A Word TO SHOPPERS.

Those who read the papers carefully
during the past week have undoubtedly
noticed the appearance of several very
flamboyant advertisements, and also
the very fiat contradiction from an
authoritative source of the statements
made in them. Do not such occur
rences offer food for reflection! No
one can buy goods cheaper than We
do. No one sells them lower than we
do. Ask us for samples and prices,
and convince yourself that it will more
than pay you to shop in Brooklyn.

OUT
THE JAWS OF DEATH
fcoNTIliuED.1

"You forced me to explain-to confess
everything-to rely upon your feeling for
Taras, il not on your mercy, for a man
whose Judgment has been betrayed by an
excess of affection-the moment you
stopped me, and there was question of your
charging me with an indictable offense.
The merest rumor would suffice to draw
own the vengeance of the society upon
me. You must promise to keep my secret"
"If cannot promise"-
"Then / must leave the country before
you can betray me- My life will not be
safe here for another day. You force me
to abandon Taras, and you take upon your
self all responsibility for what befalls him
after. This is what will follow. When
the police at st. Petersburg discover what
has happened-and the telegraph will take
the news within few hours of my flight
Rudersdorf will be dispatched to fill my
place, and all the precautions you may
take will fail to ward off the blow which
his relentless hand will surely strike
Within week-aye, less than that-Taras
will be dead man, and you will have to
answer to God for his death"
IL was | now who trembled.
Seeing the deep impression he had made
Kavanagh proceeded quickly:
i ask you for nothing that you cannot
safely give. throw aside the hope of in
ducing you to help me in getting Taras
away from London. l merely ask you to
be silent for awhile-to hold my secret un-
til have devised some new plan for defeat
ing Rudersdorf and the police. What else
oan you desire? If human ingenuity, sharp
ened by the fear Of death, can discover
means of saving Taras, he shall be saved.
Wanton wickedness or madness can alone
lead you to refuse such an offer You hold
q guarantee of good faith on my part for if
you have reason to believe that am play
ing falsely, you can at once make this
charge against me and bring two witnesses
to support it, Furnishing my infidelity with

for an indefinite time. Give me but week

plausible proposal, but in the end, feeling

said:
"Pll say nothing for a week anyhow"
keep that promise, and l will fulfill
mine," said he, springing to his feet, with
conviction in his face which seemed to in
dictate that some scheme for deceiving the
police had already flashed upon his imagi-
nation.

L. Dunsmore, speaker of the Populist
house, at Wichita, cISeed his speech with
the declaration thatS6he treaty of peace
between the two rival houses last winter
was written by George II. Peck, the fam
GUS railroad attorney, and signed by Gov
ernor Lcwelling in the dead hour of the
night. Mr.. Peck admits that Mr.. Doug
lass told the truth, but he violated COM
pact in revealing the circumstances. Peck
labored with the governor an hour to Inn
press upon him that there would be trou-
BILE unless the matter was settled. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Pecks talk the tears
were streaming from the governors eyes,
and he readily signed the agreement.

ertStS botUeen TdrdS and GordonS"
"Gordon would be seized and taken to
Russia in the place of 1aras."
But the moment be seizes Gordon he
will discover his mistake"
Howl"
''Gordon does not speak Russian. He
knows only little French. He would say
at once in English that he was not Taras."
"Rudersdorf would laugh in his face.
Nearly every prisoner tries to get off by
pretending he is not the real man, but
somebody else. They would ask him for
his papers to prove his identity. An Eng
lishman never carries papers, and Gordon's
inability to produce them would convict
him at once in the eyes of a Russian official
unacquainted with our customs"
For amoment ceased to think OF Taras,
and l saw only Gordon, my genial, kind
hearted friend, torn away from his friends

new zest for life.
poor Gordonl'' murmured.
Seeing that opposition served better than
persuasion to stimulate my resolution,
kavanagh shifted his ground.
Poor Gordoni'' he echoed. "a man who
never injured any living creature"
"What of thats" l fired up. HE has
done nothing for mankind that others have
not done. There are thousands of men as
good as he There is not another in the
world like Taras"
THAT il true. But it seems cruel, an
awful shame to make him suffer for no
fault of his. It's a yillainous thing to do.
No, hang It'll can't bring myself to play
this treacherous part. l must think of it.

'But you are certain that his life will not
be taken"
''As certain as am that the sun will rise
tomorrow. But to him freedom''-
'They will not keep him prisoner for
ever" interrupted again.
NO" he said, with a smile. But" he
added gravely, "he may be kept prisoner
for months"
'Monthsl" Exclaimed, astonished by the
lightness of the penalty.
Possibly" He seemed to misinterpret
my surprise. ''On the other hand, he may
be set at liberty in few weeks. 1t all de-
pends upon the length of time he has to
wait for official examination. The minister
of police of course knows Taras, and the
moment he sees Gordon the mistake will
be discovered
"a few weeks-a few months-that is
nothing!"

"Or to him. A man with half his kind

tone:

"But their features are not alike in form

depict one mans face SO exactly as to defy
error"
"I dare say you are right. Never mind
that. Go on"
"As l told you, Rudersdorf has never

scription issued by the police TO lead him.

"Supposing should misguide him'"
"Misguide himl How could you do

Nothing easier have simply to point
out Gordon and say, That is Taras.' He
would believe it without question"

the possibilities this hint revealed.

faltered.
''God Forbid Even to save Taras would
not be instrumental to the death of Gordon.
Both are my friends. No. The letter l
read TO you shows that while Rudersdorf is
