THE MEETING AT THE EORGE. IT was characteristic of Frances Gordon that, no matter how great the stress of social or other du ties, her mind never lost room for such favorite schemes as were clos est to her heart. It was by reason of this characteris tic that, while her busy father was deep in the mysteries and intricacies of the Moscow conference, the subtleties of which increased as the time for sep aration and departure drew nearer, Frances bethought her of a lltting op portunity to make good a promise she had made t„ Vladimir Paulpoff, the blacksmith. During a conversation held several weeks before Vladimir had expressed a desire to study certain books which were apparently beyond his reach. Frances promised to obtain the books, and she did so. These made quite a re spectable package, and a drosky was called to convey her to the railway sta tion. It was nothing new for Frances to travel alone as far as from Moscow to Perm, but on this occasion her father, ( with some sort of premonition, begged ] her to send the books by messenger. j "Oil, no," she said in her quiet man ner of insistence. "We are about to re turn to the east, and I shall not see poor Vladimir for a long time." "Hang Vladimir!" exclaimed Gordon as he saw his self willed young lady fctep into the drosky. Haviug alighted at Perm, she hired another drosky to take her and the precious books to the'forge. The driver was a huge, surly indi vidual, whose face was covered with a thick mass of beard and whose voice, when speaking to oue not established as his superior, was heavy and iuso leut. Responding to the call of Frances, he swung his heavy drosky in toward the door of her hotel. A police inspector stood near, and the driver saluted in humility. "I hate women!" he said to himself. "They pay nothing and have things happen to them. 1 shall get into trou ble before I lose her." Frances stepped toward the vehicle, and the driver's mouth opened. "Such a woman!" muttered the dros ky driver. "She must be English or ao American. If she was a Russian, she would be a princess." Frances had had ample experience with his class in all parts of Russia. She calmly stepped into the drosky aud handed him a silver coin. "I want togo to the iron shops of the Paulpoffs, on the South road." she said. "Paulpoff- Michael Paulpoff aud his sou Vladimir. Do you kuow theraV" "Yes, 1 kuow them. But do you know-what has happened';" "No. Has any oue been illV" "No; but"— The police inspector came up. "Any trouble here?" he asked sharp ly- "Trouble? Oh, no!" replied Frances. "I was just asking the driver some questions." "Where is it you wish togo?" "To the ironworkers'—Paulpoff." A warning look that meant volumes to tlie initiated shot from the inspector to the driver. The horses were whipped up, and the vehicle rolled clumsily over the road. "You said something had happened," said Frances. "Is any oue sick at the Paulpoffs?" "No; it wasn't that," answered the driver. "But the rain yesterday broke up the road. 1 did not think you would wish to come." "Nonsense! There must be a safe way to get there." In truth the way was as safe and comfortable as It had ever been, but the warning look of the inspector had prevented the driver from imparting the knowledge he had of the I'aulpoffs. "Let the police tell their own tales— they are always true then according to police standards," muttered the driv er. It was a long drive to the forge, and when the drosky drew near, having passed through the wild and almost unsettled region between it mid Perm. Frances was struck with au air of mystery that seemed to have suddenly enveloped the place. There was no sound of the tiemen dous blows of Vladimir that sent the ring of steel far into the foiesi No smoke came from tliu chimneys. Old Mamma Paulpoff had been wont to run to her door to see every arrival, but she was not to lie seen. The wolfhound 'hat had been Vladi mir's pet sat whining upon the porch and was evidently weak with hunger. "Old Boris!" cried Krautes, leaping from the drosky. "Where Is yuui hand some master V" The hound, who remembered her. placed his cold nose in her hand lov ingly. Me seemed to feei that he had found a friend Frances stepped to the duor and push ed it opto "Oh!" she < rlert She hail opened the door on Prince Nicholas Neslerov. who stood there, about to depart, evidently, with a paint lug under his arm "Mile Gordon " he said, with a bow and sinil" "Where are the Paulpoffs?" she nsk «d. "Why, you have not, then, been in formed of their misfortune?" "Misfortune' l knew nothing of any misfortune What has happened?" "They are dead." "Dead! All the I'aulpoffs dead! Im possible! I'apa I'aulpoff and Mamma Paulpoff might die, they were so old, but Vladimir! Impossible! So young and powerful! Nothing but the weapon o? an enemy could kill him in this healthy place." "I spoke as we speak, mademoiselle. The I'aulpoffs are not really dead. We ;peak of a man who is caught iu crime ind sent off exiled—as dead. He is lead to his friends and to the world, foil understand?" 112 iances • .rood rigid and white, the •ackage of books forgotten In the lands of the drosky driver Her nails •It into the tender flesh of her eliucli d hands. Her eyes studied the face 112 the governor of Tomsk. "Vladimir has not been caught in any rime." sh,- said, with 1 -ort of gasp. Impossible! He was so simple and uiest! \S hat crime?" "Conspiracy against his imperial ajesty the czar." "And where is lie now?" "On the way to Siberia." "Siberia! Vladimir Paulpoff sent to Siberia! Am' where are his parents?" '"One iu a family taken red handed condemns all. The old people are also on their way to Siberia." Frances swayed a little. She had studied Russian customs and Russian justice and shuddered as she realized the horrible torture iu store for these simple work people who had never, she felt convinced, harbored an evil thought against any man. To her they had al ways spoken in terms of loyalty and praise of the czar. The face of Xeslerov was inscrutable. He held the picture loosely and care lessly. and the girl caught a glimpse of the face. "That is Vladimir's picture!" she cried. "What ate you doing with it?" "I am sending it to him," was the re ply of Neslerov "it so happened that I had occasion to visit my chateau near Graslov and rode bv here at the time the inspector of police was making the arrest. 1 remembered what you said to me at Moscow and tried to do what I could for the poor fellow, at first doubt ing his guilt. But Ihe inspector was certain, and so all that was left to uie was to ask Vladimir what favor I couhl perform for him He asked me to send him this picture, and 1 have ar ranged with the governor of Perm to permit it to be passed along to him." "It is a beautiful face." said Frances. "Vladimir lias the soul of a great art ist in him But in Siberia he" She shuddered ami euded her sen tence abruptly. "I have done more for him, for you." continued Neslerov. "There is another picture—he painted from memory. 1 have arranged to purchase it for a good price, and he shall not lose the money I promised him. It was a beginning to certain steps 1 had thought of to assist Idm " "My own face!" cried Fiances in as tonishment as Neslerov showed the second picture. "Yes, and the remarkable part of it is It took him hut a short time. 1 describ ed you. and he remembered you, and between the two he managed a very creditable work. 1 shall cherish this picture while I live. "My picture!" murmured the girl again, looking at the sweet yet strong young face the blacksmith artist had placed upon the canvas. "And all from memory!" "Yes, from memory and my descrip tion." saiil Xeslerov. "Your fate is so indelibly imprinted upon my memory that 1 could dt scribe each line, each feature, with the ntmost accuracy " She looked at him in astonishment. He had made frequent attempts to make love to tier, but she had always skillfully r< pulsed him. That this could be true —that this man whose life was one round of pleasure should have her face so impressed upou his mind seem ed to her incredible. "Rut you will befriend him," site said, without answering his remark. "You are powerful in Russia. A large part of Siberia is under your control. You can make the life of the PaulpolTs pler.sant there if you wish." He bowed. and his eyes were hidden from her. '"Believe me, 1 have already taken stej»s to befriend tliem. In Tomsk there is great need of snolt ironworkers now that the railroad has pone beyond I lie Obi. and I have sent my petition to the minister of justice to have them sent to Tomsk. They will not be treated as couvicts, but as honorable workers." "What was tin? crime?" asked Fran ces. She was very pale, but quite calm. "Why, it became known to Inspector Jansky of the police thai a certain num ber of men congregated here and seem ed to hold see ret meetings, lie investi gated and discovered that this was the headqnaiters of a circle of nihilists. 11.- arrested tln-m nil. tint many cs taped."

I had no pity for him, because he was rich, educated and had no reason to complain. Hut the Paulpoffs—now lhat I know you are Interested in iheiu— 1 will protect them from further harm." "I thank you." said Franees sadly Neslerov slipped a coin into thr hand of the drosky driver ami he immedi ately had cause togo to his horses, which were standing peacefully enough where he left them "i wish to speak on- 1 word before we leave here said tlit- prince, taking the hand of Frances, which she, in her stir prise, permitted him to hold a moment.

Will you be my wife, my princess?" "Prince Neslerov," said Frances gen tly, but still in a tone of reproof, "you cannot mean, I am sure, to take ad vantage of my situation, alone and at your mercy. You are a gentleman. I'lease leave such words for n more tit ting occasion." "All occasions are the same to a man who loves as I do." answered Neslerov. "1 asked your father, lie treated the matter as of no concern. To me it is my life.

"Ev erybody has sooner or later to live without a loved one. Mv fattier—l my mother died many years ago. He loved her. He has been true to her memory, but he has lived.'' "Ah, but that is not tlie same tiling at all. Had I possessed you for a time and lost you at the command of death, then I could live, happy in the blessed memory. Hut to love you and lose you to another! Ah. I would kill him!" "You are mad Such words do not Inspire love in the heart of an Ameri can girl. Fools kill their rivals, but it is a poor revenue I do not love you, prince, and so eannot marry yon. I.et that end the matter. I must now re turn to Moscow." "You shall not go till you are mine!" cried Neslerov. driven to madness hy her coldness. He sprang forward and slammed the door, shutting them alone in the unoccupied house. He stepped toward her. His breath ta me hot upon her cheeks. Mis arms were outstretch ed to seize her. There was a look of mad passion in his eyes. She knew no help was mar or possi ble. The drosky drivei was a Russian and would not tight the prince. She might scream, but her voice could not reach within two miles of the nearest house. The threatening lips, the touch of which would be pollution were near her own. Willi a quick movement she slipped hci I.Mini into her pocket. "Stand bu< i you insulter'" she said. - ■ "Stall'. l I " ' won insnlt< with a colli, steely voice. The shining barrel of a revolver was thrust into Ins lace. It was not a large weapon and \\a> ornamented with sil \ ei. but it was large enough to do ex ecutant at -Imi t i.atige, and it was al mo-t in Xeshrov's very mouth. He staggered back, taken by surprise, oil site dev iilie cried. With an upwatd motion he made as if to kniK k the ievi>lvci from her hand. She bent the bun I downward The contact with his hand exploded one cartridge. The flash blinded him. There was a nd n-ark on his forehead where the bullet grazed the skull. Half stunned and cursing, lie fell back. Opining the door, Frances walked out. The drosky driver was waiting. He hail heard ihe shot. "Do you see this?" she demanded, pointing the revolver at his head. "Yes," he stammered. "1 have just shot I'rince Xeslerov. If you do not take me to the railway sta tion at Perm and get me there before he o\e: takes us. 1 will empty the other four bullets into your head." "Gel in,"he mumbled. Then to him self he said: "These American women are de\lis! They are better fighters than the t'ossacks!" (to bk continued.] TRANSPLANTED TREES. Why They Frequently Keniain lloif mailt a Whole Son mo n. Certain kinds of trees frequently re main dormant all summer, following spring transplanting To all appear ances they are dead, and they are an eyesore to the owner till removed. The writer of this h.. seen wistari as, horse chestnuts, ashes and tulip trees remain perfectly dormant all summer and come out safely into leaf the following spring. It seems contra ry to nature that trees should live without the leaves, which we learn are their lungs and essential for evap oration and assimilation of food in the growing season. Explanation of this peculiar action is had by studying for a moment the conditions that probably exist. The roots of such trees have been dis turbed and their feeding powers sud denly checked. They are called upon to support the tops as formerly, yet their opportunity for the time being is gone. A struggle is going on. The tops make a feeble effort to put forth buds and draw on the roots for nourishment with poor success. The roots yield of their stored food, but are too weak or are not in a position to make new feeding fibers. If the tops have not been pruned, the drain is so much the greater. Where leaves p™ forth, tran spiration would be more than the trees could stand, and they would gradual ly die away.—Median's Monthly. A Ilurd I.ni-k Tale With n StinK. It was not a new hard luck tale to the man to whom it was told. The young man, neatly dressed and dapper looking, was not out of work, had not lost his purse, was not poverty strick en at all, but lie had come down from Itye togo over to Newark and In changing Ills clothes had forgotten to transfer his pocketbook to the trousers he put on. "I hate to ask the favor of a stran ger," the young man said, "but really It would save me much embarrassment if you could let me have a couple of dollars until tomorrow." "Indeed I can't do it," said the man, for he believed not a word of the tale, and he left the disconsolate youth at the post office and, meeting a friend, invited liim to luncheon and told him of ids "gentleman beggar." When the waiter handed him a check, the two had agreed that the story was highly improbable, but a moment later the doubting man gave a start. "By Jove!" lie exclaimed. "I've left my pocketbook in my other trousers!" —New York Times. The Advance In Paper Milking. When Ulman Stromer long ago estab lished paper making in Germany, he had no foresight of tlie important posi tion paper was destined to assume in the civilization of man. In Stromer's time paper was a rare material, little used and only to be found in the offices of the learned, of scribes and of officers. The supply of Germany and of all northern Europe was brought from Italy and Spain—most of it from the factories of Fabriano, 111 Italy, where paper mills existed in the twelfth cen tury, while a lively paper industry flourished in Spain, *itli its principle seat at San Felipe, in Valencia, as early as 1150. The paper making art was introduced into botli of thesu lands by the Arabs, who learned it in Samarcand and spread it through Europe. It was intro duced into Samarcand in 7iil l»y Chi nese prisoners from their country, where it had been carried on from ex tremely ancient times. A Snake Story From India. A queer story of the cure of a snake bite conies from India. A young man bitten by a venomous snake was evi dently dying. The mob called in re solved to try the most powerful rem edy he knew, lie tied a cowrie shell onto a piece of string and muttered incantations till it began to whirl round and round and lhtally disap peared. In a few minutes the snake that had done the damage appeared with the string and shell round its neck and was commanded by the nioh to put its mouth to the wound for about ten minutes, alter which it went away. The dying man speedily re covered. The nrlti*H Sean. The seas around the coast of the Brit ish isles are mostly narrow.

ADVOCATING REMOVAL OF CANAL BRIDGES Oue of the uext subjects which will engage flu' attention of our borough fathers will be the removal of the bridges across the canal in the bor ough. The Pennsylvania Canal Com pany some time ago made a proposi tion to property owners ou whose lands the bridges occur, looking to a remov al ot the structures. A number of farmers above and below town have acted upon the proposition and remov ed the bridges. At the last meeting of Council much regret was expressed among the mem bers that instead of ordering a new iron bridge at a heavy cost for Ma honing Creek at Center street the bor ough had not removed one of its own iron bridges from the canal to that point. Allowing for the cost of remov al and the construction of a culvert to replace the bridge it was urged that the measure would have resulted in the saving of many hundred dollars for the borough. The question is pertinently asked why any of the canal bridges in town are tolerated, if no longer necessary. Each of them is accompanied by a steep grade which makes crossing diffi cult with a heavy load. If the bor ough has no use for the bridges else where they might be sold to the coun ty, while the culverts or structures of what ever form are needed to replace them could be economically built on a level that would make travel easy. Looking down Mill street the un sightly elevation at the canal inter poses as an obstacle to shut out much of the view of the lower thoroughfare and it does not require a great im agination to picture what an improve ment would be effected should the street there be cut down to the gener al level. It is true, that while the abandoned canal in many phases is a nuisance it serves oue good purpose, namely, in times ot flood to harmlessly carry off the excess of water which breaks over the river bank above town. This fact is not lost sight of by those who ad vocate the removal of the canal bridges All that is necessary would be in re placing the bridges to construct the culvert of sufficient capacity to meet the problem of high water. Civil Oases 011 Trial List. The Commissioners of Montour coun ty have received from the State De partment, at Harrisburg.a copy of the official ballot to be voted at the No vember election. It will be oue of the largest ever known in tlie state as it contains nine columns, eight ot which will be taken up by nominations and one left blank for the insertion of nanus by the voter, if he so desires.

Two Were Killed Under an Engine. Yard master Samuel Rucli, of Lyk ens, and Fireman Warrau E. Keiger, of Suuhury, were killed Monday afternoon by being caught under an engine which jumped the track and rolled down an embankment. John Fox, the engineer, was badly scalded, and Harry Sarvis, a btakemau, was seriously injured. The homes of all are in Suuhury and the family of Yardmaster Kuch resides there. The engine, which took an extra work train to Lvkens, jumped the track and fell down the bank, carry ing the four men with it. All are well-known railroad men. Yardmaster Kuch was foiinerly stationed at Sun bury but was promoted several years ago aad transferred to Lykeus. The conductor of the train was William Wetzel, also of Suuhury.

A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a flower bed is very beneficial in keep ing the soil fresh. In plowing in the orchard always turn tin' furrow toward the tree, and be careful not to injure the tine, fibrous roots. The life of an apple tree is often short 1 ned because it grows in a poor, exhausted soil or one not properly drain* d. When ill or ailing, handle the (lowers little or wear gloves. Delicate plants are sensitive to human magnetism, good or bail. The roots of the strawberry <>ft( ■. reach out five feet from the main stem; hence the plants should not be set too thickly. An apple or cherry tree ! s much more valuable if it shoots out low. Trim from the top, as this will cause the lower branches to grow out.
