THE STORY OF A SERF.


\ Millionaire Slave Who Bought HE
Liberty with Barrel of Oysters.
Among the wealthiest bankers OF
Russia are the noble members of the
house of Schalouchine. A couple OF
generations ago thcir ancestor was a
serf, owned by one Count Schermeter.
By dint of great industry this se1
amassed an enormous fortune. All his
efforts to purchase his freedom, how
ever were of no avail, and offers as
high as S2j0,00O were scornfully re-
jected by his master, who seemed
actually to enjoy the torture he inh cted
on his millionaire slave, who could
neither bequeath his fortune to his
children, nor otherwise benefit them
without the consent of his lord. 1t
happened one day that the Count had
invited several friends to ad'nner party,
and when his ma.tre d'hOte laid before
him the menu for inspection, he was
aghast to find that oysters did not figure
among the hOrS d'HuCreS. In answer
to his indignant remonstrances that
functionary assured him that oysters
were uOJ W Dt udl dJ any price. AT
the height of the angry scene, which
was continued even in the presence of
of the guests. SchalouchinG was an
nounced. and in order to vent his wrath
on the unfortunate serf. the Count
shouted out: 'Show the slave in.
What do you want, dog? If you want
your freedom, tell YOU | will never
grant it, | care not for any oler YOU
may make-no, not for amillion roubles!
A few dozen oysters at this moment
would be worth more to me-" do |
understand my lord asked the serf,
"that you would grant me my freedom
if | procure them for your Yes, "
replied the Count, much to the amuse-
ment Of his guests. As it happened,
Schalouchine had brought a barrel of
oysters with him as a gift to his master.
knowing of the great dinner party
They were brought in; the deed of free
dom was imme lately signed; and the
Count, addressing his former slave
with the utmost courtesy, said; "Sir,
may invite you to join us?"-London
