After some difficulties tho refugee made his uj noonru ner nnd nnnounccd His Identity to the captnln. If he had ex pected to be received with the honor dm to one of his rank nnd station, he was quickly undeceived, for Captain Blnsh ford, n mau of rough manners, con coaling a gentle henrt, looked him over critically, examined his credentials (let ters he had happened to have about him), nnd then smiled grimly. "We've got room for one more nnd that's about nil." "I have no money " began th refugee. "Oh, thnt's all right," shrugged the viiiHiiiu, you rc not tnc only one. We've n cargo of twenty princes, thirty-two countesses to set up n new nation somewhere.

Tho matter-of-fnet tones with which the uncmotionnl Britisher mnde thl announcement restored the lost sense of humor of tho Russian refugee, and lw broke into a grim laugh.

For, not content with betrnylng, she has betrayed herself." "But what are you going to do?" Peter Nicholnevltch smiled up nt the sky, and the fussy, fat, bejewelcd sycophant before him listened to him in amnzement.
