He drew hyperderm mic syringe from
his pocket and filled it with a fluid .
Then he injected it into Seadog's arm.
Several minutes of silence followed.
Ringwold kept his seat on the side of
the bed. He finally broke the silence.
"Bring the lamp" he said.
While young Seadog held the lamp
and the wife looked on with anxiety,
Rinwgold shook the sick man. He
pushed back the eyelids and exposed
the pupils which were greatly enlarged.
"He died in Siberia and his brother
went down at seal" muttered Seadog.
Another smile lit up the countenance
OF Ringwold. He placed mis- hand over
the heart of Seadog again. He played
with the man as would cat play with
mouse. But the feeble little fellow
looked more like the mouse and the
PROSTATE form of the wealthy fisher
man resembled that of giant, in COM
parison.

Mrs. Seadog turned pale. Young Sea-
dog was mysti6ed.
Ringwold slowly bent his body until
he could place his mouth near Seadog' 8
ear. He spoke In an ordinary tone of
voice:
"Charlie, you neglected to sweep out
this morningl"
Seadog opened his eyes as if by mag
ic. He gazed into the face of Ring
void for moment and then exclaimed {:
'Nelse Saarela, druggist to the
czarl'
eyes, and back from Siberia and on
to America that he might compel
Charles Seadog to render an account
ing!" fairly Kissed the old man.
The meeting was too much for the
strength of either. Seadog fell into a
silent relapse and old Ringwold drop
ped across his body in hysterical fit.
1t was then that young Seadog called
to neighbor and sent him to the ball
room for aid.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Fina, Accounting.


With the dawning of morning there
were many rumors ahoat in the village.
The story of Seadog's relapse, the send
ing for old Ringwold, and the dying
condition of the two men had reached
the public ea1. Stories of mysterious
disclosures we've also being told and
the people were wrought up to unusual
excitement.
1t was known that Captain Budlong
had remained at the place all night;
that Sankala was there and that the
militia surgeon had been kept busy and
that about daylight old Bumbo, the
lawyer, had been sent for.
Sankala and Dan Lapham had also
been seen to visit the Ringwold cabin,
and they had taken a large bundle of
papers to the Seadog home.
The interior of the Seadog house pre-
sented an inter esting picture. On a
bed lay old Seadog calm and weak.
He was breathing easily and his physi-
cal suffering had been lulled by heroic
scientific treatment. But the agony
which racked his brain is indeecribable.
1t is only those who have suffered with
a guilty conscience while looking death
in the face that could properly sympa-
thize with Charles Seadog.
On another bed in the same room lay
the aged Rinwgold. He had under
gone a complete change. The feeble
old form which had for SO many years
responded to the appeals of life and
raised itself up as though coming from
the grave, had reclined to rise no n ore
His work was over. His mission was
about performed. Yet his brain was
as clear as bell; His eyes as bright
as youth.
Seadog's family lowered about him.
The surgeon stood at his bedside.
Bumbo, the lawyer, sat at table near
by.
Sankala held her aged protectors
hand. Dan Lapham stood at the foot
of Ringwold's bed. Captain Budlonp
was at the door to answer the questions
of the curious.

THOSE ATHLETIC WOMEN.
Muscular Members of the Sex In New
York to Be Well Provided For.


York to Be Well Provided For.
Strenuous indeed is the modern
woman. She has added about foot
to her height, if the illustrators are to
be trusted; she goes in" for outdoor
exercise in large quantities, wears
mans shoes and has her own mans
outfit, without having to borrow her
brothers collars and ties. He does
not borrow hers because they are too
big for him. She must have room to
exercise In, when she cannot tramp
the roads and the golf links, or row
or paddle or ride or shoot; and so she,
with some friends, has started wom-
ans athletic club.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
the club was started. Very soon it
will be incorporated as the York Club,
and in no long time it will own club
house. 1t has already bought site
for its house-not on any side street,
mind you, but on Madison avenue;
and it is going to erect a six-story
building. with gymnasium, running
track, bowling alleys, squash courts,
baths, all of the latest and best styles.
Every mans club in the city, with
one exception, has had to grow from
small beginnings; but the York Club,
like Adam-though it will be an Adam
less Eden--is to be full grown at the
start. Possibly Minerva, the result of
the first recorded mind-cure on Jupi-
ter's next morning headache, would be
filter subject of comparison than
Ewes husband. But let that go; at all
events, the woman's athletic club is to
be grown up when it is born. and will
have the best social sponsors at its
baptism.
How long it will last is another ques-
ton. There is little doubt that 1t will
help a small section of New York's
women-its membership is to be linn
but most of those now interested will
not need its facilities, and will cease
| to make use of them after the first
| flush of excitement has worn off. Still,
let them enjoy the club as long as they
| choose; 1t will do them no harm, and
| they and their husbands and fathers
are able to put up for what pleases
| them. In fact, we think that great
deal more than dumb bells and weights
will be put up in the new clubhouse.
And when sloping shoulders and slen-
der waists come back the house can

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.

He Is Brave, Uncom planning, obedient
and Sympathetic. 60
Writing of the Russian soldiers,
Frank D. Millett, former war CORE
spondent Of the London Times. says:
1 have marched with them in the heat
and dust of the waterless region of the
Dobrudscha; have wallowed with them
in the mud for weeks during the disas-
trous campaign on the LON; have suf-
fered with them in the depressing days
after the Plevna defeats; have slept
with them in the trenches during the
dull siege of that stronghold; have
waded through the snow and bivouack-
ed with them through the long winter
campaign; and finally have rejoiced
with them when the treaty of peace
was signed at San Stefano-and
know what rare and unsupported quail
tiles these simple peasants develop
when the exigencies of active service
demand of them that they should be
men.
The first popular reproach against
the Russian is that he is cruel and i'm
placable- as an enemy. The catch
phrase, Scratch a Russian and you
will find a Tartar" while true in q
certain way, is by no means descrip-
tive of his nature. He is perhaps some
what Indifferent to what we should
call suffering; but he is as Indifferent
to his own woes as he is to those OF
/ others.
What we should call hardships are
to him familiar and not trying expert
ences. His notable lack of Imagination
keeps him from ready sympathy; but
hia heart Is as tender as a child's. and

In his ordinary capacity as a soldier
he is In as little danger of committing
atrocities as any man in the world.
In the entire Turko-Russian cam
paign not single case of unwarranted
bloodshed came to my notice, except
in the instances where the Circassian
Cossacks became blood-mad in certain
raids and slaughtered right and left,
as indeed even our own soldiers have
done. Far from treating the wounded
Turks with Indifference and cruelty
the Russian soldiers, even while they
remembered the fact that the Ottoman
generally killed every wounded Mus
covite he found on the field, more often
than otherwise paid friendly attention
to them, and among the officers this
generosity sometimes went so far that
they took better care of the enemy's
wounded than they did Of their own.
Trusting their officers implicitly.
command from them means to the sol
diers that they obey without question.
They are as stubborn as they are pa
tent. and never imagine that anything
is impossible Asked If they think that
they can take a position, they always
answer: 1--WE don't know, but we can
try" and under the most harassing
conditions they always maintain that
steadiness which has been their prom
inent characteristics as soldiers for ten
centuries.
This is why they have never had
serious panic in the army. Napoleon
gave testimony to their stubbornness
and their steady behavior. The Turks
found in them the same qualities that
the French did two generations before.
and 1t is reasonable to believe that
these great factors of effectiveness will
he, if anything, more valuable now
than ever.
