INNOCENT.

Tue Story Of Russian Noblemar.
In some respects Count Tolstoi's pow
erful novel, Resurrection, is not so
dramatic or absorbing as the true sto-
ry of worn, sad-faced old man who a
few days ago stepped feebly from the
Moscow express at the Central station
here, and with the help of a young
man in his company entered the sleigh
waiting to convey him to the family
residence of the Kazimoffs. This old
man was Count Theodore Kazimoff,
who has now returned from Siberia,
whittier he was exiled fifty years ago
for the murder of his best friend, Count
Demetri Dolgorouk. His relatives and
friends believed him guilty, but now
after all these years of physical suffer-
ing and mental agony, it has been dis
covered that he was innocent, and a
pardon by the car has enabled him to
burg to die~in liberty, with every stain
removed from his character
The beginning of this remarkable
story takes us back to the year 1852
when Count Kazimoff was gay young
officer in the cavalry guards. His ia
Their was the head of one of the fore
most noble families of the Russian en-
pire, and being the eldest son, Count
Theodore was the heir to the greater
part of the vast estates and wealth
which his forefathers had accumulated.
The magnificent inheritance that await
ed him consisted of five hundred thou
sand acres of land in various parts of
Russia, thirteen palaces and castles,
besides some score of hunting lodges,
summer villas and smaller residences,
and a fortune estimated at fifteen mil
lion dollars. He was twenty-five years
old, tall, handsome and the darling of
st. Petersburg society; a beautiful girl
of high character and equally noble
birth had promised to become his wife,
and his superior officers prophesied for
him a distinguished military career.
Count Demetri Dolgorouki, his most
intimate friend, was In similarly fortu-
nate circumstances. He. too, was an
eldest son and the heir to immense
wealth and estates hardly less extern
sive than those of Count Kazimoff, on
which they bordered. Count Kazfmoff
and Count Dolgorouki had been school
boys together, had made foreign tour
together and were the best of friends
till a woman came between them. This
was Fedora Tebloff, the daughter of the
house porter at the club which both the
young officers frequented. Fedora was
at that time nineteen years old and
beautiful according to the standards of
her class. She was coquettish in the
extreme and always had bevy of ad-
mirers in her wake. Count Kazimoff
was her favorite until he introduced
Count Dolgououki to her, and the tickle
maiden transferred her affections to the
new conner. The old friendship between
the young men developed into the
fiercest hatred. Many stormy encoun-
tiers took place, and once, when Count
kazimoff found Count Dolgorouki in
Fedoras company, angry words led to
blows and a savage hand-to-hand
struggle. A duel was the inevitable
result, and this was fought on the fol-

A FAIR TEST.
See If coffee Is really the cause of all

See If coffee is really the cause of ails.
Some coffee drinkers think they can
get on without being sick by limiting
the allowance to just one cup a day,
and some people can stand this all right
but others cannot.
There are many people where the
poison of coffee is so marked and direct
that one cup per day, if followed up
steadily, will surely and certainly put
the patient in bed, or produce chronic,
fixed disease of one or more organs of
the body.
When a person suspects coffee to be
the cause Of his or her stomach, liver,
kidney, bowel, heart or eye disturbance,
lis well to test the case by leaving off
coffee for ten days and using Postum
Food Coffee in it's place. If there is an
Improvement in health the proof is alb
solute, and common sense will naturally
guide anyone who values comfort, ease,
content and ability to do things, to
make the change permanent and con-
tinue the use of Postum instead of cof-
fee, for 1t means that life is worth the
living when one can be we'll.
Now and then will be found degen-
crate who really prefers sickness of
some sort to the comfort of good health,
and such persons will continue to use
articles of food and drink that they
know do not agree with them.
In this land of liberty let every one
choose his own course, but one great,
staring, pertinent, absolute fact stands
out, that coffee does cause misery and
distress to thousands of people who do
not supect the cause, and the quitting
of coffee and taking on Postum Food
Coffee will return the average person
to health and comfort. This fact can
be proven by any coffee drinker.
Don't let the cook serve Postum
boiled. Insist that directions on
the package be followed, then Postum
is delicious, having flavor all its own,
not SO sharp as drip coffee" far better
than ordinary coffee, with much the
soft, mellow flavor of the most expen-
sive grades Of Jave.

it all, the last two items of news that
he heard from the outside world before
leaving st, Petersburg were that his
fiancee had become the betrothed of an
other man and that Fedora Tebloff had
cursed him as the murderer of her lover,
Dolgorouki. Kazinoff was henceforth
Convict No 10S." and was dispatched
into exile in company with a gang of
other unfortunates condemned to the
same fate. They were chained togeth-
er, and, as was customary in those
foot, goaded by the knouts of the Cas-
sacks sent to escort them. Their desti-
nation was Zistam, some hundred miles
north of Tomsk, and on arrival here
they were put to work in the mines.
Kazimoff was chained night and day
to four other convicts, all coarse, bru-
tai fellows, and all undergoing punish
ment for crimes of exceptional violence.
For ten hours every day the five pris-
oners had to work together in the
mines, and at night they slept together
in a miserable hut. When there was
work to be done the four plebeian GRIM
inals combined to give their aristocrat-
ic companion the biggest share of it,
and when rations were served they took
care that he received the smallest
share. When they found that he would
not participate in their coarse CONVEX
sation and their vile jokes they beat and
kicked him to knock the pride out of
him." as they put it. Kazimoff was not
always chained to the same ruff1ans
and sometimes his immediate compan-
ions were kind enough, if rough and far
too uneducated to be real company for.
him. When the ten years were over he
resembled a broken-doWn man of sew
enty, though he was only thirty-five.
Theneeforth he was allowed to inhabit
his own little hut and to do practically
what he liked so long as he did not
leave the village and reported himself
to the authorities twice a day. Rations
were served to him and he received a
small allowance of money for necessary
expenses.
Since his condemnation and departure
from st. Petersburg Kazimoff had not
received any kind message from all his
relatives anu IL16IluS anu Ills ucdIl was
bitter against them. After three years
of solitude Kazimoff obtained perrnis-
sion to marry the widow of a workman
who had been exiled for political Of
Tense, and who had died before his term
had expired. The woman belonged to
the working classes, but she was kind
and affectionate, and Kazimoff consid-
cred marriage with her preferable to
the awful solitude which he had been
enduring. On the day of the wedding
Kazimoff had a portrait Of himself and
his plebeian bride taken and this he
sent to his relatives in st. Petersburg
with reminder that the first-born
would be the heir to the Kazimoff
wealth and estates. The union, howev-
er, was childless, and Kazimoff's wife
died five years later, leaving him alone
again. For over thirty years he
dragged on solitary existence, limited
to the society of ex-criminals and de-
prived of everything that makes life
worth living. In the earlier years he
still entertained hope that his inno-
cence might be established, but as year
after year went by without bringing

Way Down East" Lottie Blair Par
ker's idyllic play of New England farm
life, comes to the Hyperion theater
next Monday evening for series of
four performances, including a We'd
nesday matinee. The play is one that
appeals to everybody with a spark of
sympathy, a liking for an interesting
story and relish for good, wholesome
fun. Tits popularity is due to its pa
thetic %therne.' Its genial hurnor, it's
charming pictures of country life, it's
quaint characters and striking realism;

ly is the strong human interest that
permeates every scene. To this all
classes and creeds must yield their
sympathy. Mrs. Parker's work, so adj
mirably produced under the skilful di-
rection of Joseph Grismer, will be in
terpreted by the same great cast as

story of railroad life as seen in and

equally balanced by the humorous fea-
lures.
