Judge Posudin was slowly driving
towards the little country seat Of
Nil1olskoio in the rumbling wagon of
a peasant. The day before he had re-
ceived an anonymous letter denounclng
certain irregularities by several gov
eminent officials of the town, and wish
ing to take them by surprise, he had
left the train at small station and was
now approaching the town strictly in
cognito, as was necessary TO get to the
bottom of the matter
This time they are not going TO es-
cane, he numbled to himself. The ras-
Gals think they are safe, but they VIII
find out they have made a mistake when
I suddenly appear unannounced among
them
After enjoying his anticipated victory
he thought it would be fun to have
a talk with his driver, and, as he want
ed to hear something about his own
popularity he asked the peasant:
DO you know Posudin2"
Il have never seen him,I came the
reply from the grinning diver, but

of us. 1t is my duty to know him, l
might almost say
Yes. that IS right enough But how
is he? Is he clever"
Yes. he is clever enough in his way,
said the driver with a yawn, and he
knows his business all right. He has
been here only little more than two
years and has done quite lot

.I am glad the people think that of
me, anyway" thought Posudin tri-
umphantly.
And he is a very oily and pleasant

of us comes to make complaint he
shakes hands and asks him to sit down
and as soon as he hears of anything

Good heavens" thought Posudin.
Aloud he said: And how do you know
that THAT he drinks?"
Il do not know for sure for [ have
never seen him, but everybody knows
he drinks. You see when he is away
from home he never takes anything
strong. but he makes up for it inside
his own four walls. As soon as he opens
his eyes in the morning he asks for
vodka and he keeps up drinking all
day long. When the other one was
drinking he let everybody see it, but
this one looks himself up in his room
and he has had a tank made in his desk
with a rubber tube. SO he can suck his
vodka when he is working. and he has
