Alleged Action a Violation.

Self's alleged action constitutes viola
tion OF that part OF the civil service ac
prohibiting solicitations, collections. an
payments of funds to be used for politica
purposes.
Self, who is now employed in the Office
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
in Washington, was designated as one o
the persons on the committee to raise the
money. He was called up for examina-
tion by Commissioner Foulke. but refused
to give information pertinent to the en-
quiry. He not only refused to answer
proper and relevant questions. but wher
asked his reason for doing so. stated that
it was because he did not desire 10.
Acts Upon Which Request Is Based
The Commissioners, therefore, ask for
his dismissal under the following acts:
Section Q. civil service rule 9, provides
as follows:
For the purpose of enabling the Com
mission to make the investigations au-
thorized by section of the civil service
act, it shall be the duty of every officer
and employe In the public service to give

resentatives all proper and competent in
formation and testimony in regard TO all
matters enquired OF, and to subscribe such
testimony and make oath or affirma ton
to the same before some officer authorized
by law to administer oaths."

This Siberian was not Michael Stro-
goff" asked n second time Ivan Oga-
ref.
"No, It was not he" replied second
time Maria Strogoff. "Do you think
that for anything in the world would
deny n son whom God has given meY
Ivan ogareT regarded with an evil
eye the old woman who had braved
him to the face. He did not doubt but
that she had recognized her son in this
young Siberian. Now, If this son had
first renounced his mother and IL his
mother renounced him in her turn it
could occur only from the most weghty
motive.
Every circumstance went to confirm
his suspicious. If he could but lay his
hand upon this pretended merchant Of
Irkutsk and strip off his disguise, would
he not find n treasure indeed? Would
not his superiors well reward his adroit-
ness ana his success? Would not the
czar of Russia scowl with rage when
he learned that his courier was in the
hands of his foes?
Ivan Ogaren had therefore no doubt
that the pretended Nicholas korpanoff
was Michael Strogoff, courier of the
czar, seeking concealment under n false
name and charged with some mission
which 1t would have been important
for him to know. He therefore at once
gave orders for his pursuit. Then he
said
LET this woman be conducted to
Tomsk," returning toward Maria Stro-
goff.
And while the soldiers brutally drag
ged her along he added between his
teeth:
when the moment arrives, shall
know how to make her speak, this old

order to prevent his departure from
Omsk. But he had already passed
through one of the breaches in the for
tifications. His horse was galloping
over the steppe. and, not having been
Immediately pursued, the chances Of
escape were in his favor,
1t was on the Goth of July, at o'clock
In the evening, that Michael Strogotf
had left Omsk. This town is situated
about half way between Moscow and
Irkutsk, where it was necessary that
he should arrive within ten days If he
wished to get ahead of the Tartar col
umns. 1t was evident that the un-
lucky chance which had brought him
into the presence of his mother had be-
trayed his incognito. Ivan Ogareff was
no longer ignorant Of the fact that a
courier of the czar had just passed
Omsk, taking the direction of Irkutsk.
The dispatches which this courier bore
must have been of immense impor-
tance. Michael Strogoff knew, there
fore, that every effort would be made
to capture him.
But what he did not know and could
not know was that Maria Strogoff was
in the hands of Ivan Ogareff and that
she was about to atone, perhaps with
her life, for that natural exhibition of
her feelings which she had been unable
to restrain when she suddenly found
herself in the presence of her son. And
it was fortunate that he was ignorant
of 1t. Could he have withstood this
fresh trial?
Michael Strogoff urged on his horse,
imbuing him with all his own feverish
impatience, requiring of him one thing
only-namely, to bear him rapidly to
the next posting house, where he could
be exchanged for quicker conveyance.
At midnight he had cleared seventy
versts and halted at the station of Kou-
likovo. But there, as he feared, he
found neither horses nor carriages.
Several Tartar detachments had pass
ed along the highway of the steppe.
Everything had been stolen or requisi-
toned both in the villages and in the
posting houses 1t was with difficulty
that Michael Strogoff was even able to
obtain some refreshment for his horse
and himself
1t was Of great Importance therefore
to spare his horse, for he could not tell
when or how he might be able to re-
place it. Desiring, however. TO put the
greatest possible distance between him
self and the horsemen whom Ivan Oga-
ref had no doubt dispatched in pursuit,
he resolved to push on. After one
hours rest he resumed his course across
the steppe.
And on July 30 at p. m., Michael
strogoff, needless Of fatigue. arrived at
Elamsk.
There he was forced to give a nights
rest to his horse. The courageous
beast could not have continued that
journey any longer.
At Elamsk there was no meaps OF

When he recovered his senses, he
found himself in the cabin Of a mujik,
who had picked him up and cared for

For how long a time had he been the

not guess, but when he opened his eyes
he saw the handsome bearded face
bending over him and regarding him
with plying eyes He was about to
ask where he was when the mujik, an
ticipating him, said:
"Do not speak, little father, do not
speak. Thou art still too weak. / will
tell thee where thou art and everything

And the mujik related to Michaell
Strogoff the different incidents of the
struggle which he had witnessed-the,
attack upon the ferry by the Tartar
boats, the pillage of the tarantass and
the massacre of the boatmen.
But Michael Strogoff listened no Ion

garment, he felt the imperial letter still
secured in his breast
He breathed a sigh Of relief. But that

CHRISTIAN WORKERS ARE BUSY
Preparations for the Big Convention
In october Are Being Pushed
vigorously.

fCopious beads Of Precipitation stood on
the unobscured brow OF c. s. Paine last
night as he sat In that room at the Willard
which has been permanently assigned to
the promoters Of the convention in Omaha,
October 1928. Of the Disciples of Christ.
"Busy2" he exclaimed. well, now there
isn't anybody buster than WI are. This
convention work is assuming definite and
monstrous proportions very rapidly. The
state convention Of the Nebraska Christian
Missionary society meets August 5 to 10
at Bethany. just outside Of Lincoln. and we
are TO have headquarters there in q tent on
the -encampment ground, that we may dis
tribute more Of the convention literature
and get fully in touch with the live work
ers from all over the state. Monday night,
at the First Christian church Of Lincoln, we
will have a special convention rally, which
is to take the place of our regular monthly
meeting, which was TO have been at the
North Side Christian church Of Omaha next
Wednesday night. We will hAv about 100
from Omaha for special work. and we pro-
pose to make ourselves heard all over the
state at that meeting. At the ministerial
institute there this week they have Rev. J.
B, Briney of Paris, Mo. who made the speech
at Minneapolis that 80 materially helped
swing the convention to Omaha. Hes as
full Of enthusiasm in Cur behalf as ever.
About the middle Of August We will have
here Rev. 1. J. Spencer Of Lexington, KY
who was president OF the Minneapolis con-
~vention, and who will come to write descrip-
tive articles OF the three entertaining cities
and the preparation for the convention, his
articles to be furnished our church papers.
This is a service that he has performed for
some years. being always chosen for 1t be-
cause Of his entertaining newspaper style.
He has assured us that Kentucky will be
here with a great delegation for the con-
~vention.
I'm two weeks we shall begin q syste-
matte house-to-house canvass OF Omaha,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs for places
Of entertainment for convention delegates,
but let IL be understood that such entertain
ment is to be paid for. Our people at the
Louisville convention In 1898 voted to ac-
cept no more free entertainment.
I'VE are stepping beyond all precedent in
