boiling by cab driving, died Of typhoid.
She followed HIS coffin to the snow
clad cemetery without the town and
on her return homo went to the little
stable for the horse. Once, when still
well-to-do peasants daughter, she
knew how to drive. She harnessed the
horse. put on her dead sons cap and
padded cloak and drove to the open
space near the Kremlin where drivers
walt for fares. The plucky woman
was greeted by chorus OF jeers from
the men already on the rack and the
crowd which collected piled her with
questions, satirical compliments and
snowballs. As nobody had the cour-
age to take a sledge which attracted
SO much attention Anna Petrovna re-
turned home that night without having
obtained single passenger and the
little horse got straw instead of oats
for his supper. 1t is to be feared that
its new owner got still less. But next
morning she returned to the Kremlin,
greatly to the joy of the crowd.
Her first fare was a short-sIghted
general from the provinces who did
not realize he was being driven by
woman till he reached his destination
and was proud to think his new uni
form attracted so much attention. He
was so angry when he discovered the
truth that he gave Anna PetroVna
only half the amount he had bargained
for (there are no fixed fares in Rus
STA so that you can go as far for
cent as for dollar II you possess the
necessary talent for haggling) and
told her to go home and cook her huH-
bands dinner I've got to earn It
first, excellency," was her spirited re-
tort, which SO pleased one of the spec
tators that he hired her for a long
course.
But "Senseless" Annals troubles
were not over. The cabbies at the
Kremlin swors revenge. First they
tried to make her drunk and, when
that failed, spread a report among the
lOafers that she would give bottle OF
vodka to the first man who hired her
before noon next day. When she
drove to the stand next morning she
was besleged by would-be passengers
and the four strongest, who fought
their way into her sledge, ordered her
to drive to a vodka shop at the other
end of the town, thinking it best to
get as long a drive as possible for
nothing OF course, on arriving at
their destination they demanded the
vodka. On her indignant refusal they
set about pulling the sledge to pieces
and cutting the harness. The poor
woman fought them Justify, receiving
several cuts on her face and losing
several teeth. At last the police inter
fered and the whole party was taken
to the depot. Anna PetroVna told her
story so we'll that she was discharged.
Before many hours were over all
Moscow had heard of the woman cab
by and all Moscow went to look at her
She quickly became the most popular
person in the town. New harness was
bought for her by subscription and 1t
was considered the thing" to be driv-
en- about by Anna PetroYna She has
now bought a second horse and plies
so good a trade that, were it not for
the fear of sharing the rough treat
ment she got at first, other women
would follow her example.
