isf.ctory beating. Nadejna cried and
lsmeuted her hard fate in manner that
would have softened any but an injured
husband. She consigned Dimitri tn
classic. but unmentionable shades-and
pursued her old ways - before.
At the time our story opens Dimitri
had fallen into q regular habit of beating
his wife on Sundays and Fridays, imme-
diately after the MONDAY meal, and just
before his post prandial nap. He fancied
this act gave to his dreams delightful
color, and the consciousness of having
done his duty gave to slumber . delight
full tranquility.
Now, if Nsdejna was given to flirting
iu defiance of her husband, In return she
thoroughly abhorred the law represented
in the person of her husband, and inces-
sanity schemed for vengeance, which
eiuded her most artful endeavors.
1t was not merely that she desired to
escape the too frequent whippings, she
yearned also to infict on Dimitri, blow
for blow, an equivalent for what she had
received, and in addition, to rid herself
of his presence forever. 1t was her con-

lures of the damned In the way in which
they are supposed to suffer, that is, per-
petually. But nothing worthy of her
purpose occurred to her sluggish fancy.
It was of the first importance, moreover,
that no betrayal should disclose the in
stigator of the punishment. After many
vain attempts to accomplish her purpose
secretly, she finally became desperate and
resolved to adopt heroic measures, al
though so repugnant; when, happily, it
vas rumored about Moscow that the Grand
Duke was afflicted with the most frightful
attack of govt, which the physicians
frankly confessed they were unable
to cure. It was also said that
the Grand Duke had offered q
most attractive reward to any one, ply
sician, boyard, peasant or whatnot who
would relieve him. Moreover the sue
ceseful one should be ennobled and dec
GRATED like heather idol.
This bit of news came to her ears on
Friday, when, alack! she had received
an extraordinary allowance Of the Gus
tomary lash. Her resolution was taken.
It might not be- she unused, the realization
of her dream of vengeance, but at any
rate it would be something effectual in
its way. She bent her steps in the d.
rection of the palace of the Tsar, and ar
irving demanded admittance to the royal
presence, explaining that she carried
remedy never known to fail in curing the
govt. She was shown up at once, when,
Frustrating herself before his majesty,
who happened at the moment to be spread
out on a leather divan, in anything but
royal state, she ssid: "Ah, sire, if l were
only my husband! tomorrow you would
be cured"
The Grand Duke regarded her quiz
xicslly.
AYES, Master. He knows q remedy
safe and simple. Why, but fortnight

will be happy to confirm what / have
said. But, alas! Sire, Dimitri Psulovitch
psetends that the welfare of Moecow de-
0ands that you should die. 1t 10 for that
reason he hiss RETAINED from coming to
