Even the existing trade route to In
dia via the Suez canal would be en-
dangered by Russia's possession Of Con-
~stantinople, for although today Great
Britain and Russia are allies IL by no
means follows that they will always be
friends. Indeed, Sir Edward Grey and
those intrusted with the direction Of
the foreign policies Of the British EN-
pire would be wanting both in patriot
ism and in farsighted craftsmanship
were they to neglect TO take into con-
sideration the possibility OF Russia and
England drifting apart and even re-
vertlng to their oldtime enmity.
There are other reasons, too, which
render not only England, but also
France, reluctant to see their Russian
ally established in possession of Con-
stantinople. Both powers have mil
lions upon millions Of Moslems subject
to their rule. The followers of Islam
who accord their allegiance TO the
British crown in India and in Africa
may be numbered at near 10000, 900.
Rightly or wrongly. Russia has al
ways been regarded by Mohammedans
in all parts Of the world as the chief
foe Of Islam, largely in consequence
Of her numerous wars against the
Turks and her well known determine
ton to possess herself of Constantine
pie.
Were England and France to lend
fharnaoIva1 IN rho ctah1fohrnant Of
Russia at STEAMBOAT and to the substi-
tuition OF the Muscovite cross in the
place of the crescent on the great dome
Of the mosque of st. Sophia they
would incur the bitter resentment of
all their Moslem lieges, a resentment
source not merely Of weakness, but
even of grave peril to their respective
nations. Moreover. neither of these
powers is particularly anxious to ex-
change the military terrorism which
Germany has for the last forty years
the domination of the latter by Russia.
1t must be borne in mind that there
are other nations which are equally
eager to secure possession of Constan-
tinople and consider that they have
quite as great a right thereto as Rus
STA. To begin with. there are the
Greeks. who yearn for the realization
of their national dream Of the restora-
ton Of the ancient Grecian or Byzan-
tine empire, with its capital. not at
Athens. but at Co%nstantinople. They
regard themselves as the lawful heirs
of the Greek dynasties that reigned at
Constantinople before it fell into the
hands of the Turks In the fifteenth
century, and have a popular prophecy.
according to which the city Is to pass
into their hands when they are ruled
by a Constantine and a Sophia. which
are the names of their present king
and queen. The Greeks at CONSTANT
Dople form the richest. largest and
most important element of the popula-
ton. who have contributed In no small
measure to its prosperity and develop
ment. and who therefore look upon the
city as to a great extent their property.
Then there are the Bulgarians, who
are also bent on getting Constantinople.
In fact King Ferdinand. at the outset
Of the first of the Balkan wars, made
no secret of his ambition to be crowned
in the ancient Bascilica of st. Sophia
restored to Christian worship-as the
emperor OF Greater Bulgaria.

dome Of st. Sophia was on the eve OF
realization.
Constantinople is TO the Russian
church and TO its adherents what Rome
is to the Roman Catholics, and for the
last 200 years in particular it has con-
stituted the principal object Of all Mus
covite religious and political aspira-
lions. Without attaching any credence
whatsoever to the purely mythical tes-
lament Of Peter the Great about Con-
stantipole. a document which was new
er heard of until the beginning of the
nineteenth century, nearly a hundred
years after his death, and which is a
forgery concocted by the Pole Sokol-
Mkt and the Frenchman Lesueur at
the instance Of the first Emperor Ma
poleon. there is no doubt that Car Pc
ter had set his heart upon the acquisi-
ton Of Constantinople and had i'm
pressed this idea upon his people as a
national ideal.
Catherine the Great was equally bent
upon transferring the capital Of her
empire from P%etrograd and from Mos
cow to Stamboul, and when Napole-
on /. and Alexander /. planned togeth-
er their sharing the dominion Of the
world the Muscovite ruler insisted upon
the possession of Constantinople on po-
litical and religious grounds, declaring
it to be 1.-The key to the door of Rus
sia." Napoleon would not and could
not consent to this, giving utterance
to his celebrated and historic phrase:
mo. The possession of Constantinople
by Russia would mean the mastery Of
the world"
1t was this question about Constan-
tinople that caused the break Of the
friendship Of the two emperors and an
enmity which resulted in N~apoleon's
disastrous invasion of Russia with his
grande armee, in the destruction of
Moscow by fire, in the coalition of Rus

den and Austria against France, in the

While 1t is an exaggeratiOn, at any
rate In these modern times, to ascribe

Ethics of the Oath.

Constantly from the times of ear.
Hest intelligent antiquity swearing has
been known to man. Throughout the
ages the supernatural has been called
upon by the invocations and impreca-
tions of the oath
The practice of swearing is now so
common In all civilized communities,
that the probable volume of daily
oaths must be intellectually large.
Prodigious as is the multiplicity Of
documentary oaths, the more serious
oaths taken In the carrying on Of judi
cial proceedings, and the official oaths,
are quite as innumerable.
The oath is defiled, declares Charles
j. Martell, in the May Case and Com
ment: First, when it is carelessly TAX
en- or taken upon an occasion of un.
1ustifiable insignificance; second,
when a person sworn contravenes the
truth by perjury; and. third, when
ever an officeholder under oath com.
mits a reprehensible official act or
omits to perform that which his duty
imposes.

Stepan had never feared Tozan, not
even after he won Sophie Katlok from
him. Tozan had come to the mine two
years before. a tramp, and Stepan,
who pitied him, had given him a job.
Afterward Tozan fell in love with
Sophie, old Katlok's daughter, and
Stepan won her away. Still, girl has
the right to change her mind, and
Sophie's decision seemed to Stepan no
reason why his protege and friend
should cast black looks at him
Therefore when Tozan came to Ste-
pans bedside at night and told him
old Katlok wanted him, in his house at
the bottom of Long Shaft, half mile
deep or more, Stepan accompanied To-
ian without hesitation. The lead In
Long Shaft had been cleaned out,
the shaft had been abandoned, and
old Katlok's house was to be disman-
tied. The old Bohemian, who had

But the four of them-Katlok, So
phie and the two boarders, Stepan and
Tozan, had lived in too close intimacy
down In the mine. That was why
Tozan lost his sense of proportion,
why he had been brooding over
Stepans theft, as he termed it.
Stepan and Tozan had still a few
days work to do at the bottom of
Long Shaft, cleaning up the debris,
oiling the machinery, collecting har-
ness, ETC.; but already the boarding
house had been broken up. Stepan
and Tozan had each found other quar-
ters, though Katlok hoped to secure
the two men again when his new
house was erected
Stepan accompanied Tozan without
hesitation, but he stopped at the mine
head and looked at him inquiringly
Il thought Katlok had left the
house." he said

They entered the cage and descend

they emerged at the bottom of Long

toward the house. Stepan turned too,
and Immediately Tozan's loaded cane
descended with calculated force upon
the back of his head. flinging him to
the ground, stunned
When he opened his eyes, Stepan
was lying upon the ground in front Of
Katlok's house, securely bound with
ropes. His head ached and throbbed
madly from the blow. Over him stood
Tozan. He was watching him in
tently.
Where is Sophie?" groaned Stepan.
Tozan laughed and pointed behind
him. AS Stepan turned his head
mufaed, choking cry reached his ears
He managed to twist far enough to see
Sophie, gag over her mouth, strapped
to a chair against the shaft Of the ele-
vator.
