that was unmistakable.
"What do you want?" cried Maurice
in bewilderment. sis anything wrong
with our passports? Where is Ivan? He
can explain this blunder."
But Ivan was nowhere to be seen.
AS the boys hesitated the officer gave
an emphatic command in Russian, and
instantly the gendarmes closed in ON
them and dragged them roughly from
the car. Their baggage had already
preceded them.
Reaching the ground, they had a
brief view of lonely, deserted street,
two long rows of glimmering lamp
posts that dwindled to point, and a
gloomy, closed carriage, with two gen.
darmes mounted on the box.
The door was flung open to admit
them and closed with a sharp click.
They had a glimpse of the train as it
moved slowly forward again, with its
curious passengers swarming at the
windows, and then the carriage rum
bled noisily through the deserted out
skirts of the city, surrounded by cor
don of mounted Cossacks.
In faraway St. Petersburg Vladimir
Saradoff, with a smile ON his lips, is
whirling fair partner over the waxen
floors of the French legation to the be-
witching strains of the Grenadiers'
band.
Thousands of versts to the eastward
the heartbroken Russian exiles are
sleeping their sad sleep ON frozen Sibe-
rian wastes.

Deliver this one lTumedlately, he
said, designating the letter first writ
ten. Let the other go by the early
mail. You understand everything,
Iyan?'
"Ycs, your excellency," replied the
Russian. Nothing shall be forgotten. !"
And saluting his master he left the
apartment.
Overhead, in the soft, luxurious beds,
the two boys slept calmly, little dream
ing of their Lost's rerfidy, unconscious
of the fatal i:nport Of those two letters
that Were even now speeding to their
respective destinations.
In Russia deeds are possible that no
other country on the globe would toler-
ate.
With his wealth. his standing at
court, his influence with high officials,
what could not Vladimir Saradolf ao-
complish if he willed?

petrated that night.

rumbling cannons.

rumbling cannons
One loud cry burst from the startled
spectators, and the artillery horses,
scared at the uproar, bore madly down
on the helpless officer, lost to all re-
straint
Maurice took in the situation at a
glanoe-the frightened people on the
sidewalks, the mounted Cossacks before
the sleigh, who seemed petrified with
horror, and the rapidly advancing ar
tillery.
He sprang to the ground, and in three
leaps reached the luckle officers side.
Grasping him under the arms, he pull
ed with all his might, once, twice, and
as the portly form yielded he sprang
back with his burden from under the
very hoofs Of the snorting horses and
sank down on the trampled snow. The
heavy cannon passed within an inch of
his feet, and then, with sickening
crunch, the wheels rolled over the fall
en- steed.
Eager hands lifted them to their feet,
and shouting mob surged around on
all sides
The officer, who was apparently unin-
jured, tore loose from the Cossacks, who
were brushing his uniform, and Selling
Maurice in his arms implanted kiss
fairly upon his lips, talking volubly all
the while in Russian. He was noble
looking man, with "a light wavy beard
ard mustache
II can't speak Russian" Maurice
finally stammered in despair.
"Har cried the officer joyously.
"You are English. / speak your Ian.
guage too. That was a noble deed.
These base towards here were too alarm
ed to move. To whom do owe my
hfe?" And he thrust card into Maui
rice's hands.
At that moment bareheaded man,
wearing the garb of one of the palace
servants, pushed forward and rpomenta-
rily attracted the officers attention.
On the same instant pair of strong
arms were thrown about Maurice, and
he was forcibly dragged through the
crowd and lifted into the sleigh.
Ivan Tambor-for it was he-shouted
20 the driver, and before Maurice could
recover breath to SPEAK the sleigh had
passed out Ct TIE s3care, ard the horses
were galloping swiftly tErCugh the
crowded street.
Maurice turned to the Russian
"What did you do that for?" he ex-
claimed Indignantly.
Ivan Tambor stared him full in the
eyes, with an expression on his face that
made Maurice shiver.

Little did Maurice imagine when he

upon future events.

when they reached Vladimir Saradoh's
mansion, and the dim, cOppery sun was
slanting on tho gilded domes and cross
es of the imperial city.
Dinner was served in solitary state, a
fitting accompaniment TO the magniii-
cence which the boys had just witnessed.
Walters attired in European full dress
supplied them with curious Russian
dishes, and all the while Ivan Tambor
stood motionless in a corner of the room.
"His excellercy your uncle wishes

are obviously impracticabe. while the prin-

that In five cases the principals have been
sentenced to imprisonment or are In prison;
that in one case the vessel Is under British
Jurisdiction, and cannot, therefore, be
reached by the United States, while the
principal has been sentenced to imprison-
three cases the vessels have been libeled for

this department, and are awaiting the ac

the libel on the vessel was dismissed by
the United States district judge that in
one case the question of instituting proceed
ingS is under consideration; that in one case
the department asks time for a further in
vestigauon.
The case of the Silver Heels is included,
as the vessel may have been successful.
though nothing has been heard of her since
her departure six weeks ago; she may have
persisted in the severe storm a few days
however, 1t Is to be observed that the col
lector at New York reports that Mr.. Hand
representing the Spanish consul, stated to
him that he did not desire the vessel de-
tanned at dock, but seized after departure
thereTrom. Mr.. Hand and Mr.. Thornhill
stated that they proposed that the Pinker-
ton detective agency have the watching of
the pier and they would advise the United
states marshal promptly of the departure
of the slcop, and that they desired the mat
ter to be left in their own hands
Secretary Gage makes no estimate or the
cost involved, which has evidently been very
large, deeming the extent and results of the
work performed by the department better
oaths and better standard by which to
measure their efficiency
