The fine snow was drifting across
the steppe before the first wind of
winter. 1t began to come very softly
and silently at daybreak, and quickly
powdered the landscape, covering up
all ugliness, making unsightly places
even beautiful; but all the same it
was cruel.
1t struck the knell of the long 81
lence: Sergius Konski, sometime stu
dent OF Warsaw, and now supposed
to be living peaceably on his fathers
lands at Erlensk on the Siberian from
tier, stood still at the gateway of one
OF his fathers fields and looked up
the long bleak vista of the road
which led away from Erlensk and
towards Poland and life. Such was
the thought in the lads heart, for
from his mothers side he was a
Pole; and every heartbeat was in
sympathy with his mothers people.
One brief year had he spent in
Warsaw; twelve short months into
which had been crowded the fierce
experience of lifetime; then sud
denly and swiftly, he and his sister.
who had been attending university
classes at the same time, had been
removed from Warsaw. They had
not dared to ask a question: they
knew too we'll the reason, though the
matter had never been mentioned in
the great house of Konski. The lines
had simply deepened in the face of
old Konski, and he had become more
taciturn than ever.
You have had your chance and
made fool of yourself, Serge. be-
sides dragging Vera into danger.
You can stay at home now and make
a fool of yourself to some purpose
That was nine months ago. The
pair We're not content-how could
they be? Can the eagle, who has
been accustomed to soar from height
to height, to contemplate the mac
cessible only as spur to further
achievement, sit down contentedly to
preen his feathers in the homely
dove-cot, however sheltered and safe?
The thing is impossible. These two
young, eager hearts. whom the love
of freedom had consecrated, who had
beheld great wrongs and burned to
redress them, were fretting their
hearts out now, and it was the begin
ming of the long silence.
Serge was expecting no one; he
was simply contemplating the road
which led to life, and wondering how
long before the cords would become
so strong that they would draw him
away from every tie that bound him
to the steppes. He had the thin,
eager face of the enthusiast, the
dreamer of dreams. He wore a loose
blouse of frieze, cut low at the throat
and revealing the strenuous muscles
there; his eyes seemed to burn, to be
full of deep thoughts. 1t was sin
gularly handsome, winning, arrest
ing face. But it was not the face OF
the man who could suffer the long
silence.
Suddenly a remote sound smote
upon his ear; and through the film
Of the flying snow he beheld in the
far vista Of the road an approaching
vehicle. He drew himself up. an
alertness seemed to spring to every
muscle; he stepped out into the mid
die of the road. He was not aware
OF any expected arrival, yet none ths
less wac he conscious Of a sudder
fiutter Of anticipation. Anything

At daybreak, when there was a lull

At daybreak, when there was a lull
in the steady storm, the carriage
stood ready in the courtyard. The
Englishman came out first, not wish
ing to intrude upon the last fare
wells.

squat-faced driver, whom he had
bound to his service by many kind
nesses. The man nodded, and bent
to tighten the girths as they came
from the house. He smiled to him
self, observing that to outward SEEM
ing there was no girl. Vera wore a
suit of her brothers, and a long coat
and small cap with flaps tied about
her ears.
She was very pale, and there was
anguish in her eyes. But hope
seemed to return to them as they fell
upon the Englishman's steadfast
face. Serge was behind, on his eager
face strange luminous uplifted look.
The old man did not come until Vera
was strapped in her place and Beau
lieu stood ready to step in.

of his life to us. I will leave him to
explain his Grand"
He disappeared in search of his sis
ter, and the old Count turned in
quiringly to his guest, whose errand
was quickly told. The old man lis
tened, leaning slightly on the veran-
da door; and but for an added grav-
ity he did rot seem disturbed.
"The times are troubled, but we
are remote here in the Castle of
Konski, and there has been no sur
veillance since the children came
from Warsaw"
Count, it was but a lull before
the storm. I tell you what will hap

warned me did not lie. | took pains
to verify his warning. And 1 am
here. Unless you give Vera to me
tomorrow, and let me take her away,
she will be taken less gently, and to
harder prison than an English
mans house"
She has no mother" said the old
man from behind the thickness of
his beard. II am afraid"
''Of what? Not of me, I hope.
am an honorable man, Count Konski,
and I am able to give my wife the
comfort she needs and should have"
A strange, shuddering sigh came
up from the depths of the old mans
heart, and he covered his eyes for
moment with his hand.
'Hark! they are coming. Vera
shall decide" said the old man.
They came from within the house,
the brother and sister together, and
the Englishman's heart leaped as he
saw the light in the girls eyes. She
was a radiant creature, with the blue
eyes and the gold hair of her Polish
mother, and such grace of figure as
no rude garments could hide"
She gave her hand to Arthur, and
he raised it to his lips.
''He has come, the Englishman, to
take you away, Vera" said the old
man, with a strange cultural note in
his voice. 1T seems you have but
the two alternatives-to go with him
or wait till they take you to the for
tress of st. Peter and st. Paul"
Her face scarcely blanched, but her
steadfast eye was fixed on the Eng
lishman's face.
IF Arthur says so, it is true, IA
Their, but it is you who will decide.
l am your only girl, and here stay"
"But-' began Arthur, until
her hand on his lips stopped him.
He pressed it passionately. The old
man surveyed them with mournful
pathos, perceiving that the child's
heart had gone into the Englishman's
keeping, and that it mattered little
how he should decide.
MAY God deal with you as you
deal with her." he said, and holding
his hands a moment towards them as
If in blessing. he passed within the

Some time ago the Charleston

instead Of jute or burlap, for the ship.

corn, meal, grits, sugar and tho like.
The movement is a good one and
should be extended. Not only is the
cotton bog neBter in appearance than
the jute bag, but it is more econopi-
cal in that it is stronger and will'iast
longer, and when empty is Of greater
value. Furthermore, cotton ia ma.

increase the demand for the South's

hemp twine with their reapers and
