In Europe Russia, not far from the sixth parallel of latitude, and some twelve miles from Nikolsk. lived a young peasant girl by the name id' Oatharina Daroskoi. Calharina was a lovely girl—the fairest in all that section—and had many admirers among the rude Russian pesantry, and manv had sought to win the affect ions of the bright-eyed Oatharina; but to Kuric I’etroski she had giv en her heart and hand, and they were to be married Christmas. Our story opens in the month of October. Stern winter, in that high northern latitude, had al ready bound up nature in his iev fetters. A white mantle of snow covered the earth, and hither and thither the sleighs by day llierri ly traversed the thinly settled re gion, while by night the wolves alone roamed over the wide wastes, ravenously seeking what they mightdevour, and woe be tide the beast caught without the fold. Oatharina's father hail [ire pared for the winter. His stock was all housed, and fuel and pro visions laid in. liis family con sisted of himself, wife and three children < bit liarina, IX; Chris tine, I2; and Rudolph, 10, Billie I’etroski, Oatharina’s lie frothed, lived but a few miles distant, and was, as might be ex peeled, a freijuent visitor, Oatharina had an uncle, who, with his family, resided about eight miles from her fathers house. It was an easy stretch in the smooth running sleigh, with the powerful black horse so gen tie yet so strong and enduring, and Oatharina often drove over to her Unde Rudolph's in an hour’s time. Outlie morning of the 12th of October, Oatharina concluded to pay her uncle a visit , and t 'luis tine and Rudolph were to ac company her. They wrapped themselves up warmly in furs and blankets, and the sleigh was brought, oqt by tljeir father, and, soon after sunrise, they started, Oatharina’s father telling her to be sure to come back that night as he wished t<> go to Nikolsk upon business on the morrow. Oatharina told him that they would return without fail, and a way they went, merrily singing a lively song as they rapidly glid ed along over the crisply frozen snow, In an hour's time they were all ensconced at Uncle Rudolph’s close to the blazing pine logs in the capacious chimney, and the black horse was snugly stabled, The day passed away pleasant ly. The sun was not much more than an hour high when the black horse and sleigh were brought out for the visitors’ return. In i cle Rudolph urged them to stay all night, as a heavy cloud was rising in the east, and he was | fearful dial a storm of now I would catch I hem. ••Thai’s a small mailer,” repli ed < ’at liarina. "We can go home before sundown, even if ii, was to i commence snowing now, and we j must go, as lather has business at Nikolsk to morrow, and will want the horse and Heigh ” 'l would have felt easier,’said Unde Rudolph, "as you must go, had you started earlier; for, if night catches you, the wotves you know, are so ravenously hungry now that they would he sure to attack you.” “No danger of night or the wolves either catching Ms. re plied Catharine, gaily, as die jumped into I he sleigh. Christine and Rudolph, Jr., got in after her, and Uncle Rudolph wrapped the blankets warmly about I hem. They gave him and the family, who had come to see them off, a cheerful good by, and away they sped mi their return. Several miles wire traversed, when Calharina became aware ;n W he’ HHH now w; -pi, ~-v. i < in i-1 •m-v. 'u-!'.’'et u m’w., \ no! £>-.* iv! U hen < ’i: ' 1 ho! , 1i 1 in . lv obscured. | few and far bet wed l/ilial, with i the blinding snow driving in her j face, she was fearful that she might not be enabled to keep to ; the properroule; and,to add her to j fears, the horse seemed disposed j (so she thought )fo oblique to the ; right, as if to avoid the snow ithat came whirling and healing in bis face. Oatharina drew I lie | left rein tightly, and ioreed him jto face the driving storm. Now unfortunately, the wind had j changed, and Catherina knew it not. The instinct of the horse was correct, and she was wrong, ills she soon discovered to herdjs i may. The sleigh run Into a deep I gully and capsized, casting its occupants into aluigesuow drill. The gentle horse stopped, obedi cut lo Ihe reins, and Calharina and her youthful companions gathered themselves up, worse I scared than hurt; Rudolph .and , Christie both crying in much a larm . Catharina com foiled them as much as she was able, and they ! net to work to rigid tin* sleigh. This was a task of some dilli ! cully, anil occupied time -pro cions time. When at last they succeeded in getting the sleigh upon its runners, it was a Im.iit half full of snow, and this they had to east out as best they could. | Finally, they all got into the, sleigh once more, and Calharina looked around her. She recog nized the locality, hut was start tied to discove' that they had come at least two miles out of their way,c>o that they \\i re now i fully six miles from home She i headed the horse in the right di | lection, and giving him the reins they started forward once more. Their progress was slow, as the way they were now traversing was uneven and the snow was drifted up in many places, so that lit was dillicitlly to get through ; and Calharina, in much alarm, began to see that njight was ap preaching, and unless they soon | struck the regular track, and hur j tied forward very rapidly indeed. it would overtake them before | they reached home. She now ! wished that she had taken her j uncle’s advice, and remained uu j til the morrow. She lashed the i horse, and lie exerted himscll to j the utmost; yet so deep was the j snow in many places that several times Catharina thought that i they would lie compelled to gel out before tho sleigh could pa.-a through the drift. At last they reached the regu lar route, as Catharina knew by the actions of the horse, lie bounded forward with more free dom, and gave a joyful whinny, expressive of relief. But. .alas! Catharina saw that uigln was closing around them; and she knew, by the clump of fir trees jin the distance, that her home j was yet full four miles away. The snow was not . falling so ! rapidly, and Catharina hoped that, she would be able to gain home ere daylight entirely de parted and -he did not apprehend much danger from the wolves ' until I hen. <)n they sped, and another mile I was traversed when nddenlv j ; Catharina'a heart sank within her in dread, tor he heard the dis taut howl of a wolf; and knew that not many minutes would elapse before it would be on her track, with many more at its heels. The horse heard the howl ol it enemy as well as she, and increased Ids speed to the ut most. Again the howl broke on the terrified Catlmrina’s ear, awl this time it was answered by others. Soon it giew nearer, and Catha riiia wildly mgeU the horne^or Amrv ;n. I u . - euv ■ ' life a- i the some otliei course, an' yelling pack |-ati*r.^^^^H Bui no; on lie came ward them, making belter speed in his terror than it was possible for 110 ir H eightened animal to make. The fierce wolves were just behind him. At last they spring upon him. Some fasten on his side, omc on Ins neck,and he is pulled to the earth within 200 yards of the terrilied oeeu pants oi l lie sleigh. They have reached and passed the clump of lir trees, and Cath arine knows that it is only a mile and a half to her lather’s house. Hope springs up once more, as she sees the horse pulled down behind tlierti, for slie trusts that the ravenous beasts will lie satis j tied fora time with their p>*ey. i But In her consternation, she sees [ that the body of the horse is soon j covered with I lie snarling and ; lighting billies, and I hat numbers' more, without ever halting, rush on after lltem A few seconds more and lliev are frightfully near. Catharina i breathes a prayer to Cod for j mercy, and lings her loot her and i sister closer in her arms. To com [dele the terror of the sit mil ion, ] one shaft breaks, and the sleigh is jerked from -dde to side by the furious bounds of the terrilied horse desperatuly striving to es cape its insatiate pursuers. But alas! by this accident his speed is materially checked, and in. a moment more the savage and bloodthirsty wolves are at the side of t lie sleigh. Catharina gives herself up for lost. She sees the gleaming of the tierce brutes’ wild, yellowish eyes, and hears their long white tusks grinding and snapping, one against another, as if they thirst for her blood. A fearful resolve comes over her. She will arise and spring from the sleigh, and, perhaps, by giving herself as a sacrifice, Christine and Rudolph may be saved. Some of the wolves are already nearly in front, and w ill soon spring in. She grasps the back posts ol the sleigh, and tries to raise herseh up to carry out her fearful reso liltioll, bill Christine clasps her so I igh t, in liei wild ten or, I hat In- cannot ai ise.

But up stairs there were cer tain trunks and boxes that need ed renovating; some of the sum mer clothing was to he packed away and the winter wear got mil and made ready for use. I tied a handkerchief over my head to keep out the, dust, pulled trunks and boxes out of the elos- el and set to work.
