lit is the will Of God, hut ! don't be-
lieve that bell ever put his foot to the
ground again. The Fcldsher has been four
times to zee him, and the doctor himself
came once, and said that he must be
brought to the hospital" "And why has
he not been taken therel" ''Iiow could
he be takenf Who is to carry him: DO
you think he's baby! The hospital is
forty versts of. ii you put him in u
cart he would die before he had gone q
verst. And then, who knows what they
do with people in the hospital! This
last question contained probably the true
reason why the doctors orders had been
disobcyed. "Very we'll; that's enough !;
hold your tongue" says the gray-beard
of the little group to the woman; and
then, turning to the other peasants, re-
marks: "There is nothing to he done.
The Stanovoi (officer of the rural police
will be here one of these days, and will
make row again if we don't elect
new Elder. Whom shall we choose"
As soon as this question is asked, sew
eral peasants look down to the ground or
try in some way to avoid attracting at
tention, least their names should be sug-
gested. When the silence has continued
q minute or two, the gray beard says:
"There is Alexei Ivanof; he has not
served yeti" ayes, yes, Alexei Ivanofr'
shout half dozen voices, belonging
probably to peasants who fear they may
be elected. Alexei protests in the strong
est terms. He cannot say that he is. i'll,
because his big ruddy face would give
him the lie direct, but he finds half a
dozen other reasons why he should not
be chosen, and requests to be excused.
But his protestations are not listened to,
and the proceedings terminate. A new
village Elder has been elected..-Fr0m
