LAND OF THE CAUCASUS

much tobacco is also raised, besides
tea and cotton.
The Caucasus Is a very favorable
region for livestock raising. The
native horses are held in high re.
pute all over Europe for their speed
and endurance.
In manufacturing. the Caucasus
does not amount to much. Trans
portation facilities are very made
quate.
Administratively there are three
governments and provinces in
northern Caucasia (Stavropol, Ku-
ban and Terek) and eight in Trans
caucasia (Baku, Black Sea Daghe-
stan, Yelizavetpol, Erivan, Kars,
Kutais and Tifis with Zakataly).
In 1897 the population was 9,z48.-
sos, or 81 per square mile.
The chief cities are Tifiis, the
capital, and Baku.
Nowhere else on the earth is
there such a confusion of people
languages and religions gathered in
one area as in the Caucasus. The
number of dialects is rated at 6S.
The Russians entered the region
in ITO. Kuban and Terek became
theirs in 1774, Derbent, Baku and
Kubu in 1896.
BY cessions from Persia and Tur-
key Russia had obtained by 1929
nominal control over nearly the en-
tire country.
Shamyl, chief of the free noun
tain tribes, resisted Russia with
magnificent bravery, but was forced
to surrender in 1859 and Russian
dominion was assured.
The uprising against Russian
control during the Russo-Turkish
war, 1S77-78, proved wholly futile
despite the active assistance of the
Turks.

easy.
One Saturday he got up and set
the door stealthily apart. He could
see into the shop Madge stood be-
hind the counter sewing, the coarse
brown holland of the material
gathered up over her wrists and
bosom in that womanly fashion
which is so unreasonably appealing
to the lonely masculine heart. On
the shopward side of the counter a
young man sat with his elbows on
the scratched and bruised veneer,
his chin upon his knuckles, and his
eyes turned up to Madge.
John Darlington listened, and as
he listened his Gothic blood sprang
into its old fifth century heat with
a rapidity that made him reel under

unoffending youth by the neck

voice, "Madge, couldn't you care

"You can leave one light on,
Madge," he directed in even a
colder tone than usual, and retired
into the parlor.
When Madge had made all tidy,
she followed him to receive her
weeks pay.
She found him crouched in his
big chair by the fire. with a ledger

fire into blaze, extinguished his
customary lamp, and had lighted
every burner in large chandelier,
usually lost to view in the twilight
which, summer and winter, inhab-
tied the room. He looked up when
she went in.
"Madge," he asked. edo you mind

using a conventional phrase in her
confusion and half choking with

He mistook her tone.

Madge, and set about her task.

slices of ham, and set the pan with
some of the latter on-or rather
half on-the fire, while she laid
the cloth upon a portion of the
clumsy square table. To think of
a man doing work which is properly
that of her sex Is always pitiful to
a woman, especially if the man be
a solitary one.
John harrington watched her
hungrily. She was only a bright
little shop girl, with limpid eyes,
def hands and light feet. AS she
bent over the fire pouring the hot

she remarked, with her hand on the
door.
John harrington got up, stumbled
awkwardly across to the cupboard,
took out another knife, plate, cup
and saucer and spoon, and set them
on the table.
"Madge," he said, you'll stay?"
Madge flushed with an embarrass-

She thought he was ill, and ran
fearfully across. He did not move,

raised his head, and she saw that
there were great tears upon his
cheeks and on his open palms.
Madge's eyes met his, and she
burst out crying.
"Oh, I'll stop! I'll stop" she
said, and flung herself at his feet.
And so that supper was eaten
