Con cato me distraie tanto.
cue perdi una pzrie del sermon.
Duranie q Ave Maria, los cata-
rrosos arreciason las toses y
bombardeo, como disponiendose
q una trcgua. FL padre preoi-
cador tambien Sc esoombro de 10
Undo por identica razon. y en-
palm6 el discurso.
No voy a repetirlo. nj entra
en- mi proposito nj siquiera ex-
tractarlo. Solo dire que verso
sobre las excelencias del ayuno
Y 10 provechoso de la abstipen-
cia.
FL padre era asaz grueso Y TO-
busto. capaZ de loZanear. Asi,
que maldecia con tai impetu de
las pasiones carnales. que nadie
dudaba de su imparcialidad Y
buena fe. Es necesario castigar
la naturaleza bravia. la carne re-
belde, el ardor internal de la
sangre Anita y concupiscente.
Y bajando la cabeza y abrien-
do los brazos hacia el ruedo de
viejas exhaustas y pobrisimas.
decia el excelente varon:
"-iAbandonad el regalo y la
molicie y toda hartura de los
sentidos, que os llevan al in
ferno; castigad la carne. con-
tradecld los apetitos. ahogad
vuestras pasiones en- el Jordan
del sacrifcio y de la peniten-
c;al. Quereis salvaros y no
quereis dejar los ricos manjares,
| los gustos tentadores, los delei-
tes y vanidades, pasando la vi
da en- goces y soberbias de la
carne. mi aun en- el tempo del
Senor dejareis esas cosas"
vi que aquella pobre gente
de barrio estaba consternada
ante acusacion tan directa y
atroz. Las viejas gimoteaban
como sintiendo mucho no tener
carne que castigar. nj apetitos
que contradecir, nj suculentos
manjares que aborrecer -. Con
cuanto gusto harlan elias estos
sacrifcios!
Y, en- tanto, subia hacia el
predicador ell olor de la vigilia
casera, de las espinacas, del ba-
calao con ajos. de las Judas en-
aceite, como una oleada de man
sedumbre que pide indulgencia.
-"Estos son. padre cura, los
capones, los embutidos, las tru-
fas que comemos en- este barrio.
De apetitos y pssiones, andamos
asi, asi. -. Y 10 que pedimos a
Dios es que no SUDAN mucho,
que no SUDAN tanto iay!, que Sc
nos escapen."
El predicador no hacia case
de olores nj de disculpas. De-
coro ell tema oratorio con todos
los prlmOreS que hubO a mano, y
siguio recomendando a las mi
serrimas viejas la castidad, la
templanza y Ell sacrifcio.
Sail de ALI pensando en- esas
excelencias de la modification,
en- cuanto atafle a los ramos
contributivos de conner, beber
! y arder. Y sentf una pena muy
honda al pensar en- que seria
sermon perdido para unos GUAM
tos millones de espanoles.
lGran dec1ame-pero
vayale usted con ESQ del ayuno
~ la abstinencia a todos esos in
felices que Sc consumer de ham
bre, a eses que ahullan pidiendo
pan Y trabajo!
iPan y trabajol lHabrase Wis
to? Aqui caerian muy en- su pun
to los apostrofes de los energicos
| y lozanos predicadores.
De algo creo yo que habrian
de servir.

CHAPTER IV.-Contlnued.

Once more Ivan carelessly turned
the leaves, and then without looking
up asked, in a matter-of-fact way:
"You desire to sell the book-what is
the price?"
81 preferred to leave that to the
Judgment of one who Is better BILE
to form an opinion of its value than
1 am myself"
Ivan bowed.
you will pardon me If I say that
the book Is not of sufficient value to
find a place. as a rare volume, among
the Baroness Won Rhineberg's collec-
ton; but since you desire to dispose
of it, and under the circumstances, |
may say that the value Of this volume
in st. Petersburg is twelve roubles."
Radaloff arose.
81 shall not trouble you further. MY
impression was that it is worth three
or four times as much, or I should not
have troubled the baroness to exam
inc it."
Il hope you do not think I under
value it," said Ivan.
Radaloff shrugged his shoulders
slightly. my compliments to Ma
dame the Baroness" he said, with a
movement toward the door from the
library into the great hall, land please
say that Professor Kasovitch regrets
that he should have trespassed on
her kindness with a book from the
learned Professor Muller worth only
twelve roubles.
Ivan rang the bell.
a servant appeared.
81 shall convey your words to the
baroness. Meanwhile, in case you
still doubt my judgment as to it's
value, if you will turn to the page next
the last you will find the price in the
publishers figures in Russian charac-
tiers, and judging by the freshness Of
the marks, written only a short time
ago! Good afternoon. Batof, show
the gentleman out"

I have heard that the proclamation

Karsichef sank into a chair. His
head fen upon his hands as he bent
over. the figure of a broken man.
Nicholas Karsicheff, cold. %bloodless,
heartless, even when his own family
was concerned, felt a touch of pity
for his father. Placing his hand on
the shoulder Of the general, he said,
In a voice with a strain Of
SIS It as bad as this?"
There was no answer.
And now Nicholas Karsicheff began
to realize that even more than his
fathers position was at stake. The
peril to his own future; the blow to
his mothers pride; the danger to his
sisters happiness; all these flashed
through his brain. What could be
done? Something must be done to
avert the threatening lightning bolt
which might strike at any moment.
"His mother"
That was it! Her influence, her
favor at court, the power Of her fam.
