A Halter of the Aristocracyy

AS for his betrothed, Tatiana Chestof,
she was his cousin and he had known
her from childhood. Now that a career
was opening before him he offered him
self to her for better or for worse'-as
the English say.
Tatiana, a double orphan, had been liv-
ing for some time with her aunt, Capt.
toline Markovna Chestof. an old maid of
80, very eccentric in her manners, given
much to persuadng herself that she was
a hater of the aristocracy and lover of
the people, and taking little mental excur-
sions into the realm of free thought.
The mature spinster had for some time
made her home i'm Dresden and there her
niece had been visiting her. She was,
with all her peculiarities, a kind hearted,
self sacrificing old maid and hated and
sccffed at frivolity and luxury SO ener-
getically that when 1t was decided that
Iitvinof and his fiancee were to start for
Russia, taking Capitoline along with
them, she decl.red that she must have
a peep at fashionable Baden before she
returned to her native land

81 really cannot tell you." replied Sa-
zonthe gravely, II am very we'll ac-

mingled with the society which surrounds
her. Some things | have heard, but you
know gossip is not to be depended upon
and / paid little attention to them" Then,
after a pause. he added: II cannot but
see that you are deeply interested in
her"
II knew her 10 years ago." said Greg
ory. "sinoe that time-but 1t Is no mat
ter"
However, the next day Saozonthe ap-
peared, saying that he had come from
Irene with request that Gregory keep
his promise to call upon her. He called
mot once, but several times, and felt
all his old passion for Irene return
ing.
She, on her part, used upon him all her
charms, rapidly gathering his soul into
her gilded net He began to dread the
day when Tatiana and her aunt would
arrive in Baden.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-26
Another Man Now

An hour later Gregory sat alone in
his room buisly unpackipg his trunks
Before him lay d letter from Tatiana
which he had just received saying that
her aunt had entirely recovered and
that the two would arrive in Baden at
noon the next day.
The next morning he e-received a note
from Irene. 1t read: II can repeat what
l last night told YOU; my fate is in
your hands; do with me as you will.
leave you perfect freedom: only know
that if you require it. l will leave all
and follow you wherever you may GO
Tomorrow we will meet again"
Litvinof met Tatiana and her aunt at
the railway station upon their arrival
in Baden. A great change had taken
place in him since the day before.
In every attitude and notion in the
very expression of his face he felt
himself another man. An evil spirit had
penetrated the sanctuary of his soul
and silently taken possession there; II
had become his master and he felt its
power.
He was ashamed no longer: he felt
the rashness of despair mingled with
fear.

'Can you not see that the man before
you has been broken down and irrevo-
cably ruined by the very passion from
Which he seeks to save you-and by the

Suffocated by Her Surroundings

one night when Litivnof was alone with
Irene at her hotel, she said: Gregory,
l cannot but see that you try to drag
youI self away from me. Why do you
do it?"
In act, Gregory had been struggling to
break the net He called to his rescue all
his resolution and replied:
Irene, you want the truth. Must | rot

tinacity to a caprice, to desire on your
part to regain your former influence over

All Sorts and Conditions

There were all sorts and conditions of
people at Baden, and all sorts of Rus
SLAMS, that nationality much affecting the
place.
There were Russian counts and coun-
tesses, princes and princesses, diplomats
ano army officers, and not few of
those people now called ''intellectuals'
and that class of people who. later, grew
in Nihilsts, each with special recipe
for curing the ills of their country and
mankind i'm general
Some of those Russians bored Gregory
some disgusted him, but he, because of
his nationality, naturally mingled with
them during his days of waiting for
Tatiana.
One night, upon returning to his room
IN the hotel. Litvinof saw a letter lying
on the table and eagerly opened it, say
ing TO himself, From Tatiana."

Her voice failed; Litvinof turned ana

quickly and his anger melt away.
Irene had found out that Gregory was
engaged to Tatiana ard once she Jared
upon his feelings By asking about his
engagement and speaking rather scorn-
fully of his betrothed as young inno-
cent. But quickly changing her manner
she soothed her slave to rest again.
One night she insisted upon Litvinof
attending one of her receptions. 1t was
a thoroughly society affair, thor
oughly insane. She told him she wanted
him to see into what world she had
sunk

The Mysterious Rouuuet

But it was only letter from his father
telling him that his wheat would not
bring any price at all: that his coachman
had been bewitched and would have died
had he not had him exercised. and va
rious other domestic news.
Gregory, as he read the letter, was sud
denly conscious of a strong perfume He
locked about and saw on the window
sill bouquet of heliotropes. Who had
sent il?
He rang the bell and questioned the
servant who answered the summons. 1t
had been left for monsieur by a lady.
Describe the lady. She was tall, ele-
gantly dressed and wore a short Vei. That
was all the servant could tell surely, but
vertured the surmise that she was a
Russian countess.
''Why?" asked Gregory.
because she gave me . forns," was
the sufficient answer
Litvinof was puzzled. He tried to dis
miss the matter from his mind. But
somehow the odor of the heliotrope opened
a train of "Reminiscences. He was back
again in his youth in Moscow back to
the year 1850

Recalled by a Perfume

1t was a long, long time now since he
had thought Of Aer at all, but the odor
of heliotrope in the room there at Ba-
den brought her back to him again.
Then he remembered that heliotrope
was Irene's favorite perfume, the flower
her favorte flower. In the old days there
had always been lingering a suggestion
of helotrope about her.
Gregory slept soundly that night and
was up with the sun the next morning.
Taking his hat and stick, he started
for a walk.
After three hours wandering through
the forests he lay down on bank and
had a nap. Then. feeling hungry, he
climbed up to the old castle, where there
was an outdoor cafe, and ordered break
fast
Presently arrived carriage from which
descended a party of Russians. ladies and
gentlemen. 1t could be seen at a glance
that there were of the ra-fashionable

going when, as he passed one of the lit
tie tables at which the new arrivals
sat, voice said: Gregory, do you not
know me?'

A Mysterious Stranger

There was a mysterious child a girl OF
about 7, who was living with Potoughine
at his hotel in an obscure street and
who, he said, was the daughter of a
dead friend of his-he was her guard
ian. Twice Gregory saw the child at the
hotel of Nine. Ratmirof. She was a
strange. odd looking child. with Kalmuck
features.
When Gregory asked Irene how she
had become acquainted with Potoughine
she said with a sigh:
20, | met him under distressing cir
cumstances OF course you have. heard
of Eliza Belsky? No? I forget you are
not of our hollow world. Well, it was a
most shocking affair, but Potoughine be-
haved nobly to her"
Then she changed the subject.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-26

All the evening her attentions to
Gregory were marked. When the guests
had gone the count said;

tance-what is his name-Litvinof? |

ing man of intelligence"

bedroom. She held the lamp up to the
face of the count and examined his fea-

look.

room he heard her say, as if to herself,

She Must See Baden

So. proposing at Drenden, Gregory went
back to his hotel at Carlsruhe, packed
up his belongings and came on to Baden,
there to await Tatiana and her aunt.
Like most people who inveigh so loudly
against the "aristocracy." capitoline was
secretly enraptured with the thought of
mil Cling with the throng of titled people
who, in those days, resorted to Baden,
and being the sworn foe of frivolty and
luxury. she could hardly wait to be in
the midst of those abhorred pleasures at

take of those forbidden fruits; perish the
