Grapes, pluint, apples and peaches the major stock f his store. In fact were displayed In heterogeneous profusion on racks thut loped forward from tho window line over more than halt the sidewalk. Across the stieet came Policeman Btrongburger, Idly swinging his club. The sight of the approaching uniform threw fear Into Morltz. Outwardly ho maintained a calm, suavo front, but Inwardly ho quaked. He did not know why. hut ho did; he always did. for this distrust of the man in tml. form was deeply grained. It sprang from something back of his present mercantile life and back ot Phlladcl phla, far back In Moscow or A lenna or mayhap In Little Russia back of himself even. In the long genciatlons that lay behind him nnd behind the history ot his people. His father, at the sight of the man In uniform, had always whispered maledictions Into his beard. -Cover up that fruit. Morltz! di rected the bluecoat. Something Jump ed Inside of Morltz. "Cover It up?" he quavered appre. henslvely. "That's the law," growled the police- man. There's law anil "Law" "But," and Morltz mancuvcicd a pleading, deprecatory smile on to hli wizened features, as recognizing that the officer would have his little Joke.( "But chust look. Mister Policeman! Morltz waved his hand up the street On all sides weio the fruit-stocks of .mall merchants, exposed In licaped-up sprawling boxes us v.ero the fruits of Morltz. and not a sheet ot glass, not a yard of mosqulto-nettlng cscti, pio t.lted them from the,noatlng dust or flying germs. "'- '?'?- "Cover It up. T say!" barked btions burgcr, Impatient of protest. "Efen. uptown, Mister Strongburg er. In der Qoylshcr neighborhood, dey don't efen cover up deir stands.' "Say, Bosenscwelg! What the blazes do you know about what they do uptown?. W you was to get up to Broad Street even, you couldn t flpd your way back hcie v,lthout a guide. You cover It-see! U hem things ain't under glass or netting when I come back in an hour its a llde in the wagon for you." Strong-burger moved along, munch ing one of Morltz's apples. The Jew, rooted to the uneven brick pavement, watched weakly the leisurely progress of the officer, anxious to see if ho would tell Cohen also to cover up Ills fruit. Evidently Btrongburger did not ee Cohen's fruit, nor Isensteln's, nor Toczylowskl's. Morltz sighed resignedly, but. suc ceeding this, a stubborn stiffening ot the lips hinted that some tenacity ot aoul was housed in his weak and Ill developed body. Calling Rachel, his wife, to come forth from her back loom and mind the Bhop, tho Jew slipped covertly Into Goldberg's Fair, where he made grudging purchases of the necessary yards of mosquito bar, choosing red as tho least objectionable color. Its effect, however, was Inevitably depressing. Tho appealing brightness of his apples and .the seductive suggestion ot lus ciousness In peach and grapo and plum was veiled, filtered and almost oblit erated by the netting. An occasional customer was attracted, nevertheless in part, no doubt, by tho wistful yearning in the face of the little mer chant. "Ach!" scorned some ot them. "What for should you be so partlcklcr, Morltz?" Making the Beit of'It "Tou Want the fruit clean, ain't It?" camouflaged Morltz stoutly. "If you should come out to buy fly ehpecks Cohen's grapes would got a thousand to the bunch." But,if the success of such sarcasms enabled Bosenscwelg to doubt that his business was under a ban, the doubts were soon dissipated by the demeanor of i his rivals, for Cohen, young Sam Isensteln and Toczjrlowskt eaclt man aged excuse for strolling by and gloat ing with ill-concealed smiles on the dismal effect ot lumpy-looking heaps under red mosquito-bar. Nevertheless. Morltz maintained his front and did a fair business through the afternoon until four o'clock, when Policeman Btrongburger wenti off duty. At 4:15, Strongburger'a relief, Officer Hellman had proceeded on the first of nis rounun pw o uim turner on e Bouth street at which Btrongburger S had appeared first this afternoon to h MorlU. From, this as an observation poet, the officer cocked an eye across r to Boaenscwelg'a place. .Seeming to f.'HAti tiA chansra and it Annmi,.. t. v HrAW near, aa if to aitmlro t.,. ! watflilnir nnrmvlw nK Jutttw Aim n watfthfwl nil .. , tivift - - "-" "- - wail in w that tm IaaI. . -... - J- MUV1 BSJl- '" n.v mhi- atrip T IN THE BELL MACFARLANE IN FIRST INSTALLMENT Public l.tdotr ro.

Further, Grener said, It was a mistake to see In thL the re-establish-ment of the monarchic principle. Arrests have been made, among per sons connected with tne Itada. The correspondent of a paper In Kiev says former Grand Djke Dmitri Pavlovltch took an active part In the coup d'etat, and that the former Dow ager Empress, Marie Feodorovna, has arrived at Kiev. Skoropadskl was one of her pages. It is curious to note that Skoropadskl as late as 1911 pub licly declared that tho Ukraine sepa ratlst movement was the fruit of Aus trian Intrigue. Since then he and other politicians of the Ilight have shown that they prefer Cermany to revolution. An evening paper prints a strange In terview with Nlcolal duchkov, ex-Mayor of Moscow, from which It seems that duchkov Is very well-informed about the plans of the Ukrainian reactionaries.
