cMonsieurLafleurl" cried Yegor.
“Present!” answered the dancing-master,
-hose sledge had been the first to stop.
• You have had a narrow escape, Monsieur
r^fleur” said Yegor; “I thought I would
C«ve to’wear mourning for you 1"
••Ah! ma foil. I thought it was the end
ef the world! The learned say that we shall
eerlsh by cold, and I suppose the snow hur
Jtejne will have its partin the closing scenes
If the last hour!”
They talked without seeing each other, in
the midst of the obscurity.
The Yakouto Tekel had, meanwhile, gath
ered alder and fir branches and kindled a
with them.
The fugitives uttered ories of loy on again
seeing light and fire. They hastened to the
blaze to warm themselves—they were cov
ered with snow and scarcely recognizable]
Yermac made very strange grimaces.
“Ladislas! Where is Ladislas!” asked
Nadege, looking around her for the little
Pole.
Alas! he was not to be fouhdl He had
been tom from the sledge by the terrible
hurricane!
Yegor called Wab. He fastened his dark
lantern to the dog’s collar and, after pro
nouncing the name of Ladislas several
times, sent the animal to search for the
child.
After being gone an hour, Wab returned
alone. The animal was shaking with cold;
from the bloody marks on its paws, they saw
that the creature had thoroughly searched
a long distance, but without result. It had
returned to the forest that it might not per
ish from exhaustion.
Nadcge wept, repeating the name of her
adopted brother. Yegor and M. Lafieur,
silent and afflicted, thought of the poor child
lost on the frozen plain and struggling in the
darkness against the furious and icy wind,
amid the blinding snow.
The chief of police was touched by the
grief of the fugitives and strove to Impart
to them, in regard to the lad, a hope he did
not share.
The two Yakoutes prepared a shelter by
making a deep excavation in the snow.
The traveler’s spread their coverings in it,
and took refuge there to await a lull in the
storm.
The dogs were unharnessed and grouped
themselves in a circle on the snow, in which
they dug holes to obtain warmth. A second
fire was kindled at the edge of the forest by
Yegor’s order. He hoped that Ladislas
might, perhaps, be guided by the light of this
fire and rejoin them.
CHAPTER SIX.—LADISLAS AND THE GOLD-ROB
BERS.
• When the hand of gold-robbers to which
Yermac’s son belonged quitted the neigh
borhood of the consumed forest of Os
trovoye, leaving for dead the chief of police,
Dimitri assumed the command of it.
The young man told the truth when he
assured his father that he had participated
neither in the assassination of Major Dob
son and his servant nor in that of the Rus
sian Khabaroff. The band had been renew
ed several times and, when it attacked the
chief of police, there remained of ita former
members, upon whom the stigma of the
murders rested, only the chief Koskintine
shot and killed by Yermac.
The others—considered as associates—
had upon their consciences only the rough
means employed to procure the gold stolen
by the miners. This gold they carried into
China across the frontier of the Amoor, em
ploying against the Cossacks charged with
guarding the banks of the river now force
and now stratagem. They hid their gold
dust in loaves of bread, introduced it in
small ingots into their horses' hoofs or
placed it in the stomachs of fish, transform
ing themselves according to circumstances
into merchants or fishermen.
The alarm spread by Yermac, by means
of the Cossacks, caused redoubled watch
fulness among the posts scattered along the
left bank of the immense Asiatio stream.
Besides, when the escape of an exile is the
matter in hand, nothing is neglected to stop
bim; if necessary, the Russian government
would put an army in motion to arrest a sin
gle man, in order to discourage other at
tempts of the same kind.
The bandits commanded by Dimitri found
themselves compelled to change their plans
and to give up, for a time, crossing the
Amoor. They went towards the Gulf of
Penjinsk, situated at the most northern
point of the Sea of Okhotsk. At this spot,
fiiey counted upon succeeding in crossing the
Stanovoi Mountains, by ascending the Omo*
ion to its source.
They had procured a number of nartas
drawn by reindeer purchased in the Yak
euto villages, and, forcing thoir Journey,
®*d already arrived among the spurs of the
graat Stanovoi chain, with their bare and
•nowy peaks. They did not hesitate to ven
ture among these terrible mountains, from
whence it is rare that one can make his exit
When he has entered their sombre and inex
tricable labyrinths.
Yegor, also, had for a moment entertained
•to thought of taking this route. He knew,
thanks to his investigations, that every
•hhuner the natives and the Russian half
hreeds from the shores of the Sea of Ok
hotsk assemble together in a village named
Tchimikan, at the mouth of the Ouda, to
exchange furs, fresh meat and fish for
•Pirituous liquors, calico and tobacco brought
J the American whalers; but the fear of
“hding Russian vessels in that interior and
"together Muscovite sea had caused him to
*“?don the project.
The gold-robbers could manage matters
•esier by mingling with the trappers (prom
tention^' Bn** 3ucl1 wa®>
last exPloit of the band had been the
hbery of the mail which departs monthly
7°m A]an—a station in the district of Ok
™»k, founded in 184$ by a Russo-American
•hr company. It may be said, in passing,
“at the postal road, a common, narrow
Wth cut through the forests from AJan to
takoutsk, was used by the Russian gov
ernment to transport arms and munitions to
possessions on the Pacific, during the
Trrnean war. At intervals of from twenty
twenty-five miles are postal stations,
here reindeer are kept for the mail and
the few travelers who venture into these
regions.
The mail carries every month about a

«. , robbery of the mail could not be of

mulshed them an opportunity of main
"•"hR their state of revolt against the laws
^““‘hority
Oae evening, the bandits halted at the
"“Wnce of a narrow valley, there to estab
LUh their encampment in the open air. The
night was dark, but the sky clear and the
temperature comparatively mild. Besides
Dimitri, the band included two Tunguses a
Lamoute from the Bay of Tausk, a Koriak,
a Ghiliak fisherman, a Russian convict ea
oaped from the colony on the bland of Sag
haiien, the fierce Cossack Ivan with whom
our readers are already acquainted, and,
lastly, another escaped exile. It will be
seen that the band had been augmented by
the reception of Beveral new recruits.
The Lamoute had drawn from his pocket
one of those enormous agates found in the
beds of rivers, which the natives use for
are-stones. He began to strike it against
his Under-steel, employing for Under ex
orescences from the birch tree boiled. This
tinder plunged in a small bone box, in which
was a supply of sulphur, procured for him
a flame which he utilized to light the bivouac
fire.
During this operation, Ivan, axe in hand,
was furiously felling the young pines of the
vicinity, and Koschevine was carrying the
wood with which to foed the blaze.
The two Tunguses had already establish
ed themselves beside a dead horse, of which
they were devouring the flesh scarcely pre
sented by them to the flames; it was the
horse of one of them, an old hunter by the
name of Ephraim, a great slayer of bears
in the district of Okhotsk, who had the rep
utation of slaughtering or capturing at least
twenty of these animals every summer.
Ephraim, too tightly squeozod by the Iprav
SLik of his village—a young Russian of
thirty, who passed his time in getting drunk
in company with the priest—hod treated him
as he treated his bears and had afterwards
escaped by flight. a
He had met the bond of gold-robbers only
a few hours before, and had immediately
become a member of it. His horse, com
peting in swiftness with the reindeer, had
broken a leg and, for that reason, boon con
demned to death. Hie old Tunguse, who
had not too much feoling, had slain it after
the fashion of the country. Those Tun
guses, though in general mild and pacific,
are very cruel towards animals. Thus, their
favorite mode of killing a horse which is to
bo eaten is to throw it upon the ground, tie
It firmly with repos and then to open the
breast and plunge in the arm to compress
the heart with the hand until death ensues.
They claim that the meat is much improved
by this process.
Old Ephraim and the other Tunguse were
capable of eating the horse before the break
ing up of the encampment.
The latter, named Avaram, with bronzed
skin, very prominent cheek bones and small
eyes black and bright as those of the Tar
tars, belonged to a Tunguse group of the
southeast of Siberia. Entirely clothed in
reindeer skin, his chief garment was a kind
of large fur overcoat, open in front. To its
neck was attached, to be used at need, a
species of very gay hood—a malachi—made
of the skins of red, black and gray foxes
arranged in alternate bands, with a border
of sea otter fur; tight-fitting skin breeches,
with the hair inside, covered his thighs; his
feet and legs were enclosed in reindeer skin
boots with seal skin soles, reaching above
his knees.
This Tunguse had joined the band of gold
robbers in the hope of gaining with it suffi
cient to pay the price of his betrothed, the
daughter of one of the golovas or great
chief of his tribe, a rare beauty .whom he
had obtained at the exorbitant figure of a
hundred reindeer—a veritable fortune.
Among the Tunguses of the southeast, the
price of a woman varies from one reindeer
to a hundred. They tell, however, of beau
ties of an inferior order obtained for a pipe
of tobacco. These circumstances do not
prevent the marriages from being celebrated
by a Russian priest.
The other bandits, after having killed a
passably foundered reindeer, roasted stocks
cut from the animal; the Koriak and the
Lamoute, on their side, prepared a soup
with the contents of the reindoer’s stomach.
This Koriak was a young man, the sole
survivor of a family dead of hunger. When
he related to his companions that each year(
at the close of winter, famine decimated the
Inhabitants of Toumane because, at that
time, the supply of fish caught during the
summer gave out:
“Why don't you continue to fish!” askod
one of the bandits of him.
“Ah I I don’t know,” answered ho. “The
Russian government furnishes us with
packthread to make nets, but we give it to
the Lamoutes on condition that they shall
fish for us. Unfortunately, the most fam
ished among us eat all at the beginning of
the winter!”
The Lamoute wore suspended from his
neck an enormous silver medal, the gift of
the Czar, received as a reward for the as
sistance he hod rendered his countrymen
during one of their periodical famines.
These spring famines are the scourge of
Siberia. This medal, strangely placed on
the bosom of a brigand, won for the entire
band a great deal of respect from the J :■
tives.
The Ghiliak fisherman was a native of the
lower Amoor country, forced to flee after
having slain one of his relatives who had
stolen from him the flint of his gun. He
feared, not without reason, that the friends
of the defunct might retaliate according to
the Ghiliak code—an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth. This barbarian, who was
very superstitious and inclined to idolatry,
had been baptized in accordance with the
Greek rite, and wore about his neck several
little metal crosses. His name was Mich
aelofi.
As to Ivan, that former Cossack had aban
doned the post of the region of the Amoor,
where he lived as a soldier-laborer, coloniz
ing the country. These Cossacks owe a
service of fifteen years, for which they re
ceive an annual salary of about two dollars
and a quarter, the government furnishing
them, in addition, with rations of black
bread and, sometimes, of tea. Their nour
ishment consists of salmon which they
must catch themselves, and which, with dif
ferent wild-fruits and the bark and roots of
several kinds of trees, forms a diet but little
varied.
Those who live in the vicinity of the Bay
of Castries consume a great quantity of
very large and fine oysters. \\ e know that
the Russians visited tho Amoor, for the firs!
time, only in 1843; but, about ten yoars
later, they succeeded in obtaining from tho
Chinese the cession of all the regions stretch
ing from the left bank of the river to the
previous boundary of Siberia, gaining by this
“rectification” of the frontiers an immense
and rich territory.
Ivan, who had grown weary of the life ol
a colonist, had deserted. He often men
tioned to his companions this curious cin
cumstance; upon the shores of the great
Asiatic river, the animals of tho cold coun
tries meet those of the burning regions ol
the south. The reindeer there becomes the
prey of the Bengal tiger, and the wild boar
and the badger live, side by side, with the
hare of the pole and the glutton.
Koschevine, the Russian, had escaped
from the mines of Nertchinsk, following ths
course of the Amoor in the hope of being r*
celved by the native population established
on its banks. He succeeded in passing all
V
the Chinese posts in s smell boat, keeping
along tho left shore of the stream, living
upon the produce of his oarabino and en
during great privations: at last he reached
tho Sea of Okhotsk, where he counted upon
finding an asylum on board some ship. In
this, he was unsuccessful; then, all chance
of safety having vanished, he retraced his
steps, resolved to return to the mines, where,
nevertheless, a severe punishment awaited
him, rather than dlo of wretchedness and
hunger. But, after having scoured the
country for somo time, he had met the band
of gold-robbers and had enrolled himself in
its ranks.
When tho bandits had satisfied their hun
ger, they loaded the fire with wood, and
wrapped themselves in the warmest and
largest coverings they possessed to sleep in
the open air.
The night gave promise of being quiet,
when, suddenly, cries were heard—cries of
terror uttered by a child.
The men around the camp fire seized their
weapons, and half raised themselves; soon
they hoard the snow cracking beneath ths
hoofs of a reindeer harnessed to a little
sledge, and saw behind this sledge a pack
of wolves hurrying along, howling and men
acing.
As the sledge approached tho bivouac,
th» intimidated wolves slackened their pace,
The child, beside himself with fear, cried
out incessantly. When the rcindeor stop
ped, the poor littlo being fell inanimate into
the arms of Dimitri and Koschevine who
had gone to his aid, while old Ephraim, his
Tunguse companion Avaram, the Lamoutc
and tho Korlak fired numerous murderous
arrows at the wolves and frightened them
with discharges of fire-arms.
The inanimate child, half doad with terror,
hunger and cold, was Ladislas.
The-Lamouto saw his state of oxhaustion.
and taking from a bag a piece of frozen
inaro’s milk, he broke some fragments from
it with a hatchet and placed them in a cop
per pan over the fire.
The milk, speedily boiling and foaming,
was presented to tho lad. The first drops
introduced into his mouth restored him W
consciousness.
- CHAPTER XX.—A LITTLE HERO.
How had Ladislas escaped death, lost,
alone, shipwrecked, as it were, in tho midst
of the immense ocean of snow I After being
hurled from the sledge into tho thick of the
hurricane, he aroso safo and sound and sue
ceeded in crawling under a bush which
served him os a refuge. ,
The next day, after a night of watchful
ness and anguish, he courageously set out
in the direction it was probablo the sledges
bad taken. He knew that the fugitives
were going towards the north, and had
learned how to tell where he was by study
ing certain undulations of the snow formed
by the wind. But the plain stretched out
in its terrible solitude beneath tho winding
sheet of winter.
A few stunted birches and willows, which
arose here and there, resented white
monks at prayer upon the marble of a tomb.
The sun disappeared below the red horizoD
—it seemed to have melted in a conflagra
tion—and great pink reflections ran shiver
lng over the silvered ground. The nighl
came on and Ladislas had not seen a living
creature. He sought a shelter in a forest
After having eaten a little frozen bread
which he found in the pockets of his pelisse
and drunk a few drops of brandy from the
small flask he bore about him, he fell asleep
overcome with fatigue, at the foot of a tree,
behind an old trunk about which the heaped
up snow formed a sort of rampart.
Very early awabtft he saw the day return
after long and cruel hours of waiting, and
was much surprised to perceive at a short
distance a reindeer browsing on the tender
portions of the branches of the birches.
He ran towards the animal. To Judge
from the saddle and loather bridle it wore,
it was a reindeer prepared for mounting,
which had strayed away. In fact, it allow
ed itself to be approached and seized by a
strap.
The child dimDed upon it, and thought
himself saved, when, trusting to the In
stinct of the intelligent creature, he realized
that, instead of going heedlessly forward, it
was following a path leading to some inhab
ited spot.
In a few hours, he found himself in the
midst of a Yakoute village, half covered by
the debris of the recent pourga. The huts
of this village were scattered about upon
the snow, as if thrown there by chance.
They wore, nevertheless, constructed with
exceptional solidity of trunks and branched
of trees.
The villagers spoke a little Russian, and
Ladislas received from them the most cor
dial hospitality. They warded him, gave
him an abundant repast, and helped him,
the following day, to make with some birch
limbs and straps a little sledge to which he
harnessed his reindeer. He asked of them
Information concerning the country and
what direction it was necessary to take to
reach Nijni-Kolimsk—the sole means, by
leaving that station to his left, thought he,
of again finding Yegor and Nadege, who
were to pass to the east of that town.
Two hours later, he started on his Jour
ney, driving a sledge for the first time in
his life. This vehicle was of the most ele
mentary description. Well wrapped in his
furs, the little Pole held in his hand the rod
which serves to direct the reindeer and to
stop them in case of too rapid descent on
snow-covered slopes. He went with ex
treme swiftness, hoping to reach Yegor’s
qartas on the morrow. He took no rest at
night, and, as the sky was clear, guided
himself by the polar star.
Of all these things, Ladislas told only
what ho Judged proper to tell to the ill
looking men by whom he was surrounded,
who questioned him with curiosity, greatly
astonished to meet a child and a foreigner in
these frightful solitudes.
“And the wolves!” demanded Dimitri of
him—“the wolves that were howling behind
you, ready to devour you! Were you not
afraid of them!”
“The wolves 1” said the child to the lat
ter, whose red pantaloons, ornamented with
silver and numerous and varied weapons,
sufficiently indicated the chief of the band
—"the wolves that were pursuing me i They
were behind me for I know not how many
hours!”
“They numborod at least two hundred!”
said Ivan.
