In nearly every case where women and

A Mystery Solved
6 J5
[Original.]
Petrof Remsky, a young Russian
came to America to Join his brother
Dmitri. On reaching the little hamlet
In the far west, where he exacted to
find his brother, petrof learned that
he had disappeared under very sus
picious circumstances.
Dmitri Retusky, who had come over
some years before, had sought work
with John Mason, who kept a store.
Dmitri had found It difficult to get ou,
not kuowlng the lauguage or the cus
toms of the country, and when he ap
plied to Mason for employment was
literally starving. Mr. Mason took pity
ou him and fed and clothed him. Ma
son, seeing that he was intelligent, ad
vanced him gradually from a mere er
rand boy to clerk and at last gave htm
charge of the store during his own ab
sence, which was quite often.
The youngster, who was now about
twenty, showed Uie most intense gran
tuile for bis treatment? imleeil, be con
sidered biuiself so well off tbat be sent
bis savings to Kussia to bring his
brother over, knowing tbe dreadful
condition of tbe Russian peasant and
desiring to give Petrof the same ad
vantages as himself. I'etrof was due
to arrive in a week, when one evening
a blizzard such as Is uot unusual lu
the west came up. During the night
Mason heard footsteps lu the store be
low his rooms, but as his clerk slept
there thought nothing aliout It. In the
morning Mason went to his cash draw- '
er and found the contents? some $250
goue. The clerk was nowhere to be
found.
All that day the snow swirled, the
wind howled, while the thermometer
stood at 20 degrees below zero. It was
impossible to go lu search of tbe fugi
tive. Indeed it was not expected tbat
he could get very far away, though the
blizzard bad not reached great severity
till near mornlug, aud be might have
covered a good deal of grouud during
the night. When It cleared the snow
was still too deep to warrant a search,
and It was not for some time longer
that It completely disappeared. Then
Mason went out by different avenues
looking for his money, but found no
trace of it and gave it up for lost.
It was about this time that Petrof
appeared to learn that his brother had
repaid his benefactors by making off
with their cash. The poor boy was
crushed. He could uot believe that his
brother could be so base. The Masons
I treated him kindly and, though they
had beeu robt>ed by one brother, con
sented to put the other lu his place.
But Petrof was too much absorbed lu
what had become of Dmitri to be of
steady use. As soon as he had earned
a little money he would sally forth to
search for him, only returning when
his money was goue. Mason humored
him and permitted him to spend his
time In this way without discharging
him.
But week after week, month after
month, passed away, and there was
no news of Dmitri. Mason believed
that he had made his way to another
region, though be did uot see how he
could have done so In face of the bliz
zard, agalust which no human beiug
could have striveu long. But If be
had falleu surely bis bones must be
bleaching not far from tbe scene of his
robbery. Every foot of ground had
been searched, and no trace had been
discovered.
Petrof alone refused to believe that
his brother had taken the money.
Spring passed luto summer and sum
mer Into winter, but the young fellow's
excursions Instead of ceasing grew
longer. Instead of hunting within a
dozen miles of the village he extended
his tours over several principal routes
Into other regions, lie neither heard of
Dmitri or found his remains. The rob
bery would have been forgotten had it
not beeu kept alive by the persevering
Petrof aud his Interest lu saving his
brother's honor. As It was, the affair
became more and more a mystery. For
miles around the people were discuss
ing the possibility of Dmitri's getting
through the blizzard and If he had how
he had done It.
Then Petrof one day set off, resolv
ing to follow a course in which he
would be best shielded by an imaginary
tempest. He first circled around a
low bill; then struck out for a wood.
Emerging from this, be deliberated
how next to proceed. Finally he con
cluded to follow a creek. Reaching n
place where It appeared that the bank
had caved, he stopped aud looked
about him. Below him he noticed a
boot protruding from the soil. He
went down to it and pulled it away, ex
posing a foot. Scratching away, he
came to a leg and at last exposed a
body thinly covered by earth that. had
fallen on it. It was tbe body of
Dmitri.
As soon as Petrof had recovered
from the shock he searched the cloth
ing for the missing money. There
was only a little change In the vest
pocket.
Dmitri bad fallen on his face, had
been covered with snow, aud when It
melted a portion of the bank had fallen
and covered him. He was about to
leave the body to go back for assist
ance when he noticed about Ave yards
ahead a bit of cloth protruding as the
boot had protruded from the soil. He
went to It and little by little uncov
ered another body? that of a man. He
was lying on the ground, but had
turned, with a revolver In his hand
pointing back. In his pocket was $250.
Dmitri went back and examine^ his
brother's body. There was a bullet
hole in Hie chest.
The riddle was solved. A thief had
entered the store, taken the money and
made off, with the clerk after him.
The thief *-as identified as one who
had broken Jail the same night.
