my horse was on a walk, owing to bad
spot just there, when figure which would
swear before any court to have been that OF
Haddon's rose up from the front steps and
moved down the highway parallel with me
and not over 10 feet away. My horse SHE'D

siderably frightened, but my first idea was
that the man was some belated traveller or
wandering tramp Under this supposltlon

"Hello, friendl Which wayP"
He made no answer, and called again.
l could make him out plainly enough, but
/ could not see that he even turned his
head. Then | believed the man to be some
one who intended me evil and turned the
loaded whip in my hand as a weapon OF de-
Tense. He maintained his position for about
300 feet. Then we descended a small hill.
A creek flowed across the highway here,
running under a stone arch. At the bridge
the figure vanished so suddenly that could
not tell which way it went. My horse ut
tered snort and broke into sharp trot,
and it is needless to say that did not seek
to check his gait frankly admit that
was considerably upset. | regarded the fig

he had abandoned his plan against me be-

as before, walked beside me to the stone
arch, and then disappeared like a shadow.

Next day l rode out to the stone arch and
crept under it. After bit l found loose
stone in the masonry, and behind it good

The Chinese WAY.

Among other odd things l had heard Of
the Chinese people was that person con-
demned to punishment or death was per-
mitted to furnish substitute, but passed
it by as a yarn until happened face to
face with the actual fact. I was in the
city Of Ping Shan, on the great Yang-tse-
Kiang river, and at the market house one
morning heard loud discussion among
group of common people. A merchant
named Hoa Hung had discovered that one
of his statesmen was robbing him, and on
the impulse of the moment had struck him
dead. There was no fuss made over the
affair. The murderer went to judge and
confessed and was sentenced to death. This
only took about an hours time Then he
proceeded to the market to find substi-
tute 1t was the same as buying goose or
calf The murderer mounted box and
loudly proclaimed:
Here is grand opportunity for some
onel have killed mani | want sub
stitute to die in my place! Who will come
forwardP"
One man offered himself for about 81 so
in American money. A second made it an
even 81. Then there was a wrangle over
cutting prices in that fashion, but two 9th
ers came up and offered to die for $3.50
each. The man who had made the first Of
fer got upon another box and shouted:
Behold Hoa Hung! / am mani !
am known! have a wife and five children
who will praise you! These others are but
mud compared to me! You will not be
ashamed to see me die for you"
The merchant closed with his offer, tax
ing him to legal functionary of some sort
to witness the payment of half down. The
balance was to go to his family after his
head had been cut off. The substitute at
once began to paint the town red. He was
given perfect liberty to go where he pleased.
He smoked opium, got drunk, had fight
or two and went home loaded down with
luxuries. On the morning of the third day
the merchant delivered him at the execu-
ton grounds. He was good natured and
even jolly. ! stood within 10 feet of him,
and could not detect the slightest sign of
fear. He knelt down with smile on his
face, bent his head for the blow, and as the
executioner's sword sliced it off Hoa Hung
turned away with the remark;
''Yes, he was man, and l made good
bargainl'' CORNELIUS AINsWoRTH.

the ground was already covered with snow,
It was drawn by three horses, each with a
DELL i'm the arc over the saddle. Inside
there was lot Of baggage and letter bags,
for this, 1 believe, was the mail sledge. The

didn't promise you that we should be
treated like princes' A princel Wait till
I've lit my pipe and one Of us, know, will
be as happy as king"
The Cossacks, peering in at us, wore the
queerest expression imaginable. Never be-
fore perhaps had they seen an exile start
ing out for Orkutsk with such jovial,
bappy-go-lucky air as Gordon's.
Five O'clock" said Gordon, looking at
his watch as we passed under the lamp
over the gates OF the fortress. "They haven't {
taken thing from me, though of course
was searched for discriminating papers
not a thing. That's a convincing proof
that our detention was merely formal and
that we are bound by nothing stronger
than red tape--in fact, don't feel like a
prisoner Do you, Sister Aura'"
1t was indeed hard to realize that we
were still in the iron grasp of the police
when the Cossacks. falling to the rear, were
out of sight. My respondent misgivings
gave place to the hopeful ideas impaired
by my friend, and my spirits rose under
the exhilara.ing influences of the journey.
The air, though intensely cold, was bright
and clear; the stars shope sharp and bright
in the sky; the snow was hard, and the
horses sped along swiftly to the musical
clash of the bells over their backs.
We did not stop until we reached the
posthouse, where the horses were changed.
There we had very good lunch, and after
the indispensable cup of tea we started
afresh, quite pleased to go on.
This is something like q journey d'agre-
mongW said Gordon as he lit another pipe
and nestled up in his corner.

CHAPTER XXXIIr.
WE SET OUT.

We were allowed to see each other no
more until we reached st. Petersburg, and
then only at distsnce, as we were hurried
from the train which brought us from the
port into the separate carriages in which
we were ratified off TO prison.
In that moment Gordon waved his hand
to me and smiled encouragingly, but
knew that the poor fellow, despite his SAN
guine temperament, could find but little
ground to base hope upon.
About an hour after my arrival / was
taken down to an office, where the minister
of police sat at the head of writing table.
The only other persons present were Ru.
dersdorf and the old gentleman. Their man.
ner was obsequiously deferential toward
their chief, sharp and severe toward me.
With slight inclination Of the head he
told me to take chair, and fixing his dark,
penetrating eyes upon me said:
"Mademoiselle, do you deny that Taras,
Prince Borgensky, is your friend?"
"No," replied proudly; "he is the dear
est friend 1 have in the world" These
words brought tears into my eyes, so that
saw everything as in mist, but brushed
them away impetuously and met the min
isters eyes firmly, and with the resolve to
keep my emotion down.
'Then how comes it," the minister asked,
''that you have aided in bringing him
heref"
II have done no such thing. The man
you have here Is not Taras, but George
Gordon. If you are the minister of police,
you will know that when you see him."
Assuming that this is George Gordon,
why did you aid in bringing him hereS"
ITO save Taras from being murdered by
your agent, Rudersdorf."
sis this the first time you have endea-
vored to saveyour friend?"
"No; Ihave balked Kavanagh i'm two II
not three attempts to carry him away"
"And you hoped to save Taras fourth
time by substituting George Gordon, to
mislead our agentsp
"Yes."
'You thought TO throw off the pursuit
by making US believe that we had captured
Taras5'
.Yes.n
"Then why are you so anxious now 10
make us believe that we have not got
Tarasf"
Because Kavanagh made me believe
that the moment you discovered the mis-
take Rudersdorf would be banished In dis
grace, while public outcry would compel
you to abandon any further effort to re-
move Taras from England"
"You are candid, at any rate" said the
minister. after exchanging a swift glance
with Rudersdorf.
II want you to know the whole truth"
"In that case, will you be good enough
to give me the particulars Of the attempts
made by Mr.. Kavanagh TO kidnap TarasS,
/ narrated the events as simply as
could. When came to an end, the minis
+ ter wrote few lines, handed the paper 70
Rudersdorf, and rising took mp his hat.

During the inquiries which must neces-
sarily be made to ascertain the truth OF

forward manner in which you have given
