SOPHIA. PAULOVNA ECZARDY.

'(Continue I.) - • m —> member many days of great misery and mental struggle and hesitation; then I remember that at last I took a resolution which brought me something almost like relief. I remember a long sea voyage across a stormy wintry ocean; a long railway journey across France and Ger- I many and through the forests and over I the snows of Russia. I remember a great strange city, where the people ipoke an incomprehensible language and where it was night nearly all the twenty four hours. I remember a "big, bustling hotel, where the people spoke French and where the gas was kept perpetually burning. I remember walking the streets Of that great dark city day after day for —it may have been a fortnight, it may have been a month. I remember that as I walked those streets I peered anx i iously into the face of every woman whom I passed, hoping, hoping, hoping that somewhere among them I might meet her. But I remember that all my hope was embittered by the thought that no hope could have been more unreason able, none more forlorn. Yet I kept on walking the streets, and I clung to my hope, m defiance of reason, as a drown ing man clings to a straw. At last I remember that one day as I stood m the portico of the hotel I saw a man go prancing by on horseback. He was dressed m a very magnificent uni form,and behind him rode two other men, also m uniform, but less magnificent, manifestly his aides or attendants. I remember that an Englishman who was standing at my side turned to me and asked, "Do you know who that is?" "No," said I. "Who is he?" "That is Gen. Ogaref." "Gen. Ogaref? The name sounds fa miliar, but I can't recall the connec tion m which I have heard it." "Why, he is celebrated for having sent a greater number of Politicals to the gallows or to Siberia than any other of the czar's servitors." "All, yes," I said; "it is m that connec tion that I have heard his name." Then it came back to me, causing my heart to leap and burn, that it was Gen. Ogaref who had condemned Dr. Eczardy to his Siberian exile. That same day, perhaps an hour later, I was walking upon one of the islands of the Neva. Presently I came upon a great surging, excited crowd. "What is the trouble? Why the crowd?" I asked m French of a gentle man at my elbow. "They say that Gen. Ogaref has been shot. He was riding out accompanied by a couple of aides, when, just above there, where the crowd is densest, a young woman sprang toward him from the footpath and fired a bullet straight through his heart. Nihilist, of course." "Ah! The young woman—who was She?" "I have not heard her name. Ido not know if the police have learned it." "But she has been arrested, I suppose?" "Why, no. That's just the point. It appears that, having shot the general, before she could ba apprehended she emptied two chambers of her revolver into her own breast and fell down dead." The police were by this time forcing an alleyway through the crowd. By and by two policemen marched through the alleyway carrying a stretcher. Upon that stretcher, ghastly m his magnifi cent uniform, lay Gen. Ogaref, dead. Two more policemen followed, bear ing a second stretcher. 1 "It is she, it is she, the assassinl" mur mured the crowd, and there was an eager pressing forward to catch sight of her. Upon this second stretcher, white and beautiful and still, lay Sophia Paulovna Eczardy, dead. : For many weeks I tossed upon a pallet m the English hospital beside myself m a fever. Then I returned to reason, and gradually to health. But I wished that I had died. The romance of my life was over; the tragedy of my life had been played out. i THE END.

! j Namesakes. I A well known writer was telling a friend about some of her numerous godchildren who are scattered all over the county. They are of all ages and nationalities, but the most remarkable one is a little colored child m Washing ton. , When I went there one winter my washerwoman told me she had named her new baby for me, and asked if I [ wouldn't come and see it. So, armed (with a large rattle as a propitiatory offering, I visited the baby. What was my surprise to hear the mother and all the children speak of her aa "Gene vieve!" : "Why," I said, "I thought you told me she was named for me?" | "Yas'm, so she shorely is." : "But my name is Harriet," I insisted, "and you call your baby 'Genevieve.'" 1 "Laws, mis'," exclaimed the mother, with a broad grin, "Geuevieve 'scribes you bo much, better'n Harr'et doesl' 1 The Cost of Xiving. 1 While many skilled mechanics can command from $1,200 to $1,500 a year, working from seven to nine hours daily, clerks and accountants seldom reach that income, and many young professional men, ministers and doctors, pass some of their best years m attaining it. The as sertion is all very well that a person can not live on euch a sum as $3 a week, for instance; tho cold fact remains that peo ple do just that, and live well, too. Of course a number associated can fare better than two or three persons, for every housewife knows the advantage of relying upon the appetite or dietetic pe culiarities of many individuals t2jtrikg a. balance m table accounts.' *T' ■ i Second Thoughts. i Miss Olde—Second thoughts are best, Mr. Starr, and I've concluded to give a different answer to your proposal of last night.
