Therese was sitting in a chair, her , face white and drawn, and in her eyes was a bewildered look. "It was not so much what 1 heard, princess, as what 1 knew and suspect- \ ed," she answered. "I know what you know. I suspect what you suspect. Tell me what you heard." she said sternly. "it was in the serfs' hall," she said In reply to the princess. "1 was eat ing; no one seemed to ask who I was, aud they talked as servants do. Vladi mir Paulpoff is in danger of his life." Princess Olga gave a start, but re covered her composure. "Goon," she said. "Tell me all." "It seems there is an American—l do not remember what they called lilm— but he is an American who builds bridges over the rivers for tlie new railway. He knows Vladimir Paulpoff. He is also a friend of that American girl—you remember—we met at the fair in Moscow?" "Frances Gordon? I remember her. She gave liberally to the charities. Well?" "It would seem from what I heard that tlie governor is in love with her, and that she rejected him. These things are well known among the serv ants. It seems the American and Ne slerov had a tight and Neslerov was Injured." "He told me he fell from a horse. Goon." "It is believed among the servants that Vladimir is also in love with the American girl and that she is in love with him. And the American—l don't know—but he may be in love with her also." "Three lovers! She is fortunate—no, t would say most unfortunate. With sue true and honorable lover any wo man is fortunate, but with three—and one like Neslerov! It is too much." "You do not seem to suspect where * the picture came from." "Do you mean the oil painting of my cousin, the Princess Alexandra?" "I mean it. You say it hangs on the wall of Neslerov's room. It is undoubt edly the one painted by Vladimir." "And when Vladimir and his parents were sent to Siberia Neslerov took the painting? - ' "Yes. Vladimir is talented, as you know—at least as I have told you." "Then Vladimir must be near this place." Therese shuddered again. "He is—he is in the dungeons under this palace," she whispered in terror. A sudden change came over the prin ' cess. She walked in agitation to and fro across the room. "Then Neslerov must suspect that Vladimir holds the key to the mystery of Graslov," she said, stopping again before Therese. "I do not know what he thinks. The American also is here under a charge of conspiring against the czar." "Oh. then it becomes clearer. These Americans are shrewd. This one, per haps, in order to gratify his love of truth, has set himself the task of dis covering the truth about Graslov." "Who knows?" asked Therese. "But how would he know anything about the mystery of Graslov?" "True, but you say Vladimir and the American girl are in love. Vladimir may have discovered something and old the girl. She may have told the American, who may not be a lover, but i friend. She may have enlisted his efforts in the task of unraveling the nystery." "It is possible." "What else did you hear?" "Nothing; that is all. The American vas arrested as he was about to leave or Perm. Vladimir was brought from 'ivoloffsky, a small village near here." "By the orders of Neslerov?" "It must be. since they are in the ungeons of his palace." "And that is all you heard?" "All—everything." "It Is enough to place ine upon the ght scent. You must not, however, ■ve way to these tits of uuconseious 'ss. Be stronger, be brave." "It Is all very well, princess; but If iu had lived for twenty years with e horror of that crime overshadow g you, with a constant fear of the Si jrian mines weighing upon you, you ould not be calm." "Poor woman! I appreciate your elings In the matter. But try to main- In your composure, for one mistake iw, the slightest suspicion on the part Neslerov, may destroy tlie efforts we ve made during the last two years." 'Six months, princess." 'For you, since your husband died. 1 ve been working upon this mystery ice I returned from Paris two years o. If God spares my life, I will ange the crime that was committed linst our branch of the Neslerovs." 'hat evening the princess met Nesle in the dining room with no show of otion.

An ob . server might easily have supposed she I had gone to sleep P.ut suddenly the i glare of the lights from the ballroom J died away, and the princess rose to her feet. j "It is finished," she said, "and they (are weary. Tomorrow night will be a severe one, and they will retire at once. Some one must be on guard— and gold is powerful. Tonight 1 must learn something." Still she waited and soon all wan silent in the palace. "I wonder if Neslerov is asleep," she said. "Neslerov! I could almost hate the name, though it is my own. How so cruel and hearth ss a man became a member oi our family I cannot con ceive. Even though the relationship is remote, some consinships removed, I believe, yet I regret that any should exist. No--not now 1 am glad; for were he not sufficient relation to war rant my presence in his detestable palace I could not have this oppor tunity to learn the truth. Oh, Ne slerov! Vengeance will be mine—and it will be sweet." She had incased her feet in light Pa risian slippers, and in these she step ped noiselessly from the room. The great bare corridor was dimly lighted and no person could be seen. While caution was necessary, it was not because Olga feared. She was too powerful herself to fear injury in the palace of Neslerov. If the governor suspected the purpose of her \ i.-it, she would be no longer welcome, and the solution she had so long sought would be delayed. Silently she crept down the great winding stairs into the main hall. This was a wide, high apartment, and from it opened many doors into other apart ments. On one side were the offices of the government of the province, on the other the living rooms of the govern or's household. The doors upon the left, leading to the reception room, the governor's room, the great ballroom and the din ing room, were closed. Two of those oil the right were open. 11l one room there was a light, and from it came the subdued voices of two men and the odor of tobacco. The other room was dark. The princess remembered those rooms. She had seen them in her in spection of the palace. That from which came the voices and in which a light was burning was the office of the superintendent of police. The one next to it was a smaller room, connected with the other by a door, which was locked. This small room had been in tended for an office, but was now used for the purpose of storing books, rec ords, police material and desks. It was uart of the suit allotted to the superin tendent of police. Olga stood in the hall and listened. She heard the name of Paulpoff. With a fluttering heart she darted into the darkened room and took up her posi tion near the closed door between that and the office. The two speakers sat near that door, with a round table between tlieni. and upon the table was a supply of liquor and cigars. Tlie work of preparing the palace for the festivities on the following night did not conic under the supervision of the police, but all connected with the palace were interested, and these two were the last to retire. The speakers in tluit other room were Jansky, superintendent of police, and Inspector Unsgethop. "The whole thing is a complete mys tery to me," said Unsgethop, speaking somewhat thickly, having drunk con siderable liquor. "It is a mystery. First we receive one command, then another, and we do not know what to do. The governor is not wont to act thus." "You are not the first to have felt the influence of this great mystery," said Jansky. "The governor is dis creet." "Oh, I said a complete mystery. 1 would not call it a great mystery. That would bring it to the dignity of a cele brated case." "So it Is. It Is one of the moft cele brated cases in all Russia." "That is too much! One of the most cole! rated cases in all ltussia, and they have not been in the dungeons more tl an three days! The matter could scarcely have gone beyond Tomsk." "Nevertheless I spoke truly." "Then there is something about it 1 do not know. When 1 reflect, it seems of course that this must be the case. ! "It 1x a mystery. I'irnt wi receive one command, (lien another." • Else why should we receive secret or iel's to capture—arrest, if you I.he an American and a convict already punish ed and—well, see that they become lost to the world?" Princess Olga gave a gasp as she heard this. "There is one thing about it," said Unsgethop, who was now getting drunk enough to be independent and indis creet, "if something is not done soon I shall wash my hands of it. I don't like the looks of it. Of course, one might kill a blacksmith convict and no Inquiry would be made, but that Amer ican—that is different." "Keep quiet for a few days. Have you not seen that the governor has u ffcuest?" "Yo<4, a beautiful one." i "That IS Princess Otga fit flic' and powerful Neslorovs. She is dis km bil-n t-iu'l 'ivil oi -i/iiii tantly related to the governor.

A year or, so after this imppy marriage a son was born to this couple. He was named Alexis, after his father, lie was a tine young fellow, so I have heard, and grew sturdily. When he was a year old, or perhaps two, Prince Alexis died. Now, it so happened that the old Duke of Graslov, who was still living, had had a quarrel with Princess Alexandra. Iler branch of the family was not friendly to his, and things did not go right, and they quarreled, .lust what tluit had to do with the story I do not know, but I am telling you what everybody in Perm knew at that time. "At that time Prince Nicholas, now governor of Tomsk, was fifteen years of age, and was I lie favorite of his father. Ii was commonly reported that the duke preferred to see his younger son inherit the title and estate rather than have it >ro to the son of the prin cess. Anyway, one day, twenty years ago. the young prince, then about three years old. < r perhaps less, was drowned in the Kama. At least that is what was said. The boy wandered away from his nurse and walked to the river. Some of his garments were found on the river bank, and it would seem as though the little fellow had intended to follow the example of the boys of thi st rfs he had seen and was going to take a river bath. However, the body was never found and the pool' prineos was broken hearted. In a year she. too, died, and at the time her branch of the Neslerovs charged foul play, ii was openly said they ac cused the old tit ke and Prince Nicho las of having murdered her. It was not proved and was not tri(d. The two brunches remain< ' at feud. The old duke died and l'i ace Nicholas entered into his inheritance, but he has not used the title, probably out of con sideration for tin feelings of his rela tives. "Now we come down to the present day. It was openly charged by some of the other Neslerovs that the serv ants of the house of Graslov were in volved. and ii was thought at one time that certain others not of the house hold knew something. Among these was the family of an ironworker, Michael Pau.polf, eoiisisiing of himself, his wife and a child. Hut the Paul poffs disclaimed all knowledge, and were so stupid and innocent looking that the} were dropped from consid eration. Put it seems that an enmity ha- long existed in their obscure minds against the governor, and they have been secretly working to fasten the murder of Princess Alexandra upon him. Whether they knew anything at the time or whether some one dying told them. 1 do not know. Certain it is that they have some knowledge they will use against our governor. They W( re sent to Siberia and were unable to work at the mystery. Put this ac cursed American came and was inter ested. He swore he would fasten this murder upon Neslerov because Ne slerov had loved that American girl, daughter of Cordon, the engineer. Now you see why the American, Hen ton, and the powerful young black smith were arrested, and why, even though in the dungeons, nothing more can be done until this princess leaves. Neslerov declares he is innocent, but the power and intlucnee of her family, if joined with the efforts of the Ameri can and the I'aulpoffs, might destroy him. Am I understood?" "Yes, perfectly. Neslerov is ours, and we arc his. We must be loyal. Let tlie prisoners n :...lin in the dungeons until we are free to act. Then —well, even now we might forget to send them food." "That, Pnsgethop, is the very idea. The princes*, will dance merrily upon this floor while they starve to death on the one below." The two police officers chuckled, anil Olga, having learned enough, crept back to her room. She was passing through the upper corridor when she was startled by a shadow as of a man. A young oilic r in command of the palace guard was making his rounds, lie stopped short when he saw the prin cess; then, discreet as all young officers about the palace were, he saluted and was about to pass on. She stopped him. "Lieutenant," she said, "this is my room. I wish to speak to you alone." He hesitated. He knew that she was the Princess (Uga. He knew she would not seek his presence for pleasure. He feared the displeasure of Neslerov, but the winning i canty of Olga conquered, and he slipped into her room. "What is your name';" she asked, her manner turn 'g at once to that of the stern woman of business. "Michael I'inisky, princess." "Your position?" "Lieutenant of the guard." "How would you like to be a major of cavalry V" "Major of cavalry! Such a promotion nt my age from a lieutenant?" "It is possible even more is possible. Put you must obey me." "You are the Princess Olga, but I must obey the governor of Tomsk." "Wait," she said, and from a secret receptacle she took a folded paper upon which were a few words and a great seal. She held it for him to read. Lie dropped to his knees. "The seal of his majesty the czar!" he said in an awcstricken voice. "I obey—command me—l obey." "Rise. When will you bo relieved?" "Soon." "Come to me and say nothing to any one." "I obey; I will be dumb." Quickly, I bough she was weary, Olga sat down and wrote a letter. It was scarcely inoii than finished when the officer returned. "Is there not a train to Tobolsk this morning?" "There is. The train your highness came on returns today." "Take this letter to Tobolsk. (Jive it Into 110 other hand but that of Count do Muloff, governor general of western Siberia. Ho you understand?" "I do. And if the governor should"— "Remain at Tobolsk. 1 have arrang ed for that in the left -r. You need never fear the present governor of Tomsk." lie bowed, placed the letter in his bosom and retired. With a sigh of weariness ami of relief the princess threw hers* Ii upon her bed and was soon asleep. ft* r* fifty.! ..ill ~'.33JUH JVOtJ ;iN [FLAT JjOOTEP, FQR FREE TRADE Ttie Pntty of RofceVt E.

D., LL. 8.. the Cele brated Chicago Specialist, Will Send $2.50 Worth of His New Special Treatment Free to Each of Our Readers. When un experienced physician offers to give away $40,000 worth of a New Treatment for diseases of the heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu sive evidence that he has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prominent people freely testify to his unnsual skill and the superiority of his New Special Treatment, his liberality is certainly of serious consideration. That Dr. Miles is one of the world's most snccnssfnl physicians is proven by hundreds of testimonials from well known people. One patient cured after failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi cians, two after being given up by six and seven Chicago physicians, another after nine leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials sent upon request. The eminent Rev. \V. Bell, 1), 1)., <>f Dayton, 0., Gen. Sec y of Foreign Mis siuns, writes editorially in The State Sunday School Union: "We desire to state that from personal acquaintance we know Dr. Miles to be a most skillful specialist a man who has spared neither labor nor money to keep himself a breast of the great advancement in medical science." Col. Tucker, late General Manager N- V., L. E. &W. R. R. says: "Dr. Miles' success as a physician has been pheno. minal." "My heart," writes D. M. Davis, of Warren. Pa., was so bad I was fearful of going to sleep lest it would be my last. Dr. Miles saved my life. I was completely cured in six weeks." Mrs, Abigail Chambers of Chambersburg. Pa., states: "My trouble was in the brain and spinal cord. When I com menced Dr. Miles' treatment I could hardly walk across the room: now I am able to do all my own work. Mrs. W. A. Warren, of Jamestown, N. Y., re ports: "For years I had severe trouble with my stomach, neuralgia, sinking spells, and dropsy. Dr. Miles cured me.'' This new system of Special Treat ment is thoroughly scientific and im mensely superior to the ordinary meth ods. As all afflicted readers may have $2.50 worth of treatment free, we would ad vise them to send for it at once. Ad dress, Dr. Franklin Miles, 203 to 211 State Street, Chicago, 111.
