The Price Paid
For a Wife
By EUNICE BLAKE
"Father," snld Paul Alexandrovltch,
"will you not buy Tatlana for me? We
love ench other. Tatlana Is a serf,
while 1 urn free. 1 cannot marry her
unless her master will sell her."
"I fear, my sou," replied the father,
"tliat the count will not sell Tatlana.
I hnve never been on friendly terms
with him, he being a rich landowner
and I a small farmer. Besides, there
was that trouble about the woodcut
ting. No, 1 do not believe he will grant
any request of mine. But I will go to
him and offer him a good price for the
girl."
That was a time when a large pro
portion of the Itus8lan people were
serfs. Paul and Tatlana had played
together as children when the little
ones of other nations were at school,
for education of the lower classes has
never been permitted In Russia, and
after they were old enough to work
they continued the Intimacy. And
now that they had reached a marriage
able age the fact of Tutlana'a slavery
loomed up a great barrier between
them
Alexander, Paul's father, counted up
the money that he might spare to buy
Tatiana and found by stuainlug a point
be could gather 1.000 rubles. He went
to Count KoiiofT and very humbly told
him of the affection between the boy
and the girl and asking him If he
would not make them happy by selling
the latter so that tlle.v could be mar
ried. "1 will give them a slice off my
form.".he added, "and. as for the price,
1 will pay you 1.000 rubles."
"1 cannot spare Tatlana." replied the
count "The countess needs her to
dress her hair."
Tlie refusal came so curtly thiit the
farmer dured not pursue the amtter.
He went nway and told Ills son the re
sult of his mission. Paul was crushed
by (he news, for In Russia the auto
cratic system has prevailed for so
tuany centuries that the weak—until
the recent revolution—did not think of
resisting the strong. Paul told Tatlana
of the reason given for refusing to sell
her. and she said that she had never
dressed the countess' hair.
Paul had a great many friends, and
Tatiana was also much beloved. All
the world loves a lover, and their case
excited a good deal of sympathy. A
few of those who heard of the case
clubbed together to add to the price
that Alexander could raise to buy Ta
tiana, and oue of tliejn went to the
count and asked him if he would not
fix a price on the girl. Ele was a very
avaricious man, and. thinking this
might be an opportunity to get a good
deal of money for what was not worth
very much to him, he replied that If
5.000 rubles were offered he would ac
cept them.
An effort was made to raise 4,000
rubles, which was the amount re
quired In addition to what Alexander
could give. But there .Is no great
wealth In Kussia except among those
connected with the government, and
the subscriptions came In such small
sums that the amount finally sub
scrltied was far below what was re
quired.
The matter looked hopeless when
Paul went one day to do some work
for oue Mourlensleff, a well to do man
of the middle class. In talking with
Paul he learned about his love affair
and how be and Tatiana were made
miserable by Count Korloff's mean
ness. Mourlensleff asked Paul how
much was lacking altogether of the
fund to buy Tatiana, and Paul said that
It was 1.1500 rubles (SSOO) Then Mou
riensieff told Paul that he would lend
hiin the money at the legal interest
and he could pay off the loan In eight
yean, or '200 rubles a year.
Paul accepted the proposition grate
fully and sent word to the count that
he was ready to buy Tatiana. paying
5,000 rubles for her. Count Korloff
was astonished that so much money
could have been raised for such a pur
pose. and it occurred to him that, aft
er so much had been got together, a
little more might be added. He re
plied that he had found a new use'for
Tntlana that made her much more val
uulile. but. since be did not wish to
stand between her and Paul Alexan
drovltch. he would complete the bar
gain for ft.ROO rubles.
Paul's disappointment was all he
could bear. Hp went to Mourlensleff
wJth tears in his eyes to tell tiim of
tlie failure.
"It would be of no avnil," suid tlie
hitter, "to continue to follow such a
man up the scale of his prices. Let
the matter rest for awhile."
Taul took this to mean that he would
never possess the girl he loved and
went away sorrowful.
A few weeks after this when Paul
was working In a field a messenger
from Ount KorlofT came to him and
said that the count had decided to ac
cept 5.000 rubles for Tatlana. Paul
replied that he did not know If the
money would now be forthcoming, but
would make Inquiries. He did so
and succeeded In collecting the neces
sary amount But Just as he was
abput to start with It to the count a
QKin rode up to the house where he
was and scattered printed copies of
a nknse of the czar. Paul read one
of them and threw his cap la tlie air
with a shout:
"The Little Father Has freed the
serfs,.'"
And so It was that Count Korloff re
ceived nothing for Tatlnna. She was
free to marry Paul, aud no wedding
among those people Tras celebrated
with greater rejoicings than hers.
