By F. A. MITCHEL
During one of the incursions of the
Russian armies into tierman territory
a general, passing the estate of a noble,
said to one of his aids:
"Captain Ivanovich, 1 wish you to re
main here till you get further orders
from me. Take half a dozen couriers
from my escort, amt whenever you see
or hear of any movement of the enemy
semi mo word immediately."
Captain Ivan Ivanovich left the stud,
directed the commander of the escort
to detail six men to attend him and, fol
lowed by them, rode into tlit* grounds
of the house, which was set uikhi an
eminence and commanded a view of
the surrounding country. Dismounting
at the main entrance, lie went, up ou to
the porch and rupped loudly on the
door with the hill of his sword. An old
man appeared, who seemed to be a
major domo, and the captain said to
him:
"I desire quarters here for awhile for
myself and my men.”
The old man invited him In, telling
him that the family, on the appearance
of foreign troops, lmd left the premises
in his care and gone elsewhere.
The captain chose a room for himself
on the second floor and quartered his
men In the basement, for Ivan Ivano
vich, being a noble himself and a re
fined man, felt disposed to treat the
place as he would wish his father's es
tate far back In Russia to be treated
If the fortunes of war should bring
about its occupation by the enemy
Having thus taken inissesslou of his
quarters, lie asked the major domo,
Deter, if there was anything lo eat In
the house. I’eter said that, there was.
but no one except himself to cook it.
But, since he had beeu a etief, he could
get up a meal of such provisions as
were in the house. The captain direct
ed him to prepare breakfast for him
and give the men such supplies as they
needed.
Having refreshed himself, Captala
Ivanovich went out on the porch, which
extended entirely around the house,
and made the circuit, now and again
ruising u pair of binoculars to examine
rising smoke here, a flag t here,
strong position ou the crest of the hill
—anything, in short, that, might be of
military importance. There was no
flag In sight except the Russian impe
rial standard, and the captain, lowering
Ills glasses, went back into the house.
Being lice lo use the library, he took
down n book and, being a student as
well as u soldier, was soon lost in its
contents.
The next morning it occurred to him
that a cupola that topped the house
would afford him a better view of the
surroundings, and he started to go uj>
there for tile purpose. Finding the door
leading from the second floor to the
third locked, he called to Peter for the
key.
“I haven't the key, excellency," said
Peter. “When the family left the prern
Ises they placed articles valuable only
to themselves, such ns jsijicrs and heir
looms, on the floor above, locked the
door and took Iho key with them."
Ivanovich could have forced the door
but, as has been said, he was a refilled
mun, unfitted for the barbarous side of
war, so lie concluded to be content
with the view he could get from the
porch. Quite likely he was also Influ
enced by the earnest look on Peter's
face, which indicated anxiety that he
should not intrude on the floor where
the family heirlooms and archives had
beeu stored.
One night while Ivanovich was lying
awake he heard a sound without hi?
room, ill a large open space, throng
which ran a massive stairway. Soldier
in an enemy's country are naturally on
the lookout for danger, and, taking Ills
pistol from under Ills pillow, lie got out
of lied and walked noiselessly ou hi
bare feet to the door, which was ajar,
and peeped out. A surprising sight
met his view.
Bright moonlight was streaming in
through a large window at the head of
the staircase and dimly illuminated
what at first the captain conceived to
be an gngel. It was a female figure
robed In white. It was standing as If
to listen. The face was sufficiently
lighted to indicate that it was that of n
young girl. On second thought Ivano
vich believed that the figure was one of
flesh arid blood wearing a nightgown
and walking In sleep.
The figure presently started on. de
scended the staircase arid disappeared
in the darkness. Ivanovich, too honor
able to follow, remained where he was,
thinking that probably the girl would
return. Ills anticipation was realized
.She reappeared holding something in
her hand, though the watcher could not
see what it was. Ascending to the door
opening on the third story, she passed
in and closed it behind her. Ivanovich
listened and heard a faint sound, like
the grating of a bolt moving in a lock.
There was no doubt in the captain's
mind that this girl was ensconced on
the floor above and that Peter knew of
her presence there. Who she was,
whether any one else was with her, he
knew not. He resolved to keep his
own counsel, at least for awhile. It
was evident that a woman was hiding
on the floor above, and he did not con
ceive it to be bis duty to disturb her.
Indeed, he had already been sickened
by the bottom of war and ready to
shield any of its victims even among
his country's foes.
But Captain Ivanovich I hereafter
kept ills eyes and ears open. Me walk
'll around the liouse, looking up at tin
windows, The blinds were all closed,
mid there was not a sign of life to lie
seen. "After all." lie said to himself,
1 wonder IF 1 could have dreamed it."
However, Ivanovich repudiated this
idea, lie lmd seen a figure robed in
while descend the staircase, return
and disappear through the door lead
ing to tile floor above. Of this tie
was certain, and the absence of any
appearance of life there did not con
vince him that he was in error.
Soon after the appearance of the
•mysterious figure the captain's atten
tion was diverted from Its considera
tion by the appearance of a large force
of the enemy to the southeast. He
dispatched a courier to find the gen
eral, if possible, and inter, hearing
heavy firing and seeing columns of
smoke In tile same direction, he dis
patched another courier with another
messuge.
These matters having been attended
to, the young captain's mind again re
verted to the mystery of the upper
story. lie said nothing to his men
about the mailer, fearing that if he
did he would excite a desire on their
part to investigate, whereas if there
were any investigating to he done he
preferred to do it himself. One day
one of the troopers came to him and
told him tliut lie hud better leave Ills
quarters, for the man was sure the
house was haunted. lie had seen In
the middle of the night a figure eltul
in white standing at an upper window.
The superstitious Russian, having con
sidered the third story vacant, natural
ly regurded the figure at the window a»
a wraith. Ivanovich told him tbul. the
figure lie hud seen muBt have been an
illusion, but failed to convince him.
There was a hillside buck of the
house, covered by trees. Ivanovich
went out there with his binoculars und
remained a long while, watching what
was going on. The- distance was too
great for him to gain much knowl
edge of any value, but he kept Ids
watch Ill! satisfied that It was useless,
then turned and was emerging from
the wood, when, casting an eye ut a
window on the third story of the
house, he saw standing there a young
girl looking at, what he had been ob
serving.
This time the sun was shining full in
her face, and the captain saw not. only
that she was comely, but there was on
her features that anxiety which Is so
touching in the young. Realizing that,
if she saw she was discovered It would
add to her distress, he remained in con
cenIntent t 111 she withdrew, closing tin
window.
That face, once seen by moonlight
and again by sunlight, produced a vivid
Impression on Ivan Ivanovich. It float
ed before him during the day, and at
night lie saw the wruithllku figure de
scending the staircase. It was evident
thut a girl was hiding, and it was pos
sible that there was some other cause
for suffering (him fear of an enemy.
The location was Herman I’olnnd, and
I’eter had told him that the residents
of the house were l’oles. But In war
time one is as likely lo be plundered by
friends as enemies.
flue night Ivanovich heard quick
footsteps overhead. Getting out of bod
and putting on some of his clothing, lie
went out and listened ut the door lead
ing to the third story. He heard signs
of something happening above. Then
the door was unlocked and a woman—
tills time dressed In ordinary npjmrel—
came out. und met him face to face.
Nlie turned to go back, but Ivanovich
said:
"Von have nothing to fear from mo.
Tell me if there is anything 1 can do
for you."
Having been thus given confidence,
(he girl revealed the mystery. When
the. Russians appeared In the region
her mother, herself and her brother,
aged seventeen, a wounded conscript
In the German army, expecting to he
murdered, retreated to the third story,
leaving I'ctor to deceive, if possible,
whoever might come. They had taken
provisions with (hem and would have
got on had It not been for the wounded
boy, who was deprived of medical cure.
The night site had appeared on the
staircase she was going below for a
bottle of medicine which a surgeon
had left for the use of the invalid. On
this her second appearance her brother
was much worse, and she was trying
to steal out with a view to getting
medical advice as to what to do for
him. She closed her explanation with
pleading that Ivanovich should not
make her brother u prisoner, for if dc
prived of her and her mother’s tender
care lie would surely die.
The captain, having assured her that,
though an enemy, he had a heart, went
below and ordered one <rf Ids men to
find a surgeon and bring him there at
once. Then he went upstairs and found
the mother and the wounded boy.
whose fours he allayed. They were
comfortable so far as their quarters
were concerned, und be ordered Deter
to bring them properly prepared food.
A surgeon arrived in due time and
treated the wounded boy. who began
at once to improve.
A week passed after the unveiling of
the mystery liefore <'aptain Ivanovich
and Ids men were withdrawn from
their quarters. During this week the
young officer by Ills consideration for
Ills captors secured the good will of the
mother and the son and a more tender
response from the girl. When he left
her there was an interview between
them, the result of which was known
only lo themselves, though there can
lie bill little doubt that they referred to
what might lie when the war should be
over and peace should return to take
the place of one of those periodic re
turns to barbarism to which the world
bus thus far beeu subject.
Mystery About Precious Stones.
That the diamond and other pre
cious stones were made In the tin-
fathomed and fiery caves of earth and
brought to the surface by volcanic or
other upheaval, is well established,
especially In regard to those of the
South African fields; but more myste
rious than this Is thut they have been
found in the paths of the ancient gin
cial drifts of North America. They
are held to be very vaguely related to
all crystalline forms which are others
of the mysteries.
