DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE
Love Story Written by Small Boy at
Least Brought Things to a
F1ppy Conclusion.

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome S. McWade, the well-known
Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent
dinner:
"At the approach of Valentine day
last year l offered a prize of five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. | have one of the stories here,
and l am going to read it to you"
Mr.. McWade then read:
ga poor man fell in love with a lady
whose mother was a rich toy dealer.
THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"a villain then offered him $50 if he
would become a %drunkard.
1.-THE poor man wanted the money to
get married with, so he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said:
"rNo, l will not become a drunkard,
even for great riches
con the way home he found a bag
of gold. So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

needle might be driven into the base
of his brain, after which he could be
dropped into the river; or, he could
be taken out to some lonely spot,
gagged, Of course, to prevent an out
cry, stabbed or beaten to death, and
robbed. The gags could then be re-
moved and this would cause the i'm
preston that he had been killed by
footpads for his money and ~valuables.
Fortunately, his attire, that of a
wealthy a%ristocrat, would c%orroborate
the impression. These are merely
suggestions, of course. Would it not
be well to decide officially on his fate,
and then appoint a committee to set
tie the manner of his removal?"
Mr.. Kourbski sat down and glanced
about with a self-satisfied air.
ut is time said Bielinski, rising
and resting both palms on the table,
ito bring this incidental discussion to
a close, and proceed with the more
important business of the evening.
Nothing must be allowed to interfere
with the great work which we have
in hand: The destruction of ~so-called
government and the establishment of
universal freedom; the elimination OF
war, oppression and tyranny, and the
Inauguration of general and ever
lasting peace, equality and brother
hood"

with enthusiasm, and his eyes glowe6

zines. Crossing this, they entered the
council chamber, a long, narrow apart
ment, with benches running around 1t,
and a long table in the center, With
chairs placed for about 20 people.
The Enemies of Russia seated them
selves on the benches and at the table.
Bielinski, who was evidently the
chairman, took his place at the head
of the table. Felix Hulin, after taking
the terrible sphere from his pocket
and laying it carefully on the table on
a tiny couch formed of his crumpled
handkerchief, removed his coat and
hung it upon a nail. He then took his
seat, by invitation, at Bielinskis
right.
Brethren" said the latter, rising,
''of the Society of the Enemies of
Russia!' He spoke very distinctly,
but not loud. The most absolute 81
lence prevailed. First we must de-
eide what to do with this man who
has introduced himself into our midst,
and has learned the secrets OF the
order. Though | do not personally be-
lieve him to be a spy, though | am
confident he was brought here by &C.
| cident. yet he is not of us, and he is
a friend of the naughty and wealth
pampered aristocrat whose name
forms the password Of the evening.
He was on his way to her residence
when he was brought here"
During this time Hardy remained
standing, with his opera hat beneath
his elbow and his ulster thrown over
his arm. His eyes n fixed on the
little ball in Hulin's handkerchief,
which, shining in the gas light, held
his gaze with a strange fascination,
like the baleful eye OF a snake.
What is his nationality" asked
one Of the brethren.
He says that he is an American
replied Bielinski.
"The Americans said the question
CT. fare a powerful nation. If we
should detain this man, who is him
self evidently an a%ristocrat, and has
friends, they would raise heaven ant
earth to find him, and there would be
much publicity and discussion
thing that we wish to avoid now. The
same thing would result II he shoult
permanently disappear"
Here he sat down, and silence
reigned for a full minute.
There is much TRUTH" at length
said Bielinski, "in what Brother Smir
noff says. Has any other brother an!
suggestion to make?"
Al young Russian arose, a fiorid
faced, cleansshayen youth, with blu
eyes and a sweet expression. HI
voice was soft and he smiled as b
talked.
HE must not disappear" said tn
speaker. .sas Brother Smirnon sayi

Odd Place for Confinement" on Sark,
One of the Beautiful Chan
mel Islands.

Sark, the loveliest of the channel
islands, possesses a quaint old prison
of two cells, more as a matter OF form
than Of necessity; for serious crime is
almost unknown in the island, which
has no paid police, but simply an
elected constable. 1t is { . years
since the prison was callcG TO requi-
sition, and on the last occasion the
bolt was found to be 80 rusty that
1t had to be broken before the door
could be opened. The prisoner was
then put in, left all night with the
door open, and made no attempt to
escape.
On another occasion a young English
servant, who had stolen some clothes,
was sentenced to three days impris-
onment. The prospect SO terrified her
that the authorities took pity on her
loneliness and considerably left the
cell open. The little maid sat in the
doorway and was consoled by kind
hearted Sark women. who came to
! keep her company.

Poets, Wills.

Famous poets make interesting
wills. Browning's was written in his
own beautiful hand, with the initials
Of all the nouns substantive In CAPT
tails, after the olden use; and the at
testing witnesses were "a. Tennyson'
and "F, T. Palgrave." Matthew Ar
nold's, also referred to, was remarka-
BILE for its brevity. A bakers dozen of
words were deemed enough: Il leave
everything of which | die possessed to
my wife Frances Lucy" This, how
ever, because no executor was APP
pointed, had to be set aside for letters
of administration; but the result was
the same. These two famous wills
form, with Shakespeare's. the most
notable trio perhaps ever handled by
probate In England.

Poisons Long in Use.

Some poisons have been known for
ages. Prussic acid, then called the
poison of the peach" was used by the
Egyptians before the pyramids were
built. They were the first to distill
the poison from peach pits. Corrosive
sublimate was one of the favorite
~poisons OF Charles TX. of France. He
offered a large prize for any n who
would find an antidote for it. A physi-
clan came to him one day to claim the
reward. The king sent for his cook.
who had burned the meat that day,
and made him take a fatal dose of cor
rosive sublimate. The antidote was
administered Immediately, but the
cook died, Notwithstanding. The king
had the doctor taken out and hanged,
so his spirit followed the cooks in
less than a quarter of an hour.

CHAPTER xxx.
Ii the Nlhilists, Den.

80 here we are at last!" he said;
hwait for me-" The house as he
glanced up at 1t did not impress him
as a palace, but he reflected that
some of the older and more exclusive
of the Muscovite nobility lived in
%antiquated and unpretentious resi-
E1ences. The isvoschik al up the
steps by his side and rang the bell.
An old woman opened the door.
"Ah," she said to the cabman, $50
you have brought him!"
"Da! da!" replied the Jehu, and
trudged down the steps.
1t was evident to Hardy that he was
expected at the house of the princess,
that even the servants had been told
to keep on the lookout for him. Hardy
had been shown into a small reception
room. where a coal fire was burning
in the crate. A couple Of easy chairs
and a lea~ther-covered lounge, some
what worn, formed the only furniture,
rather meager, 1t seemed to him, for
the palace Of a princess. He removed
his coat and sat down before the fire.
AS the old woman had been expecting
him, 1t was safe to that she
had gone to inform Romanovna of his
arrival. He arose, and with fingers
that trembled slightly, arranged his
white tie in a mirror over the mantle.
AS he was thus engaged. he could
hear two men talking. probably in the
hall, Just outside the door.

Hardy, meanwhile, slipping into a
long ulster, the fur collar of which he
turned up about his ears, left he

sidewalk. A droshky dashed up i'm
mediately.

The isvoschik jumped down with
alacrity extraordinary for a Russian.
"The Princess Romanovna?' he in

know where it is"
There was something strange in the
mans manner, SO strange, In fact,
that 1t set the American wondering
He acted as though he had been sent
for his fare, or had been expecting
him. But Hardy did not long dwell on
this idea, for he was, after all, on his
way to the princess. He would soon
be in her presence again, and the
thought so agitated him, SO set his
heart to beating, that all other mat
tiers were driven from his mind.
AS these thoughts were running
through Hardy's mind, 1t occurred te
him from time to time that 1t took
long time to reach the palace Of the
princess. He knew about where II
was located, though he had not visited
the spot. 1t should have taken hin
Is minutes to drive there from thu
hotel. He consulted his watch ant
found that he had been half an houl
on the road.

He was on the point Of opening thu
door and shouting to the isvoschik
when the latter drew up before
large, square house on a quiet, poorl,
lighted street. Hardy threw open tn
door and jumped out.

neither can we keep him. He would
be an elephant on our hands. Neither
would it be safe to turn him loose
with our secret in his brain and on
his tongue. 1t seems to me, with all
due reverence to my elders"-and
here he smiled and waved his hand
chat there is but one way. He must
die and his body must be found under
such circumstances that the police
will be led to believe he has met his
fate through accident. This will come
under the head, not of an execution,
but of a necessary removal for the
good of the order"
What method would you propose,
Brother Kourbski?" inquired Bielin-
ski.
"There are several methods that
naturally suggest themselves" replied
Kourbski, expansively. Hardy's eyes
left the mesmeric spot and sought the
speakers face.
"For instance, he might be chloro-
formed and thrown into the Moskva,
thus giving the impression that he
had fallen in and drowned; or, a fine

he simply disappeared - vanished
from the face of the earth. One OF
his arms was found two miles from
the place, lying beside a mountain
road"
'That would be good medicine for
the czar," chuckled a third voice.
Eyes, and for tyrants in general.
With this new and mysterious ex-
plosive, the Order has an agency by
which it can become a terror to the
ruling classes, by which it can de-
moralize society, and make way for
the new order Of things, the divine
brotherhood of a In six months
from now there will not be a man
living in Russia who will dare set
himself up above his fellow creatures
or take his seat on the tyrant throne
of Russia. Tonight we shall select
the brother who will throw the first
sphere"
But is it not fortunate" asked the
second speaker, that a member OF
the Enemies of Russia should have
made this important discovery? The
brother, Felix Hulin, is here--a slen-
der, dark man with {. glasses. The
cabman that we sent brought him and
he is now in the reception room. All,
but he has the air of a deep student!
Let us go in and make him welcome"
Hardy, still fumbling with his tie,
caught sight of his own face in the
mirror, and was startled by it's ex'
preston. 1t was the face of a mar
caught in a trap and who has only a
moment to escape before he is dis
covered.
He was in a nihilists' den and ha6
overheard a plot to kill the car. II II

what his fate would be. He seized

When Temnus Didn't Eunit.

Little Helen, during the three years
of her life, had never been separated
from her elder sister night or day for
more than a few minutes at a time;
but at last the time came when the
sister went away for a whole day.
The child tried every game and occu-
patton that she knew of, and a new
one or two suggested by her mother,
but they all palled.
Finally she gave up and stood and
looked sadly out of the window. Then
she sighed deeply and said:
Its still the same old day, isn't it,
mother?"-Woman's Home Companion.

Bielinski.
Il speak it imperfectly." replied
Hardy. 81 have been in the country
only a short time"
"You speak it well enough to under
stand" exclaimed Bielinski, "or you
would not have made so shrewd an
effort to get away. l am not SURE now
that you are not a spy. At any rate,
it will be a long time before you will
see your friend the Princess Roman
ovna."
Hardy noticed that the last two
words were spoken with an emphasis
of hate, which reminded him of the
Christian voices at S~tryetensk, spit
ting out "Mosehke! Moschke! The
Jew! The Jew!" Truly this Holy
Russia is a breeding-ground for many
violent hates.
They all moved silently down tc
the extreme end of the hall and passed
through a door into a large square
room, furnished with chairs ant
divans and a round table, upon which
were a number of books and maya

For the GOOD Of the Order.

The American, in immaculate even
ing dress, his crush hat beneath his
elbow and his fur-lined coat thrown
over his arm, stood at bay with his
back against the wall, silently cycling
the nihilists. The blood rushed back
to his heart, and his cheek paled a
