as he usually did. to take tea with the
lovely widow Alexandra Wassilyevna, who
received him. contrary to the usual GUS

With tender anxiety, he asked the reason

TO- say, at the rate of 10000 rubles per
mile.
Dimitri went to work ait once. But as
he reckoned that each mile would cost
him 5000 rubies, at which rate he would
only be able to pocket 10000 rubies on the
whole transaction, IL struck him he could
not afford to make a foundation to the
road. Nor did he; so that the work got
on quickly. Three miles were already fin-
ished, and Dimitri was about to travel
to the government town to receive the
rest OF the engineering money, when a
fatal thing happened. Alexandra sudden
~ eloped with a Cossack hetman named
Nicolai Fomitch Dargan, SO that the
reason for the road existed no longer.
Just as Dimitri, with full pockets. but
sore heart, was issuing from the door
Of the governors palace, he ran into
the arms of a lieutenant of dragons.
Hello. Dimitri," said the lieutenant 'it's
skis and have a drink" At Antonski's
they found more dragons, and a little
play was proposed. Dimitri had bad luck,
and when he left he had lost 200. 900 rubies.
He went home very cross. He had lost
Alexandra, he had lost the money for
the rest Of the road, and he was deter
mined not to spend on 1t what he had al
ready saved out OF it. So he first gave
orders TO leave off working. BY and by
complaints reached the governors ears,
and he ordered Dimitri to appear before
him.
"Dimitri Dimitriewitch," said his ex-
eellency in severe tones, take a cigar
ITO hear It to obey. your excellency.'
replied the culprit doing as he was told.
''Dimitri Dimitrewitch," continued the
governor. Il have heard terrible tales of
you. Why did you not have foundation

II forgot It, your excellency."
And why didn't you finish the road ?"
