TRICK RESULTS
In JAIL TERMS
Perpeetrator of Plot to Scare
Russian Peasants Given
Long Sentences

MlNSK, July 16-An amazing
trial illustrating the ignorance and
superstition of the Russian peasant
ry recently was held in this district.
In order to increase the income of
the village priest and to strengthen
his authority over the local peasan-
try group of village Pensioners
resolved to brighten the peasantry
with the pretense of a "reaI devil
in the village.
A village boy was dressed up to
resemble a devil. During the night
he went to the village jewellers TO
brighten them. He was instructed
to carry out secretly slight damages
to peasants property. This went
on for several months, and the ig-
norant peasants took it all in ear
nest, as a penalty for their sins.
They flocked to the church, induced
the priest to hold special services
and organized common prayers and
religious professions.
A special commission had to be
sent from the district town to in

 The man called "Steve" hesitated for an instant. Then he turned his head.
 Beat it, Tex" he said curtly. Meet me at the usual place to- night"
 The wtzened old chap scuttled away along the path We had just come, and when he was out of sight l nodded toward the wall of ever- green. behind which l knew Lee Chow was tenseIy watching me.
 Tt is all right" l said softly. T do not think there will be any more trouble"
 AS silently as he had seized the man so did the grasp of the Chinese relax, and his arm was drawn back into the thicket Steve" began to rub the wrist that had been encir- cled with Lee Chow's iron grip. There was distinct respect in his eyes now but his voice was raucous and for the first time there was the ring of truth in his words.
 "I'll tell the world you're some stage manager, Mrs. Dicky," he be- gan with an attempt at his former lightness of manner. Then his eyes narrowed But look here, my girl. I'm slippin' you the truth about this. If you folks my folks - don't help me out, I've got to turn crook - again. Ask my lady mother what mean and a hundred ought to be a cheap enough price"

 And while I'm getting 'enp to- gether I suppose l can starve to death and sleep side of the road and run the chance of being sent up. No, thank you. if I have to go, I'll have the game as well as the name"
 There was real fear real misery in his face, and I took swift reso- lution

A week from today at this time, you will come down to our home near Bridgehampton with the proof that you are what you pretend to be. Then I shall decide what can be done for you."

He stood there, never hearing the dinner gong. The den was filling up with smoke and fog. The fog outside grew denser. He was lost fin himself until the door opened. and his aunt burst In protesting.
 Alden, dear! Are you ill? Your guests! Oh dear! That horrid to- bacco again! Why. Alden, this is shame, upon my word it is! You positively reek, reek of that beastly old pipe. Come down, do. But you must really use some perfume to- night. Here"
 Alden stole away at the first op- portunity and reveled In the dank fog along with his pipe, defying auntie and all her kind.
 Like many another scion of good family, Alden had gone to sea upon leaving school When the lordly clipper ship reigned on the sea. sons of rich fathers as well as sons of tradesmen served an apprenticeship in sail simply for the experience. Few stayed on in the profession. Many never made more than the first voyage. Alden had completed his four years, because he loved the life. He had been good sailor, too. He had secured his second mates ticket at first attempt. And since there was no hurry for him to settle down at home, and since he would not have to worry about earning a living, he stayed on in the grand old Patriarch until he passed to first mate and then master in turn. Then, inheriting his fortune, he had quit the sea. Quit it professionally, that is. He had built another Patri- arch for his pleasuring; smart brigantine yacht capable of cruis- ing the world around; and he chose to command her himself.

 T don't know, Jack" I said, why everybody seems to thipk that l. shall be unhappy if my baby is not a daughter. I think brothers are perfectly lovely"
 Jack seemed to want to change the subject. Your mother must think l am a brute, Leslie" he said.
 NO, dear, mother has just been talking about you and I had de- eided to send to you tonight. So you see we had the same thought at the same time"
 You darling," said my husband and he closed my eyes with kisses. Jack" I said, T found out many things todaytabout men and women, age and youth love and hate, pride and humility and I tell you that l think that to a woman like my dear mother age has many compensa- tions."

genuine smile of amusement. Those horses looked as If nothing short of a cataclysm could startle them, so fat they were, and so staid. He realized how tremendously he must have slammed the gate to startle them, for they rcgained their stead mess in a moment, trotting placidly on. It was one of the two occupants whose tranquility was less easily restored, and the innocent offender raised his eyebrows surprisedly at the turbulent flood of deep water explosives that issued from some where in the thick gray beard of a sturdy copper bronzed gentleman of nautical aspect. Alden was about to raise his voice in apology; he raised his cap instead, and stared with sharper interest at the other occu- pant of the chaise, the driver, who. her horses again in hand, turned a fair face full of naughty reproof upon the cause of her brief discom- fort Then the equipage turned the corner of the road, and Alden went in.
 As he bathed and lounged. smok ing a rich old briar pipe, relic of his prentice days at sea, he scowled impatiently at the thought of the evening before him. His duty to So- ciety ordered that he play host to a ponderous dinner party.
 "There'll be Patty. all set to flirt, he growled. Caesar! How I hate that perfume she trenches herself with. BiIgc! Phah. She'll call me Alden. dear, Oh Lord! And that cute little trick, Celeste.

 1 The youthful cynic knocked out his pipe. refilled it, and flung him. self into a deep lounge cbair to smoke another round before his man came to fix him up for the evening. The second pipe always made him see gleam of sunshine behind the stormiest of horizons. There flashed before him now the thought of an indignant feminine face. the prettily angry face of the girl who drove those two fat, lazy horses. He smiled more brightly. That face hads only flashed across his vision for an instant, yet he re-

CHAPTER I Unrest

CHAPTER
 Unrest
 Alden Talbot Drake possessed characteristics which fitted all three of his names. But chiefly he was restless. The urge. which had taken him, to sea on leaving school, had never left him, He had left the sea. That, he now believed. had been a mistake. The sea was in his blood. Even where his horizon was bound- ed by terraces of dull brick and sooty trees. his nostrills ever quiv- cred questioningly whenever the wind blew from the eastward. To the eastward lay the muddy river, and the docks. and the ships: ships and the ports where Romance still beckoned to bold youth.
 He stood awhile at the gateway of his house, nostrills all a-tingle, his black eyes a-glitter, a discordant grin of discontent marring the good hnmored lines of his strong mouth. He had come from golf, and there was trace of contempt in the fashion of his unslinging and drop ping the bag of clubs he carried. \ The big house which he called home was one of those stately old places which always seem to have had owners provided for them as they were built, stone by stone, timber by timber; owners to fit their dignity growing, maturing as the years mellowed them. And AL den Drake had the looks and the dignity to fit smoothly into the groove worn so unbrokenly by his immediate forbears. Trouble was, they failed to fit him. In externals he was part of the picture. His face was brown and clean shaven, his hands were brown and well kept, his golf toggery was brown and of fine tailoring; and all appeared in exquisite harmony with the fine old house within the gate. But there was that glitter in his eyes, that vague something about his mouth which jared the harmony.
 He turned in and flung the gate to with a harsh iroa clang which startled a pair of fat horses just trotting past dragging an old-fash- toned low chaise. The discontent fled from his face, giving way to

 There was a great big front door with great iron bolts on it and the wooden hobby horse knocked upon the door with his wooden head. In a moment. the great door swung open and a giant lady appeared.

 ''We are Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy and the wooden hobby horse and this is your little boy, Jimmy Giant" Raggedy Ann said.
 Dear me! It surely cannot be my little boy, Jimmy because l haven't any little boy at all! My boy is very large, littlf boy. giant boy"
 Really, I am Jimmy Giant" the little giant boy told his mama. But when I helped the Raggedys escape from Selfish Samuel and his wicked aunt, the witch, she worked her magic on me and made me grow this small." And the little giant boy began to cry.
 Then the giant lady picked him up and looked at him, and she knew then that indeed, it was her own little giant boy"
 Come inside" she said, And just as soon as your daddy giant comes home, will send him right 10 Selfish Samuels house and have him punish the witch"
 So she put Jimmy giant and the Raggedys upon the table and let them nibble on a great big dough- nut.
