Puring (ho flrai half of the nineteenth I
century a Russian gentleman, Count
Koronlrf. living tu Finland. owned a
beautiful serf girl named Smila. Ad
Joining the Kornuief estate lived a
? small farmer named Orloff. OrlofTs
?on Peter ami Soul* were wool to play
, together as children and when they
grow to manhood and womanhood l?e
' came lover*. I'nfortunntely for litem
while Peter wa* a free mail Ron la was
a aorf
! Now, the c?nnt w;<* n Arm supporter
i of the government. whil-> even nt that
early dale there werr evidence* of dls
J rortont am<Mic the The mar
: muring* were lieanl Btoatty mining the
higher clam, f<>r the serf* were t?v>
ignorant, too degrndid. too n?ed to con
aider their master, the <iuir. a divine
being, to protect against anything that
emanated from him. Young Orloff was
I far in advance <?f the small farmer ,
; la as, to whl h he l>elouged. supporting '
the few nobles and many Intellectual
jommoner* who desired to ?ee the nu
tocraey of tiie government curbed and
;l?e lower ela-^es elm-ntcd.
Whfla, therefore. Or! off senior offered
to hny Si>nia and give her to hi* *on to
wife the count ief>i*ed to m l! her. "No
| one belonging to my estate." he said. '
: "shall jmss nnder the inllnenrc <?f those ,
j now notions which are intended to In
| terfetv with th< will of the eii!)<erar. j
j In Russia we hive always ueoded aud ;
J always had a siui.de power to mie.
j Certain people are new l*i Inning an;
j agitation whlrh If per-isted in will ?slu- i
'rate the lower ';????? TI< will be- I
i conn* dbteon tented With their lot. ami
; we sha'l have aiien-hy."
When the ftirmer gave the o mill's |
answer to his mm. advi-i-ig hlto to
, think no more of Si-iiJt, a rel>eilioiis j
| Ore dared in tin- yetins man's breast. ;
He dare not tell S?iif.i. f >r she WWltd j
, undoubtedly feel that the ho;>e of hap- I
j plness uhirh h:id l?rn l?rn to her had !
j been i|McM. siwv she vnNI never
| dream of disputing her master'* will.
: The law gave her to 1:1 ti a* a serf,
and if she rpl>el1od the law would pnn
iah her. Indeed, ? i mrrlagv without
J the count"* consent was Impracticable,
j If her lover attempted to defy the
; count he wonld l>e ml to 8il*?ria.
? Sont.V* master told her that the propo
I sitiun had ls*en inside, that lie had de
| dined it. and there was ati end of the
I matter.
Peter l>roo.led ow the matter till he
was ready to take any risk to |?ow- <
Son la. He had expected to work his
father'* farm after his father bad
passed away, as each son had succeed
ed hW father from time immem?irial.
With S<>nla for hl? wife he would
have liecn content to do no. If he
should possess ber he mn*t do so by
running away with her. and If 'irnght
the cousequeixea mould lie terriWe,
not only for him, but fir her. Hut
lore wHI take any risk. Peter J&A
heard of America. There the people
were their own ruler*. If he could
only pet Son la out of Itussia and take
her to America they conld lie united.
Jtnt any attempt to carry her away
: wouHl be fraught with great <langcr,
and there was every chance of failure.
The only -chance for such an attempt
to suci-ced would lie by lirll<ery, al
way* a common method of accomplish
ing object* In Itussia. but Peter, so
Ion.: aa his father lived, oc.ld tot raise
much money. The ohl man was not
minded to cripple hitnncif hy raising
funds to carry out any wild iwbcme
of bis son'* to ?r?tlsfy a whim. I!e
*ides, aons awl danjrhter* in Itnssia
were not supposed to cho ^e mnte<?;
they were provided by tbelr parents.
! Peter secseMy saved w'vit money he
; eon'd. knowing tt1.1t e**ea If lie suc
I' ceeded In getting S.nji.i out of Itws-sla
he could not lake her to America
< without means. In one way end an
i other he c<* twret he- enough to pfiy a
IMissace. TliCR lie bet n to weigh the
j different plan* he had l>ocn formio*
. for kidnaping ills lot e. He dated uot

he bad tn mind, fearing -that even a
i knowledge of It would atn-<e her nn
j wittingly to betray It. Theu. too. he
I bad no iM)nn<f that She would con
! sent to take a ri?k fraught with such
I frightful come<pien< es to Iter and him
self in case of failure.
Tbe plan he i hnw eiobodled Its for
mation, Its execution and its re<jmnsi
Wlity solely In himself. No other was
to share the se< ret ?rMh him. not even
. Souta. It was to kidnap the girl and
carry ber around the pilf of Itothnla
into Sweden. The country through
which they must pas* was cold and
desolate. The only thing that rendered
tbe scheme at all feasible was that the
estate from which they would start
was only a hundred mil** from the

As soon as the wo'v?-< lied devoured
the two of their number that bad been

i to the fugitives that r?wl* of Are were

he dropped a woif T".:en be killed two
