And I hear that you did not plead suftlcltntly. You want to get lid of me, eh? You want to have me sent to Kolymsk to die, to that you can remain here alone and carry on with some other man." Yasha's words pained mo deeply. He always had been very Jealous, but the train of the imprisonment and Journey now made him more excitable. Be. sides, it was evident that some one from the Governor's office had com municated to him tho Intelligence that I had not sufficiently exerted myself in his behalf. I did not daro to tell him the truth, for that would have leant sure exllo to Kolymsk, and I still hoped against hope. "Yasha," I implored, "how can you My ouch things of mo?

Their own men mal treated them nnd were Hry, so that the women usually labored to sustain tho families. Some of tho Yakuts wero very wealthy, owning as many as a thousand head of deer and cjattle. Men, women and children alike dressed only In garments of fur. They made their bread of a coarse flour, ground by hand. There were about fifteen political exiles In Amga. Five of these wcro university graduates, and ono of them was Prince Alexander Gutcmurov, who had been arrested eight jcars before and had turned gray in exile. I was tho first Russian woman t,o como to Amga, and tho Joy of the small colony of politicals knew no bounds. As the Yakut women never wash clothes, tho filth in which the white men lived was unspeakable, and their unkempt appearance testified eloquently to the conditions surround ing them. Clean food, drinkable milk, could not bo had at any price. Money was cheap at Amga, Tho Prince, for Instance, received a monthly allowance of ono hundred rubles, but he could not get a bath for u thousand, 1 Immediately look charge of the situation, rented a small cabin at two rubles a month, and It soon became the social center of the colony, I had benches and a table made, and a bed constructed, I obtained flour at the general storo owned by Karlakin, who had been exiled there for a murder In 1904, and prospered through the estab lishing of this business. 1 baked real Russian bread, cooked a regular homo meal and made Russian tea, inviting all the politicals to dinner. It was a feast fit for the gods to them, and those of them who wero single asked me to board them regu larly, and I not only boarded them, but f washed and repaired their clothes as well. J had a hut turned Into a bath house and It was not long before the politicals looked human again. My duties In the house demanded all my tlmo and energy, but I was, happy In being able to serve. The men regard ed me as their mother, and never tired of praising me. I planted a garden and sowed some grain, as land was given by the com munity for tho asking, there being few settlers in spite of the natural riches of the region. The rivers In northern Siberia ore full of fish, and there Is no erld to the wealth ot timber. Within a touple of hundred versts from us gold mines wero being worked. On the strength of our ownership of tho butcher shop In Yakutsk wo wcro able to buy, on credit, a horse, and also boirow some money. My popularity with tho politicals Irritated Yasha. He grew Jealous of their kind words, now suspecting ono man of courting me und now another. As he had nothing to tlo, he nursed his jealousies till they expanded in his imagination. He took to playing cards, which Is very popular with the Yakuts, $5,000 arc now who like to gamble. This led gradu ally to his becoming a professional gambler. He would leave the home for some neighboring Yakut settlement and stay away, frequently for several days, spending all his time In gam bling. It finally became a habit with him. He would disappear, and re appear suddenly, only In different moods. When he won he would return all In smiles, with money Jingling In his pockets, bringing mo some presents, and displaying great generosity gen erally. But that was not the usual case. Most of the tlmo he lost, nnd then he would como back homo In gloom, depressed and dejected, nervous and Irritable, picking quarrels and act ing provoklngly, Especially was he aroused whenever he found some polit ical In tho house. Consumed by Jealousy, ho would taunt, me, nnd not infrequently resort to blows. "Yasha, have you lost your senses?" I would say. "Do you need Some money?

Nearly any one you ask could assure you of this. Mail order firms that receive direct orders in answer to their advertisements know what pays and what doesn't; what people read and what they don't read.' And yet, strangely enough mail order advertise ments are often very long; we knew one once that had 2200 words of fine type and it "ptuled" very profitably. People must read long advertisements, or these "keyed" many-worded announcements would not be profitable. On the other hand Cream of Wheat advertisements often have no text at all just a picture. With no other means of sales promotion, a great business has been created by this pretty picture advertising alone. Should advertisements be short or long? The whole subj'ect of advertising can not be safely jammed into a few epigrams. When you advertise, hire an expert to advise with you.
