A SENTRY'S LOVE. It Is Rewarded After Years of Waiting. I|j'< j!lh crime of ' ron * the mine sion of tlio cir cumstances of the prisoner's escape, and the motives which induced you to be false to the trust imposed on you. We understand that you dispute the correctness of some of the witnesses' statements. We warn you to speak* the strict truth. Stand attention." As the president finished, a slim young fellow, standing between two glittering bayonets, drew himself up to "attention," glanced at tho specta tors and faced the court. "Go on," said the president. "Your excellency," began the sol dier, "I don't want mercy, and I don't expect it; but you have asked tno to tell the truth, and I tell it. It was ou a Saturday night, snowing hard and bitterly cold. Sergt. Petroff marched mo up to the entrance of Gorkaya-Ballca inine and I relieved the sentry on duty there. I was to remain until midnight, and I received the usual orders to stop anyone who tried SUE CAME OVER THE SNOW. to enter or leave tho gallery, and to Bhoot them if they persisted. I was shivering with cold, and kept tramp ing about in front of the entrance to keep warm. After the barrack clock had struck ten, I noticed some one crouching in the shadow of the old toolhouso—a woman, I thought. It seemed darker there than out in the open. The snow was driving in my face. I felt queer and timid that night. Turning sharply round at the end of my beat farthest from tho house, I saw approaching me the figure of n woman in black. I got opposite the entry into the gallery, and stood silent. • I don't know why I felt scared. There was no one else about or nearer than the overseer's house. She came swiftly over tho snow, and her face was cov ered with a veil. I couldn't speak; it was as if my tongue was frozen. She put her hands on my shoulders, and looked up into my face." "What was she like?" demanded the president. "Your Excellency, I cannot describe her. I only saw her eyes, then, and they were on fire and went right through me. She told me much that I cannot recall, for I was looking, not listening. But at last I understood her to be talking of her brother in the mine. She said she had come all the way from Russia to see him, and that he was dying. "She said that if I would let her into the mine for a few moments she would always pray for me, and devote her whole life to making me happy. "Her great black eyes bewitched me, and 1 believed her. I said nothing, but pointed to the mine, and in a moment she had fled into the dark opening to the gallery. I never thought of what I was doing. I was dazed, and stood Stock still, and the snow kept falling all the time and tho night was grow ing darker. I had my eyes fixed on tho entrance, and saw the figure emerge and run toward me. " 'Soldier,' she said, 'you have made me happy for life. Make yourself hap py and fly with us. Let my brother pass. I will lead you and him to a place wliero we will be happy togeth er. Be good to me, soldier, and I will give you all you ask from me. I will be yours; I will live for s'ou and die for you.' "Don't smile, excellency. I was in toxicated with her words. I believed her. Her arms were around my neck and her face was lovely as tho Madon na's. I seized my rifle and flung it with all my strength out into tho snow. She put a file into my hands and I followed her to tho gallery. > There the darkness was thicker still, but we groped our way to where a man stood chained to a thick wooden istanchion. I knew what I had to do. The man said nothing, but the woman kissed me— kissed me, excellency. So I worked like a madman. Ho was soon free. We reached the entrance as the bar rack clock was striking eleven. There was a whole hour yet before the guard would be changed. We ran through tlio little wood and crossed the frozen river, and away beyond a wide, open space, where the snow was very deep, we entered tlio pine woods. "The woman knew where she was leading us, for we came to a hut where we found clothes and food. I buried my unifoAn i n the snow. All that night we moved rapidly through thp WiiPdSt k&rdly jipeaklpg to one another at first. Itut the man and woman went on in front, walking- arm in arm, anil often they kissed one another, laughing and crying in turns. When I was close to them they some times spoke French, As soon as it was light I never let my eyes leave her face. Her eyes were large and dark, but her hair was like gold, and hung down her back wet on her black cloak." "Stand at 'attention,' s>r!" said the president, sharply. The prisoner stood erect again and resumed his story. "The morning was clear and frosty. The man had fallen several times dur ing the night. His strength was gone. I saw lie was as pale as death, and blood oozed from his mouth. The woman grew frantic with fear that be would be caught. The man, however, could go no further. He lay down on the snow, just as we were leaving the woods and coming out on the steppe. I thought he would have died. I took him in my arms and carried him verst after verst until my strength was gone, and I felt fever coming over mo. But the woman never noticed me, aud once or twice, when I turned to look at her from under my burden, I saw that her eyes were fixed on the face of the man I carried. I could hold out no longer. I fell on the snow and fainted. Ilovv long I lay there I can not say. Whether or not I dreamed lam unable to tell the court. I don't think it could have been a dream. I thought I saw a troika come noise lessly over the snow and heard tlio breathing of horses." "Do you mean to toll the court this was a dream? Can you give no further particulars about the troika or its driver?" interrupted the president. "No, your excellency; the horses were black, I thought, and I know their eyes shone brightly; the sledge also seemed to be black. It came si lently, it went away with gently-ring ing bells, like silver bells. When I came to my senses it was snowing hard. The wet flakes woke me, I think. I gazed around me on all sides. I was alone. I thought of my dream. There were no hoof marks, no traces i of sledge runners, nothing but the level, trackless snow. Perhaps the show had filled up the track, perhaps —perhaps there was some otherYca son. Your excellency, I felt myself forsaken. I could not understand it. I was mad and cried aloud. Suddenly I noticed, pinned to my coat, a scrap of paper with pencil writing on it. It was taken from me when I gave my self up, but I'll never forget the words: *We cannot take you with us further. Save yourself as best you can. My husband and I will always pi ay for you.' Oh, excellency, I saw it all then and sat down in the snow and wept and cursed. I loved that woman. Yes, I was a fool." "And a traitor," interpolated the president, scowling. "And a traitor, if your excellency says so, but I did not think of that then. I thought only of my love, of how I hail been betrayed, of my hurt pride. Your excellency knows the rest." "The sentence of the court is that Private Trofim Stoyan take the place of the escaped prisoner in the mine at Gorknya-Ballca. lie will remain there during the pleasure of his imperial niajestry." That evening the young soldier was chained to the stanchion. Three years later a man and a woman en Ellis island suddenly encounter each other. She starts and gasps: "The soldier!" While he exclaims: "The woman!" There is no time for more. She has passed the inspectors and hurried to the little steamer that is to convey her to New York. He is pushed buck, for the inspectors may not reach his case for a day or two. But ho lands at last. Where shall he find her? He finds employment, aud then for six months spends all his leis "THE SOLDIER!" uro in the quest. At last he meets her. She is coming out of a theatre. He touches her sleeve. No word is spoken then, but, as if by mutual instinct, they enter the nearest cafe. Five minutes later he has said: "I have always loved you. You be long to me. Since you say your hus band is dead, you are mine." ' "But you have no money," glancing at his shabby clothes. "I can earn it," he pleads. "A man who loves as I do can fail in noth ing." The next day they were married by . a priest of the Greek church. Was it love or gratitude that prompted tho woman, upon her third brief meeting, to grant so much? The priest, gazing after them as they departed, murmured: "I have united a goddess and a hero." —N. Y. Journal. Husle's Explanation.

Vwo Pretty Designs Which Can He Made at Small Cost. In these days when hat pins are as much of a fud and of a necessity with al, us stick pins, it is desirable that ap propriate receptacles be provided for them in order that thsy shall not mar the dainty toilet cushion with their huge perforations. Where a suspended cushion seems most convenient the al ways attractive little Japanese doll , may be utilized. Choose one with a head measuring sis inches in circum ference. To dress one, as shown in Fig 2 in the illustration, fold a half- { yard of tlu-ee-inch ribbon together and crease it to designate the bottom of I th cushion. Sew thirteen small gilt ! spangles along the bottom, with a gilt bead in the middle of each to fasten it on. Overhand the sides of the ribbon to within an inch and a half of the op posite end; stuff with hair or wool and fasten it around the doll's neck. A half yard of the same ribbon is cut in ) two and folded lengthwise for the j sleeves; overhand, turn in the ends at j the bottom, and attach to the dress at ] the shoulder. Now take a yard and a | quarter of half-inch ribbon, fasten it j over the shoulder and tie about the j waist with bow and ends in front, al- j though the really Japanese lady al ways wears her sash ends behind, neatly tucked up into a sort of roll 01- j cushion. A loop of this same ribbon is 1 fastened to the belt in the back to sus- ! pend the cushion by. Decorato the j sleeves and shoulder straps with ( spangles and beads, and finish with a fringe of the beads. Letter on the j skirt "Ilat Pins" in gilt, forming the ' letters to look as much like Japanese characters as possible. The standard cushion shown in Fig. 1 requires a bit of thin cardboard, five by nine inches, for the sides of the Pio. 1. FIG. 2. foundation, and a circular picco two and a half inches in diameter for the bottom. Cover these with any pretty scrap of silk or plush, fitting the out side snugly about the cardboard, which you liavo sewn in a cylinder; sew in a piece three and a half Inches in diam eter for the top, leaving un aperture through which you may stuff the cush ion, rounding up the top. If all your toilet appointments are white, cover this with a ruffle of lace of fine dotted Swiss, and tie at the top with bows and loops of narrow ribbon.—American Agriculturist. HARDWOOD FLOORS. They Should Always lie Swept with * Covered Broom. The hardwood iloor is comparatively a new feature of the house, aud it is uot altogether strungo that housekeeper:, do not always know just how to take care of them. Many of them treat them us they do a carpet, sweeping them with a broom-corn broom, which is in tended well enough to take the dust out of the meshes of a carpet, but not to polish a hardwood surface. The same woman who treats her hardwood iloor in this way would re fuse to sweep off her piano with a broom-corn broom, for fear of scratch ing it. She would probably take a soft cotton-llannel fluster and wipe off the dust, and this is exactly what she should do with her floor. The most convenient way of doing it is to make a soft cot ton-flannel bag for the broom. The dust is easily removed from a polished floor in this way. Such a covered broom is also useful sweeping down the walls, though a feather duster accomplishes this work more successfully. There ought to be a number of these broom-covers ready, so that when they become soiled they may be washed. Painted piazas may also be much more successfully swept with a covered broom of this sort than in any other way. Even when it needs a scrubbing-brush, if it is well swept with a covered broom, it will look al most as well as if it had been scrubbed with a brush, and certainly better than if it had been cleaned with a mop. —N*. Y. Tribune. The Etiquette of the Fan. There is an endless etiquette in the use of fans, and with the Japanese the fan is an emblem of life. The rivet end is regarded as the starting point and as the rays of the fan expand so the road of life widens out toward a prosperous future. It is also said that the Japanese ogi originally took its shape from their wonderful mountain, Fuji-san, which represents to them all that is beautiful, high and holy. When one begins to understand all this there comcß a salutary feeling of ignorance, and we perceive that the Japanese may claim to be among the great symbolists in the world. A continuance of such study might turn the most hardened European into a Japonophilo. To Make Fulled Bread. Tear the crust from a part of a loaf of baker's bread. Now tear the crumb of the loaf into long, thin pieces. Spread the torn bread in a pan and put in a hot oven to become brown and crisp. It will take about fifteen min-! utes. Serve hot with cheese. Pulled bread ia also nice with chocolate or coffee. Regarding Ontrlch Plumei*. I o each wing of tlio ostrich twenty six long white plumes grow to maturi ty in eight months.

Just as the door of the city clerk's office was due to be closed the other night two young ladies called and stated that they were looking for a marriage license. "This if not the place," explained the sober-faced clerk. "The clerk of the court issues them at the court house, but you are too late to get down there before he goes homo." "Isn't that provoking?" remarked one of the maidens, with a pout equally provoking. "They told -us that this was the place to get licenses." "It is. Dog licenses," the facetious clerk answered. "The license is for me, not you, sir," answered the girl, and a deep hush fell over the city seal.—Minneap olis Journal. A Hint to the Stay-at-Homcs. Brown—LTave you been off to the seaside?

You Can Strengthen It by Simple Homo Exercises. A System Which Is Far More Effective Than the Swallowing of Medicines —Every Woman and lilrl Should Practice It. The back has twenty-six seperate bones, so strung together that they have very little individual movement: but what little tliey have ought to he carefully preserved, if we would be ! capable, graceful and easy. Children have nine more separate | bones; these become joined into two, to ! form the solid back wall of the pelvis— that bony basin which holds our deli cate abdominal organs. There would be no muscular back aches if we had kept childhood's move ment of the back. There are no superfluous muscles in the human body, and sooner or later those which have been deceased to de generacy will be called into action, j Then, naturally, they will either fail | utterly to respond to the call, or they i will act beyond their strength and suf fer for it. Thereupon somebody who has more uneducated sympathy than knowledge, says; "Rest your back if it makes it ache to use it." Somebody else says: 'Support it with corsets or braces." lis BACK EXKRCIPICn. Br i you listen to hear a still small voice saying: "Thou fool! This day shall thy back be required of thee!" To completely ruin the muscles of tbj back prop them up, making your form as unnatural as possible. Ilard labor of one kind or another is inevitable to most of us. Ilut our nerves and muscles ought to be, and cau be, kept in order and repair by gymnastics. Men, women and children should exer cise every day as vigorously as the ani mals in the forest. Suppose you are a sewing woman, and sit from early morning until late at night, moving your feet, and in a bent position. You should not wonder that your back aclics! You show this in your round shoulders, flat chest and sallow complexion. "Medicine" will not help you. You must either stop sewing or form a gymnastic class, or practice cer tain exercises for yourself. And it is not always possible for a sewing woman to stop sewing. I give you here simple exercises which require no apparatus: 1. (1) Stand perfectly balanqed, heels together, shoulders back —not high— head up, chin as double as possible. (2) Hands on hips, fingers forward. Take a long breath as slowly as possi ble and as slowly exhale with mouth shut. Repeat ten times. 2. (1) Same position. Heels together, toes turned out, hips firm. (2) Rend head and back slowly back ward, keeping eyes on the ceiling, and arching back well and taking deep in spiration . (3) Bend forward, still looking at ceiling, shoulders well back. Repeat ten times. 3. Rotate the head slowly. IJend the head to right and left. Do it all very slowly and forcibly. 4. Arm upward stretch; keeping them close to the ears. Forward, down ward beiul, until your finger tips touch the floor; upward, backward bend, al ways keeping your head between your arras. Repeat five times. 5. Position, fingers touching shoul ders of the same side—shoulders well back. Now forcibly extend your arms upward three times, outward three" times, forward three times, out and downward. This is like one of the old dumb-bell exercises, but you do not ! need dumb bells if you will do the movements with life. 0. Lie fiat on your back on the fioor and take long, deep inspirations, first making sure that the windows are open and that you are breathing pure air. And, of course, you are not exer cising in your corsets. Now, with feet | well extended and hips well firm, try ■ to get up without using your arms. I 7. Lie face down on the floor with your hips firm and see how far you can raise your head and trunk. 8. March up and down the room, ex tending your arms upward at every j fourth step, keeping regular martial I lime. 1). After a week or two you will be ready for violent exercises. Lie down, ; face down, hands on the floor just under i your shoulders. Raise your body on your toes and arms, keeping your knees and back perfectly straight, i Lower your back to the floor very i slowly. Repeat throe times.—House wife. Savo the Cucumber Peels. | In the cucumber season, instead of throwing away the peel and pulp, put them in a jug of water on your toilet table and wash with this infusion. You may also use slices of pulp instead of soap. Cucumber has wonderfully cool ing as well as softening properties. Orange and lemon peel used in the same way will keep the water soft an', scent it deliciously. Nerves In the Human Hotly.
