Tell me."
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

jrian mines weighing upon you, you
ould not be calm."
"Poor woman! I appreciate your

in the dining room with no show of

1 her wit as sharp as ever.

•~~Yhb princess sat with scarcely n mo
tion for more than two hours. 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. And,
since you- are iui< rested, I will tell you

" Xejjler/o.Vk was Duke of Graslov. 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

"I do. And if the governor should"—
"Remain at Tobolsk. 1 have arrang

Journal:

or "tariif for rev- nue only;" : -ciprocity
is si '.iy declared to be "a sham and a
hai'.-bug," while of free trade it is said
that, it • would open our own markets
to benefit our own <ountry. It is as
serted that "the greatest good to the
greatest number requires that there be
no barriers in trade in order that goods
may be as chap as possible and the
cost of living be reduced to a mini
mum."
That "goods as cheap as possible"
would mean wages as low as po. ib'e,
that the opening of our markets to all
the products of foreign cheap labor
would mean destruction to our indus
tries, and that the reduction of the cost
of living to a minimum would result in
depriving thousands of Amerii an work
ingmen of c\ .11 the minimum required
to defray the cost, are facts which the
Democratic text books ignores; but
which the American people have in
their minds.
The Democratic congressional com
mittee is entitled to such credit as ia
due for frankness. While it proposes
the destruction of our prosperity wnich
has developed under the Republican
policy of protection for home indus
tries, the pauperization of American
labor, the ruin of American capital,
the enrichment of foreign nations at
the expense of the United States, the
retrogression of this nation to the con
dition nf a debtor nation, it states its
proposition without circumlocution in
tend* d to befog the minds of the peo
ple as to the real purpose of the Demo

lition of the tariff, admission of all
foreign products to free competition
with American products—that is tho
proposition which is squarely set be
fore the people of the t'nited States.
American thought wiil instantly re

tated by the election of Mr. Cleveland
in IMC, when nothing nearly so radical
was propos" d and when the tariff law
soon thereafter ena< ted by the Demo
cratic congress, the so-called Wilson
law. was after all, though it made a
redvi tion of the duty on many imports,
as a whole a protective measure.
The Democratic declaration for free
trade, absolute free-trade, will make
the question wheuicr this country will

Franklin Miles, M. 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

In which chess is most frequently

Noisy Fifth.
Many li.-lt can produce musical
sounds. The red gurnard has earned
the name of seacock from the crowing
noise which it makes, while another
species is called the piper. < Hhers, not

Sound producing apparatus, consisting
of small movable bones, which can be
made to produce a sharp rattle. The

The Oldest llriti«li Game,
In one form or another football, the
oldest British game, has existed for
| centuries. Some see it in the game
i "harpaston," played by the Urceks. the
name of which, they say, by deriva
tion, suggests that the ball be
seized and carried into goal. No trace
<>f the game, as now understood, is
found out side of Itritnin, but iu Eng
land it has flourished for centuries.
Shrove Tuesday, in olden times, was
! the great annual football day, who.
; the fll ?t was fast and furious, shops
and houses being closed for fear of
. damage and both sexes and all ages
taking part.
rilzstej en in his "History of Lon
don, 1175," t 1 Kcs the earliest mention
of the game in England. He tells us
of young men ot the city annually go
ing into the fields after dinner to play
at the well known game of ball on
Shrove Tuesday. Traditions of Chester
and Derby bear this out, where it was
long the custom to do the same, Ches
: ter's first ball being the head of a
! Dane. —Pearson's Week Iv.

The seas around the coast of the Brit
ish isles are mostly narrow. The great
est width of the English channel is be
tween Portland Bill and St. Malo, 140
miles. It narrows to 20Vi miles at one
point in the strait of Dover. The dis
tance between (ifeat Britain and Ire
land is even less. Tor Head is only
twelve miles from the nearest point of
the Mull of Cant ire. Between Carn
sore Point and St. David's Head, in
Wales, forty-seven miles is the least
