Deadly Encounter.

Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus

and friends, but on one occasion they
had serious falling out. AS gathered

his young daughters new English gov

the child to mend old. ragged clothes
to give to the poor. "Do you consider
that good?" demanded Tolstoy. 81 GER

you not to say that" exclaimed Tur-
genev, hotly. "Why should 1 not say
what am convinced is true?" retorted
Tolstoy. "If you say that again 1 will

with rage, and rushed from the room.
