CHAPTER Ivl-Continued.
The wolves were closing in upon
him.
They we're on all sides. famished,
bowling pack of devils, their white
fangs and fiery eyes showing with hor-
rihle distinctness as they sprang at
him.
The rife. swung with all his
strength from left to right, and from
right to left, cleared a path for him
and no sooner did one OF the brutes
fall than a score of its fellows literally
tore it in pieces.
Alexis was becoming exhausted.
It was too much for hin. in his weak
ened state.
One of the wolves. one larger than
the rest. made a bound for MS
throat, but before it reached him sank
in death agony with a bullet in its
brain.
At the same moment, by the over
turned sleigh, Alexis caught sight OF
the object of his heroic quest.
1t was a woman!
With white face she stood there.
by the sleigh. Shot after shot rang
out. and as each time, with unerring
arm. the bullet lodged in the body of
a wolf, she gained moments respite
from the cowardly brutes.
But the end was bound to come.
The last shot but one had been
fired.
AS If by some devilish instinct the
wolves seemed to know that their vic
tim was now defenseless, and they pre-
pared for a rush in all the strength
OF their numbers.
With howl that could have been
heard a league another pack of the
brutes had come down from the hills
and joined the others.
Then it was that the helpless wom-
an uttered the wild shrek of agony
that had reached the ears of her res
cuer-had reached even to the courier
in the etape.
Alexis sprang for& He found
that the arm was a magazine rifle.
and with prayer of thankfulness he
opened fire. Shot after shot, perfect
fusilade followed. and half dozen of
the brutes were lying bleeding In the
snow.
Another moment and he had
reached the woman. His face was
covered with blood, his arms were
torn, but he clasped her by strong
effort and began the retreat to place
of safety.
Repulsed by the shots, tho wolves
had given way for a time, and then
had made a simultaneous rush to
feast on the carcasses of those slain
by Alexis.
But the feast did not last long
Maddened more than. ever by the
taste of blood, they sprang after AL
exis and his now unconscious bur-
den.
"He has saved him. shouted the
courier at the moment, as he caught
sight of Alexis, and then as he looked
again he exclaimed: MY God, it is
woman! Men, men! to the rescue."
The soldiers waited no longer. The
fact that woman was in danger
seemed to awaken all that was manly
in their natures and they rushed to
the rescue.
Another moment and it would have
been too late.
A volley met the first of the fero-
cious. maddened brutes. The pack
halted for moment. and gave long
howl of rage. Another volley checked
another forward movement. Alexis
staggered along with his burden.
Two of the soldiers sprang to his
side
The doors of the etape were thrown
Open,
In another moment, bruised and
bleeding and faint, Alexis Nazimoff
staggered into the room; the courier
held out his arms to receive the sense
less woman from her rescuer. Alexis,
with a sigh of unutterable relief
breathed prayer of thanks, and then
