The Sii-Pointed Star

{OOfmS tTKD FROM SIXTH PAGE with sad forebodings to what It aid all portend. Then, feeling it vain 'to wait longer, I took my sad way homewards—to my lonely hearth—no longer /daring to hide from myself my suspiolon of Dalton's conduct, and my serious aneasiness as to my darling's safety. A fortnight passed I scaroely know how— |when one morning I received a second etter from Sasie here It is:-— •"My darling Sis,—What you will think of me, I dare not even imagine to myself, bat it Is not my fault, indeed'—

I never tboogbt it was. 'To think of yoa taking all that trouble about your naughty little Susie 1 I do not deserve it. 8is, dear, I never got your letter until an boar ago, and when I had read it, I tore round to the hotel you mentioned, In the vain hope of still finding you there, only to learn that you bad left more than a fortnight before. 'I mast tell yoa tbat a day or two

Iter I last wrote to you—and during tbat day or two bow I did long for an answer to my letter, oonveyingyour forgiveness!—we went away into the oountry "on business," and Edmond requested me not to write to anyone while we were there, as it was most important tbat his whereabouts should remain an* known. As you already know, my darling husband's wishes are law io me, although I must say I should like to know what this weighty and secret business 1s! I hope it is not wrong and unwife like to confess so much as that to you, Altbea? Edmond Is so good to me, 1 would not hurt bis feelings for worlds. I trust tbe time will soon come when I shall see yoa I want to pat my arms roand your dear neck, and give yoa a good bug. ISdmond says he is quite longing toeee this paragon of a sister of mine!" 'Oh, I nearly forgot—I made suoh a fanny little discovery the other day. Edmondfcad palled ap bis shirt sleeve, and I oaruscht sight of tbe most curious mark ycru ever saw, on his arm. It is like a star with six points, quite red,end •regularty branded into tbe flesh. Edmond laughed when I noticed it, and said it wastbe result of a boyish freak. He was fn one of his teasing moods,and I couVd^get no more oat of bhn than tbat —but how it must have hurt to have sueha place burnt Into his poor arm!' "Now comes the last letter of all," said

Mise Stanhope, "and to me, even when I received it, it was tbetaostdisquietlng of any, filling me with I know not what sinister forebodings as to tbe nature of Edixiond Dalton's secret tmd mysterious affairs, which tbe sequel has "but too well justified."

It was the moat curious sensation, this being brought face to face, as It were, with a vision of the night I cannot exactly de iscrlbe it.

A TYPICAL WESTERN GIRL.

Bzplolta or the Lowly MIm StuunUwB of Davenport In the Adirondack*, With tho close of the hunting season

in the Ad irondneka the hundreds of enthusiastic followers at the chase are returning to their homes.

Nine out of ten persons who ever think of this noble sport at all are inclined to look upon it as being the exclusive monopoly of the sterner sex. This was to a great extent true in years gone by, bat is such no longer. Indeed a very large proportion of the admirers of Diana in our great state park—the Adirondack*—are women, and the reo-

MISS FBAKCK8 MAT STAUNTON.

drdfl go to show that the dainty and delicate hand tbat poured tea at the pink reception or was gem laden at the swell germ an can pull a trigger at the right time and bring down an antlered monarch of the woods after the fashion of "any old guide." Not only this, but some of the best shots and most interesting hunting affairs of the season are chargeable to women.

Attired in her suit of corduroy, usually of a grayish or slatish hue, with jacket, shirt waist and short skirt, she goes forth to win laurels with her rifle. She wears heavy tan shoes that lace high and stiff leather leggings that buckle frtim the ankle to the knee. Around her waist is a cartridge belt, and a hunting knife fits snngly into its scabbard at her sid& The knife is usually for ornament only, although at times it may come in very handy to cut away twigs in tight places or peel fine chips for tbe evening fire.

Some of the female followers of the chase are the Misses Jackson of New York, Miss Grace White of Philadelphia, Miss McAllister of Washington, Miss Julia Belo of Oalveston and Miss Franoes May Staunton of Davenport

Miss Staunton is a typical western girl, independent, bright, aotive and of charming face and figure. She has lovely brown eyes that speak no fear, and with tthem she has gazed upon a bear at micbajght. Not only that, but she killed bruin, who stood open mouthed and fierce :30 feet away. The incident oocurred on Long Pond, where a party of young people was imoamp. Miss-Staun-ton was awakened by the growls of a bear, and hastily -donning her dressing gown she seized a irifle and went out. Brain, black and ugly, was facing the tent only a rod axkLa half away, when plucky Miss Staunton emptied the contents of her rifle into his head and breast. The bear made several attempts to reach the yomtg woman, but died within ten feet of her. Miss Staunton, though an excellent shot, has anot had the success in deer hunting sbe otherwise'might have bud, and this because of her great love atf song. Possessed cf a voice of wonderful sweetness and purity, «he has a passionate fondness for singing while in the woods, and the deer, mot especially'fond of a human voice, rhowevor beautiful, do not genei ally intrude upon her presence. Still, sho has killed at least as many as the law allows this year.—New York:Times.

The ArxSJent Idea,

It was on Sept "54, 1761, that tbe Worcester Jonrnal (England) published a thoughtful articleentitled "Qualifications of a Wife." "In spelling a little becoming deficiency, and in the punotuation (or what is generally called stopping) by.no means conversant In conversation,a little of the lisp, but not of tho stammer. A decent share of common sen.se, just seasoned with a little repartee—a small modicum of wit, but no learning mo learning, 1 say again and again (either ancient or modern) upon any consideration whatever^ A good person, but not perfectly beautiful—a moderate height—a complexion -not quite fair, but a little brown. Great good nature. And a prudent generosity." And so on, and so on.

Deettn*d Renomlaatlon.

Mrs. Mary J. R. N. Strang, who for the past 16 years has served as school trustee in Long Island City, N. Y, declined a renomination. The New York Herald says: "Sheis an excellent school official, and her retirement from public life is a source of much regret. She took much interest in school matters and during her long official life has always been the active secretary of the board at trustees.''

A New dotrtbern Poet.

The roll of southern poets has? been increased by Miss Mary Louise Huntley of Atlanta. She Is a tall, slender, dark girl, reserved, dignified and studious. Ber last poem, "The Sobbing Bain," is an exquisite idyl and was quoted and requoted by the press of the country. She is the third talented singer in her eity, the other two being Lollie Belle Wylie and Arelia Bell Key.

And to crown all, wo had just hoard or his impending marriage. "A nice time to be thinking of marrying and feathering his nest,"'we remarked to each other, "just when the pillars of the social edifice axe giving way and we are doing our best to pull them down, in order to build up something better!"

When the name of the future bride was mentioned, those among us who knew her were staggered a bit. Anna Pavlona Smirnova was not a Yenxis. But if she had much lees beauty than her photograph —which is a common failing of womenshe bad a good deal more wit, which is not by any means so common.

Although apparently young enough to be his daughter, Anna Pavlona was Kaffsky's senior by five or six years, and to make matters still more mixed she was a red radical at heart.

Formerly her democratic views had got ber into thot water with the authorities, and it was not without considerable difficulty that she had Obtained her present position as teacher tin a girls' gymnasy whloh enabled her to live in modest competency with her widowed mother.

The police, we knew, had twioeor thrioe made elaborate inquiries about Kaffsky, had noted his comings in and goings 'Out and bad set a -watch upon his actions. Platoff, when arrested a week ago, chanoed to have Kaffsky'scard in his pocket and was subjected to a long secret cross examination about ibis dealings with him.

well«uspeot the stone sphinxes at the Nikolai 'bridge: as that pieoe of stuok up selfishness called Kaffsky, exclaimed Lavroff. "Thereanustb for the^suspioion," cried Brodsky. "There's always fire where thore'-s smoke, and as we know there's no/fire here then there cannot possibly be any real -smoke. It's a matter of smoked glass spectacles."

This remark struck us all ifche.acme of cleverness. It was warmly npplaiuiod. "Well, but Who can have smoked tho i:ov-ernmenf-s speotacles?" somebody .asked. "Boocman! Doorman! He alone has a grudge .against Kaffsky," cried half a dozen voices.

Now, uono'of us had a doubt ^hat he was the Jtudas'Iscarlot. His hangdog expression, his:slouching gait, his furtive glance and stammering deviltry proclaimed the nature of the spiric that lived and worked within him.

The present case strengthened our suspicion, for Boorman and Kaffsky had quarreled-years before.

Summer vacations were at hand. The last of t&e examinations would take placc in ten days,'and then we should disperse over the length and breadth of the empire, many of us novor to return again.

Suddenly wo were stunned and stupefied by a bolt from the blue in the shape of a rumor that Kaffsky bad boen arrested.

He and Alexeieff had gone to tbe theater he night before. They had walked home together and made an appointment for the morrow at the university, but at about a. m. Kaffafcy had been spirited away and was now in the secret wing of the Lithuanian fortroos.

A written request was presented by some of the profeeeors, who were beside themselves with indignation, that Kaffsky should be released on bail, just to finish his examinations and take his degree, for they knew very well 4t was all a misunderstanding.

But to our utmost astonishment their re quest was refused, and Kaffsky was removed from the Lithuanian fortress only to be immured in tbe more terrible fortress of Peter and Paul.

The excitement caused by the arrest was assuming dangerous proportions. Nobody had cared a rap for Kaffsky a week before, and he was already a most popular hero now.

Perhaps It was hatred for tho heartless informer—who had also boen arrested no doubt to save him from being lynched— and jgrtttpathy for Anna Pavlona, whose womanly feelings had got tbe better of her phllo?6phy. She IVKd completely broken down.

She had been token to her bed, had refused all food, bad forwarded petition after petition to the minister of tbe Ulterior, and when It became clear that she might just as well be sowing salt on the seashore her mind gave tray. The doctors sent her mother and herself in post haste to the Crimea.

In October a few of us met in St. Petersburg once more, but only a few. Tbe police had made a tremendous haul among the students the day the university closed session, and many were now in their distant native villages, expelled from tbe university, others in prison, others again on the road to Siberia.

Kaffsky, we learned, was among the 1b tear, condemned to the mines as a augerous conspirator, in spite of the interoessinu at professor*. Anna Pavlona was dead, locording to others, but it came to pretty much the same thing in the end. had heard of many evil things done by tlabollcel infornten^bttt this was the sun*

TBRRE TTAUTB SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, DECEMBER 7,1895.

—New Budget.

BETRAYED BY LOVE.

Kaffsky was a born genius, destined In time to soar to the dtaxy heights of a professional chnlr. So at least said his professors at tho University of St. Petersburg. We students likewise held him in awe and hedged him around with reverential ostracism.

That same Kaffsky used to squander his days and nights over mathematios and ohemistry and half a doson kindred sol' enoea, as if life were to last for eternity. We*dld not believo in a man having so many irons in the fire, and we limited our own efforts to tho accomplishment of one single task—tho regeneration of mankind as a preliminary step to the remodoling of Russian sooloty.

We had wolghed Kaffsky in the political balance—tho only one in vogue at Russian universities ten years ago—and had founfl him sadly wanting.

He was a member of none of the three churches, outside cf whloh thoro 1b no salvation—that of the sworn conspirators, who edited a forbidden political journal, Land and Liborty, hatchod plots against the state and sometimes helped to carry them out that of unsworn oonsplrators, from whom tho former were usually reorultod, and the bulk of students who sympathized with everything ond everybody who embarrassed the government.

orylng Injustice I hud over actually witnessed, and when talking with a friend who was a relative of one of the ministers I told htm so,

Ho was ivstoundod at what I told him and asked me to draw up an account of KafTsky'8 ease in writing. Ho would see, he mid, that ju»fcloo should be done, 1 hatl no difiioulty in obtaining precise particulars, I discovered even the name of tho forwarding prison, over 1,000 miles away, in whloh Kaffsky was then Interred, and having made out a very strong ease I gave my friend the paper, and ho presented III to his relative, tho minister,

A week passed, then a fortnight, and «tlU there was no answer. One day my philanthropic friend shook his /tead, said my data were all wrong, sal^fthat Kaffsky was the most dangerous conTWrator chat had ever been tripped up in (no very nlok of tlmo, and that he woiild advise me to keep aloof from political reformers In future, as it was evident they oould make black appear white without an effort.

Six years later I heard that Kaffsky was no more. He died of disuase or was shot in a tumult or disposed of in some suoh way. The particulars were hot very precise, but ho was really dead that was oertain. "Nothing else but death is oertain in Russia," 1 remarked to an ex-minister to Whom I had been telling the whole story nftor dinner. "So you aro going to write about It, you say," ho baked me, "toease your feelings?" "I am," I replied. "Very well, thon, It you will oome here in two or three days I will supply you with a most interesting postscript."

And ho did. His statement was based on offioial documents, and this 1b the gist of it: "When tho terrorist movement"was at its height, the leaders wore invisible and ubiquitous. We suspected that they were In the university, but that Was only a guess. Once or twioe Kaffsky appeared to be in the movement, but we had no proof and oould get none. It then occurred to General O. of the secret department to employ a spy who had never played the part of a detective before." "I know. You mean the sooundrelly Informer, Boorman," 1 broke in. "Boorman? Boorman? Was hef Oh, of course ho was. Yes. No Boorman was not tho detective. Bocrman, I see, was nearly as dangerous as Kaffsky. He was Kaffsky's right hand man, and he got the same punishment."

This announcement took nay breath away, but it only deepened the mystery. "Two thousand three hundred rubles was what it all cost, and dirt oheap, too," he went on. "You mean the deteotive's reward?" I asked. "Yes that, of oourse, was over and above her regular salary, which was 60 rubles a month. It was the only clever stroke of business she ever did." "She?" I repeated. "Was it a woman, then?" "Oh, yes. Didn't I tell you? And a woman with the making of a saint in her too. Ha! ha I ha I She is now a God fearing seotarian—a pietist of some kind." "Well," I remarked, "she would need a good long course of penance, were it only to atone for the fate of poor Anna Pavlona, whose life she snuffod out." "Ha! ha! ha!" he laughed till the big tears rolled down his furrowed oheeks. "Why, bang it, man, Anna Pavlona was herself the detective. But -that was the only olever thing she ever did. She soon after left the service, found salvation, as they term it, in some obscure sect and is a pious bigot now."—London Telegraph.

A Profane Point.

There is a point on the Piscataqua river, which soparutes Maine from New Hampshire, about a mile from Kittery and the navy yard and about two miles from where the broad harbor opens wide to the ocean at which the stream suddenly narrows.

A rocky point juts out into the swift waters and makes a powerful current, and lumber laden sloops and barges and schooners take no ohanoes in being towod up and down past this dangerous point, bristling with rocks.

But smart yachts and men-of-war take their ohances of getting up alone. In the days of sailing frigates and ships of tho line it was a ticklish business to take a great ship, drawing

or 28 or 84 feet of

water, past this treacherous spot. If the yards did not fly around at exactly the right moment, the ship would take the ground or the rocks, whichever was the nearest danger.—Lowiston Journal.

A Buy Doctor.

Dr. Llddeir« morning levees were crowded beyond description. It was his pride and boost that ho oould feel his patient's pulse, look at his tongue, sound him with a stethoscope, write his prescription and pooket his fee in a space of time varying from two to five minutes.

One day an army man was shown into the consulting room and underwent what might be termed the instantaneous process. When It was oompleted, the patient shook hands with the dot -ir and aaid: "I am especially glad to meet you, as I have often heard my fatbor, Colonel Forester, speak of his (rid friend Dr. Liddell." "What! "exclaimed the doctor. "Areyou Dick Forester's son?' "I am, sir." ... "My dear fellow," exclaimed the doctor, "fling that prescription into tbe fire, will you, please, and sit down and tell me what is file matter with you?"—London Tit Bits.

A Dajr Wlth the~6lrl*.

Talk about a fiight with/the boys I It isn't in it with a day with the girlsP' exclaimed a fair maid the other day. •_ "Look at me," she oontinued, "I'm a perfect wreck. I've been dragged all over town to every bargain counter in New York by those cousinsjfrofti the oountry. They are absolutely indefatigable, and so they've pulled and yanked me in and out everywhere until I'm ready to drop. They got lots of lovely bargains, though— scarfs, head rests, photograph frames and every blessed thing they didn't need—and now they haven't got a cent left for the very frock they came to buy. All I've got to show for it is my silk petticoat torn out of tbe gathers, a splitting headache, a lame back and a pair of 49, cent gloves that are not mates!"—New York Mercury.
