A Winter Sunset.

Leafess are the trees; their purple branches
Spread themselves abroad, like reefs OF coral,
Rising silent
In the red OF the winter sunset.
From the hundred chimneys of the village,
Like the Altreet In the Arabian story,
Smoky columns 4
Tower aloft into the air OF amber.
At the window winks the Pickering hrelight;
Here and there the lamps OF evening glimmer,
Social watchfres
Answering one another through the darkness
On the hearth lighted logs are glowing,
And. like Ariel in the cloven pine tree,
For its freedom
Groans and signs the air imprisoned in them.
BY the freside the old man seated,
Seeing ruined cities in ashes,
Asking sadly
OF the past what 1t can ne'er restore them. p
BY the freside there are youthful dreamers
Building castles fair. with ststely stairwaya
Asking blindly
OF the future what IL cannot give them.
a.
BY the freside tragedies are acted,
In whose scenes appear two actors only
Wife and husband,
And above them God, the spectator.
BY the freside there Is peace and comfort;
Wives and children, with fair. thoughtful faces.
Waiting watching
For a well known ioctstep in the passage.
Each mans chimney is his Golden Milestone,
Is the central point from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateways OF the world around him.
In his farthes. wanderings still he secs Il,
Hears the talking fame, the answering nigh
wind,
As he heard them
When ne sat with those who were. but are not.
Happy he when neither wealth nor fashion
Nor the march OF the encroaching city
Drives an exile
From the earth OF his ancestral homestead.
We may build more splendid habitations,
Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures
But cannot
Buy with gold the old associationsl

Remains Will Not be Brought to
Akron Aor Interment.

Word was received from Spokane,
wash, this morning, telling of the
death of Phillip Herberich of this city,
who had been in business there for
10 years.
The dispatch stated that Herberich
had committed suicide by taking
strychnine. He has been in poor
health for years, and it was said that
he had recently received bad news
berich is a teacher at the Grace school,
and resides with her three children, ON
Home ST. The relatives here had re-
ceived word of the death of Mr.. Her
berich, but say that the suicide story
had not been in the information they
received.
Neither did he receive any bad news
from home recently, as his wife and
children are well and nothing unusual
has happened. II is not probable that
the remains will he brought here for
burial. Mr. Hcrberich was in the en-
craving business in Akron for several
years, before leaving for the west.

Ruric cared not to argue the point
with those who knew nothing about
the circumstances so he remained
silent during the rest of the ride. 1t
was near shutdown when they reach
ed the imperial palace, and Ruric
was conducted at once into the en-
peror's presence.
The Emperor Peter was in one of
the smaller audience chambers, sit
ting at a large table covered with
purple velvet heavily wrought with
gold, and upon either hand stood
some of his private attendants. He
was a young man, not yet so old as
Ruric by some three years, but his
face already wore a mature look.
His frame was solid, but not large,
being rather slight than otherwise
in physical bulk. His dress betrayed
negligence and carelessness and was
in marked contrast with the rich
garbs of his attendants. Such was
Peter of Russia, yet a youth, small
in frame and careless of those graces
which go to make up the sum of
court life, but still able to bear the
affairs of a great nation upon his
shoulders. Within that head work
ed mighty brain, and in that bos-
ON beat heart thirsting more for
the good of Russia than for self or
kindred.
Ruric saw Stephen Urzen and the
surgeon there, and he also saw the
Duke of lula there. He met the
dukes eye, and peculiar sensation
of fear ran through his mind as he
saw the stern, threatening express
sion that rested upon Olga'S face.
'Sire," spoke the leader of those
who had conducted the prisoner
thither, ''Ruric Newell stands before
you"
"Ah," uttered Peter, casting his
eagle eye oTer the forms before him.
"Nevel, advance"
With bold yet modest step Ruric
advanced to the table, and, with a
low bow, he awaited the emperor's
pleasure. There was a shudder per-
ceptible in the frames of those who
wished the prisoner well, for we'll
they knew their mighty rulers iron
will and sternness of legal purpose.

"Ruric, said the lieutenant after
they had ridden some little distance
and at the same time gazing won
deringly into his companions face,

seen weaker men than myself who
would overcome me easily Or, at
least, who might overcome me-"
'But they were not in this city,"
suggested Orsa, with a peculiar
shake of the head.
"True, Alaric. ! am not in the
habit of mentioning my own powers,
but yet | may say that there is no
man in Moscow who is my superior
in the use of any sort of offensive
arms"
The lieutenant readily admitted
the truth of this, and then the con-
versation turned upon the subject
of the count and the course he had
pursued with respect to the event
which had just transpired. This
conversation lasted until they reach
ed the door of Ruric's residence,
and, having thanked his friend for
his kindness and expressed the hope
that at some time he might have
opportunity to return some ade-
quate favor, the gunmaker entered
the house.

CHAPTER VII.
A STARTLING TRIAL.

In order to understand the cir
cumstances under which Ruric was
brought before the emperor it will
be necessary to 60 back a few hours.
The autocrat had occasion to send
for the surgeon, Kopani, who had
attended at the duel, and as he was
some time in answering the sum-
mons he was questioned when he did
come concerning his hardness. His
answer was that he had been attend
ing the Count Damonoff.
"And what ails the count?" asked
the emperor. "He was well yester.
day."

today"
"Look ye, Kopani," the young
ruler cried, who saw in an instant
that something unusual had hap
pened, "think not to conceal any
thing from me. What is it, now"
''Sire, | meant not to hide any,
thing from you. The count has been
engaged in duel"
"Ha! Was he challenged?"
"No, sire. He was the challenger"

party?"
