team. Doukhobors seldom learn to
straddle horses; they think that
would be to impose on them. And
the Vianovitch boys would have con-
sidered it. very wicked, anyway, to
burden their dumb friends, and so
lessen their chances of safety.
When the horses started galloping,
about half the wolves were racing
towards the sleigh, the others watch
ing the boys. But all ran after the
horses, bowling in full cry.
Simeon and Alexis ran back to the
sleigh. Knowing just what they
meant to do, there was little talk be-
tween them.
"They will be back in ten Or fif-
teen minutes" said Simeon.
"You mean if they don't catch the
horses?"
''No Gear of that. Our men will
see the horses coming. They will
hurry out to save them. Then the
wolves will turn back to us.
The boys spread their loose straw
in a wide circle about the sleigh
They kept four torch ropes burning
while they pitched out every rec
of the barbed wire except one.
Then they loosened the ends o1
two coils. They, wove the wire al
round the top of the sleigb-bo1
turning it twice around each Of the
six side stakes. Next they tied dowr
the top strands by strands passing
down and up again, holding the hor
izontal wires in connection with tht
uprights of the runners
Then they hurried to weave thu
barbed wire crisscross over the box
securing it to the upper and ent
! strands, not by passing it continuous

but by tying It on the top or round
