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, fieeting 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, 1.-The Jew!
The Jew!"
They sat down beneath a tree on
the side of hill commanding a view
OF the town and the winding Shilka,
up whose rapid current a steamer was
now shouldering its way, leaving be-
hind trailing plume of black smoke
of incredible size. They conyersed 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 Jew said:
You have made great progress, my
dear pupil. You will now be able to
get along by yourself. or by the help
Of Russian teacher, who does not
know any English"

replied Hardy; II am more than sat

CHAPTER XIII.
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 America"
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:
Il 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:
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 deeper purpose than the mere
desire to profit by his superior's Eng
lish.
Nonsense" exclaimed Hardy 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?"
mo, 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. II 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 l am neither a
Jew nor a Choctaw Indian, and that
when I need their advice in my priv
ate affairs, I shall call them in"
Il am Russian" persisted Vasili;
do 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 1t
was an evil smile.
Hardy returned to his accounts and
tried to dismiss his clerks remarks
from his mind. He succeeded for the

that the retail trade had been falling

RIVERSIDE RESERVOIR
GIVES FARMERS SCARE

Threatening the lives of the resi-
dents within miles of the Riverside
reservoir near Green City on Friday
the waters of the reservoir were
dashed in to fury by the winds and
theatened time and again to break
the banks and huri themselves down
upon the helpless farmers in the
district
All day long ranchers of the dis
trict worked in the hurricane, bring
ing huge bags of sand to the banks
for the purpose of keeping the water
within bounds.
1t was thought for several hours
that the waters would entirely break
the banks and that they would over
whelm the farm lands and this would
undoubtedly have been the case en-
cept for the fact that the men of the
neighborhood worked with the sand
bags throughout the day and until
late into the night when all danger
from the waters was entirely past.
The reservoir has threatened TO
burst its banks many times in the
past but yesterday the wind caught
the waves just right and hurled
them full against the shores at the
weakest portions of the banks.
1t is said that some other means
that the voluntary efforts of the
farmers will have to be devised TO
protect the lives and property OF the
farmers of that district.

TROUBLE PROMISES TO
BE SOMEWHAT SERIOUS

The trouble which promises to as
sumo serious aspect for the Greek
settlers around Platteville, started
when kassios killed a pig which is
said to have been frequent visitor
on Kassios property.
On the day in question the pig is
alleged to have frightened Kassios'
horses so that the animals kicked
Kassios which so infuriated him that
he Immediately slaughtered the hog.
That night he was set upon by
Dieman who had gathered some of
his friends about him, so it is al
legged. and was given a severe beat
ing.
The Greeks are taking sides in the
affair which promises to develope
into serious trouble and for this rea-
son and fearing that the Greeks
might attack him at any moment.
Kassios wants all of them arrested.

There is thickly lined residence

ced in the Tribune some months ago
The work on the street car sys-
TEN is progressing in good shape.
Most of the iron poles down town
