Anna Dassojewa. the peasant woman
Of Abbas Tuman who saw the caro-

and the cart drew aside TO let him pass.
The czarowitz bowed. smiled and pro-
ccedtd. Ten minutes later the woman
noticed the czarowitx returning very
slowly. The story. best related In her
own simple way. is as follows:
II cannot forget II. see II before
me now. There he comes. the bene-
factor. back on his machine. quite pale
and continually splitting. He was not
yet quite close TO me when he appeared

backward aud forward. Yes! Now l
think to myself. IL is because Of his spit
ting. lie first turned his head to one
side and then to the other.
suddenly see how all at once he
sinks on one side. then sits straight
again. and then falls 10 much on one
side that he seems to fall quite OF. I
think something wrong here. Either
the machine II spoiled or something
else. Wait; / ihiak l will jump down
from the cart. So jumped down. and
nj the same moment. pale. 81 pale that
l cannot compare Il TO anything. he
nearly falls OF. and ON his white uni
form coat there Il blood.

II do not know where got the cour-
age. but I came near. and just then h-
fell Into my hands. his eyes wide open.
lie looks nj mr. and over his face ny lit
tie spots. One little spot sricklcs, then
another: they meet and grow. look
at the little spots on his brow. Then
also hold his hand. Ills nails seem 10
grow darker. Ills eyes seem To b~ hook.

Ills lips arc bathed In blood. lie sighs
and one hcars ~ u something IL bub.

II ran TO my cart. .sis-d aa empty
pitcher and drew water.
Drink say. and he raises his
hand just = little.
'whcn put the Jug TO his mouth Il
sretns to mr he has eirnch~d his teeth.
and 30 do not hear . word from him.
! saw how his arm. became weak and
dropped like whips. II seemed TO grow
dark before my eyes. do not k;,,w

but he turns his head little ON one
side and seems rs II he were still look.
