weary beasts come forward and place

Finlanders tearing furiously on the reins.
Sufficiently in the rear to astonish their
hackers are the Orloff stations, veritable
wonders of beauty and breed.
Finally, following at long distance be-

strange beasts with their Laplandish sled.
They run irregularly, and their little thin
bells give out melancholy sound. 1t is in
this order that the sleds pass for the first

heavy hat drawn down to his eyes, he grips

/ aloud.

Months have passed, and the extraor-

bourgeois is no more than ancient history
Nobody has learned the identity of the
mysterious peasant. Many believed him a
sorcerer. Others thought him great doc
tor of some unknown science, whose pow
erful potion had galvanized the exhausted
beasts. But it is all only a memory now.
A new sensation is on the taps.
All ST. Petersburg is talking of the
marriage of Prince Alexander Repine to
Princess Elisaveta Palarona.
1t is evening, and Veta stands for the
first time in her husbands home. She Is
alone on great veranda that half circles
the palace She still wears her wedding
sparkle in her hair.
Mistress" says voice behind her She
turns to confront her husbands faithful

thither"
Eyes"
She follows him down the steps with all
the lazy insolence of fine lady who grants
favor: her long gown sweeps the dew off
the grass, and the moonlight mirrors it
self in the soft curves of her naked arms
and shoulders.
Presently she stops, stricken by a mys-
terious influence. A moment more and
strange sight meets her view. They are
the winners of the Neva. With wave
from her hand Ivan goes. The horses
whinny softly at the sound of her voice
and nose her hair and face with doglike
gentleness.
"Why are you here'" she whispers, a
sudden catch in her throat that she stiles
against the emaciated cheek nearest her.
From out of the deep shadow comes a
trembling voice. "Why do you weep,
princesss" it says.
She sees him cow for the first time, still
in his peasants garb and with head IN
covered, low before her. 1t is a noble head,
with splendid lines and beautiful mouth,
but worn and shadowed as those Of the
famished beasts beside him.
Why are they like this, Sergius' The
best racers in the kingdom could have
brought their price There certainly was
no need TO starve them"
I've have starved together. princess" he
answers, gently.
Then the story that the people tell Is
true;''
Quite true"
With the skeleton creatures between
them they are silent wavering moment.
Then, with mute caress OF their unkempt
necks, he says: BE kind TO Sergias Hotz-
ka's only friends. Good night, Elisayets

"Repiner' she had forgotten that

FAREWELL he repeats.

close behind him: then turn with dumb,
questioning eyes TO the paIlid woman be-
ode them.
