' A former ambassador of France to Rus
la during a game of chess with the nar-
rutor of the story, relates an experience at
he Russian court: Xot Ions after the
death of the Cxar, Alexander 111. a uhost
bad been Been in one of the corridors of
the Winter Palace. While the ambussador
is culling on the Princess NestlkolT, the
next auy. the son of the princess, Horls,
announces that it Is he who had seen the
Kliost, in whom he had been terrilled to
Tecoirnlze the late Czar. Alexander 111. The
ambassador suttpects that the supposed up-
Jiuritton is soma emissary of rhe nihilists,
le proposes that they repair to the gal
lery that night, and set a watch. This
they do.
PART III.
'I had come armed with my revol
ver." the ambassador continued,
"which I had loaded carefully with my
own hands. I took advantage of the
Interval, while we were waltinK for th
approach of the apparition, to make
my companion provide himself with a
similar weapon out of the panes' room.
Lest our presence in the Kulleiy should
nerve as a warning to the mysterious
visitor, and prevent ills approach, v. e
concealed ourselves In this room, which
was plunged in profound darkness. We

FAINT a LOW OF LHJHT.
All at onee, however, T did see some
thing which caused my heart to give a
great bound. Looking at the far end of
the gallery, where the. deserted apart
ments of which Uorls had told me were
situated, I distinctly perceived a faint
glow ot light along the lloor.
"Instantly I turned to the threshold
of the room in which I had left the
young prince, and beckoned to him to
come out into the gallery. He saw by
my manner that I had made some im
jxrtant discovery, and obeyed my ges
ture with shaking limbs. No sooner
had he emerged from the doorway, and
followed with his eyes the direction
In which I pointed than he gave a great
gasp of terror.
' 'The deserted suite! he exclaimed.
In a hoarse whisper. 'There hus never
been a light there In all the years that
1 ha.ve known this part of the palace!
"I nodded my head.
'It is what I expected you to tell
me,' I whispered back. 'Hut do not give
way to nervousness. You must see that
this confirms my theory of the clrcum
stanes which we are about to investi
gate. A spirit, such as you were de
ceived Into thinking you saw, would
not need a light for its purposes. It is
evident that we are on the track of a
more real and dangerous secret. The
person or persons who are engaged in
It have obtained possession of these va
cant rooms, In which they are probably
now engaged in developing their
schemes."
"The young prince no longer com-
batted the soundness of my conclusions.
" 'But what Is to be done?" he mur
mured. 'Shall 1 summon the guards, or
inform veiovitch, of the secret police?
"I considered well before answering.
One of those subtle intuitions which are
ljorn of long experience in secret poli
tics warned me that I stood on the
threshold of some discovery of no or
dinary kind, one which I might per
haps regret having to share with the
pecret police, and which It might, for
many reasons, be better that Horls him
self should not be made acquainted
with.
" 'No,' I said, at last, 'we have no
right to act precipitately. AVhatever
.we may suspect, we as yet know noth
ing that would warrant us in communi
cating with the authorities. It is a duty
which I feel I owe to myself and to you
to ascertain the real nature of this mys
tery on which we have stumbled. You
are a young man, and, moreover, a Rus
sian, and therefore I do not ask you to
expose yourself to peril in the matter.
As the envoy of a foreign power, my
person Is Inviolable, and I can there
fore afford to risk any Indiscretion,- Re
main here, I beg of you, while I go for
ward and effect an entrance Into the
apartment from which that light pro
ceeds. Should I not return by the end
of fifteen minutes, I authorize you to go
to M. Veiovitch and inform him of the
affair.'

authority of his beloved mother 1 suc

then consulted his watch so as to meas
ure the lapse of fifteen minutes, and I
advanced with noiseless steps down the
gallery.
"The liRht which I had observed
streamed out under un ancient and
massive door set in a deep stum arch
at the eastern end of the passage. My
llrst Impulse was to knock at this door,
but as 1 got close to It another idea
suggested itself to me. It was evident
ly through this door that the personage
beheld by Boris had made his approach
the night before.nnd it was just possible
that he might have omitted to lock too

on the oaken handle, and turned it with
iniinite delicacy and slowness. As

pressure of my hand. I gave a gentle
push to the dour. To my delight it
yielded. 1 gave another iuisii. -iuaoy
slight, and the door repponiUd with
a horrible grating sound. Further con
cealment was useless; I boldly (lung
the door open and stepped through.
"The llrst glance was tiutlicicnt to ten
mo that I had merely trained an ante
chamber, forming n sort of general ap
proach to the various rooms or which
the suite was composed. This ante
room was deserted, but Immediately on
the right lay a room of which the door
whs partly onen, and front which pro
ceeded the light that had lilt' red out
Into the gallery. Hastily closing tin
outer door behind me, I made two

by the creakins of Hie door, 1 saw the
very figure which Horis had described
to me. tln tal form, the darn roues.
and, above all, the pale and terrifying
countenance of the monarch whose
dentil had cast halt Europe into mourn

The ambassador seemed to think this
a suitable moment for returning to the
consideration of the game, in which it
was n en in his turn to move.
"Li t me beg of you to continue." I
exclaimed, unable to restrain my lm
patience. "I will resign."

lency. with Indulgence, 'you have got

"Whnt exclamation I uttered when I
first caught sight of this startling ap
parition I do not recollect. Hut when
the personage before nie thrust his
hnnd Into his pocket and drew out a
revolver. It was ltuMsslble for me to
doubt that I was dealing with a man of
llesh and blood. Like lightning I pro
duced my own weapon, which X leveled
at his breast, ut the same time exelaim-

steady look at my features, which he
no doubt began to recognize, and re
plied In mournful tones:
" 'I am Alexander II .'
"At Hie same time he sank duwn
again Into his chair, while my pistol
dropped from my hand, and X had to
cling to a table for support.
" .Sire!' wes all I could grasp out.
'Hut but pardon this intrusion,

" MJoad? Yes. 1 know It,' he respond
ed, still in the same melancholy voice,

chance or fate has put you into pus

no longer an emperor.'
"l obeyed, si ill struggling with my
astonishment.
" 'First of all, tell me by what means
you have penetrated to my hiuing plac
in which I imagined myself secure from
all mamklnd, snid the ex-czar.
in as lew words as possible I re
lated to his majesty the Incidents which
I have been telling: you. Ho listened
with deep attention.
Ah, well, baron, I remember you
of old,' he remarked, with a faint smile,
when I had flnlshd. 'You always had
the reputation for worming out mote
secrets than any other ninn in Kurope
and I ought to have foreseen that it
would bo necessary to take you int
my confidence. It is fortunate thut you
have came alone, and that your rigid
honor Is not less celebrated than your
dexterity.
"X bowed deeply at these compliments.
tils majesty continued:
" 'The only return I can make to you
for a iidelity of which I assure myself
beforehand Is to explain to you my
reasons tor wnat must seem to vou
an extraordinary state of things. Tiie

fess to you, baron, that from the mo
ment I ascended the bloody throne of

agony. Never once did I have one hour

could do nothing. I was helpless a
martyr bound to the stake of my au
tocracy. They prated to mo of re
forms. You are a man who knows Rus
sla as few men know It, nnd you can
tell me whether the first step In the dl

had secretly set my heart on abdicating.
I only waited till my son Nicholas wns
of an age to face tho dangers and dlfll
cultles of the task of governing Russia.
Hut by the time that the hour of re
lease drew near I had learned that ab
dicatlon would earn mo no respite from
the hatred with which I was pursued.
had acquired the knowledge that there
were those who had sworn that, on the
throne or off It, I should not be allowed
to die a natural death. To give up my,
Imperial state would simply be surren
dering my safeguards against the en
mity of those who sought my life. It
was these considerations which ulti
mately forced me to entertain the idea
f a deception which I lament, but to
which 1 owe the first peaceful days I
have spent for twelve years.
"I resolved, as you have gathered by
his time, to go solemnly through the
orms of death and burial, and thus
aciiuire the right to retire to some un
suspected retreat, where I might pass
he remainder of my days, shielded from
the vengeance of my relentless pur
suers. In order to curry out this de
sign it was necessary that I should take
tive persons Into my confidence, my
wife, my son, two physicians of whose
personal loyalty and friendship 1 had
had many proofs, and an old trusted
body servant on whom was cast the
luty of arranging for my future priv
acy, ami attending on me In it. He is
at this moment away procuring supplies
of rood.
"The deception was carried out with
a success which was doubtless due to
the very boldness of the design. The
world, stupefied in its narrow routine,
s never willing to believe In the exist
ence of anything unfamiliar to Its
everyday experience. Your young
friend, the page, of whom you have
spoken, was more ready to credit that
be hud seen a spirit than that Alexan
der III. could still be In the llesh. Your
ingenuity will, I feel sure, easily dis
cover some means of allaying any sus
picions he may have formed since.'
These words of his majesty s re
minded me that Horls was impatiently
awaiting my reappearance. I glanced
at my watch. Twelve minutes had al
ready passed.
' I must leave you now, sire,' I ex
claimed, rising hastily ,'or my comrade
will be seeking for me. Ilcst assured
that I shall not prove unworthy of the
trust you have designed to repose In
me. liut I venture to advise your maj
esty to discontinue your visits to your
son's apartments for the present.
Should you desire to lay your com
mands upon me at any time, I shall be
found nt the French embassy.'
"With these words I took a respect
ful but hurried leave of the ex-czar,
who bade me n cordial farewell.
"1 rejoined Horls Just as he was about
to set off and give the alarm, and was
siieeesful in putting a stop to any ques
tions on his part by a few judicious
words.
' ' 1 nm forbidden to tell you what I
have discovered, but 1 may tell you In
confidence that you must have mls-
tuken the son for the father.
"The young prince accepted this ex
planation readily enough, and Its ef
fect was confirmed the next day by the
Issue of mi order discontinuing the
guard In the gallery altogether. As I
have told you. all trace of the incident
utile kly disappeared from the society of
St. Petersburg. At the end of a few
weeks the unlucky page received the
lienor of a lieutenant's commission In a
retiiineiit which happened to form part
of the garrison of Vladivostock, on the
const of the Pacific. "
Ills excellency stopped, glanced at
the board nnd made the move which I
had been dreading for some time.

would stop and utter a feeble cry as if
to resist. The strong arm of the man
hurried the poor little one on. Then a
few tears could be seen finding tnelr
way down the small face. When Or
ange street was reached, the llttlo crea
ture made an outcry. A tall, slender,
and smooth-faced young man, evident
ly touched by the pathetic sight, grab
bed the old man by the arm and ex
claimed: "Whnt do you mean by having that
poor little child out on the street on a
cold night like this? It's almost freez
ing." "It's cold." the little one Interposed.
"None of your business," was the
harsh reply of the old man. He then
started to go. The young man pre
vented tills. He said:
"Stop, out with your story. I think
you stole the child."
"I wan't mamma," the little thing
cried in a burst of tears.
Hy this time a large crowd had col
lected. "I'm taking the child home." ex
plained the old man to the ever swell
ing crowd of spectators.
"Here, then, take this." said the
young man. taking a small pocket
stove from his satchel and giving it to
the child. "That will keep you warm,"
he continued.
The spectators had now become inter
ested. "What is It?" asked a bystander.
"That is the S. S. H. Smith's Safety
Stove that can bo carried in your pock
et without danger of setting fire to your
clothes. I have a few of them nero to
dispose of." said the young man, ad
dressing the very large group of sur
prised listeners. The old man and child
disappeared down the street, while the
young man did a good business In

"Are you the man who found a pock

"Well, It's mine."
"Whnt kind of a pocketbook did you
lose and w here did you lose it?" asked
the doctor.
"It was a leather pocketbook, nnd of

"I only wanted to see If It was the
one you lost." pleaded the doctor.
"Didn't I tell you so? Do you think
I'm lying about it? .If you don't give
It to me now I'll have the police got it
for me."
"Madam, If it's yours, I want you to
have it. Now, what did the one you
lost contain?"
"Let me see. There was some money,
and some receipts for making cake, and
one of my mother's for putting up
tomatoes. But it Is none of your busi
ness, any w a v. You had no right to
open my pocketbook, and read the pa
pers, even If you did find it."
The doctor was convinced that the
woman owned the pocketbook and
showed it to her.
"Is it yours?"
"Of course It's mine. How many times
do you want me to tell you so?" Then
she opened it and counted the money.
"There ought to be a dollar more."
she said. "I had a five-dollar bill
changed and only bought some little
things. 1 don't remember what, but It
didn't come to over 11.75. Well, I sup
pose one can't expect a man to be hon
est, and you can keep the dollar. I

JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL METHODS.
Within Decade the Little Empire Will
Uave the Factor System.
From Gunton's Magazine.
During the last quarter of a century
Japan has been rapidly westernising
her civilization, and is now rapidly
westernizing her methods of Industry.
At the present rate she Is progressing
it may not take more than a decade to
get the factory system, with its most
modern equipments. Although this will
be sure to act upon her laborers, rais
ing their standard and Increasing their
cost of living. It will probably take half
a century before her wages approxi
mate the wage standard of the United
States or even of England. To the ex
tent to which she Increases her factory
methods faster than she raises her
wage standard will she become a suc
cessful competitor with western pro
ducers; and will demonstrate the econo
mic soundness of protection as a per
manent principle in national statesman
ship. All the world should rejoice at
Japan's progress. Hut It will be a ca
lamity for mankind if Japan should be
permitted to destroy or even lessen the
rate of progress in this country or In
Kurope. Her advent Into the use of
modern methods should be benetielal
to her own people, and make her the
missionary to carry similar methods
and civilization into other Asiatic coun
tries, but not to Injure the civilization
of western countries.
