The old people awoke and went into the
sitting room, Gavril in nightcap and
flannel Jacket, Praskovia in a wadded dr. ess-
ing gown. The samovar was, brought in,
and Gavril sent the little maid to ask Maria
how she was and how she had slept. The
little maid returned, saying that her young
lady had slept badly, but that she was better
now, and that she would come into the
sitting room in a moment. And indeed the
door opened and Maria came in and wished
her papa and mamma good morning.
Chow is your headache, Masha?" famil-
lar for Mary) inquired Gavril:
"Better, papa" answered Masha-
soThe fumes from the stoves must have
given you your headache remarked Pras-
kovia.
s:Perbaps so. mamma" replied Masha.
The day passed well enough, but in the
night Masha was takenill. A doctor was sent
for from town. He came toward evening
and found the patient delirious. Soon she
was in a severe fever, and in a fortnight
the moor patient was on the brink of the
grave.
No member ofthe family knew anything
of the flight from home. The letters writ
ten bv Masha the evening before had been
burnt, and the maid, fearing the wrath of
the master and mistress, had not breathed a
word The priest, the ex-cornet, the big
mustached surveyor, and the little lancer
were equally discreet, and with good rea-
son. Tereshka, the eoachman, never said
too much, not even in his drink. Thus the
secret was kept better than it might have
been by half dozen conspirators.
But Maria herself, in the course of her
long fever, let out her secret. Neverthe-
less, her words were so disconnected that
her mother, who never left her bedside,
could only make out from them that her
daughter was desperately in love with Vlad-
imir, and that probably love was the cause
of her illness. She consulted her husband
and some of her neighbors, and at last it
was decidedly unanimously that the fate of
Maria ought not to be interfered with, that
a woman must not ride away from the man
she is destined to marry, that poverty is no

wind rose, and soon there was q driving
snowstorm so heavy and so severe that he
could not see. In a moment the road was
covered with snow. All Landmarks dlsap-
peared in the murkv yellow darkness,
through which fell white flakes of snow.
Sky and earth became merged into one.
Vladimir, in the midst of the field, tried in
vain to get to the road The horse walked
on at random, and every moment stepped
either into deep snow or into a rut, so that
the sledge was constantly upsetting. Vladi-
mir tried at least not to lose the right direction
but it seemed to him that more than half an
hour had passed, and he had not yet reached
the Jadrino wood. Another ten minutes
passed, and still the wood was invisible
Vladimir drove across fields intersected by
deep bitches. The snowstorm did not
abate and the sky did not clear. The horse
was getting tired and the perspiratlon
