Chased by Hungry Wolves.

I A red-faced man was holding the attention of a little group with some wonderful recitals. “The most exciting chase I ever bad,” he said, “happened a short time ago in Russia. One night when sleighing about ten miles from my destination I discovered, to my intense horror, that I was being followed by a pack of wolves. I fired blindly Into the pack, killing one pf the brutes, and to my Relight saw flbe others stop to devour It After dong this, however, they came on again. I kept on repeating the dose, with the same result, and each respite gave me an opportunity to whip up my horses. Finally there was only one wolf left, yet on it came, with Jts fierce eyes glaring In anticipation of a good, hot supper ” Here the man who had been sitting In the corner burst forth Into a fit of laughter. “Why, man,” he said, “by your way of reckoning that last wolf must have had the rest of the pack inside of him!” “Ah!” said the red-faced man without a tremor, “now I remember It did wabble a bit” —Harper’s Weekly.
