not wide open, part of the outer door
could be seen. There remained half an
hour before the decisive moment, which
both employed in preparing for flight.
Their wraps were hanging up in the ward
robe in the chamber They had,
therefore, to put on what they had with
them in the sitting room. Morosoff put
on light summer overcoat. Olga threw
over her shoulders wooden scarf to pro-
tect her somewhat from the cold In order
to deaden as much as possible the sounds
of their hasty footsteps, which might arouse
the attention of the sentinel in the pro-
found silence of the night, both of them
put on their goloshes, which, being elastic,
made but little noise. They had to put
them on next to their stockings, although
it was not particularly agreeable at that
season, for they were in their slippers,
their shoes having been purpusely sent into
the kitchen to be cleaned for the following
day in order to remove all suspicion res
pecting their intentions
Everything being prepared, they re-
manned in readiness, listening to every
sound made by the landlady. At last
came the changing of the empty pals.
She went to the little room, threw open
the door and began her work The mo-
ment had arrived. Morosof cast IA hasty
glance. Oh, horror! The empty pail
scarcely projected beyond the threshold,
and the door was at very acute angle, 50
that even from the door of the sitting room
where they were part of the interior of the
kitchen could be seen. Morosoff turned
toward Olga, who, standing behind him,
holding her breath. made an energetic sign
in the negative. A few minutes passed,
which seemed like hours The pumping
ceased. The pail was full She was
about to place it on the floor. Both
stretched their necks and advanced step,
being unable to control the anxiety of
their suspense. This time the heavy pail
banged against the door and forced it back
on its hinges; stream of water being
split. The view of the kitchen was com
pletely shut out. but another disaster had
occurred. Overbalanced by the heavy
weight, the landlady had come half out
into the corridor ''She has seen us,
whispered Morosoff. falling back pale as
death. mo, replied Olga excitedly, and
she was right. The landlady disappeared
into the little room and moment after
recommended her Gathering work.
Without losing a moment, without even
turning round, Morosoff gave the signal to
his companion by firm grip of the hand,
and both issued forth, hastily passed
through the corridor, softly opened the
door and found themselves upon the land
ing of the staircase. With cautious
steps they descended and were in the
street, i'll clad, but very light of heart. A
quarter of an hour afterward they were
in house where they were being anxiously
awaited by their friends, who welcomed
them with joy more easy to imagine than
to describe.
In their own abode their flight was not
discovered until late in the morning, when
the landlady came to do the room.
