without Jack? He had been her all.
Theirs was a runaway match. and the
young couple had come to the far west
to make their home away from her
angry relatives. They had been happy
for six years; now it was over.
She must leave the house, for MI
Bishop said so. Mr.. Bishop was the
manager of the great corporation ior
which Jack had worked. Corporations
are reputed to be heartless. In this
case she had found it otherwise. Inc
Blank Company had helped her an
through, with liberality which, hau
she known 1t, was greater than sue
had the right to expect. Poor woman
she was too numb and dazed to expect
anything; still she tried to feel CRATE
full and to express herself properly.
Mr.. Bishops time was precious, and IL
was much that he had come In person
to talk over her plans and prospects
She had been obliged to confess ina
she had none. The company in when
Jacks life was insured had failed the
week he died; the one thing for which
she was thankful was that he did not
know II. There was a little money IN
bank, and the house. a small one, only
partly paid for.
Mr.. Bishop advised her to let the
house; it would sell for but little, and
property in that neighborhood was
steadily advancing in value. The
probable rent would pay taxes and in
terest on the mortgage. Whatever
boxes she wished to store could be
sent to the warehouses OF the Blank
Company; there would be no charge.
Then he asked whether she had not

know that she could not write; In So

so they are-the graves of dead hopes.

murmured, ''lndeed?" with the air of

Not yet. The ground out there
might open and swallow us
But another such shock will bring
the house down over us.
Hardly. That's only the second
shock. The third won't be much

RUSSIAN SACRED PICTURES.
Icons That Stand on Shelves opposit.
Russian Doora.

looms That Stand on Shelves Opposite
Russian Doors.
They are to be seen everywhere-the
icons. or sacred pictures of the Rus
slams. They are found standing on a
shelf opposite the door of every Rus
sian room. be it shop or private house.
market stall, or railway booking Office.
Many also are found in the streets,
outside churches or in shrines where
passers-by stop and make obeisance.
1t is matter of wonder to the stranger
when his droshky driver stops sudden
ly IN the middle of the road, doffs his
hat and mutters few words of prayer.
His devotion to the icons seems to the
foreigner as strange as the fact that
he devoutly crosses himself before he
entrusts himself and his vehicle to
bridge. A writer in the Sunday Maya
zine explains that icons vary much in
material and value, but little in style.
The style is always strictly Byzantine.
and is copied faithfully from some old
picture, in its turn slavish copy OF
another. The story of the manufacture
Of the icons is interesting. Most of
them are made in the Province of
Vladimir by peasants who work at
them in their cottages. Very much
like an up-to-date factory process is
the fashioning of these pictures. The
work passes from hand to hand. One
man makes the boards, another paints
the backgrounds. third puts in the
figures, and the picture passes on from
fashioner to fashioner until all is COM
plete. 1t is said that as many as two
millions of icons are produced each
year. Some of those hung in the
churches are valuable, being, like that
of Our Lady of Kazan, in the cathedral
in ST. Petersburg, covered with, and
indeed almost made of. precious stones.
