CHAPTER XIV.
A Mutual Recoonition.

1t was the close of winter day-a
winter day in Siberia. Heavy SHOWS
had been prevailing for a week, and
the roads were, in some places, al
most impossible from the drifts. The
winds howled mournfully through the
pines. and ever and anon there was
borne the sound that of all others
sends the most fearful dread to the
heart of the lone traveller in Siberia
the blood-curdling cry of pack of
famished wolves.
But the bowling of the wolves and
the piercing blasts of the wind had no
terrors for two men who sat in the
large hall of an etape or exile station
on the road from Chitka to Nertch-
insk. Copious draughts of steaming
hot vodka sat on the table before
them, while the warm atmosphere of
the apartment was in decided con-
trast to the bitter temperature which
prevailed out of doors.

Engineers Peculiar Experience While
Working in Africa.

A young civil engineer named Fox
had thrilling experience while super
intending part of the construction Of
the great bridge over the Zambezi riv-
er at Victoria falls, Africa. He had de-
scended TO the waters edge and to as
sist him to ascend rope was thrown
to him. AS he was being drawn up
ward the rope was dragged through a
huge. greasy fungus. Both the rope
and the young engineers hands be-
came fabricated. He began to slip
and then lost his grip entirely. He
slid rapidly down the entire length of
the rope, eighty feet, and then twenty
feet through the air beyond. He
would have been dashed to pieces at
the bottom Of the precipice had the
fork of tree not caught him and held
hin. Here he was rescued with much
difficulty. No bones were broken.
Even this experience did not cause
Engineer Fox to lose his nerve. for he
