Making of CeIIuIitb

Cellulith is substance produced by
a long and continuous beating of
wood pulp. 1t is transparent and
elastic, hardening slowly until it at
tains the consistency of horn, its spe-
ciic gravity being about AS. The
cellulith may be worked as is horn
or ebonite. Combined with sawdust
and 80 per cent. lampblack, the result
is a Kind of dark ebonite; this is
dense and may be po4ished.--Science.

Both the Russian and the English
secret service authorities maintain
discreet silence as to the whereabouts
of the beautiful Olga Skobensky. L
have heard of a story which tells of a
nihilist princess being immured at
Cronstadt, who was made every day to
smoke from a box containing 90 ordi-
nary cigarettes and one that she had
placed, on a former occasion, in my
gold case. A day came on which she
chose this particular cigarette, and
the memory of the chief of the Ninth
section was avenged. Instead of being
blamed for my imprudence [ was re-
warded far beyond my deserts. Prince
Sergius gave me the Order OF st. An

Il could have sworn Paul filled it
for me this morning; however, I must
be abstemious for little" he said.
Immediately the ambassador and I
presented our cases.
His imperial highness chose a cigar
cite from each. Il will smoke the am
bassador's first, and then yours, Sir
Georges" and nodding his thanks he
sauntered off with his companion.
"Have a cigarette, and act up 10

helped myself from his case, and rn-
ciprocated by giving him one from
the gold case that Princess Olga had
filed for me.
We walked along in silence for few
minutes, when Clough suddenly sur
prised me by saying: Il have noticed
the careful watch that you and the
detectives have kept on my move
ments ever since the prince landed,
and have drawn my own conclusions
as to what you know or guess. You
need not be afraid of me, though,
Fraser; I told Olga yesterday that I
refused to be party to assassination;
she wanted me to offer cigarettes,
containing powerful explosive, to
the prince"
Fortunately small stream runs
through Lord Selven's grounds. With
out stopping to explain, [ snatched
the half-smoked cigarette from
Clough's mouth and flung it into the
water. Then 1 tore off to where l had
left the prince, cursing my folly as I
ran.
Until Clough's speech, the bare pos
sibility of such an atrocious and cow
ardly method of assassination had
never occurred to me. Now, 1 did not
doubt that the cigarettes in my gold
case (as was afterwards proved con-
tanned an explosive substance calcu-
lated to cause instant death to the
smoker as soon as the burning ash
touched it. Princess Olga's cunning
in placing harmless cigarettes in my
silver case, well knowing that would
smoke these first, had duped me COM
pletely, and her plot would have been
only too successful if Capt. Clough
had not been induced to confess to me
the secret under which he labored.
[ shall never forget that two min
utes' race along the turf of Selven
park. The life of Prince Sergius and
the honor of Great Britain depended
on my speed, while siclening horror
clutched at my heart telling me that,
perhaps, I was already too late; at
that moment the prince might be ly-
ing dead under the oak trees, killed,
unwittingly, by the hand of him who
had been appointed his guardian and
protector.
How that fend of woman must
have chuckled when she made me the
design.
These thoughts lent wings to my
feet, and ] arrived, painting and
breathless, before his imperial high
ness just as he was putting a match
to the paper tube of death.
Stop, your hlghness, stop! L cried,
and, relieved at the prevention of the
catastrophe, I stammered out an ex-
planation of my seeming impertinence.
you came just in time, Sir George"
remarked Prince Sergius, patting me
affectionately on the back as [ con-
cluded. "Another three minutes and
1 should have smoked Princess Olga's
cigarette.
