CHAPTER xXx1II.
THE CAPTURE OF ANDRE.

There was no difficulty in obliging
the chief on this point. My father had,
once broken his right leg below the
knee and carried an unmistakable
memento of the experience in the shape
Of huge scar on his shin. l mentioned
this fact to the chief, who forthwith
declared that this should be amply suf-
6cient for Identification, and that he
would have my fathers whereabouts
ascertained and telegram sent with
out delay to the governor of his prison.
l fancy, but | will not absolutely as
sert it to be the case, that my threat to
take care the car should hear of the.
blunders of lis police force quickened
at any rate the desire of his excellence
to see justice done. Perhaps l am
wrong, but I cannot help feeling that
the chiefs tenure of his high Office
would not long have survived the dis
covery by the car of so we'll advanced
plot to assassinate him. AS matter
of fact the secret of this conspiracy
never leaked out, and it is practically
certain that the czar never heard of it,
So we three young men returned
home that afternoon well enough
pleased with our days work
What had we accomplished? | sat in
my own private study, adjoining my
bedroom, before retiring for the night
and counted up my gains was in a
fair way to get father restored to free
dom. There could be but one result to
the chiefs telegram. He must be iden-
titled at once and allowed to go free
That was the first and best point of all
Then we were rid of Andre 1t was
exceedingly unlikely that he would ever
favor us with his presence again-nay,
it was probable that the police would
put it out of the question by laying
hands upon him before he could escape
very far If they did SO, they would not
let him go again, poor wretch This
time his departure for the east would
be final
