'KG6fc your things together, wifef w© must fly—anywhere. If we do not wo sha.ll bo lost, and all for nothing." "Vv'liiit!" &ke asked. "Have you be come so f lightened that you want to run away?" "How can I be otherwise than fright ened? The governor baa ordered me to build a new cathedral, and all in one day. If Ido not build it he threatened that he would cut off my head. Only oao thing is left—to run away while there is time." The wife did not accept this sugges tion. . "The governor has many servants, and wherever we go we shall be caught," she said. "You cannot escape him, and co long as we have power we must obey." "But how to obey when it is beyond me?' "Little father! do not grieve. Tako your supper und go to bed. In the moru iug you will get up and everything will bo all right." Emelyan went to bed. The wife awoke him. "Go," she said; "go quickly and get your cathedral built. Here you have nails and a hammer, and there is only one day's work left for you." Emelyan went to the city, arrived at the palace and behold! there was a new cathedral standing in the middle of the square, wanting only a little of being finished. Emelyan started to give it the finishing touches where they were re quired, and by the evening everything was complete. The governor awoke up, looked out from the palace and saw —the cathedral.with Emelyan walking around it, merely putting in a nail here and there. The sight of the cathedral did not glad den the heart of the governor. He was furious at having no opportunity of be heading Emelyan and taking his wife. The governor calls his servants again. "Emelyan fulfilled this task also," he sold. ' 'We must invent something more complicated for him. Invent it. If you do not I will behead you first." His servants contrived that the governor should order Emelyan to make a river flowing around the palace, with large vessels floating on it. The governor or dered Emelyan to perform this new task. "If," he said, "you could build a cathedral in one day, you can do this also. All must be ready tomorrow, as I have ordered it. If it is not ready your head will be cut off." Emelyan became more dejected than ever, and returned with the gloomiest . of laces.-" " "Why," she said, "are you so gloomy? Haa something new been ordered?" Emelyan told her all. "It is necessary," he said, "to run." "It is impossible to run away," she said. "We shall be caught wherever we go. We must obey." "But how obey?" "Oh, little father, do not trouble about anything 1 Take your supper and lie down to sleep. Get up earlier and every thing will be in time." Emelyan lay down to sleep. In the morning the wife wakes him up. "Go," she said, "into the city. All is ready. There is only a little hillock left besido the harbor. Take your spade and level it." Emelyan went and arrived at the city. Hound the palace ran a river; vessels were floating on it. Emelyan went to the harbor and saw there a hillock, which he started to level. The gov ernor wakes up, looks out and sees—a river where previously there had been none. Gu the river vessels were float ing, and Emelyan with the spade is lev eling the hillock. The governor was astounded, and he was not pleased with either the river or the vessels, being vexed to think that he could not behead Emelyan. He thinks to himself: "There is nothing that he cannot do. What is it to be now?" He called the servants and began to consult with them. "Invent for me," he says, "a task that Emelyan cannot fulfill, for all that we have hitherto invented he has done, and I cannot take away his wife." The servants thought and thought, and at last they found something. They went to the governor and said: "Call Emelyan and speak to him thuft *Gk> there, without knowing where, and bring that, without knowing what.' "Wherever he goes you can then say that he has not gone where he was needed, and whatever he brings yon can say that it is .not what is wanted. He can then lie beheaded and his wife taken." The governor was delighted. "This," he said, "you have invented wisely." He sent for Emelyan and said to him: "Go there, without knowing where, and bring that, without knowing what. If yon do not bring it I shall cut off your head." Emelyan went to his wife and told her what the governor had said. The wife pondered. "Now," she said, "they have taught the governor a lesson that he himself will suffer by. The thing has to be managed wisely." She sat down, reflected, and spoke to her husband as follows: "You will have to go far—to our grandmother—to our old peasant moth er. You must implore her kindness and you will receive something from her. You must then go straight to the gov ernor and I shall be there. This time I shall not be able to escape from their bands. They will take me by force, but it will, not be for long. If you do all the grandmother tells you, you will soon free me." The wife prepared her husband for the journey, giving him a small bag and » spindle. "Give this spindle to our grandmoth er," she said. "By this she will know that you are my husband." The wife showed him the way and JSmelyan started on his jotirney. After Jeaving the city he saw some freeshoot *rs (strelitz) practicing. Emelyan stop ped and looked on. The freeshooters practiced for awhile and then sat down to rest. Emelyan went up to them and asked: "Don't you know, brothers, which if the way to go one knows not where,

J and how one is to bring one knows noi [ what?" ' The freeahootera wore astonished at the, question. "Who," they said, "has Bent you to find that?" "The governor." "No," they said, "we cannot help you." Emelyan, after Bitting awhile, got np and went on farther. He journeyed on and on, and came to a forest. In the forest was a hut. In the hut eat an old crone—the old peasant mother —spinning flax and crying. The old woman saw Emelyan and screamed out: "What have you come for?^' Emelyan gave her the spindle and said his wife had sent him to her. The old woman immediately became milder in her manner, and began to question him. Emelyan started to tell her all his life how he married the girl; how he moved over to the city to live; how he was taken on as a man of all work; how he served the governor; how he built the cathedral; how he made the river with the vessels on it, and how the governor had ordered him to go there, without knowing where, and bring that, without knowing what. The old woman listened and stopped to weep. She began muttering to her self. "All right," the said) "sit down, lit tle son, and eat." Emelyan ate, and the old womam started giving him instructions. "Here," she said, "you have a ball, 801 lit before you, and go after It wherever it runs. You will have to go a long way—to the ocean. You will get to the ocean, and there yon will sea a large city. Enter the city, and ask in the farthest house for a night's lodging. There you must search for what you need." "But how, grandmother, ehall I know what it is?" "When you see what people obey bet ter than father or mother that will be the thing. Catch hold of it and carry it away. You will bring it to the governor; he will tell you that you have not brought what was needed, and you must then say, 'If this is not the thing it must be broken in pieces.' Beat upon it and then take it to the river; break it and throw it into the water. You will then get back your wife." Emelyan bade the grandmother good- j by and departed, rolling the ball before him. The ball rolled and rolled and brought him to the ocean. By the ocean was a large city. At the far end of it was a big house. Emelyan asked for leave to sleep in the house and was ad mitted, He lay down to sleep. Early in the morning he awoke and heard the father going up to arouse his son that he might send him to chop wood. The son does not obey. "It is early yet," be says; "there ia time." Emelyan hears the mother getting down from the oven, and she saysi "Go, my little Bon; the father's bones are aching. Must he go himself? It is time." The son merely smacked his lips and slept once more, While he slept there arose a terrible noise in the street and a beating, as of drums. The son jumped up, put on his clothes and ran out into the street. Emelyan also jumped up and ran after him. "What is that which the son obeyed better than father or mother?" Emelyan ran out and saw a man go ing along the street and carrying a round thing on which he beat with sticks and which rumbled. This thing the son obeyed. Emelyan ran toward it, began to examine it and saw —a thing that was round, like a barrel, and had both ends covered with skin. He began to ask what it was called. "A drum," the man said. Emelyan was surprised and he asked that it should be given him, It was not given. Emelyan gave up asking and commenced to walk after the man. He walked all day, and when the man lay down to sleep Emelyan snatched the drum away and ran off with it. He ran and ran and came home to his own city, He thought that he would see his wife, but she was no longer there. She had been taken off the next day to the gov ernor. Emelyan reported «to the governors "He who went there, without knowing where, has brought that, without know ing what." The announcement was made. The | governor ordered that Emelyan should come the next day. Emelyan started to announce himself again. "I have come today," he said, "and have brought what was ordered. Let the governor come out to me; if not, I will myself go in." The governor went out. "Where," he says, "have you been?" Hs answered. "You have not been there," said the governor. "But what did you bring?" Emelyan wanted to show him, but the governor did not want to look. "That is not it," he said. "If it is not," said Emelyan, "it must be broken, and the devil with it." Emelyan went out with the drum and beat upon it. As he beat upon it all the military of the province collected around Emelyan. They saluted him and waited for orders from him. The governor be gan shouting out to his soldiers that they should not follow Emelyan. They paid no attention, but all marched after him. The governor saw it and ordered that Emelyan's wife should be brought out before him. He asked that Emelyan give him up the drum. "I cannot," said Emelyan; "I have orders to break it and throw the pieces in the river." Emelyan went with the drum to the river, and the soldiers followed him. Near the river Emelyan broke the drum skin. He broke the wood into small fragments and threw them into the river. And all the soldiers ran away. Emelyan took his wife and led her home. From this time the governor ceased bothering him, and Emelyan be gan to live comfortably, gathering around him the good things of life and ridding himself of the bad.—Count Tol stoi in New York Sun.
