Tjere are men who may be said to
assimilate best with the condition of
war, pestilence or famine. They cuu
never do the drudgery necessary to u
small beginning. Give one of them
the assurance that by working In u
humdrum lleld for a few years he may
secure uoi only competence, but for
tune. and he will not be able to bring
himself to suffer the restraint and eu
dure the steady labor required. But he
will thrive under adversity.
Bushuell ItugUv was oue of this
kind. He had been giveu a splendid
opi>ort unity by an uncle to work up
'from a subordinate position to succeed
his uncle, who was childless, |u the
management of the business. He
proved himself Incompetent, only dis
tinguishing himself once, when the
store caught jlre. Then his was the
ouly cool bead about the premises, and
he saved the place from destruction.
His uucle dually discharged him, and
he drifted, doing uotliiug till, w hen at
the lowest ebb. he married. He said
he thought marriage would settle him.
Perhaps a better statement of the ease
would be that the condition of a mar
ried mau with no income would create
conditions under which he could act.
At auy rate It did.
He bad a hundred dollars at the time
of his marriage, and he proceeded to
lose that at a game of faro. Then one
morning when be and his wife had
nothing in the house for breakfast ho
started out to find some means of bet
tering his condition Stroll: i along a
street aimlessly with Ills lia ids in his
pockets, he came to a stone front dwell

i Paul Oblonsky's Ruse. J

[Original.]
Paul Oblonsky, a Itiisslan comedian,
having become Interested with Ills
couutryuitn In tlie cause of political
liberty, lett the stage uud became a
writer in behalf of the czar.
While Oblonsky was publishing his
pamphlet**, ivhlch were all emluently
(satisfactory to the government, 4ie was
euguged In dlssemluutlug lltenitnre of
,m entirely dilferent klud. lie made
| jouraeys from his home to dltfereut
I points to organize, advise and eucour
| age dllTereul secret societies that rep
resented the most radical element of
the revolution. Of course the day
came when lie was reported to the po
lice as a suspect, but so wary had he
Ihvii that tlie chief would not believe
lie was a revolutionist.
One day a telegram came to the po
lice at St. Petersburg that a meeting of
revolutionists had been broken up at
.Moscow and a man resembling Patil
oblonsky luid got away. The chief
sent ut once to Oblonsky's bouse to
discover If he was at home. The uuin
who went ou the errand knew Oblon
sky by sight and as he approached the
house saw him sitting at an upper
window. He returned and reported
the fact to his superior.
Not long alter this a spy of the gov
ernment in Warsaw reported that Ob
!"iisky was one of u bund of couspira
tors, of which he (the spy was also a
member. St fll doubting the truth of
Information implicating a man who
had defended the g<arf>rninent, the
chief sent the same mevseuger he hud
used before to Oblonsky's house. On
the way the messenger met Oblonsky
in a carriage driving with his sister.
The chief was puzzled. Those who
use spies are never certalu but that
they are spies of ^he enemy. However,
he telegraphed orders that If at any
time Oblonsky was seen In Warsaw
I i lit' occurrence be hi once repwrceu. m
:i few days a telegram came auuounc
I Ins that Oblousky had been seen enter
I lug that city from the suburbs lu a
[ ,'rosky. The Informant was uot lu the
;ray of the government; therefore Ob
loiisky was uot followed. The chief
I scut oue of bis best men at ouce to
Oblousky's house, directing him to
make sure whether or no Obionsky
was tliere. lie was to go in ami speak
with him. Obionsky had lieen si-en en
tering Warsaw an hour before the re
i eipt of 11m* telegram. He surely would
I not have hail time to ? return before
| the official <vuld get to his house. As
the messenger approached he looked
? up at the window where Oblousky was
accustomed to read or write, but he
was uot there. Entering the house,
he fouuil Oblousky's old mother.
"I have called," he suld, "to get n
copy of your son's lust political pam
phlet for the chief of police. It Is re
ported that there are lu It some fea
lures objectionable to the government."
"Indeed." said the old lady, "I will
call my sou, who will hand you one
himself." Thereupon she went up
stairs, and who should come down but
Oblousky himself, with tlie pamphlet
lu his hand. The official wished him
good day. took the pamphlet and re
turned to the chief. Immediately an
order was sent to Warsaw to seud the
person who had seeu Oblousky euter
lug the city to St. Fetersburg. A man
arrived the next day who declared that
he knew Obionsky well, aud he had
certainly seen hlui as he had reported.
The chief sent for Obionsky osteuslbb
to discuss the objectionable passage lu
ills pamphlet, but really to subject hlui
to the view of the Informer from Mo*
cow. The Informer at ouce declared
that Obionsky was the man he had
seeu lu the ilrosky entering Warsaw.
The chief was now satisfied that
there had been n mistake. He gave or
tiers for the secret police to watch
those who had rei>orted against Ob
loi.sky. thinking tliat-they might be
revolutionists endeavoring to get rid
of a friend of the government.
Oue morning an official occupying a
high position in the government was
found murdered lu his office. Among
those reported to have left the office
K'.n.rtly before the finding of the body
was oblousky. For the first time the
chief began to believe that Obionsky
w; s a revolutionist, aud If so he must
be <>?e of the most adroit as well as
mo't dangerous of the lot. The chief
did not order Oblonsky's arrest, but
M'rrotmded his house with spies. They
rept rted that every morning aud atter
| noon Oblousky sat at his window writ
ing. But when they reported that with
the most careful watchiug they could
I uot detect the slightest movement the
I "chief sent an official to arrest him.
i The official found the suspected
| mau's mother aud sister, who declared
that Obionsky was lu his room writing
.;a important article In defense of the
government aud hnd given orders that
he was uot to be Interrupted. The offi
cial brushed past, them and went up
stairs to the room. There sat Obionsky.
but not a whit startled at the Interrup
tion, for he did uot even look up. He
was a dummy, the exact Image of Ob
lonsky. Obionsky had left St. I'etyrs
bu.'g the morning of the assassination
tnd was now being smuggled across
the frontier.
The moment the official saw the duni
my he remembered having seeu Ob
lousky on the mluilc stage in a play
wherein It was necessary to make him
appear there while absent changing
his costume. For this purpose a lay
figure had been constructed so nearly
like the actor that the closest scrutiny
from the audieuce could not detect the
fraud. The figure had represented the
revolutionist at his window except on
the occasion of his having been seen
driving both In St. Fetersburg and
Warsaw. His sister had taken It to
Warsaw for the purpose of misleading
the police.
