Owen he knew that his arm was broken.He lay still for a moment on the short

grass, staring up into the sky and won-

dering why the boys had left him on thefield. Then, with a start, he rememberedthat it was not foot ball but a wicked blowfrom behind which had felled him and thatit was not the field at New Haven. but alonely roadside in Russian Lithuania whichpillowed his aching head.The sun was just rising, so he knew that

he must have dropped like a log and lainthere half the night. It was deadly quiet.Something aside from the aching of hiswhole body told him that he was badlyhurt, so that when he tried to move he fellback with a groan of pain, with the sweatgathering in beads upon his forehead andaround his mouth.He had plenty of time to recall the cir-

cumstances whiche placed him there. leremembered quite distinctly that Prin,eKorolenko had warned him that troublemight surely be expected. In fact, thatwas chiefly why the young American hadundertaken the survey.Owen was a civil engineer of some re-

nown, and at a dinner of the ambassadorsin St. Petersburg he had sat next the Rus-sian. the boundary of whose estates !nLithuania, or Russian Poland, were hotlydisputed by the Countess Syskiewicz andher sons. whose estates abutted on Prmc-'Korolenko's. This dispute had been held inabeyance for years, but now, as the princewished to sell, the quarrel which aereto-fore had been largely kept up by the peas-ants on the two estates must be settledby law. The prince. always courteous, hadformally suggested arbitration to his Pol-ish neighbor, and had requested her to se-lect an engineer who would be biased byneither Polish nor Russian sympathies. Tothis the elegant old countess had reolledwith equal courtesy that she would suggestan American, of whose engineering sk-1lshe had heard some marvelous accounts,but owing to the fact that she was a widowand had withdrawn from public affairs, sheleft the selection of the American to Prin.-,Korolenko, who mingled with the warldand in whose integrity she had full eonli-dence.Greatly pleased by this courtesy, the

prince had asked Owen if he cared to un-dertake It, explaining that he had notirgto fear from the gentry, but that the blivipartisanship of the pesants, especiallywhen augmented by vodke, was apt to re-suit in a broken head."Well. if not a broken head, a broken

everything else," thought Owen.The sun was perhaps two hours high

when the stillness vas broken by a sharpjingling of bells, and the clatter of gallop-ing hoofs and the roll of wheels."A troika!" exclaimed Owen. trying to

raise himself. The effort was too much forhim, and he fell back. Then a thoughtcame to him and with his uninjured hand,he pulled out his handkerchief and held itup. The morning breese Buttered the paleIfa of truce and It caught the eye of thedriver, who shouted to the occupant of thetroika.

THE RESULTS THAT CAME ABOUT FROM ONEWOMLAN'S READING AN ADVERITI8ING

PAMPHLET THAT WAS THROWN

AT HER DOOR.It is interesting oftentimes to trace the tesults

which follow from comparatively insigniflcantcauses. Here in a good ilustratlon:A wan ia Rome. N. Y., Mr. W. TP. Clark, w-as

ecmed of stomach trouble and nervosnss by acertain medicine and gave the manufacturers per-mission to se her statement recommending thepreparation. This was published in a booklet andthrew. around at the doors. Now Mrs. WillamNetot, also of Rome, was ailing, and, happeningto read the book, came acro.. the descripti-in ofMrs. Clark's case. In momen respects their symp-temus were similar, so she went to Mrs. Clark'shouse, at No. 318 West Thomas street, ad askedber about it. Mrs. Metot tells the story as follows:

"I had bees miserable for a long time, sugferingwith the trembles which come with the turn oflife. It made me sick to my stomach. I hadsmetheriag spells every once in a while and, If Iwalked any distance, my limbs felt like sticks.My head felt just as if I was gning to be crazyand with it all I was aEleted with nerrousnessad heart tremble. I felt so bad that I did notsee anything to live for.

"'I went to a doctor, but he didn't do me muchgoad, and so I was pretty well discouraged. ThenI sw in a booklet that was thrown around howMrs. Clark was cured. I went to see her, andau her recommendation I went that vary dayand sot some of lar. Williams' Pink Pills for IPalePeeple."That was about the 1st of Jane. I felt better

Ihave reeommended Dr. Wint.am' Piak Pills forPale P'eopie to many people and will continue todo so. for I know what they will do from myr ownexperience."Mr.. Metot livea at No. 42S W. Blomfeld

street. Rome, N. Y. Her statement is .netherpsoof of the well-deserved popularity of Dr. Wil-liama' Pink Pills for Pale People. If the pillshad not been goad, Mrs. Clark would not baresecounended thenm; if they had sot cared Mrs.Metot she would not have advised her hnsh-ndsad 'sister and friend, to take them, 'lie moedi-clue Is all that is claimsed for it, ad easequentlyevery one who tries it is another added to thelong list of those who praise it and hare madeit famous.

hurts with the skill of a trained nurse, butwithout her professional calmness, forfrom her manner of responsibility Owenfelt sure that this was the young CountessSyszkiewicz, whose peasants had attackedhim the night before. Her cheeks were-lushed with excitement and her eyes wereark with remorse and pity.Without waiting for any answer from

Dwen she worked on, the touch of her coollingers Inexpressibly soothing to thewounds she bandaged with deft skill. Sud-denly she sprang up, a glitter of silvertrifles hanging from her belt making a jin-gle as If of bells. She ran to the horses'heads, and the coachman, in response to afew words in Polish, placed Owen In thetroika, where he all but fainted from thepain.The young girl sprang Into the troika,and after a moment of hesitation seated

herself and caught the half-fainting man

Thus half lying in her arms,:he coachman holding In his restive horsesintil they were covered with fiecks'of foamfrom their fretting, the troika reached the5mall pavilion where the old countess and3. troop of servants -met them, and Owenfelt himself lifted out and borne up somesrtairs, and one of the men @tumbled and heheard a sharp reproof in a woman's voice,and then he remembered no more.

I.Owen lost cotaft of .the days after that.

[t was an easy thing to do, for as is fevergrew less and his clouded brain grew clearagain the peace and beauty of his sur-

roundings and the fierce unrest of hisheart gave him so many things to think&bout that his recovery was slow.The pavilion was a hospital, arranged out

Af her private Income by the little CountessE~lena. From Its open windows the greenand blue waves of the Baltic, with theirlips of foam, might be seen lapoing againstthe sandy beach.Every day the Countess Byszkiewics paid

a visit to the Invalid, while the young girlElena spent most of her time In the pavil-ion, but coming seldom Into Owen's room.He could hear the soft jingling of her sil-ver chatelaine as she moved abaut thehouse, and he strained his ears to hear itduring hours when they fancied hie slept.Although consumed with the desire to

A THIRTY DOLLAR FROCK

1S3eia Cwrrepoeni.ce of n.TEening Star.NEW YORK, November 7. 1901.

Magnificence of material and simplicityof cut are the distinguishing features of thenew evening gowns. -There Is, too, a no-

ticeable modification in the flare of skirts,which in the richer textures reveal superbinsets of lace and pailettes (spangles) ofgold or Jet. .The popular bodice is the round"baby" affair, which shows a decolletagediscreetly modest as to limit, and with thisa skirt that fastens across the back with-out gathers is a favorite model.However, to obtain this very desirable

plainness, which looks so extremely simple,a good cut Is necessary, and any accident-al shortening of a seam will bring disaster,as the placket must. meet easily to set well.Inverted plaits are a simpler device for theplacket finish-from one to three each sidethe lap-and one that may be attempted bythe most modest home dressmaker.Elbow sleeves, fitting the upper arm tight-

'ly and ending in a deep kAtsd founce oflace or chiffon, are a detail of certain styl-ish brocade bodices, which accompany lacs.chiffon or net. skirts, and show smart littlefolded tails, held down by two or morejeweled buttons. An under blouse of theskirt texture often shows at sides and frontof these; the decolletage is rather lower-than that of the round bodice, and is fn-ished with prim little collars and revers,which, it of lace, may end in stole pointsthat fasten under a crush belt of pannevelvet or gold 'bet.

White and Gold Efeets.Among the French models a few rare

gowns in softly falling crepe or silk showa decidedly Greek influence in the severesimplicity of their "hang," and in theirwhite and gold combinations. White andgold is, in fact, a favorite motive this sea-son for toilets de soiree, and by that Ismeant anything that is low in the neck.and which has been fashioned with festiveevening intent. Not even the radiantlycharming little frocks of net and mousse-line, which show applied garlands of silkflowers in natural tints, are as delightfulas these gold and white gowns. They arethe very pearls of the season, and thoughthe white and gold motive may be carriedto points of barbaric splendor, It yet admitsof the simplest treatment.For instance, a fairy-like costume of white

tulle is threaded at the flounces with finegold fIu (about the size of 40 thread), theraw edges of hems being held In place byIt. Tulle cannot be tod lightly handled,and to preserve. the look of misty airinesswhich it needs to be effective, dressmakersfrequently leave founces and rchins un-hemmed.Another white and gold gown was of

crepe de chine, treated with embroideriesin fat tinsel of the most burni.hA andglittering variety. The design of these em-broideries was a sort of horn of plenty,overflowing at the wide tbps with raimedbunches of grapes; slightly below the top ofthese, which pointed upward from theslrhem, and were perhaps six in number, asmall butterfly was posed as If fallen fromthe fruit.
