not a square foot of ground in Tiflis

Mystified, bafiled and enraged, Jur-
nieff raved and cursed as he paced the
prison corridor. But while he raved,
and soldiers searched, Charka and his
boat continued slowly down the river.
BY daylight Charka had made twenty
miles and tied up at the rotting wharf
of a small town. Leaving his men in
charge, he went ashore TO buy food. He
returned with a sufficient supply for the
day, and the boat went on. A little
steam launch containing soldiers came
putting UP behind him.
"Who are your" demanded the Off
Ger. "Why do you leave Tifis with a
load of hay? The markets are there"
There are no markets for me-" said
Charka, with a sad wall. "Many days

We do not wish to kill, so we leave"
Harvey stood aghast. Alone he could
not handle the sails. He shouted to
them to come back, brt they paid no
attention to him. He returned to Alma.
The fools have left us! Charka was
thrown overheard by a broken rope,
and | told them to go in the small boat
to rescue them. They took the boat,
preferrlng that In the storm to remain
ing on this boat with us. They say,
my darling. we have brought curse
upon them"
The wind howled. The boat shivered
as it was driven along at increasing
speed. The timbers surely would not
hold together long.
"My darling. What terrible expert
ence for your said Harvey, taking her
in his arms. 1t is impossible to con-
troll the boat The only thing can do
is TO try to cut away the sails"
Dear Harvey. | will help YOU"
But they had nothing save the sword
of the Inspector general of prisons with
which to work. With this they hacked
at a few ropes they could reach, but
the sails were held by ropes that had
wound themselves around the masts.
One mast broke and fell to the deck.
1t was beyond the power of both TO
move it, The speed of the boat seemed
to be none the less for the loss of that
mast. The rain now came down in
torrents. The boat rocked and rolled
and the waves swept completely over
it,

They soon had a perch in the hay,
which they kept by clinging to the
cords that bound it to keep it in place.
One of Harveys arms was around the
girl They rushed along hour after
hour, each moment fearing that the
boat would sink or turn over. Sudden
ly there was loud crash. The re-
naming mast broke and went plung-
ing into the sea. The boat lurched
frightfully, and it now seemed impos-
sible for it to live in the foaming wa
tiers much longer.

went into the little house and ate the

us pleasure. Mush and milk no longer

Dear one, they would have killed

Eyes, it is better; but since the old
hulk and its load of hay have survived
the worst Of the storm, we may yet
run across boat that will pick us up
Let us hope So"
They spoke little as they huddled to-
gether on the hay. Each was strain
ing to hear the faintest sound that
might come from over the water.
"Harkr' said Harvey. Dearest, did
you not hear something's"
Il fancied-I hoped heard a shout.
Can it be that Russian boats are out
after us so soon, and in that storm ?"
"The Russians would not be shout
ing. l fancy it is some one in distress.
Perhaps the Turks in that cayik are
shouting for help"
With clasped hands they waited
through the dark hours of the early
morning. Dawn began streaking the
east. Harvey strained his eyes to
pierce the scarcely perceptible light.
Not more than 200 feet from them was
long, low hull that seemed at rest.
The hum of voices could be heard as
the wind and rolling current carried
them nearer
1--WE are savedT cried Alma, and
she wept on his breast.
"Ho, therew shouted Harvey at the
top of his voice. whoever you are,
help us"
"What is the voice that speaks out
of the darkness?" came a shout. "In
the name of Allah tell usI'
Then above the other voice there rose
cries of "Allahl Allah, III Allah! Mob
ma Mohammed Resoul Ullahr'
'Mohammedans, and most likely
Turks" said Harvey. "Yet that does
not sound like a Turkish voice But
any port in a storm"
AS the dawn increased and the old
hay barge fioated nearer the other
boat Harvey could distinguish dark
forms lined up along the deck rail. He
seemed to recognize that long, low,
black hull. A rope was thrown to him,
and he caught it after several at
tempts. Those on board the vessel
drew the hayboat toward 1t.
"Who are your" came a voice in
jargon that Harvey happily under
stood.
1--WE are castaways on wreck" he
answered, trying to produce combi-
nation of tongues that these men could
understand. He had been long enough

The Course of Business.

The Course of Business.
1t is patent to everybody that
during the past eighteen months
business conditions N Bemidji
have been undergoing somewhat
of change. Business condi-
tions during that period have not
been what they were before it's
beginning. This may be parti-
ally accounted for because of
the fact that the entire country
has been convulsed with politics
during that time, but the change
is far more profound one. It
involves the character of the
business which is being done in
this city and to a great extent in
the county and throughout
northern Minnesota.
There is more business in Be-
midi today than ever before, but
it is not the kind of business that
flowed through the town two
years ago. The saloons are not
doing so we'll today as they did
two years ago, but the mercantile
houses are doing much better.
It is a fact that every merchant
who has established himself in
Bemidji and who is vigorously
pushing his business is doing
more today than ever before and
that every month of the past
twelve have been with him better
than the preceding twelve
months.
Competition is more keen in
Bemidji than it was two years
ago. There is more business to
be had but it does not come at
every beck and call; it must be
worked for persistently. It is
the business of the farmer and
the permanent resident and not
so much of the transient. It is
the business that comes to every
town when it becomes firmly
fixed.
Business is more stable in Be.
midi today than it was two
years ago.
