1 l.chin, chief of the feared Third boc
t.on, or secret police, enjoys a fine
reputation for bribe taking. And ilka
master like servant. Sojgt little time
ago a Jewish merchant went to the
chief's office to secure a license for a
roulette establishment. He was re
ceived by hit excellency’s secretary
W. S. Sybiii, "1 think l can work it,"
said the agreeable Sygin, “though
his excellency would not hear of sucli
a thing as licensing gambling In the
interest of a mere Jew. However, as
bis wife. Mine. Lopuchin, Is more toler
ant with respect to religion, the li
cense is as good as. yours if you will
bring me a necklase worth fiom 2,000
lo 2,600 roubles for her.
Two days later Sybin had the neck
lace in his possesson, but a week pass
ed and no licensp. Abraham Isaaco
v '.h became anxious, Ihen frightened.
Finally he approached the majestia
By bin once more and asked him what
i f-d become ot the necklace and his
license. “Eveiytlilng goes swimming

r(ady half won over her excellency;
she promised to go with me to the
Michael theater tonight. There in the
<■( zy i. cold bottle at our
side, the compact will be sealed. Per
•rtaps you can let me have 50 roubles
to treat her excellency in the style

Abraham isaacovitch threw 100 rou
bles after his 2,500 and bought himself
a. gallery ticket for the Michael thea
ter, being anxious to see hi3 patron
end the chief's wife drink champagne
a his expenes. Some time after the
sho wcommenced the secretary and
bis lady appeared in a 20 rouble box,
hrd Oh joy, her' excellency wore Abe’s
diamond necklace on her stunning
white neck. Abraham Isaacovitch
shook hands with himself and took
rtax''delight in seeing the pair dis
patch the wine for which he had paid
for her ladyship smiled and giggled
and . .patted the secretary’s knee with
her fan surely it was all fixed and Abe
would get hi 3 license. However ,he
was determined to see the -thing out
and followed the pair’s sleigh when
Huy left. Strange, the vehicle stop
ped before a hotel of doubtful reputa
tion .and the porter, on receiving a
rouble, told the prospective gamgler
king that he knew the pair well —Sy-
t:n and his gnu, a milliner.
The following morning Abraham
I.saacavitch laid his grievance before
Hie minister of the interior, who sum
marily discharged the secretary, but
warned the robbed man not to make
a row about the necklace, as during

prosecuted for daring to offer bribes
to officials.
