'sBoutkovitch would have been punished
long ago for the murder of Wilenski," con-
tinued the agent, without noticing Laman-
much satisfied with his conduct in the pri-
son."
"With regard to anything that may be re-
| quired for the prisoners, you have only the
address yourself to me, exclaimed Laman-
| ski.
81 shall require something of you,' said
the agent; "but how am to know that you
will execute it 2"
II swear to you" began Lnmanski, "by
| all that is most sacred"
But the agent stopped him. 'The best
thing" he said, twill be for you to sign a
paper"
Il will sign whatever you please" he an
| swered.
"Just write from my dictation, then,
said the agent.
| Lamanski sat down and wrote as follows
i, Lamanski, by birth a Pole, by occu-
patton an assistant gaoler, spy and inform
| er, employed in the Russian prison of Will
| kovo, having been sentenced to death by the
National Government Of Poland, acknow-

knowledge, moreover, that on the l2ih day
of November, 1868, denounced to per-
son, whom l believed to be one of the
agents of the said National Government of
| Poland, the head gaoler of the Russian prison,
stating that he was to be found every even
ing at certain tavern, and making this
statement with the full knowledge that the
said Boutkovitch had been condemned to
death by the said National Government of
Poland, and with the object of causing the
sentence to be executed upon him.
"Copy it, and sign beth the original and
the duplicate" said the agent, when he had
read Lamanskis confession. 81 must send
one copy to Warsaw, 50 that whatever hap
pens to me, you may be quite sure that this
evidence aganst you will not be destroyed /"
" Is that all ?" asked Lamanski.

impossible y said Lamanski.
" Remember that you are under sentence
OF death. If you escaped us, which is not
likcly,you would still be answerable to your
own government. You may be stabbed
by us, or may be hanged by the Russians !;
but unless you obey implicitly the insiruc-
tions give you one fate or the other will
certainly befall you.
''It is impossible repeated Lamanski.
Remember, then, that your detail is not
at all impossible.
'Ask me to do anything within reason, :
said Lamanski; anything that can be done,
and will do it, Allow me to come and see
you again this evening""
81 shall leave Wilkovo to-day but you
will be watched quite as well-indeed, un.
der existing circumstances, very much bet
ter--when lam gone. We must understand
one another at once. Are you going to obey
me, or not ?"
81 will endeavour to do so, hut you must
protect me from consequences.
II will tell you precisely what can do
for you, and l keep my word, mind If
you save Stanislas Ferrari, will give you
one thousand roubles-not copeik more
nor copeik less-and see you safe out Of
the country. If you don't succeed in saw
ing him you must take your chance. If
you don't try to save him you will be ex-
ecuted.
Heaven protect met" cried the poor
wretch.
"Oh there is no reason why you should
die, and there is no reason why you should
not get the thousand roubles, and try to earn
an honest living abroad, if you think it
would suit YOU"
''And Boutkovitch? He will be against
met said the spy, after a moments re-
flection.
"We thought of applying to Boutkovitch," !"
answered the agent sand should have done
so if you had not come here to-day"
''He is just your man." cried the spy.
mo, no" replied the agent. 1--WE have
you in our power, and Boutkovitch is so
much in favor with the governor, and has
already stolen so much, that we might find
it difficult to make it worth his while. You
can do the work, and you will have to do it.
Now, form your own plans, and If can
will help you."
= must have second uniform, SAID the
spy.
"As many as you like. Do you want
money!
II should like to have little"
''There are hundred roubles. or course
pay all your expenses. You don't intend
the second uniform for Ferrari?'
"ies do. 1t is very old idea, but it
generally answers"
"You will have to pad il very much. You
are twice as broad as he is"
HE can wear it over his own clothes.
He will leave nothing behind him in the
cell, and they will not suspect him of having
