CHAPTER I. THE MISSING COURT. If was in the pavilion at Lord's that [ received the telegram which has In a Way transformed my life, and it ill happened like this: We were play- ing our annual match against the M. U. C.—but stay. You don’t know as yet

are. Let meexplain. ‘*We”’

| are (or, alas, were, in so far as I am concerned )

the boys.of Toddlestone school, and it was our glory, as well as

the dread ordeal of those who took part | in the match, to appear once in the ~ | year at Lord’s cricket ground, general-

ly about the first days of the summer holidays, in order to exhibit our pro-

ficiency in the great game vefore ime eyes of a delighted and admiring world.

Well, it was my last term at schoo]— for I was in my eighteenth year and l was due at Oxford in October—and I think perhaps dear old Adkins may have allowed this fact to influence him a little when he gave me my colors,

| entitling me to play at Lord’s. After

much vigorous play we won the game by four wickets, in which I made my first and only ‘‘century.”

Then came the congratulations at the pavilion, following the cheers that greet

from the wicket; then the refreshing shower bath and the sense of conviction

that this is the supreme moment of |

one’s life, and that if it were not for the hopes and anticipations that lurk in the word ‘‘varsity’’ one might ap- propriately lie down to the cadence of ‘Nunc dimittis’’ and wake no more.

And then, just as—with many elated and joyful schoo] companions—I pre- pared to depart for that dinner which was to crown the glorious day, then the telegram.

‘‘By George, Boris,” said some one as the pale, unwholescme looking docu- ment was handed to me, ‘‘your friends are pretty smart with the congratula- tions. The match munst have been re- ported in the evening papers. I didn't know we were to beso honored. Did you, Adkins?’

‘‘] didn’t know old Boris was going

to make a century!’’ said Adkins.

I tore open the envelope and read the missive.

“Good Lord, what’s the matter? Look at the color of his face!’’ I heard some one say.

“Let me sit down a minute and think,’’ said L

I sat and reread my telegram, while the blood im my head seemed to surge and prevent my brain working suffi-

ntly to grasp the meaning of the words.

‘Tbe message ran thus:

From Countess Landrinof, Count Boris Landrinof, T«

hl OS8s1bD1e.

There are many thousands of wise wo- men in this country

_ who, when they found

j

\ that they were suffer- >

) jing from weak- ¢ /// ness or disease of Hf their distinctly

womanly organ- / isms, promptly wrote to an emi- nent and skillful physician, with a world-wide repu- tation, instead of trusting their cases to some ob- scure physician with but fimited practice and ex- perience. There are many reasons why a wise woman fol- lows this course. The chances are that an obscure physician of small practice will not diagnose troubles of this nature prop- erlv. If he does, he will insist on the obnoxious examinations and local treat- ment from which every sensitive, modest woman shrinks. ;

The specialist referred to is Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Thirty years ago he discovered a wonderful medicine for diseases peculiar to women, that may be used effectively in the privacy of the home, and does away with all necessity for exam- jnations and local treatment. This medi- cine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in wife- hood and motherhood. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It allays in- flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. Taken during the period of prospective maternity it banishes the usual discomforts an makes baby’s coming easy and almost pain- less. It insures the little new-comers health and an ample supply of nourish- ment. Over ninety thousand women have testified to its marvelous merits. Medicine dealers sell it. ; :

It is a druggist’s business to give you, not to tell you, what you want. — :

Any siting woman may write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and get free advice. By inclosing 3! one-cent stamps in hes letter, 4o cover cost of customs and aa only, she may secure a paper-covered Copy of the “People’s Common Sense Medica)

Adviser.”’ Cloth bound, so stamps.

And then—the telegram. was one of the largest landowners 1r our part of Russia and had, besides, 1 iron works in St. Petersburg and other

sources of revenue. He was, in fact, a very rich man.

‘“‘Cheer up, anyhow, cld boy,” con- tinued Adkins. ‘‘i’m sure it will be all right about the count. What about Ox- ford, though—does it mean you won’t be able to go up? After your innings tocay that would be a double pity, for we should look to see you tried for the varsity—and carefully tried.”’

“Oh, don’t talk about cricket! I can't bear it!’’ I groaned. ‘‘1 feel as thouch I had played my last game.”

I did feel this. I felt as though some heavy cloud had suddenly fallen upon my future, blctting out all hope of hap- piness, present or. future. This was ridiculous and foolish, of course, but one is always inclined in youth, to exag- gerate the power of misfortune. Mis- fortunes do bow the head for the time being, no doubt, but as the tree bent with the sudden downfall of snow will, after a day or two, cast its burden and stand upright once more to the winds of heaven, so does the young heart free it-

, self in time of its load of misfortune,

however heavy, and perhaps gradually forget that which once seemed too great to be borne.

I would not go to the dinner lest I should throw a shadow over the rest of the party, but I returned to the hotel and sat down to think quietly over this blow and its possible nature and conse- qnences. I loved my father intensely. He was a Russian, as his name would indicate, and so, of course—in name— was I But my mother was English. My father had met her at Cowes while yachting and had brought her home to our huge estates near Kazan as his bride. I was the only child. By special permission of the czar (Alexander Il, who was still reigning when I was born)

I was allowed to be baptized into the English communion, to which, of course, mother belonged, and for which my fa- ther had the greatest respect, perhaps more than for his own branch of the church. Consequently I was from the first an Englishman, and an English- ' man I remained, for my parents placed 1 me at school at Toddlestone at the age of 10, and I had remained there ever since, only returning to Russia for such of my holidays as my parents did not pass with me in England.

Thus in name I was a Russian count. In religion and in upbringing and in every taste and sentiment that I pos- sessed I was an Englishman. I sent my

mother a long telegram from the hotel. ; I entreated her to let me know whether my father lived, whether Oxford was to ' be given up finally or provisionally only, and whether I could stay a day or two just to collect my things, buy clothes, and so forth.

My mother replied by noon of the following day that—but stay, I have the astounding message by me to this

dear mother! She must indeed been in sore strait tohave sent me such a message as this!

That was as quickly as the railway could take me } to her. Oxford might go hang Was time enough for Oxford.

The Flushing express started from Victoria at 8:30 tonight. I should catch | it without fail. Poor, dear old mother in distress and father disappeared !

When a man disappears in England or America, ove goes and the nearest pond and gives notice at the police station. But what of a disappear- ance in Russia? Alas, a man may dis- appear in many ways in our country— or could, for, though but afew years have passed since the tfme of which I write, things are improving by leaps and bounds; light is spreading—God’s light of civilization. One’s first thought in such a case as my father’s would, of course, be a mixed one—spies, nibilists, police, Siberia. I passed rapidly in thought over all these things in the first shock of that word ‘‘disappeared.’’
