HE KNEW
TOO MUCH
By F. A. MITCHEL
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Is that a White cloud far up against
the blue sky? If uo. wbat meuus that
dotted line? The dots—Indeed, the
whole line—moves. It 1« ascending.
No, it la not a cloud; it la the sum­
mit o f a mountain. Those dots are
climbers tied together by a rope. They
seem near the top, but that Is because
they are so far from me. It will be
several hours before they reach it
1 came to Chamonix to make the
ascent of Mont Blanc. But yesterday
1 was slightly Indisposed, and. if 1 re­
member correctly, those in the house
In which I am lodged sent for the doc­
tor. who came and said 1 had a fever
My window looks out on the mountain,
and I long to regain my strength that
f may fulfill the purpose of my coming.
My landlady partly opens my door
and peeps through the crack. What
means that startled expression on her
face? She withdraws hurriedly, und
I hear her calling, “ Come, quick!”
I am lying in the snow near the sum
mlt of the mountain. Beneath me is
the valley, beyond which is a succes­
sion o f mountain peaks. IIow still is
everything! From year to year, from
century to century, these mountains re­
volve with the motion of the earth, a
succession o f night and day, never in
terrupted. It is always winter up here;
ut least there is always snow
I won­
der if summer will ever come. Let the
earth once be joggled and the Inclina­
tion o f its axis changed—then it may
be torrid on these slopes and reptile
monsters take the place o f the ebfimois.
A face comes between me and the
scene spread out before me. The lat
ter is cold, the former warm; the one
merciless, the other full of sympathy
A woman's eyes are looking into mine
anxiously. —
Singular that 1 should be lying in
the cold suow with this girl looking at
me I shiver, and the anxiety on her
face deepens. She takes my hand, but
little warmth is imparted. She lays
hers on my brow, but 1 gaiii no com ­
fort.
1 am about to speak to her to ask
what this all means when she fades
away as figures disappear in moving
pictures. Then persons move about
me. each one doing something, but the
whole to me is au endless confusion.
But presently the snow under me
ceases to be cold, and now there is a
slight warmth in my back. The face
of tIfe girl again appears before me,
like an enlarged face on a screen, shut­
ting out all else. Something of its
previous anxiety Is missing. Again it
disappears, this time suddenly.
Then the sun shone down on me hot
as molten lava. I was experienced in
the heat o f the sun at great heights,
shining through a thin atmosphere, but
I had never known anything like this
It seemed as if it were burning out m>
vitals. Meanwhile the scene about me
was changing. I was cold, then hot,
but I wus not on the mpuutain. I was
nowhere. 1 simply felt the heat and
the cold and did not know which to
dread the more.
Now and again that sweet girlish
face flitted before me. Sometimes I
could see her figure fading, not near
by, but at a distance
Others came
and went, but I took no notice of them.
They were like shadows to me. But
she— she was individual and always
the same. Her hair and eyes were
brown, her face oval, her complexion
fair, with a touch of red in her cheeks.
Again I was lying in bed beside my
window. There were the mountain
and the dotted line where it was be­
fore, but now instead of moving up­
ward it was descending. 1 felt an in­
expressible relief from suffering and
realized that I had been very ill and
was in a state of convalescence
My
landlady was standing at a table pour­
ing a liquid from a vial into a glass.
She turned and, seeing me looking at
her, put down the vial and the glass
and came to me.
“ What has been the matter?” I ask­
ed her.
An expression of relief came over
her features as she told me I had beeu
very ill—indeed, was still very ill. I
must be quiet and not excite myself.
I soon fell into a slumber, all tbe
while conscious of a restfulness that
was delightful. IIow long I slept I
know not, but ns soon us I aw oke ray
landlady brought me a bowl o f broth.
1 undertook to feed myself, but was
too weak. She gave me a few spoon­
fuls o f the brolh, which was all I
cared for at the time.
As I grew better I felt a desire to
know whether the girl who had ap-
penred to me during wbat I now real­
ized was delirium wus a creature o f
fancy or flesh und blood. I described
her to my landlady, and she said: ‘ She
must be the American girl in the next
house. The tourists have nil beeu In­
terested in your ease, and this young
lady came in to see you. She lias been
o f great se n ice.”
“ Please tell her,” I replied, “ that
1 am convalescent ami ask her to come
to see me. that I tuay thank her for
her attention.”
When the girl came I recognized her
at once as the object of my dream
or whatever it was She looked at me
with a hopeful expression.
“ You have been in to see me before,”
I said. “ I am under an obligation to
you.”
“ Not at nil.” she replied. “ But 1 am
surprised that you have been conscious
o f my presence You were delirious.”
Everybody knows that tho besetting
sin among officials in Russiu is graft.
From the highest to the lowest they
e*xpect the palm to be crossed before
they will do their duty, and a favor
costs a great deal more.
There was once a general in Russia
who was intimately connected with
the imperial family. Ills name was
Alexander lUzenoff. He was a skillful
commander, and to him Russia was
indebted for its salvation in a certain
war. During this time be was much
troubled by the rascality o f officials in
the supply department. He could get
neither food nor ammunition for his
trobps because those whose duty it
wus to provide uud forward them were
waiting for those who sold to pay their
commission and those who forwarded
to receive the same pecuniary atten­
tion.
Generul Rizenoff was n very ener­
getic man, and after his victory de­
termined to bring some o f these offi­
cials to Justice. He employed secret
agents to trace the causes of the de­
lays that had inconvenienced him, but
when they made their report he found
himself estopped from pursuing the
matter further. His investigators had
traced the graft to certain grand dukes
who had beeu getting rich during the
war. uud he believed that if he brought
the matter up officially he would prob­
ably be sent to Siberia on some trump­
ed up charge.
The guilty persous knew that the
general was aware of their delinquen­
cies, but were not aware wliat he iu
tended doing with the evidence In his
possession
They would have united
in a plan to get rid o f him. but his
victories over the enemies o f Russia
had made him so popular that they did
not dare to accuse him of any crime.
Meanwhile the general was lionized,
wined and dined by the lofty and
cheered wherever he appeured In pub­
lic by the lowly. The loudest iu Ills
praise were those who had coipe near
thwarting his military successes and
were now hunting for a plan by which
they could seal his lips in case he
should think o f exposing their pecula
tious.
Tile general was a very good man
Far from enjoying being feted, he pre­
ferred his rooms in the quarters as­
signed him as a commander. He was
essentially a man’s man and had very
little to do with women.
One evening at a ball at the winter
palace one of the grand dukes told
the general there was a lady present
who desired that he should be present­
ed to her. Rizenoff demurred, but the
would be introducer, who wus an uu
cle to the czar, would not be refused,
and he was altogether too powerful to
offend. The general was led up to a
Spanish lady, who looked up at him
with u pair o f Madonna-like eyes,
which seemed to say, “ I am the slave
o f the warrior who has led his troops
to victory.” Women had made open
advances to him. 'A e y attacked him
through his vanity and through his
senses
They had all failed
There
was something inexpressibly timid in
this girl’s admiration, something that
seemed to say: “ I can never aspire to
be noticed by you. I only wish to
bask for a moment in tbe light o f your
glory.”
Rizenoff was touched by this wor
ship of a beautiful girl almost young
enough to be his daughter He return­
ed it by asking her to dance. She
looked up ut him with a frightened
glance, as much as to say: “ This houor
cannot be for such as 1. 1 should not
know how to behave in so exalted a
position as that of your partner.”
Nevertheless she danced and with
such grace that others ceased to dance
to watch her. Every movement was
perfect, yet it seemed natural, not cul­
tivated perfection
When the dance
was ended the general led his partner
to one o f the little nooks intended for
tete-a-tetes and there spent the rest oi
the evening with her.
From that time General Rizenoff
paid his court tfl this girl and to her
only.
Inez Cardeua was her name
Who she was, how she came to be in
vlted to a state ball, no one knew. She
did not claim to be noble. She was
too well bred to be o f the peasant
class. She was invited to all functions
where General Rizenoff was invited,
for his attentions to her were well
known. On such occasions where she
dunced she was the center of all eyes,
and it soon came to be noted that she
never danced with any one except
Rizenoff. Whether no one else asked
her to dance or whether she consider­
ed It such an honor to be chosen by
him that It would be a sacrilege to
dance with any one else did uot trans­
pire.
One night Rizenoff departed from
the palace o f a grand duke where n
ball was In progress iu a carriage in
company with Inez Cardeua
Shortly
afterward the carriage drove up to the
general’s quarters. When the door1
was opened IUzenoff's dead body was
there with a poniard sticking in his
heart No living person was In the
carriage.
People talked, but only under their
breath. Information was issued from
the palace that the general had come
to his death from cause or causes un
known to the government, and It was
forbidden to discuss the matter
“ She was n dancer from Madrid.”
said n man to another in speaking of
Inez Cardena.
“ And the general knew too muck.”
"You took mv hand.**
She blushed slightly. "1 supposed
you were not aware o f it.”
It marked the beginning o f a love
story, but of the story 1 shall maintain
silence
