realized that he had lost day at crisis
when day meant everything to him.
He looked around him with that strange
feeling of pre-existence which always
came upon him when he was thrown in
contact with common people-a feeling OF
having. in some far off time, been at home
with them, a powerful affinity toward
them, which he hated. and even feared.
His mothers family had started century
before from droschky driver, and in spite
of three generations of money and social
position more than one of them had shown
strange lapses into their original con-
dition.
His fathers family. on the contrary, had
behind it centuries of distinction. His
mother-one of the best Of women-no
matter how finely she was dressed, always
look ed like the women one sees working in
the fields at harvest time. His father had
looked like a prince OF the blood royal.
Volkonsky himself had a strikingly aristo-
cratic bearing, from the top OF his hand
some head, slightly bald at the temples, to
his slim, high-arched feet, but he always
felt that under this fresh, fine skin of his
dwelt TWO men-the man who liked the
The morning call., 1894-10-07

Imagine the feelings of Count Feodor
Volkonsky, the curled darling of st. Pc
tersburg's society, one afternoon in No
vemher, literally imprisoned in country
inn and posting-house, eighteen verst from
a railway station, and o horses to be had
for love or money! An epidemic among
horses was at its height, and the two which
had brought Count Feodor and his valet
that far Oh their journey had given out
hopelessly at this miserable village. There
were, it is true. two scraggy creatures in
the tavern-keeper's stables, but there was
a probability that Cars messenger
would require them next day, so that they
were out of the question.
Count Feodor stood at window Of the
living room common to Russian taverns Of
this class, and looked out Sowing upon
the dreary, monotonous landscape, still
visible through the dim panes of glass, al
though the autumn light was fast waning.
A few wretcbed houses were grouped
around the tavern. A double row of
stunted lindens, showing black against the
snow-covered ground, made sort of IT.

His character for manliness had been
shown in the defense of Sebastopol, where
he had worked his battery to the admira-
ton of the French and English as well as
his own countrymen, 80 this extreme ele-
gance on his part was looked upon as the
sole affectation of brave and determined
man.
Much as Volkonsky hated the losing of
the appointment he hated the idea of stay
ing at this mean tavern almost as much,
yet how strangely at home he felt. The
odor of the sheepskin shubkas that pene-
trated the place seemed hatefully natural
to him. And the horses were in the
stables. He could hear their stamping oc-
casionally and the rattle of the rickety
managers as the horses wouli bury their
noses in them looking for stray bits of
forage. just then old Petroff entered with

felt 1t, he was attacked unprepared and
with nothing TO distract him from getting

yellow humanity of all classes, ages and

are decorated with arrows, and you know
they are on their way to the shooting
