the conspiracy were hanged, andmany hun
dreds. inclu ling members of nearly every
family Of Importance in Russia, were sent
into exile. My brother and two of my
cousins were among the number"
"And this horrible man ?" inquired Nath-
allie.
"Fcrrari? Oh, he had commission
given to him, decorations of all kinds, an
estate, and a large sum Of money. He
claimed his wife, and the father had the sat

tell you. But know that he served in one
OF the Polish regiments-more as a spy
than as soldier, believe-and that he lived
in Warsaw for many years, and that he mar

cuse him of having treated them much as he

at the Exhibition that he had no intention
of going back there?"
"That reason, or some other. But really
Nathalie, you seem to have been very atten

'tPoor young man! He is in such an un

'The position his own father made TO

The waiter now made his appearance
once more, and said that M. Boutkovitcl
presented his compliments, and wished Il

to call on him at some other time.
