A WOMAN'S REASON
(Original.)
There was enough of Incident con-
filtrated in the wedding day of Dr.
Dmitri Urbnuleff and Katharine Tons-
kol, tvo young Russlnns of the mid
dle cl.is, for a whole lifetime. Lr
banlelT bad returned from his medical
studies In Paris with a light heart, for
Katharine was expecting I1I111. and they
were to be married soon after his ar
rival. He found domesticated In the home
of Katharine's father Count Alexle-1
vech, who bad some months previous
appeared In the village near by nnd
who had brought a letter of Introduc
tion to Tonskol. For what he came
mid how long he proposed to stay he
gave no Information. Dmitri, when he
found the young man so Intimate with
the family of his sweetheart, was trou
bled, but he soon made the discovery
that Katharine did not like the count,
nnd this reassured him. Why she did
not fancy her father's guest was a puz
zle, for the doctor could see plainly
I that the count seemed to desire tier fa
( vor. When Dmitri asked Katharine
I for n reason for her prejudice she gave
I him no better one than that Alexlevech
, was "cross eyed." Dmitri laughed at
tills feminine reason and thought no
I mure about the matter.
I The morning of the wedding dny
brought a shock to the community. A
i dozen persons In the vicinity were ar
rested, and tho most harrowing fea
ture was that the young doctor, who
, was to have been married In the even
j lug, wns among them. The prisoners
insieau or ueing given n trim were uur
rled off to Siberia. Count Alexlevech
appeared to bo as surprised and Indig
nant ns any one nnd volunteered to
start nt once for St Petersburg, where
ho claimed to have Influence, to pro
cure the doctor's release. Dmitri wns
earnest in his gratitude nnd begged
the count to strain every nervo to frco
hi in liefore It should be too late. Kath
1 nrlne could only cling to her lover, de
I spnlrlng of ever seeing him again.
Alter tier lover s departure sue passeu
a few hours In nu agony of despair.
Then suddenly a desperate resolve took
possession of her. She distrusted tho
count's promise. Shortly previous to
the wedding day he had left her fa
ther's bouse and taken rooms In the
village. Knthnrlno ordered n drosky
nnd drove to his rooms. Instead of
sending for him to come down she ran
1 upstairs nnd knocked nt his door. She
found him walking the lloor.
I "Why are you not on the wny to St.
Petersburg?" she asked.
"I was too late for the 10 o'clock
; train. There Is no other till tomorrow."
"There Is a train on the other road at
4 this afternoon. You have only to
drive live miles to It to catch It."
"Kb? Are you sure? I don't believe
there Is time."
) "There Is time. Come. I have n
' drosky below. I will drive you my
self." The count began to busy himself
with preparation, making a great deal
I of fuss while doing very little. Katha
rine saw his revolver lying on a table.-
I "You will need this," she said, taking
It up and thrusting It In a pocket of
' her dress. "Come, we have no time to
spare."
j Alexlevech, cramming some brushes
Into a bag, accompanied her downstairs.
1 They got Into the drosky. Katharine
! seized the reins and drove away us
fast ns the horse would carry them.
As they were pnsslug through a
wood Katharine complained that Iter
fingers were numb and asked the count
. to take the reins. He had no sooner
done so than he felt something hard
pressed against his neck and heard the
click of a pistol.
"Fiend," said Katharine, "I know nil.
You are one of the chiefs of police and
have licet! ferreting out this plot, iou
have Implicated Dmitri to get him
out of the way the better to get me
into your clutches. I hate you, and 1
am going to kill you."
"Katharine! For heaven's sake, of
what are you accusing me?"
"Write an order for the release of
Dmitri or I lire."
"Hut I have no nuthorlty."
"Write."
The count, who had by this time
cnunht a glance of the girl's desperate
face, took out his notebook, tore out
n leaf, wrote the order and gave it to
I her.
I "Drop the reins and get out of the
drosky." she said. lie obeyed, and
Katharine, whipping up the horc, was
soon out of sight.
I She knew that the route tho prison
ers had taken was the one she was on,
their conductor intending to take them
on the train she had proposed to tho
' count to take. She soon overtook the
I party, produced the order, which was
respected, her lover got Into the drosky
nnd they drove homeward. When tip
.roiicliI.ig the village they saw tho
count ahead of them. Jle was walking
with his head bail down on his breast.
When they came up to him lie looked
, up as though In a dream. Dmitri got
! out of the drosky and demanded satis
faction for the wrong that had been
done him. Tho count looked at Kath
arine with a hopeless expression, ask
ed her to give Dmitri the revolver
nnd bared his breast. Dmitri turned
' nway, got into the urosuy ami, without
a word from him or Katharine to tho
1 count, drove 011.
' At the hour that hnd been announced
1 for the wedding tho bride and groom
were ready, and, as the news of Dmi
tri's release had spread like wi'dllre.
the guests were assembled. The core- j
niony passed ns quietly as hiul ueen
OY,wV(ll
'Aintuu.
, When tho hrldo nnd groom
wcro
j alone together Dmitri asked:
' "Katharine, how did you know tho
1 man was the cause of iny arrest?"
j "I didn't llko tho squint lu bis eyes,"
