Where To Find A Hangman
By V. BrusIanin.

~ HEY sought long for a hangman
and they took a long time TO
= plan how to hang a live man.
There are clever. honest. and expert
enced men in our town, but no one
could be found who knew how to hang
q man.
About five years ago our town cele-
brated the bicentenary of its founda-
ton, and during those two long cen
turtles there had not been a single in
stance when it had been necessary to
worry ones head over the question as
TO how to hang a live man. There
were cases when people hanged them
selves But 10 hang another MANI
A hangman could not be found for
a long time.
Warden Ulanoff, who wanted to
please his superiors. did all he could.
He had been all over the town looking
for bold man who would not be
afraid to strangle man.
Ulanoff also went to the Pismianka
rumor had spread that at Pismianka
lived a man who had been a hangman.
The Pismianka muzhiks felt offended.
First warden Nikitin also wanted TO
get into favor with his supeFiors, and
tried his luck amongst the conTicts.
In the prison was certain convict
named Was Potapoff, a strong, healthy
man, with a freckled face. Nikitin
leveled the whole force of his argu-
ments at Potapoff and persuaded him
at last.
the prison office, and when he came
back to the cell everybody wanted to
know what their mate had absented
himself for.
Petapoff slept badly that night. He
had no oppressive thoughts. but there
was a certain heaviness of the head,
and his heart beat convulsively. His
mates in the common cell were all
asleep, with faces like those of chill
dren-calm, kind, resting-but he
could not sleep.
why are you restiye% Potapoff
heard a voice in the quiet Of the night;
he shuddered and turned his face
away. By his side lay a gray. frail
little man with a goats beard. He was
the peddler Mikeshin, imprisoned for
some petty fraud.
"Why2 Do 1 disturb your"
He was anxious that no one should
notice the torture he went through
during the night. And there. by his
side, lay a man who might have OBJ
served it all
You torment yourself. that's what
want TO tell you" commenced Nike
sin, after pause. We'll, you viii
get over it; but Is roubles is hand
some money, Besides they might give
you plenty OF vodka. I have heard
that hangmen are given wine to drink
in order to dull their conscience, be-
cause the hand might tremble il ones
conscience should awake"
The next day the cOnvicts learned
while out for a walk, that Potapoff
was to be placed in a solitary cell

THE MANICURE LADY
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

6"HERE was a young man in
here this morning to have his
= nails did," said the manicure
lady, and it is the first time since
have been in this business that I have
ever saw a elevator, or laviator. or
whatever it is they call them bright
young souls that goes smiling up into
the azure skies like them meadow
larks that Percy Kelley used to write
about He was grand looking fellow,
george, the kind of a looking fellow
that you used TO be, 1 guess, before
you got fat
Il don't want any of that kind of
game, said the head barber I got
troubles enough on earth without go
ing up into the sky to look for trou-
bles. It's hard enough to live on the
earth and keep from going in the air"
I guess you are right about that
part of it," agreed the manicure lady.
1 would like to watch a handsome
young gent like him sailing up toward
the fleecy clouds in a nice big biplane:
but as for me, want to keep my little
feet on terra Gotta
"On terra what?' asked the head
barber.
Terra Gotta" answered the mani
cure lady That's Latin for solid
ground, or at least it Is as near as I
remember. How would you pronounce
When went to school we used to
see a word in the geography that was
spelled something like Terra del Fue-

into a solitary cell" asked PotapOtf.
In a solitary cell? In order that
nothing should happen to you. You
are most precious man that they have
at the present. There have been cases
when a hangman has been knocked
about, even killed outright"
At night four masks were brought
Here you are, try it on" said the
warden, handing mask to the con-
Wet.
Potapoff selected a haIfmask. and
examined it for a long time Then he
placed il on the table and did not
touch il for some time.
They awoke him in the morning by
a blow on the side and made him drink
half bottle of vodka They led him
through the long prison corridor; the
convicts still slept They got out into
the yard. Water was trickling off the
room. Flakes of wet snow fell from
the dark sky. Potapoff carried the
halfmask and obediently followed.
In the remote end of the prison yard
stood white posts with a cross beam
and a rope. A small table looked like
a black spot on the ground.
POtapoff stood by the posts. From
behind the prison detachment Of sol
diers appeared They marched up,
stopped not far from the posts, swung
their rifles. and then became motion
less. The officer lit a cigaret- Only
pie at the corner of the prison; there
were the governor, the doctor and
some other gentlemen.
From behind the prison, and out Of
the darkness appeared black shadows
which came nearer and nearer. Ev-
erything seemed to become lifeless in
the yard around the new posts. The
red light of the officers cigarer went
out They led up the condemned man
and placed him near the posts, by the
side of Potapoff. Potapoff put on his
halfmask and it seemed to him that
everything became dark around him.
Commence shouted someone
Potapoff did not stir. Someone ran
up to him and tugged at his sleeve.
Why do you stand like that? Com
menceH'
Potapoff saw the pale alabaster face
Of the man he was TO murder and he
fell back. dense fog stood before
his eyes, and the dark silk mask
pressed against his face and nearly
smothered him

crowd.
Somebody pushed Potapoff in the
back, but he pressed his feet against
the wet snow and swung his arms as
il he himself were being led to the
Go backl' came the order. and the
condemned man was led away.
In the dark prison corridor, warden
Nikitin struck Potapoff a blow on his
mask covered face. Blood streamed
from POtapoffs nose. but he did not
resist, and he was not angry. He was
willing TO stand anything to avoid
meeting the gaze Of the man he was
to execute.

Now I know what I meant" ex-
terra firma. Amt ii funny, George,
that a well educated girl can make
such a mistake in the remuneration of
terday and told me that I could have
done such a thing as TO renounce a
word wrong, I would have gave you

Never, never" exclaimed the mani

George, the same as a lot of people
have, but think I am too good lover
Of fair play to kid poor Ounce. I'd
rather try my fine work on some men

Florida Man Makes lee.
The real credit for the discovery OF
the process of manufacturing ice as
practical commercial product, however,
is largely due to Dr. John GorrIe, OF
Florida, who was granted patent Tor
an ice machine in 1857. Dr. Gorrie mad
succeeded in making Ice as early as
1916, but was unable to get the neces-
sary capital to develop his idea, Ihe
apparatus used by DR.. GOrrie was the
forerunner of the compressed air ma
chine now in use. The Importance OF
DIR. GOrTie's invention in ice prOduc-
ton is SO well recognized that mon
ument has been erected to his memory
in Appalachicola and the state of Flor
ida has arranged to place his statue in
the capitol at Washington.
In addition to the manufacture OF
ice, the production of low tempera-
tCTe by means of chemicals has made
possible the refrigeration and cold
stOrages which now play so important
a part in the public health and COM
fort. It has made possible the preser-
walton of all kinds OF food products in
their natural state. There are so many
branches of this work that it has led
TO the development of { new calling.
Refrigerating engineering is now rec

products require a difference in tenn
For instance. fruit and eggs must be
kept at a temperature slightly above

DR.. Gorrie's discovery arose from his

are likely TO make possible many
seemingly impossible operations in the
