Petroff, but love is not love which alters
when Ii alteration finds" and the god OF
her idolatry retained mis- place in herl
heart.
Her bosom's lord, however sat llgntlyi
on his throne. for "he trudged along, un-
knowing what he sought, and whistled eS
he went for want OF thought" But out OF
sight was not in this case out of mind.
OLGA continued TO indulge in the pleasing
dreams begotten of fancy. until at last She
unburdened her soul to her parents ana
told them she must marry her rescuer or
die. The old folks ridlculed the notion of
their daughter marrying a tramp, who if
found, would be certainly arrested and de-
ported "by etape" to Siberia, and added
that In any case he had disappeared from
their horizon, and could no more be dis
covered again that last years SHOWS. The
love-lorn maiden replied to the effect that
"the rank Is but the guinea stamp, the
mans the gowd for a that" aud thaU
find him she would, or die in the attempt.
This, as we said, occurred about two
years ago. Olga Immediately afterward
vanished from the parental home, to the
intense grief of her doting father and
mother, who left nothing undone TO 1s-
certain her whereabouts. No more, how
ever, was ever heard of her until few
days ago, when, after series of wander

narrowing hardships she discovered her
true love in one OF those wretched night
refugees where the jetsam and aotsam in
Russian humanity pause awhile before
taking the fatal step that lands them In
crime or in eternity.

beria. And She prosecuted her research
with these gloomy possibilities in view.
Faithful and perseverance, however, final
ly triumphcd. Olga found her rescuer,
introduced herself and, proposed. and be-
came engaged to him on the spot.
There was now no longer any one to-
oppose the union Of the loving couple, as
the maiden's parents died heartbroken q
twelve-month ago. Having ordered suit
of decent clothes for her bridegroom, Oh
ga next set about obtaining his papers and
his passports, which had long remained i'm
the hands OF the police. And this is
where the benefcent action Of that Proyi-
dence which is supposed to watch over
the interests of dislnterested lovers made
itself unexpectedly felt.
The police, while examining the papers,
were astonlshed and delighted to discover
that a relative of the tramp, a Polish
count, died intestate three years ago and
that the humble bridegroom Is now the
sole heir to his estates and titles.
The new-hedged nobleman will be mar

countess his life-partner, can reflect with
sigh of relief and happiness on the fact
that, IL the course of true love does not
run smooth, all's well that ends well and
that in such a cause past pain is pleasure.
