How Peter Alexief Was
Saved From Siberia
By PAUL vRoNsKY

In a northern province of Russia
there lived a peasant whose daughter,
Anna, was a very pretty girl. Peter
Alexief, a young farmer, wooed and
won her, and it seemed that a happy
future vas before the young couple.
That was before the revolution which
deposed the Gar Nicholas, and the
government was keeping a sharp eye
on all persons who were suspected of
plotting against 1t. A large force of
secret police-better named spies-was
scattered all over Russia.
Not only those who were really so
minded reported to the minister of the
interior at the capital, but If one per-
son had a private grudge against an
other there was liability that he would
take revenge by reporting him to the
police as a revolutionist, or what was
then called a nihilist. This was also
true of the spies themselves. If a spy
chose to condemn a person he wished
to get rid of, that person was taken
away and nothing was heard Of him
afterward. He was buried In the con
vict mines of Kara.
While Peter and Anna were making
their preparations to be married there
came to the province where they lived
a man whose name was Ivan Ivano-
Witch. He did not look like a Russian,
for he was dark complexioned, while the
people among whom he had come had
light skins and hair. Ivan had come
from the Crimea, which is a southern
province, where what is called the Med
i~terranean race is prevalent. This race
Is of southern blood and used TO q hot
climate.
Ivan had no visible occupation and
was known to be a government spy.
He met Anna at a dance in a barn and
conceived a passion for her. Anna,
knowing him to be a spy, dreaded him,
but dared not refuse to dance with
him, fearing that he would take re-
venge upon her.
Ivan, becoming o and more enam-
ored of Anna, began to look about for
some act of Peters which could be
used as evidence against him This
was shortly before the revolution
whereby the people of Russia wrested
a constitution from the car, and Pc
ter's neighbors were beginning to plan
for resistance against the governments
despotism. Peter got wind Of the In
quiries Of Ivan and told his friends
that he feared the spy was planning
to get him out of the way that he
might possess himself Of Anna.
Meanwhile Anna, not daring to de-
cline the attentions Of Ivan, accepted
Invitations from him. One evening the
An
