The Story of a Russian Convict’s
Rife.
no mascleo at all. Ha waa nothing bnt a
walking anatomy, with a law raga by way of
cowing—and only a Tory low.
From tho London Boeletjr.
I am a Lancaohiro man and I rota from tho
; ranbi. 1 began liio much aa other mill handa
1 do; bnt my-htad wai tot tho right way on my
| ahouldera, and 1 got to bo an ororlooker. Fire
1 and twenty year, ago, when a groat EoglUh
firm, whoaa operations extend over many purta
ol Russia, started a cotton mill
at Ekaterinburg, I wai oSered
| post aa manager. Ekaterinburg ia, aa I dare
'nay you know, on tbe Siberian aide ol the
Ural mountains, and in the heart ol the goT-
eminent mining dl.triota. A man thtnka
twice before ho trues porta himself and his
family to such a place, but I had made up
my mind to get on,and thia was a good chance
to one in my position.
I was cot disappointed. I looked after tho
mill, end it prospered. We north country
operatives are a tbrllty folk, and like living in
a plain way. I saved money; and aa it was
tho policy of the firm to keep me In my post
and to give me a personal internet in the un
dertaking, I wsa allowed to Inveet my few
hundred ot roubles in the mill.
Thuo commooplsco particulars about my
own affairs can hero very little interest for
yon, sir. I only tell tbem because otherwise
you would scarcely understand what has to
follow.
One evening, late in onr short Russian sum
mer, when the long daro wart tut drawing in,
wa were in onr family sitting room, I engaged
with soma ot the mill acoouuts, and my wife
with her aawisg, when Lottie, our oldest
I danatber, rushed in, and, without a word,
fainted right away on the floor.
This did not mere frighten my wile end
myself than it eurpristd ns, for Lottie waa a
sensible girl and had ntvse given way to any
hysterical fancies before. Wo knew that it
must have taken a good deal to npset her In
that way, and as soon as wa had eontrived to
bring her round, wa made her tall oa what had
bton tbe matter.
’ It seemed that she had boenalonaln her
ro in, whan, turning suddenly toward the
window, aha became aware of a face pressed
closely against the window and glaring at her.
Whet tho face wsa like she wai unable to
d.'ciibo, bot It appeared too ogly and horri
ble fora human being. If It could have been
celled that of a man or woman aha laid aha
should not hava been so frightened.
1 wont out and looked round tho homo.
Nothing was to bo seen. We know Lottie to
bo a sensible girl, but wo wore lnollnod to
think that her tonoy must have played bora
trick for once.
Aft r a timo my wife loft the room to
about onr supper. My wife (she hat boon
dead these nine years) had u strong nerves as
any woman that I over koew—nothing orer
teemed to knock her off her balance. Wall,
tbe cape bsck in a minute
or two, and beckoned me to tha door. She
was c.,m enough, but I could saa by her ftoa
t a >o mething woo wrong. She would not
Sty wbst the had to say before tho girl for
fear of frightening her again. So ibo . uhi*-
—pei.d to u.uo I,run must hbvs beoa
right, there is scinclhicg about. When 1
opened tho door oi the klsdovoy" (the larder
■ that if) “I heard something at the window,
whatever It may have be«a it took alarm, and
did not let mo see It; hut It has left its marks
cn the lattice.'’
I followed her silently to the klsdovoy. Ail
Waa sow qutol there. I examined tho fortooh-
/ka—aa in Russia wo call tho little window of
/ such n plica. In summer time Us glass ease
ment wai ramovod, and U was now only pro
tected by a lattice of crowed strips of firwosd.
There stripe wore slightly displaced,at If lome
ozo had triad to fores them out and that to
gain entrance. The fortoehka was about
large enough to here admitted tha body of a
mar-
Nothing was to be seen by looking oul, for
though a reasonable amount of twilight still
remained, it wss only enough to a how things
Without any distinctness in the open, and ( baa
sheltered tha back of our house by planting a
number of young fir trees. I whispered to my
wile that ana should go back to LotVaend that
I would stay where I waa tor a bit, and sea
whether tho robber-if U was a robber—
Would como again.
It waa scarcely to be called late, yet It wsl
loo late for any ol our mill people to be about,
and they wore our only neighbors. Indeed,
we hsd no near neighbors. My house and
one adjoining it (intended tor another em
ploye, but at that lime unoccupied), stood
partly within tha high wooden fanes
which inclosed tho mill; that Is, their backs
opened into tha incloeora (tha dvor, as wo
call it,) their Ironla looked on a public thor
oughfare. Thus onr back promises wars
strictly private after the galas to tho mill bod
been closed, and tho person—If it wu a per
son—who had got to the window! most either
have ecersted himself within tho dvor, or hava
gained access to it In torn* improper manner.
Now, however, all wu autill u oonld be. -
Down 1 aat, to watcb, close by tba door of
lha klsdovoy. I eboso adark corner, and one
Where, in the dusk, it would have bean a hard
matter io ue me, bnt I had a lull view ol tbs
lattice. I waited till my patience wu bog in
ning to wear out, and then fancied that I
heard aomo slight sound outside under tho
forlocbke. It wu to olight that ot first I wu
not sura whether it might not bo merely fancy,
but alter a little pause I heard it again, loader
end more distinctly, list still u a mouse,
and kept a sharp lookout.
Slowly and gradually something ratted
ltiolf before tho opening. It wu a head; bnt
in tho uncertain light I could not oay whether
it wu a human head or that of some brats
creature. Whichever it might bo, I oonld sea
enough of it to know that it wai snob
a wild, hsggud, unearthly looking thing
aal had never looked upon before. Any
quantity of tbaggy hair wu banging
about It, and its only fsatnru to speak ol
termed to bo eyes. Eyas it had past all ml*-
take. Haver did I see anything Ilka tba way
in which it gland atoor good provisions with
in. I have seen what s tarnished wolf look*
ilke, and I should hardly think a famished
woll worth comparison with that
rrealuro. It wu ravenous after what It (aw.
Up beside the head came two buschas ol long
clows, which wrenched at the woodan lattice
work u It to tear It down. Bat they ware loo
weak, the strips hold fist. And thin the
thing fell to with its tooth to gntw a way
through.
While tha creature wu thus engtged, I con
trived to slip quietly from my dark corner by
the deer, and catching ups big click, wen! out
at tho back ot tha home. I stole round u
noiselessly si I could toward tha window.
There were, u I said, young fir treu oa tbat
aide of tbe house, so that with a little ears it
wu not difficult to approach tba place undob-
.served. Whan I got to within a few yards I

Tho poor wretch had no tort ol condition
about him-ho wu mere skip and bonw-
overy tooth in hi* head chatter; and then I
laid him flat on hit back.
I had bun long enough in the country to
gain soma knowledge of Rnuian. I could
use it pietty freely to our mill people, end I
must own tbit for tormt in which to black
guard a set ol luy rascals, as most of those
fellows ore, Billingsgate isn't a patch on it.
Bo I could moba my prisoner understand ms.
"Now then, my friend,’’ I sud to him, "yon
needn't taka tho trouble to show aoy more
fight. You oeo it won't psy. So just get up
end mtrek quietly off with me to tbo ouoha-
stok"—tba ouehutok being, so you porhaps
know, equivalent to tha police station in Bag-

Bnt instead of getting up, and doing what

The poor wretch made do direct answer, bnt
only reiterated his entreaties that I would not
give him up. I began to have some suspicion
ol the nuihty ot my guest. "I am inotluad to
think,” I said, "that you are neither more nor
len than an escaped convict."
Instead of attompUog to deny it, ho only
begged mo to pity him as before.

I would only set him freo ha would go on at

Thet wu about tho onbotanco of thr fallow's

hla ataUmento, and I wu Inclined to believe
bin. “It’e sheer nouenge,” I slid, “for you

Tbe miserable wretch hardly believed that
I really meant to feed him, and would bare

empty house, of whlob I had tha key. and
fetched him u much food as I thought it oafo
for bin to Mi.
Bo there I wu, with an escaped convict on
my kudo. Had 1 been more prudent I should
have reflected that tha fellow wu most likoly
a hardened scoundrel, qmto undeserving of

shown either by robbing me, or it ho should
happen to tall Into tba handa of tha police, by

with wooden ihlngleo.
A good many poopls were aoon got together,
motUy our own hands, and I directed and
encouraged them as woll u I could to gat tho
fire under. Bnt they were a atolid, heavy act
of tellowo, those Ruuiaus, and the way in
which they take care not to over-exert them'
selves at a firs is enough to drive an Boglisb'
man wild. Yet there were soma few who
worked well, and one tallow in partienlar,!
noticed, a ragged fallow, a beggar I took him
to be, who really worked splendidly, and In n
way tbat ought to have made many of thou
whoso daily bread depended on tbo existence
ol tbe mill ashamed of themselves.
What between tha apathy of thoaa lair
.joundrell generally, and want ot water, ft
wu soon plain that the ahoda which ware on
lire eontd not b* saved, and that what wa
bad to look to wu tho mill itself. Tho dan
ger ot tbe main building wu Increulng

mahe its way along tbo abinglod root ot
which I spoke.
I could see what bad to bo done—thou
shingles had to ba stripped off. I bad a ltd.

for volunteer! to mount it. Toe height of
tbat rool from the ground wai considerable,
end tbo fire wu every moment getting mors
and mors bold upon it. To atrip offths
shingles would ba a hard job. and a hot one,
end it io not to bu denied, a dangerous one.
Not one ofthoss cold blooded rucale who had
eaten onr bread for yean would come for

told tbem I wu going np myoell. I offered
twenty roublei—fifty roubles—to any man
who would help me. Bat it wu ot no am.
Just when I wss shout to mount alone, the
ragged stranger fellow whom I htd before
observed working to vigorously, etmo run
ning up. Ha bad bean too bum in another
place to know what wu going forward sooner.
Tbotwu scarcely a timo for taking aoy par
ticular notice ol people'* looks, yet I had an
impression that ha wu not altogether a stran

Ha looked up the roof. The delay of thoss
