Her Brother
By ROBERT L JAYNES
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.
Wlien I was kvepln' store In Arl-
lony a youug woman come in ou the
stage one evcnln' mid put up at the
tavern. Tbe next mornlu' she come
Into my store and tole me she'd come
out from the cast to find employment.
She couldiv't stenograph or typewrite.
If she could she Beedn't have come
away from home, but she could keep
a tnsh account, sell goods mid do any
ord'nary work about the store. She
was a mighty trim little body, aud 1
tole her she'd better git married and
let the other feller do the work; but
she larfed and said It tuk two to make
a match. I tuk her In for help, think-
in' If she turned out as well as she
looked I wouldn't mlud makln' the
other one of the two.
Rut It soon auneared that she wasn't
coin' to turn out as well ns she looked.
First thing I knowed a feller came
tuto the store to see her that looked
like a road agent They seemed to be
mlehtv familiar and did a lot o" talkln'
in the back o the store while I was
engaged waltln' on a customer in the
front When the feller went out I
snld to the young woman, says I :
"Rosy" thatwas her name "If you're
cahoots with a gang o' robbers the
sooner you git out the better."
"Oh, that feller wns all right!" she
said.
"Who is her
"Why, he's my brother." 1
"Your brother!" I says, turnln' nway
from her contemptuously. "If that's ;
the kind of family y' belong to I don t
think much of yer stock."
There was nothln more said about it
at the time, but I done up a lot o'
thinkln'. Fust off I thort I'd better
cive the young woman the grand
bounce, but I didn't know whether she
was up to anything or uot, aud If she
wasn't I didn't want to lose her. She
wasn't so much use about the store I
didn't hove so very much for her to Co
but I'd got a hankerln' after her.
Well, the next thing that happened
looked kind o suspicious. 1 was lay in'
one night o a settle In the back o' the
store when I heessd somethln' rattlin'
at the front door. I Jlst reached back
under a plller, tuck my weepon and let
Artr hrnnirh the nnnpl I beored a
yell an', goln' to the door, listened.
Not hearin' anything more, I opened
tho door and by the light of n match I
struck saw drops o" blood loadln' away.
I calc'lated I'd hit some un' who was
goln' to rob the store.
JSValj this thing comin' sosoon after
the visit of T;osyvs brother, I dJiln't
know what to think about it 1 nleet
when I tole her about it she looked
kinder quar.
"Hope ha warn't yer brother," I said
to her, an' I thort she was goln to
faint Seeln' it bothered her to talk
about it I didn't say nothln' more, and
after awhile she righted, though for a
few days she didn't look very cheerful.
l!ut one dav the feller that she s:id
was her brother come lu. He looked
kind o' white In the face, lie talked
with Itosv awhile an went out.
"Reckon ver brother's breu sick, I
says, a-sympathlfin' with her.
"Yes," she says, "be has.
"What's he do for livin'?'
"He alut doln' nothln' list now. I'm
trvin' to sit a ulace for him. Trade's
mlthtr brisk lately. Don't yer think
y' ueed a shippln' clerk?"
"1 don't thluk I do."
I wondered If she thort I was soft
enough to believe the feller was her
brother and out of employment. I
reckoned he wasn't employed, except
when he vcas holdin' up a coach or
Romepin' like that. Aud 1 reckoned
she'd have to do a lot o' coaxen to git
me to take In a man to work who'd
tried to rob me and I'd winged w hen
he was startln' in to do it.
But we men are kind o' quar 's well
as the wlmmeu. Due day the feller
come Into the store iu a hurry. Rosy
was there aud turned pale. He said
somep'n to her quick, and she p'lnted
under the counter. He ducked Just In
time to dodge the sheriff, who come
nmntii' in with a weenon in one hand
and a pn'r o' bracelets iu t'other. Rosy
she stood up aglu the counter right
whore the feller wor hid.
"Enny one come In hero?" asked the
sheriff.
Now. I'm a-eoin' to explain why we
men Is quar as well as the wlmmen.
Rosy she give me jlst one look. She
nilcht ns well have sent a few ounces
o' lead tit me, so far as my doln' enny
Interference was concerned.
"Hain't seeu no one," I says, talkin"
parrot-like. Jest as Rosy wanted me to.
"Singular; I thort 1 had him cor
nered." He was out lu a jiffy, and when the
danger was past Rosy put the feller in
1 a back office I had my boots iu aud
called mo in too.
"You're a trump!" she says.
"And yer brother's the knave," I
says, replyln.
She could sca'cely keep from larfln'
at my joke. Rut she didn't. She tole
mo the feller wor reely her brother,
that he'd gone bad nud she'd come out
t3 reclaim him. She had got him to
promise to go east with her, but she
couldn't get him off onless I'd help her
instead o' giviu' 'cm nway. I tole her
I'd do nil I could on condition she'd
come back and run her part o' the
store and me, too, as she'd len a-doln'
of it. She promised, and I got 'em
nway safe.
She's back now, nimiln' both me
aud the store.
I waft rerently entertained by a gen
tleman and his wife, living in their
bnodnome connlry plne on one of the
most taunt If ill of American lakes.
whim courtship was certainly the
most straiifc'e I ever heard of. They
wore both Russians by birth and both
of the hlglu-r class. The husband told
me the story one evening while we
were smoking on Ills piazza overlook
ing the water. It was this:
I am now a man of seventy, and dur
ing tny long life there has txen a
great change In the political condition
of my native country. Were it not for
this change Instead of telling you my
experience I would be deathly afraid
of vour knowing It Indeed. I should
be living, as It were. In oblivion. 1
was one of the original nihilists. The
word Is no longer used In speaking of
Russians who oppose the government,
for there Is nothing It stamls for.
It Is the I.atin word nihil, which
means nothing, the nihilists believing
that nothing, eovernmental or social.
that exists should exist all should bo
destroyed. Today there is a process
of building up Russia, and even the
term revolutionist there is at present
confined to a few.
The belief of the circle that I tie-
longed to was. among other things,
that all property should be held In
common. I was then but twenty years
of ace and was caught by this idea.
Indeed, young as I was, 1 became a
leader among the nihilists. Hut my
principles underwent a sudden change.
A brother of my father had emigrated
to America and bad made a fortune,
ne died a bachelor when I was twenty-five
years old and left me his prop
erty, amounting to more than half a
million dollars.
This acquisition of wealth will turn
the head of any communist from his
principles. I no sooner learned that I
was heir to a fortune than I saw all
the social problems I had studied in a
different light But one object took
possession of me to conceal the news
of my fortune from my associates,
hiding myself from them that I
might enjoy It One eight I left one
of their meetings to disappear from
thpm forever. Disguised, I left at
midnight for America, and in a few
months my property was turned over
to me.
In time the cause of my absence
would be known. I should be tried
and condemned to death. I turned
over my property and the collection
of mv Income to an agent, with In
structions to send the latter to an an
other name than my own, which I as
sumed, and attempted to lose my iden
tic In traveling from place to place.
I never dared stop anywhere more
than a month at a time, and before
long I began to experience that tired
feeling which induces criminals who
know the police are hunting them to
give themselves up and suffer the pen
alty of their crimes.
Especially did I suffer from being
cut off from my own countrymen. I
dared not associate with a Russian
lest through him my identity and
whereabouts should be communicated
to those who were looking for me. For
ten years I lived a life in death. I
have often since wondered how the
c.ir. knowlne all the while that there
are many persons seeking to kill him.
can live without breaking down wun
nervous prostration.
As time passed and I still lived if I
did not feel easier I at least took fewer
precautions against being found by one
sent to kill me. In fact, I felt that 1
would rather die than suffer myself to
constantly fear death.
Oue day I was introduced to a lady
from Russia, who on learning from
something I inadvertently dropped to
reveal the laud of my nativity that 1
was a Russian took an Interest in me.
nounded as I felt sure I had been for
many years, I gave myself up to the
companionship of this woman, who
seemed to have been sent to me in my
banishment to comfort me. Indeed, 1
was fallinc into that condition we call
love when oue moonlight evening at a
house where we were entertained she
suggested that we walk In the garden.
When out of sight of the house sue
suddenly faced me, drew a dagger aud,
with the words "Forgive me," attempt
ed to plunge It into my heart. I was
too quick for her, springing backward.
Then I said to her:
"Try again. Another time I will not
oppose you. I have lived so long In
this dread that I welcome death."
I threw open my coat aud presented
kiv breast to her.
For a moment she stood Irresolute,
then handed her dagger to me.
"I cannot do it," she said. "But if 1
don't I will be killed. Do the work
yourself; it will be a mercy to me."
