Notice to Subscribers

We had made all arrangements
necessary to have the first copy
of the Illinois Issue come out
January 18th, so there might be
no break in the transfer from the
American Issue. But we did not
receive the mailing list from Ohio
in time to do so. We hope to be
forgiven for what we could not
help.
Jas. X. Shields, Superintendent.

ing when it was no more. How the echoes accom-
panied hin For Stepan could sing like some
woodland god. In thought he drifted away to
student days and the worship of olden things.
He was swayed by mystic creeds. So enrapt
was he with his song that he looked for nymphs to
come forth from their forest couches; he felt that
in certain thcket must be piping Pan.
"You are not strong, Little Stepan," gravely
commented the gruff Ivan, "but you can sing like
a giant 1 believe-yes, Eehkma! but l believe
a wolf would listen"
And now they had reached the village. The
horses were running freely, the bells ringing.
Stepan motioned for Ivan to stop at the long
low place in which was held the school.
Ivan stared at him blankly. Il thought the
book for Father Metz" he said.
Il will stop at the school," insisted Stepan.
The mouth of Ivan too full for speech. His
lips formed a circle from which nvoluntarily
issued sound "Oh!" He watched Stepan
get down from the sled and approach the door.
lust as Stepan reached it, came out hurredly.
1t was Mitritch.
What? Are you attending SCHOOL," asked
Stepan.
Il have had little business to talk over with
with Father Metz IL thought he might be in
the school, yes
So have little business with the father"
You will not find him there" quickly assured
Mitritch.
Better try at Matrenskas. He may be getting
something to eat suggested the elder, eager to
be away and feeling uncomfortable.
"Is the teacher within?" asked Stepan.

words 1t was really his woman of the golden
hair, she who had once lived in the province across
his street.
Stepan gave his shoulders a little backward
fling They had rounded somewhat in the careless
monotony of the forest land In that one moment
the accumulated coarseness of the villager dropped
away, and with little feeling of shame at his
relapse he bowed to her. With all the grace of a
well-posed man he stepped forward, confident,
steady, his excuse of a book in hand.
May leave this with you for Father Metz l
often lend the old man books. When he comes to
the children, will you not give it to him.?
He looked steadily into her eyes. They were
beautiful, changing and shading with all the mystery
of woman's eyes, She the one to hesitate.
Yes, l will take it for him Have-have l not
seen you before somewhere-so 1t
the question of who is lonely and who
reaches out with the hope of finding friend
Stepan answered slowly: "Once in city l saw
a go1den-haired She used to pass in the
street. We did not speak, but think we knew
each other, we two. [ shall never forget the city,
nor that woman 1t was long, long time ago,

She smiled. Her face was one of perfect sweet
ness. And she held out her little hand to him
prettily. 81 remember 1t is good to know
here. l thought it would be always lonely.
Friends everywhere though, in cities
Won't you come in often, so may talk together

Stepan's face grew almost handsome in its pale
intense eagerness. Eyes, yes" he said gladly.

a thought pleased him. He said soemnly: Nit
ritch is the very man for her. little father. But
what about Katya? Would she not word have
to say?"
Peter shrugged his shoulders impatiently. Il
merely said it to say something" he went on
hastily Il had no idea. Of course not Mitritch,
mol But he is indeed fine fellow. And he is to
marry Katya, yes, suppose"
The face of Stepan during this short but pregnant
conversation was a study. He looked from one
to the other quickly, his eyes lighting and dulng,
expectancy and disappointment flooding them as
the ebb and flow of tide. Mitritch was fine big
fellow strong and full-musced, TALL his hair curling,
his eyes good, his whole figure speaking of the
strength which women love. Little Stepan
wondered.
But Mitritch was to marry Katya Everyone
said it. as they will in villages. 1t well under
stood And Mitritch would probably follow the
wel-worn pathway of gossip, noting obedently
the sign-posts of tatte, and would eventually
arrive at marrying their choice for him. some day,
when it was no longer bearable. So Stepan thought
with the others until Ivan sowed the seed of doubt
in his mind Something, strange feeling of un-
rest, caused him to give to the idea more than its
passing due Ali his longing of the night
stealing back unawares.
See here, Ivan the Tall 4" he broke out sud-

mantle of snow-that is all; per-
haps a sled, some bells, a rude
kindly voice or two, all burdened
by the vast melancholy canopy of
the sky, drifting; nothing more.
Yes, by all means, little teacher,
let us be friends"
When he had gone, the teachers
delicate face put aside momentarily
its cloud of apprehensive doubt.
They are not all satyrs," she
whispered.
From that day, Little" Stepan
spent much time in the school
room. The children liked him.
Sometimes he sang with them,
sometimes he sang to them. His
clear powerful voice. was charming
in their simple melodies. And then
he would remember wine-songs
and the wild chants of marching
students Revolution flung its
scarf of red across some of the
airs, phantom torches marked the
time
Then would the teacher stop and
listen. for only she knew these
things The great city would come
nearer, despite the desolate thirty
miles of sled-ride and the dragging
train. She could see the streets
and the churches and the grim
towers, all red in the winter sun.
Stepan knew she would listen; he
knew she would be sad; and by
songs these two drew nearer, bridg
ing the depths. In all the cadences
spoke his loves yearning. There
dwells sadness in the Russian song
akin to that plaintive desire which
is love itself. And Little" Stepan
began to carry himself with the
dignity of a King who, having
suffered cruel dethronement, has
come into his own again.
The test of this assurance pre-
sented itself unpleasantly.

about this little point as man who fills his

of small talk. He leaned toward
Stepan and spoke with an air of
confidence.
You know how l mentioned
Barkoff, eh? Well, he is not the
only one" And Ivan laughed in a
way that invited questions.
The heart of Little" Stepan
beat high. Something had told him
of new joys and old trembling
hopes. Could she be his woman of
the golden hair? And now some
one else loved her! Barkoff might
be joke, but all men are not jokes.
Tell me who it is, IVAN" he
said quickly.
"OeH Oeil" grinned the other
humming.
Tell me, Ivan, and don't play
the fool"
Eth! EchkDtal but l was only

But he cannot help loving her.
No man could help loving her-no
man, Stepan, except you, who are
too sick, and |, who am too much

only we are not fine and big, such
as he is-Mitritch. +"
so it is Mitritch?" cried out
Stepan.
Ivan nodded his confirmation;
Mitritch!"
They sat for the next few min
utes without speaking. The heart
of Stepan was heavy. He loved
this brother. He felt, as did the
other, that to be god was to be
strong.
"Katya will be unhappy" said
Stepan.
1t is the way of men," answered
Ivan shortly.
At this moment they entered a
piece of forest, silent wood, dense
and shadowy, seeming as mysteri-

did not surprise Little" Stepan when he said

THE THIN BLUE LINE.

Proudest of all who may be called
Americans are the surviving members
of the Grand Array. Their heads may
be bent, their bodies twisted and weak
ened by age, but their hearts are erect
Their ears may not hear clearly the
plaudits of the throng that lines the
way, but the distant call of the bugle
Is as thrilling to them as in that long
ago yesterday.
And we enter into their enthusiasm.
In our young strength we aid their
faltering steps. In the bright sun
light of profound peace, of firmly
knit nation, of a spirit of unity that
dine can do nothing but strengthen,
we give our cheers for the thin blue
line and our tears for the comrades
who drop by the wayside, their floral
tribute intended for others serving rs
last tribute to themselves.
