ed Story by the Great Kastlan
Reformer.)
V
lu tho town of Vladimir lived a
: ,uug merchant named Ivan Diult
. tub Aksyonof. He had two shops
...i a a bouse of hla own.
Aksyonof waa a handsome, falr
hUred, curly-headed follow, full of
fuu, and wry fond of singing. When
Quito a young man he bad been giv
en to drink, and was riotous when
be bad bad too much; but after be
married be gave up drinking, ex
cept now und then.
One summer Akayonof waa going
to tUu Nizhuy Fair, and as he bade
good bye to bin family bla wife bald
to bhu: "Ivan Dmltrltch, do uot
etart today; 1 have bad a bad Jn-ura
about you."
Aksyonof laughed, and said: "You
are alraid when 1 gut to the fair I
aball go on the spree."
His wife replied: "I do uot know
what X am afraid of; all I know la
that 1 bail a bad dream. I dreamt
you returned from the town, aud
wiion you took off your cap I saw
U.al your hair waa quite gray."
Aksyonof laughed. "That's a
lucky sign," said bo. "See If 1 don't
sell cut all my goods and bring you
gome presents from the fa r."
So he said good-bye to his family
and drove away.
When he had traveled half way
be met a merchant whom be knew,
and they put up at the tamo Inn for
the night. They had some tea to
gether, aud then went to bed In re
joining rooms.
It waa not Aksyonof's habit to
Bleep lute, and, wishing to travel
while It waa still cool, be aroused
bis driver before dawn, and told
him to put In the horses.
Then he made his way across to
the landlord of the Inn, who lived
kn a cottage at the buck, paid his
bill, and continued hla Journey.
When he bad gone about twenty
five miles, he stopped for the horses
to be fed. Aksyonof rested awhile
'.-I the passage ot the Inn, then be
upped out Into the porch, and, or
jrnng a samovar to be heated, got
:u his guitar and began to play.
Suddenly a troyka drove up with
ckiing bells, and an official allght
J, followed by two soldiers. He
oa:ue to Aksyonof and began to ques
tion blm, usklng him who be waa
and whence be came, Aksyonof aa
rwered him fully, and said: "Wont
you have some tea with met" But
flic official went on cross-questioning
him and asking blm: "Where did
you spend lust night? Were you
alone, or with a fellow-merohant?
Did you see the other merchant this
morning? Why did you leav the
iiin before dawn?"
Aksyonof wondered why be waa
asked all these questions, but bo de
scribed all that bad happened, and
then added, "Why do you cross
question me as If I were a thief or
a robber? I am traveling on busi
ness of my own, and there la no
veed to question m."
Then the official, calling the sol
diers, said: "I am the police-officer
of this district, and I question you
because the merchant wllh whom you
ajient last nlht has been found with
his throat out. We must search
your things."
They entered the house. The sol
diers and the police-officer unstrap
ped Aksyonof's luggage and search
ed It, Suddenly the officer drew a
knife out of a bag, crying: "Whose
knife U this?"
Aksyonof looked, and seeing a
blood-stained knife taken from hla
bag, be was frightened.
"How Is It there is blood on this
knife?"
Aksyonof tried to answer, but
cpuld hardly utter a word, und only
etammorod: "I I don't know not
mine."
Then tbo police officer said, "This
morning the merchant was found In
bed with his throat cut You are tb
only person who could have done It.
The house was locked from inside,
and no one else waa there. Here is
tils bloodstained knife in your bag,
and your face and manner betray
you. Tell me how you killed him,
.and how much money you stole."
Aksyonof swore he had not dona
that he had not seen the nier
L&uut after they bad bad tea to
gether; that he had no money except
dight thousand roubles of his own,
und that the knlf waa not hla. Dot
bis voice waa broken, bis face pale,
und he trembled with fear as though
be wcro guilty.
'J he police officer ordered the sol
(iWh lo bind Aksyonof and to put
Uhx in Um cart As they tied
lilt, f.!-t together and flung hln
Into tha cart, Akayonof crowed
lJinself and wept Hla money
hiid iioods were taken from him,
I'.nd be waa sent to the nearest to-n
tuid lmprlsoued there. Inquiries uh
to his character were made in Vlad
imir. The merchants and other In
habitants of that town said that !u
firmer dtyi he iwed to drink nnd
vvstJ hla time, but that bo waa t
good man. Then the trial came onj
he was charged with murdering a
merchant from Ryazan and robbing
him of twenty thousand roubles.
His wife was In despair, and did
not know what to believe. Her child
ren were all quite small; one was a
baby at her breast. Taking tluiu
all with her, she went to the town
where her husband was In gaol. At
first she was not allowed to ftee him;
but after much begging she obtained
permission from the officials and was
taken to htm. When she saw her
husband in prison dress and in
chains, shut up with thieves and
criminals, she fell down and did
uot come to her senses for a. long
time. Then she drew hor children
to her and sat down near him. She
told him of things at homo, and ask
ed about what had happened to him.
He told her all, and she asked:
"What can we do now?"
"We must petition the Cznr not
to let an Innocent man perish."
His wife told blm that she had
sent a petition to the Czar but that
it bad not been accepted.
Aksyonof did not reply, but only
looked downcast
Then his wife said: "It was not
for nothing I dreamed your hair had
turned gray. You remember? You
thould not have started that day."
And passing her flugora through his
hair, she said: "Vauya dearest, tell
your wife tho truth; It was d. : you
who did It?"
"So you, too, suspect me!" said
Aksyonof, and, hiding his face In
his handB, he began to weep. Then
& soldier came to say that tne wife
and children must go away; and Aks
yonof bald good-bye to bis family for
the last time.
When they were gone, Aksyonof
recalled what had been said, and
when he remembered that his wife
bad also suspected him, be said to
himself: "it buuma that only God
can know the truth; it Is to Him
alone we must apoal, and from Him
alone expect mercy."
And Aksyonof wrote no more peti
tions; gave up all hopo, and only
prayed to God.
Aksyonof was condemned to be
flogged and sent to the nilno. So
he waa flogged ' with a knout, and
wheu the wounds made by the knout
were healed, he was driven to Siber
ia with other convicts.
For twenty -six years Aksyonof
lived as a convict in Siberia. His
hair turned whlto as snow, end his
beard grew long, thin and gray. All
the mirth went; he stooped; be walk
ed solwly, spoke little, and never
laughed, but he often prayed.
In prison Aksyonof learned to
make boots, and earnod a little mo
ney, with which bo bought "The
Lives of the Saints." He read this
book when there was light enough
in the prison, and on Sundays in 'be
prison-church he read the lessons
and sang In the choir; tor bis -voice
was still good. The prison authori
ties liked Aksyonof tor his ineek
noa and hla fellow prisoners respect
ed him, they called him "Grand
father." and "The Saint When
they wanted to petition tha prison
authorities about anything, they al
ways made Aksyonof their spokes
man, and when there were quarrels
among th prisoners the came to
him to put things right and to Judge
the matter.
No news reached Aksyonof from
his home, and he did not even know
If hla wife and children wore still
allr.
One day a gang, ol new convicts
o&me to the prison. In the evening
the old prisoners collected around
the new ones and asked them what
towns or villages they came from and
what they were sentonoed for. Among
the rest Aksyonof sat down near the
newcomers sad listened with a down
cast air to what waa said.
One ot the nw oonvlota, a tall,
strong man of sixty, with a closely
cropped gray beard, was telling tha
others what be had been arrested
for.
"Well, friends," ha said, "I only
took a horse that was tied to a
ledge, and I was arrested and ac
cused of stealing. I said I had only
taken it to get home quicker, and
bad then let It go; beaidea, tne driv
er was a personal friend of mine. So
I aald, 'It's aU right' 'No,' aald they,
'you stole it' But how or where I
stole it they could not say. I once
really did something wrong, and
ought by rights to have come here
long ago, but that time I was not
found out. Now I have been sent
here for nothing at all Ah, but U'
lies I'm telling you; I've been to
Siberia before, but I did not stay
long."
"Where are you from?" asked
someone.
"From Vladimir. My family are
of that town. My name la ilakar,
and they also call ma Semyonitch."
Aksyonof raised his bead and
said; "Tell me, Semyonitch, do you
know anything ot the merchants
Aksyonof, ot Vladimir? Are they
Btill alive?"
"Know them? Ot oourso I do.
The Aksyonofa are rich, though
their father Is in SXburla; a slnuer
like ourselves, it Booms! As tor you
Gran'dad, how did you come here?"
Aksyonof did not like to speak of
his misfortune. He only sighed and
Bald: "I have been In prison thews
twenty-aU years for my Bins,"
"What Bins?" asked Makar Sem
yonitch. But Aksyonof only said, "Well,
well I must have deserved UP H
would have said no mora, but bis
companions told the new -corner how
Aksyonof came to be In Siberia; bow
someone had killed a merchant, and
abd put a knife among AkyojofB
tfh'nps, nnd Aksyonof had been nn
Justly condemned.
When Makar Semyonitch heard
this, he looked at Aksyonof, slapped
his own knee, and exclaimed: "Well,
this is wonderfull Really wonder
ful! But bow old you've grown,
Gran'dad I"
The others asked blm why bj was
bo surprised, and where he had seou
Aksyonof before; but Makar Sem
yonitch did not reply. He only said:
"It's wonderful that wo should met
here, lads!"
Those words made Aksyonof won
der whether this mau knew who had
killed the merchant; bo be said :
"Perhaps, Semyonitch, you have
heard of that affair, or maybe you've
seen tne before?"
"How could 1 help hearing? The
world's full of rumors. But Its
long ago, and I've forgotten what 1
heard.'
'Perhaps you heard who killed the
merchant?" asked Aksyonof.
Makar Semyonitch laughed and re
plied: "It must have boon be In
whose bag the knife was found! If
someone else bid the knife there,
'He's not a thief till he's cuught,' as
the saying is. How could anyone tit
a knife into your bag while It was
under your head? It would surely
have woke you up?"
When Aksyonof heard these words
he felt sure this waa the man who
had killed the merchant. He roj
and went away. All that night Aks
yonof lay awake. Ho felt terribly
unhappy and all sorts of Images ai o.su
In his mind. There was tho linage
of his wife as she was wheu be part
ed from her to go to the fair. Ho
saw her as If she were present; her
face and ber eyes rose before htm;
he heard her speak and laugh. Then
be saw his children, quite little, us
they were at that time, one villi a
Uttlu cloak on, another ut bU moth
er's breast And then he remember
ed himself as he used to be young
and morry. He remembered how be
sat playing the guitar on the porch
of the Inn where he waa arrested,
and bow free from care be bad been.
He was, in bis mind, tho place where
ho was flossed, the executioner, und
the puople btaudlng around; th
chains, the convicts, all the twenty
six years of bis prison life, and his
premature old age. Tho thought of it
all made him so wretched that he
was ready to kill himself.
"And it's all that villain': doing!"
thought Aksyonof. Aud his auger
was so great against Magar Semyon
itch that he longed for vengeance
even if he himself should perish for
It He kept repeating prayers all
night, but could not get no peace.
During the day he did not go noar
Makar Semyonitch, nor even look at
him.
A fortnight passed in this way.
Aksyonof could not sleep at nights,
and was so miserable that he did not
know what to do.
One night as he was walking about
the prison be notVcod some earth
that cams rolling out from under
one of the shelves on which the
prisoners slept He stopped to see
what It was. Suddenly Makar Sem
yonitch crept out from under the
shelf and looked up at Aksyonof with
frightened face. Aksyonof tried to
pais without looking at him, but
Makar selud his band and told him
that he bad dug a hole under the
wall, getting rid of the earth by put
ting It into his high-boots, and empty
ing It out every day on the road
when the prisoners were driven to
their work.
"Just you keep quiet, old man. and
you shall get out too. If you Mao
they'll flog the life out ot ma, but
111 kill you first"
Aksyonof trembled with anger as
he looksd at his enemy. He drew
his hand away, saying; "I have no
wish to escape, and you have t.o
aeed to kill me; you killed me long
ago! As to telling ot you I may
do so or not, as God shall direct."
Next day, when the convicts were
led out to work, the convoy soldiers
noticed that one or other of the
prisoners emptied some earth out of
his boots. The prison was searched,
and the tunnel found. The Gover
nor came and questioned all tho
prisoners to find out who had dug
tha hole. They ail denied any know
ledge of It Thoss who knew '.. ould
not betray Makar Semyonitch, know
ing he would be flogged almost to
death. At last the Governor turned
to Aksyonof, whom be knew to be
a Just man, and said:
"Tou are a truthful old man; tell
me, before God, who dug the hole?"
Makar Semyonitch stood as If he
were quite unconcerned, locking at
the Governor and not so much as
glancing at Aksyonof. Aksyonof's lli-s
and hands trembled, and for a long
time he oould not utter a word. A
thought: "Why should I screen htm
who ruined my life? Let him pay for
What I have suffered. But If I tll
they will probably flog the life out
f him, and I may have suspected
him wrongly. And, after all, wuat
good would It be to me?"
"Well, old man," repeated '.he
Governor, "tell us the truth: who
has boon digging under the wall?"'
Aksyonof glanoed at Makar H.u.i
yonitch, aud said: "I cannot say,
four honor. It Is not God's will that
I should tell! Do what you liku with
me: I am lu your bunds."
That night, when Aksyonof was
lying on his bed and Just beginning
to dose, someone came quietly anil
sat down on his bed. Ho peered
through the darkness and recognized
KakM.
"What more so you want of me?"
asked Aksyonof. "Why have you
cone here?"
Makar Somyonltch was sileut 8a
Aksyonof eat tip and said. "What do
you want? Go away, or I will call
the guard!"
Makar Semyonitch bent close ovr
Aksyonof and whispered: "Ivan
Dmltrltch, forgive mo!"
"What for?" naked Aksyonof.
"It waa I who killed the merchant
and hid the knife among your things
I meant to kill you, loo, but I beard
a noise outside; so I hid the kui.'e
In your bag and escaped out of the
window."
Aksyonof was sllout and did not
know what to say. Makar Semyon
itch slid off the bod-shelf and knelt
upon the ground. "Ivan Dmltrltch, "
wild he, "forgive me! For the love
of GoJ, forgive me! I will confess
that It wua I who killed the mer
chant, and you will be released and
osu go to your homo."
"It is easy for you to talk," said
Aksyonof, "but I have suffered for
you these twenty-six years. Where
could I go to nowT My wife is dead,
and my children huve forgotten me.
1 hava nowhere to go"
Makar Somyonltch did not rise,
but beat his bead on the floor. "Ivan
Dmltrltch, forgive ms!" he cried.
"Whuu they Hogged me with the
knout It was uot so hard to bear as
it Is .o seo you now yet you bad
pity on me and did not tell. For
Christ's sake frglvo mo, wretch that
I am!" And ho began to sob.
Wbon Aksyonof hoard him sobbing
he, too, berjau to weep.
"God will forgive you!" said be.
"Maybe I am a hundred times worse
than you." And at these words bis
heart grew light, and tha longing
for homo left blm. He no longer
had any desire to K'ave the prison
but only hoped for his last hour to
coma.
In spite of what Aksyonof said,
Makar Semyonitch confessed his
guilt. But when the order for his
release camo Aksyon'tf was already
dead.
Hosiery In Europe.
The term "hosiery," which includ
es socks, stockings and knit under
wear, by Improvement and develop
ment of machinery is now being ex
tended over an Infinite variety ot
Jerseys, Tarn o' Shantors and the
like. The neatness and smartness
of these garments when knit, cling
ing closely to the form, are pushing
other knit fabrics, Including ! lousos,
the woven equivalents out of the
trade. The Germans are given the
chief credit for Initiative in knit
goods. They have built special fac
tories and put in special machinery
for them. This, coupled with cer
tain advantages in dyeing and ability
to produce cheaply, has given them,
It Is said, almost a monopoly ot the
European trade.
The Germans have even com
manded tbo British market, but as
the extraordinary demand for their
product disables thorn from filling or
ders within many months after they
are placed the English manufactur
er sees and la grasping his oppor
tunity. Admittedly he cannot pro
duce and sell as cheaply as the Ger
man, but be can fill orders promptly.
This fact with the natural desire
ot the British to buy home products,
encourages the belief that the Eng
lish manufacturer can at least secure
the home market It he may not b
able to compete elsewhere with 'ha
Gorman. Moreover, many of the ma
chines with which the Germans ar
achieving prosperity In knit tabrloa
are British make; hence Great Bri
tain Is manifestly equipped with tha
weapons most necessary In the con
test. The present activity In tha pro
duction of knit fabrics, or prepara
tions therelor indicates that the Ger
man invasion is to be repelled U
possible.
Tho Tragedy of llolntf Lowly,
Nine-tenths ot man's felicity de
ponds upon being well born; in Lon
don a bit more than nine-tenths. In
the upper classes 18 per cent, of the
children die before reaching the age
ot live years, but in the lower claus
es say of St George'B-lu-tbe-Uast
the average death rats is twenty-
nine years of age.
So by the mere fact of beln; born
out of the nobility and gentry the
Londoner is stripped ot twenty-seven
years of the life that might have
been his. Oh, ot other things, too,
ho is shorn. His short life is bars
of comfort or delight Nor can he
take pride In It it is, at once, too
dirty and too sad; all by that chanca
of birth too far eastward.
Fain and hunger and helotry
the empty bully and the overburden
ed back are his heritage. He aud
his woman a pair of lean, varped
animals slink together through the
grayneiss ot life, under the Iron laws.
And in blows and oaths they find
a curtain Joy in gin which is white
as water and runs hellishly hot
dowu the throat and smokes In the
brain; find, too, in the pewter pot of
httavy wet a certain Bleep which Is
bottor than waking; go thus through
Life till tho iron law of averages
knock thorn ou tho head at twenty-
UiiiU.
An inexorable law, decreeing that
one of every four Londoner? auall
die In workhouse, hospital. Jail or

RICH MEN'S KIN.
There la good authority for tha
Otatement that It la dlnult for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of
Heaven. Yet It Is possible for him to
do so and have bis earthly wealth
forgiven him by Providence. It is
probably Impossible for him to have
his wealth forgiven him by all his
relatives. "God gives us our rela
tives, but thank God, we, can choose
our friends," Is a modern epigram
sufficiently cynical. There Is evidence
enough In the experience of every
very wealthy man to support the the
ory that some of his relatives were
"given" him to chasten his spirit
through trial.
The very successful man with a nu
merous family circle la in for soma
trying experiences. He is apt to be
looked upon by some of his connection
as a sort of earthly providence. IJke
charity, he must suffer long and be
kind. He must stand for perpetual
"touches" which the euphemy of tho
parties of tho second part disguises
as "loans." Ho must make bad bar
gains with his kith and kin. To In
sist on getting back bis principal la
odious, to remind them that there Is
some Interest coming to htm Is atro
cious, to closo out a mortgage stamps
him as an enemy of his kind. Only a
monster In human form would suggest
to a relative who has adopted the
comfortable theory ot life that "Cousin
mil owes me a living" that he has a
pair of-stout legs and arms of his
own.
"What the daughters of the hore
learh satd Is of record. "Give! Givel"
was their refrain. It is not of record
what the nephews and nieces and the
cousins through tho various degrees
of consanguinity said; but it waa
dou'jtloss to the same effect. Tne
world has had several notable in
stances of collateral relatives mobil
izing and descending tn a body on the
estate of a ricu man's widow, and has
Its own discount ready for any ex
pressions of disappointment or dis
like, pest-mortrm or ante-mortem.

A man may mind his own business
even when he employs a private secre
tary. Are You Nervous?
Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ually due to tho fact that the nerves
are not fed on properly nourishing
blood; they are starved nerves. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes pure, rich blood, and thereby
the nerves are proerly nourished and
all the organs of the body are run us
smoothly as machinery which runs in
oil. In this way you feel clean, strong
and strenuous you are toned np ana
Invigorated, nnd you are aood for a
whole lot of physical or mental work.
Best of all, the strength and increase in
vitality and health are "lasting."
The trouble with most tonics and
medicines which have a large booming
sale for a short time. Is that thev are
largely composed of alcohol holding
the drugs in solution. This alcohol
shrinks up the red blood corpuscles,
and in the long run greatly injures the
system. One may feel exhilarated and
better for the time being, yet in the
end weakened and witli vitality de
creased. Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Kvery
bottle of It bears upon Its wrapier "The
Badge of Honesty," in a full list of all
its several ingredients For tho drug
gist to offer you something he claims Is
"just as good" is to iusult your intelli
gence. Wlgg "They say Bluffet is
