' THE RUSSIAN SPY. kas ■Tie )/, ! called Ka “Bat I coi chair. So professors at the of St Petersburg, and considering that they hod seen so much of him during his four years' student life they ought to know. We studeeU likewise held him in awe and' hedged him around with rever- enttal ostracism: That was ohr way of dealing with the few men who went in for “hard work,” as they called it Wa kept them at a re spectful distance and tabooed them. The fact is, we heartily despised the mean wretches who thus sacrificed the glorious cause of humanity to crass egotism and sat down quietly to work for themselves at a time when society was going to pieces. That same Kaffsky, for instance, used to squander his days and nights over mathematics and chemistry and half a donen kindred sciences, as if life were to last for eternity. We did not believe in a man having so many irons in the fire, and we limit ed our own efforts to the accomplish ment of one single task—the regen eration of mankind as a preliminary step to tho remodeling of Russian so ciety. But for this we grudged no sacrifice, not even that of our ar dent desire for self reformation. Kaffsky never fell in with these views, and you had only to look in his face to see that he had little sym pathy with them. He was a low sized, squarely built man of sallow complexion, whose flowing beard, had it been gray Instead of jet black, would have given him theappear- lince of u venerable sage, a Russian Zoroaster, for even as it was he seemed quite old enough tcLbohis own father. Still for all his exterior coldness you might detect in his black, -melancholy eyes unmistak able signs of latent lightnings, which cn occasion would flash forth with effect Long before this wo had „ weighed Kaffsky in tf’e political bal r.nce—the only one in vogue at bus sfan universities 10 years ego—and had found him sadly wanting. He was a memlier.of peat* of the three churchiii outnido of which there is no salvation—-that of tho sworn con sidiutors. who edited a forbidden p<> Ltkr.l journal. Land and Liberty, hatched plots against the state and sometimes helped to carry them out; that of Jnswom conspirators from whom the former were usually re cruited. and the hulk of students who sympathized with everything r.nd everyliody who ewbarruised the government. Kaffsky hejd aloof from us all, never took part iu our skhodky (illegal meetings), hd lectures with exasjiereting . ^ ilarity, talked with his professors on a footing of equality and was now within four > weeks of obtaining his degree and * receiving a post at the university which would enable him to qualify for a chair, and to crown all we had just heard of his impending mar riage. “A nice time to be thinking of marrying and feathering his neat I” we remarked to each other, “just when the pillars of the social edifice art rving way and we are doing our best to pull them down in order to build up something better.” But Kaffsky always was. a selfish, bold, conceited dog. When the name of bis future bride was mentioned, those among us who knew her were staggered a bit Anna Pavlovna Smirnova was not a Venus, but if she had much lees beauty than ' her photograph—which is a common tailing of women—she had a good deal more wit, which is not by any means so common. Although appar ently young enough to be his daugh ter, Anna Pavlovna was Kaffsky’s ■anior by five or six years, and to m.Va matters still more mixed she was a red Radical at heart. Former ly her democratic views had got her into hot water with the authorities, and it was not without considerable difficulty that she had obtained her present position as teacher of a girls' gymnasy, which enabled her to live in modest competency with her wid owed mother. What bewitched Kaff sky in her or what attracted her to him was a dark mystery to us who knew them both Nor was it t. only mystery about the man. The police, we knew, had twice or thrice made elaborate in quiries about him; bad noted his comings in and goings out and had set a watch upon his actions. Pla- toff, when arrested a few weeks ago, chanced to have Kaffsky's card in hia pocket and was subjected to a long secret cross examination about his dealings with him. We buret oat laughing when told oT this. “The secret police people must be off their heads altogether,’’ said Aloxeioff. “As well suspoct the I at the.Nikolai. bridge jeo of stuckup selfishness told him so. Ue was astounded at what I told him and asked me to draw tip an account of Kaffsky's case in writing. He would see, he Said, that justice should be done. 1 had no difficulty in obtaining pre cise particulars. 1 discovered Sven the name ef the forwarding prison, over 1,000 - miles away, in which Kaffsky was at that time interned, and having made out a very strong case I gave my friend the paper, and he presented it to his relative, tho minister. A week passed, then a fortnight, and still there was no answer. “There are no return tickets to Si; beria, and it takes a long time to print ono, ” said a sympathizing friend of mine. I fancied.that tho first tid ings 1 should hear of the matter would be Kaffsky's apparition in the coffee room of tho university. But it wasn’t One day my philanthropic friend shook his head, said my data were all wrong, that Kaffsky was the most dangerous conspirator that had ever been tripped up in tho very nick of time, and that he would advise me to keep aloof from political re formers in future, as it was evident they could moke black appear white without an effort I replied that the authorities were evidently post mas ters in the self same art, if I might judge by their uawconvictions. He was dlent and I went mournfully away. Six years later I heard that Kaffsky was no more. He died of disease, cr was shot in a tumult, or disposed of in some such way. The particulars were not very precise, but he was really dead, that was certain. “Noth ing elan but death is certain in Rus sia,” I remarked to an ex-minister to whom I had been telling the whole story after dinner. “So you are going to write about it, you say,” he asked mo, “to ease your feelings?’’ “I am.” I replied. “Very well, then, if you come here in two or three days I will supply you with a most interesting postscript’’ And he did. His statement wus based on official documents, and this was the gist of it “When .the terrorist movement was at its height, the leaders were invisible and ubiquitous. We sus pected that they wore in the univer sity, but that was only a guess. Once or twice Kaffsky appeared to be in the movement, but we had no proof and could, get none. It then occurred to General O. of the secret depart ment to employ a spy who had never played tho part of a detective be fore.” “I know. You mean the scoun drelly informer, Boorman,” I broke in.* "“Boorman? Boorman? Was he? <5h, of course he was. Yes. No, Boorman was not the detective. Boorman, I see, was nearly as dan gerous os Kaffsky. Ho was Kaffsky's right hand man, and he got tho same punishment.” Kaffsky,” exclaimed Lavroff. confess I should enjoy seeing him nabbed and doubled up in a ‘se cret’ In the fortress. It would teach him to think a little of those who suffer there.’’- “There must be some reason for the suspicion,” cried Brodsky, the cleverest and most respected student among the radical set. “There’s al ways fire where there’s smoke, and as wo know there’s no fire hero then there cannot possibly bo any real smoke. It’s a matter of smoked glassfipectacles.’’ The remark struclt m all as tho acme of - cleverness. It was warmly applauded. “Well, but who can have smoked the govern ment's speetacler.?” somebody adked. “Ah, that's a question which each ono must solve tor himself,” was tho reply. “Boorman, Boorman 1 He alone has a grudge against Kaffsky 1” cried half a dozen voices. Boorman entered the room shortly afterward, and silence fell upon us all. Now, none of us had a doubt that 1)6 was the Judas Iscariot. Our very eyes told us that he was intended for nothing else. His hangdog expres sion, his slouching gait, his furtive glance and stammering delivery pro claimed the nature of the spirit that lived and worked within him. We had reasons as plentiful as blackber ries for suspecting Boorman, bat conclusive proof we had none. Still we regarded him as a marked man, the discovery of whose body in a ditch or a well would have provoked neither sorrow nor surprise, for he was, or bad been, in the counsels of the Terrorists, and they never for gave or forgot The present cose strengthened our suspicion, for Boor man and Kaffsky had quarreled years before at the gymnasy, and al though they were on speaking terms at the university there was no doubt that their hatred was as strong as ever. The days glided rapidly by—the warm, sunny days, followed by the lightsome nights, which make St. Petersburg a paradise during the lat ter end of May. Summer vacations were at hand. The last of the ex aminations would take place in 10 j days, and then we would disperse i over the length and breadth of the; empire, many of ns never to return again. Suddenly we were stunned and stupefied by a bolt from the blue sky in the shape of a rumor that Kaffsky had been arrested. “Kaffsky?” “Rub bish!” “Where?” “When?” “For what?” were our first exclamations. At first the answers were contradic tory. Then they gradually con- ! verged in this brief account of the matter. He and Alexeieff. had gone to the theater the night before. They had walked home together and made an appointment for tho mor row at the university, but at 2 a. m. Kaffsky had been spirited away and was now in the secret wing of the Lithuanian fortress. “Incredible I” •‘Private vengeance I” “The secret police are mad were some of our commentaries on the narrative. A written request was presented by some of the professors, who were be side themselves with indignation, that Kaffsky should be released on bail, just to finish his examinations and take hb degree, for they knew very well it was all a n uderstanding or else a base plot hatched by a pri vate enemy. ' Tt will be all ground up fine and come out as flour in the end," they remarked in the words of t£u Luatian proverb. But to our ut ter astonishment their request was refused, and Kaffsky Was removed from tho Lithuanian fortress only to be immured in the more terrible fortress of Peter and Paul. The rec tor was next asked to intercede for him, but in spite of his proverbial readiness to shield his subjects he counseled patience .and thereby an gered the whole body of the stu dents. The excitement caused by the ar rest was assuming dangerous pro portions. Nobody had cared a rap for Kaffsky a week before, and he was a most popular hero now. Peo ple who had never previously seen or heard of him went about preaching vengeance. None of us could haw c counted for this rapid change i.‘ we had been calm enough to notice it It was not because of the man’s loss of liberty, nor of the loss of his de gree, though that was much more serious, nor yet by reason of his bin dered marriage. Perhaps it was hatred for the heartless informer— who had been arrested no doubt to save him from being lynched—and sympathy for Anna Pavlovna, whose womanly teoliugs had got the bettei of her philosophy. 8he had com pletely broken down. One of tho professors had been to see her, and tho story he told us would him melted the soul of the stoniest stoic. Bhe bad been taken to her bed, aad refused all food, had forwarded petition after petition to the minister of the interior, and when it became clear that she might just as well be sowing salt on the seashore her mind gave way. The doctors sent her mother and herself in post haste to Crimea while there was still some faint glimmer of hope that she might bo rescued from the madhouse and the grave. It was at this conjuncture that we Bet out on our long vacations. In Octoiier a few of us met in St. Petersburg once more—but only a few. The police had made a tremen dous haul among the students the day the university had closed last session, and many were now in their distant native villages, expelled from the university, others in prison, others again on the road to Siberia. Kaffsky, we learned, was among the latter—eondem ned to the mines as a | dangerous conspirator in spite of the intercession of professors. Anna Pavlovna was dead, according to K, It. V.

There is nno’d l.ntin riddle of the Eighth century, in which the table rays: "I feed people with many kinds of food. First. I am quadrupled, and adorned with handsom3 clothing; th n I am robbed of my apparel and lose my legs also.” The food of the Anglo-Saxon was largc'y bread The bread was baked In round, flat cakes, which the supersti tion of the cook marked with a cross, to preserve them from the perils of tha fire.

The drinking horns were at first lit erally horns, and so must be Imme diately emptied when filled; lat?r, wbdn the pvimitire horn had been re placed by a glass cap. it retained a tradition of its rude predecessor in its shape, so that it. too, had to ba emptied at a draft. Each guest was furnished with aspoon. while his knife he always carried in his belt: as for forks, who dreamed-rtf them when na ture had given man ten fingers? But you willsea why a servant with a basin of water and a towel always presented himself to each guest before dinner was served and after it was ended. Boasted meat was served on the spit or rod on which it was cooked, and the guest cut or tore off a piece to suit himself. Boiled meat was laid on the Cakes of bread, or later, on thick slices of bread called ‘ trenchers.” from a Norman word meaning “to cut,’' as these were to carve tho meat on, thus preserving the table cloth from the knife. At first the ' trencher was eaten or thrown upon the stone floor . for the dogs who crouched at their mas- | ter's feet. At a later dato it was put in 1 a msket and given to the poor who gathered at the manor gate. I During the latter part of the Middle Ages the most conspicuous object on the table was the saltcellar. This was generally of silver, in the form of a ' ship. It was placed in the center of the long table at which the household gathered, my lord and lady, their family ' and guests, being at one end and their retaiaers and servants at the other. So one's position in regard to the salt was a test of rank—the gentlefolks sitting •‘above the salt” and the yeomanry . below It In tha houses of the great noble* , dinner was served with much cere mony. At the hour a stately procos- I sion entered the hall. First came sev eral musicians, followed by the stew ard bearing his rod of office, and then came a long line of servants carrying different dishes.
