"The woman is right he said.
These notes are not genuine. must
ask Mr.. Golovnin to allow me to ex.
anime the other notes in his wallet"
At the request Golovnin produced
his pocketbook, without the slightest
hesitation, and pulling out packet of
notes handed them, with thoroughly
confident air, to the minister, who at
once pronounced them to be forgeries
also. Briazga, pallid and trembling,
then came forward and having ex-
amined tie notes, wrung his hands
despairingly.
"Sir, am forced to confess that
every note there is false" he said
nervously. But ! believe that my
brother-in-law is the victim of some
knavish trick. Is 1t not possible that
the bag Of fortune-teller has brought
this about by her devilish art?"
At this remark all eyes were turned
to the spot where the old woman had
stood, but she had disappeared. In
the hubbub and confusion consequent
on the discovery that the notes were
forged she had managed to slip away
unperceived.

and when he gained entrance to the
marriage feast in the role of fortune
teller, his triumph was complete. In

placed large number of cleverly

witch was sure that Peter Golovnin,
the bridegroom, would supply himself
literally with money from the boxes
for his marriage, and if the forged
notes were found in his possession the
evidence would be overwhelming.
It remains to say that the guilt was
brought home to all concerned. The
prisoners were condemned to death,
as they had committed crime against
the state, but the sentence was com.
muted to Punishment for life to ST.

wedding feast. Soon after the we'd
ding party arrived at the house an old
woman, professional fortune-teller,
presented herself and begged to be
admitted. AS the Russians are a
superstitious people. they encourage
these fortune-tellers, and the bride
groom, who was hilarious with vodka
and wine, was the first applicant to
have his fortune told.
The seer into the future produced a
pack of cards, jumbled them up to-
gether, then repacked them and told
the bridegroom to cut them four
times, and the bride three. That
done, the fortUne-teller laid the cards
out in five rows and said:
There is some evil influence OBJ
structing the charm. Can you, SIR
addressing the Undergraduates on
the table 5000 rouble notes? That
perhaps will break the spell"
1t was a common thing for fortune
tellerS to request that small sums OF
money be produced, but this was an
unusually large amount, and there
was a general murmur Of surprise,
while Briazga appeared to be partic-
ularly uneasy and troubled. But
Peter Golovnin; with a boastful air
and drunken leer on his face,
brought forth a leather wallet stuffed
full of notes. With unsteady hand he
counted out five notes of the value of
1000 roubles each, and laid them on
the table The fortune-teller took
them up, and turning to the minister
of finance, who was standing close
beside her, thrust the notes into his
hand, exclaiming:
You are an officer Of the state, sir.
These notes are forged Ask the
bridegroom, your excellency, why he
carries false money in his purse"
