suninioning up an air of injured in

Mr. Dickson was standing before
the fire in a liriton s time-honored
attitude, and motioned nic into a
chair in front of him. 'Mr. liobin

"I believe," he continued, " that
you can speak Itussiau pretty llu
cntly," I bowed again.
'I have then." he proceeded, "a
mission which I wish you to under
take, and on the success of which
vour promotion may depend. I
would not trust it to a subordinate,
were it not that duty ties me to my
post at present"
"Vou may depend upon my doing

'Gregory," I said, a.s I strutted in
to the office, "I'm olf on a mission,

I was so charmed at Wing, as it
were, Ixliind the scenes, that I crept
about the office all day in a sort of a
cloak-and-bloody-dagger style, with
restxmsibilitv and brooding care
marked upon CA'cry feature ; and
when at night I stepied out and
stole down to the station, the un
predjudieed observer would certain
ly have guessed from my general be
havior, that I had emptied the con
tents of the strong-box, before start
ing, into that-little valise of Grego
ry's. It was imprudent of him, by
the way, to leave English labels past

I onlv hope that the "Ixmdons" and

j sain car, and pondered over my cx-
1 traordinary good fortune. Dickson
Somerset
was growing old now, and if I could
make my mark in this matter it
might bo a great thing for me.
Dreams arose of a partnership in
the firm. 'Die noisy wheels seemed
to clank out, '"Bailey, liobinson &
Co.,'? '-Bailey, liobinson &. Co.," i.i a
monotonous refrain, which gradual
ly sank into a hum, and finally
ceased as I dropped into a sleep.
Had I known the experience which
awaited me at the end of my jour
ney it would hardly have been 60
peacahle.
1 awoke wit:i an uneasy feeling
that some one was watching me
closely, nor was I mistaken. A tall
dark man had taken up his position
on the seat opposite, and his black
sinister yes seemed to look through
me and beyond me, as if he wished
to read my very soul. Then I saw
him glance down at mv little trunk
' Good Heavens !" thought I,
here s himpkin s agent, 1 suppose.
It was careless of Gregory to leave
those confounded labels on the va
lise. I closed my eyes for a time, but
on reopening them 1 again caught
the stranger's earnest gaze.
''From Eng'ar.d, I see," he said in
Russian, showing a row of white
teeth in what was meant to bo an
amiable smile.
"Yes," I replied, trying to look
unconcirncd, but painfully aware of
my failure.
"Traveling for jileasure, perhaps?-'
said he.
"Yes," I answered eagerly. "Cer
taily, for pleasure; nothing else."
"Of course not," said he with a
shade of irony in his voico. "Eng
lishmen always tra-el for pleasure,
don't they ? O no, nothing else."
His conduct was mysterious, to
say the least of it It was only ex
plainable upon two hypotheses he
was either a madman, or he was the
a::ent of some firm bound upon the
same errand as myself, and deter
mined to show me that ho guessed
my little game. They were about
e jually unpleasant, and, on the
whole, I was relieved when the
train pulled up in the tumble-down
shed which docs duty for a station
in the rising town of Solteff Solteff,
whose resources I was about to open
out, and wiiose commerce I was to
direct into the great world channels.
I almost expected-to seeatriumphal
arch as I stepped out to t lie- plat
form. 1 was to be expected at the end
of my journey, so Mr. Dickson had
informed me. I looked about among
the motley crowd, but saw no Mr.
Dimidolf. .Suddenly a slovenly, un
shaved man passed me rapidly, and
glanced first at me and then at my
trunk that wretched trunk, the
cause of &11 my .. woes, lie disap
peared in the crowd ; but in a little
time came strolling past me again,
and contrived to whisper as he did
so : "Follow mo, but at some dis
tance,'1 immediately setting off out
of the station and down the street
atarapitl pace. Here was a myste
ry with a vengeance ! I trotted along
in his rear with my valise, and cn
turning the corner found a rough
droschky waiting for n;e. My un
shaven friend opened the door and
stepped in.'
"Is Mr. Dim ," I was beginning.
"Hush !' he cried. "No names,
no names ; the very walls have
ears, l ou will near all to-nignt ;
and with that assurance he closed
the door, and siozing the reins, we
ilro-e 0,1' at a rapid pace ; so 'rapid,
that I saw mv black-evcd acquaint
ance of the railway carriage gazing
after us in surprise until wc were out
of sight.
I thought o'cr the whole matter
as wc jogged along in that abomina
ble springless conveyance.
"They say the nobles are tyrants
in Russia," I mused, "but it seems
to me to be the other way about, for
here's this poor Mr. Domidoff, who
evidently thinks his ex-serfs will"rise
and murder him if he raises the
price of grain in the district by ex
porting some out of it. Fancy be
ing obliged to have recourse to all
this mystery and deception in order
to sell one's own property ! Why
it's worse than an Irish landlord. It
is monstrous ! Well, he doscn't seem
to live in a very aristocratic quarter
either," I soliloquized as I gazed out
at the narrow crooked streets and
the unkempt,, dirty Muscovites
i whom wc passed. "I wish Gregory
or come one was with inc, for it's a
; rut-throat-lookmg shon. Dy Jove,
ji,e, ?iuncj Up ; we must be there !"
yVe were there to all
appearance ;
fiir tl;e drocchkv stopped,
and my
jrjvcr'g shaggy head
appeared
tjiroush the aperture.
"It is here, most honored master."
e said, as he helped me to alicht
'Ta Ifr Dimi " T rommPTireil -
but he interrupted me again.
"Anything but name3,"' he whis
pered ; "anything but that. Yon
are too used to a land that is free.
Caution, O sacred one !" and he ush
ered me down a stone-flagged pas
sage, and up a stair at the end of it.
"Sit down a few minutes in this
room," he said, opening a door, "and
a repast will be served for you ;"
and with that he left me to my own
reflections.
"Well," thought I, "whatever Mr.
Dimidoffs house may be like, his
j gcrvantg are undoubtedly well train-
td. "O sacred one V and "revered

old Dickson himself, if he's eo po
lite to the clerk 1 I suppose it
wouldn't be the thing to Bmoke in
this little crib ; but I could do a
pipe nicely. By the way, how con
foundedly like a cell it looks !"
It certainly did look like a cell.
The door was an iron one, and
enormously strong, while the single
window was closely barred. The
floor was of wood, and sounded hol
low and insecure as I strode across
it. Both floor and waJs were thick-
ly splashed with cofie or some other
, rk 1 mi i . tin the whole it was
far from being a place where one
would be likelv to become unreason
ably festive. 1 had hardly conclud
ed my survey when I heard steps
approaching down the corridor, and
the door was opened by my old
friend of the droschky. He announc
ed that my dinner was ready, and,
with many bows and apologies for
leaving me in w hat he called the
"dismissal room," he lead me down
the passage, and into a large and
ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMERSET. PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 18S1.
bcautifully furnished apartment A
tpble was spread for two in the cen
tre of it, and by the fire was stand
ing a man very little older than my
self, lie turned as I camo in, and
stepped forward to meet me with
every symptom of profound re
spect.
".So young and yet so honored 1"
he exclaimed, and then, seeming to
recollect himself, he continued :
"Fray sit at the head of the table.
You must be fatigued by your long
and arduous journey. Wedinetete
a-tete ; but the others assemble af
terward."
"Mr. Dimidoff, I presume ?w said
I-
"Xo, sir," said he, turning his
keen, gray eyes on me. My name i3
l etrokme ; you mistake me, per
haps, for one of the others. But now,
not a word of business until the
council meets. Try our chefs soup;
vou will find it excellent 1 think."
-Who Mr. Fetrokine or the others
mi'lit be I could not conceive. Land
stewards of DimidofTs, perhaps ;
though the name did not seem fa
miliar to my companion. However,
as he appeared to shun any business
questions at present, I gave into his
humor and we conversed on social
life in England a subject in which
he displayed considerable knowl
edge and acutenees. His remarks,
too, on Malthus and the laws of pop
ulation were wonderfully good,
though savoring somewhat of Radi
calism. "By the way," he remarked, as
we smoked a cigar over our wine,
"we should never have known vou
but for the English labels on your
luggacre ; it was the luckiest thing
in the world that Alexander notic
ed them. We had no personal de
scriptionof you; indeed, we were
prepared to expect a somewhat old
er man. 1 ou aro voung indeed, sir.
to be intrusted with such a mis
sion.
"Mv employer trusts me," I re
plied ; "and we have learned in our
trade that youth and shrewdness are
not incom pa table."
"Your remark is true sir," return
ed my newly made friend; "but I am
surprised to he ir j-ou call cur glori
ous associate a trade ! Such a
term is gross indeed to apply to a
body of mt-n banded together to sup
ply the world with that which it is
yearning for, but which, without
our exertions, it can never hope to
attain. A spiritual brotherhood
would be a more fitting term."
"By Jove !:: thought I, "how
pleased the bo3 would be to hear
him 1 He must have been in the
business himself, whoever he is."
"Now, sir," said Fetrokine, "the
clock points to 8, and the council
must be already sitting. -Let us go
up together, and I will introduce
you. I need scarcely Eay that the
greatest secrecy is observed, and that
your appearance is anxiously await
ed." I turned over in my mind as I
followed him how I might best ful
fil my mission and secure the most
advantageous terms. They seemed
as anxious as I was in the matter,
and there appeared to be no opposi
tion, so perhaps the best thing would
be to wait and see what they would
propose.
1 had hardly conic to this conclu
sion when my guide swung open a
large door at the end of a passage,
and I found myself in a room larg
er and even more gorgeously fitted
up than the one in which I had din
ed. A long table, covered with
green baize and strewn with papers,
ran down the middle, and round it
were sitting fourteen or fifteen men
conversing earnestly. The whole
scene reminded me forcibly of a
gambling hell I had visited some
time before.
Upon our entrance the company
rose and bowed. I could not but
remark that my companion attract
ed no attention, while every eye was
turned upon me with a strange mix
ture of surprise and almost servile
respect A man at the head of thc
table, who was remarkable for his
extreme pallor of face as contrasted
with his blue black hair and mus
tache, waved his hand to a seat be
side him, and I sat down.
"I need hardly say," said Fetro
kine, "that Gustave Berger, the Eng
lish acent, is now honoring us with
his presence. He is young indeed,
Alexis," he continued to my pale
faced neighbor, "ami yet he is of
European reputation."
"Come, draw it mild !'' thought I,
adding aloud : "If vou refer to me,
sir though I am acting as English
:!-' nt, my name is not Berger, but
liouinson .ir. tur.i juouiusuii, at,
! your service.
! A laugh ran round the tabic.

I regret that any painful duty should
be performed upon this auspicious
evening ; but the rules of our asso
ciation must be preserved at any
cost to our feelings, and a dismissal
is inevitable to-night"
"What the dueco is the fellow
driving at ?" thought 1. "What is
it to me if he docs give his servants
the sack ? This Dimidoff, wherever
he is, seems to keep a private lunatic
asvlum."
"Take out the gag !" The- words
fairly shot through me, and I start
ed in my chair. It was Fetrokine
who s-6ke. For the first time I no
ticed that a burly, stout man, sit
ting at the other end of the table,
had his arms tied behind his chair
and a handkerchief ground his
mouth. A horrible suspicion began
to creep into my heart Where was
1a1 il T 1
! I ? Was I in Mr. DimidofTs ? Who
were these men with their strange
words?
"Take out the gag 1" repeated Fel
rokine ; and the handkerchief was
removeu.
"Now, Faul Ivanovitch," he said,
"what have you to say belore you
go r
"Not a dismissal, sirs," he plead
ed, "not a dismissal ; anything but
that 1 I would go into some distant
land, and my mouth shall be closed
forever. I will do anything that
the society asks ; but pray, pray, do
not dismiss me."
'You know our laws, and you
know your crime," Baid Alexis, in a
cold harsh voice. "Who drove us
from Odessa by hi.3 false tongue and
his double face? Who wrote the
anonymous letter to the Governor ?
Who cut the wire that Iwould have
destroyed the arch-tyrant? You did,
Faul Ivanovitch : and you must
die."
I leaned back in my chair and
lairly gasped.
"Remove him 1" said Fetrokine
and the man of the droschky with
two others forced him out
I heard the footsteps pass down
the passage, and then a door open
and shut. 1 hen came a sound as
of a struggle, ended by a heavy
crunching blow and a dull thud.
bo perish all who are false to
their oath," said Alexis solemnly ;
and a hoarse "Amen'' went up from
his companions.
"Death alone can dismiss us from
our order," said another man furth
er down ; "but Mr. Berg Mr. Rob
inson is pale. The scene has been
too much for him after his lone;
journey from England."
"O Tom, Tom," thought I, "if
ever you get out of this scrape you'll
turn over a new leaf. You're not fit
to die, and that's a fact" It was
only too evident to me now that by
some strange misconception I had
got among a gang of cold-blooded
N lhihsts, who mistook mo for one of
their order. I felt, after what I had
witnessed, that my only chance of
life was to play the role thus forced
upon me until an opportunity for es
cape presented itself; so 1 tried
hard to regain my air of self-possession,
which had been so rudely
shaken.
"I am indeed fatigued," I replied,
"but I feel stronger now. Excuse
my momentary weakness."
It was but natural, said a man
with beard at my right hand. "And
now, most honored sir, how goes the
cause in England?"
"Remarkably well," I answered.
"Has the creat commissioner con
descended to send a missive to the
Solteff branch?" asked Fetrokine.
"Nothing in writting," I replied.
"But he has spoken of it?"
"Yes ; he said he had watched it
with feelings of the liveliest satisfac
tion," I returned.
" 'lis well ! 'tis well !" ran round
the table.
"I felt giddy and sick from the
critical nature of my position. Any
moment a question might be asked
which would show me in my true
colors. I roso and helped myself
from a decanter of brandy which
stood on a side table. The potent
liquor flew to my excited brain, and
as I sat down I felt reckless enough
to be half amused at my position,
and inclined to play with my tor
mentors, I still, howcvr, had all
my wits about me.
"You have been to Birmingham?"'
asked the man with the beard.
"Many times," said I.
"Then you of course have seen
the private workshop and arsenal?"
1 have been over them both
more than once."
"It i3 still, I suppose, entirely
unsuspected by the police?"' con
tinued mv intcrogator.
"Entirely," I replied.
"Can you tell us how it is that so
large a concern is kept so com
pletely secret?"
"Here was a joser, but my native
impudence and brandy seemed to
come to my aid.
l hat is information, ' 1 replied,
''which I do not feel justified in
divulging even here. In withhold
ing it I am acting under the direc
tions of the chief commissioner."
"You are right perfectly right,'
said my original friend Fetrokine.
lou will no doubt make your re-
Eort to the central office at Moscow
efore entering into such dettils."
"Exactly so," I replied, onlv too
happy to get a lift out of mydilfi-,
cultv.
"We have heard," said Alexis,
that you were sent to inspect the
Livadia. Can you give us any par
ticulars about it?"
"Anything you ask I will endeav
or to' answer," I replied m despera
tion. ''Have any orders been made m
Birmingham concerning it ?''
"None when I left England."
"Well, well, there's plenty of time
yet," said the man with the beard

"Of wood," I answered at random.
" 'Tis well !" said another voice.
"And what is the breadth of the

' It varies much, I replied ; on
an average about eighty yards."

asked an ana mic-looking youth at
the foot of the table, who seemed
more fit for a public school than
this den of murder.
"About three hundred, said I.
"A floating coffin 1" said the
young Nihilist in a sepulchnl voice.
"Are the store-rooms on a level
with or underneath the state cabins?"
asked Fetrokine.
"Underneath," said I decisively,
though I need hardly say I had not
the smallest conception.
"And now. most honored sir.

said Alexis, "tell us what

the reply of Bauer the German So
cialist to Ravinsky's proclamation."
Here was a deadlock with a ven
geance, wnetner my cunning
would have extricated me irom it or
not was never decided, for Frovi
dence hurried me from one dilem
ma into another and a worse one.
A door slammed down stairs, and
rapid foot-steps were heard ap
proaching. Then came a loud tap
outside, followed b' two smaller
ones.
"The sign of tho society !"' said
Fetrokine; "and yet wc are all pre
sent ; who can it be?"
The door was thrown open, and a
man entered, dusty and travel-stained,
but with authority and power"
stamped on every feature of his liarsh
but expressive tace. lie glanced
round the table, scanned each coun
tenance carefully. There was a stirt
of surprise in tho room. He w
evidently a stranger to them all. -
"What means this intrusion, sir ?"
said my friend with the beard.
"Intrusion !" said the stranger. "I
was given to understand that I was
expected, and had looked forward
to a warmer welcome from my fel
low associates. I am personally un

proud to think that my name should !
command some respect anions you. i
I am Gustavo Berger, the agent from
England, bearing letters iron the
chief commissioner to his well-beloved
brothers of Solteff."
One of their bombs could hardly
have created greater surprise had it
been fired in the midst of them.
Every eye was alternately on me
and the newly arrived agent.
"If you arc indeed Gustavt Ber
ger," said Fetrokine, "who is this?"
"That I am Gustave Berger these
credentials will show," said the
stranger as he threw a packet upon
the table. "Who that man may be
I know not; but if he has intruded
himself ution the lodge under false
pretenses, it is clear that he must
never carry out of the room what
he I1.13 learned. Speak, sir," he
added, addressing nr.?; ''who and
what aro you ?"
1 felt that M)T time had come.
My revolver was in my hip pocket ;
but what was that against so many
desperate men? I grasped the butt
of it, however, as a drowning man
clings to a straw, and I tried to
preserve my coolness 113 I glanced
around at the vindictive faces turned
toward me.
"Gentlemen," I said, ';tho role I
have played to-night has been
purely involuntary 011 my part. I
am no police spy, as you seem to
suspect, nor on the other hand, have
I the honor to be a member of your
association. I am tin inoffensive corn
dealer, who by an extraordinary
mistake, ha3 been forced ir.to this
unpleasant and awkward position."
I paused for a moment Was it
my fancy that there was a peculiar
noise in the street a . noise as of
many feet treading softly ? No, it
had died awav ; it was the trobbing
of my own heart.
i need hardly say, 1 continued,
that anything I mav have heard
to-night will be safe iu my keeping.
pledge mv solemn honor as a
gentleman that not one word of it
shall transpire through me.
The souses of men in great physi
cal danger become siran-jeiv acute,
or their imagination 'lays them cu-
nous tricks. My bacic was toward
the door as I sat, but I could have
sworn that I heard heavy breathing
behind it V as jl the three minions
whom I had seen before in the per
formance of their hateful functions.
and who, like vultures, had sniffed
nother victim ?
I looked around the table. Still
the same hard, cruel faces. Not
one glance of sympathy. I cocked
my revolver 111 jiiy pocket.
lherti was a painful silence, which
was broken by the harsh, gratinj
voice of Fetrokine. - -.
"Froinii-es are easily made and
easily broken," he said. '"There is
'ut one way of securing eternal si
lence. It is our lives or yours. Lit
the highest among us speak."
lou are right, sir, said the Eng-
li.h agent; "there is but one course

open, ile must he dismissed.'
I knew what thai meant in tneir
confounded jargon, and sprang to
mv feet.
"By Heaven ,'" I shouted, putting
my back to the door, "you shan't
butcher a free Englishman like a
sheep! The first among you who
stirs, drops."
A man sprang at me. 1 saw

I pulled the trigger, and with his
hoarse scream sounding in mv cars.
I was felled to the ground by a
crashing blow from behind. Half
unconscious and pressed down bv
some heavy weight, 1 heard the
noi.se of shouts and blows above me
and then I fainted away.

soldiers. Beside me wa.s the corpse
of the ill-fated English agent, the
whole face blown 111 by the lorce of
the explosion. Alexis and Fetro
kine were both lying on the floor
like myself, bleeding profusely.
W ell, voung fellow, vou ve had a
narrow escape," said a hearty voice
in my ear.
I looked up and recognized my
blaekeyed acquaintance of the rail
way carriage.
"Stand up," he continued; "you're
only a bit stunned: no bonis brok
en. It's no wonder 1 mistook you
for the Nihilist agent, when the very
lodge itself was taken in. Well,
you're the only stranger who ever

walked toward too doer ot the

he cried, as 1 walked toward the
door of the cell into which I had
been originally ushered. "Keep out
of that; you've seen evil sights
enough for one day. Come down
and have a glass of liquor."
He explained as we walked back
to the hotel that the iiolice of Solteff
of which ho was the chief, had had
warning and been on the lookout
some time for this Nihilistic emmis
sary. My arrival in so unfrequent
ed a place, coupled with my air of
secrecy and the English tattles on
that confounded portmanteau of

either transported to Siberia or cx
ecutcd. My mission was performed
to the satisfaction ot my employers.

ness has won me promotion, and
