CHAPTER V.

BoUTk0vITCH IT WORK.
"Well, Boutkovitch, you dog, what have |
you to say for yourself?" asked General
Gontchalin.
81 have to say" replied Boutkovitch-
who, instead of taking offence at the term
of endearment applied to him, looked much
as French grenadier might have done on
having his ear pulled by Napoleon" that
London Is remarkable city,"
"That I already know" answered Con-
tchalin. "Is that all you have to tell me ?"
"They talk Of their freedom !" continued
Boutkovitch, but what use they make
of it? Why, London is nothing but nest
of conspirators |"
"Detailsl" said the general, stretching
himself out on the sofa, as II fatigued by
Boutkovitchs eloquence. II want details, ~
he repeated, drawing out and preparing to
light cigarette.
"Oh, general! allow me-" exclaimed
Boutkovitch. He wished to hold the match.
Thank you. can do 1t my self, said
Gontchalin, motionIng Boutkovitch to keep
where he was.
Men of high position, continued Bout
kovitcb, "men who have enjoyed the en-
peror's favor, and received decorations, are
here associating with professed liberals, re-
volutionists and all the basest of mankind.
Gontchalin, without taking his cigarette
out of his mouth, made sign Of impatience
to Boutkoyitch. He cared nothing for Bout
kovitch's reflections, but there are some men
who aOiU communicate to other men what
other men don't want to hear. Boutkoviich
was one of them.
'.You would be really astonished II you
knew what was going on" persisted Bout
kovitch. mot to speak at present Of the
Russians, was present last night, after
leaving the opera, at meeting Of Poles.
Some of the most distinguished of the Polish
mobiles were there"
'The Poles are all nobles," interrupted
the general.
GAS you are kind enough to say, they nre
all mobiles, and may add that they all de-
serve to be hanged. They are endeavoring
now to unite with the revolutlonists Of
Russia"
'The Poles in London" said Con tchalin,
are nearly all refugees, and we have no hold
upon them. Your particular duty is to look
after the Russians. Who are the men you
speak of that occupy high positions, and
have received favours from the emperor, and
who are now plotting against him p
IL have some OF their names here, an
swer.d Boutkovitch. He produced paper
ON which number of names were written.
The general ran his eye hastily down the
list. "Three officers; a couple Of pioies-
sors a landed proprietor-he has not much
land, should think, or if he has it is mort
| gagged beyond its value; civil functionarS;
two journalists they are bad set. the
: journalists an artist; artist in what, won
der? Artist in conspiracy, suppose. All,
we'll. There are at least two names htic
that should not have expected to find.'
"Only two, general? That Is very few.
mo, that is great many. thought
I knew them all. And what have on to say
about these men"
+ "That they go day after day to the h"ust
9 of Siegfried, where plots of all kinds unt
g against all governments are hatclcd."
'iSiegfried is indeed a revoluiionist Ill
= has earned his name. You are quite SURF
9 of Krasnicvitch, the professor?"
]. "Certain. spoke to him myself ih
Il very morning"
d "And Captain Bagdanotf, of the enei
G neers ?"
He was not there this morning, but h
I !, was the night before last"
:, General Gontchaiin put marks to boil
: these names.
"What is Major Schaflarik, by birth ?"
=, "I do not quite know. His father wa
n either Pole or Bohemian, hut he call
b. himself Russian. He is red rciublit.l
ID of the worst kind"
I'd 81 am aware Of that. But he is only
s. talker. Well, then, it is quite certain tha
all these men go to Siegfried's.
IL GAS to that, am willing to swear to yor
=, u general"
"Ii is not at all necessary. You say yo
ry have seen every one OF them there, doyou
:" "Yes."
h, "That is enough"
e. General Gontchalin put into his potkt
cd the list ofmen prescribed by his spy.
"Do you 60 to Siegfried's oftens'
"From time to time"
+" "And do many Poles go there 7"
~ "Nearly as many Poles as Russians. Ma

M the way, he knows that young man wi

"Jankowski, your cxcellency, is such

'u' "But what does he say?"
