stood on the floor.
II am your masterw cried the black
smith, and the words were as if roared
by lion.
With leap he landed between the
two. Jansky's pistol and Unsgethop's
knife were drawn. Vladimir's right
hand closed on Unsgethop's neck. His
left shot toward Jansky, and the super
intendent of police was powerless in
that terrible grasp.
"Now pray to heaven" cried Vladi-
mir, ''for this hour is to be your last!
In this house you killed that poor old
woman who had loved me. Here you
have come to kill the American and
Papa Paulpoff. Die like the dogs of
murder that you are! For your crimes
take this! And this!''
With his muscles of iron he brought
their heads together with a crash.
"And thisv' repeated Vladimir, swing
ing them apart and then together
again.
Flinging Jansky from him with a
curse, he stopped quickly, seized Uns-
gethop by the legs and swung him in
the air. He brought his head against
the rude wooden wall, and the blood

The Work of Life Savers.

There is one class of public servants
about whose work we hear compare
lively little and who, as rule, do not
get the full measure of credit for their
heroic services. These are the life say
ers stationed at various points of peril
along our ocean and lake coasts. In
the annual report just made to the
treasury department an unusually good
showing is made. Notwithstanding
that the number of disasters within the
scope of the service was greater than
ever before, with the exceptions of 1901
and 1898, the property loss was COM
paratively light, and few persons lost
their lives.
The number Of vessels totally lost
was fifty-one. Fifty-four vessels of
more than 1000 tons, thirty three of
them being steamers, met with acct
dents or disasters: To documented YES
sells the number of accidents was 1856
and to undocumented craft 361. On the
former class there were 1928 persons,
Of whom nineteen were lost, and the
latter carried 796 persons, six of whom
persisted.
The total value of property involved
in these accidents was $14,393, O1O. OF
this amount only $2,267,79o was lost.
Thus it is seen that the life saving
service aided in the saving of more
than $12,o00,0o0 in property and that
out Of 1924 persons whose lives were
endangered only twenty-five persisted.
When it is considered that the net
cost of the service for the year. was
only $1,654,392, it must be conceded
that this department of public work
represents particularly good invest
ment of the peoples money. These
brave men, who risk their lives to save
the lives and property Of others, de-
serve well Of their country.

Vladimir was, so told him the story.
He said that Vladimir could not be any
