"My dear Mordecai," replied Hardy

me with pity and indignation, and

feelings. l have small doubt that all
you say of the Romanoffs is true, with
one exception. You must except the

The Jew made no reply, but quietly
directed the envelope, and shortly aft
er took his leave.
He had not been gone more than
ten minutes before Hardy heard tap
at the door of his room, and called,

ladder, but was stopped by Wang,
who glided up to him.

there no priests robes in the store?'
Hardy gazed at him for moment,
and then sudden comprehension
seized him.
Good" he cried, good"
Springing to a counter he jerked
down long priests robe and tall hat.
Mordecai was crouching between
bales of cloth. From these Hardy
dragged him forth.

clustered together in one quarter,
while the house in which Baruch dwelt
with his aged mother was at some dis
lance from these. Perhaps it would
be possible to reach Mordecai before
the Christians got there and warn him.
If necessary, he would offer the Jew
the shelter of the store. He seized
his hat and went out into the dimly-
lighted street. He had gone only a
short distance when boy stopped
him with a OBTAINING hand. Hardy
looked down and his eyes fell on a
Korean youth. He knew instantly that
1t was q Korean from the costume:
Baggy trousers, loose blouse and hat
of bamboo frame covered with hair
cloth.

cursed Jews have sacrificed him. This
thing has gone on long enough" Vasili
was speaking Russian now. only last
spring a Christian young man was
found dead, murdered, and the police
could not find out who did it. They
laid it on the Jews Who else could
have done it? Would a Christian
murder a Christian? Impossible!
Such things must stop. We are going
to tear down the Jewish houses and
the Jewish store. If we do not find
the child, we will kill every Jew in
Stryetensk. We will tear their chill
dren TO pieces!"
With this, Vasili rushed from the
room. Hardy gazed for some mo-
ments at the closed door through
which his clerk had just disappeared.
This is getting serious" he NUT
tered at last, rising. ut may even
result in serious consequences to the
store"
Up to this moment he had not been
able to realize that human beings,
many of whom could read and write,
could be capable of such fanatlcism,
or that credence in the medieval SUI
perstition of child-sacrifce could still
exist. The thought that he was alone
here in the midst of this irresponsible
population gave him uneasiness as to
his own safety. He wondered how
generally the report was circulated
that he himself was a Jew, and the
suspicion crept through his mind that
perhaps Vasili was responsible for it.
Could it be possible that the Russian
cherished ambitions of being made
manager? Hardy looked at his pistol
and determined, II it became neces-
sary, to defend himself But as for
Baruch, would it be possible to do any
thing for him? There we're, he re-
membered, about a dozen Jewish fam
lilies in town. whose residences we're

But, excellency," persisted the boy,
perhaps l can be Of use to you now.

He spoke rapidly, and his Russian,
though bristling with errors, was cas-
lily understood. Hoping to get en-
ployment of you and to become use

pie here hate you, and they are thirst

"You are very bright boy" he
said at last. 81 really believe you
could do this thing better than l. Run
then to the Jewish quarter and see
what is going on. Then hasten to the
house of Mordecai Baruch-do you
know where it is?"
Yes, excellency. You passed there

We'll! You have been shadowing
me. Tell Mordecai to bring his moth
er to my store, if they are in real
danger, and l will try to protect them
The Russians will hardly dare attack
American property. Then run back
to me as fast as you can"
Yes, excellency."
The boy was gone, and Hardy, after
watching his slender form as it few
down the street until 1t disappeared
around the corner, turned and re-en-
tered the store. Removing his coat
and hat, he sat down at his table, and
awaited the boys return. The more
he thought of this occurrence, the
stranger it seemed to him. Seldom
had he acted so purely on impulse as
in the present instance. But the boy
had come up to him so suddenly, he
was so quick-witted and his PROPOSE
ton so sensible, that there was no re-
sisting him. Hardy had heard that

ably in this respect with the preco-
cious Japanese.
In less than half an hour the boy
was back. The housekeeper brought
him to the door of Hardy's living
room and admitted him. He had the
girlish cast of features that had made
it so difficult for Hardy to distinguish
between the Korean boys and girls in
| Vladivostok. His hair was drawn up
into a tight knot on top of his head,
| and his face, save for a livid scar
! across his right cheek and temple,
was positively beautiful.
"Well?" said Hardy.
"The worst is happening" said the
boy, quietly. 1.-THE wolves are bowling
and have already smelled blood. They
are maddened by the scent of it. They
are demolishing the Jewish houses,

He laid on table a poster bearing
crude wood-cut of the Saviour's
head, wearing the crown of thorns.
Beneath were the words:

hands in his pockets. From time to
time he stopped and listened, but all
was silence without.

He was chattering with fright. Even

with horror.

"Hark!" he whispered, "the Chris

The Divorce Supper.

John Jacob Astor has inaugurated a
new custom for people of fashion On
the night before his wife was to secure
her divorce Colonel Astor sumptuous-
~ entertained $50 of his friends. The
affair began with a splendid supper
and ended with cotillion, the favors
costing, according to reliable dispatch
es. the neat but by no means gaudy
sum of $4,000.
Owing to the success of Colonel AS
tors party, adds the Chicago Record
: Herald, we may expect the divorce
sReper to supersede the wedding break
fast as social diversion, and it is
also to be expected that as society
warns up to 1t the idea may be elab-
GRATED In no small degree. For OBJ
sious reasons the divorce supper can
not be preceded by functions that
shall be graced by bridesmaids, and
for reasons that are equally apparent
the host at a divorce supper cannot be
expected to have a best man seated
at his right.
