BETEAYED BY LOVE.
Kaffsky was a born genius, destined in
time to soar to the dizzy heights of a pro
fessional chair. o at least said his profess
ors at the University of St. Petersburg.
We students likewise held hiin in awe and
hedged him around with reverential ostra
cism;' X .. . ,
That same Kaffsky used to squander his
days and nights over mathematics and
chemistry and half a dozen kindred sci
ences, as if lifo were to last for eternity.
We did not believe in a man having so
many irons in the Are, and we limited our
own efforts to the accomplishment of one
single task the regeneration of mankind
as a preliminary step to the remodeling of
Russian society.
We had weighed Kaffsky in the political
balance the only one in vogue at Russian
universities ten years ago and had found
mm saaiy wanting.
He was a member of none of the three
churches, outside of which there is no sal
vation that of the sworn conspirators,
who edited a forbidden political journal,
Land and Liberty, hatched plots against
tho state and sometimes helped to carry
them out; that of unsworn conspirators,
from whom the former were usually re
cruited, and the bulk of students who
sympathized with everything and every
body who embarrassed the government. !
And to crown all, we had just heard of
his Impending marriage. "A nice time to
be thinking of marrying and feathering
nis nest, we remarked to each other,-
-jus wneu me pillars or the social edifice
are giving way and we are doing our best
to pull them down, in order to build up
something better !" .i
vwhen the name of the future bride was
mentioned, those among us who knew her
were staggered a bit. Anna Pavlona
Smirnova was not a Venus. But if she
had much less beauty than her photograph
which is a common failing of women
she had a good deal more wit, which is
not by any means so common. j
Although apparently young enough to
be his daughter, Anna Pavlona was Kaff
sky's senior by five or six -years, and to
make matters still more mixed she was a
red radical at heart. " "N
Formerly her democratic views had got
her into hot water with the authorities,
and it was not without considerable diffi
culty that she had obtainod her present
position as teacher in a .girls' gymnasy
which enabled her to live in modest com
petency with her widowed mother.
The police, we knew, had twice or thrive
made elaborate inquiries about Kaffsky,'
had noted his comings in and goings out
and had set a watch upon his actions.
Platoff, when arrested a week ago, chanced
to have Kaffsky's card in his pocket and
was subjected to a long secret cross ex
amination about his dealings with him.
"As well suspect the stone sphinxes at
the Nikolai bridgo as that piece of stuok
up selfishness called Kaffsky," exclaimed
Lavroff. j
"There must be some reason for the sus
picion," cried Brodsky. "Thore's always
fire where there's smoke, and as we know
there's no fire here then there cannot pos
sibly be any real smoke. It's a matter of
smoked glass spectacles."
This remark struck us all as the acme
-of cleverness. It was warmly applauded.
"Well, but who can have smoked the gov
ernment's spectacles!"' somebody asked.
"Boorman! Boorman! He alone has
a grudge against Kaffsky, " cried half a
dozen voices.
Now, none of us had a doubt that he
was the Judas Iscarlot. His hangdog ex
pression, his slouching gait, his furtive
glance and stammering deviltry pro?
claimed the nature of the spirit that lived
and worked within him.
The present case strengthened our sus
picion, for Boorman and Kaffsky had
quarreled years before.
Summer vacations were at hand. The
last of tho examinations would take plaee
in ten days, and then we should disperse
over the length and breadth of the empire,
many of us never to return again. t
Suddenly we were stunned and stupefied
by a bolt from tho blue in the shape of a
rumor that Kaffsky had been arrested.
He and Alexeieff had gone to the theater
the night before. They had walked home
together and made an appointment for the
morrow at the university, but at about a
a. m. Kaffsky had been spirited away and
was now in the secret wing of the; Lithu
anian fortress. f .
A written request was presenteftby some
of the professors, who were, beside them
selves with indignation, that Kaffsky
should bo released on bail, just to finish
his examinations and take his-degree, for
they knew very woll it was all a misunder
standing. But to our utmost astonishment their re
quest was refused, and Kaffsky was re
moved from the Liithuaman iortress oniy
to be immured in the more terrible fortress
of Peter and Paul. .
The excitement caused by the arrest was
assuming dangerous proportions. Nobody
had Cared a rap for Kaffsky a week before,
and he was already a most popular hero
now.
.Perhaps it was hatred for the heartless
informer who had also been arrested no
doubt to save him from being lynched
and sympathy for Anna Pavlona, whose
womanly feelings had got tho better of her
nhilnponhv. She had completely broken
down.
She had been taken to her bed, had re
fused all food, had forwarded petition aft
er TiRtition to the minister of the interior,
and when It became clear that she might
just as well be sowing salt on the seashore
her mind eaVe way. The doctors sent her
mother and herself in' post haste to the
Crimea.
In October a few of us met in St. Pe
tersburg once more, but only a few. The
police had made a tremendous haul among ;
the students tne uay ine university uiumju
Kossion. and many were now in their dls-
tnnr. Tiat.lvo villaces. exDelled from the
university, others in prison, others again
on the road to biberia.
Kaffskv. we learned, was among the lat
ter, .condemned to the mines as a danger
ous conspirator, in spite of the intercession
of professors. Anna Pavlona was dead,
according to othersbut it came to pretty
miir.h tha same thine in tho end.
I had heard of many evil things done by
diabolical informers, but this was the most
crying injustice I had ever actually wit
rtoecnH And when talkinffwlth a friend

T tnld him RO.
ncfnnndpd at what I told him
and asked me to draw up an account of
K-affskv's case in writing. ie wouia see,

I had no difficulty in obtaining precise
particulars. I discovered even the name

still there was no answer. . ; .

"TjB." T rprdind
"Very" well, thfiti. if vnn will nnma how
n wo or. three days I will annnlv von
with a most interesting postscript."
And he did.
His statement was based on offioial doc
uments, and this Is the gist of it:
V When the terrorist movement was at
Its height, the leaders were invisible and
ubiquitous. We suspected that they were
In the . university, but that war only a
guess. Once or jtwlce Kaffsky appeared to
be in the movement, but we had no proof
and could get none. It then occurred to
General O. of the secret department to em
ploy a spy who had never played the part
of a detective before." ,
"I know. You mean the scoundrelly
Informer, Boorman," I broke In.
"Boormanf Boorman? Was he? ; Oh,
of course he was. Yes. No; Boorman was
not the deteotive. Boorman, I see, was
nearly as dangerous as Kaffsky. He was
Kaffsky's right hand man, and he got the
same punishment." . 1
This announcement took my breath
away, but it only deepened the mystery.
"Two thousand three hundred rubles
was what It all cost, and dirt cheap, too, "
he went on.
"You mean the detective's reward?" I
asked. -
"Yes; that, of course, was over and
above her regular salary, which was 60
rubles a month. It was the only clever
stroke of business she ever did. " v
"She?" I repeated. ''Was it a woman,
then?"
"Oh, yes. Didn't I tell you?' And a
woman with the making of a saint in her
too. Hal ha! ha! She is now a God fear
ing seotarian a pietist of some kind."
"Well," I remarked, "she would need a
good long course of penance, were it only
to atone for the fate of poor Anna Pavlona,
whose life she snuffed out. "
"Hal ha! ha!" he laughed till the big
tears rolled down his furrowed cheeks.
"Why, hang it, man, Anna Pavlona was
herself the detective. But that was the
only clever thing she ever did. She soon
after left the service, found salvation, as
they term it, in some obscure sect and is a
pious bigot now." London Telegraph. '
WHITE HOUSE FLOWERPOTS.
Where They Come From and How Ibey
Are Made.
"From 8,000 to 1Q.000 new pots
are required every year for use in
the White House conservatories,"
said Head Gardener Pfister. "This
represents the annual loss by decay
and breakage. The average flower
pot lasts three or four years. Of the
number I have mentioned about one-
third are little 'thumb pots' two
inches in diameter. They are used
for newly propagated plants of all
sorts. In spring we require from
35,000 to 40,000 of these baby pots
to hold the plants which we have
freshly reared for the beds in the
grounds of the executive mansion. -
"Flowerpots are made everywhere,
you might say. Perhaps the great
est quantities of them are now man
ufactured in Boston and Philadel-
phia.Mrom which cities immense
numbers of them ard shipped to oth-
er points. vFlowerpots are of two
kinds machine made and hand
made. The latter, turned out by the
potter's wheel, are the most durable
and most expensive. Until recently
there were no standard sizes in pots,
but about four years ago the Society
of American Florists adopted regu
lations on the subject, so that pot-v
makers are now obliged to conform
to those rules, and a pot made in
Boston of a given size is precisely
like a pot of the same size made in
any other city. Formerly every pot
ter had his own standards of size,
and a 3 1-2 inch pot of one manufac
turer might be equal in capacity to a
4 inch pot of another make.
"The new standards require that
a 2 men pot snail De exactly two
inches deep and two inches wide at
the top. In all sizes of flowerpots
the depth and diameter at the top
must be equal. The regulations cover
even the thickness of the rims. Flo
rists demand that their pots shall
have rims in order that they may bo
lifted and moved about more easily.
Pots without rims are much more
apt to slip from the hand, and thus
the important item of breakage is
increased Another point worth men
tioning is that pots of the same size
may be arranged with greater regu
larity and accordingly with more
convenience on the benches. They
look better so too.
"The small pots, made in molds,
from two to four inches, cost from
$3 to $8. 50 per 1,000. Handmade pots
of larger sizes, from five to sixteen
inches, cost all the way from $13 per
L,000 to $55 per 100. The big 16 inch
pots, which cost 55 cents apiece, are
for large palms ana other big plants.
Some very fine pots are made m the
neighborhood of Washington. At
Terra Cotta are great beds of beauti
ful clay, which furnish material not
only for pots, but also for first rate
sewer pipes. Washington Star.
.'Imaginative Autobiographies.
Upon a time Mr. Joaquin Miller,
having for the moment nothing to
occupy him, wrote out a full and en
tirely new account of his life. Au
tobiographies were a favorite pas
time with him, and once in so often
a new one regularly appeared, dif
fering materially from its predeces
sor and introducing fresh and vivid
ly imaginative matter. This particu
lar life was in his best vein ana was
profusely illustrated. A copy was
given to one ot his aaugnters, witn
the suggestion that her father's life
should be studied and known, and
that her father was a man to be
loved and revered. The child looked
at tho volume.
She turned the pages until she
reached one especially fine picture.
Seated on a horse, careering wildly
across a desolate plain, was Joaquin,
clad in apseudo Indian costume,
with a broad sombrero "on his head
and very long hair ' floating far be
hind him . in the wind. The child
looked long and intently at the pic
ture, examined it critically, then
with a revereifce and adoration alto
gether undreamed of labeled it, "Jo

A Good Word For the Deacon.
We think it unfortunate for speakers
and writers to belittle deacons. As a class
the deacons are the best men we have, ex
cept the preachers, and many a deacon is
better than many a preacher. If the proor
ess of belittling deacons keeps on, no" good
man will be willing to be a deacon, and
then where will we be? The Chinese put
contempt upon soldiers, and when the
time came that China needed good soldiers
she did not have them. She reaped as she
had sown. All deacons are not what tney
should be, and neither are theological pro
fessors, but we honor the Baptist deacons.
They hold positions of grave responsibility

Tom Cha&.el' resolved to make a column
f Tewkesbury church. So, having secured
Omittance, he wandered about among tho
ombs. - .
"What wonderful men were these!"
bought Tom as he communed With him- .
iclf. "What a pity that they are all dead
,nd have been in history so long that noth-
Ing concerning them could now be consid
ired news! Thore's an old fellow, now,"
said Tom, sitting down upon astone bench
in a convenient nook, and regarding one
bf these moss grown records of departed
jgreatness, "that would make my fortune
if ho were living now, and I could send a
teport of what he had to say for himself to
The National Balloon." , i
" It was tbJ tomb of Blthrlc, earl of
feiloucester, which Tom regarded as he
spoko. It was a quiet place, pleasant, too,
on that bright summer day, and Tom be
gan to feel a little drowsy, though he avers
ilistlnctly that he did not sleep.
. A elgh aroused him at last, and he
looked up. An immense being, clad in
stone colored armor and leaning on a
shield, stood close beside him, regarding
Blthric's tomb only the tomb, for the
statue was gone. j ?X
Tom started, shivered, and, rising has
tily, made a bow. The figure bowed in re
ply. Tom felt thankful that in Its ponder
ous politeness it did not topple down upon
him. . j
' "II I'm delighted, I'm sure," said
Tom. "I I've a little appointment with
a man where I'm putting up. If you'll al
low me to pass, I'll go." I
: But the figure did not stlri It simply
turned its stony head toward Tom and
rolled forth from the lips under the helmet
these words:
"I am Bithric, earl of Gloucester."
"Good gracious!" said ToniJ Then, de
spite his terror, the ruling passion reas
serted itself, and he began with Bithric,
earl of Gloucester, as he did with other fre
quently interviewed worthies. "It must
be very gratifying to road the records of
your former triumphs, sir," eald Tom. '
; "Read! My father made soldiers of his
sons, not clerks. . But if youi are a clerk,
sir" ' I - .
"Oh, no; I'm not," said Tom, thinking
of dry goods stores and saying to himself
(this aloud), "I'm a reporter.',;
The being gazed on Tom for a moment
and then repeated: !
: "I am Bithric, earl of Gloucester." .
This time Tom put it down in short
hand. - .
: "I was one on whom women always
looked kindly," said the warrior, crossing
his hands upon his sword, "but I had a
true heart. I loved but one among all
women. Let the others smile upon me as
they might, only Althea. Alas, she is
changed, even as I ami j s
"You should have seen mo when I went
upon an embassy to Normandy. My hair
fell to my shoulders, my beard fell to my
waist. They were of red gold. . My shoul
ders were a cloth yard from tip to tip. I
was worthy of Althca's love. : We plighted
our troth again. I placed a ring upon her
finger and she gave mo a tress of her soft
hair. ;
" 'Forget mo not for any Norman dam
Bol, ' saith she -
"Saith I, 'On earth there is no damsel
worth looking on when one hath looked
on theo.' And I kissed her, and we parted.
"A little after and I was, among the
shaven Normans. And I had fulfilled my
mission and was hospitably entreated by!
Baldwin, duke of Flanders, and paid my
duty to his daughter, the beautiful Ma
tilda." "Handsome girl, sir?" asked Tom.
"Sho was fair to look upon. Her eyes
were black and her hair, braided with
jewels, was black as night. She led mo on
to woo her by many a womanly wile, but
I could not forget my Saxon Althea.
"I seemed to heed her not, so her love
waxed hotter. She wept and said none in
Normandy had any of her heart. At last
she whispered that if I fain would be her
true knight I might even be so.
"I thanked her for- her courtesy and
kindness, and for the honor that she would
have done me, but which I must decline.
Sho pointed to the doorf v
" 'Go," sho said. 'Leavo the castle and
tho land, but remember ' my love is- all
changed to hate, and I will have revenge,'
"I wont back to England. I found
Althea truo. I wooed and won her. But
even ore sho was my bride news came to
mo that Matilda was married to Duke Wil
liam of Normandy. And' I was glad, for
no truo knight would willingly deem a
maiden lovelorn because of him.
"And I dwelt happy with my Althea
until the rumors of war filled our land.
Duke William of Normandy came unto our
shores with his shaven band, like unto so
many priests, but fierce in the fight withal,
and good men at arms. And I left Althea
and fought for Harold, my king, for a
long and weary while.
"Wounded sore, I was made prisoner
and cast into a dupgeon in Winchester.
One night my dungeon door opened and
there stood at it a lady veiled. The
thought thatitwasAlthea filled my heart.
and I cried out. Then she put back her
veil. Tho light of a torch fell on her face.
It was Matilda!
"Sho looked at mo steadily.
" 'Said I not beware of my vengeance?'
she hissed. , 'It is attained, upon my
knees I have asked a boon of my lord, and
he has given it me. You are my prisoner,
not his. I have laid waste all your lands.
For your person, it shall lie here in dirt
and dark and starve and thirst ana ache,
and day by day die by inches.
"With pain I lifted myself unto my
knee. 'Lady, I give you honor and no
scorn. I was but a true knight to her
unto whom my vows were plighted. Let
my wife come but once to me. "
" The soldiers who despoiled your home
had commands from me.'
"Then Mrs. I beg your pardon, the
countess was was, to speak plainly,

"Yes," said the being.
"And. you did you mention that you
did not recover the shock?
The presence pointed to the tomb. Tom
looked at it. That is the last that he re
membered until the sexton shook him.
"If you aro interested in the church,
you don't want to be shut in all night, I
'pose," said that worthy.
"Good heavens, no!" cried Tom.' ''
Tom shook hlmsolf again and looked up
at the tomb. The somber stone figure
leaned upon its shield and poised its lance
upon it as before.

"Look at me," she continued, !" I'm a
perfect wreok. " I've been dragged all over
town to every bargain counter in New
York by those' cousins from the country.
They are absolutely indefatigable, and so
they've pulled and yanked me in and out
everywhere until I'm ready to drop. They
got lots of lovely bargains, though
scarfs, head rests, photograph frames and
every blessed thing they didn't need and
now they haven't got a cent left for the,
very frock they came to buy. , All I've got
to Bhow for It Is my silk petticoat torn out
of the gathers, a splitting headache, lame
back and a pair of 49 cent gloves that are
not mates!" New York Mercury.

DAEAB'S WINE CUP.
A certain wine cup belonged to Darab,
a Persian king. To him It had come as an
heirloom from a long line of ancestors.
He prized it over all things.
Truly this cup was a marvel of exqui
site craftsmanship. The name of Its maker
was lost 'mid the mists of dead ages. In
deed so magical- seemed the skill of its
fashioning that some there were who
thought that it purely must be the work
of a power more than mortal. It was
formed wholly of jewels that were fastened
together by some strange, subtle device,
and it was shapojl in a manner most curi
ous. Its craftsman had taken a flower of
peculiar beauty for his design.
As Darao, on least nights, held it, wine
filled, beforo the light it seemed as If a
many tinted cluster of precious stones was
plunged Into a luminous sea a sea softly,
sensuously red. Tho rare old grapo juice,
fostered to lifo in tho long ago by the sun
light, appeared to awako, to exult, to live
again in the glow of a milder light.
But none might drink from this cup but
Darab -Darab, tho king!
Toghrul, the soothsayer, he of the white
flowing beard and mystic, piercing eyes,
averred that this cup of ttimes possessed
strange powers. He said that If Darab
gazed into tho depths of the wine as it
foamed and sparkled within its embrace
ho might see, as in pictures, happenings
in faroff places, or ho might see deeply in
to the workings of tho hearts of those who
stood near,
This saying of tho soothsayer had caused
fear to enter into the minds of the cour
tiers, and whenever Darab looked steadily
into the cup all trembled, as none kDew
what next might ha'ppen. Again, it was
whispered, by whom none could tell, that
If it was destroyed Darab would die, and
never nioro would one of his race reign as
king.. -x
Thus was this qup of grave, of ominous
import.
" ..
This nigkt was a riight-of feasting and
grand revelry within tho , king's palace.
Lights flashed and sheened. ' Wines of tho
rarest and choicest vintage flowed freely
as water. Delicate viands, fruits and sub
tle triumphs of cookery were spread upon
tho groat tables. And there were gloam
ings of countless gem incrusted, precious
metaled goblets. Glorious clusters of
flowers gave forth a sense lifting all per
VlSSing aroma. Varied and mingling col
ors and hues raptured the eye.
And here were women of a glory and a
beauty indescribable. Silks shimmered
Eves shone.
And here was the cold, cruel glint of
steel, for soldiers, nccoutcred, were at tho
feast, i
Sable slaves ministered to tho wants of
the, feasters. Bracelets and anklets of
ivory flashed as they flitted to and fro.
King, satraps, women, courtiers nay
all were blended in a grand, joying uni-
tion, I Liko fire flamed all hearts.
And music rang.
; . . ' '
Thei; moon's light was calm and clear.
Stars twinkled, glistened in the profound
afar. All wfes still. But in the stillness
there seemed to sleep some strange, mighty
secret; And there xcame into the air a
heaviness.
x
"Ho! Toghrul, Toghrul! Thouof sooth
saying fame, come hither como hither! I
have gazed into this cup, and, lo, it has re
vealed to me the face and thoughts of one
who is a traitor one who plots against my
life, my throne, my all. Yonder he stands.
He! Hydor!" x
It was Darab who called out thus in a
loud voice. A wicked, cruel smile played
in his face as he pointed to Hydcr, one of
his satraps. Tho night had passed well on,
and the revelry had become of the wildest,
A silence as of the grave fell over all as
the king made this accusation. They
knew and feared what was coming. None
dared speak but Toghrul.
"Art sure, O king?" he asked. The
Bootbjsayer felt kindly toward the satrap.
"Sure as that I am of woman born,"
Darab replied as he again looked Into the
cup, f here is the face of yon unworthy
servant. Now it is still and tells naught.
but an Instant ago as I gazed its lips moy
ed, and from them I heard murmurings ot
revolt and treachery. He must die. Thie
cup i is my safeguardancl guide. Ho,
guards! Seizo yon traitor!
Hyder turned pale. Bravo though he
was,; ho trembled trembled because of ont
he loved and little ones. - Yes, he was losl
lost. Ofttimcs had he known Darab tc
order men to tho death because of things
revealed to him In this strango cup.
Hyder was seized, and death hung in tht
air, when a loud cry broke from Darab.
Again he was looking Into the cup, but
this time his face was convulsed with fear,
"Ho! To arms, to arms!" he cried wild'
ly. 1 "Soldiers, all, to arms! Foemen sur
round the palace ! Rebels are upon us ! "
Hyder wa loosed, and In a flash the
revel was turned to a wild, terror stricken
confusion. .
Then was heard a low rumbling in the
air, and suddenly there came a fearful roll
of thunder and a succession of blinding,
destroying lightning flashes. The walls
of the palace near the king's throne fell.
Clashing pf arms and savage shouts were
heard in the distance.
Darab was standing with the cup raised
aloft in his right hand. He was invoking
aid from the powers above. Near him
stood tho soothsayer and Hyder with
drawn sword. He was prepared to defend
to the last gasp the king who had so cruel
ly condemned him. Shrieks and cries were
rending the air.
' Then came a lightning flash that was
mightier and more blinding than all that
had gone before. It struck the cup, shlv
erlng it to dust. Darab fell dead. It was
even as if the powers above had spoken.
Into the palace rushed the enemy,
i And tumult reigned. Bart Kennedy.
The Elephant Liked His Toddy.
It is a-curious thing, and one which 1
have never . heard satisfactorily explained,
that animals and fowls, and almost every
living creature upon which tho test has
been made, take to intoxicants. Instead
of mankind alone, as Byron had it, being
distinguished from the brute creation by
his ability tb get drunk, the exception Is
largely favorable to civilized mankind. ' I
f thought of this recently when present at a
private experiment on savago and domes-

cation tho most savage animals, the tiger

same. It upsets a good many preconceived
notions. Pittsburg Dispatch.

"If I wished to tell the great difference
between the German actor and the Ameri

that the German stage is regarded by the
actor as a sanotity a place to be approach
