14 "Souls oh Fhrk 99 (Continued from page 10) need be, they can run you to earth, no matter what the difficulties." "This quarrel is between Boris and his kinsmen," was the sharp answer. "Sol diers cannot settle it." "They settled the attack on the Dukhof Monastery, it seems," persisted Arm strong. "I heard the firing when I came here to-night." "The soldiers are only the people. They are ignorant and misguided. One has to teach them. Do you think they kill their fellow-men for love of their rulers? Are these men within filled with dreams of the emancipation of Russia? Not they. For the most part they are driven to our cause either by hatred of the tax-gatherer or through fear of the police. Some cannot pay the rent ; others are thieves and murderers. A few men think and are willing to sacrifice them selves to an idea. Out of such materials revolutions are made. The seed must ret before the tree grows." This unexpected outburst gave Frank new hope. A man tilled with such as pirations could not well be a sanguinary monster. "We in England sympathize with you," he said. "It is a poor reward to betray the faith two of us have placed in you." The Russian looked at him in silence for a moment. "You see those hills: " he said suddenly, pointing to the ghostly trio in the middle distance. "Yes." "They are the sign of my house. 'Tents.' my people called them when first they crossed the Volga. <>n the center one Stenka Razin sat in his ivory chair and directed the plunder of passing ves sels. His descendant lounges in a palace or drives in smart carriages through the gilded places of Europe. He moves his throne— thai is all. Where Stenka robbed a few, Melnikoff roi.s many. Stenka slaughtered individuals. Mi Inikoff and his like are strangling a nation. What is your fate, or mine, or this angel-faced girl's, to the miseries of millions, the slavery of children yet unborn?" "That is true, in a sense; but I always have believed, in my thoughts concerning this local struggle, that your efforts were directed rather toward forcing Prince Melnikoff to marry the charming Natush ka than toward political reform." "The one includes the other. If we destroy one governor we have another sent in his place. Our only chance lies in bringing him to our side. When Boris Melnikofl marries Natushka he is forced back into the fold of his own people. He is not a bad fellow. He sooner would do gi >od than ill." "I believe that ; I>ut you are going the wrong way to work, my friend. We have an English proverb which says: 'One man can bring a horse to the water, but twenty cannot make him drink.' Let the Prince gel over his passing craze for Lord Valletort's daughter, and you may j^ain him more readily to your side." The big man lifted the heavy portiere of the gallery. He even laughed softly. "The easiest way to cure his passion would be for you to marry the lady your self, nobility." So the huge Ivan could use his eyes where other folks were concerned, if not in his own behalf! Frank felt that further argument was 1 unavailing. Inside the smoke-laden and intolerably stuffy sleeping apartment he heard Ivan obtaining news of the affray al the monastery. A few weary strag glers from the routed assailants had just j arrived. He lay down and vainly endeavored to sleep. His troubled brain, no less than sheer physical repulsion of the nauseating surroundings, kept him wide awake. At last he could stand it no longer. Gather ing his discarded furs, he went into the "BEGINS RIGHT. ENDS RIGHT, IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE."— NEW YORK CENTRAL.
