Russian Peasants Farm State Land.

In the Petersburg district of Russia scientific agriculture is practically un- known, declares a writer in Country Life. The summer is too short to al low of the successful raising of crops, &nd tillage is confined to the lands belonging to the village communities. IE Russia practically every village is state owned-that fs, under the con troi of no landlord. and every village has within it's bounds certain acre age of common land The inhabitants of the village have eaca one a fixed amount of this land assigned to them; but, to avoid favoritism, a peasant does not farm the same strfy two sea sons running, but rotation is prac ticed whereby each member of the village in tme goes over the whSle land of the community. The birth of a son is a soHxce of great joy OF the part of a Russian peasant, for on sach an occasion an extra grant of land is given to him. In the north of Russia wheat Is never grown. Oats are pro. duced. but rye is the staple crop. and it is from this cereal that the peasant makes bis bread.

Daughter" said Blake, almost tim idly, they've all gone. None of them will tell. But there's one thing we've got to know. I'm with you, no matter what you've done. But-but-tell me --that-that this was all over and and done with-before you married Mark"
 "Fatheri"
 The Woman faced him in dry-eyed horror. Every trace of weeping was scared away by the flame of sudden indignation. And, at the sight, Jim Blake gave a great worthless cry and gathered her into his arms as though she were baby.
 "Oh. my little grill" he choked. Dads own, own little grill We've been tearing your poor heart to pieces and your old father was the bitterest against you. It's all right, I tell you, girl. It's all right Dadll see you through. You shan't be bothered. There. there! Oh. don't cry like that, darling. Dont!"
 His voice grew husky. Leaving her abruptly. he crossed to Robertson.
 Mark" he faltered, avoiding his son-in-law's eye, you promised to pro- tect her. This is the time to do 1t. It was for better, for worse.' If that VOW is any good at all, it's . good for worse as. for better Mark-be gentle with her, boy"
 He seemed about to say more. But, lglancing furtively at Mark's set fchangeless face, he forebore.
 Slowly, with bent shoulders and dragging step Blake made his way to the big rooms farthest end. There, in the windows embrasure, out of ear shot, his back to the others, he halted.
 Drawing aside the curtains he glanced out into the night. The gloom of the sleeping city was below and around him. But, in one black mass, tiers upon tiers of garish lights glowed. There, iu the capitol, the Mullins bill was coming to a vote. There, Matthew Standish, freed by a miracle from the toifs that craftier men had woven about him, was win ming the victory which was to clear for him the pathway to the very sum- init of politica! power.
 But he found his subconscious self straying from the picture he was so ruthless1y drawing His mind would not fix itself on the lighted capitol and the wreck of his life-work; but crept over back into the dim room behind him. Even his tongue tricked him. For when he would have made 1t re- cite further the tale of his losses, it muttered brokenly:
 My own little girl! Dads own. own little grill"

CHAPTER xxIl.
The Hour eos Reckoning.

The Hour fof Reckoning.
 Mark Robertson and his wife, left alone, together, in the other end of the great library, faced the situation for which Grace had 50 long been pre- pairing and for which her frightened years of preparation had proved so useless.
 He knew. That was all. And mo word of hers could gloss over or make bearable the truth. Wherefore she spoke no word, but stood looking at him; taking in every detail of the stout figure and the strong common place face as though she wished to carry with her forever their memory.
 Mark strove for speech. But for the first time in his roughly aggressive ca- reer, suitable words were denied him. Alternately he longed to tell her in naked terms what she was and how utterly he despised her. Again. gush of self-pity urged him to reproach her for the wrecking of his ideals, the blasting of his happiness. Vanity coming part way to his aid, he framed and left unspoken--a curt sentence of farewell And, in the end, all he could say was:
 "Why didn't you tell nle7''
 It was not what he had intended to say. It was banal. It expressed none of the stark moods that seethed in him. Yet as she did not answer. he found himself asking once more:
 "Why didn't you tell mes'
 And now, unknown and unwished for, there crept into his bald question a note that was almost of entreaty And at the sound, the dumb devil that had locked Grace's lips departed.
 Tell you?" she echoed. @Oh, if you knew how I've wanted toi"
 Then"
 '1 didn't dare didn't dare"
 Truth and honor surely"
 Your love meant more to me than truth and honor. l sacrificed thesn to keep it. I would sacrifice them and everything else to get it back Is that shameless? Perhaps. The trSth usually is. If had told you, yep

 "Pm out of politics. My own game has broken me at last. I'm old. know it now. l never did till tonight I'm old and I want my children around me"
 'I'll tell Tom" she agreed, softened despite herself by the new suppliance in a voice that had never before been turned to the uses of entreaty. 'I'll tell him. I'm sure he'll come back to you when he understands. Good night i Mir Blake"
 There's another thing" he broke ] in roughly, staying her departure. "s thing that isn't easy to say" . "Then, why say it?"
 Because" he growled, Hike all things that aren't easy to say, it's 8 thing that's got to be said. Miss Ket ' ly. hasn't tonight pretty nearly squared the old debt between you and mel You and yours have suffered lot al my hands. But, after what's hap pened here this evening. I guess you'll admit as far as suffering goes, you haven't got much on me. Haven't l paid? Won't you say we're square?' ! "We're-we're square, Mir. Blake,' she returned in tone she could not make wholly steady nor impersonal And" pursued Blake, "and-Tom?"
 That's different, too," she faltered "I-"
 i The jangle of the telephone inter rupted her. Blake. who was beside the desk. picked up the instrument : Hello" he called into the transmit ter. "Ye-yes--she's here. Who wants her? Oh! Yes, put him on this wire.' fs
 4. He lowered the telephone.
 Some one to speak to you. Miss Kelly" he reported.
 Mechanically. she took up the re ceiver, and, by long habit, her voice took it's professional drone: e.
 "Hello!" she called. Then. turing on Blake. in surprise she cried:
 l "Why. it's Tom!"
 "Yes," drawled Blake. So I gath cred from the name. I'm glad. Glad clear down to the ground. For both of you. Tell him so. won't youf"
 
 Tho winter sun was putting It's way over the eastern skyline. Tho dawn was bitter-cold, mercilessiy clear.
 And into the track of the first white glittering rays walked tired man. A man who that night had won a mighty victory A victory that foreshadowed the richest gifts his country could be stow. Before him the future stretched bright as that winters dawn. As dag zlingly brilliant, and as cold and stark. ly empty.
 h Matthew Standish's ears, as he returned toward the loveless abode that he hated to call home, still rang echoes of the pandemonium that had broken loose in the house when the Mullins bill had gone down to defeat. His arms still ached from the pump handling 8 host of shrieking admirers had forced on him.
 There is only one lasting victory" he muttered 6isjointedly to himself, as he moved onward in the dazzling ice-cold trail of light. "At the last, it won't be the worlds applause that the worlds great men will remember. It will be the love smile of a Woman. And-I shall never have known that memory. What is the rest worthf" (THE END)

 Bad Men" in Oklahoma pennenrrur,
 Fight Way to Open.
 McAlester, Okla.-Seven men were shot to death and three persons were wounded when three eonyicts attempt ed to escape from the State Peniten- tiary and were slain by guards. One of the men killed by the convicts in their mad dash for liberty was John R. Thomas, of Muskogee, form erly United States District Judge and once a Congressman from Illinois,
 Despite the eommotion caused by the three men in trying to shoot down every one who came iii their way, no general attempt was made by other conpicts to join in the delivery.
 The desperadoes had snatched the keys from the turnkey, John Martin. whom they had wounded, and had shel- tered themselves through the prison yard by holding Mary Foster, a tele- phone girl, in front of them as a shield until the only shot fired by guards in the yard hit the girl in the leg.
 Outside the gate the men seized and dashed away. only to be shot to death by pursuing guards. One of the cOnvicts fought to the last, their horse lashed to a gallop by the other two They fired their last cartridges at the uncoming guards, who poured in a deadly fire from horseback. Even af ter the three escaped men were lying dead in the bottom of the buggy the frightened horse of the Warden dash ed onward until felled by a bullet from the pursuers.
 The dead, in addition to ex-Judge Thomas, are H. H. Drover, superin tendent Bertillion department; Patrick Oates, assistant deputy warden; F. c Godfrey, guard; China Reed, under sentence of two years for larceny Tom Lane.

Success which attended the first

other evening of Victrola music, and it

night, and to assure all attending that
the best and latest selections issued

made with the cooperation of the

sufficient to attract a crowd.
The management of the delightful

afforded additional opportunities of
securing seat and thus enjoying the
