MITCHEL The proume of Vyatka, lu Klissla, iMirders oil Siberia, ami. though It Is net tpiite so far north as St. Peters burg. It Is rather a wild country. Near Its center Is a Due estate, In which on a piece of rising round Is a spacious resi dence. One day a lady rode out from this bouse mi horseback. It was the spring of the year, and the winter had been cold. The lady had been told that wolves from the forests hud been driven by hunger to seek food lu the , more civilised region, and she had pls 1 tols and holsters at the pommel of her , saddle and a short title slung over her ' shoulder. Two servants, also armed, rode u short distance In her rear. She ; was going to visit a charitable Institu tion In which she was Interested. During her return a sound of bark ing and shots was heard behind her, which drew rapidly nearer. Then a sleigh appeared, the driver lashing his horses to escape a pack of wolves. A i man lu tlie rear seat of the sleigh fired j a shot at the brutes, then threw down ' his gun. It was evident that he had used his Inst cartridge. The equestri enne, supported by her servants, began i tiring at the wolves, which made off into the woods. Thou the man in the sleigh thanked them fur his life since, had It not been for their coming, in a few minutes more both he and bis driver would have been devoured. Handing a card to the lady bearing the mime Count Boris Oeronsky, be Bald: j "If you ever come to St. Petersburg I please advise me. I trust 1 shall be i able to make your visit there eujoy i able." j When the lady read the name on the ' card the expression on ber face ehiuig : ed. but the count, whose nerves had j been severely taxed, felt n swimming : sensation and did not notice the lin i presslou his name had created. I "You need rest uiid refreshment" she replied to his request "We are not half u dozen versts from my house. If you will partake of my hospitality I will accept your luvltutlon later, for I shall soon visit the capital." The count invited her Into hip sleigh and together they rode to her home, where she entertained him at dinner.

"I live on tlie edge of u wllilcriiex," she replied, "find have hover soon any thing of life In n grout city. I would like to be present nt one of the func tions given nt the pilaee." "You Mint 1 1 lie present." the count an swoi'cd. "not only at one function, but as many as you pleii c. I am one of the emperor's privy council ami can command Invitations for the asking." Sonlii Maranleff prowd a great sup cess In court society Though she came from u wild country she was re fined, and there was about her a greater freshness and IngeniioUKiiess ' than In the women of the city. More over, she was beautilul. Since she always gave her Inline as Sonhi Mara lileff It was supposed Hi.it she was un married. Many men strove to win her. but she seemed pi prefer tlie attentions of him who end liitro'hiced her ('Mint Boris mis devoted to her. but It was generally known thai he was a mar ried mail and the ICiwhIiiii church does not admit of divorce J'here Is ii custom in Cusl i that a ' man of rank may marry a woman of wealth, giving ber the right to bear i his inline and title for a consideration.
