powerful cartridge and a strong, accurate gun. Poor guns 
have cost many lives among big game hunters. But whether 
the game be dangerous or not the 777tzr/iJ2 man always 
gets perfect service. 
fflctr/l/l rifles are sure, simple, strong and accurate. 
fflar/in rifles are comfortable to carry, balance well 
and come to the shoulder with that ease and certainty which 
guarantees good shooting always. 
fflar/l/i rifles are made in all calibers for all kinds of 
game. 
Send 6 cents in stamps for a catalogue, and you will 
surely find the gun you have been looking for, be it anything 
from .22 to .45-90.

I did so, and with the help of Adelaide dragging 
on Louise, who had fainted the moment the first 
wolf had put his nose into the carriage, in less 
than a second we found ourselves inside the iron- 
bound gate of the lodge. 
‘‘Thank God,” I exclaimed, “we are safe!” 
III. 
“A pretty safety indeed!” said Heinrich, who 
had lingered behind for a moment, as he firmly 
secured the gate. “However, here we are, at all 
events. I had just time to take something out 
of the voiture that we shall find of use, and un¬ 
harness the poor horses, to whom we all ought 
to be so much obliged, so as to give them a run 
for their lives, though there is hardly a run in 
them, before the brutes were upon me. I could 
barely say, ‘Take that, canaille,’ as I slapped my 
shot among them, which gave me an instant to 
get in. ‘Ay! there you are, my beauties! howl 
away as you like, but you shall be balked of your 
expected supper to-night.’ 
The lodge in which we had taken refuge, like 
all such buildings, consisted of four bare walls of 
rough but uncommonly strong masonry, with 
stone benches built all around for the purpose 
of sitting or sleeping upon. It contained a rude 
fire-place without a chimney; and furniture it 
had none, except an iron pot, left behind by 
chance or designed by its tenants. It contained, 
however, a treasure to us of intestimable value— 
the expected legacy of an immense heap of fire¬ 
wood, which the experienced hand of Heinrich 
speedily discovered in spite of the intense dark¬ 
ness. What he had risked his life to bring from 
the voiture, was my lamp and tinder-box; and, 
by their assistance, he soon succeeded in lighting 
an ample fire. Though the exertions of the pre¬ 
ceding half hour had sufficiently prevented our 
blood from stagnation, the tomb-like coldness of 
the lodge chilled us, now that the excitement 
was over, to the very soul. The genial warmth 
was, therefore, very acceptable, and even Louise 
began to revive. She at first uttered a cry of 
despair, when she saw herself in a gloomy vault 
beside a roaring fire, enveloped in thick clouds 
of smoke, through which she could but dimly 
discern our figures. She fancied she had de¬ 
scended to the other world, and did her old 
friend Heinrich the compliment of supposing 
him to be the devil. 
“I am in no humor, woman,” said he, “to 
listen to your prate. Thank your master and 
mistress, there, for saving you from the wolves, 
for the devil a hand I’d have stirred toward it. 
However, as you are here, take this drop of 
brandy; and that may call back your brains 
again, if you ever had any in your paper skull.” 
He proffered her the draught of what he con¬ 
sidered a panacea for all the ills of life, and 
which, to do him justice, he did not prescribe 
without having duly tried its qualities upon him¬ 
self. While hastily running back for the tinder- 
box, he could not resist the temptation of carry¬ 
ing off a small basket of provisions, which hap¬ 
pened to contain a brandy-bottle, and it was put 
into immediate requisition. Louise received the 
glass with unfeigned politeness, in spite of the 
ungallant speech by which it was prefaced, and, 
cheered by the restorative, and delighted beyond 
measure with her escape, was beginning a long 
story of her own courage during the adventure, 
when she was suddenly interrupted by a piercing 
shriek outside. 
“Silence!” said Heinrich mournfully. “I 
thought so. It is the poor horses, sir. They 
stand a great deal, the dumb beasts, without 
making cry or moan; but when one comes to 
be torn to pieces by wolves, it is quite a different 
thing. Ay, there’s the other. There’s an end 
of them both, poor things! I feared they had 
not a run in them; and the blackguard brutes 
outside have a supper after all—and little good 
may it do them!” 
“What!” said Louise with a fresh access of 
terror, “are the wolves outside?” 
“Indeed they are,” replied the chasseur, be¬ 
ginning to smoke. “You will soon hear them, 
my dear, and perhaps see them too. Don’t be 
afraid, however, for awhile,” continued he, as 
he saw her clinging to her mistress; “all in good 
time—you are safe for a bit yet.” 
It was not long, indeed, before we heard them;
