"A drum"
Then the mujik knew that he had found
the thing Maria asked him to procure. He
begged the stranger to give it to him. but
was refused. and Jemeljan waited until the
drummer fell down exhausted. Then he
took the drum and made Of with it.

The Spirit of Liberty.

When Jemeljan arrived at his house he
found the wife of his bosom gone. The
Landlord had taken her the moment he
turned his back. ITO the palace" cried the
peasant. Il won't leave her another mo-
ment in the murderer's keeping But the
Marshal defende the entrance. His Lord
ship has no time for such as thee" lie said;
come back in a few days Or a few years.
We are not in a hurry now"
Il shall see the Master whether 1 am
wanted or not" cried Jemeljan so loud
that the Landlord recognized his voice and,
to make an end of it all, stepped out upon
the balcony.
Where dost come from?' he asked
sternly.
From Gods own country. the land of

drum.

thing like that! Hence. thou hast d~isobeyed
me twice, while once would be enough to
condemn thee. Marshal. off with this ras-
caIS mead
As the Master pronounced these words.
Jemeljan stepped into the center Of the
square and sounded the alarm. sounded it
right we'll by working the sticks with all
the force at his command.
And the Landlords retainers focked to
him from wardroom and battle-ground. from
post and road, lowering their colors and
asking his orders. And all the people fol-
lowed. During the first hour he marshaled
ten thousand. at the close Of the second
fifty thousand backed him up-him and his
wife, for the Landlord had sent her back
ere he had sounded the drum five minutes.
When finally the people forced an en-
trance into the stronghold they found it
empty.

CHAPTER HI.
Mother of the People.

When Jemeljan had told the story Of his
new troubles, his good wife grew thought
full. At last, she said: This time the Land
lord seems to have sealed his WI DEATH
warrant. if only we keep our heads. How
ever, the thing passes our understanding;
we must lay the case before the Mother of
the People. Go To her without delay, and
ask her counsel. She will give thee a GER
tain article to take to the Landlord. Don't
worry If thou can't find me here upon thy
return. The master will probably carry me
off the moment thou art gone. but he won't
keep me long. For thou shalt be the means
of my delivery"
Once upon a time the Mother of the Peo-
pie was the representative of law and order
in all the Russias. Historians call her
''Werche," which is the equivalent of the
American Congress-" the French Cham
hers" and the English Parliament"
Yes. we used to have a parliament in
Russia that decided all important social
and political questions; at that time the
people were supreme and more powerful
than the Car and his government are now.
But Ivan the Terrible abolished the Rus
sian "'Wersche' with fire and sword, and
since then the Mother Of the People is
hardly more than a thought. a Pickering
hone. Still she lives, and Jemeljan found
her in the depth of the forest, after many
davs of wanderings. Maria Pozadniza" he
called her-the name that stands for ev-
ervthing heroic and good in Russian wom-
anbood. for Maria Pozadniza was first to
unfurl the banner OF revolt when Ivan
dared Law sacrilegious hands on the throat
of Russian liberties.
Maria heard what he had to say and a
smile of satisfaction spread over her
wrinkled face. A. last she said: Believe
me. thv grievance will right itself, son.
Meanwhile. partake of food and drink and

and addressed them as follows: ~"Laggards.

hear that the boys have taken fourth
place, turn out and give them royal

TRAINING SCHOOL.
The state superintendent, Hon. L. d.
Harvey under whose jurisdiction the
Training School is, visited us last
Wednesday. He was an attentive and
apparently an interested listener and
contributed not little to the pleasures
of the day by pertinent questions and
suggestions. His remarks at the close
of the day were both interesting and
helpful. He expressed his hearty APP
probation at the readiness of the pupils
to respond, and at their evident mastery
of the subjects and of themselves. He
is too wise and experienced teacher
to expect perfection any where, least of
all in a school having a course of only
one year; yet he found'much to coin
mend and said privately that the school
was no longer an experiment.
County Superintendent Lamont also
favored us with a visit in the afternoon
and watched with interest the conduct
of the school under the critical inspec-
ton of the State Superintendent. AS
the County Training school idea is the
child of Mr.. Lamont's brain, the ability
of the school to meet the test was a
source of no little qualification to the
county superintendent. To have con-
ceived place which the head of our
school system says will live and grow
and be of inestimable value is high
honor, and Mr.. Lamont is justly proud
of the achievement. He says the school
is now in better condition than ever be-
fore and that it is destined to work
great improvement in the schools OF
the county.
The Training School had its first ex-
perience Friday night in an athletic
contest. The girls base ball team hav-
ing had but four practice games won
the contest with the high school sophie
mores but went down before the all
conquering eighth graders.
An Alumni association is the next
important organization to be formed
Its importance and mutual helpfulness
need not be argued here. There should
be no delay in organizing and making
preparations for the exercises which
such organizations usually have at com
mencement time. Let us heat'at once
from every member of the class 1900
The time for graduation is June 28th.
We shall be pleased to welcome all
friends of the school as well as the
graduates at that time.
