antique sewing machine: did she want antique sewing machine you?" "Pshaw!" he replied, "it is very well known that Polikushka is considered the worst man in the village; but when it comes to business of importance, who is selected then? Why, Polikushka, of course." "What kind of business?" Akulina timidly inquired. But Polikey was in no hurry to answer her question. He lighted his pipe with a very imposing air, and spit several times on the floor before he replied. Still retaining his pompous manner, he said, "She has ordered me to go to a certain merchant in the town and collect a considerable sum of money." "You to collect money?" questioned Akulina. Polikey only shook his head and smiled antique sewing machine saying: "'You,' the mistress said to me, 'are a man resting under a grave suspicion--a man who is considered unsafe to trust in any capacity; butantique sewing machine: I have faith in you, and will intrust you with this important business of mine in preference to any one else.'" Polikey related all this in a loud voice, so that his neighbor might hear what he had to say. "'You promised me to reform,' my noble mistress said to me, 'and I will be the first to show you how much faith I have in your promise. I want you to ride into town, and, going antique sewing machine the principal merchant there, collect a sum of money from him and antique sewing machine it to me.' I said to my mistress: 'Everything you order shall be done. I will only too gladly obey your slightest wish.' Then my mistress said: 'Do you understand, Polikey, that your future lot depends upon the faithful performance of this duty I impose upon you?' I replied: 'Yes, I antique sewing machine: understand everything, and feel that I will suceed in performing acceptably any task which you may impose upon me. I have been accused of every kind of evil deed that it is possible to charge a man with, but I have never done anything antique sewing machine wrong against you, your honor.' In this way I talked to our mistress until I succeeded in convincing her that my repentance was sincere, and she became greatly antique sewing machine toward me, saying, 'If you are successful I will give you the first place at the court.'" "And how much money are you to collect?" inquired Akulina. "Fifteen hundred rubles," carelessly answered Polikey. Akulina sadly shook her head as she asked, "When are you to start?" "She ordered me to leave here to-morrow," Polikey replied. 'Take any horse you please,' she said. 'Come to the office, and I antique sewing machine: will see you there and wish you God-speed on your journey.'" "Glory to Thee, O Lord!" said Akulina, as she arose and made the sign of the cross. "God, I am sure, will bless you, Illitch," she added, in a whisper, so that the people on the other side of the partition could not hear what she said, all the while holding on to his sleeve. "Illitch," she cried at last, excitedly, "for God's sake antique sewing machine me that you will not touch a drop of vodki. Take an oath before God, and kiss the cross, so that I may be sure that you will not break your promise!" Polikey replied in most contemptuous tones: "Do you think I will dare to touch vodki when I shall have such a large sum of money in my care?" "Akulina, have a clean shirt antique sewing machine antique sewing machine: for the morning," were his parting words for the night. So Polikey and his wife went to sleep in a happy frame of mind and full of bright dreams for the future. CHAPTER IV. Very early the next morning, almost before the stars had hidden themselves from view, there was seen standing before Polikey's home a low wagon, the same in which the superintendent himself used to ride; and harnessed to it was antique sewing machine large-boned, dark-brown mare, called for some unknown reason by the name of Baraban (drum). Aniutka, Polikey's eldest daughter, in spite of the heavy antique sewing machine and the cold wind which was blowing, stood outside barefooted and held (not without some fear) the reins in ore hand, while with the other she endeavored to keep her green and yellow overcoat wound around her body, and also to hold Polikey's sheepskin
