The Red Wolfe and a Russian Tale of Death and Mercy
A Russian woman begs as a court panel chaired by commissioners hears a tale of revolution, a Red Wolfe executioner, and a fugitive narrator who recalls his capture, the planned death, and a last plea for mercy amid a village burning and hunger for justice. The speaker recalls Katia, the burned homeland, and a dramatic moment where mercy hinges on a cigarette and a smoking gesture. The proceedings move to the next case as the chief calls for order.

Device for Diverting Water Described in Rude Illustration
An antiquated metal device for diverting water is described with a crude illustration. The page notes a heavy sheet metal form with a semi-ovoid shape and a hidden edge fastened between two thin wooden strips by bolts. The trough passes through holes and is carried by a bent tran section. A cheaper alternative is suggested by attaching the trough to one side of a single strip.
