BRAVE vERESTcHAGIN.
A Lover of Danger, a Dare Devil, a
Patriot and a Fighter.

Vasili Verestchagin, the Russian ar
tist who went down with the Ill fated
Petropavlovsk, did not believe that the
fear of torpedoes was the beginning
Of wisdom. He was never afraid OF
them: on the contrary, he was we'll ac-
quainted with them, for he was a skill
full torpedoist. In the Russo-Turkish
war he was very near to losing his life
by his temerity. He was often out In
a small boat after dark on the Danube,
when the smallest ripple might have
caught the watchful eyes Of the Turk
ish sentinels. One night he obtained
permission to join the crew OF the
Shutka, ordered to torpedo a Turkish
ship. The dawn revealed their position
to the enemy. A hail storm Of bullets
fell around them from the shore. Here
is the account which the artist himself
gave of the incident:
"Skrydloff gave orders to have every
thing ready. He took his position near
the forward torpedo and put me In
charge Of the floating torpedo aft. We
all put on cork jackets, in case the
Shutka should be blown up, or In case
we should fall into the water, which
would be the most benign consequence
Of the explosion. We ate a morsel OF
chicken and drank a little sherry.
Then my friend Skrydloff stretched
himself out to take a nap, and by heaV-
en- his nerves allowed him to sleep!
1 could not sleep. I scanned the water
on the Rustschuk side. Here she
comes!' said a sailor in a low voice.
And it was true. Between the shore
and the great trees of the little island
which hid the narrow passage. Of the
Danube the smoke Of the vessel ap-
peared, moving rapidly toward u.s.
When she came in sight she seemed
to be Of colossal dimensions compared
to the Shutka. Skrydloff steered d.
rectly for her, and we advanced with

Frank, who has yacht, plenty OF mon
ey and nothing to do but amuse NM
self. In an evenings outing WIN
Frank, Albert fritters away S20. AT
the same time Alice is walking four
miles a day to teach school and sup
porting herself and Aunt Susan. Frye
increases Albert's pay from $75 to Sllo
month as bribe to spy upon the
Nasons. Albert tells Frank OF MS
debts, Alice's struggles and his dislike
of expensive follies. Frank conresses
his disgust with an idle life and induces

year to attend to Nason's aftairs. ne
takes FRANK 10 his Nlla6S hoihS
Christmas, with the inevitable result
that his friend Is smitten with Alice.
Frank is delighted with the country
holiday Of sleighrides and skating.
Alice keeps him at distance and tells
her brother that his chum ought 10
work for living. A notice appears In

bert gets lost and the yacht sails with
out him. He falls in with Uncle Ter
ry, meets Telly, Of course. and learns

H6@s1 cult Of his lobster traps in the
(sSsS Gypsy's boat, with Telly as
companion, and watched the old man
hauling and rebaiting those elongated
coops and taking out his prizes. The
day was perfect one, the sea just ruff
fled by q light breeze, and as her first
timidity had now worn away, he found
Telly a most charming companion. 1t
was an entirely new experience to him,
and the four hours pull in and out Of
the island coves and around isolated
lodges where Uncle Terry set his traps
passed all too quickly.
do you know" said Albert when
they had returned to the little cove
where Uncle Terry kept his boats and
as he sat watching him pick up his
mornings catch and toss them one by
one into large car, that the first man
who thought Of eating lobster must
have been almost starved? OF all cred
lures that grow in the sea there is
none more hideous, and only hungry
savage could have thought them fit for
food"
They amt overhansum," replied
Uncle Terry, "but fried in pork fat
they 60 middin' good If ye're hungry"
That afternoon Telly invited Albert
to row her up to cove, at the head Of
which was narrow valley where
blueberries grew in profusion. II want

could not restrain his desire to enjoy
the society of this unaffected, simple
and beautiful girl little longer. The
moon that Frank had planned to use
was high overhead, and away out over
the still ocean stretched broadening
path Of silvery sheen, while at their
feet, where the ground swells were
breaking upon the rocks, every splash
Of foam looked like snow white wool.
IF it's not asking too much, Miss
Terry" said Albert with utmost polite
ness, won't you walk out to the top
Of the cliff and sit down few mo-
ments while enjoy cigar? The
night is too beautiful to turn away
from at once"
Telly assented, and they took posses
sion of the rustic seat where Albert
had listened to her history the night
before. What a food of emotions came
to him as he watched his fair COM
panion, all unconscious of his scrutiny.
and with them a sudden and keen in
terest to unravel the mystery Of her
parentage and the hope that some time
he might do 1t. He also felt an unac-
countable desire to tell her that he
knew her pathetic story and to express
bis interest in it and his sympathy for
her, but dared not ut may hurt her
to know I know It," he thought, "and
! will wait till she knows me better"
Instead. he began telling her about
himself and his own early life, his
home, his loss Of parents, bis struggle
to earn a living and how much success
he had so far met.
When his recital and cigar were both
at an end and 1t was time to 60 in he
said, II may not have another chance
to ask you. Miss Terry, before I leave
here, but when get back to Boston
may I write to you, and will you an.
swer my letters II do?
The question startled her little. but
she answered.:
II shall be pleased to hear from you,
Mr.. Page, and will do the best can In
replying, only do not expect too much"
When he had hidden her good night
and was alone In his room the memory
of Mrs. Leach and her pitiful prayer,
coupled with Telly's pleading eyes and
sweet face, banished all thoughts Of
sleep, and he watched the moonlit
ocean while he smoked and meditated.
