Ragorsk! What a world of bitter sweet memories rose within me! I longed, yet dreaded, to be there. Was Katrina still there? How would she receive me? And Paul—ah, yes, Paul! I shuddered at the thought of him. But I must get to my destina- tion; I must know the facts—the truth. As Ivan lashed up the horse it oc- curred to me that I had not kmown peace of mind for a quarter of a cen- tury. Often had I wished to make the ,trip, but a flourishing business had required almost constant attention. | Settling back in the robes, I thought.

VAN HUSS' PLACE IT COSTS YOU NOTHING along the roadside was mew. Just round the bend the horse floundered to his shoulders in a mudhole; thel tarantass keeled to one side and I | alighted to assist Ivan. | It was then I caught sight of the old Cossack guardhouse, high up on the hill. Again I shuddered. ! Originally constructed from bricks . of baked clay and quartz sand, during ' the Tatar invasion in Catherine's time, it had later been used as a shel- ter in the troublesome military days of two hundred years ago. Near by were the ruins of the officers’ quar- ters, and beyond, those of the men. But the old guardhouse, partially | built into the solid, frowning rock, had | resisted the ravages of time. It was within the grim walls that I had seen the last of Paul previous to my depar- ture for America. Again I let Ivan talk. With much | crossing, he told me of its history; of | the scenes, brutal and cruel, that had taken place there! of the ghost that made his home in the building, and how everyone shunned the very hill. | Even the priests were afraid of it, he | said. I laughed to myself, for I had been there many times, and Paul had been there once—just once. & On a sudden impulse I determined to g0 there before going to the village. Ivan paled at the thought; not for a million rubles would he accompany me. Tremblingly, he agreed to walt for me, and I ascended the steep hill. Paul and I had been boys of an age. ‘We had many quarrels and always hated each other with an intensity that almost amounted to affection. Perhaps the expression sounds strwnge; it is not—that is, to my mind. Both sons of comparatively rich parents, we had been orphaned about the same time. He did me many in- juries, petty meannesses of boyhood, and 1 retaliated in like manner. No, not in like manner; for my brain was quicker than his and more fertile in devising subtle revenges, as you will see. But these are small things; little | nothings of no consequence compared with the cause of my great hatred— Katrina, the starosta’s daughter. Katrina of the Golden Hair, I called her; for all the other girls were dark, i and Katrina—ah! who can describe Katrina? That she could prefer Paul mnever | once entered my mind. I was far: cleverer, far better set-up. But there | is no accounting for a woman’s cholce. | Paul won; he and my Katrina were engaged. At first I set about for revenge, but | soon realized that nothing I could do in the way of retaliation could make up for that. Katrina his, Paul could afford to laugh at me. Finally, I could | stand it no longer; 1 made up my | mind to leave for America, where I had relatives. | Setting my affairs in order, I sold | out my interests, houses, mill and, land. . Paul was away on a trip at the time, so 1 did not hurry, but sent my bag- gage ahead to Karnoul, where it would «await my arrival. On the dny of my departure, I drove over to a neighbor- ing village, Putaski, transacted my business, and in the afternoon drove B | back along the road below the guard- house. ! The trip that had taken Paul away || had been to a remote district on the || Manchurian border, and as the way | | 1ay across the foothills, the road being rough, it had necessitated travel by || foot. Paul was not expected back for at least ten days more; 80 you may judge, then, of my astonishment at | | meeting him on the road. | || 1 do not know what possessed me at the time—some devil or a twist in the ekein of fate, perhaps. Anyway, 1 alighted, and at the sight of his cynical smile my blood set itself on | fire. We were alone—absolutely alone | on the deserted road. * | Of course he struggled with all his | might. His strength was no match for | mine, and soon I had him trussed upi Lo have your eyes thoroughly and like & fowl scientifically cxamined here.

Fastened to the walls were strong To one of these chains, the broad fron band round his waist, I secured Paul. Withdrawing my handkerchief from his mouth, for there was no fear of his cries being heard, and I had no object in causing him physical discom- fort, unheeding his protestations, threats and pleadings, I left him. In the village all was commotion { over my departure. ————————————————————————— Net Entirely MHeartbroken.

At last I entered my home for the last time, made certain preparations and emerged with a parcel under my arm. This I placed under the seat of the vehicle in which I would drive to Karnoul, arrangements having been made to send the conveyance back. | Farewells said, amid the cheers of my { triends—and every person in the vil- ! lage was my friend—I took my depar- . ture. | Katrina, I did not call upon, though she waved her handkerchief from the window. This act I pretended not to ' gee. _An howr's tast drivigg and I was 1i sight of the guardhouse. Paul brightened as I entered. | “I was afraid you meant to leave me here all night for a joke,” he said, & ! trifie nervously, I thought. { *I am even now on my way to Kar- noul. said simply. There was a narrow billet of wood { which 1 had carried to the place long before for a seat. This I picked up and though the line of telegraph poles A Placed upright within bare reach of my captive. On the top I placed the 1oaf of black bread from the parcel. “Why did you return so soon?” I asked him. “My business took a shorter time than expected,” he replied, giving me a strange look. “And the road you traversed is a dangerous one,” I observed smilingly. “What do you mean? he asked quickly. “That you will not be missed.” “Alexis! Surely you are not going to leave me here? No one has been here for fifty years; none will come. I shall die,” Paul moaned. 1 folded my arms over my chest and laughed. “This loaf of bread is the artistic touch to my joke, Paul. It is food. You will be hungry. Don’t devour it all in a day, for there will be none left for the dreary days to come when you will hope for rescue; hope, when in your heart you will know that there can be no hope. “First, you will pick off a corner of the bread; then, when hunger grips, a little more. Soon all will be gone, and you will die. I shall never return. Good-by, Paul.” As I made my way back to the horse his voice came to me. “Alexis! For pity’s sake, Alexis!” This, with variations, 1 heard until haltway down the hill, when the sounds became like whispers, and long ere I reached the road all was silent, though I knew he was still calling. Twenty-five years had passed since l all this had happened. I would look at the guardhouse, then proceed to the village, posing as a traveler until I could hear of Katrina. As I approached the place my fear of recognition vanished. None would know me, I had changed so greatly. Even my voice was different. I would just peep in before returning to the waiting Ivan. As 1 stepped inside something caught my eye. I stopped abruptly; my heart started tapping in my ears. Perspiration broke from me. I was afraid. Then, as the truth flashed upon me, 1 shrank back and clutched at the wall for support. Under the iron waistband to which 1 had fastened Paul lay a pile of bones, while shreds of clothing hung from the chains. There was no need to look at the buttons, the little personal arti- i cles from the pockets; that was un- necessary; Paul’s. 1 shivered. Paul must have reached out for the loaf and in his fright knocked over the insecurely placed log, the action caus- ing the bread to roll out of his reach. Yes, that was it. Naturally, the bread had long ago disappeared—the rats had seen to that. And the file—tho strong fillex1 bad imbeddéd I thd loaf—the filé with 1 knew them at once for ) which he was to release himself—lay on the floor, a good two feet out of his reach! “What is it? Did you see the ghost?” Ivan asked on my return, starting as he saw my face. “Yes—that's it—the ghost,” I stam- mered. “Drive back to Karnoul. 1am not going to Ragorsk.” 1 dared not ask him of Katrina. Tuberculosis Death Rate Lower. The whole tuberculogis crusade, in which children are so largely the bene- ficiaries, would have been impossible without the use of rabbits and guinea | pigs. By the use of tuberculic it is now possible to make a Jiagnosis so warly in life that a large portion of cases are cured. Humpbacked chil- dren and permanent lameness (rom tu- berculosis of the spine and hip joint are rapidly disappearing. In 20 years the death rate from tuberculosis in New York has been reduced about 40 per cent; in Boston 55 per cent. Study of tuberculosis in animals has proved also that the disease is not inherited.

It was the type . which has s wire rod sheathed in a ! phial of alcohol, from which the rod ! 1s drawn to be dipped in a jet ot fire. ' So proud was the cigarmaker of the | new fixture that he pointed it out to | every customer with special courtesy. ' ‘While thus engaged one evening re- cently he was' borrified to discover that the wire rod with its beautiful ; bronge handle was missing. i “It was here & moment since,” he | declared to s man who was waiting for a light. “Where can it be?” “Easy question to answer,” smiled ! the customer. “That little rod is out there on the pavement just outside the door. I have mot seen it, but I, know it is there.” “Sure enough, it is there,” ex-; claimed the cigarmaker, rushing to recover his p-operty. “How did you know that?” “In my business, which happens to be that of a professional detective,” , exclaimed the customer, “I find that | & knowledge of the human inclination . to do many trifiing things unconscious- ly is of value. In the present case ! force of habit caused your last cus- | tomer to throw away the cigar lighter | after using it precisely as if it were . a match. He did it without thinking. He threw the rod either to the right ,or left, after lighting his cigar, ac- ! cording to the hand he had used. | “Now, the rod was not on the floor | to his left, for I looked carefully when | You spoke. Consequently it had to be on the pavement, as the cigar lighter | stands just next to the open door. “Here is roy card. If ever you need a detective let me know." Needless Interruptions. A New Yorker writes the Times to | protest against a habit he says met- i ropolitan women have of knitting at concerts. Recently, he declares, he was obliged to sit near a knitter and ! the click of her busy needles dis- turbed him. Here is a serious issue. One has iseen a woman, returning from mar- | ket, shelling her beans on the street car. There could be no objection to her plucking a holiday goose under the same circumstances, provided she didn’t scatter feathers on the floor. But knitting at a concert is differ- i ent. A knitting needle obbligato to & ' harp selection might lack something of the ideal. a basket of corn to husk, or an arm- ful of stockings to darn. Almost any concert enthusiast will | agree with the Times complainant. It | the music is not to one's liking it is | better to exchange whispered stories | with one’s neighbor than to disturb the assemblage with clicking needles. | ——————————————————————— SANITARY FRESSING CLUB CLEANING, PRESSING.
