TJIK LOST MAIL HAUS
' It wns evening In Vlutlivotitok. (hit
on the harbor the tlnrk waters of the en
of Japan reflecteil the twinkling lights;
from lmlf a dozen vessels lying smtKly
at anchor, and westward Ix-liinil the
town the moon shone dimly on the
snowclml pining and niggc! slopes of
the Sikota mountains, beyond which,
across the frozen waters of the Amur,
stretched for thousands of leagues the
great Siberinn desert. Vladivostok
might almost lie called the "jumping
off place" of tho world, lying ns it does
on the very eastern extremity of tho
great Russian empire.
,-' A few years ago It was a barren spit
' of land, uninhabited and forlorn. Now
the IiuRsinn drum beats at sunrise, nnd
ships of nil nations float their Hags in
the harbor.
On this particular evening, while In
the narrow street of tho town nil was
silent save for tho occasional tread of a
Russian sentry, sounds of mirth and
laughter floated from tho brilliantly
lighted windows of the lonr, low gnrri
son house, for the commandant of the
station was giving n dinner.
It was quite a cosmopolitan gathering
that filled the long table, for among the
guests were Russian, French nnd Eng
lish naval officers, and two or three
Anglo-Indians who had como up from
Shanghai on the mail steamer.
The last course had been removed, and
the quickened conversation that comes
with tho cigars had just commenced,
when the commandant was summoned
outside, and, when he returned a mo
ment or two later, the most observant of
the guests detected a faint shadow in
his face.
The assemblage broko tip at a late
hour, and as tho guests passed out on
the way to their vessels a young French
officer cried out to the commandant:
"What is the matter, mon capitainel
Von look sad ami depressed."
Captain Shanoff laughed.
"It is nothing, Lieutenant fJarccnu,"
he replied "nothing but the onerous
burden of official duties. However, if
yon have on board your vessel a man
with iron nerves nnd the bravery of an
African lion yon can send him to mo."
The Frenchman, taking this in jest,
laughed and passed on with a cheery
"an revoir."
One young man, who had overheard
this brief conversation, purposely lin
gered till the last, nnd ns tho command
ant held out his hand to bid him good
night he said:
"Captain Shanoff, pardon my intru
sion. I heard your conversation with
the Frenchman. 1 saw, though ho did
not, that. yon were in earnest, and now
' I offer you my services."
The captain looked at him in surprise.
"You are one of the passengers by the
. mail steamer from Shanghai" he said.
r "Vou are correct," said tho man. "My
name is Luke Mowbray, of the Indian
civil service."
"And what is your object in making
this proposition" asked the captain.
"I am fond of adventure and sport,''
repliod Mowbray. "Since leaving India
I have had a dull time of it, and my
chance for excitotnent and change will
be doubly welcome."
The Russian captain stood in hesita
tion for a moment, and then leading the
way silently to an apartment beyond the.
dining hall he motioned Mowbray to a
seat and sat down facing him.
"Now," said Captain Shanoff, "I will
explain my conversation with the
Frenchman as briefly as possible.
Thirty miles from here, among the
Sikota mountains, there is a small de
tachuiont of Russians engaged in mining
operations. Mail bags are conveyed to
them twice a week by a native, who
makes the return journey in two days,
A month ago the carrier left Vladivo
1 Btok for the encampment. He has not
been heard of since. Two weeks ago
second carrier started, and he, too, has
comp'.otely disappeared. For more than
month we have heard nothing of our
companions. It is a profound mystery.
Tonight I learn that no one can be found
who will undertake to carry the mail
bag. The natives here are cowards,
and what few men I have, while they
are good soldiers, are not the men to un
ravel a mystery."
"What is your theoryT asked Mow
bray, "Robbers? Wild beast? Or
. could they have lost their way?"
"Wild animals are scarce," said the
captain. "There are no robbers in this
part of Russia, and the path, while
dsfloalt, is plain."
"When should the mail bag go?" went
ob Mowbray.
"It came by today's steamer, and
should leave early in the morning,"
replied Shanoff.
"Well," said Mowbray, "the ad
venture promises welL I will undertake
to reach the encampment with the mail
bag."
Captain Shanoff at first refused to
listen to his proposition; but Mowbray
Insisted to firmly that he at last gave a
reluctant consent.
Although he hesitated to Incur the re
sponsibility that would assuredly fall on
., bis shoulders in case anything should
befall the brave young fellow, he was
secretly overjoyed at his good fortune,
for the strange disappearance of the twa
Rathmet.
