A MIDNIGHT WOLF HUNT

USTRIAN Poland—that portion of it at least which would constitute the bat- tle ground in the event of & war with Russia—has for many years been a sub- ject of great public inter- est. Beyond the track or ken of the ordinary tour- ist, and comparatively un- disturbel by the shriek and rattle of the railway trains, it has remained a terra incognita to

| all except tne officers and troops charged

with the duty of guarding the frontier, and to the few great nobles who dwell in gran- deur in the magnificent castles which here and there crown the rocky eminences and The boun-

closely guarded by vegiments of Cossacks on one side and by Austrian lancers on the other, and the surrounding country, being extremely wild and but sparsely populated by a half-civilized peasantry, and being, moreover, infested with wild beasts, the life of the officers detailed for frontier duty is often fraught with much danger and ad- venture,

A few years ago, in the month of August my regiment, the —th Lancers, wasordered to leave its pleasant quarters in Vienna,and proceed, to W——, for the purpose of re- lieving the —th Regiment of Lancers on the Russian frontier, and four weeks later we reached our station on the border of the steppes. The country appeared extremely desolate, with villages few and far between immense plains of grain and grass ; large forests of pines, through which the wind moaned piteously. The villages where we

| Were quartered was rather picturesque. a ; ' | The peasants’ huts, built on both sides of a

broad, muddy road, were painted blue, yellow or pink, and were shaded by groves of birches and willow trees. The nearest town was a nineteen hours’ ride over exe- crable roads, and when finally reached was

| but a miserable place, which did not repay

the long journey. When we arrived at our destination we looked rather disconsolately at the bare, damp, weeden barracks which our predecessors had left in a very umpre- possessing conditien, and we shoul@ have given up the attempt of ever heping to make our abode even moderately habitable had it not been for the cheerful and light- hearted manner in which young Princess M——, the wite of our colonel, who had been adventurous enough to sccompany her husband into @his voluntery exile, accepted all the hardships of the situation.

The young Princess, whe was of French birth, had been married at sixteen to emr colonel, Prince M , and at

the time of which I am writing was about eighteen years old. She was a small, slender, lovely girl with a fair white skin, golden-brewn hair, large, dark grey eyes, and @ fragile frame, which, sowever, seem- ed steeled against any kind #f fatigue. She was one of Empress Elizabeths favorite ladies in waiting,and it wae only with diffi- culty thet she had obtained from her Im- oS mistress permission to follow her usband into the wilds of foland. Shesaid that she considered it te be her duty to come with us, and to cheer us in our des- ponderey. God bless her for her unselfish- ness amd courage in ceming! For the monthe which we spent on the frontier would ave been well-nigh unbearable with- out her constant and vatiring efforts to make both soldiers and officers look at the bright side of things. When she ap- peareé among us with her memories of _ #is, her joyful animation, her sweet, gav,

Sslivery voice ana ner greav eycs sparking alike with mirth and with health, every face brightened, and the dullest hours were changed into dreams of wonderland. How could we complain of the privations which this petted Court beauty accepted so un complainingly and with such happy grace ” She arranged her suite of miserable rooms inatruly marvellous fashion with heavy carpets and draperies, concealing the dingy walls beneath mellow-tinted, Eastern em broderies, and littered the tables and co

soles with books and bric-a-brac until

rmbtil tne

place resembled a palace. Although such a small creature, she had an_ indomit- ble spirit, and was a famous sports woman. She shot, fished, drove and rode better than any woman I have ever known. She ~ was passionately fond of the most dangerous of sports,

and even made a point of sharing our bear and wolf hunts. She was not ove of those women who are apt to hamper men by re- quiring protection and attention in moments of danger, for she could be depended upon to see to her own safety under any kind of circumstance, and possessed such pluck and courage that she never gave us any trouble whatsoever. Moreover, she was contin- ually planning some amusement or other to enliven the long winter evenings, and even succeeded in organizing some private theatricals for the special benefit of our soldiers and their wives. So the months passed and winter came on—a bitter, cold winter. Sudden storms and heavy falls of snow had whitened the plains and bared the dark forests of the Carpathian range. The icy wind blew like a hurricane, and the wolves came down in hungry bands to the

| lonely steppes. The whole landscape wag frozen and dazzling! The great stars seemed to burn in the northern

sky, and the rays of the silverly moon made the night almost as clear as day. The intense cold, the sweeping wind, the sense of profound solitude that environed us, exer- cised a salutary effect upon officers and men, and we plunged withenthusiasm intothe win- ter sports which were our only relaxationand amusement. We spent most of our days out of doors in violent exereise, riding, sleigh-

ing or skating in the teeth of the east wind;

skimming like swallows down the frozen course of the river. No doubt the country was monotonous and bare, and yet with its vast white solitudes, its flocks of wild fowl, its reedy wastes, its countless frozen streams, it was grand in its own peculiar way. As soon as the hush of winter had settled down around us our little Princess got into the habit of having four black stal- lions harnessed to her sleigh, and wrapped in furs to ‘her eyes she would drive her high- mettled steeds over the silent plains, stop- ping at the huts of the poorest peasants and bringing light and comfort with her wher- ever she went. Little by little she won her way inte the homes and hearts of the half- savage and suspicious people. She was not easily discouraged or rebuffed, and she did much good among the poer and also among our seldiers.

In January the inhabitamts began te com- plain bitterly of the depredations -commit- ted by the wolves, and the Princess urged usttoe organize a wolf hunt on the next clear moonlight night. The wild beasts were infuriated by hunger amd@ ready for any- thing. On the fifteenth of January we started in two sleighs which were drawn ‘by young and swift horses and driven by wlever and skillful coashmen. The Prin- @ess’s coachman was a Russian, who emit- ted a peculiar sound, something between a whirr and a whistle, that seemed te have a anagical effect on the team, and every few minutes he employed tkis incentive with eo good a result that we seon left far behind us the sleigh containmg our conpaniens. As my good fortune ‘weuld have it I aceem- panied the Priacess and her husband, :to-

gether with axother young officer, Count S——. The night was piercingly cold. There was no break on the wide steppe, save here and there a <lump of sombre pime trees. The frezen plaams stretched endless-

} ly around us, dotted here and there by

patches of reeds amd rushes. Very seen we heard the seund of a wolf pack, howling gruesomely from afar. The sleigh dashed on, the half frantic horwes tearing their way over the hard, glittermg snow. Suddenty

} the howling of the wolwes was heard draw-

ing nearer, and presently we were able to distinguish the phospherescent gleam easit- ted by their glaring eyes, even before we

| could define their forme. A bundle of straaw 4 had been tied behind the sleigh, and wae

being trailed along om the snow, and, ae- cording to the custom ef experienced wolf

| hunters in these regiens, we had taken

with us, tied in a steong canvas bag, a small sucking pig, which we pinched from time to time for the purpose of attracting the wolves by its squeals and shrieks of

rotest. a rifle in her slender hands, ‘her eyes fix- ed on the approaching troop of wild ani- mals. She seemed impervious to any sense of fear, and appeared perfectly calm, al- though she must have knewn that hunts of this kind are the most damgerous and peril- ous ever attempted ; tor if by misfortune the sleigh were to be overtarned, or an ac- tident happen to the horses, it meant cer- tain death to the occupanta.

Nearer and nearer drew our pursuers, and we commenced to shoot. Many fell, and for a few moments tke pack seemed frightened and slackened its speed, possibly fer the purpose of devouring their wounded comrades, as is their custom. But with the help of the little pig’s squeaks we soon had them again at our heels. Things were going on splendidly, and we were all in high glee, when suddenly trom a dark mass of Siberian pines, a few hundred yards ahead of us, a second pack of wolves rushed to- ward us so unexpectedly that we found our- selves almost surrounded. This was, ‘dis- agreeable surprise. The terrified horses reared and plunged as they saw their enemies making straight for them at full grllop. Ivan, the coachman, without _los- ing his head, whipped them up, whistled and screamed at them, and managed to start them off again in an oblique line. At that moment a huge, shaggy, grey wolf made a desperate spring and threw himself at the throat of one of our leaders. A shot from the Princess’s rifle struck him in the head and he rolled over in the snow before he could inflict any injury to the horse; but so madly frightened was the latter that he gave a lurch forward, which almost upset the sleigh, jerked the poor little pig out in- to the snow, and threw Ivan from his box right upon us, where he lay motionless, while the horses tore away at a pace of which nothing can give even the faintest notion. The worst cf it was that they were now racing at headlong speed toward a clump of stunted fir trees, which meant a final collapse and certain death to us all. The sleigh rocked and sw&yed like a paper wv as we tlew. overthe snow. The inani-

mate body of the coachman, Ivan, lay across us in such a manner that we could not stir, or ever use our rifles, and we were just about te prepare ourselves for the final crash, wher suddenly Princess M -» who had been sitting on the edge of the sleigh, strug- gled to her feet, poised herself marvelously an spite of the furious rocking to and fro, nd crouching her little bodyfor the spring, ‘with all the science of an experienced gym- mast cleared the back of the box and launch- ed herself into Ivan’s empty seat. Then, holding on thereto with one hand, she stooped over the dashboard, bending her head almost to the level of the snow-covered ground between the horses, and with a pewerful effort succeeded in clutching the trailing reins, which every moment threat- ened to become entangled in the horses’ feet. Grasping them in her right hand she oe herself up, and sitting firmly in

yan’s seat regained control of the runaway team with incredible skill. Howshedid it, I myself, who was an eye-witness, could not tell. A moment more and she would have pitched head foremost between the horses’ feet; a moment more and the sleigh would have been overturned by the pine trees, now only a hundred yards distant. Her delicate arms were wrenched almost from theie sockets in her efforts to master the terrified horses, but she succeeded in turning their heads from the dangerous thicket im front of us toward the open plain. For a mement the frenzied beasts rushed on, therm slackened perceptibly, and obey- ed the tiny hands which held the reins. Our lives were saved, but we could not find time at that moment to thank the little fairy who had so pluckily reseued u-, for after laying the still senseless Ivan on the bottom of the sleigh we were foreed to shoot as fast as we could load at the wolves, which had now united into one huge pack and were hot im our pursuit. The slaughter that we did that night was ter- rible, and we left a broad track of bleeding and mangled carcases behind us to mark our path. Verst upon verst was covered, the Princess driving the team with perfect skill and at almost racing speed. At length the glimmer of dim lights became visible in the distance, and ten minutes later, with a sigh of relief, our fair driver pulled up her exhausted horses before a cluster of miserable dwellings. A peasant wrapped from head to foot in sheepskins came out of one of the ishas into the cold, which was in- tense enough to freeze any living thing, and he invited as into his house. We lifted Ivan from the sleigh and carried him in, laying him down on a pile of skins and rugs in front of: the blazing stove. It was a poor miserable place, this Polish isba, but the people were kind and anxious to help, for they knew our little Princess. They brewed us some hot tea which restored to consciousness poor Ivan.

Without the wind howled, and so did the wolves most dismally, as they retreated toward the forests, and within, our rescuer, the little Amazon who had saved us at the risk of her life and limb, was bending over the injured man with all the tender sym- pathy of a true woman she relieved the pain and tended the hurts of her servant.
