By RUTH GRAHAM
>Duriug that period when the late
Russian revolution was brewing Souia
Kntrovlch, a youug wife of twenty,
lived in St. Petersburg at her hoiue
with her husband. They were both
members of a secret propaganda em
bracing many persons whose object
it was to scatter printed matter In
tended to awaken the people to theii
wrongs and incite them to rebellion.
There were a number of depositories
for this literature, and the home of
the Katrovlchs was one of them.
The police learned of the where
abouts of one of these depositories
and. as was their custom. Instead of
raiding It at once, set a spy upon it
with a view to learning what persons
went there, assuming that all visitors
were members of the propaganda. One
morning Mine. Katrovieh went to
this depository that the police were
watching to take some revolutionary
literature there. The place was a sin
gle room 011 the third floor of a building
occupied for various purposes. Hav
ing finished her visit. Sonia opened the
door suddenly and just in time to see
a man dart up the stairs leading to
the next story almve. She did not see
his face nor his clothes suiflciently to
uiark him. but she knew instinctively
what had happened. The depository'
had been discovered by the police and
she would be shadowed to her home.
Retaining her presence of mind, she
continued on her way. knocking at dif
fereut doors as though looking for
some one. Receiving a negative an
swer to her question, she passed down
and out of the building.
Either slip must ourwu rue spy m
both she ami her husband must spend
the rest of their lives in Siberia. She
must not go hoiue. and she must con
trive to make her husband aware of
what I.".d happened. To pain time she
visit,- 1 certain shops. The first shop
she entered a man followed her inside
and looltel over articles with the pre
tence of buying. Sonia suspected him.
lint was not sure that he was her shall
ower tiJJ lie foiiowed hf-r into another
store.
After S'>nla had visited sev eral stores
she felt at liberty to enter one kept by
one Petrof. a member of the propa
ganda. without necessarily betraying
him. Calling on him for some "loves,
sho while trying theiu on informed
him of the situation that he might at
owe get word of the danger to her
husband and he might remove the lit
erature.
When she left the store the man who
watched her approached her.
"Conduct me to your home," he said.
"What means this?"' she asked, af
feeting surprise.
After awhile he admitted the truth,
and she told him that she had gone to
the building for the purpose of finding
a former si rvaut of hers, but had been
misinformed as to the address.
•'1 have no objection to taking row to
my home." she said, "and I will ea.-ily
prove to you that I am loyal to the
| government. Rut I warn you that 1
have some very good friends who are
influential with the government, and I
will not be put to any inconvenience."
At this the man assumed a more re
spectful manner and lifted his hat po
litely.
"I am looking for a certain kind of
goods." continued Sonia, "that T need
and shall be obliged to visit one or two
stores, then I will take yon home with
pleasure."
Sonia. being of the better class, was
enabled to assume an importance that
aI'iV. ted the official. She went into
several more shops and kept clerks
hunting for the goods she wished. .V
last she feigned to find exactly wha
she wanted i-.t'.-.l oil paying for it
I lie addfi*.-s m her home, to which it
was to be sent. The y iliee offii ial
noted the lo -a(ion, t'.rktip his e irs
as she gave it.
It w.iuld not suit Sonia's game to kc p
the mail too long. She must take souse
risk. It was nearly two hours after
she had left the menage with I'etrof
that she told her captor that she was
ready to go to her home, and she led
him there in a perfectly straight
•" '.rse. liut it was all she could do to
bear up under the suspense. If her
husband had not received her mes
s.ige there was that in store for them
far worse than death. As she went up
the steps of her house she almost
fainted, but with an effort she opened
the front door. Xo die was to be
seen, she opened a door leading into
another room where her husband sat
•it a desk writing.
"Well, rtt-nr." lie said wltDout iookius
ip from his work, "you have been gone
unite awhile." Then, raising his eyes
ami seeing his wife's attendant, lie
appeared surprised. Sonia knew tb-it
li;id he not been warned he would have
doubtless turned pale.
I "Yes." she said. "I have been de
layed in finding the goods I need for
my gown."
She then explained her having an
attendant who needed to be satisfied
that they were loyal to the ezar.
"That Is very easy." said her hus
band. "I am at this moment writing a
paper on the necessity of the Russian
people remaining loyal to the govern
ment."
lie handed the unfinished paper to
the official and bade him search the
house, from which everything incrim
inating had been removed. But so
well had the game been played that
the officer was satisfied and went
away -without taking any further ac
tion. ;
How
An A tist Obtained
R xognition
By F. OWNSEND SMITH
Ainu Vail when a schoolboy was
constantly coided for covering his
books with pictures. The flyleaves
anil the margins of the pages were
covered with heads of persons with
all sorts of expressions, besides the
bodies of dogs, horses, cats, elephants
and other animals. One could easily
tell by referring to his schooibooks
how much and how little each subject
interested him For instance, his read
er, the lessons In which were well
selected, was <iuite free from sketches,
while his arithmetic and grammar
were full of them. ile was interested
in the reader, but he detested gram
mar and arithmetic.
Alan determined to be an artist. His
father, who was a practical man and
had a large family to support, shook
his head at his son's choice of a field
of labor, but since Alau seemed fit
ted for nothing else than an artist
he consented. lie could not afford to
send the lio.v abroad to study, so he
was obliged to prepare himself for his
profession in America. A part of a
course in au art school was all the in
struction lie received. Then he began
to try to pi> k up a living as best he
could by making pictures.
Like most persons of artistic nature,
he tirst tiuw high He painted on can
vas, hut no one oared to buy his pic
tures. Then he tried to get an order
to illustrate hooks: but, the field being
on upieil. he sank to au illustrator for
a third rate newspaper. At this he
made just enough to keep body and
soul together
(iiit* iln.\ Alan saw a uaoy sleeping
in its crili Hi? was mtfcb impressed
with tlii? relaxedness of the little one
ami wondered if lie could transfer It
tn paper. lie tried and was eminently
successful. The child slept just as
sleepily on ptiper ns he did in his crib.
"I'll tell yon what you do with that
Alan." said a friend. "Send it to a
baby fowl company and ask for an
order to put it in oils for an ad."
Alan shuddered at the suggestion.
Was he indeed re 'nced to applying his
art for business purposes? But he
needed inouey lo pay his room rent, so
he acted on his friend's advice. The
company quickly returned the picture
with the order he had solicited, offer
ins him $100 for his work. When
the picture was finished every one who
saw it remarked:
"How pretty!"
"Dear little thing!"
"Sound asleep, isn't he?"
These remarks and other such in
genuous criticisms so pleased the artist
that he forgot that the picture was to
be degraded as an advertisement Cut
when he sent it to the food company
and received it back again with in
structions to put In it a baby's bottle
; with the words "Perkins" Food" on it
I he almost cried
However, the promise of a check as
j soon as the picture was returned with
the "essentials" painted In helped to
sweeten the dose, and Alan got him
self down to the task, lie received the
check, paid his room rent, bought him
self a new ouilit of clothes and a good
meal. Thus improved in body and
mind he bethought himself what nest
to do.
Art is art even on a sign or an ad
vertisement. and not a few of the
world's great artists have been obliged
to apply their abilities in this way.
To get that relaxedness on canvas or
in marble that Alan had transferred
from the sleeping child is one of tin*
niiilu features of genius. Persons who
saw tlie Perkins food advertisement
saw simpl.i a sleeping child. Here and
(here one who knew the picture's
Intrinsic worth supposed that the work
ot some great artist had been appro
priated.
Alau know ho hud produced some
tiling (hat he hud only sreu In draw
ings which were exhibited »s treasures
of art. lie determined to try it again
with n dancing girl Between the
model when placed on the canvas and
other pictures of dancers was the
Millie difference as between two girls
the one of whom is horn graceful and
the other is not. He continued to work
in illis vein till his $100 was exhaust
ed. hut by this time one of his pictures
was sold, for a song, it is true, but it
produced money. This was the first
encouragement of a practical kind that
the young artist received. That first
bank bill paid him, though but a tithe
of the price paid him for his ad., wns
far more grateful to him. But this
was a matter of sentiment
One who saw the picture that Alan
had sold and who recognized it for
what it was really worth wanted one
by the same artist. This led to an
other sale, and these two led to others,
and it was not, long before dealers
would say to inquirers, "Oh, that's an
original Vail, and his pictures come
high."
But these earlier prices were a warr
ed by those Alan obtained ten years
later. In one respect bis work did not
improve, but in other respects it did.
A genius for portraying figures with
absolutely no stiffness about tbem was
boru in hiin. The accessories were an
accumulation of experiences. But the
main reason why his pictures com
manded a high price was because they
were advertised. In other words, he
found that their worth, as well as Fer
kins' food, depended on their being
shown to large numbers of persons,
and in advertising that article he had
advertised himself.
Every now and then some aviator
breaks n record before he breaks his
neck.
The Russian government Is so deter
mined to get rid of unrest that it is
creating a vast amount of It
Rich widows must pay the income
tax, but there are poor bachelors who
are willing to relieve them of the hard
ship.
New ancient ruins have been found
near the City of Mexico. There are
also a few modern ruins in that neigh
borhood.
A woman says that the weight of a
soul is four and seven-sixteenth ounces,
so the average corporation hasn't
missed much.
The price of diamonds is coming
down, but the news will not affect as
many people as if it concerned the
price of potatoes.
Through all these years it has been
customary to speak of Philadelphia as
"slow." and now it develops that the
old city is built on a bed of quicksand.
Now that Mr. Edison has been con
fined to his room for the first time in
his life, we may reasonably look for
an invention that will do away with
sickness.
Well, after all our solicitude, here is
our old friend Dr. Wiley again. lie
