"That man I am to beat? No, neverP'
"Well," said Miller, "then you will have
to die, too. Comrades, this Vermin wriJh-
ing at our feet is one of our worst and cruel
est enemies. He has the death of many q
brother on his conscience. You are all of
YOU soldiers, and therefore it is no disgrace
to anyone to carry out the sentence which
pronounce. 1t is death for the Captain OF
Irkutsk, and death by being shot. We
have only two guns, but they will suffice.
Two men forward
Instantly two exiles advanced who had
once been dependent on the hated Captain,
and had suffered accordingly.
The hesitation of the Captain had, how
ever, been founded only upon the fear OF
the inferior before the superior. When he
saw death so near to himself his apprehen-
sions vanished, and he cried:
'Stop, I'll infict the punishment p

form," commanded Miller.

him Visibly. Like a wolf he fell upon the
Colonel, tore off the lace and the whole uni.

The Captain, half insane with fear, tore
off his shirt also, leaving the broad back of
the Colonel of the gendarmes bare. The ex-
lies looked euriously at the proceeding.

kin once more.
"Strikei' commanded Miller.
The nagaika vhizzed through the air, and
Palkin uttered cry that went through
marrow and bone, as Russians say.
Captain, strike harder if you wish to
save your lifeP'
The man struck almost without knowing
what he did. At the twentieth blow Palkin
roared like a wild beast.
Rather kill me at once, but cease tortur-
ing meP'
Miller laughed aloud.
'Did not say 50? You have weakened
very quickly. Captain, mind, if you do not
use the nagaika we'll"
Miller's revenge was, however, not to be
complete. Suddenly one of the exiles, who
had stood sentinel, rushed in, exclaiming:
take carel A troop of soldiers is sp-
preaching the village. We must have been
careless and allowed one of the Cossacks to
escape"
Let US escapel' cried Miller. At the
same time he drew his dagger and threw it
at Palkin, but the hut was too dark and the
dagger stuck In the post without injuring
Palkin. Miller jumped out of the window;
all the others had scattered in q moment.
Helen alone remained near the body Of
Popoff.
She did hot listen to one of..tne exiles who
asked her to go with them. The Captain
alone saw and heard nothing; he continued
pitilessIy to inhict blow for blow. Only
when all the exiles had left, and the room
had become quiet, he looked around, and,
loi he was alone with Pslkin. Helen only
kneeling at her betrothed's side. The heavy
tread of approaching soldiers, the rattline
OF arms became audible. The Captain be-
came aware that help came for Palkin. In.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.-Ever
since Mr.. Mast has been in Washington
have labored diligently to correct his false
ideas of art, and to develop him along the
lines of fine drawing. At the very first !
perceived he had some natural talent for
making pictures, and felt it to be my duty
to guide and encourage him. But have
had pretty hard time of 1t. No matter
how often 1 might caution him to be more
careful, more precise, could never get him
to heed the instruction. He would
go on dashing off pictures with as
free a hand and as gallus q man.

Amusing Custom That Still Prevails Among
the Hindoos of Bengal.

A ludicrous custom is still followed in
Hindoo households of Bengal. The last day
OF Falgoon, that fell on March IL. was OBJ
served in worshlpping Ghantoo. the god of
itches and the diseases of the skin which
afflict the natives. Very early on the morn
ing of this day the mistresses of the families,
changing their noctural attire, put useless
black earthen vessel outside the threshold
OF their back doors. with handful of rice
and masoor dal, four cowries, and piece of
rag smeared with tumeric. Wild flowers
appearing in this season-called Ghantoo
tool-are offered in worship. The young
boys of the families stand in semi-circle
before the mistresses, with cudgels in their
hands.
When the conches are sounded by the
female worshipers, as the signal Of the
poojah being over, the boys break the veG-
sells into atoms. The mirthful children, in
their anxiety 10 strike the first blow, some
times bruise the fingers and hands of the
matron. The piece Of rag is preserved over
the doors OF the houses in zenana. In the
evening of the day the boys of the lower
order OF the villages sing the songs of the
occasion in chorus from door to door for pie,

broad Senator from the narrow state oil
Florida. But, Mr.. Mast, you have given
him no legs. Is that intended to De re-
iection upon his understanding, or is II an
allegorical representation of the Senatoriai
situation in his State?"
"Well, if what I hear of that situation De

Daring Day Crockett.

Nashville Herald
The man the one hundred and
fourth anniversary Of whose birth
was recently celebrated at Law
renceburg, is oneof themost unique
figures standing out in the annals
of this country. Dayy Crockett was
Of Scotch-Irish ancestry and first
saw the light at Limestone Creek,
a tributary Of the Nolachucky Riv-
er, in East Tennessee. When a
mere lad his parents moved to
Washington County where his
father kept tavern.
Little David was sent to dis
trict school, but he had fight with
another boy, and for fear Of his
father and teacher ran away. He
remained from home several years,
leading nomadic life. He became
an expert with q rife, one of the
best in the country, frequently
winning prizes at matches. He
"fell in love" when about fifteen,
but the idol of his heart kicked"
him because he was illiterate This
lesson spurred his ambition and
he learned how to read and write.
When twenty-one years old he
married a lady whose mother had
| bitterly opposed him.
Not long afterward he moved to
Lincoln County. When he was
twenty-six years old the Greek war
broke out. Davy shouldered his
rifle, joined Old Hickory, and I'M
der that great commander fought
the redskins until the close Of the
war; In 1921 he was appointed a
magistrate. His political career
opened with his entrance into the
Legislature, where he remained for
three years. Then he moved to
Obion County and was again elect
ed to the legislature. It was in
this canvass that he used the ex-
preston which has come down to
posterity: "Be sure you're right
and then go ahead"
Crockett's ambition then turned
to Congress, and again he was sue
cessful. He served two terms, was
then beaten, but the next time re-
elected. 1t was while serving this
latter term that he made tour Of
the principal northern and eastern
cities. His fame as on Indian
fighter, humorist, and rifle shot
was national and he was given an
ovation everywhere he went. The
next year he was defeated for Con
gress by unfair means, he claimed,
and left for Texas to help her fight
for independence. He was killed
I at the massacre of the Alamo.

bic for the force bill, and threaten

do not elect a majority of the next

A Fatal Bant;s,,

PERRY, Mich. Oct. 20.-Last sum-
mer William Fillinger and his wife,
who live three miles from here attended
q series of revivals, and became religion
mad in a mild way. With them lived
Fillinger's mother, who has long been
physically frail. 1t worried Filiinger
and his wife that the elder woman was
unbaptized, and they decided that the
necessary religious rites should be per-
formed, although the poor woman was
confined to her bed, unable even TO rise.
Bringing water to her room, they began
the ceremony by dashing water in her
face, and continued it until from shock
and exhaustion their victim died. Fill
hnger and his wife were arrested and
taken to Jail at Corunna.
