.
When baby comes
What glad surprise
That love has shaped
Itself king.
A rosy king,
With dimpled hands
That signal oft.
Are oft obeyed,
BY lord and lady,
Great and small
When baby comes.
When baby goes
What sad surprise
That death has claimed
Our baby king.
Our marble king,
Whose dimpled hands
Make signal none.
But all obey.
Pathetic, white, :,
And motionless, A~'
His tiny hands
Bid all to weep
