A RuNGLING THEFT.

In thinking about such breaches of
morality as the Equitable upheaval has
revealed so fiagIantly says Collier 8 for
August 8, we should try to realize the
little humsn units all over the woIld
whose closest welfare lies at the basis
of trustees obligation. One OF ouI
subscribers writes to US the following:

BILE. - Thousands OF such troubled
men, with wives and children, are
watching the Equitable complications
with terror too easily forgotten by
prospecting officials. Judge Foster in
sentencing a young Equitable clerk
whose thefts had been direct, made a
fundamental distinction. "You stole
from the Equitable. said his Honor,
hut your methods were very crude
and bungllng. II YOU had, instead
of collision with an outsider,
colluded with the insiders, and there
by had your salary raised 10 $50. 900,
and then divided with the other men,
the result would not have been a bit
more Objectionable, from moral and
ethical standpoint, and would have
been no more hu1tful TO the policy
holders, but possibly you would not
have been at the bar of justice. :

Benton county has ordered Sena-
torial primary to be held on Septem-
Der 90. If the other counties of the
State follow Benton's lead, that vir-
tually closes the entries to the Sena-
torial race. sixteen months before the
election. Is that just to the Democracy
of the State? Is that fair to other
deserving sons of Tennessee who may
aspire to the highest Office in-..the gift
of the people? And why this haste?
Does Governor Taylor fear to meet his
opponent face to face and let the people
hear them In joint DEBATE? Is this al

preparing to hedge against campaign
before the people? What are his friends
afraid of that they are proceeding
with such unseemly haste?

And a pocket pistol?" asked Cobb
The courier looked puzzled.
Cobb laughed and in an instant the
courier smiled also. You will find
supplies in the sleigh" he said. At
the same moment the sleigh came up
noiselessly, the driver walking by the
side of the spirited horses, and keep
ing his hand on the bells to prevent
any sound.
Cobb sprang into the sleigh.
The courier lifted robe and drew
forth two bottles of brandy Both of
the men took long pull.
"All ready?" asked the courier.
Ready" said Cobb.
The driver slipped away from the
head of the impatient, fiery horses

said, 'and even now he is plotting
against us. Cobb gone - where?
What does it mean? Heavens!" she
exclaimed as the thought occurred to
her. Can he have sent Cobb to Stra-
lensk with the pardon of Ida BarO-
sky?"
Father and son looked at each other
then at Katherine.
Il have formed my plan" she said,
but | must think of my instrument"
Even as she spoke the door of the
room leading to the chamber occupied
by the baroness opened.
Katherine, Karsicheff and Nicholas
turned quickly.
A woman appeared, hesitated a mo-
ment, and was about to retire again,
when Katherine in her softest voice
said: Pray come in"
The stranger hesitated moment,
and then entered.
You have quite recovered" asked
Katherine with apparent solicitude.
There was no answer.
Perhaps the question had not been
understood.
Katherine repeated it.

nounced English accent. the stranger
she was apparently young-said
that she did not speak Russian fluent
ly and at times had some difficulty
in understanding the language.
You are with the wife of Gen.
Cobb?" asked Katherine.
The stranger must have misunder-
stood the question, for she evidently
thought that her passport had been
asked for, as she handed that i'm
portant document to Katherine.
The latter glanced at the document,
Karsicheff and Nicholas gazing over
her shoulder as she did SO.
Caroline Cobb" exclaimed the
countess-"a relative?"
With some difficulty Caroline Cobb
explained that she was poor rela.

Wont you be seated?" said the
countess, you must be tired"
Caroline sat down.
"A glass of vodka?" suggested Mich
olas.
Caroline shook her head
"A cup of tea is better" said Kath-
crime, drawing the beverage from a
steaming samovar that stood on
table near. As she handed the tea to
the girl, she made signal to Karsi-.
chef and Nicholas to leave them
alone.
Il will go and see that the prison

Come. Nicholas!" and both men left
the room.
Katherine and the companion of
Cobb and his wife were alone.
