SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers Of The EN-
oU1RER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Count Boris Landrinof, young Rus
sian student at Oxford, receives tele-
gram from his mother that his father,
Count Vladimer Landrinof, is miss
ing and asking him to return to Rus
sia at once. Before starting for. home
tells him that he saw his father that very
day i'm London. Boris, on arriving in
Russia, finds that his father had gone to
the railway station, but had not taken a
train. Here the trail was lost. Boris
learns from peasant that he had driven
three men to post station. Percy ar
riyes in Russia, and he and Boris inter-
view the master of the post station and
are told that the postmater drove the
party referred to to st. Petersburg. Percy
and Boris direct him to drive them to
where he left the party, and he drives
them to the Landrinof residence. Bo-
rofsky, detective, is employed, and it is
decided that Percy shall return to London
and endeavor to obtain photograph OF
the man resembling the missing count.
Percy secures the photograph, which
greatly resembles the count. The count
ess then tells her son that her father had
a brother who fell into criminal ways.
Borofsky goes to London for the purpose
of bringing back the man who resembles
Count Landrinof. Borofsky follows his
man, who endeavors 10 elude him. They
have an interview, and the man agrees 10
return with him to Russia. Borofsky ana
the supposed count return. Boris does
NOT believe that the latter is his fathers
brother, Andrew Landrinoff. The man
JAndre) pretends never to have heard OIL
the counts criminal brother. Andre. IS
visited by shabby student. Boris fol
lows the student, who, perceiving that ne
is sshadowed, endeavors to escape by cross
ing a frozen river. The ice breaks, the
student falls into the water and is rescued
by Boris. Boris demands. information OF
his father of the student and to secure IL
takes him home and entertains him as
guest. The student admits that he pos
sesses the required information and de-
mands money for it.. Boris agrees to pay
and be to accept {, 900 rubles. The student
tells him that Andre was Siberian prls-
oner; that he escaped and came to st.
Petersburg; that the police were tracking
him when plot was concocted to palm
the real Count Landrinoff as the escaped
prisoner. The plan was successfully car
ried out aud the count was arrested and
sent to Siberia. 1t now becomes prob
lem how to convince the police of their
mistake. Boris interviews the chief of
the division who arrested his father but
meets a rebuff. Returning home, Boris
finds that the chief has visited his house.

Borofsky gulped down his dose and
began.
"When I entered that raving ma
MACS room," he said, "the fellow came
straight to me and took me by the
shoulders. You've given me away to
the police, you sneaking hound, he
muttered, and I'm going to kill you

"He loosened his hold on my collar
little, and I added that certainly had

aince happened which had altered the
conditions.
"'Yes,' he said, you have heard a
fools yarn as to the arrest Of Count
Landrinof, and go on. have had a
visit from the pristaf, who has told me
the whole silly tale. Can you believe
this kind of nonsensef'
"'Not L. said. wishing to concili-

You have done no good by it, friend.
The pristaf did the wisest thing he
could have done and came straight to
me. He is now convinced that I am
Landrinof and that my wife and son
have conspired, for reasons Of their
own, to get rid Of me by means Of this
clumsy plot. 1t will not succeed. Mean

"He wouldn't be such fool as that.

I, warningly, "for the fellows temper
is dangerous. Don't forget the Serpen-

Borofsky smiled wan smile. 1t was
not pleasant recollection for him.
81 think he'll be mild enough to-
night" he said.
But only half an hour later poor Bo-
rofsky surprised us by entering the
room suddenly and rapidly, as though
pursued, and by closing and locking the
door behind him. His tie and collar
were disarranged, his shirt front rum
pied; he looked, as Percy said after
ward, as though he had slept in his
clothes and had had restless night.
Borofsky sank into chair. he cross.
ed himself and muttered something, a
bit of prayer, in Russian.
"What is itf" we asked in breath.
"I've been nearly killed, he gasped.

"What is It, mani" we both ex-

"We must let that little wretch Of a

continued Botofsky, ignoring our re-
mark, "or he'A be murdered as sure as

"Do tell us what has happened, Bo-
rofsky," implored.
II was quite wrong in supposing that
he would play the cunning game. He
made no attempt to control his anger.

rogue for this and get him safely put
away in the mines, I'll never undertake
another case. I must tell you about it
in a few words. for positively no one
in the house is safe with that devil at
large, and. as for the student, I wouldn't t
insure him at cent per cent
"But surely be doesn't know the
students in the housed" exclaimed,
aghast.
"Well, that's what I want to tell
you," said Borofsky.

OWED HIS DINNER TO A BUGLE.-
While the United States steamer
Brooklyn is being repaired shore leave
is given in turn to patches of sailors.
One man, who lives in this city on the
East Side and who was allowed to re-
main with his family for two or three
days, invited shipmate to take din
ner with him last Sunday. Unfortu-
nately the shipmate lost the address,
and could remember only the name OF
the street. Reaching the street he
wandered up and down, asking every
other person he met if he know the
house where a sailor belonging to the

Brooklyn lived. None knew. The
man, nonplussed, was about to give
up the search, when he observed a
youth sitting on stoop amusing him
self with an old battered bugle. A
thought struck the sailor.
"Lend me that minute" he said
to the young man, as he grasped the
horn. Putting it to his lips he sounded
with all his might the dinner call of
the Brooklyn. Sure enough, two or
three seconds late, from a window not
so yards away, head was thrust, and
d strong, lusty voice called out: "Ship
ahoy! Full speed ahead up here.
Mess has been waiting halt an hour
for you."-New York Tribune.

CHAPTER XVIII.
THINGS BEGIN TO BUZZ.

TdlNGS BEGlN ~ bOLA.
Thinrs-as have taken the liberty
to translate Borofsky's Russian express
sion-did begin to buzz almost from
this moment.
Several exciting and very important
events took place during the next few
hours, but the chief actor in these, on
our side at least, was Borofsky, and it
is his movements that must now be
followed for little while, while I stand
aside as a mere narrator.
Borofsky became the principal actor
because be absolutely refused to allow
me to have any further dealings with
the student I did not know how to
manage the little wretch he declared
for I treated him as an equal. entitled
to consideration and respect. as an in
dividual to be accorded his share of the
rights and privileges of civilization, and
this was quite the wrong attitude to
take up with such people. The fellow
was an outlaw. he had lost his rights to
the blessings of citizenship, he was a
scavenger cur that came and fed by
night upon the offscourings Of society.
1t was ridiculous to treat such an iDdi-
vidual like decent Christian.
"Well, take him in hand" laugh
ed; "only don't squeeze his 5000 ru-
bles out of the poor wretch. He came
by that fairly enough!'
And so it happened that Iretired, for
the present, from the front line of the
fight, and allowed Borofsky to carry the
colors in my place. Borofsky lost no
time about boarding the wolf. He went
straight to the students room.
"Now," he said. young man, do
you know me!'
"Oh, yes, very well!" laughed the
student. 81 have heard of your marvel
ously pretty detective performance in
London. You are to be congratulated,
Mr.. Borofsky."
"Those are to be congratulated who
win the game" said Borofsky. 'You
have earned 5000 rubles, hear; so
far, then, it is you that are to be con-
graduated. "
THANK you, said the student. "Re-
serve the congratulations until l have
finished; then the same Fluctuations will
do for the whole of my exploits. shall
pocket another 5, 900 tonight!'
Indeed! From whom and for what
service?"
"From the young count. But l do not
discuss my wares before l bring them
to market. "
"But maybe I am, after all, the mer-
chant with whom it will be necessary to
deall" said Borofsky.

of such goods as I have to sell must

"No others-not oneH"
"Certainly not.
"Come, think again; that is surely a
mistake. Andre is not the only con-
spirator.

flushed Then he laughed.

So for verify the net was closing round
him, as we hoped and believed it, and
he was not the kind of man to remain
in fools paradise Of security when the
danger signal had Eeen sounded. We
laid our plans carefully for the morrow.
We felt that this would be an impor-
tant day for us and for the great object
we had in view-namely, my dear ia

There were three things to be done
first, the students passport must. be
begged, borrowed or stolen, and he
himself safely dispatched. Secondly, the
police must he warned Of the devil
work in progress on the railway. We
should 20 straight to the chief of police
himself about this and persuade him
to wire the depot nearest to the spot to
send a party of inspection. Should there
prove to be truth in the students tale,
we should have no difficulty in attain
ing our third and chiefest object-An-
dre's arrest Even if he escaped, the au-
thorities would scarcely venture to con-
test our contention further-namely,
that Andre was an impostor and that
my poor father was now suffering fol-
another's g sins.
