I For Humanity's Sake, i:
tCopjrlaht. 190?.
Moses Katuoff, a Jew In Russia, la
pursuing his studies discovered things
that other men coveted. One of tbeui
wa a dye for weavers. It was a pop
alar color at once. A certain weaver
saw that there was money la It, and
because he could not buy the secret
at his own price he went to the police
and charged the Jew with talking trea
son. His evidence was unsupported,
but It was enough. At twenty-three
years of age, Just as he was about to
graduate with honors, Moses started
out oao evening to pay a visit to a
young lady. That was the last heard
of him for tlx years. Then a pardoned
convict returned from Siberia to uy
that ha had met htm there.
Six years later, after serving In the
mines ror twelve years, Moses Ka
, moff received a pardon and returned
home. A pardon for what He had
been punished again for being loyal.
The cxar had no more loyal subject lu
all the Russlas. He had not expected
or asked for a pardon. They simply
removed his chains one day and told
urn he was to return. He reached
fcome old and bent and a stranger tveu
to his mother. - He was glad, and yet
In the midst of his gladness be was
told that that was not the end. When
the Bnssian police have once arrested
man he is never forgotten. They
follow him np. He Is fair game. A
relative had died and left Moses fair
ly wealthy. He had not been home a
month when the police began to bleed
Urn. He must pay for being let alone.
Be wanted to live quietly and obey all
laws and praise the tear, but it would
and did cost him so much money per
week to pay his fines that It ruined
In two years more he became but lit
Be better than a beggar. The police
naa stripped him. Then Moses found
a situation with a chemist but held It
only a week. The man had to let blm
go or be arrested himself as a sympa
thiier with a suspect The quicksilver
mines of Siberia had made a wretched
old man of him, but he shouldered a
peddler's pack and began a tramp. In
three days he was arrested and his
goods confiscated. Two weeks later all
Who were giving him food and lodg
ings and sympathy were warned and
bad to drive him from their doors. He
was arrested as a street beggar and
kept for weeks in a eelL Whenever he
got free the police were ready with an
other complaint
(There came a winter's night when
Moses KamofT huddled In a doorway,
weak with hunger and exhaustion and
knowing that he was freezing to death.
He was glad of It After death the po
lice could not longer persecute him. In
their rage they might kick his frozen
body, but all feeling would have pass
ed rrom it In half an hour the man
would have been dead had not the door
opened and a hand drawn him Inside.
He was given food and drink and a
comfortable bed, and he awoke next
morning to find himself still alive. He
knew at sight to what class his rescuer
belonged. He was an anarchist If he
hadn't private wrongs to avenge, thes
he would 'avenge he wrongs of th
public. The man knew KamofT by sight
and had heard the story of bis wrongs.)
ana ne argued that the Jew would be
fierce for revenge. It was but natural
that he should have been. For two
days and nights the old man was fed
and made comfortable, and then the
other said to him:
"You will not betray me, for you
have suffered. I have also won your
gratitude. The police have hounded
yon to the brink of the grave. It is
time you turned and had your revenge.
It Is for me to show you bow you
can secure it and run no risk."
"I am a vl man and wish onlv to
obey the law," answered hainoff.
"Yes, you have been loyal, but the
police have punished you for It For
years I have worked on an Invention
that I might make myself feared.
hava suffered almost as much as you
nave, out it is over and done with now,
Tonight we will both begin our
venge." .. .
And with that and trembling and
laughing In' his excitement the an
archist brought out a rifle. Its power
wa coin passed ah and Its bullet ao
explosive one. Its discharge made no
sound. There was neither smell nor
smoke nor flame, One on a housetop
wits the weapon one could shoot down
a pedestrian a block away, and no liv
ing man could tell from whence the
bullet came. It could be fired from any
amnusn in uo suburbs from behind
wall or tree or bush. From window or
house roof the cxar could be picked off
as oe rode out . Officials could be shot
down one after another, and those who
uvea would carry worse than death tr
their hearts. Eamoff looked the wean-
on over ana over again. He saw that
It would do as its inventor said. It
waa a terrible weapon even in the
hands of a coward. There was death
wherever It pomted-grim. swift mvs-
tenous death. In a day he could re
venge tils years of wrongs. A smile
cam to his fact as he thought of this;
tnen it faded as he thought of hu
manity, it was giving one man the
power of lire and death over hundreds,
thousands, and that man with the
Inst to kill In his heart It was whole
sale murder. v It was inhumanity. It
was tragedy Inconceivable.
When he had looked at the tun a
long time Kamoff rose up and. nuttina
au nis strength Into the blow, bronaht
the barrel down upon a heavy wooden
cnair, and the labor of years was gone
In a moment Then he threw down the
pieces and stood, with folded arms and
bowed head, and did not even cry out
at tne stab that reached his heart ne
had died for humanity's sake. 1
