A RUSSIAN PROPRIETOR and OTHER STORIES BY COUNT LYOF N. TOLSTO TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN BY NATHAN HASKELL DOLE NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL & CO. 13 ASTOR PLACE [v] PREFACE. The following tales are, with one exception, taken from the second volume of Count L. N. Tolsto's collected works, and are representative of his literary activity between 1852 and 1859.

CHAPTER XV My dear Bors, said Princess Anna Mikhylovna to her son as Countess Rostvas carriage in which they were seated drove over the straw covered street and turned into the wide courtyard of Count Cyril Vladmirovich Bezkhovs house. My dear Bors, said the mother, drawing her hand from beneath her old mantle and laying it timidly and tenderly on her sons arm, be affectionate and attentive to him. Count Cyril Vladmirovich is your godfather after all, and your future depends on him. Remember that, my dear, and be nice to him, as you so well know how to be. If only I knew that anything besides humiliation would come of it... answered her son coldly. But I have promised and will do it for your sake. Although the hall porter saw someones carriage standing at the entrance,...
