THE DAILY COOS
Eefbueen Duty
... And Lo-Ve.
Original.)
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
