“Stop, gospodin, stop! In the
name of the blessed Panagia, tein
up and hear me! You will be glad
to have hearkened, English lord!’’
The crisp, shining Snow cracked
beneath the hurrying feet of the
speaker, as, panting and breathless,
he came bursting through the brush
wood, and emerged from the pine
copse into the road, not a pistol
shot from the two pillars of red
granite brought from the Ural that
decorated the extremity of the ave
nue leading to the country house
hard by. With some difficulty the
driver of the sledge a tall, manly
young fellow, whoso fair hair and
ruddy cheeks contrasted forcibly
with the swarthy sallowness and
black elf locks of the Russian tnou
jilc who had thus suddenly accosted
him—brought the liery horses to a
check.
“Why, Isauo, my good friend,”
he said, smiling, “what news have
you for me that brooks no delay in
the telling?”
“Excellency,’’said the man, with
a vehement earnestness which made
itself felt, “I am here, to-day to pay
a debt. We Busstans have a memo
ry tenacious of kindness, and the
poor vagabond, Isaac Paulovitcli,
has not forgotten that but for youi
intercession, he would have tasted,
before this, of the black bread an i
the knotted thong to Jotouiir jail.
I’ve run, to-day, nineteen versis
through tiie snow, to warn you tliai
the foreigner and the gentleman who
travels the VasilkolT road this
night carries tiis life in tiis hand
I knew you to be on a visit to the ba
ron’s yonder.—He’s in no danger,
but woe to every castle fr in the fer
ry to Boguslaw and Skudra, for they
will be, one and all, in a light flame
before moonrise!”
“There is a rising, then, among
the serfs?” asked the young English
man, eagerly.
“Tuere is,’’ answered the man call
ed Isaac, with a nod. “The people
of twenty villages have sworn the
great oath on rile Gospel to root oui
these Sobieskis and Jagellons, and
tlio rest of the uubaptized Polish
counts and princes that wring the
withers of the poor.”
“Ho you mean Count Nicholas
Galitziu, of Czerugorod?” asked the
young man, growing pale as he
spoke.
“That do I,” replied moujik. “A
heavy account lie’ll have to settle,
the proud”—
But before the sentence was finish
ed the young Englishman had slack
ened tbo reins of his steeds, aud, to
the ineffable surprise of the queru
lous Isauc, the whole equipage rapid
ly disappeared along the road lead
ing to the very district to which his
warning had reference.
In the course of a three years’ res
idence in Southern Russia Edgar
Marston, who was manager of the
Land Bank at Vasilkof a post of
trust to which he had been appoint
ed through the influence of relatives
—had gained a thorough insight into
the condition of the province in
which he lived, arid knew the bitter
hate which the.Bnthenian peasants
entertained toward the land owners,
most of whom were Polish nobles
who had won their estates when Po
land was a wide-spreading kingdom.
Ho knew, too, that Count Galitzin
was personally obnoxious to his late
vassals for a hundred arbitrary acts
and petty exactions, and he trembled
lest lie should not reach the lonely
manor-house in time to give warning
to its inmates of their approaching
peril.
“And Anniette is there!” said the
young man to himself, half uncon
sciously, as he encouraged the met
tled horses to do their best. Yes,
that was the secret of Elgar Mars
ton’s eagerness to give timely notice
of the coming storm to those beneath
the roof of the Galitzin castle. He
had fallen deeply in love with the
count’s young and pretty daughter
the Countess Anniette, as she was
called, in compliance with that
courtlv liussian rule which bestows
titles on all the members of an aris
tocratic family-and he km*w that
his love was reciprocated. He had,
indeed, been formerly on terms of
intimacy with CountGalitzin’shouse
hold, although, on proposing him
self as a suitor for Anniette’s hand,
he tiad been met by a very decided re
fusal.
This short winter’s day was nearly
spent, aud when Elgar reached the
outskirts of the village of Czerngor
od, the sun had sunk beneath the
black sateen of sullen pine trees that,
marked the boundary of the forest,
while through those trees glared an
ominous, ruddy light, and shouts,
shots, and a roar as of an excited
crowd came confusedly to the ear.
“Heaven help tUein! the castle
must be already on fire!” exclaimed
the young man, as he saw a tall col
umn of smoke, streaked by fiery
showers of sparks and burning flakes
rise high in the air. “Wriat, by this,
must be the fate of those within!”
His apprehensions were, however,
destined to be promptly relieved,
since, as he drove by the low boun
dary fence of the count’s gardens, he
heard his name called, and saw An
niette Galitzin herself come running
towards him from amidst the dark
ling clumps of shrubs. Her dark
hair was hanging loosely over her
shoulders, and her little feet, in their
dainty Paris shoes, sank at every
step in the deep snow, making it evi
dent that in her alarm she had darted
forth from the burning manor
house, having barely time to snatch
THE DAILY TIMES.
up the short hooded clonk, lined and
trimmed with costly fur, which she
wore.
“Mr. Marston -Edgar!" sho ex
claimed, with a terrific earnestness,
“oh, pray, save me! Take me with
vou before they seek me out to kill
me. I fee! half dead, already, at the
very sound of their savage shouts
and trampling feet. Papa, thank
H aven, is safe at Vasilkof, where he
and ray dear mother went but yester
day. leaving me here alone with the
German governess, and when the
peasants broke in, Mademoiselle Her
zen thought of nothing but her own
suf 'ty, und fled into the woods,
and”—
By this time Marston had sprung
to the ground, fastened the reius to a
projecting bough, and by a vigorous
effort had sueceded in tearing away a
portion of the ill-kept fence, so us to
establish a gap through which aslen
der figure might iass. Yet n minute
aud Anniette was seated beside him
m the sledge, speeding rapidly away
from the pillaged castle.
A chilly breeze sprang up, and the
evening grew perceptibly cooler; but
the sledge was well provided with
wraps, and Edgar was careful to draw
a heavy furred pelisse around the
trembling form of t he young countess,
while in fond and soothing words, he
tried to calm her agitated nerves.
She was safe. Within an hotiror two
lie should bo able to place her, upon
their arrival at Vasilkof, under the
care of her parents—and that before
the alarm of the serfs should have
spread itself. The horses went well,
the distance was trifling, and—
What interrupted Edgar’s speech
was a fierce snarling cry, accompa
nied by the pattering of feet among
the withered leaves and the snow,
and then a long-drawn, whining howl
that seemed to issue from fifty
throats, while dark objects began to
glance, phantom-like, between the
trees.
“Wolves! wolves!” cried Anniette,
with a shriek of terror; but already
the affrighted horses had set off at a
mad gaiiop, swerving from side to
side of the road in a manner that
threatened to upset the sledge. Again
there burst forth that horrid cry:
Marston exerted his skill and
strength in maintaining a mastery
over the snorting horses, and An
niette, looking fearfully back, an
nounced the unwelcome tidings that
they were pursued.
“You must lie cool, dearest one,
now, for both our suites-for mine,”
said the young Englishman, as lie
cast a glance at the small specks dot
ting the sdow. “You can drive well,
1 know. Only keep the horses to the
road, and all will be well.”
As 1 1io young countess took the
reius Edgar stooped for his trusty
rifle, aud leveled it with deliberate
aim at the foremost wolf, now bound
ing far before the rest. The huge
brute rolled over on the, crimsoned
snow, with a cry of rage and pain
Unit was answered by tho yell of the
uurryiug pack, and then succeeded a
hideous medley, of confused sounds,
followed tiy a period of silence.
“Have they given up the pursuit?”
isked Anniette, with white lips, as
.Marston reloaded his piece.
“No, no !” answered the young
man, shaking iiis head. "The erea
, ures have but paused, as i- ‘heir cus
tom, to devour their wounded com
rade. It is but an instant's breathing
i line which” —
As lie spoke he fired both barrels
into the thick of the advancing pack.
Four more shots from Edgars rifle
orought down as many wolves, but
they were now too near and too eager
in their ravening fury to be beaten
off. The winding of the road, too,
enabled some of the leaders of the
pack to gain upon the fast-tlyiug
sledge, and, with a rare audacity, to
endeavor to overleap its sides, while
Edgar, flinging down the gun, slash
ed at tlio broad paws and hairy
throats with tiie keeu blade ot his
heavy hunting-knife, and succeeded,
though with difficulty, in disabling
tiie two foremost of the assailants;
the third, slightly hurt, slunk howl
ing away ; but, a few yards in the
rear, the clamor of tiie remainder of
the fierce drove told tiow ruthlessly
the chase was maintained.
He rose to his feet and looked to
right and left. Close to tiie roadside
on the left grew a mighty beech tree.
Could ho set his back to that tree,
kill or cripple the first of the furious
wolves, ami swing himself up among
the lower branches, out of reach of
tiie others, he might yet have a
chance of life, while thesledge would
gain so much vantage-ground that it
would not be easily overtaken. Yes,
the desperate venture must be
risked.
Hastily the young man kissed Ari
niette’s cold cheek, and bidding her
be of good cheer, since he had de
vised a stratage m that would outwit
the wolves, he struck the straining
horses sharply with the whip, aud,
with his hunting-knife between his
teeth, took a clear leap over the low
brushwood, and fell on tiis bauds and
knees at the foot of the beech tree.
Goaded by terror, the horses flew
along the narrow road, which fortu
nately at, this part of its course be
came straighter than it had hitherto
been, and the light sledge was hur
ried along as if it had’ been a feather
weight over the frozen snow. A
whirl of confused thoughts passed
through the girl’s brain as with re
lentless speed the sledge darted on,
further and furt her from the spot
where Edgar Marston had sprung
out to confront what appeared to be
inevitable death.
“For ine! for me 1” Anniette mur
mured, as, after a last despairing ef
fort to rein in the unmanageable
steeds, she cast a glance back at the
white road, now gleaming, as tiie
sledge emerged from the woodland
into the open country, in the first
ravsofanewly risen moon.
The seared horses needed no urging
to strain every ainew in the race as,
snortingand gasping for breath, they
dashed iutA the wide, straggling main
street of Vasilkof.
In the spacious market-place or
public square of the town a .crowd
hud collected, in the midst of which
the light of a number of torches fell
on the glistening bayonets of steel
and the bright brass mounting of mil
itary accoutrements. A column of
the flat-capped, gray-eoated infantry
of the Russian line was preparing to
march, while a cavalry escort encom
passed two or three carriages mount
ed on sledge-runners, and to each of
which three or more horses had beeu
harnessed.
“Halt, there! halt, I say!” called
out a sentry, roughly, as the sledge
that bore Anniette swept like a whirl
wind across the market-place, scat
tering to right and left in dismay all
who barred its frantic course. Among
those who had been present when
the sledge crossed the square had
been the old Count and Countess Ga
litzin. They had recognized their
daughter’s pallid face as she was hur-

ried past, and within a few moments
the half-minting girl was in the arms
of her parents, and surrouuded by
friends aud well-wishers, who seemed
disposed to welcome her as one risen
from the dead.
“We were about to set out for Czern
gorod,” the count explained, when
Anniette appeared to be sensible to
her mother’s caresses anil endearing
words, "with the escort with which
the kindness of his Excellency, the
Governor, had provided us, hoping -
but hardly daring to hope, my lamb
—that you would have been spared
in the first outbreak of the fury of
those serfs, of which the news reach
ed us but an hour ago. Troops are
about to march for the scene of the
revolt, but, since you are safe—though
through what marvelous piece of
good fortune I cannot conjecture.”
“It was through no such fortune,”
interrupted Anniette, piteously; “it
was his lifo—his gallant, noble life,
dearer to me than tny own, that he
gave to save me—wretched me! Yes,
I am safe, but at what a price!”
And here a darkness came before
her eyes, and her voice failed, as she
sank fainting into the arms of her
mot her; but soon, as if nerved by the
recollection of Iter lover’s danger,
she roused herself to tell, in broken
accents, what had occurred, to indi
cate the place where she left him,
and to implore that rescue might be
sent thither without delay.
In spite of dismal forebodings, it
was determined that not an instant
should bo lost in carrying help to
Edgar Marston, if human help could
indeed avail ; and about thitrv gen
tlemen, some in sledges aud others
on horseback, set off at a rapid pace,
escorted by twice as many of the
mounted Cossacks, the Governor hav
ing decided to delay the marching of
the column until some tidings should
arrive as to Edgar’s fate. The dis
tance was rapidly traversed, and as
the exploring party entered the for
est, a wild, mournful sound came
floating on the night wind.
“They are there yet, the pack of
them,” cried old Baron Jagellon,
spurring his horse and handling his
gun. “Push on and let us pepper
someof their gray hides at any rate.”
But wolves are cuuuing as well as
fierce, and when the rescuers came in
sight of the great beach tree around
the foot of which the pack had gath
ered, howling uud whining over some
object at first indistinctly visible,
their querulous cry changed into a
note of alarm, and they huddled
themselves together among the chest
nuts and birches, with their bushy
tails drooping, and their bright eves
siiining through the darkness like
points of flume. An irregular dis
charge of musketry succeeded, while
the Cossacks lowered their lances,
and dashed forward with their shrill
“hurrah!” as though charging
against human foes. Neither lance
nor bullet did execution among the
wolves, who, fairly cowed, slunk off
into the recesses of the woods, while
the headmost horseman checked bis
wiry steed lint just in time to prevent
horse and rider from falling head
long into a deep narrow pit dug at
tiie foot of the lingo beach tree.
“What wizard’s work have we
here?” exclaimed the soldier as he
wheeled his horse. “My name isn't.
Dimitri if I did not hear a groun
from yonder open grave!”
“Grave, forsooth !” returned Baron
Jagellon, hastily dismounting; “it is
a bear trap, such as peasants set in
likely spots, near where the honeyof
some swarm of wild bees that dwell
in hollow trees is sure to tempt bruin
to the pit-fall. And, as I live,” he
added, after listening for a moment,
“there is some ouo down there, and
alive —young Marston, for a thousand
gold eagles!”
And when, by means of a rope
hastily constructed by linking to
getherstirrup-leathers and buff-belts,
a Cossack was lowered into the pit,
the truth of this conjecture was con
firmed ; for Edgar Marston, pale, livid
and exhausted, but to all appearance
unhurt save for a bruise upon his
right temple, was drawn forth from
it. The bystanders crowded round
him, but he was faint and weak.
Edgar’s story, when lie was üble to
tell it, was a simple one, and had al
ready been anticipated by that ma
tured sylvan experience of tho baron.
When he sprang from the sledge
it had been with a full conviction
that he was about to save Anniette’s
life at the sacrifice of his own. He
had, however, made a desperate ef
fort to reach the great beach tree, in
tlio poor hope that, by setting his
back against it and making vigorous
use of his hunting-knife, he might
gain time to grasp one of the lower
boughs and draw himself up beyond
the reach of the wolves. But to his
consternation the treacherous sur
face on which he alighted, and
and which was composed of rotten
branches coated with moss and dried
leaves, gave way beneath his feet,
and lie was precipitated into the nar
row pit below, receiving as he fell a
blow on tho head from a projecting
stake which stunned him for a mo
ment,, and when he recovered his
senses it was to bearthe furi ras yelp
ing and howling of the disappointed
wolves that raged (around the brink
of his prison, and to see by the gnash
ing teeth, as they bent over tho edge
and vainly tried to seize the prey Be
neath them.
The tale is told. Tho prejudices
which had induced the Count, and
Countess Galitzin to object to Edgar
as a suitor for their daughter’s hand,
melted like snow in tiie sun when
their hearts were touched by the
generous self-suorifloe of tho gallant
young man, whose praises were on
every hand.

A couple of blonde young men who
had not, arrived at tlio dignity ot a
downy upper lip were lately drawn
into a duel-farce in the solitude of
summer, near Atchison, lias. One
was un Atchison blonde, tho
other was a Chicago drummer,
aud both making love to the same
girl in Atchison. A mutual friend got
up the duel, in solemn form, and the
parties and seconds and surgeons
proceeded in dark hearse-like car
riages in tlio early morning light to
the deep woods of summer—a place
which appears like a town on real
estate plats, but which is only fit for
dark deeds and grave yards. Double
barrelled shot, guns at ten paces
would bo deadly if loaded, and fired
in tho direction of an antagonist, but,
the young men stood the arrange
ment, faced each other and fired at
tho, word. Then the mutual
friend roared with laughter that
thrilled those solitudes. Tho princi
pals stood gazing at each other with
blank amusement that they were
alive and after the noise they made,
and marveled at the crazy conduct of
their friend. Ho now explained him
self us well as ho could for laughter.
The puns were loaded with blank
cartridges and all for his sport. He
wanted to see if tlio boys really meant
carnage and would shoot. The ridic
ulous situation dawned upon ono of
tho youths and in great rage lie
pulled a revolver from his pocket and
commenced raining real shots at the
mutual friend, whose nimble logs
saved his life. He ran from the gory
field and refused to tako either of the
carriages back to Atchison. Ho had
enough fun for one day, but, has not
felt it safe to be seen in the streets
since. The foes shook hands over
their differences, have discarded their
mutual friend and agreed to draw
straws for the girl.
