script group of old women, two or
three soldiers, and farmer or two
who soon collected about him. Then
he dashed into the house and set a
telegraph instrument, over which he
sometimes presided, to clicking.
Hardy, chilled to the marrow, now
that he had ceased walking and run
ming, and wearied to the point of col
lapse, sank on rustic bench, belieV-
ing himself forgotten in the excite
ment evidently occasioned by his
news. In this he soon found himself
mistaken, however, for a toothless
old crone, with kindly face and a
red handkerchief tied over her head,
came up to him and, taking him by
the arm, inquired:
"Zakouska?"
He swallowed three glasses of vod-
ka and ravenously devoured several
caviar sandwiches, after which he
was supplied with warm, dry clothing
and tucked away in bed.
When he awoke ii was mid-after-
noon, and the old commandant had
delved into a Russian-French diction-
airy sufficiently to dig out the words,
which he pronounced many times,
with a smiling face: "Sauves, mon
sieur, tous sauves!" thereby affording
the American the greatest joy and
relief and establishing his own reputa-
ton at the station as a wonderful
scholar
Hardy remained at the station one
week, at the end of which time he
resumed his journey to Stryetensk
on horseback, escorted by half dozen
Cossacks bound for Irkutsk on some
military mission or other.
He learned, very soon after his ar
rival at Stryetensk, that the relief
party had put in an appearance a
short time after his start down the
river on his perilous trip, and that
the princess had been rescued this
time entirely without his aid.

CHAPTER XXI.
Knight Errant.

Hardy's journey down the swift
vague, mysterious river that night
was an experience never to be for
gotten. Often, as he chung to his little
raft his knees would scrape on the
soft sand. and Just as frequently he
would swing off into deep water and
hang suspended above depths where
he might easily drown, should he
take a cramp or lose his nerve. Sew
eral times he grounded on sand-banks
and was obliged to drag off his wooden
buov. a matter of no little difficulty
as it was partly water-logged and
very heavy. Once he drifted close to
shore and found himself in a counter
current. that actually was taking him
back toward the Pushkin, and 1t was
only by swimming at right angles to
this and giving his raft frequent Wig
orous pushes, that he managed at last
TO get out into the downward sweep
of the stream.
Four hours after leaving the boat
he was on the military road that
stretched, dimly gray, between the
stolid. silent black of the Siberian
forests and the star-sprinkled, whis-
peripg black of the river.
He reached the military station-a
rambling building of square. hewn
logs fanked by several small struc-
tures-about ten O'Clock, and, break
ing his bottle, gave his dispatch to
white-hai-ed and corpulent soldier,
with very red face. whose frayed
and faded uniform proved him a petty

CHAPTER XXI.
Hardy Receives TWO Letters.

The store at Stryetensk was a low,
rambling building. constructed in the
shape of a capital E without the mid
die bar. A high board fence, connect
ing the extremities of the two wings,
inclosed one side of a square yard
which contained outbuildings and
sheds for horses, a droshky or two,
and several of the long boat-shaped
telegas that do duty in that country
as drays. In the clubhouse, moreover,
was kept a supply of plows and other
agricultural implements, while the
store itself was stocked with an i'm
mense and motley assortment of gen.
eral merchandise suited to the retail
demand of the region. and for whole
sale shipments to the towns along
the Shilka river, on which stream
Stryetensk is located.
Hardy found the city itself deary

collection of raw, squalid houses, 10

was as new and rough as the newest
frontier town in America and hope
lessly unattractive. despite the fact
that It was surrounded BY noble bills.

our trouble, perhaps losing your life.
The people do not understand your as
sociating with me. 1t is even whis-
pered that you are of Jewish descent"
Hardy laughed.

bodys business whom I employ for a
Russian teacher. | shall pursue the
course that seems best to me, and
shall not allow these people to inter
fere with my private affairs. If nee
essary, we will warn the authorities
that trouble is brewing"
Baruch sprang to his feet and
looked over toward Stryetensk, his
eyes blazing with hate.
ooh, the authorities" he cried; do
you know that the prosecutions of the
Jews in Russia are connived at by the
authorities, and tolerated even by the
car himself? Could not the authori-
ties, if they wished, uproot and dispel
the superstitions that make the Jews
hated and feared? The people of
Russia are mere animals, ignorant and
ferocious, and they do what they are
told. But there will be a day of reck-
oning for Unholy Russia The God
who opened the Red sea for Israel:
who led them through the wilderness
with a pillar of cloud by day and Of
fire by night; who talked with Moses

AS Mordecai said these words.
something of the power of an ancient
seer crept into his bearing, his red
eyes flashed fire, his shabby cloak
seemed the robe of prophet, and his
thin, hooked nose and Semitic fea
lures took on the dignity of the an.
cient and glorious race whose insignia
they we're.
Hardy arose. 1--WE will walk back
together, Mordecai," he said, quietly.
On his return to the store he found
awaiting him a letter from Moscow.
1t was addressed in Russian, but the
epistle itself was written in French
and bore at its head a princely crest.
He trembled and his face paled as he
turned back and glanced eagerly at
the signature, 'Elizabetha Ro-
manovna."
"Mordecai." said he, "come early
this evening. I am going to try to
write a letter IN Russian. and shall
want you to straighten Il out for mel

Russian lessons, and ever there had
been constantly in his mind the
thought that this was her language,
and that, if he should ever meet her
again, he would be able to talk with
her in her own tongue.
Now, however, he was distracted by
the scowling faces of the early vii
layers whom he met on the streets.
The raft-like ferry was crowded, and
he noticed that the passengers drew
away from himself and Mordecai, as
though fearing some contagion. These
people muttered, repeating the words,
THE Jew! The Jew!" with a loathing
and fear such as Hardy had never
heard put into human speech before.
AS uttered by them the word itself
become an epithet of hate and super
stitious horror, the most opprobrious
insult that could be hurled at a fellow
creature.
Hardy glanced at Mordecai. His
companion stood silent, looking down,
nervously clasping one hand in the
other, the collar of his long cloak
turned up about his ears. Once he
looked up, fleeting glance, and there
was baleful light, half hate, half fear,
in his reddish-brown eyes.
On the country road which they
took after leaving the ferry, they
passed several telegas, or long
wagons, coming into town, and Hardy
observed that the drivers of these
also eyed him and his companion
with looks of loathing, and again he
heard, above the rattle of the wheels,
that ancient cry of hate, "The Jew!
The Jew!"
They sat down beneath a tree on
the side of hill commanding view
of the town and the winding Shilka,
up whose rapid current a steamer was
now shouldering it's way, leaving be-
hind a trailing plume of black smoke
of incredible size. They conversed in
Russian for awhile, Mordecai skill
fully leading the dialogue, without any
reference to the unpleasant incidents
of the morning. When, however,
Hardy arose at last to return to the
shore, the lew said:
you have made great progress, my
dear pupil You will now be able to
get along by yourself, or by the help
of a Russian teacher, who does not
know any English"
81 do not desire to make a change"
replied Hardy; 81 am more than sat
isfied with my present teacher"
Nevertheless" insisted Baruch,
"the time has come when it will be
no longer safe for you to go on with
me. l have wanted to speak of this
for several days, but it has been so
pleasant to me to have the society of
a human being here in this country of

CHAPTER XIII.
The Hated Jew.

The Hated Jew.
One morning, as Hardy was busy
at his desk in the rear of the principal
room of the store, Vasili came and
stood beside him, smiling supercili-
ously.
Are there many Jews in American"
he asked.
Hardy, believing that this was sim
ply another attempt on the part of his
clerk to take an English lesson, re-
piled sharply:
81 don't know. Don't talk to me
now, please, I'm busy"
But Vasili, contrary to his custom,
when he was coolly received, per-
sisted
"The Jews are very numerous in
Russia. They are much hated by the
Christians. They crucified our
Saviour and they sacrifice young chill
dren to their heather rites"
This was rather an extended effort
for Vasili, and, though it had a de-
cided Ollendorfian ring, there was
something in his manner that indi-
Gated a deeper purpose than the mere
desire to profit by his superior's Eng
lish.
"Nonsense!" exclaimed Hardy with
irritation. 81 have no patience with
any such folly. That is all an idle
superstition unworthy to be enter
tanned by a man Of your intelli-
gence."
Nonsense, is it?" sneered Vasili.
my father hates the Jews, and my
uncle hates them worse than my ia
Their. Do the Americans love the
Jews?'
NO they do not love them, neither
do they hate them. Some of our best
citizens are Jews. There is no such
thing as religious persecution in
America. Any man is respected in
that country who earns his living hon
estly."
Vasili went about his work, but re-
turned later with the remark:
"The people of this town want the
Jews to go. They do not understand
why you are seen so much with the
Jew, Mordecai. 1t might be dangerous
for you, if there should be trouble.
Some say that you are an American
Jew"
Hardy dropped his pen and looked
up with interest. A slight flush, red
spot, crept into his cheek.
you may tell my esteemed and
somewhat meddlesome neighbors, for
me-" he drawled, that am neither a
Jew nor a Choctaw Indian, and that
when l need their advice in my priv
ate affairs, shall call them in"
81 am a Russian" persisted Vasili
edo you love Jews better than Rus
sians?"
MY dear Vasili, when you persist
in making a nuisance of yourself, as
at present, am quite sure that | like
the Jews better than the Russians, or,
at least, than some Russians. If you
have anything to do, will you kindly
go about it? never felt better able
to endure your absence than at this
very instant"
Vasili moved away, smiling, but it
was an evil smile.
Hardy returned to his accounts and
tried to dismiss his clerks remarks
from his mind. He succeeded for the
time being, as the work before him
was engrossing, but later in the day
the Russians observations persistent
ly required to him, and caused him
considerable annoyance. He fancied
that the retail trade had been falling
OF somewhat. and wondered if this
were a result of the Russian lessons
with the Jew. The next morning he
took long walk with Mordecai, cross
ing the ferry that is ingeniously run
by the force OF the rivers current.
