A Futile
Attempt ii
;; To Keep a Boy and a Girl ;
From Wedlock
By PETER SCHONSKY
Count Ivan Ivanovich, a Russian no
bleman, bad the misfortune to marry
a wife who for years led him a dance,
then ran away with an officer in the
army, lenvlng him alone with a son,
Boris, a year old.
Naturally the count was imblttered
•gainst women. The very sight of one
of the opposite sex threw him into a
State bordering on insanity, lie at
last became so affected on encounter
ing n woman that his physician recom
mended that he go where.he would not
meet them.
So Count Ivan sold out his estate
near St. Petersburg nnd went Into Si
beria, where he bought a large tract of
land, in the center of which he built
himself a bouse. He encircled his laud
with a high wall, in which there was
but one opening, at which he stationed
a guard with instructions not to per
mit any woman or female child to en
ter the inclosure. His servants were
all men, and if any article was needed
that a mnn could not make it was ob
tained from without.
Besides keeping nway from women
himself, the count decided to keep his
son away from them. When Boris be
gan to talk his father gave orders that
he should not bo told that there were
such persons as women In the world.
The boy was to grow up thinking that
the only human beings were men. Per
uups mere was a [race or insanuy m
this, but be thnt as It may, so great
was the care taken to keep all sexual
knowledge away from Boris that he
was fifteen years old before such
knowledge came to him.
The revelation reached him in this
way: A lady of Moscow, Catherine
Barchikoff, had the same experience
with her husband that Count Ivano
vich had with his wife, Barchikoff
having deserted her for her maid. The
sight of a man did not have the same
effect upon her that the sight of a
woman invariably hnd on Count
Ivanovich, but she determined to bring
up her baby daughter, Nathalie, in
ignorance of the male sex, keeping
her so if possible till she should have
passed the age at which young girls
usually marry.
Now, Mme. Barchikoff knew as well
ns did Count Ivanovich that it would
be Impossible to bring up a girl never
to see a man unless in a wilderness.
So she began to make inquiries ns to
where she should find an uninhabited
region in which to live. Very nat
urally, she arrived at the same conclu
sions as Count Ivanovich. Siberia was
but thinly settled, and it was the
nearest region to St Petersburg fitted
for the purpose, was not far from ■
railroad terminal and therefore avail
able for receiving supplies. Thus it
happened that Count Ivanovich took
a son and Mme. Barchikoff a daugh
ter to the same neighborhood in Si
beria, the one to keep his boy away
from women, the other to keep her girl
away from men.
Siberia is a very large country, but
not large enough to keep apart a man
and a woman, provided there be but
one man and one woman within its
limits, even though they be at points
farthest apart. Boris Ivanovich and
Nathalie Barchikoff were the only
youth and maiden in the region in
which they dwelt, and they were not
very far apart. Ergo, if the above
reasoning is correct it follows that
despite the watchfulness of their re
spective parents they would sooner or
luter form a union.
Boris grew up a manly young fel
low and before he was thirteen years
old began to chafe at being confined
within an inclosure. When he asked
permission to go outside the walls his
father said to him:
“Are you not permitted to ronm over
a vast territory? Have you not rivers
in which to fish? Have you not forests
in which to hunt? Be content, my boy.
Within our domain you are safe; with
out it you will be subject to a great
danger.”
“What danger?”
“Without our walls is an animal
something like a man. It is made in
the image of a man, but has the eye
of a serpent. It charms men as the
snake charms birds. If you once meet
one of these creatures you are liable
to be devoured."
Far from being impressed with such
a warning, Boris, who was fond of
hunting, thought continuously about
this creature fashioned something like
n man, yet able to charm men to de
stroy them. Gradually a desire grew
upon him to see one of these creatures.
If he felt a spell coming over him he
would shoot the vampire. It wyas not
long before he was trying to bribe the
guard at the gate to let him out. But
the guurd was incorruptible. So when
Boris was in his sixteenth year he
rodo away one morning with an ax
and his gun and, reaching the wall, cut
dowrn a tree that leaned toward it and,
when the tree fell against the top of
the wall, climbed up and dropped
down on the ground outside the in
closure.
The boy, keeping his gun ready to
protect him in case of need, hunted for
hours for the manlike creature his fa
ther had told him about, but found
only w'lld animals. He returned by
felling a tree on the outside against
the wall and went home, no one hav
rng-vnscoverua jjs u^ji—iuj ijlj wnu" me
inclosute.
Boriat made many such trips before
he found the manlike creature. Com
ing one day to a high fence, he climb
ed it and pursued his way through a
forest. Presently, coming to a lake
whose surface was frozen, he saw
what he was convinced was the crea
ture he was desirous to meet skating
on the ice.
From what his father had told him
he had got an idea that there was
something hideous about the animal
and that it influenced men not by its
beauty, but by magic. What he saw
was so beautiful that instead of bring
ing his gun into position to protect
himself it dropped out of his hands
forgotten. The creature wore a gown
trimmed with fur, the garment flutter
ing in the wind as she skimmed grace
fully hither and thither. A dainty cap.
made chiefly of fur, was on her head,
and her hands were incased in fur.
Boris forgot entirely his father’s cau
tion. Ills chief desire was to go and
see if he could catch the thing. Un
fortunately he had no skates with him.
lie ran to the margin of the lake and
called. The vampire turned, stopped
and stood gazing at him with eyes as
full of wonder as his own.
’’Can you talk?” he called to her.
“Yes. Can you?’
“Of course I can, or I couldn’t have
asked you the question.”
“I wonder If you’re not a man?”
“Of course I am. Why do you won
der if I am?"
“Because I’ve heard our servants
talk about what they call men, but
I’ve never seen one before.”
“And I’ve never seen anything like
you before. What are you?”
“Why, I’m a girl."
“Are you the creature that charms
men as snakes charm birds and then
eats them?”
“I don’t eat men. I never saw one
before."
Each had by this time approached
the other. The girl put her hand on
UUMB BltTVU Uim lUUL’Utra 1113 VUtTh
with her finger.
“Have you got a name?” she asked.
“Yes; Boris.”
"My name Is Nathalie.”
Boris took the cap off her head and
saw the coils of hair. He run bis band
over them.
“How smooth and soft,” he said.
Suddenly her skates slipped from nn
der her, and she fell Into his arms.
She smiled at him, showing white
teeth between her lips. No one ever
told him about a kiss. He had never
heard of such a tiling. No one ever,
told a newborn babe that, feeling hun
gry, It W'ould find sustenance at its
mother’s breast. Boris kissed the lips
before him from the same cause—in
stinct. He started.
"What is It?" she asked.
"The spell.”
“What spell? Isn’t it nice?"
"Nice! Too nice. Are you going to
charm and eat me?”
The girl laughed and showed the
same white teeth between the red lips
and a couple of dimples besides. He
kissed her again. Then he began to
think very hard.
“What are you thinking about?” ask
ed Nathalie.
“Well, I was thinking that if what
my father said Is true, that you are
charming me to destroy me, you can
go right on doing it, and I’m going
right on doing It, too, till I’m lost."
And he kissed her again.
Mme. Barchlkoff, having a mind to
Join her daughter, who, she was aware,
had gone to the lake to skate, at this
moment stepped from the edge of a
road and stood transfixed at seeing her
daughter held in the arms of a youth,
whose lips were pressed upon the
girl’s. The good woman caught at a
tree to prevent her falling in a swoon,
and ns soon as she could gather her
faculties she hurried down on to the
tee.
“What are you doing here?" she de
manded of Boris.
“Going to the devil as fast as pos
sible. But I can’t be ruined by you.
lou may be one of the same kind, but
I can resist you without trouble.”
“Go away from here.”
“I won’t."
“Nathalie, come to the house imme
diately.”
“I won’t. If this is the awful man
I’ve heard about I don’t think he’s so
awful nt all.” And she clung to Boris.
"Come to the house, both of you,”
said the mother, more persuasively,
and they obeyed.
An hour later Mme. Barchlkoff was
driven in a sleigh to the gate of Count
Ivanovich and demanded admittance.
Being refused, she sent in word to the
count that her son was at her house
making love to her daughter. The
count, having steadied himself with
a goblet of vodka, went out to see his
visitor and, after a brief conversation
between the two, rode back with her
to her home. There they found the
young couple sitting before an open
fire locked in each other’s arms.
“You are ruined!” cried the count to
his son.
“I love to be ruined,” was the reply.
“You have brought down upon your
self,” said Mme. Barchlkoff to her
daughter, “a terrible trouble.”
“I’m ready to endure It,” replied the
girl, “for another of those what-you
may-call-’ems” (referring to the kisses).
“Send for the priest!” cried the lady.
“The priest! Great heavens! Is my
son to be manacled?”
"Yes, and I presume he will leave
his wife for a menial.”
“Well,” moaned the father, “I sup
pose I must yield. Oh, my son, you
have brought great misery on yourself.
You will regret this all your life."
The priest came and went through a
ceremony the young people did not
understand, and that was the end of
the endeavor of Count Ivanovich and
Mme. Barchlkoff trying to keep a boy
and a girl apart
