A Mystery Solved
tOrieinal.
iwoi itemsky, a young Russian,
came to America to join Lis brother
Dmitri. On reaching the little hamlet
In the far west, where he expected to
find his brother, Petrof learnt that
ue. naa disappeared under very sus
piclons circumstances
Dmitri Remsky, who had come over
Bome years before, had sought work
with John Mason, who kept a store.
Dmitri had found It difficult to get on,
not knowing the language or the cus
toms of the country, and when he ap
plied to Mason for employment was
literally starving. Mr. Mason took pity
on him and fed and clothed him. Ma
eon, seeing that he was intelligent, ad
vanced him gradually from a mere er
rand boy to cleric and at last gave him
charge of the store during his own ab
sence, which was quite often.
The youngster, who was now about
twenty, ehowed the most intense grati
tude for his treatment-lndeed, he con
sidered himself so well off that he sent
his savings to Russia to bring his
brother over, knowing the dreadful
condition of the Russian peasant and
desiring to give Petrof the same ad
vantages as himself. Petrof was due
to arrive in a week, when one evening
a blizzard ench as is Tilit tin inan til In
the west came up. During the night
Mason heard footsteps In the store be
low his rooms, but as his clerk slept
meie mougnc notning about It. In the
morning Masou went to his cash draw
er and found the contents-some $250
gone. The clerk was nowhere to bo
louna.
All that day the snow swirled, the
wind howled, while tbe thermometer
stood at 20 degrees below zero. It was
Impossible to go In search of the fugl
' tlve. Indeed It was not expected that
he could get very far away, though the
blizzard had not reached great severity
till near naming, and he might have
covered a good deal of ground during
the night. When it cleared tbe snow
was still too deep to warrant a search,
and it was not for some time longer
that t completely disappeared. Then
Masou went out by different avenues
looking for his money, but found no
trace of It and gave it up for lost.
It was about this time that Petrof
appeared to learn that his brother had
repaia nis benefactors by m.klng off
with their cash. The poor ?oy was
crushed. He could not believe that his
brother could be so base. The Masons
treated him kindly and, though they
had been robbed by one brother, con
sented to put the other In his place.
But Petrof was too much absorbed in
what had become of Dmitri to be of
steady use. As soon as he had earned
a little money he would sally forth to
search for him, only returning when
his money was gone. Mason humored
hJnjandpermittedbimto snendhls
time in "this way' without discharging
mm.
: ut week after week, month after
month, passed away, and there v was
ho news of Dmitri. Mason believed
that he had made his way to another
region, tftougn he did not see how he
could have done bo in face of the bliz
zard, against which no human being
coma nave striven Ions. But if be
had fallen surely his bones must be
weacuing not far from the scene of his
robbery. Every foot of ground had
been searched, and no trace had been
discovered
Petrof alone refused to believe that
his brother had taken the money,
Spring passed Into summer and sum.
mer into winter, but the young fellow's
excursions instead of ceasing grew
longer. Instead of hunting within a
dozen miles of the village he extended
bis tours over several principal routes
into other regions. He neither heard of
Dmitri or found his remains. The rob
bery would have been forgotten had it
not been kept alivo by the persevering
t -error, ana nis mterest in saving his
brother's honor. As it was. the affair
became more and more a mystery. For
nines around ttie people were discuss
Inst the tioesibilltv of Dmifri'a n-ntrin
through the blizzard and if he had how
he had done It.
Then Petrof one day set off. resolv
lng to follow a course In which he
would be best shielded by an imaginary
tempest. He first circled around a
low hill; then struck out for a wood.
Emerging from this, be deliberated
how next to proceed. Finally he con
cluded to follow a creek. Reaching a
place where It appeared that the bank
had caved, he stopped and looked
about him. Below him he noticed a
boot protruding from the soil. He
went down, to It and pulled it away, ex
posing a foot. Scratching away, ho
came to a leg and at last exposed a
body thinly covered 'by earth that had
fallen on it. It was the body of
Prajfrl.
As soon as Petrof had recovered
from the shock he searched the cloth
ing for the missing money. There
was ouly a little change in the vest
pocket.1
Dmitri had fallen on his face, had
been covered with snow, and when it
melted a portion of tbe bank had fallen
and covered him. He was about to
leave the body to tro back for assist.

ahead a bit of cloth nrotrudinir as the
boot had protruded from the soil. He
went to It and little by little uncov

was lying on the ground, but had
turned, with a revolver in his hand
pointing back. In bis pocket was
Dmitri went back and examined his
brother's body. There was a bullet
hole In the chest.
The riddle was solved. A thief had
entered the store, taken the money and
made off, with the clerk after hlra.
The thief was Identified as one who
had broken j:iil the same night..

Copyright, 190, by I. D. Marshall.!
In one of Hhe-west counties of Eng
land, on oue of the highways leading
Into and out of a good sized town, there
used to stand on the brow of a hill a
house familiarly spoken of as the house
with the red wing.
By and by there was a lawsuit and
tbe place was sold to Squire Hender
son. He in turn sold it to one Saunder
sjh. Saunderson made some of the
rooms habitable, secured the services
of an old woman for housekeeper and
oue March day became a resident.
A mouth passed away without any
unusual lucldeut. Sir. Saunderson
made repairs to the fences, hud the
trees trimmed up and arranged to re
paint the house later on. He testiiled
In a court of law later ou that he
plumed himself ou having made a good
bargain, and that lie wan perfectly
satisfied with the place until a queer
circumstance happened. Mrs, Seovlll,
the housekeeper, was nearly fifty years
old, and was known as a sensible wo
man and one educated abovo her sta
tion. Her raom was on tbe second
Story back, and ono morning she noti
fied the master that on the night pre
vious, at about the hour of midnight,
she was awakened by sonic noise she
could not muke out. It was a moon-1
light night, tuul on looking from the
window she saw a man carrying an
other man on bis buck and crossing the
open ground, to disappear in a spinny
or thicket. There was an outdoor en
trance to the cellar, nud the man and
h!s burden seemed to have cowe from
there. The man with th burden did
nnt seen.i t a walk, but rather to glide.
She was certain that the man on his
bark was a corpse. She. admitted be
ing too frlf htened to call the master, but
Jumped Into bud. covered up her bead
and was nil In a tremble until morning.''
Mr. Saundersoa laughed at the wom
an and gave her story scant attention.
Qn the third night she saw the same
sight again, and nest morning she was
for leaving her place. The master
promised t. watch from a rear window
In the red wing, nud fur three nights'
he did watch, and nothing happened.
The moon was fulltmr nil the time, and
on the fourth night the grounds in the
re.ir of the home were almost as light
as day. It was testified by others that
they had read print outdoors that night.
At exactly a quarter past 12 and with
out the sllshtest preliminary warning
there issued from the outdoor entrance
to tho cellar a man with another man
on lila bark. Mr. Saunderson could not
see the fiiee of the living mm, nor
could he well make cut bis form, but
the face of the burden wns ptiin ta
him. It was tint of a young and will
driWd mil", having Mack luilr and a
nuisJaehe f the same color. The body
was rigid, as lflfe bud departed some
,0Ui-s before..
The man with the burden did not
walk like n living man. As the house
keeper contended, he seemed to glide.
In making for the thicket he passed
over a bit of ground which the spring
sun had softened up. and If a live man
be must leave footprints there. When
he had disappeared into the thicket
Mr. Saunderson went out to look for
traces. He testified that be found the
footprints of a rat, a bare and a bird In
the soft soil, but of nothing else. You
may believe that he was startled and
puzzled, but, being n hard beaded man,
he was not rattled. Next day he got a
young farmer to come and sit np with
him for the night and observe and cor
roborate him. Mrs. Scoviil was also
present. At a quarter past 12 the same
thing happened as on the night before.
Next day a workman with a pick
went over the cellar bottom and Inves
tigated until sure that it did not hold
a grave. Then the thicket wns search
ed foot by foot without uncovering any
horror. Next night the master, house
keeper and three persons of good
standing witnessed the carrying away
of the dead man. Then Mr. Pounder
son went to the squire and demanded
the return of his money on the ground
that the honso was haunted.. The
squire was jimt able to hobble about.
but not to put in a. night at the honso
with the red wing. He sent two per
sons of his acquaintance, however, but,
lo and behold, nothing. whatever hap
pened. They were there on the second
and third night, but nothing came of it.
Mr. Saunderson and his witnesses in
sisted that they had seen , what they
had seen, the housekeeper refused to
stay another day, and as the squire
intimated that the purchaser of the
place was trying to work some tmt of
swindle on him a suit nt law was In
rtituted ngulnst him.
From the day the suit was brzun
Mr. Saunderson had two men In the
house every night. In order to lie fair
with the fwiire he allowed him to have
' the snme number. Tim owner had sot
the Idea that the man with the burden
appeared only at about the full of the
moon, but was not going to. miss any
chances. Not a 'thing happened until
a mouth had passed a montli from the
date of the "things" first appearance.
Then It reappeared and was seen for
four niirlits in succession. When five
or six people see a thing four or five
times over and swear to it, what are
you going to do about it? You can't
call them liars and perjurers, can you?
You may not believe It possible that
thoy saw what they' said thry saw.
but you are oue to five.

Ctrl Slave la China.
A native writer in a Chinese publica
tion remarks: "When a girl Is sold in
China she becomes the slave of her
owner and a part of his property. She
no longer retains her fre?boru rights,
but surrenders them ail to the will of
those who own her. She receives no
compensation for her labor, but Is
obliged to accept such raiment and
food as her owner may be pleased to
give her. In cases of tyranny ur gross
cruelty she cannot appeal for redress.
She may bo resold, given it way or oast

The Blnrk Maria., "'."", '"'.''.'
"Black Maria" Is, a, familiar .'.'term,
with an origin more or Jess mysterious.
It has been suggested that 'Maria"
really represents the old word "ninri.

married,' a stane expression formeHv
applied to persons chained or hand
cuffed together on the way to Jail. But
more attractive la the story that In
the old colonial days a gigantic and

healthful recreation, abolishment of
child labor, sanitary conditions In fac
tories and arbitration of nil differences
between employer and employee ar
some 'of the improvements organized
labor hopes to bring about.
Would not tbe Individual station io I
the life of every one of us wace earn
ers bo vastly bettered if these improve
ments could be gained r These improve
ments nnd more will be sained if wo
men wage earners would join labor un
ions in larger numbers. Become Inter
ested enough to try to improve your
present labor conditions. It should be
your first and not your last considera
tion. Do not think that because labor
unions do not gain an immediate I11
crea.stt of wages they are not worthy of
the Micpoft your membcrshlD would
give. Think of what they have gained
with comparatively little support, and
it will be easy to estimate what could
be gained with the united support of ail
wage earners.
Can you think of anything that or
ganized labor has gained that has not
benefited you? Can you think of any
thing it is striving to gain that will not
benefit you? Can you think of any
better way to improve your condition
than by joining forces with it? Does
it not bold ont to you great hopes of
future advancement if you will only
give it your support? Forget for a
moment your tunall prejudices against
Joining labor unions nnd answer these
questions fairly. If the answer Is sat
isfactory do not stop there, but join
your , local union at once. Interest
yourself in what Is primarily your own
affair" and by joining a labor union
make that Interest a powerful influ
ence. Contribute your support to or
ganized labor, : which Is doing so much
to support you. Strengthen tho weap
ons In Its hands by your support and
It will strengthen tbe weapons in your
hands by Its support ; Toil receive
much for little and in every other
transaction would consider that you
had made a good bargain. Fortify
yourselvos against a reduction of
wages by joining your local union.
Each wage earner contributes his
trifling stqiport, and organised labor
will furnish tbe advancement and build
the road over -which you travel to
reach It. Spend your money for union
stamped goods, thereby becoming th
arbitrator to settle the differences be
tween your cr.uilo.Tcr and the com net l-
tion of his market, and be will speedily
became tho arbitrator to settle the
grievous differences between you and
the market for your labor. Buy union
stamped giods and increase the nur-
chasing power of your dollar. Where
they are not for sale create a demand
for, them and broaden the market for
every manufacturer of union label
goods. By this simple- means you are
promoting your own cause and making
It passible for a widespread trades un
ion market.
Your fortunes are Indls-soluMy linked
with your employer's. He. is not en
tirely to blame for prevailing condi
tions. If you spend your wages for
tho products of sweat shops you force
ieeent manufacturers to meet sweat
shop competition. If your employer
must compete with the proprietor of a
sweat shop you mast compete with the
workers in sweat shops.
Buy union label goods and drive the
sweat shops out of existence. Wags
earners by buying the products of
sweat shops beconis the supporters of
them. Continue to support them and
you will soon be working a facia.
Women arn the household economists
nnd as the managers and disbursers
of tho family Income can, by buying
union label goods, make it possible for
the breadwinners to increase tho fatal
ly Income. A vast power is within tbe
bauds of women to incalculably
Mrengthen or greatly retard the trades
union movement. Will you use it by
buying Union label goods to strengthen
thin movement and promote your up
lii'tiiig or will you use it by buying
sweat shop goods to retard this move
ment and retard your uplifting? All
tvage earners, promote vour Interests
nud strengthen your unions by combin
ing your w.-i'jcs into one elan title fund
for the purchase of union label goods.
