| love her and slightly claim her. am one
of them. / capture Jana now and tnen,
and mean to do it again. Instead OF pelng
angry with me, you had better come and
| join us, even though it be at my house,
shall be pleased to see you there very
often" e..
Vladimir bowed silently and Nine. de
| Dugarcy offered him her fair hand.
"You see we shall soon be reconciledP'
"We'l meet you at the theater, won't
we?" asked Jana.
"Certainly." g..
"May ask at what hour the ladies will
appear" asked Miller. =,
1--WE cannot possibly fix the time" said
Nine. de Dugarcy laughing. You may
expect US between 9 and IL. We have much
to do to-day"
''To be surer' said Vladimir. I'm your
Ladies' Club"
'But now it is time to be on" said the
| Frenchwoman "They will be waiting for
us, / lear. Goodby."
The tive ladies went laughing to the door.
| On the threshold Jana rurned round. .a..
"Oh, am glad remembered it'll Guess,
Vladimir, who had himself introduced to me
last night at the Minister'S. Mr.. Schelm!
Why, he is very Minister! He apologized,
however, for his daring aspirations SO very
cleverly that was entirely disarmed and
almost repented the bad joke we permitted
ourselves to play upon him. did not know
what kind of man he is. At all events he
is a very able man."
CT entirely agree with you," said her hus-
band, and still laughing, the two ladies
went out Vladimir took Miller to his
room.
Ibid you notice, {" he asked there, show
anxiously the Frenchwoman talked? fear
innovations from abroad, into which she
wishes to inveigle your wife,
Vladimir pressed his friends hand.
"You are right. She is no fit companion
for Jana, and dislike her very much. I
do not know, but 1 feel as if some great
misfortune was impending on us. That is
childish, but still cannot tell you how de-
pressed and unhappy I feelT'
"You have q right to be Jealous Your
wife is too much in the world, too little at
home. But now, goodby. We shall soon
meet again. We dine together, hope"
Certainly"
Miller was busy all day long between the
Ministry and the tavern, where we have
seen him. About Z o'clock he met Lanin at
the restaurant and after dinner they ad-
journed to the theater.
They came just as the operetta closed.
The curtain fell amid the applause OF the
enthusiastic audience. The theater looked
empty, but the public hoped that at least
one of the Grand Dukes would yet appear.
In the boxes the aristocracy of St. Peters
burg displayed its beauty and its Jewels,
surpassed, however in toilets by a number
of French ladies who had come to St. Pc
tersburg attracted by the wealth and the
luIuries of the bazaars of Russia. In the
auditorium the gorgeous uniforms of the
army formed a magnificent spectacle. Off
GERS Of all the 26 regiments of the Guards;
Generals in gala uniform with innumerable
stars and crosses in diamonds; lancers in
red, with gold and silver epaulets, while
here and there bashful black dress coat
hid itself in a corner.
Between the acts Prince Max, young
Office of the Artillery OF the Guard, came
into the box. Miller frowped at the unex-
pected visitor. Lanin received his friend
kindly.
At the same time two gentlemen rose who
had been sitting in the front row of the pit
Dy the side of a General covered with decora-
tions and looked around. Miller, who had
been in the front part of the box, quickly
drew back and threw himself into chair.
Vladimir handed Prince Max his opera
glasses, and then, resting on the velvet coy-
cred edge of the box, looked into the audi
2orium, nodding to many acquaintances. The
two men We mentioned stood directly under
him, and as they spoke loud he could hear
all they said.
How on earth did you get all these de-
tails" said one.
"Simply because was one of the chosen
ones and shall not forget it through all nv
life. Unfortunately, shall never have that
pleasure again. 1 am forgotten and SO do
not consioer myself bound any longer to
preserve secrecy"
