Nbo bv = Word

Astapova, Russia.-In the passing OF
the aged novelist and philosopher, the
world lost one of it's most remarkable
men. Born of wealth and title he
came to prefer the coarse garments
and the scant fare of the peasant;
having served heroically in the
Crimean war, he became the apostle
II peace and non-resistance; in a land
of despottsm he preached a doctrine
of defiance to authority, and even the
mighty car dared not arrest him; his
heart torn by the poverty and suffer

Tolstoi, who when he assumed the
peasants costume assumed his work

daughters who wore the rough clothes

years, owing to a gradual decline of

SYNOPSIS.

Capt. Nathaniel Plum, Of the sloop

stronghold of the Mormons. He is sud
denly confronted by Obadiah Price, an
eccentric old man and member or the

tions that he has got the wrong man. and
bargains for the ammunition aboard the
sloop. He binds Nat by solemn oath to
president Of the United States. Near
Prices cabin Nat sees the frightened face
Of a young woman who disappears In the
darkness, leaving an OdOr or lIacs. 1t

Is to demand settlement from the king,
Strang, for the looting of his ship some

Casey, the mate, has been left in charge

DINING OUT WITH FRIENDS
How Boarding House Romance Be-
gan Between Two Homeless Lodg.
ers Who Had No Acquaintance.

Not until boarding houses cease to
exist will all their romances be writ
ten. Shabby romances, some of them
are, like that of the young woman who
got SO tired of being called poor
thing" because she received no invi-
tations and had to eat all her meals
at the boarding house table that she
took to eating alone once in awhile at
cheap restaurant; and then brazen-
ly lying about the friends who had
invited her to dinner
There was young man in that
house who never went anywhere eth
er. The first night the girl stayed out
life's desolation nearly overpowered
him. Even that poor little white
faced soul has made friends who want
her." he said. Nobody wants me.
I'm no good on earth"
Then on rare occasions his place at
the table was vacant. New friends?"
asked the landlady.
Yes" lied the young man.
One night the man and the girl met
in a 25-cent restaurant They blushed,
they fenced, they finally confessed.
We're a pair Of frauds" said the
girl. tits awful to think that to-
night when we go home we will have
to swear that we have been dining with
friends"
We'll" said the young man. "ain't
we?"

vas the ideal hospitality which al
ways reigned supreme. In his early
life it was Tolstoi's pleasure to en-
tertain lavishly for his aristocratic
Russian friends. Later, when fame
came, bringing with a mighty literary
opened his doors and was "at home"
to the whole world Believers from
every land Travelled the intervening
miles to become guest at his
patriarchal home. People who doubt
ed, but admired, nevertheless made
the pilgrimage in order to become con-
vinced. And they were convinced,
many of them, and returned home to
preach the faith that Tolstoi taught
them-the faith Of the true life. What
this faith is it would take volumes
to tell. Tolstoi occupied many volumes
in giving it to the world.
His mode of living, which was as
varied as it was eccentric, created
very nearly as much discussion as his
literary works. By a gradual and not
entirely consistent evolution he came
to the life si1nplified," as he called It.
and it was through the peasants
jacket and the peasants hoe that he
thought to find the life simplified."
With advancing age his eccentric
ideas and habits became more pro-
nounced. and finally eliminated in the
foolish and apparently aimless pill
grimage which precipitated his finaa
illness.
Tolstoi's hold upon the people of
Russia was beyond calculation. A
constant thorn in the side of the
ear, Siberian exile would have been
mis- but that the reigning autocrat real
ized that to harm hair Of his head
Dr. to interfere in the slightest degree
with his liberties would mean a revo
luton on the part of the adoring
masses which would have drenched
the country in the blood Of the nobili-
~ and have sent the throne of the
Romanoffs crashing into oblivion. De-
cant of the government, he was as
scornful of the denunciations Of the
church and accepted accommodation
as the empty and harmless protest of
false and barbarous religion. And
great as he was in Russia he was
greater in the worldwide realm of
thought and literature.

was a trembling break in his voice

throbbed within it. When he raised
his eyes to his companions face again
there was a light in them that spoke
almost as plainly as words.
'You haven't accepted my price, yet,
Neil" he replied quietly. Il asked you
If you'd-be-a sort Of brother"
Neil sprang to his side with fervor
that knocked the pipe out of his hand.
'T swear that! And If Marion
doesn't"
Suddenly he jerked himself into a
listening attitude.
"Hark!"
For moment the two ceased to
breathe. The sound had come to them
both, low, distant. After it there fell
a brief hush. Then again, as they
stared questioningly into each others
eyes, it rolled family into the swamp
the deep, far baying of hound.
"Ah!" exclaimed Neil, drawing back
with deep breath. Il thought they
would do it,"
'The bloodhounds!"

Why Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
sical Past the follies and frivolities
OF youth.
Usually successful
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when it
comes to him, as it is q sign Of Sc
dateness and dignif1ed. learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

In a few words he reviewed the
events Of the preceding evening and
of that morning-of his coming to the
island, his meeting with Obadiah, and
Of the singular way in which he had
become interested in Marion. He
omitted the oaths but told of VIM
some's warning and of his interview
with the Mormon king When he
spoke of the girl as he had seen her
