Safo Arkadyerna, a little Russian poasant girl, heard sleigh bells uuJ went to the door. A sledge dro e up. nu.l a young man alighted and, followed b, his valot, hurried Into the bouse. The driver remained with the horses. "Is there any one lieie who know-' the road to V.?" he asked. "There Is no one hero at all except my father and myself. My father Is 111 In bed. 1 know tho road to V." "I must get there in time to cntch tho St. Petersburg express which passes at 10:15. It is now 8. The dlstanco Is" "Eighteen vcrsts." "No more than that? Good. There Is plenty of time." "But, excellency, there are many hills and tho snow Is deep and In plute drifted. You -w 111 require nil the time you have, nnd more." The young man's countenance fell "My horses are tired out," ho said "and my sledge Is heavy, yet 1 niusi cntch tho train." "We have a fresh horse and n light sledge with seats for but two people Let your driver and your servant re main here. I tI11 drive you to V." "You little angel! You little beauty' Take mo to V. In time for tho train and I will love you forever." Die Impulsively threw' his nrnn around Safo and kissed her. It Is astonishing how speedily a very young country girl and this one was but seventeen who has never seen a fine gentleman when she first meet' one can fall In love with him. For that one moment, for the first time In her life, Safo was In heaven. The travelers' sledge was drhen Into tho barn, the lighter sledge got out and Safo Arkadyovna nnd Alexis Alex nndrovltch entered. She holding tho reins, tho robes were adjusted, and they drove away. "Why do you so wish to catch the train?" asked Safo. "It Is a matter of life and death." "Your life or death?" asked the girl, with a gasp. "No; that of n man on tho trajn." Safo listened Intently for more. Had this toi do with revolutionary work? She -was an enthusiastic revolutionist. Was she. driving this man to tho train to enable him to prevent tho nccoui pllshmcnt of a revolutionary purpose? The tillls lny within the first ten or n dozen vcrsts of the distance to bo trav eled. When Alexis becume Impatient at their slow pi ogress Safo told him that for tho last six or eight vcrsts the road lay over level ground. When they bad passed the hills they had but hall an hour to go the remainder of the dis tance. But tho road was co ered w 1th loose snow, and the horse vas not as fresh as at staitlug. To their right they could see to a cousideiable dis tance, and two or thteo ersts away was a sledge, the di Ivor of which wab whipping his horse unmercifully, going In the same direction ps themselves. "There they are now!" "Who?" asked Safo. "Tho murderers! Get up! Give hlni tho whip!" "Not until you tell mo what this means," she said firmly. , Alexis turned and looked at her, as tonished. After a few moments of study ho said: "Tho minister of tho interior is on tho train I wish to catch. At an Inn whero I stayed last night I overheard a conversation that told me a revolu tionist would beard tho train at V., leavo his compartment while the train Is In motion, walk along tho foot board to the carriage occupied by the minister, shoot him through tho win dow and Jump from the train." Ho watched eagerly, the girl's faco as bo spoke. She made no comment for u time, though she showed traces of an Inward struggle, a struggle between love and duty. She know of the suffer ings of her people under autocratic rule, jot her heart had sprung to this young man as a moth will dash against tho glass Inclosing an electric light. She 'could tako him to tho station in time to save the minister's life or could delay blm. "Well?" he ventured presently. The girl mado no reply. They were going at a good pace, and Alexis, know ing that she was deliberating, pre ferred to give her a fow moments in which to decide. If her decision was against him he would tako tho reins himself. But ho did not know tho way, and this might wreck his purpose. Sud denly she threw the reins to him. Seizing them in one band, he laid on tho whip with the other. The girl sat muto by his side. Entering o wood, they camo to a fork in the rood. "Which?" asked Alexis. Safo remained silent. Seeing that she would not choose for him and realizing the Impossibility of forcing her to do so. he chose the left hand road. It led him two versts out of his way. When he emerged from tho wood he could again see a long dls tanco. There was the train approach ing the station. There was the sledge containing the assassins within a few hundred yards of their goal. Alexis drove on to the station, reach ing it some ten minutes after the train had passed. Ho sent his Information by telegraph to the next stopping place, but the train did not stop for more than half an hour, and by that time It was too late. The minister had boon assassinated. . Alexis Alexandrovltch told ,no one cow he had boeh delayed! by the little peasant girl, who proferred hor duty to her newborn lovo. The incident made her a revolutionary worker, and she Is cow in Siberia. t CHARLOTTE BOND HILL BAY TIMES. MARSHFIF.LD, iMn"jt.'w.n NOTICE TO BIDDERS.
