By JOEL 0. WILLARD.
[Copyright, 1SU9, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Ivan Karlbanof was slttlDg Id his
?tudy Id Moscow wUeu bis daughter
Ekaterina entered.
"Papa," she said, "1 wish to attend
lectures at the university."
The father looked seriously at his
daughter, a pretty girl of eighteen.
Her largo brown eyes contrasted with
her very light hair, her willowy femi
nlne figure with a certain determina
tion of expression.
"My child, don't you know that It
Is not considered proper for uutnar
rled women to become students'/"
"1 do, and I also kuow tluit many
maidens marry for the purpose. I can
do that. I need never even see my
husband. After I have finished the
course the marriage can be annulled."
The father objected to the plan, a
common one in Kussla, but, tludiug his
daughter obdurate, at last reluctantly
consented. Steps were taken to tind
the girl a husband, and a student of
the name of Stepan Aleksandrovua
was fouud to supply the place. So op
posed was the father to his daughter
having auythlng to do with the young
man that he stipulated that they
should bo married by proxy and not
meet during their student lives.
Elcateriua pursued her studies with
out even hearing of Aleksandrovna.
He was the sou of a nobleman who
had entered the university In order to
enjoy uulversity life and did not put
In an appearance at lectures oftener
thau was absolutely necessary to main
tain bis connection with the institu
tion. Ills father died while he was a
student, and this took him away for
a long while. Months passed before
Ekaterina happened to hear his name
mentioned. Then it was in connection
with a duel be bad fought with ouc of
his fellow students, named Paul Poll
zoff.
4>UW, It IJUl'^fUL-U lUUk IUIO & VII1.VU.
lived near the Karlbanofs. He bad
made Ekaterlna's acquaintance and
on a number of occasions bad carried
ber books for ber ou ber way to lec
tures. Sbe was Interested to know tbe
cause of tbe quarrel. I'olizoff. who
had been but slightly wounded in the
affair, pinking at the same time bis
adversary, told ber that be did uot
know tbe real cause himself. lie had
accidentally spilled some Ink ou a book
Aleksandruvna bad been taking notes
of lectures upon and for this ostensi
bly had beeu challenged.
Ekaterlna soon beard ber husband's
name mentioned in connection with
another affair of arms with Drntri
Paskudln. who bad beeu somewhat at
tentive to her at n social gathering.
Paskudln was uot a student, and he
and Ekaterlna bad long beeu frieuds.
Ekaterlna endeavored to tind out the
cause of this quarrel, bur, as lu tbe
othei case, failed. In both cases she
noticed that sbe afterward received no
attention from either of her husband's
opponents.
And so itbapt>ened that the moment
she received any attention from a man
she was sure to hear that be had
fought with her husband' and after
ward retired from the Held. Finally
she sent for Aleksandrovua. He drove
up to her bouse In a drosky wearing
a jaunty student suit. Jumped out,
threw the driver a coin and entered
as though he was maklug an ordinary
call. lie was a handsome fellow and
by no means displeasing in appearance
to his wife.
"I have sent for you," she said se
verely, "to learn why you persist In ?
challenging any man who shows me !
any attention, it Is becoming annoy
ing."
"I canuot allow my wire to receive
attentions from other raen. My honor
would not suffer It."
"Nonsense! Our marriage was but
to enable me to become a student."
"Students should not receive atten
tion from young men. It distracts
their minds from their studies."
"And who. pray, made you the pro
tector of my mlndV"
"The law makes me your husband.
I claim no other of my privileges ex
cept this. 1 do uot even ask this. 1
require the men to leave you to your
studies. In which you will surely dis
tinguish yourself If they let you alone."
"Thanks for your kind protection
against them, but I do not wish or
need it."
"Nor do 1 admit your right to Inter
fere lu my duels."
Thus far the dialogue had. outward
ly at least, been serious. At this turn
the girl could uot repress a faiut curve
of the lips which portended a smile.
However, she mastered herself In time
and said:
"How did you come to know that I
am the girl you married?"
"I knew It before you married me.
I met you just before you entered the
university at a garden party. I had a
dozen words with you; then we were
parted."
"Whose garden party?"
"The Princess G.'s."
Ekaterina started. She was the only
person present on that occasion not of
noble family.
"Suppose," she said more graciously,
"I ask you to engage In no more duels
on my account, will you oblige me?"
"Certainly. And suppose I ask you
to accept no more attention that may
prevent your being fancy free at the
end of your university course, will you
oblige me?"
She turned her face away for a mo
ment. then, turning It back with a
blush, replied:
"Yes."
The day she received her diploma
she married her husband by a religious
ceremony.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.
FT1HE moro wo live more brief appear

A day to childhood seems a year
And years like passing Ages.
THE gladsome current of our youth
Ero passion yet disorders
Steals lingering, like u river smooth.
Along Its grassy borders.
BUT, as the careworn cheek grows wan
And sorrow's shafts fly thicker.
Ye stars that measuro llfo to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
nrHEN Joys have lost their bloom and

And llfo itself Is vapid,
Why. as wo near tho falls of Death,
Feel wo Its tldo more rapid?
IT may bo strange, yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends havo gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
HEAVEN gives our years of falling

Indemnifying lleetness
And those of youth a seeming length.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys lu good
health since, can bo relied upon to
perform the samo work in other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Feuton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
mont for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Deans Kldnoy Pills som
years ago and 1 am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney troublo
and finally 1 became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney socrotions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from tho first and before long iny,
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
