A SENTRY'S LOVE.
It Is Rewarded After Years of

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

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."

HAT PIN CUSHIONS.
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

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

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*.

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.

Drought Her Repartee Along.
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

j "OH, MY TIRED BACK!"
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

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

Orange and lemon peel used in the
same way will keep the water soft an',
