AFRAID TO HANDLE MONEY

OF yielding to temptation. For months they

All this, Mr.. Lewis said, points to tina

ATTACKED BY WOLVES

There were FIVE Of US. We were
Russian explorers who were return.
ing from Siberia. where we had been
sent by the Gar to explore the
Amoor river.
1t was in the year 1886, in the
dead of winter. We did not feel
the cold very keenly. as we had on
two fur coats apiece.
We did not fear anything but a
large pack Of wolves. as we had four
guns. We were five miles from
Moscow, and thinking that al! dam
ger was past, fired our cartridges at
trees.
Suddenly, we heard a bloOd-curd-
ling yelp, and pack of wolves. per-
haps twenty in number, sprang out
of some bushes that were growing
by the roadside.
We had but one cartridge left, and
so Sigurd Thorwaldsen. Norseman
by birth. took aim and killed large
one.
The greedy wolves pounced upon
the fallen animal, and by making
the horses gaIlop. we managed to
gain a few rods, but soon they were
up with US again. We trembled to
think of our sad fate if the wolves
should get on the sleigh.
Just as the wolves were ready to
spring on the sleigh. Sigurd Thor
waldsen said, ''Good-bye, hrethen.
and good luck and jumped into
the midst of the pack of wolves and
fought them savagely. At last he
was killed, after killing :hree Of
them. Our eyes we're wet with
tears, but We were far enough ahead
to get TO Moscow in safety.
We reached the river in safety
and started across. Tie ice was
thin on the further side and we
went crash, through the ice. The
wolves came on, and now they were
racing across the ice.
Just as we reached the shore q
lot of broken ice came down and we
saw the wolves battling with the ice.
The ice was the stronger, how
ever, and they were soon floating
down stream, dead. )
When we reached the palace we
told the story to the Gar.
Never can / forget that night
when we were attacked by wolves.
