THE srruArroN IN RUSSIA.

1t begins to look as though the reac-
tionaries were gdning the upper hand
and that violent represSiye measures
are about to/be inaugurated, in which
event there is no telling what the re-
suit will be.
Authority has been given the gov
ernors of districts and provinces topro-
claim n state of siege, or if they deem
It necessary martial law. This step has
Struck terror into the hearts Of the hls-
SLAMS, as they know what it means in
the hands of the reactionary officials.
Bloody collisions are reported to have
occurred on the streets OF Riga, during
which machine guns were used with
terrible effect,
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, while
not unduly optimistic, expresses the
opinion that the political situation and
outlook is improving.
The emperor is going to Moscow to
proclaim the constitution from the
kremlin.
The outbreak in the army in Man
churia is now attributed to failure to
pay and properly feed the troops.
Reports from the interior Of Russia
indicate that the country generally re-
mains at the boiling point, ready TO
slop over ON the slightest preteXt.
Despite the persistent efforts of the
reactionary camorilla, headed by Gen,
Count Alexis lgnatieIf, formed to ef-
feet the downfall of Count Witte, and
to create dictatorship, the emperor is
standing firmly by the premier.
The Russian imperial family has de-
cided to remain at Tsarskoe Selo for
the present.
A correspondent at Riga says he fears
that the deep hatred felt by the Lithu-
anians for the German nobility and
German capitalists will lead to an awful
calamity.
The Lithuanians have declared their
separation from the Russian empire
and have sent up an independent gov
ernment in LiVonia. Dvina fort, COM
naming Riga harbor, has been seized,
and many of the troops have joined the
insurrectionists.

and unexpected removal in her own
family. If John had written to her,
she had never received the letter. Her
own childish, misdirected epistle to
him had come back to her months aft
erward from the dead letter Office.
John had passed completely out of her
life. But put away among her most
precious treasures we're the little red
mlttens waiting to be given to him.
What had an old maid to do with
such mementoes? How Juanita would

She would get out the mlttens this

brother Bob's boy-Bob's boy who was
always losing mittens.

In pitiless plainness. "Oh, what have

An Old Maid S
Christmas
By BERTHA E. BUSH

Aunt Annabel," said Juanita, with
merry jingling Of skates accompany
Ing her speech, won't you please tie
up my Christmas packages for me?
You know where they CO."
Aunt Annabel assented with little
sigh, for her hands were already full
Of Christmas errands for the family.
Juanita did not notice the sigh. Her
laughing eyes we're filled with the
vision Of the boy whom she knew to
be waiting just around the corner,
ready to carry those skates and buckle
up the straps. But her girl companion,
less absorbed. did notice It,
81 don't believe you ought to have
asked her to do that, Nita. Every
body is so busy at Christmas"
"Oh, Aunt Annabel is always busy
But she isn't any buster at Christmas
than at any other time. What does an
old maids Christmas amount to?"
Aunt Annabe heard the careless
words and the little wrinkles on Ter
forehead deepened with pain. "An old
maids Christmas" The red mounted
slowly to her thin cheeks. 1t was not
the quick blushlng of girlhood which
is deemed so beautiful, but burning,
painful flushing that seemed to leave
her wan face more hollow and whittier
than before.
IN p11 tutt 10
hateful 1t was to be an old maid! She
had never dreamed of 1t when she was
as young as Juanita, When she was
as young as Juanita-oh much young
er-John Warren had said: "Annabel
is my little wife, and we are going to
be married next Christmas" How far
away the next Christmas had seemed
then--farther than the next century
nowl
The years slipped before her eyes
like a dream There had been other
lovers, but none so dear as this little
John of her childish years. How de-
voted they had been to each other.
and how constant through all their
boy and girl ups and downs! The eld-
ers had smiled at their frank affection
and half believed that what John said
would come to pass at some future
Christmas She and John had wholly
believed it. She remembered how they
played together, how he drew her on
bis sled, how he always chose her first
at spelling matches although she was
not a good speler, and John was one
