"Names that l already knew"
Forgive. me, general. There were two
in particular which had the honor Of sub
mitting to you"
.'Scoundrell you dare to answer me"
exclaimed Gontchalin.
Boutkovitch remained silent and then,
seeing that the general was MOI enragcd be-
yond all bounds, put on sickly smile of
submission and apology.
II d" not know what you do with your
self, ssi, General Gontchalin, in semi
pacifed tone. .You spend your time in
taverns, believe, instead of going into
society,""
"Oh, general! ]" protested Boutkovitch.
. Yet" continued Gontchalin, "you have
received the necessary introductions."
''And really have profited by them, said
the spy. ~ know every friend of Poland.
They are not 80 numerous as they used to
be but such as they are, know them all,
and visit them, and am asked to their houses,
and help them to get up their little lotteries
and their fancy fairs. And l have made the
acquaintance of the great Siegfried. He
hates introductions, and if had brought
him one, he probably would not have re-
ceived me. So called upon him, and said
plainly that my name was Boutkovitch, and
that one of my objects in coming to England
was to pay him visit and can assure
you we are very good friends indeed. /
share bis ideas on the subject of the peas
antry, and he is good enough to say that 1
am one of the few men who understand
him. No, general, have not been idle, l
can assure you. Besides, have even found
out one or two facts-llttle ones, but facts all
the same-about this Ferrari."
"Why did you not say SO before"
swell, you-you scarcely allow me, gene
rul. Besides, have not discovered any
thing very essential about his present posi-
tion. 1t is only his past life that has been
related to me- related to me by Jankowski,
his intimate friend. 1t is stupid story. he
was at u gymnasium somewhere in the king
dom of Poland. 1t appears that the Ferrarls
are more detested in Poland than in Russia
for which reason young Ferrari, If he had
auy sense, would be on the Russian side.
Instead Of that the stupid fellow takes part
with the Poles. Well, II seems that when
he was at school some one spoke about bis
father, called him traitor, and other pretty
NAMES, and so offended the son, that he Wen
away, and could not be prevailed upon te
return. He was sent to another gymnasium.
1h,rc il was the same thing over again
only worse. He was asked how the son O
Colencl Ferrari dared to show hime0l
among the sons of brave men who had suf
fered for their country; and great dea
more in the same style. He left the secont
s, mnasium.'
Poor fellow" said the general, "it wa
hard for lim."
NO doubt, replied the say, "but who's
fault WAS it?'
II said it was hard for him !" cried th
general, in an angry tone.
81 brg your pardon, general, if my oh
selvation had in any way the appearance o
II contradiction. assure you it was not in
territorial" pleaded Boutkoviteh.
"Wcll, what is he doing in London? 70
Tint is all that concerns you, and that is III
very Thing you know nothing about?'
.'Ihat, your excellency, shall soon dis
c,ver. His friend Jankowski thinks @
taking him to Siegfried's, and there he wi
M doubt speak"
'Speak! They do nothing but speak
: ex' lained Gonichalr.
'rhey will act before long, general"
. "Thrn shall know what to do, sha
hea little n."re in my element than l al

Beukuyilch, finding that the general ha

: Ing ''t2 king Politics. and considered hin
self vrguely, IA political man."

sh importance and ferocity, to at least a HI

"But they will want funds If they
'ad really bent on action. They must be n

out farthing of money"
he "Ah, general it is precisely because d
have no money, and because they hop'
ish steal some, that they get up such thing
ust all; their first step will be to rob the tire,

the idea, is that an insurrcction should SUPP
