    A WOMAN'S REASON
(Original.]
There was enough of incident con
centrated in the wedding day of 1 >r.
Dmitri UrbanieiY and Katharine Tons
koi, two young Russians of the mid
dle class, for a whole lifetime. I'r
banielf had returned from his medical
studies in Paris with a light heart, for
Katharine was expecting him, and they
were to be married soon after his ar
rival.
He found domesticated in the homo
of Katharine's father Count Alexle
vech, who had some months p.wious
appeared In the villi' e near by and '
who had brought a letter of introduc- 1
tion to Tonskoi. Kor what he came j
and how long he proposed to stay he -
gave no information. 1 Huitri, when he
found the young man so intimate with
the family of his sweetheart, wastrou- [
bled, but he soon made the discovery
that Katharine did not like the count, !
und tlila reassured him. Why she did
not fancy her father's guest was a puz
zle, for the doctor could see plainly
that the count seemed to desire her fa
vor. When Dmitri asked Katharine I
for a reason for her prejudice she gave
him no better one than that Alexicvoeh
was "cross eyed." Dmitri laughed at I
this feminine reason and thought no :
more about the matter.
The morning of the wedding day '
brought a shock to the community. A 1
dozen persons In the vicinity were ar- j
rested, and the most harrowing fea- |
ture was that the young doctor, who ;
was to have been married In the even- j
lng, was among them. The prisoners j
instead of being given a trial were liur- |
rled off to Siberia. Count Alexlevech j
appeared to be as surprised and indig- \
nant as any one and volunteered to
start at once for St. Petersburg, where
he claimed to have influence, to pro- I
cure the doctor's release. Dmitri was
earnest in his gratitude and begged
the count to strain every nerve to free
him before it should be too late. Kath- j
arine could only cling to her lover, de
spairing of over seeing him again.
After her lover's departure she passed
a few hours in an agony of despair.
Then suddenly a desperate resolve took
possession of her. She distrusted the
count's promise. Shortly previous to
the wedding day he had left her fa
ther's house and taken rooms in the
village. Katharine ordered a drosky
and drove to his rooms. Instead of j
•ending for him to come down she ran
upstulrs and knocked at his door. She
found hltn walking the floor.
"Why are you not on the way to St.
Petersburg?" she asked.
"I was too late for the 10 o'clock
train. There is no other till tomorrow."
"There is a train on the other road at
4 this afternoon. You have only to
drive five miles to it to catch it."
"Eh? Are yon sure? I don't believe
there is time."
"There is time. Come. I have a
dru.sky below. I will drive you my
self."
The count began to busy himself
with preparation, making a great deal
of fuss while doing very little. Katha
rine saw his revolver lying on a table.
"You will need this." she said, taking
It up and thrusting it in a pocket of
her dress. "Come, we have no time to
spare."
Aiexievech, cramming some brushes
Into a bag, accompanied her downstairs.
They got into the drosky. Katharine
seized the reins and drove away as
fast as the horse would carry them.
Ah they were passing through a
wood Katharine complained that her
fingers were numb and asked the count
to take the reins. He had no sooner
done so than he felt something hard
pressed against his neck and heard the
click of a pistol.
"Fiend," said Katharine, "I know all.
You are one of the chiefs of police and
have been ferreting out this plot. You
have implicated Dmitri to get him
out of the way the better to get me
Into your clutches. I hate you, and I
am going to kill you."
"Katharine! For heaven's sake, of
what are you accusing ine?"
"Write an order for the release of
Dmitri or I lire."
"But I have no authority."
"Write."
The count. who had by this time
caught a glance of the girl's desperate
face, took out his notebook, tore out
a leaf, wrote the order and gave it to
her.
"Drop the reins and get out of the
drosky," she suid. He obeyed, ami
Katharine, whipping up the horse, was
•oon out of sight.
She knew that the routo the prison
ers had taken was the one she was on.
their conductor intending to take them
on the train she had proposed to the
count to take. She soon overtook the
party, produced the order, which was
respected, her lover got into the drosky
aud they drove homeward. When ap
proaching the village they saw tlie
count ahead of them. He was walking
with his head bent down on his breast.
When they came up to him he looked
up as though inn dream. Dmitri go',
out of the drosky and demanded sntM
faction for the wrong that had been
done him. The count looked at Kath
arine with a hopeless expression, ask
ed her to give Dmitri the revolver
and bared his breast Dmitri turned
away, got into the drosky and, without
• word from him or Katharine to the
count, drove on.
At the hour that had been announced
for the wedding the bride and groom
were ready, and, as tin- news of Dml
tri's release had spread like wild tire,
the guests were assembled. The cere
mony passed as quietly as had been
expected.
When the bride and groom were
alone together Dmitri asked:
"Katharine, how did you know the
man was the cause of my arrest?"
"I didn't like the squint in his eyes,"
was her confident reply.

Turkey, north Africa and parts of

same root word in nearly all these

camel. The language itself, according
to Hammer Purgstall, knows him by
5.744 nanus. The only reason why
Scripture is comparatively silent is be
cause the topography of the 11..1y

use of the camel is an impossibility.

Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were
common In Europe two centuries ago.
The bottles were often made of one |
skin doubled up and closely stitched |
together, leaving an aperture for the j
neck. The thick piece between was in
serted for the slip. It was meant to bo ,
slung at the back, a leather thong pass
ed through two loops placed on either
side of the neck, and it was sufficiently
flat at the base to stand when put
flown. The stopper was made of wood,
horn or old leather. A good deal of
care was required in the preparation
of the leather, which had to be oiled j
nnd worked with hammers to make it
supple and then washed with a lye so j
that all the impurity was entirely re- j
moved, leaving the leather clean and '
dry. No moisture or air had any effect
on It. Blackjacks were, in fact, flagons :
made in various sizes. They were !
sometimes pitched inside.

INVESTING MONEY,
Hi* Sure of Vour lii'forp You
HIML. Your MIVIIIKN.
Don't tie yourself or your money up.
Don't risk all your savings in any
scheme, no matter how much it may
promise Don't invest your hard earn
ed money in anything without lirst
making a thorough and searching in
vestigation. Do not be misled by those
who tell you that It is "now or never"
and that if you wait you are liable to
lose the best tiling that ever came to
you. Make up your mind that if you
lose your money you will not lose your
head and that you will not invest In
Anything until you thoroughly under
stand all about it. There are plenty
of good things waiting. If you miss
one there are hundreds of others. Peo
ple will tell you that the opportunity
will go by and you will lose a great
chance to make money if you do not
act promptly. But take your time and
investigate. Make it a cast iron rule
never to Invest In any enterprise until
you have gone to the very bottom of It,
and if it is not so sound that level
headed men will put money in it do not
touch it. The habit of investigating
before you embark in any business will
be a happiness protector and an ambi
tion protector as well. Orison Swett
Marden in Success.
"it always makes me tired," said «r.
old barber, "when a man tells me to
quit wasting so much time rubbing In
the lather and hurry along with his
shave. If In; only knew it, he is laying
a sure foundation for a chapped and
sore face. The reason for using soap in
shaving is to remove the grease al
ways close to the skin and on the sur
face of the bej'id. This cannot be done
without rubbing It well in. Many per
sons who shave themselves do not un
derstand this and wonder why they
have sore faces. They blame the bay
rum and change off to witch hazel or
something else. Rubbing the soap in
well makes the beard soft and pliable.
It also lessens the chances of the razor
slipping. Always rub the lather well
In with the fingers, never with the
brush."

lit "Uomeo .'Did Juliet" lli*.' servants ,
of fapulet and Montague begin a quar- i
rel by one biting liis tbninli at the otb- j
ers. <'ommentators have regarded this j
act iis an Insult, quoting the following
passage from 1 >eeker's "Dead Term:"
"What swearing is there, what shoul
dering, what jostling, what jeering,
what biting of thumbs to beget quar- !
rels!"
Sir Walter Scott, however, in a note |
to the "Lay of the Last Minstrel," says, j
"To bite the thumb or the glove seems i
not to have been considered upon the I
border as a gesture of contempt,
though so used by Shakespeare, but as
a pledge of mortal revenge." It was
thus accounted to be a solemn assur
ance that at the proper time the sword
should settle the dispute or purge the
offense.
Something of the sort may have pre
vailed among the Humans, for it is
thought that the Latin polliceri, to
promise, is derived from pollex, the
thumb.

"Snakes and hyenas an* strange i>ets,
but strangest «>f all is a full srown ti
ger, and such a pet had Major Mansell
-I'leydell," says A. Mervyn Smith in ids
book. "II used to be chained up just lu
front of tin' door of his bungalow. The
major iiad a method of running up
bills with local tradesmen, but there
was great difficulty In getting pay
ment, as none of the bill collectors was
venturesome enough to cross the
guardian at the door. It was a great
joke of the major's when asked to pay
his bill to reply: 'Have you sent your
bill? Your man lias never presented it
at my bouse.' Itrutus, as the tiger was
named, seemed to know what was re
quired of him. When chained before
ids master's door he would lie with his
head between ids forepaws and watch
the gate. If a stranger entered he
would lift his head and breathe heav
ily, and this was enough to scare the
most venturesome of Id!' collector? "
I'rPKMi'd for Time.
Judge Knott Why did you rob this
man in broad daylight? Prisoner —I
couldn't help it, your honor. I had an
engagement every night that week.
Nothing has ever equalled it.
Nothing can ever surpass it.
