A DARING WAGER.
The Liberty Major vakseI Took With
the Eccentric Gar, Paul I.


Paul l., the eccentric czar of Rus
sia, assassinated in 1901, was very
particular as to his dress and consid-
cred trifling matters as Of supreme
Importance. This popularity was
once taken advantage of by an officer
Of the guards, Major Vaksel, to win
wager. The major. the joker Of the
army, had bet several hundred roubles
that he would tweak the tail Of the
emperor's wig on parade.
The next day, the story runs, the
emperor happened to be present at
early parade and. as chance would
have it. took position for a moment
Immediately in front Of the daring
major. Rreathless with excitement
and terror. Vaksel's companions be-
held that rash officers right hand
steal slowly from his side, rise to the
level Of the cars neck and give the
wigs hanging tail a most decided
tweak.
In an instant the emperor's face.
pale with fury, was turned upon YAK
sells countenance, which, however, re-
flected only an expression Of child
like innocence, mingled with the most
deferential astonishment.
who dared do that?" demanded
the enraged czar, his eyes flashing
evidence that his most dangerous
mood was upon him.
II did, your majesty" said Vaksel,
who. however his heart may have flut-
tered, managed to preserve outwardly
unruffled calm, together with an ex-
preston of innocent surprise. 1T was
crooked, your majesty" he added In
a confidential undertone, land I
Strengthened it for fear the younger
officers should see it,
Paurs countenance cleared at once
He stared fixedly. however, at YAK
sells innocent looking face for some
seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward
that this was the trying moment, but
he had said to himself. IF 1 waver
am lost" Then the czar spoke, and
spoke so that all might hear:
Il thank you. COLONEL"
If ever a step in rank was gained
by purest effrontery 1t was so acquir-
ed on this occasion. and Vaksel left
the field not only promoted to COW
eted position In the guards, but richer
by many hundred roubles as the re-
suit of his wager.-Chicago Record
Herald.

Darlington took it. He guessed Its
contents. Breaking the seal he read

his breath, and slowly tore the sheet

Then I low yo' want yo' supper

his head.
"No, you needn't bother, jeff" he
said, as he turned toward the stairs.
Ten minutes later and he had got
together his belongings and was ready
to quit Thicket Point. He retraced
his steps to the floor below. In the
hall he paused and glanced about him.

THE POLE STAR.
Some of the Wonders Of This Great
Beacon Of the North.

Beacon Of the North.
Most people, If they know nothing
else Of astronomy. at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep it's place in the heavens with
out movement of any kind. There
are a great many, however, who do
not know what a wonderful thing 1t
is. In the fret place 1T can be seen
when looked at through a good tele-
scope to be two stars and not one.
There is one fairly bright one. Of what
Is known as the second magnitude,
and another of the ninth magnitude
close to 1t.
But that Is not all. The brighter
of the two Is really three stars re-
volving round one another, or rather
round their common center of grav-
ity, like three children playing ring
ring O. roses" This secret Is re-
vealed to us by what Is. perhaps. the
most astonishing OF all scientific in
struments, the spectroscope. 1t not
only tells US what the stars are made
Of. but whether they are moving to-
ward us or away from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to move az the
others do is because it i3 nearly in line
with the axis of the earth. It's dis
tance from us is enormous. This can
be judged from the fact that although
the earth in its journey around the
sun is today about 19O.OO0.O00 miles
from where it was six months ago,
that makes no appreciable difference
to its distance from the pole star. 1t
900. 900 miles away.
