In a very lmmlile cot,
In a rather quiet apot.
In tb sobln -Ainl in Hip soap
Worked a woman full of bope ;
VYorkini!, Hini;ii!, nil alone,
In n norl of noelerteinw,
"'Willi n Saviour 4'or a fripinl,
Vbo would keep ber to tbe end."
Sotnetimeje baprM-iiiiip along
I bail beard tbe etiii-inij.
And I olteli lijced lo ftnilP,
More in sstripaiby than nuile,
riot I never aiil a weird.
In regard to what I beard ;
An he Minn alM.iil ber friend
Who would keep ber to tbu end.
Neil 5n sorrow nor in glees
Worbinir all clay long was she,
An ber i bilclren. Ibree ir four.
Played aronin! ber oil Ibe Hour ;
Rnl in monotone tbec song
hlie v,ih biiintiii ng all day long,
"Willi a Saviour for a friend,
lie. will keep me. to tbe end."
It'a a song I do not sing.
Fur I w-iint; believe il tiling
Of ibe Moriea tb.it are told
Of I be mira.-les of old :
Tint I know that ber belief
la tbe anodyne of grief.
And will alwaya be a friend
Thai will keep her lo tUi end.
,Tn-t a IriH" lotienonie she.
Just as poor as poor c-onld be,
I tn t ber spirits :lways rose.
Like Ibe bubble ill the clol Ik'S,
A I'd though wi. lowed and a!o:ie,
Cheered ber with monotone,
Of a Saviour ami a friend
Win. would keep her lo iho end.
I have een hez rub and rub.
On 'he washboard in ibe too,
While the baity, sopped in suds,
Itolled and Iniiiblecl ill tl.eduda,
Or was paddling in the pools.
With old scissors stuck in spools.
She still humming to her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs,
And 1 would not wish tostiip
From lii.it washerwoman's lip
Any sung that she can sing,
Any hope that song can bring,
For the woman has a friend
Thai will keep her lo tbe end.

'Take care and iot gounderll.e ice, and

"Them varmints won't lie apt to trouble
us to night, unless f here is a big pack bang

lie light for I hem to scent us. A few of
'em never venture out in an open space
like this, Tlie sneaking varmints ain't got
no courage unless tlieie is a crowd of 'etn
together."
A word now aa where we were and
whither bouiul, and then we goon with our
M 'liiere were "biee of us Frank Hardy.
Ren Grant, and myself. Frank and I bad
been 011 bnsinePH soni hundred miles from
the Canadian town in which we resided,
a d when just on the point of returning by
the same route we bad come, we fell in
with "Old lien" so be was known among
the liappeis and Iradeis with whom we
were well acquainted, and who, learning
..111 intention o immediately setting out
for dome, prcvaih-d j...n us to accompany
dim, "taking a sliort cut across the conn
t.y," by doing which we should save neat
ly a ibiid of t he distance.
We wanted to see that part of Ctnada.
and w e liked the society of Old Ben, so we
provided 011 eles with mow shoes, for it
a as ibe first of Maich. and He mow still
lav asd epas :n midwinter.
'We weie aimed, each of ns, wild a rifle
and while Fiank and I had a laige knap
i-aek. in wired we cflriied aa. ply of food,
which we should stand in need of. as, ac
cording to bis reckoning, we sl.ould touch
at bill one 01 two se 1 letnenta on our route;
and although we bad our rides to depend
upon for f.iod, it was the season when
game is scaire.
The liist dav of our tramp, along about
the middle of Ide afternoon, we readied
the little settlement oil '.be shoic of Ibe
lake, w here we stop.ed and rested ourselves
lint ii the sun wcnl down, w hen, as we were
preparing lo set out, the conversation en
sued thai we have already chronicled. The
sun had gone down, and one by one the
sta.s weie coming out and taking iheit
places in the great bine vault ala.ve us.
when we turned our backs upon Ibe land
lord and bis cabin, and struck out upon the
ice Hull coveted the bosom of the lake,
flecked here and Mieie w it If patches of
snow. The sui face waa so slippery that
we found we could make lit lie headway
w ild utir Kiiiiw.-li'ies on ; so we took tdcin
off and strapped idem upon our backs after
we had .luocoabejit disUnce from the .adore.
We were now ready for work ; and for the
next few inilea Frank anil I dad as much
AH we could do to keep pace with the long
strides of "Old Ben," as be led tho way
acioss the lake.
An hour went by, and "Old lien" assured
us that we bad made good four miles of
our journey. All about us was naught but
ice and sky. except to t he tun t Ii w aid. w here
a long, dark line marked tbe forest, sketch
ing along the shore of the lake. Once or
twice we bad seen an air-dole in the ice,
around which tbe water 1 ly Upon the sur
face for a little distance; but. ol berwise
than this, our foot bold was as firm as the
Solid eat lb. These places weie easy
enough to be avoided, for we could see
them glittering in the slaililit quite a dis
tance away.
All at once tbe trapper, who still kept in
advance, paused and stood in Ibe attitude
of listening. We followed bis example,
and remained mute and motionless. Then,
though as yet not n sound bad met our eats.
"Old lien" brought down li is 1 ille upon I lie
ice, and exclaimed, in a voice Ilia;, caused
us a tin ill nf fear in spile of ourselves :
"Wolves !"
"Where? I dear nothing." I tV,d.
"I don't suppose you do. youngster ;-tint
my ears have liecn trained lo catch tbe
slightest si.iin l. You'll bear them in a
minute. Ilaik !"
This lime I, too, lieatd A sound that
wasn't to be mistaken. A low. lingering
bow I came float ing till ibe slight breeze;
and then dice! away. The next moment it
was renewed by what seemed from a bun
dled throats, coming from the datk fores'
line to our left, while a Iniudied more or
as many echoes took tl up tin the other
side.
"There are lots of the varmints out to
night," s iid "Old lien and I could tod
help thinking that there was a sp:ce of un
easiness in bis tone. "A wolf is a eowaidly
oilier, and don't daie to do much unless
there is a pack together, and then they are
very fiends. 1 hope I bey w ill give us a
wide berth to night ; for. to tell the tiulh.
lieiys, we should stand rather a poor sight
with them about, us, and not a 1 1 c-e to climb
int..."
. "IV. you think they w ill venture on l!ie
ice?'' I a-kecl.
Can't tell, youngster. As I said afore.
' it w ill all depend upon bow ni.mv tbeie are
or I be vai m. nts. At any rate. I think 1!
best that, we use our lejjs as fast sis possi
ble." Another bowl, tdaf, in spite of all my
efforts to tbe cuutra.y. seemed to freez- my
blood, sounded around us, and cited aw-av.
only to be caught up as it weie and te- i
pcatod over and over again.
"Come 011. boys." exclaimed the trapper,
as be struck out at a quick pace that, was
imitated as near as possible by Frank and
tin self.
Half an In.tir passed, and. iu spite of our
rfV-rs, Frank and I eoulel nut keep up Ibe
pace assnmefl by the tr.tppei, not wil hslatid
iug the bowling of the wolves on every
baud grew I.Mideraml nearer each moment..
Kvrr ami anon "Old Hen" would cast a
look hackwatd ; and even in the iiini star
light we could see that Ibe link of uneasi
ness we bad seen upeoi bis face bad in
creased rather than diminished.
"Can't yon keep up. boys?"' be said,
pausing a moment for 11s to regain his side.
"I'm sorry for that, for we have got lo do
some quick walking, or else be torn to
pieces by the ti. nils cu our trail. Ilaik !
That cry came from the wolves or. the ice.
and not more than a mile aw ay ! Il would
have been best for us to have taken tbe
landlord's advice, and stayed with him to
night. Hut if the wot st comes to I he
woisf, we have got our rifles, ami we can
give the vai mints a gmal peppeting. I
only Impe the cut rent whete tbe tivei flows
into ibe lake is mil iqien, for if it is, I am
afraid Ibe wolves will cut us off."
lien's wolds bail the effect to excite us to
greater speed, and for lime we kept even
with him ; but. in spite f our utmost, ex
ertions, the how ling of the wolves sounded
nearer, ami we knew that they weie on our
track and gaining slowly upon us. Many
a hasty glance we cast, behind us. but in
the dim twilight nothing was to be seen of
j '" puisnes. A lew n.iuntes n.o.e. ami
the east lighted up. and eie long the moon
rose 111 unclouded splendor, I browing a
flood of light over the lake. One glance
backward now, and our enemies were re
vealed in cli.se pmsiiit. A lone; line of
daik. moving objects -acre behind us. and,
to ur hoi 1 or, sketching out on either hand
in Ibe shape of a crescent, as if Ibe great
atmv of ravenous wolves meant to enciicle
us. Aw-av in advance, miles Iff re us,
rose the dim nullities of the forest that
clothed Ibe shore; and there was our only
hope of esc;ie a foi lorn hopr, indeed.
Ours was now a race for life, an almost
hopeless tine, it seemed to us, ii spite of
the encouraging wmds of "Old lien,"
nltered. we knew, to give ns new strength
and courage. Kvei y muscle w as st rained
to the utmost, and we llew over the ice,
Mir ears filled with the bowlings of Ibe
hungry horde behind us. A cloud floated
over the face of the msn, and its shadows
was thrown over us for a few moments,
and the gaze we cast behind showed only
a dark, moving outline of dusky figures m.
Ibe ice, lhat eveiy moment lessened Ide
distance between us. Yet wo Imp-d foi
life, and looked forward wili. eager gaze
towaid tde d ok out litre of the forest still
mites before us. The cloud floated past,
.ind again a flood of moonlight enveloped
us. With a cry of dismay "Old lien"
paused H. dis headlong cotnse, and by an
effott we did tbe same, close beside him.
"What is it?" I asked.
'Tjo..k yonder.
I fold. wed the motion of Ida band, and
my beait sank within me. and I n longei
wondered at Ibe exclamation that fell fiom
his lips. Before us, et haps an eighth of
.1 mile away, lay a long stretch of open
water.
"The current fiom the river." said "Old
lien." "The landlord was right, and I
fear it is no use lo try fuither. We can
ti..t gc round, for I bey would be ripon us
In-fore we g it Itaif the distance. Hot come

"Old lien" sprang forward and we fol
lowed o.loselv. The delay we bad made
dad lessened Ide distance "net ween us and
our enemies one-half. Another such a
piu-e, and we should be battling for out
lives.
A few moments, and we stood just on
tbe edge of the open water. The wolves
were close ilium ns, and iheir bwlings
filled our ears. It seemed aa though tde
din cinie from a thousand tdroala, and
was joined into one ne:u.lisb bowl.
"We can swim for it, boys, but I fear
we shall stand little chance when tbe water
touches out limbs ; but the ci amp is not to
be feared so much as death by these fierce
animals."
"('an we do nothing wild our ri!Vs?"
asked Frank. "Mine is good for a half
dozen before I succumb to them or to the
waters nf Ibe lake."
And what is lhat to the yelling pack be
hind us?" said the I lapper. "Hut quick I
follow me; I have a plan tdat may save us j
yet."
A sharp point of ice jnt'rd out into the
curient for peihaps twenty b et. I . pou
this we spiaug, and then "Old lien" ex
claimed, "Keep me covered with vour
rillcs, boys, and I will save yon yet. Shoo?
a wolf or two, and that will delay '.hem a
little."
We did as be told us. A simultaneous
disch.'iJge, and two of our pntsuers fell. In
a moment, their comrades weie upon them,
and I hey were torn into a h"ndied pieces
ad ile yet alive. "Oid Ben' was laboiing
like an ox. Thick and fast he was tracing
tde blows, along a here the ice we weie on
joined to the main field, and sonti a lucky
blow parted it. Again we di-cbarged our
rifles, and then pushed with all our might
against the solid ice. Slowly our ice raft
moved out info the slie.itn ; unci, to our
great joy, we saw a daik line of water be
'wcen us and our enemies. We gave a
shout f 1 1 in mi 1 1I1. that caused the howling
mass, sea ice a dozen feet away, to iecede
for a moment.
''Don't crow, youngsters. You ain't out
