LOVE DRIVES RUSSIAN CAPTAIN
TO EXECUTION OF GOOD PLAN.
The True Life Romance Of a Convent
beautiful Prisoner in the
cloister Weds Her Daring
Reseuer.

When Pastukhin, captain in a Rus.
sian cavalry regiment, heard that Irma
Mazlenikoh had been placed in the
Convent OF the Passion at Simbirski.
he vowed to effect her release. That
he, her lover, should be debarred from
entering the convent drove the captain
nearly to distraction. However, he
found consolation in the thought that
irma was ever thinking of him, and
knew that sooner or later he would
devise plan for her escape.
One morning a buzz of excitement
ran through the convent. From nun
and student It was whispered that the
good sister superior had received an
important letter from the holy synod
at St Petersburg. On the morrow. 1t
announced. Father Solovieff would be
pleased TO pay the convent an Official
visit of inspection.
Many eyes peered at the good father
as he drove up in a carriage drawn
by three splendid horses But If the
good father was pompous in coming,
he was charming in manner, and de.
lighted the heart OF the sister superior
by his praise of the order and disci-
pline that marked her regime.
In the afternoon Father Solovief
announced that he must examine all of
the students OF the convent. so that
he should be able to carry a thorough
report OF the convent to- St. Peters
burg. both as to its conduct, condi-
ton, and learning. Naturally such an
unlooked-for request created a hutter
of excitement among the students.
But every one agreed, from the
humblest nun to the sister superior
herself, that there could not pos
sihly be a nicer priest in the world
han Father Solovieff; and besides.
there was no reason to fear that he
would find the students lacking in
learning.
So one by one the students entered
the examination room and there were
examined in their studies by the good
father. And one by one each emerged
full of praise that he had bestowed
on them. He was the most charm
ing father who had ever inspected the.
After the examination
a sther Solcvieff made his report to the
sister superior. The teaching in the
convent he declared was excellent. All
the students had done well. But there
was one who had far and away ex-

the vocation of his ancestors, and
was admitted to the priesthood when

brethren in the eastern cities. oficiat-

Then came call for those who would
go into the wilderness. What was
most needed was leader who should
not only have wisdom and judgment,
but who should be courageous, deter
mined. and above all willing to endure
hardship and suffering, and have zeal
enough for his calling to isolate him
self, IL need be, from his kind.
II Is needless to say that the mis-
nionary bishop has met with many
strange experiences in his remote life,
and has had an opportunity to study
all sorts of Indian character. In re-
ferring recently to the great changes
among the Sioux and other tribes. he
said:

There are many clergymen who
have gone into the great western
country to spread the gospel, not only
among the pioneer white settlers. but
among the Indians also. The Metho-
dist church has sent some of its ablest
men. Baptists and Presbyterians
have also been represented in this

church was the first to consecrate a
bishop especially for the mountain and

India Is the only country in which elephants
are used for hunting. In Africa the elephant ls

ivory. But in India the elephant is used quite
entirely for hunting and working purposes
The excitement OF a tiger hunt begins long be-

India build their hives in a hanging position on
the limbs OF trees. Very often these drop down
close to the ground and the thick underbmsh

and for the time being drives all thoughts OF tiger

that often lends excitement to a hunt such as
no tiger could provide. The hunter that is the
gentleman hunter who has gone to India for the
sport, occupies the howdah This is a very large
basket fastened to the elephants back by a very
strong rope. The spectacle reminds one of n

is that the tiger hunter often has to cling with
