CONTINUKD KEOM SECOND JAOB
i sucicd then by his vitality the
wholesome strength of his nature his
Infinite superiority lie avoided the
terrible mistake of the nihilists by
treating them as children to whom ed
ucation must be given little by little In
stead of throwing down before them
a mass of dangerous knowledge which
their minds unaccustomed to such
strong food are incapable of digesting
Paul was a simple minded man He
was not afraid of the Russian gov
ernment Indeed he cultivated a fine
contempt for that august body But ho
was distinctly afraid of being found
out for that discovery could only
mean an incontinent cessation of the
good work which rendered his life
happy
The fear of being deprived of this
Interest in existence should certainly
have been lessened if not quite allay
ed by the fact that a greater inter
est had been brought Into his life
in the pleasant form of a prospective
wife When he was in London with
Etta Sydney Bamborough he did not
however forget Osterno lie only
longed for the time when lie could
take Etta freely into his confidence
and engage her Interest In the object
of his ambition namely to make the
huge Osterno estate into that lump of
leaven which might in time leaven the
whole of the empire
I think he said one morning to
Steinmetz that I will write and tell
Mrs Sydney Bamborough all about
this place
I should not do that replied Stein
metz with a leisurely promptitude
Why not asked Paul
On principle Never tell a woman
that which is not Interesting enough
to magnify into a secret
Paul turned over his newspaper He
began reading again then suddenly
he looked up
We are engaged to be married he
observed pointedly But I am not go
ing to leave off You need not fear
that Only I shall have to tell my
wife Surely a woman could help us
in a thousand ways There is such a
lot that only a woman understands
Yes grunted Steinmetz and only
the right sort of woman
Paul looked up sharply
You must leave that to me he said
My very dear friend I leave every
thing to you
Paul smiled
You dont know Etta he said half
shyly She is full of sympathy and
pity for these people
Steinmetz bowed gravely
I have no doubt of It
And yet you say that she must not
be told
Certainly not A secret is consider
ably strained if It be divided between
two people Stretching it to three will
probably break it You can tell her
when you are married Does she con
sent to live in Osterno
Oh yes I think so
At this moment the door was opened
and a servant in bright livery with
powdered wig silk stockings and a
countenance which might have been
of wood brought in a letter on a silver
tray
Paul took the square envelope and
turned it over displaying as he did so
a coronet in black and gold on the cor
ner like a stamp Then he opened the
letter and read it
A fresh difficulty said he throw
ing the note across to his companion
Steinmetz looked grave while he un
folded the thick stationery and read
Dear Paul I hear you are at Osterno
and that the Moscow doctor Is in your
country We are In great distress at
Thors cholera I fear The fame of your
doctor has spread to my people and they
are clamoring for him Can you bring or
send him over You know your room
here Is always in readiness Come soon
with the great doctor and also Herr Stein
metz In doing so you will give more
than pleasure to your old friend
CATRINA LANOVITCH
P S Mother is afraid to go out of
doors for fear of infection She thinks
she has a little cold
Steinmetz folded the letter very care
fully pressing the seam of it reflec
tively with his stout forefinger and
thumb
I always think of the lie first he
said Its my nature or my misfor
tune We can easily write and say
We arc starving excellency
that the Moscow doctor has left But
then by doing that we leave these
poor devils to die in their sties Ca
trina cannot manage them They arc
worse than our people
Whatever is the best lie to tell
burst in Paul as we seem to live in
an atmosphere of them I must go to
Thors that is quite certain
And Catrina will find you out at
once
Why
Steinmetz drew in Ids feet He lean
ed forward and knocked his pipe on
one of the logs that lay ready to light
in the great fireplace
Because she loves you he said
shortly There Is no coming the Mos
cow doctor over her
JZL
ssr ijjwsPBassaq
Paul laughed rather awkwardly Ho
was one of the few men dally grow
ing fewer who hold that a womans
love Is not a thing to be tossed lightly
about in conversation
Then he began speaking rather
quickly as if afraid that Steinmetz
was going to say more If he amend
ed you think she will find out she
must not see me that Is all
Steinmetz reflected again He was
unusually grave over this matter One
would scarcely have taken this stout
German for a person of any sentiment
whatever Nevertheless he would
have liked Paul to marry Catrlna Lnn
ovitch In preference to Etta Sydney
Bamborough merely because he
thought that the former loved him
while he felt sure that the latter did
not He keenly suspected that she was
marrying Paul jfor his money for the
position he could give her in the world
We must be careful he said We
must place clearly before ourselves the
risks that we are running before we
come to any decision For you the
risk is simply that of unofficial banish
ment They can hardly send you to
Siberia because you are half an Eng
lishman and that impertinent country
has a habit of getting up and shout
ing when her sons are interfered with
But they can easily make Russia im
possible for you They can do you
more harm than you think They can
do these poor devils of peasants of
yours more harm than we can comfort
ably contemplate As for me he
paused and shrugged his great shoul
ders It means Siberia Already I am
a suspect a persona non grata
I do not see how we can refuse to
help Catrina said Paul in a voice
which Steinmetz seemed to know for
ho suddenly gave in
As you will he said
He sat up and drawing a small table
toward him took up a pen reflectively
Paul watched him in silence
When the letter was finished Stein
metz read it aloud
My Dear Catrlna The Moscow doctor
and your obedient servant will be In Thor3
by 7 oclock tonight We propose spend
ing about an hour In the village If you
will kindly advise the starosta to bo ready
for us As our time is limited and we are
much needed In Osterno we shall have to
deprive ourselves of the pleasure of call
ing at the castle The prince sends kind
remembrances and proposes riding over
to Thors to avail himself of your proffered
hospitality In a day or two With saluta
tions to the countess your old friend
KARL STEINMKTZ
Steinmetz laughed as he folded the
letter He rose and went to the door
I will send it off he said He
paused on the threshold and looked
back gravely Do not forget he
added that Catrina Lanovltch loves
you
CHAPTER XI
ELOW the windows of a long
low stone house in its archi
tecture remarkably like a forti
fied farm below thesedeep em
brasured windows the river Oster
mumbled softly One of the windows
was wide open and with the voice of
the water a wonderful music rolled
out to mingle and lose itself in the
hum of the pine woods
A girl was alone In the room The
presence of any one would have si
lenced something that was throbbing
at the back of the chords Quite sud
denly she stopped She knew how to
play the quaint last notes She knew
something that no master had ever
taught her
She swung round on the stool and
faced the light It was afternoon an
autumn afternoon in Russia and the
pink light made the very best of a face
which was not beautiful at all never
could be beautiful a face about which
even the owner a woman could have
no possible Illusion It was broad and
powerful with eyes too far apart fore
head too broad and low jaw too heavy
mouth too determined The eyes were
almond shaped and slightly sloping
downward and inward deep passion
ate blue eyes set In a Mongolian head
The girl was evidently listening She
glanced at a little golden clock on the
mantelpiece and then at the open win
dow She rose she was short and
somewhat broadly built and went to
the window
He will be back she said to her
self in a few minutes now
She raised her hand to her forehead
and pressed back her hair with a lit
tle movement of impatience express
ive Derhans of a great suspense She
stood idly drumming on the window
sill for a few moments then with a
quick little sigh she went back to the
piano As she moved she gave a jerk
of the head from time to time as
schoolgirls who have too much hair
are wont to do The reason of this
nervous movement was a wondrous
plait of gold reaching far below her
waist Catrina Lanovltch almost wor
shiped her own hair She knew without
any doubt that not one woman in ten
thousand could rival her in this femi
nine glory knew it as indubitably as
she knew that she was plain All her
femininity seemed to be concentrated
all her vanity centered on her hair It
was her one pride perhaps her one
hope Women have been loved for
their voices Catrinas voice was mu
sical enough but it was deep and
strong It was passionate tender if
she wished fascinating but it was not
lovable If the voice may win love
why not the hair
Catrlna despised all men but one
That one she worshiped She lived
night and day with one great desire
beside which heaven and hell were
mere words Neither the hope of the
one nor the fear of the other in any
way touched or affected her desire
She wanted to make Paul Alexis love
her and womanlike she clung to the
one womanly charm that was hers the
wonderful golden hair
Suddenly she stopped playing and
leaped to her feet She did not go to
the window but stood listening beside
the piano The beat of a horses hoofsj
on the narrow road was distinctly an-
liblc hollow and sodden as is the
found of a wooden road It came near
r and nearer and a certain unsteadl
tess indicated that the horse was tired
I thought He might have come she
whispered and she sat down breath
lessly
When the servant came into the
room a few minutes later Catrlna was
at the piano
A letter mademoiselle said the
maid
Lay it on the table answered Ca
trlna without looking round She was
playing the closing bars of a nocturne
She rose slowly turned and seized
the lettor as a starving man seizes
food There was something almost
wolf like in her eyes
Steinmetz she exclaimed reading
the address Steinmetzi Oh why
wont he write to me
She tore open the letter read it and
stood holding it in her hand looking
out over the trackless pine woods with
absorbed speculative eyes The sun
had just set The farthest ridge of pine
trees stood out like the teeth of a saw
in black relief on the rosy sky Catri
na Lanovltch watched the rosiness
fade into pearly gray
Thors lay groaning under the scourge
of cholera and the Countess Lanovltch
shut herself within her stone walls
shivering with fear begging her
daughter to return to St Petersburg
It was nearly dark when Karl Stein
metz and the Moscow doctor rode into
the little village to find the starosta a
simple Russian farmer awaiting them
Steinmetz knew the man and imme
diately took command of the situation
with that unquestioned sense of au
thority which in Russia places the
barin on much the same footing as
that taken by the Anglo Indian in an
eastern empire
Now starosta he said we have
only an hour to spend In Thors This
is the Moscow doctor If you listen to
what he tells you you will soon have
no sickness in the village The worst
houses first and quickly You need
not be afraid but if you do not care to
come in you may stay outside
As they walked down the straggling
village street the Moscow doctor told
the starosta In no measured terms as
was his wont wherein lay the heart of
the sickness Here as in Osterno dirt
and neglect were at the base of all the
trouble
The starosta prudently remained out
side the first house to which he intro
duced the visitors Paul went fearless
ly in while Steinmetz stood in the door
way holding open the door
As he was standing there he perceiv
ed a flickering light approaching him
The light was evidently that of an or
dinary hand lantern and from the
swinging motion it was easy to divine
that it was being carried by some one
who was walking quickly
Who is this asked Steinmetz
It Is likely to be the Countess Ca
trina excellency
Does she visit the cottages asked
Steinmetz sharply
She does God be with herl She has
no fear She Is an angel Without her
we should all be dead
She wont visit this if I can help it
muttered Steinmetz
The light flickered along the mad
toward them In the course of a few
minutes it fell on the stricken cottage
on the starosta standing in the road
on Steinmetz in the doorway
Herr Steinmetz is that you asked
a voice deep and musical in the dark
ness
At your command answered Stein
metz without moving
Catrina came up to him She was
clad in a long dark cloak a dark hat
and wore no gloves She brought with
her a clean aromatic odor of disin
fectants She carried the lantern her
self while behind her walked a man
servant in livery with e large basket
in either hand
It is good of you she said to
come to us in our need also to per
suade the good doctor to come with
you May I go in
She looked up at him expecting him
to step aside and allow her to pass Into
the cottage but Steinmetz stood quite
still looking down at her with his
pleasant smile He did not move
I think not This Moscow man Is
eccentric He likes to do good sub
rosa He prefers to be alone
Catrlna tried to look into the cot
tage but Karl Steinmetz as we know
was fat and filled up the whole door
way
There was a little pause From tht
interior of the cottage came the mur
mured gratitude of the peasants
ken at times by a wail of agony the
wail of a man It is not a pleasant
sound to hear Catrina heard it and it
twisted her plain strong foco in a sud
den spasm of sympathy
Again she made an impitient Itil
movement
Let me go in she urgci T nay
be able to help
At this moment Steinmet was
pushed aside from within and 2 luilk
ing 3 oung man staggered out into the
road propelled from behind will con
siderable vigor After him nao a
shower of clothes and bedding
Pah exclaimed Steinmetz splut
tering Himmel Whut filth Pe care
ful Catrina
But Catrina had slipped past him
In an instant he had caught her by the
wrist
Come back he cried You imt
not go in there
She was just over the threshold
You have some reason for keeping
me out she returned wriggling in his
strong grasp I will I will
With a twist she wrenched herself
free and went into the dimly lighted
room -
Almost immediately she gave a
mocking laugh
Paul she said
For a moment t b was silence In
the hovel broken only by the wall of
the dying man in the corner Paul and
Catrlna faced each other she vhlte
