C II APTF.lt I. r:.r .lay af the Landlord, followed by"his F.rr-iy of refiners, passed Jemdjan's hut.

: n was trie meanest on his domain, the i.-.mt's ysur.K anl beautiful wife came : to fco tie Ma-ter. And the Landlord's U-U up. fa h r fresh and youthful face. What !. i:ty," he crle-l. and ordered his fuze str.w.f.l. He called the woman to l-.or ft th- coach and a.kcdr "wv,

l. i ' thou?" 'JrniHj.in', th peasant's wife, to be F .r-." he al swerrd. A mi.railo mujik's drudge, thou who xr.Uht bo a princess, " exclaimed the LandIon!; -that'? what I call beauty and the i i-t. in. lee.." Thank?, jour Lordship, for your good r; .nion." replied the girl with a courtesy, i ;t I like my mujik very well." A fur pujing her Fome more compliments tLo Landing continued on his way, but I!:'- thought' of the woman's beauty lingered in hi mind and wouldn't let him r. -t at nigi't. "I must have the tenant's iraty partrer." be said, "but to take her by force wouldn't do. Such proceeding?, fashionable Enough In bygone days, would rtir up far -too much trouble now when t'i- newspapers are making an elephant 0 .t of every, mole hill." In tho m-rning he called together his 1 ;-dne?s managers, stewards and overseers rr.d laid the case before them. They Thought it Cer and then paid: "Your Lordphip having graciously decided to abstain from taklr.J? what3 yours by plpnorial risht, there' Is but one thing to do. You mut attach Jemeljan to your personal

f rvice and jeek to ruin him by hard work, disgrace an i punishment. When he Is broken in health" and mind, he wilt die and you can hav hif widow." The Landlord thought this excellent advice and ordered the mujik to come to the palace at oiiee. bringing hi? wife and furniture, as henceforth he would be permitted to live on tl e royal domain. Lmeljan . obeyed, but came alone 'Where's jfmr wife?" asked the. Marshal. "I po.sse-; a hut of my own," replied Jeineljan, '"and, with your permission, will g home ni-;hts. My woman will not tramp the country with rne." Not wishlvig to arouse the peasant's sus4 ricions. th Marshal let this pass, but

pave him -labors to perform that would ftauvrer twt ordinary nun. cautioning him at the sam: time that he must get through by 7 In 'the evening, lest there be trouble. Jeineljan almost despaired of blng able to finish the work in time, but going ahead '-rdth a will finished his work before"dusk. When he 'came home he found his place In first-clais order; the fire was lit and upper waiting, while bis good wife sat at the windov- knitting. At the end of the jneal bis wfe asked Jemeljan how he liked Iiis new occtipation. "Don't ll'ie it at all." answered the mu21k; "it's n'ore than I can stand; they will kill me If iey go on as they do." "He of ?;ood cheer," replied the wife; ''never an'icipate not being able to do a thing. Just: pitch in and all will be will." When Jeineljan appeared at the palace jiext mornihg the Marshal set him to work nt a. job rfiulring twice the amount of labor asked of him tho day before, but the mujik. following his wife's advice, got through even quicker than on the first day. Then the Slarshal decided that the peasRnfs cap;jcity for work was practically limitless jnd. accordingly, increased his burden still more, adding to his duties every mnrnlrg. but without gaining his point; Jemeljan neither grumbled nor failed In performance. Thus u week went by. "When tae Landlord's administrator saw that Jemeljan couldn't be killed by excesfive manual labor he ordered him to undertake Jobs :.Hiuirlng certain technical knowledge that no mujik possesses. He put him to make furniture and to engage in masonry and builder's work. Still Jemeljan was equal to crery task, performing his duties quickly an'l with marked ability. ClIAPTr.K II. Tiumplinnt Drmlcery. On Sunday morning tbe Landlord assembled t.ic beads of his administration and addressed them as follows: "Laggards, do you th'.ik I am feeding you for nothing? Fourteen days aso I ordered a certain tiling of ion, vet my wish is still unfulfilled. "You promised to kill Jemeljan by hard labor idle boast. I m o him go home nightly full of jo;, and health. It most looks as If you were pooling your master." The Marshal, speaking for the rest, excused hinr-olf as well as he could. He had tried overt thing, work that would break a camel's b.fek and work liable to batlle the capabilities of a trained artisan it was no vse. "Hut now 1 have thought of something tha'. will certainly bring matters to a climax ho continued. "May your Lordchip b p'eased to send for Jemeljan and order hin to build a church during the twelve boars from sunrise to sundown tomorrow. If lie can't do that, we will cut off his he-id as a disobedient servant." The Lardlord considered this a good plan nd the -:aujik was forthwith brought in. Noticing'-your extraordinary capabilities." raid the Landlord. "I have decided to give you occasion to prove your metal. See the hill yond rV" When Ji-meljan answered In the affirmative, the landlord continued: "He pnvared then, to build on its summit a church for my personal use. Comxncnoe to-morrow at sunrise and at sundown the.: chapel must bo ready for consecration. K iny command is executed satisfactorily.! will award you. if not. your head shivi forfeited." When .emljan came home, he threw h!mlf oh his face and cried that he was done"for.sbut after a whi'.e he arose and

eaid: "Woman.

IJ?t. woman, the Landlord has ordered xae to build a church for him tomorrow, between sunrise and sundown If I fail. I must die. Hence my determinati"KiiqhtVwould be foolish." cried the peasant's wife, "for the Indlord'H retainer wouh! find thee wherever thou would, t hide thyself. Thou must stay and wo k. One has to obey as long as strength pcrrnObe-?? -hputed Jemeljan: -I can't do the lmporsible." -Thou wilt not be asked to milk the ram or sow t ie sand.". said the good wife decidedly. -Now eat supper and go to bed And. mind. rie early and go to work with a joyous mind; then all difficulties will be overcome and thou wilt earn the rewaru the Landlord promised thee." Nxt morning the good wife called the muiik while it was still dark. "Take tni

gald.

"thou wilt be through with work before night, I am sure." When Jemeljan came to the hill opposite the Landlord's palace, he was astonished to find It crowned by a brand new chapel of the most approved style. The building was finished throughout, save for a number of nails that had to bo driven in to fasten the doors and wainscoting. The mujik went to work at once to attend to these details. When the Landlord (who never rose before noon) saw the church finished, a feeling of disappointment and hatred crept into hU soul. He was mad with himself for giving Jemeljan a chance to work out his salvation. As to the mujik's wife, ha was no nearer to her than at their first meeting. "Marshall," he said to his chief officer, "thl3 confounded peasant has fooled us again. You must think of another, harder task. And take care to hit upon something really difficult if you want to remain in my service." The Marshall, frightened by the prospect of losing his iob. called together all the other officials and took counsel with them a3 to the best plan to pursue. And it was decided to order Jemeljan to dig a river, construct a harbor and ships-all within twelve hours. The mujik was almost crying when he came home. "So they have again conspired to destroy thee," said his good wife, '"thy looks say so. Tell me what new deviltries they are up to." Jemeljan gave an account of what had happened, concluding with the usual: "Thou must see, woman, that our only safety is in flight." I3ut tho wife wouldn't hear of running away. "Go and rest," sho said, "God helpeth him who helpeth himself." And at the dawn of the morrow she called her husband. "Quick to the palace," she said, "but for moving a few hundred yards of soil, the work is already done. Take thy spado and finish the job." The good wife had spoken the truth. Jemeljan saw a splendid sheet of water encircling the landlord's castle, and on it ships and boats of large and small dimensions, likewise a fine harbor, large enough for hundreds of vessels to take a refuge In. Near the entrance of the fort was the heap of earth that had to be carted away before the work could be considered finished. While the mujik was busy with his shov

el and wheelbarrow, the Landlord, observed

that his evil Intentions had again mlscar ried. The Marshal was called. .

Ivan, cried the Lord, as soon as he caught sight of him, "for the last time I advise you to think up ways and means for

ridding me of this obnoxious tenant. Un

derstand, his wife must be mine, and if you

cannot conceive of some task for Jemeljan that is impossible of performance you had

better resign at once. I am determined that

the mujik shall die I can no longer coun

tenanco his silent opposition to my supreme

will."

The Marshal asked an hour's time to

think over the problem; when he came

back he said: "Here is a snare which Jem

eljan cannot possibly escape. May it please

your Lordship to send for the rascal and

command him to do as follows:

" 'Jemeljan, go at once to I-don't-know

and fetch me I-don't-know-what. After ac

cepting this order, ho may go wherever he

will and may fetch whatever he will your

Lordship can always say that he failed to bring the right thing or that he traveled to

the wrong place, laying himself open to tho charge of disobedience. And his guilt once established, you may have him executed

and take his wife." The plan entirely Fuited the Landlord

"At last," he said, "you have hit upon

something that promises success. Jemeljan

shall come to the palace at once." When tho trembling mujik stood before him, the Landlord assumed his haughtiest mien and

said:

"Jemeljan, to-morrow morning thou wilt

go to I-don't-know and fetch me I-don't

know-what. And lest thou bring the right

thing from tho right place thy life shall bo

forfeited." CHAPTER III. Mother of the People.

When Jemeljan had told the story of his

new troubles, his good wife grew thought ful. At last, sho said: "This time the Land lord seems to have sealed his own death warrant, if only we keep our heads. How

ever, the thing passes our understanding;

we must lay the case before the Mother of

the People. Go to her without delay, and

ask her counsel. She will give thee a ccr

tain article to tako to the Landlord. Don't worry if thou can't find mo here upon thy return. The master will probably carry me off the moment thou art gone, but ho won't keep me long. For thou shall be the means

of my delivery."

Once upon a time the Mother of the Peo

ple was the representative of law and order In all the Russia. Historians call her

"Werche," which Is the equivalent of the

American "Congress," the French "Cham bers" and the English "Parliament."

Yes, we used to have a parliament In

Russia that decided all Important social

and political questions; at that time the

people were supremo and more powerful

than the Czar and his government are now-

Put Ivan the Terrible abolished the Rus

sian "Wersche" with fire and sword, and since then the Mother of tho People is

hardly more than a thought, a flickering

hope. Still she lives, and Jemeljan found

her in the depth of the forest, after many days of wanderings. "Maria rozadnlza" he called her the name that stands for cv-

ervthlng heroic and good in Russian worn

anhood, for Maria Pozadniza was first to nfiiri tho banner of revolt when Ivan

dared lay sacrilegious hands on the throat

of Russian liberties.

Maria heard what he had to say and a smile of satisfaction spread over her Tini-i fiee. At last she said: "Believe

me thy grievance will right itself, son.

Meanwhile, partake of food and drink and lie down to sleep. I will tell thee mora on

the morrow."

v.-,-- m.im'n? she srave him a ball of

twine. "As thou leaveth here, roll this be

-. i-.a oh Knt. "and follow in its

path until yoi cometh to the shores of a creat lake, the ocean. There take the first

ship sailing for America. It will carry thee

to a great and wonderful city, a town mat

knows neither King nor nobility, and ad

ministers its own affairs. Take lodging i:i one of the houses fronting on the square called after the principal building in this

metropolis, (he City Hall. It won't be long

till thou wilt find what thou needetn. "But how shall I recognize the mysteri ous article I am told to fetch?"

"By its voice," said the successor of Ti r'a. Pozardnlza. "If thou wilt encounter

a something which men and women prize

nicher than father or mother, church an

state, take it and resent thyself with it

before the Landlord. Then demand Justice

demand thy wife, demand freedom from servitude And if ho refuses take two sticks and pound on the instrument from the

Land of Liberty.' Jemeljan followed Maria's Instructions

and three weeks later, arrived in the great American town and took lodgings on the square made b'.autlful by the people'? own

ten-Hple. the City Hall, where, in the early

morning, he was awakened by the sound of a drum. The mujik had never heard or een an instrument of that kind and the music electrified him. Jumping into his clothes he

followed the racket and soon caught up with a strangely-dressed man beating cn a round thing, apparently a skin stretched

over the top of a caldron-shaped vessef of

brass. He beat It with two sticks and hundreds of young and old men followed him and obeyed his commands.

"What is this?" asked Jemeljan. "A drum." Then the mujik knew that be had found

the thing Maria asked him to procure. He

begged the stranger to give It to him, but was refused, ar.d Jemeljan waited until the drummer fell down exhausted. Then he took the drum and made off. with it.

chap ri: it iv. The Spirit of Liberty. When Jemeljan arrived at hi3 house he

found the wife of. his bosom gone. The Landlord had taken her tho moment he turned his back. "To the palace," cried the peasant. "I won't leave her another moment in the murderer's keeping." But the

Marshal defended the entrance. "His Lord-

Ship has no time for such as thee," he said;

come back in a few days or a few years.

We are ndt in a hurry now."

"I thall see the Master whether I am

wanted or not," cried Jemeljan so loud that the Landlord recognized hU voico and, to make an end of it ail, stepped out upon

the balcony.

"Where dost come from?" he asked

sternly.

"From God's own country, the land of

the free."

"Thou hast disobeyed mo; America Is the

last place in the world I wanted thee to

visit. And what did'st fetch from there, slave?"

"This," replied Jemeljan, exhibiting the

drum.

"Pshaw! I never expected thee to bring a

thing like that! Hence, thou hast disobeyed

mo twice, while once would be enough to condemn thee. Marshal, oft with this rascal's head." As the Master pronounced these words, Jemeljan stepped Into the center of the square and sounded the alarm, sounded It right well by working the sticks with all the forco at his command. And the Landlord's retainers flocked to him from wrardroom and drillground, from post and road, lowering their colors and asking Ids orders. And all the people followed. During the first hour he marshaled ten thousand, at the close of tho second fifty thousand backed him up him and his wife, for the Landlord had sent her back ere he had sounded the drum five minutes. When finally tho people forced an entrance into the stronghold they found it empty. The tyrant had fled. LEO TOLSTOI. Copyright, 1501, ty Henry W. Flscher.l
