he is bound to do by the ruling of the
court, Notwithstanding the rules govern
ing the business of stock brokerage,
and the senate is bound to insist upon
his furnishing the desired Information
In the interest of his own honor.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
is very apt to hit the bull's-eye when he
speaks. He thus remarked on this sub
ect In the senate:
1t seems to me that we are not after
Chapman; the original investigation was
not intended to punish Chapman, but to
discover whether any sci ator on this
floor had been guilty of using his official
position to make money by speculating
in stocks which were Influenced by his
action as senator on the committee
which reported the tariff bill.
There are today, in the newspapers of
this country, charges floating about and
being sent broadcast, signed by cores
pondents in the gallery, to the effect that
last week, when the new tariff bill was
reported with a change in the sugar
schedule, three senators had speculated
In sugar stock. We have another stencil
on our hands, and instead of it being a
ditterential in favor of the trust OF a
third of a cent, as that was, 1t is now
two-thirds in favor of the trust.
There are two correspondents who
have over their own signatures charged
that senators have speculated within the
last week and made money. Now, If
you want to investigate, you have new
reason to investigate. If you intend to
get at the true inwardness of the matter,
to get at the truth and to punish those
who are guilty, say so and do so, or
else hush. That is the whole sum and
substance of it. We do not want
Chapman. We want Havemeyer. We
want the man who bought your men,
if they were bought. That is what we
are here for, and now let the senator
who has moved to refer the matter and
who cares for the reputation of the SEN
ate as much as any other man take the
resolution to his committee and bring
back a measure here that will mean
something.

senseless on the floor. and the troops
swarmed unresisted into the cellar.
The boys were too dazed to think of
defense. Overcome by the crushing
weight of this terrible misfortune, they
witnessed Platoff's heroic charge, saw
him fall, stunned and bleeding, and
then submitted without word to the
rough usage of their captors
Bound hand and foot, they were
taken up stairs and placed ON the floor.
The doors and windows were opened,
and huge fire kindled in an open
CRATE. The blaze shone on the trium-
phant faces of the Cossacks within and
cast gray CLEANS on the guards pacing
outside in the rain. No need now for
that long Gordon of troops whose camp
fires were blazing along six miles Of
coast. At one stroke the campaign had
ended.
The traitor Daroman was missing,
and Maurice searched in vain for his
familiar countenance. The cause of his
treachery was only too plain. The ad-
verse circumstances which confronted
the fugitives, the want of food, the en-
comprising soldiers, the wind dashed
waters of the harhor that made escape
impossible at present, his own igno-
rance of swimming-all these things
made him hopeless and respondent.
He feared capture, and capture in
such company would only make his
punishment the worse. Then the loop
hole of escape appeared. He would slip
away, surrender himself to the first
Russian officer he could find and dis
close the whereabouts of the three es-
capped convicts, on whose head a heavy
price was set Surely this service would
offset the misdemeanor that had made
him fugitive from his own govern
ment.
He would be pardoned, probably re-
stored to his rank and position. So he
doubtless reasoned and so he acted. The

THE : SUNDAY : LIGHT.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1897,

"In two days. or three at the most
we will reach Vladivostok, I" said Cap
tain Daroman 1--WE must get along as
best we can until then. We have weap-
ons, it is true, but it would be unwise
to make use of them.
"We have money also, " said Platoff,
jingling the belt of rubles, but 1t
might as well be so much dirt for all
the good it can do us.
sit will come of use, though, later
on, he added. "a hundred rubles will
be strong temptation to some ship
captain in the harbor of Vladiyostok. "
Then before it grew dark he set some
snares in the forest, though with little
hope of trapping anything. But the
morning brought with it apleasing sur
prise. The despised snares contained
one rabbit, the other a bird. A fire was
kindled, and the game was cooked and
eagerly devoured This afforded strength
for another days journey, and late IN
the afternoon they stopped on the banks
of narrow stream.
With some loose stones Platof con-
structed rude triangular dam across a
shallow part of the channel, leaving a
narrow aperture in the center. AT this
place he held rude net made from the
lining of his coat, while Maurice and
Phil, entering the stream some yards
above, waded slowly down toward the
dam, beating the water on each side with
sticks In this way dozen nice fish
were procured, sufficient for supper that
night and breakfast the following morn
ing. Poussin had given them some salt,
and Maurice had fortunately held on to
the bottle of red pepper; so, with the
aid of these condiments, the fish were
quite palatable.
. They travelled that day with increased
caution and halted when the sun was
low in deep valley.
All were visibly excited. One more
march-less perhaps-would bring them
to Vladivostok. They forgot for the
moment what yet lay before them-per,
lis to appall the stoutest heart.
Bidding his companions remain hid
den in the bushes, Platoff climbed up
the steep hill to the eastward, hoping to
gain sight of the distant sea, but the
horizon was dimmed by misty gray
clouds, and he returned disappointed.
