melancholy and despair, I was thinking Of
returning to India to release the sovereign
from his promise when I met Ivan Kolok, a
penal colonist who had received amnesty.
Them. his conduct having seemed
tiles, they permitted him to do business
on his own account. To-day Ivan is a
free Siberian merchant. for he has served
his penalty. But Ivan, madame, had tasted
OF real liberty. His submission had only
been apparent. He kept up his relations
with the colonists and exiles; moreover, he
joined the numerous societies of Siberia.
Business bringing him to st. Petersburg, he
met me when l was just on the eve of de-
parture and recognized me-. / opened my
heart to this old friend. He made me real
ize the entire Transformation Russia had
undergone-a transformation which in my
character of Hindoo prince 1 had not been
able to perceive. He said to me: why
should O not make use of the fortune
and position under your proper name? The
thing for you to do is not to change you
own character, but to transform to suit

least feasible. To avoid suspicion l had

Muller, erect and grave. said:

. desperate effort in freeing his head, asked
in a plaintive and tremulous tone:
"Whas torture is this? What are you
doing to me?'
Darine made a sign that he wanted to
speak.
"You did not allow me. Dakouss, 70 ex-
plain what l meant to do with you and thus
you obliged me to use brutal force. / don't
want to kill you, bnt you must disappear.
My power as imperial procurator does not
reach a%bsurdity. l cannot save a Grimm al
who cOnfesses his crime and yet | want to
do something for you. You are known by
your beautiful face, for it is not your sci
ence that has made your reputation such as
it is. You will disappear if you are disfg-
ured.
Never! shall sooner compel you to kill
you are defending your beauty" said
Darine, but it no longer exists. Look at
yourself"
Dakouss then recalled the pain he had
felt when the liquid was poured ON his face
by Poleno, and which the doctor in his ter
rible excitement had for a moment forgot
ten. He fell back, sobbing like n child and
crying:
"Oh! cursed tormentors. What nave 1
ever done to you!'
go on, Bello," SAID Darine. He must
be un~recogniZable.''
Dakouss made no further resistance. His
breast heaved with c%onvulsive sobs and he
seemed to lose Consciousness. Poleno
seized him by the hair and held his head.
Bello poured on more of the corrosive
liquid. By al instructive impulse, Da-
kouss. as he wept, closed his eyes to avoid
being blinded. He seemed to be resigned
to the sacrifice. This lasted for five min
utes: then Poleno let go the doctors HAN
and said to Darine:
"What else is to be done:"
You have the other yial.' he was an
swered. Now cicatriZe the burns. The
vItriol has eaten enough. He ia a hideous
object: we must not kill him.
Poleno poured on Dakouss' face another
liquid that seemed to revive the unfortun-
ate doctor. He opened his eyes, looked
about him with a dazed expression, put his
hand to his face and faltered:
'Oh, what agony"
You are safe now said Darine coolly. 81
shall have you tried and condemned as Al
a%ccomplice of Count Lanine; but you car
walk abroad in st. Petersburg with impun-
ity, for none will recognize you. unless yo,
choose to give yourself up. You can prac.
tice your profession as before and if yol
need money the committe will supply YOU
Dakouss leared down. His face was on
great sore and his handsome wSiskers wer
burned and ~blackened.

on the table. Their movements were 40
quick that Dakouss had not time to scream.
He was lying upon the red table cover,
held Town bv four sinewy arms before he
could think what they wanted of him or
why they treated him 80.
Bello placed his broad hand over Da-
kouss' eyes. and Poleno. while he held the
doctor on the table with his left hand,
poured on his face a few drops from the
vial. Dakouss felt a fearful smarting at
the touch of the liquid and, succeeding by

Darine coolly smiled.
Come. my friends" he said to Bello and
Poleno, ''give him tonight for reflection.
Tomorrow. Dakouss, we shall set you mt
liberty. If, however, you prefer to go to
Siberia. take your choice. Come to-mor-
row into my court and l shall have you ar

Dakouss was ready to spring upon him.
II shall have my revenge, you scoundrel."

NEW BASE BALL LEAGUE,
An Improbable Story From Philadelpl
General NOtas


An Improbable Story From Philadelphia-
General Notes.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is authority
for the statement that the new league
has been organized to take tho place of the
American Association and already has clubs
and grounds in the following cities: Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Columbus,
Chicago. Milwaukee and St Louis.
The old Athletic grounds in Philadelphia
have been engaged and Fred Dunlap will cap
tain and play second base. Billy Robinson,
McTamany and Tom Brown are also claimed.
Jim Mutrie will be manager and Billy voltz
Will be business manager. Geo. Williams of
Chicago has bad attack Of base ball fever, and
will put clubs there and in St. Louis, to the
latter place to hurt Won der Abe. The associa-
ton people in Milwaukee and Columbus are
expected to have clubs in the new organiza-
ton. Two OF the players club capitalists in
Plttsburg will establish a nine in the Smoky
City. Lon knight is said to be arranging for
new club i'll Boston. A meeting will be held
in Columbus or Chicago soon when details Of
organization will be arranged.
The Inquirer says that the new organization is
not intended to be antagonistic to the twelve
club league.
Milwaukee dispatch to the STAR says: San
attempt is being made to form a new base ball
asked to become one OF the clubs. Mr.. Williams
OF the Chicago club is the originator of the
scheme. 1t will be laid before the Milwaukee
club directors at a meeting to be held tonight
The new association is to comprise Milwaukee,
Columbus. indianapolis, Toledo, Buffalo Roch-
ester, Syracuse and Toronto. The Milwaukee
men are favorably impressed with the plan il it
can be carried out. They will move carefully.
however, as SO FAR Milwaukee has made nothing
but glory out Of baseball, and not great deal
of that"
Mr.. George W. Wagner has offered to Bal
timore to exchange Hardie Richardson and
Shoch for Shindle. He also offered Mcclure
or Milligan for Gunson. Won der Horst is
not inclined to accept either offer.
Pitcher Elmer Smith has signed with Pitts
burg.
Every thing seems to indicate the appoint
ment OF Charley" Jones to the leagues staff
OF umpires He will be recommended to
President Young by the New York, BROOKLYN,
Cincinnati, Louisville and Washington clubs
The league staff may be made up of Lynch
McQuaid, Gaffney, Sheridan, Hurst, Kerins,
Jones and Ferguson.
Bassett has not been signed by the New York
Club, as his terms are somewhere up in the
clouds Danny" Lyons will play third base
instead OF Bassett, who may be given to Wash
ington in return for Danny" Richardson
Ne,o York Herald.
Mr. Wagner thinks that the Baltimores will
make u better showing in the twelve-club
league than New \ ork, st. Louis, Cincinnati or
Pittsburg.
President Young will today send 70 the diff
ferent clubs the assignment Of players for next
season. The lists heretofore published in vari-
Gus papers are therefore mere gucsswork.

ALEXANDRIA.
wAsHINGToN's HELPING HAN


The proposal to put up several rows OF
houses on the northwest edge Of tho city carly
in the coming season is viewed by some as evil
dence Of the growth of Alexandria, and in one
sense this is true. for all the additional build
ings expand the town and show an increase in
its population. but when it is considered that
the additional buildings do not come
from from any expansion o. any Alexan.
.Ea enterprise; but are the result Of
that it is accretion from without and not growth
from within that is building up the town. and
that tits Washington which is growing, although
Alexandria receives tho benefit Of that growth.
The later industrial enterprises undertaken for
the benefit OF the town have, however, proved
moderately successful and give promise of still
better results before the close of this decade.
