Ituvtian police took the affair in hand
and that was the last we heard of it.
"At that time there was said to bo at

Paritz. Rumor invested him with all

"Count Yasilvitch was known far and
wide ns a numismatist. Ills collection
of coins was tho most complete of any iu
the country, and liad drawn from tho

collection were two kopecks which had
been curiously punched tbrongh tho
center. Count Yasilvitch valued these

was understood that they had a history

"When tho police came to examine tho

not care to publish their discovery from
motives which you can easily understand,
and tho world at largo knew nothing
about it. Tho coin which wa3 not taken
by the assassin, admitting this for our
story s sake, gentlemen, was given to the
misty Paritz, with orders to find its mate
and tho count s enemy as well
"Paritz took the case with his usual
bow, and there the rhief of polico left it.
The count a coins wero put up for sale.
and the numismatists who were drawn
to St. Petersburg by the event wondered
what had become of the punched kopeck.
Half a dozen bidders stood ready to pur-

his prowess now, and there wero fewer

will drink to his little joke."
The face of Paritz did not relax.
Rising to his feet ho drew forth a
small diary, the leaves of which ho
tnrned with provoking coolness.
At length ho began to read of Colonel
Simovar's minutest doings in France and
among the Pyrenees. From this he
jumped to tho tourist in America, and
was following him step by 6tep back to
the czar's dominions, when Simovar
threw up his hand.

The police spy bowed. "I tako the
punched kopecks, gentlemen, and the
mnrderer of Count Yasilvitch as well,"
and gathering up tho two coins with
ono hand, he touched Simovar on the
shoulder with the other.
There was not the least resistance on
the colonel's part, nnd he went with
'aritz and tho pnnched kopecks to tho
station.
The little wine supper thus startllngly
broken up by the indefatigable spy of
the czar was nover resumed, and the

An interesting point is the cause of
the different shades of color we see in
the eyes. On a certain membrane in the
interior are numerous cells, called "pig.
ment" cells. When these are present in
vory great numbers they produce that
deep black color of some eyes, and in
proportion to their numbers decrease
also the depth of color, till finally a light
blue is reached. Iu certain eyes these
pigment cells do not exist at all, being
wanting, indeed, all through the system,
hair and skin. A person of this descrip
tion is called an albino, and among am
inala we find a parallel in the case of

herds of bison, commonly known as the
buffalo, nn animal which, in its wild
itnte, nt least, lias almost entirely van

tlemen, prominent in Texas politics, were
mnting in the buffalo region, and one of
ihcm, getting within range of a herd
f the ruminaiitu, brought down a large

S reaching his quarry, when all at once
i rose, bellowing and ready for busi

ras the sportsman's only recourse, an 1
in instant later n wild eyed man was
leen tearing away, with ft f nrions brute
ilosely following.
Hunter number two, meanwhile, was
nratching the scene from n hilltop, too
far off to bo of the slightest assistance to
bis companion.
A tragic termination of tho chase
lecmed inevitable, for tho fleoing gentle
man was a heavyweight, and already
the fice between pursuer and pursued
began to diminish. Suddenly the fugi
tive was seen to strike off nt nn angle,
and tho breathless watcher heaved a
sigh of relief when his friend's objective
point was found to bo n envo but a few
rods awuy.
At tho very entrance to this seeming
placo of safety, however, the fleeing man
turned aside and ilasuM with such frantic
speed across tho plain that a marked
gain was made upon hia pursuer.
liut this could not last long, and final
ly, the 'fugitive's strength utterly fail
ing him, he fell completely exhausted,
while the buffalo, faint from loss of
blood, dropped at almost the same in
stant and within less than a rod of the
prostrate man.
Hunter number two now came up, and
his first question was:
"Why didn t you run Into the cave.
colonel? That would have shielded you
from the bullalo.'
'Buffalo!" came tho panting bnt con
temptuous responses "why, general,
there's a bear in that cave as big as two
buffalo!'' Youth's Companion.
