A foolish accident makes them both fall into the river, and they are drowned. "The End of a Story," which we are about to analyze, deserves, as does "Humble People," a special place in the work of Kuprin. It is a little masterpiece of graceful emotion. Kotik, a child of seven, and the son of a celebrated painter, teases his father to tell him a story. The father racks his memory.

Thus, for instance, he forced Dr. Glaser upon Mr. Kotik as the counsel. The Persecutions of the Sokols
