hand on the coverings over his leg.
1T gets better" said he. 1T gets

Then melancholy showed in his rug
ged face. and he watched night deepen
over the isles, the golden night of st.
Petersburg. It was not quite yet the
time of year for what they call golden
nights there, the white nights" nights
which never deepen to darkness, but
they were already beautiful in their
soft clarity, caressed here by the Gulf
of Finland. almost at the same time
by the last and the first rays of the
sun. by twilight and dawn.
From the height of the veranda one
of the most beautiful bits of the isles
lay in view. and the hour was SO love-
ly that its charm thrilled these people.
Of whom several, as Thaddeus, were
still close to nature. 1t was he, first,
who called to Natacha:
"Natacha! Natacha! Sing us your
| Soir des Hes.
Natacha's voice foated out upon the
peace of the islands under the dim
arched sky, light and clear as a night
| rose and the guzla of Boris accompa-
MED it. Natacha sang:
This is the night Of the 1ses--at the north
of the world.
| The sky presses in Its stainless arms the
| bosom Of earth.
Night kisses the rose that dawn gave to the
| twilight.
| And the night air is sweet and fresh across
| the shivering gulf,
Like the breath Of young girls from the
world still farther north.
| Beneath the two lighted horizons, sinking
| and rising at once.
The sun rolls rebounding from the gods at
the north of the world.
| In this moment beloved, when in the clear
| shadows of this rose-stained evening
am here alone with you.
Respond, respond with heart less timid
to the holy. accustomed cry of Good
evening
All, how Boris Nikolaivitch and Mi
chael Korsakoff watched her as she
sang! Truly. no one ever can guess
the anger or the love that broods in
Slavic heart under soldiers tunic,
whether the soldier wisely plays at the
guzla, as the correct Boris, or merely
lounges, twirling his mustache with his
manicured and perfumed fingers, like
Michael. the Indifferent.
Natacha ceased singing, but all
seemed to be listening to her still-the
convivial group on the terrace appeared
to be held in charmed attention, and
the porcelain statuettes of men on the
lawn, according to the mode of the lies,
seemed to lift on their short legs the
better to hear pass the signing har-
mony of Natacha in the rose nights at
the north of the world.
Meanwhile Matrena wandered through
the house from cellar to attic, watch
ing over her husband like a dog on
guard, ready to bite, to throw itself in
the way of danger, to receive blows,
to die, for it's master-and hunting for

He stammered a little toward the

that it was little inconsistent to ex-
press such opinions seeing what he
had done with the guard over the
General.
"Ah," cried Athanase Georgevitch, in
