Now, sweetheart, as my love is ihitie.

So trip it ere the storm-hag wtird.

A Peasant's Adventure.
When Peter the Great was reign
ing iu Moscow, and St. Petersbuig
was uot yet built, a Kussian
peasant iu a tattered sheepskin
irock wiis cutting
spot ou one of the
central Kussia. It was a burulDg
summer day and hia work had made
him very hot aDd tiled, but one
could see by his downcast face and
hanging head that some great
trouble was pressing harder upon
him than even this fatiguing labor.
Looking up in one of the pauses
of this work, turf cutter saw a tall
young man coming slowly over the
plain to meet him. The new comer
wore the greet), gold laced unilorm
of the palace guards; lut the lace
was so faded and tbe coat itelt to
threadbare tliat one would have
judged tbe uflicer tube either a
very careless man or a er poor
OIK.
"lie lotiks as ll he bad Ins! Ins
way," muttered the peasant as the
stranger halted and glanced dubi
ously around him. '! must tee il
I can't put him right; it's always a
comfort when one's iu trouble one's
sell, to help homebody cite out of
it."
The young officer did not look
like a man who would need much
help from any one. He was tallei
by, ftir than any whom the peasant
had yet seeD, and his broad chest
and sinewy limbs showed signs ol
enormous strength. His smooth
handsome face wore a rather sad
look, as he walked slowly, as ll
either tired or in deep thought, but
there was an air of conscious power
in his upright beaming and the tlrm
set of his head, as if he felt himself
tojbe a match, and more than a
match, for anything he might meet.
Alllioug he seemed to be the sort
of a man whom one would much
rather have lor a friend than lor an
enemy.
Hello, brother," said the
stranger, in a deep strong voice.
'Am 1 far from the village of V oik
hoflT 1 think I must have gone
wrong somehow."
"Your honor has gone wrong in
deed," answered the peasant, shak
ing his head; "it's a long way from
Volkhoff. You go eastward to a
big tree standing by itself, and
then you must turn southward to a
small lake. Then after that you'll
make a big bend to the right,
and
"Oh, I shall never be nble to re
member all that," said the officer
laughing. "Suppose you come
along with me and show me the
way yourself."
"1 would do it gladly, your honor,"
Raid tbe peasant hesitatingly. "But
if I lose the day's work then ''
"rou shall loose nothing by help
ing me, be assured of that," said
the young man, gravely. "How
much do you earn iu a dayt"
'Twenty kopecks," (15 cents.)
"Twenty kopecks," echoed the
stranger, looking down pityingly
at the poor, tired man, who worked
so hard for such a scanty pay.
"Here is half a rouble (37 cents) for
joo, and now come along, uy ine
by, if we pass near your house you
might carry your turf home at the
sane time."
"It would need twojourncys to do
that, your honor."
"Two!" Why those four basksts
would surely hold it all."
"There's not a man in Russia,
yonr honor, vrbo can carry all four
at onoe when they are full. The
two smallest are enough for me."
"Not a man in Russia, eh!" said
the young officer. "We'll try that.
Sling Uiose four baskets over my
shoulders, and then fill them."
The laborer hesitated, but the
young man spoke like one accus
tomed to be obeyed. As he stooped
to receive tbe basket?, tbe peasant
slang them over his shoulders, two
before and two behind, and then
piled the turf till all four were
piled to the top. Then it was a
sight to see the great towering
figure rise slowly to its Tall height
tinder the load and strode away bo
briskly that the amazed peasant
had hard work to keep a p.
A short walk brought them to a
wretched hovel that was the poor
turf cutter's only borne, and while
tbe latter was emptying thelbaskets
the stranger's bold eyes were penar
'ears before he had bought at a
igh price from a rich neighbor a
small tract of ground that had
proved to be hardly worth having
at all. Moreover, not being able to
pay for it at the time, he had
got in debt, and the debt kept
growing larger from the high rate
of interest charged upon it, till he
was almost driven to despair.
"It don't seem fair, does it?'' he
concluded; "but what can I do! He
is rich and J, am poor and li .end
less."
"(Jan such things be doue in
KossiaT-' muttuied the officer. "It
is time lor a change!"
His great black cms lighted as
