A TERRIBLE SITUATION. TIIE palace of the governor of Tomsk was brilliantly lighted, ami carriages crowded the plaza before it. Gayly uni formed officers aiul fashionably attired ladies passed from them into the spa cious rooms. The governor himself was at his best and was proud of the beautiful relative for whom he had given this suddenly arranged recep tion. Princess Olga, who had slept much of the day after her wearying experi ences of the night before, showed no effects of her exhaustion, but received the guests witli that calmness, that queenly style, which was all her own. The garrison band blared its Russian music, and the atmosphere in the rooms was laden with perfume. It was a strange and motley gathering, but ol ga. w ho had traveled much in strange places, as well as in centers of civiliza tion, looked upon tlie crowd with com placency. A colonel of cavalry, with his hand some wife, when they came to greet her was followed by a Cossack chief clad in the barbaric splendor of his j rank. A Maueliuriau mandarin, with ; a long sword on one side and a short one on the other, wearing his native dress, marched with the crowd, a dis tinctive figure. He had come to Tomsk to confer for his government with Ne slerov concerning the crossing of the border into Manchuria. The new rail way brought to Tomsk mighty men from places never before heard of by many who lived in Tomsk. A Persian prince who had but the day before arrived front Tobolsk, where he had spent a week studying the convict system- a system impossi ble to his country -added his gorgcous ness to the throng. If Olga was surprised that at so short a notice so great a gathering could be summoned iu that Siberian capital, she gave no sign. She accepted the homage as one who was born to it. Young officers vied with one another to be near her. Grizzled veterans looked at her and smiled, for it made theui glad to see so lovely a princess at Tomsk. By far tlie most distin guished looking man in the throng was the colonel of cavalry, whose wife l»ad long been a semi-invalid. He found time to devote some attention to tlie princess while his wife rested from the weariness the excitement brought upon her. Olga, whose travels had given her a clear insight to human character, singled Colonel Barakoft out at once as a man of sterling integrity and a fearless soldier. To him she was ex tremely gracious, and encouraged him to talk, and he was proud of her at tention. When the dancing began, the crowd scattered through the palace, ami it was not long before Colonel Barakoff and Olga found themselves sitting in a retired spot with the colonel's wife. "It is the first time in my experi ence," said the colonel, "and that has not been a short one, that oue of our ncble ladies has condescended to visit our capital. And now one of the pow erful house of Neslerov is here. It causes wonder that she would forsake the pleasures and gayeties of St. Petersburg for tlds dismal place." "I have seen enough of St. Peters burg gayeties to last for a time,*' an swered olga. "My life is not all spent in pleasure. 1 am not yet your age, colonel, but I have learned that to be happy and to be contented with one self oue must find some work to do, and do it well." "You are very young," said the colonel slowly, "and very wealthy to have found that out. I, of course, learned it long ago, but my age is three times yours. You say you have found pleasure in work. Would it be pre sumptuous to ask what work has found favor in your eyes?" "Presumptuous? Not at all, colonel. I am always pleased to talk with one who is able to appreciate it. I have become thoroughly convinced that there are faults in our social system. 1 am neither :t nihilist nor a socialist, but I do think that the wealthy nobles of Russia are not doing their full duty to those who, it is true, are dependent upon them, but upon whom also they are dependent." "It is a bold stand for a young wom an to take. Men have been sent to Si beria for those sentiments." "And the sentiment sent me to Sibe ria, but not under sentence. I have come partly to visit the governor, who is a relative, and, more than that, to study the convict system as worked out under Ids rule in Tomsk." The colonel became cautious. "You will find plenty to study," he answered, "but I fancy you will not proceed rapidly. Our system—well, it Is the same, I suppose, as that in vogue nt Tobolsk." "Perhaps it will prove so. I am ac quainted with Count de Muloff, govern or general, and I know that, while he is a stern man, he is just. When he can be merciful without lending an apparent aid t<» tlie unworthy, he does not hesitate to show leniency. I hope I shall find toe same spirit prevailing here." The colonel smiled grimly. "Shall you. then, write a book upon the penal system?" "1 may do so, although that is not yet one of my plans. I may tell you in confidence, however, that I have the entire confidence of the czar and that he is interested in the outcome of my studies." "In my youthful days we did not hear of such filings," said the colonel. "A young woman who at your age and with your wealth and position took j upon herself so great a task would be i sent forthwith to a lonely castle and ; kept a semiprisoner." "I fear that some of that same spirit : dominates our society today." "I think it will prevail for a time." "Where would you advise me togo to | study the convict system at its worst?" "Its worst? Do you not wish to see It at its best?" "I understand it at its best." "Well, it is a serious matter to ad vise, yet if you are working under the protection of the czar we must help you. I should say Tivoloffsky." "1 shall go there. Where are your prisons?" The colonel rubbed his grizzled nius la die. "We have guardhouses hi all settle ments." "Dungeons?" "Not many dungeon-.. There are dungeons under this very palace, out ' they are obsolete. 1 do not think they i have been used in years." "Then they could be inspected." "I see no reason why they should not. But that would be for the governor to say. Khali I ask him?" "No; since they are under his palace I shall have an opportunity later. I suppose they are entered by way of a secret door." "There was a door at the end of the police offices," replied the colonel. "Of course, being a soldier, 1 know scarcely anything about them. They are wholly !n charge of the police." "But you formerly had no police in .Siberia save the Cossack guards." "True, but I was not at Tomsk then. I came here from Tobolsk." Olga spoke then to the colonel's wife, ? and the subject of the dungeons did not recur. Neslerov came and presented a young officer, a member of a noble family, and he asked olga for a waltz. She thank ed the colonel, and they did not meet again. The dancing continued till a very late hour, after which there was a supper served with the true Russian prodigality, olga was becoming weary, but she maintained her usual spirits. She chanced to pass near the governor and heard a young officer speaking. "Lieutenant Deruisky Is not present. Whom will you name as the lieutenant of the palate guard?" "NOIK will be necessary," answered Neslerov. "lizig will be at his post. As it is nearly morning, no more will be necessary. Dismiss the guard, take them to the bauqui 112 hall and give them supper." Soon after that Olga found occasion to cross the hall to the offices of police. People were passing to ami fro, and no one could think it strange that the princess went where she pleasi d. She found at the end of the suit of rooms devoted to police affairs a small apart ment. the door of which was closed. Turning, to see that Neslerov was not in the hall—she did not care for the guests—she entered. Sitting there in lonely state was a man. lie was not particular!) agrci abic looking and seemed to of a stupid order. "Are you not being feasted with the others?" asked the princess. "No; they forget p >or Ilzig." was the reply. "What is your duty here?" "To guard the door to the passage yonder. Stupid! No one could enter. The key never Icavi s the pocket of the superintendent of police." .Tansky had been constant in ids at tendance at the bottle and already showed the effect of his heavy pota tions. "You shall not be overlooked," said Olga. "I will send you some refresh ments." She first went to her room and return ed to the banquet hall. She ordered one of the servants to open a fresh bottle of wine, wli ,}\ ♦as ■! '.e. Then a tray was preparnl. and she ordered it tab n to Itzlg. Quickly, without a second's delay, a sf>.>.• 11 vial in her hand was emptiid into tit;- wiin . "Take this also," she said. When she returned to the throng, the guests W' 'caving. They came in throiig- : i,. bit! her adieu, and she suw the last one leave. Jansky, Neslerov aud the servants were left. "I am exhausted,'' said Neslerov. "I feel completely worn out. And you. cousin, must be weary also." "I am," she answered. "I shall not be long get trig to sleep." "Nor 1.1 hope you enjoyed your ball." "Very much. 1 thank you for the kind attention. And now good night." "Good night." "I'm going, but 1 shall first make a round of inspection," said Jansky. | "There being no guard this morning, j it will do no harm. It will not be day light for two hours." They parted, and Olga went to her! room, but not to sleep. Thercsc was asleep in a chair, waiting for her mis j tress. "Therese!" said Olga. "Oh, pardon me! I was asleep!" said Therese, starting up. "Hush! I do not wish any one to hear us. I have work for us both to i do." "I am ready. Command me, prin cess." "I know, faithful Therese, but this is work that will require all your nerve. Listen. The ball is over and s the- guests have gone. Chance has fa vored us tonight. It has enabled me to plot and plan for what we are to do. Neslerov dismissed the guard, and there will be in a short lime no one awake in the palace. The superintend ent of police carries the key to the dun geons, and he is now half drunk. The door to the dungeons is guarded by a I stupid fool named Itzig. I found him at his post, and sent him a bottle of wine and tray of food. Into the wine I poured that vial of toothache medi cine 1 obtained from you. It is enough to make any one sleep for hours. Where Jansky sleeps 1 do not know; but we must find him. We must wait —it is too soon—but in half an hour it will ' e safe to descend. Jansky said i> wo .d not be daylight for two hours, 'jit will give us an hour and a half to work." "And that work?" "To release the American and Vladi mir from the dungeons and send them to old Paulpoff to get him to safety, lie must not be harmed, for we want j his testimony." "Good!" said Therese, with a shiver. "It is grand—but dangerous." olga opened a traveling bag and took therefrom a silver mounted revolver. "I do not wish to kill," she said; j "but if we are discovered there will be ! trouble, and I must succeed. Come tow, for the honor of the Neslerovs i and the house of Graslov!" The princess opened her door and peered info the corridor. The lights wire still burning as brightly as dur ing the ball, but no one was in sight. "Come all is silent as the grave," she said. "Even if we meet some one, It will not cause suspicion." She led flie way, and Therese, shiver ing with (error, followed. The great stairway a ! hall were deserted, but from ti I'!tie guardroom at the end of the | • quarters there came the sound ii' en. s. "Stupid blockhead!" said the voice of Jansky. "Drunk! Who brought ldm (his bottle of wine?" With a quick motion Olga whisked Therese into the same rootn where she had crouched to listen to Jansky and I":: th> ; There came the sound of , unsteady footsteps. Jansky, with the unfinished bottle of Itzig's wine in his hand, went drunkeuly to his office. "I'll finish this—then goto bed," lie muttered. He finished It, and it finished him. It was not ten minutes before his own eyes closed in that terrible sleep from which he could not arouse himself until flic effect of the drug hail passed off. "Come!" said Olga. Nervously and qui' My she rifled tho sleeping man's pockets and found a bunch of keys. Swiftly, then, these two rushed to Itzig's room aud, shut- , tint; fhe door, barred it on the inside. j "Now \v> . in work without molesta tion," said ;-lga. She tried - vcral keys in the lock of an iron door t'. it lorna d part of the rear wall, but without -ucccs•. i'i nally she 112 un ! one that turned the rusty bolt i I the d »>r swung open. This door hi Im-• i small passage, in which thei• ere \ari us arti -1 • lan terns, w! 'ln - a 1 weapons, olga quickly < a la!• torn which showed it had been ret : ib used and lighted it. At the end of the passage was an iron grating formi: 1 door, a d this, to 4 Beyond vas a 11 t of one ' steps loaihiig <: wow.: and then all was darkness. Olga, holding the lantern al>. her hi id, led the way down thi slip The stones were cold and damp and slippery as she nearod the bottom. Hie dark atmosphere scat a chill through her. but the brave girl did not falter. Therese came creeping after her. shivering with fear. They did not count the number of steps, but knew there were many. At last they stood on a cold stone floor. "Now, which way?" she asked, hold ing the lantern to Hash its light as far as poss 'do around her She could see that they were in a large chamber from which various passagi s l rokc away in every direction. "We mu t not linger—to lose time would be to lose the game," she said. "Choose this pas-age and follow it to the end." She turned into the neari st passage, and the gl- mis of tho lantern were re flected from slippery walls. As she walked she examined these walls for doors. There were arches that led to i other passages and smaller ones that opened into chambers that had evi dently been once used for prison cells, for chains were hanging on the walls. The lantern in Olga's hand flashed its light into evt ry nook and cranny until at last she reached tho end of that passage. Making sure Therese was close behind, she tunic:! her steps into another passage, running apparently at right angles with the other. This she traversed in the same way tintil the very bigness of the place and its silence began to awe her. The first enrage that had led her to the despera. ■ act gradually gave way to the awful ;.T.:oin and mystery of tho place. But in i.s stead there came a determination not to relinquish the search until she had found the unfortu nate victims of Neslerov's bate or prov ed that they were : t there. She walk ed on, gradu illy increasing her pace. A door at last greeted her vi. ion- a real door that swung en hinges. "At last, perhaps," she said. She tried her siren: th against the door, and, though i wn not locked, yet she could uot open it sufficiently to enter. "Therese, help me," she said, setting the lantern down upon the floor. The two placed their shoulders against tfie door and pushed, and it suddenly opened. Tlicrcse was precipitated heart long into the chamber. A rush of foul air almost stilled olga. There was a peculiar sound, a- if Therese had fall en upon alnap of something. She was whimpering in her terror. Olga seized the lanb rn and dashed into the chamber. A cry of horror es caped her. She was in what seemed to be an old tomb. At least, there were heaps of bones scattered about, and into one of these poor Therese had pitched headlong. olga swung the lantern and, near to the spot where Therese lay, two skele tons hung in chains. One had lost its head, but the other, by reason of being fastened in a peculiar way, had retain ed its grim.vig top piece. Therese wa.s in a dead faint. Olga was now iu a terrible difficulty. She knelt by the side of TI crcse. "Oh," she said, "if I had but some water! She will never recover in this place." Setting the lantern down, she dragged the woman from the place of horrors and laid her down on the cold floor of the passage. Then she swung the door shut. Again she began working over The rese. Olga saw that she was suffering a severe nervous shock, and the only hope of restoration of her senses was immediate removal from the place. Swinging her lantern upon her arm, she seized hold of Therese and began dragging her along the passage, going backward in order to exert a greater pull on the unconscious woman. In some way- she never knew how she lost her bearings and came sud denly against a great stone pillar which stood in the center of a sort of court, from which passages ran like the spokes of a wheel. For a moment she stood there-half unwilling to believe the truth. Then, as flic horrible fact was borne in upon her. she let the shoulders of Therese lie neglected on the floor while she stared helplessly around her. She could not discover the oue through which she had come. She was lost! CHAPTER XIV. OfT Of THE CHAIN'S. TIIE horror of the situation was so great that Princess Olga's brain could uot accept it all at once. Not only was she lost, but there was a certainty that if she was rescued she would also be discovered in this act against the rule of Neslerov. Powerful as was her family, she was now abso lutely at the mercy of the governor of Tomsk, whom she knew to be merci less. Who could ever know that Prin cess Olga. the rich and beautiful Nesle rov, died in the dungeons under her cousin's palace? To her vivid imagination already fhe horrors of starvation loomed up. To lie in that cold, dark place and suffer and slowly waste away, to lose her mind, to rave in madness—all these thoughts burned into her brain. Then, looking at poor Therese, the girl's heart was stirred with pity. "1 am not only a suicide, but I am a murderer a well," she said. "I should not have induced Therese to come." Therese stirred. "Ah, Therese! Good Therese! Speak to me, will you not?" pleaded the prin cess. "Von should not have come. It was horrible, that den! And perhaps 1 brought you lure to die." "I don't want to die!" exclaimed Therese, silting upright as though the word had : ted like an electric shock. "I do ti.it w: h to die cither; but we are '■ l.i re-e." "Losi! llow can we be lost? Are we not im lei - e palace?" "Yes. v • ai ■ under the palace, but we are m vert In less lost. 1 have lost the way. See all these passages? 1 do not Iu: w by which one we reached this terrible [dace." "We seem to be almost at the center. They cannot all lead to the stairs." "No, certainly not.

"You mi '' Sou shall not!" ex rlalined Tin . made stronger now j , by the evident need of some one to as sist the princess She did not think so | much <if herself as she did of Olga. "There m.;st be a way out and close at hand." said Olga. The terrible silence acted upon the shaken nerves of poor Thercse, and t-Le be.tan tu scream hysterically. "I will not die!

"I think 1 heard i: voice." "A voice! 1 heard a thousand of them—and they are all my own." "No. hut this was not. It was a man's voice. Wait till I call." The caverns were still. "Is there any one here?" rang out Olga's clear voice. "We are lost in the passages two women. Is there any one here?" "Here, here, here!" came hack the cv-noes. "I am here a prisoner!" came an an swering cry. "Here prisoner -isoner!" came the felloes. "Where are you?" called Olga.
