you shonld," he said, in closing his
!, speech, II will pledge myself to deliver
the Gear into your hands,"
"How may we rely upon this ?" they

Because I am the Gar myself" ex
claimed Peter, and he threw off his dis.
guise and discovered his true character
10 them,
1t was indeed the Gar, the great
Peter of Russia, and yet the same who
had passed SO much time in the little
Finland village to be near the woman he
loved. His frank and brave confession
of his identity in the face of the conspir-
ators had the effect of turning the whole
tide of affairs. Those who had been the
most obstinately opposed to him now
became his most devoted followers; he
led his troops to the battle field in person,
and he vanquished the enemy He had
now returned TO his palace, greater than
ever before, and much more popular.
| Yet the Gar was far from being hap
IpY III spite Of his success and brilliant
achievements. He mourned for the brave
woman he had lost, who was the first to
Ilnclte him to great deeds, and whom he
)stlll loved madly He had given Dan
Illowitz, who was now high officer of
THE realm, full power to search the entire
.>.ngdom, and offered immense rewards
for GATHERINGS recovery But he was
slowly making up his mind that she was
dead, and the only consolation he found
was IN certain portion of the palace
which he had caused to be fitted up in
exact counterpart of his old workshop at
Wyborg, with view to representing
GATHERINGS house and the surroundings.
He pei mitted1no one to enter here but
Danilowitz, until he one day, sent to
have his former friends, the workmen
and villagers, come to pass some time with
him here.
They came and among them was the
real George Savorouski, whose sister had
met with so much misfortune in acting az
his substitute, accompanied by Prascovia,
his wife. But they brought no tidings
of Catherine, who had never returned to
them.
1t was in going from one portion of his
palace to another to meet these people
hat the Gar heard voice in the court
yard, singing pIaintively the same air
which he and Geoige used to play on the
flute. and he could have sworn it, was
GATHERINGS. He sent for Danilowitz
Immediately, and asked him if he had
found her
Il have, sire, but was afraid to tell
you of it.
"Why?"
Because she has lost her reason"
Danilowitz then proceeded to tell how
she had swan the river how she had |
been wounded by the corporal's shot
how she had taken refuge ia an obscure
family, and how his liberal offers Of re.
ward had finally led to her discovery.
But" he added, 'it is too late for she is
hopclessly mad"
After the Gar had recovered from the
shock which the mingled Joy and sorrow
bad given him, be sat himself about d
plan for restoring GATHERINGS reason. 1t
was founded on good sense. He assem-
bIed all the people of the old village in
the workshop that he had already pro
vlds for himself. He had GATHERINGS
IL vase represented, and George and Pras,
covla established in it, He instructed
all he people to act just as they did ut
home, and to have everything appear rs
tn ugh it were the wedding day Of
George and PraScoyia, and as if they pd
all just returned from church Then he
himself withdrew.
His Instructions were followed liter
ATTY, and when the wandering Catherine
-crazed by grief and misfortune anne
in, q new light seemed to break in upon
her. Yet she thought it all a dream.
But she went from one to another as If
she had not been absent from them; as
a were congratulating her brother and
las bride upon their marriage ; as they
pooh oohed all her wanderings, and told
hrr that she had been dreaming, her
reason began to rea>sert itself among
these old associations. At the right
moment, Peter, in his working habits,
appeared on the scene, and held her out
In his arms. Catherine rushed ioyfully
to hun, and the realization of her being
reunited to him in the old way brought
new life and new reason to her.
So the old story-teller's prophecy was
not false one, and Catherine found her
happiness and greatness in the "Star Of
the North"
