frightened Of something, he moved out
of the way. It was Lozinsky, who
passed him and came up to my door. A
handsome young fellow he was you
know, of that nice Polish type; broad
shouldered, his head covered with fine:
curly hair as with cap, and with beau
tiful blue eyes. So blooming, so fresh,
SO healthy. He stopped in front of my
window, so that could see the whole
of his face. A dreadful, gaunt, livid
face. 'Kryltzoff, have you any cigar.

the assistant hurriedly pulled out his
cigarette case and passed it to him. He
took out one, the assistant struck q
match, and he lit the cigarette and be-

something, he began to speak. 1T is

his white young throat, from which
could not take my eyes, and
he stopped. Yes. At that moment

fine, Jewish voice. Lozinsky threw
away the cigarette and stepped
from the door. And Rozovsky appeared
at the window. His childish face, with
the limpid black eyes, were red and
moist He also had clean linen on, the
trousers were too wide, and he kept
pulling them up and trembled all over.

one answered and he looked inquiring-

Yes. Suddenly the assistant again put
on a stern expression, and called out in
kind of squeaking tone: Now. then,
no nonsense. Let us co. Rozovsky
seemed incapable of understanding
what awaited him, and hurried, almost
ran, in front of him all along the cor
ridor. But then he drew, back, and I,
could hear his shrill voice and his cries,
then the tramplfng Of feet, and general
hubbub. He was shrieking and Sob

and all was quiet. Yes. And so they
hanged them. Throttled them both
with rope. A Waterman, another one,
saw it done, and told me that Lozinsky
did not resist, but Rozovsky struggled
for long time, so that they had to pull
him up on to the scaffold and to force
his head into the moose. Yes. This
| Waterman was a stupid fellow. He

be frightful, but it was not at all fright
full. After they were hanged they only
shrugged their shoulders twice, like

convulsively rose and fell. Then the
hangman pulled bit so as to tighten
the moose, and it was all up, and they
never budged.'" And Kryltzoff re-
peated the watchman's words: Not at
all frightful,' and tried to smile, but
burst into tears instead"
For a long. time after that he kept
silent, breathing heavily, and repress-
ing the choking sobs.
"From that time I became revolu-
zionist. Yes" he said, when he was
quieter and finished his story in few
words. He belonged to the Narodovoltzy
party, and was even at the head of the
disorganizing group, whose object was
to terrorize the government so that it
should give up its power of it's own ac-
cord: With this object he travelled to
Petersburg, to Kiev, to Odessa and
abroad. and was everywhere successful.
A man in whom he had full confidence
betrayed him. He was arrested, tried,
kept in prison for two years, and con-
demned to death, but the sentence was
mitigated to one of hard labor for life.
He went into consumption while in
prison. and in the condition he was
now placed he had scarcely more than a
few months longer to live. This he
knew, but did not repent of his action,
but said that if he had another life he
would use it in the same way to destroy
the conditions in which such things az
he had seen were possible.
why One Man Married.
Gen. Gordon once said that the
reason why he did not marry was
that he had never found woman
who was prepared to accompany him
to the ends of the earth. Such a
woman Sir Henry NJ. Lawrence did
find. She went with him, says his
biographer, into every difficult and
dangerous place where his great work
of India called him. One day Lord
John Lawrence, Sir Henry's younger
brother, was. sitting in his drawing.

Lord John went to his book; but
