From Ulm Russian of I- W. Dosto-

it pleased me much; bLt the Christ-

thing in common with the others,
and, therefore, was independent.
There was another man Who ap-

ther and was bidden to this family
feast. Ile was a tall, thin man.
grave, and becomingly dressed. He
did not seem- to feel at home in the
festivities. Ile sat in a corner and
when he laugher] he 'drew his dick,
black brows together. He knew no
ono at the ball except the master of
the house. It was easy to read in
his manner that he was- bored, but
he continued bravely to the end to
Play lel.: part - as a welcome guest. I
made tie my mind that he was from
the pproviuces and diad come to town
on business; that an invitation from
our host had reached him, and be-
cauee he had nothing beliter to do
lied come to the children's ball. They
did not piny cards, no one smoked,
and apparently he could find no-
thing to do all evening hut stroke
his whiskers. His whiskers were
very fine, but be stroked them so
zealously that one's first thought was
that he must have come into the
world with those whiskers; the sec-
ond, that Ire must have come into
the world for the express purpose of
stroking theta.
I elides this man there was another -
who interested ate much, His name
was Julian Mastakowitsch. At a
glance you could see that lie was a
guest of honor, and I noticed a tear
in the eye of our host as he assured
Ifim that lie was Passing one of the
most pleasant evenings of his life.
!'lie children were at last turner!
into Ph1' room where the Christmas
tree stood; oorl; almost in an instant it
was, Blundered of its dainty; and in a
fele' minetes Half Its decorations had
been broken in the noisy play. For a
time I watched a blade -eyed, cur•ly-
headet boy who carried a wooden
gun. Then the attention of all was
directed to a little girl of 11 year's,
as pretty as a little dove, with great,
soulful eyes.
Soon the children became tared and
gathered in the little salon, where I
happened to be, and busied themselves
with their toys. As 1 watched the lit-
tle group any eyes fell inion Julien
Mastakowitseli, who stood with: his
hands behind his back listening to
the meaningless trifles.
I could seo the cunning of the host
in the distribution of the presents. A
little girl with 300,000 rubles dowry
had received the finest doll. Then
followed in a descending scale the
presents to the children wliose par-
ents were in less and less fortunate
circumstances. The last child -a lit-
tle boy of 10 years, small, thin, with
freckles and red Bair -received only a
stohy,boolr, that, you could ace fro=
the rising tears, had not a picture,
not even a frontispiece. He was the
son of a Poor widow, a governess in
the house, and was frightened and
neglected. He wore a shabby na-
keen jacket, and when he received his
book be looked with longing eyes on
the playthings of the others. He
would gladly have played with the
other children, but lie dared not.
You could see that he understood his
ilosai on.
I like to watch children. It is fas-
cinating to see their different charac-
teristics appear. I noticed that the
red-haired bay was strongly attracted
by the others' playthings. He watched
the players; they began to tease him,
One big fellow, with his liocket fall
of dainties, threw an apple at liim,
and =cuter saucy little boy walked
up to hint and struck shim. Ile did
not dare to cry, Then came the gov-
erness, his mother, and bade him not
to get in the way of the other chil-
dren. He run out into the room,
where the little girl was. She let
him sit, near her, and soon both were
engaged in dressing the beautiful
doll, I followed them.
For half an Hour I sat dozing /nil
