ODE Mystery Of GraslOv
BY Ashley Towne
A Tale Growing Out of the Adventures
of Three Americans Connected With the
Building of the Great Trans Siberian Ry.
Copyright. 1901. by Charles B. Etherington.

Princess Alexandra, who married your
elder brother"
II think you are mistaken" said Nesle-
row "You surely must have seen Alex
andra.''
"Yes, when a mere infant. 1t is only
from other portraits that I recognize her.
She was very beautiful. Oh, what ter
rible sorrow to her! To lose her child,
heir to fine estate and princely title,
and then close her own life, SO young, with
the horrible mysterySstill unsolved as to
whether she died Of grief and broken
heart or by the hand Of an enemy. Oh,
that mystery of Graslov Will it ever be
solyed!'
II fear not" said Neslerov solemnly
II did not know you had this picture, -
said Olga. ut is much finer than any we
have at home. It was done by master
hand" ........
1T was assented Neslerov.
The painting had saddened Olga, and
she passed on, making no more of her
laughing criticisms.
She soon returned to her rooms, where
her attendant was awaiting her. The
woman's face was pale, and she seemed
to be struggling with emotion Olga
stood before her, with a peculiar light IN
her eyes.
"Therese," she said, "an oil painting OF
my unfortunate cousin, Princess Alexan-
dra, hangs in Nesleroy's own ROOM
what" gasped the woman, starting
up. Then, as some strange terror over
came her, she shudered, and with the
whispered cry, 1--WE are lost!' she fell to
| the floor unconscious.

Checker Chatter.

Alex D: Robertson, a former Minneapolitan
and an all-around good checker player, is now
resident of Sandstone, Mimi. and has al
ready established reputation as champion
of the county.
The following beautiful little problem by
George Slocum has puzzled many player in
days past: Black, 10, II, Is; king, 9. White

has already finished 412 games with all grades
of players without a single loss.
While in St. Louis at the Lindell Hotel, a
friend of the game, who is not player, saw
a book with the title of Checkers" He
asked the newsdealer in a careless way if he
was surprised to hear that that book was the
best seller on the stand. He bought a copy
with the idea of pleasant surprise for his
friends in the east, who doubtless had no idea
OF the wonderful popularity Of the game in
St. Louis. When he discovered that Check
ers'' the title, but not the subject of the
book as a game, he disposed of the book and
finally gave away the joke.
Startling strokes s:lch used to character
ize many of the games between flrst-class
experts seldom found in the match play
of the good ones nowadays.
During the Jordan-Barker meeting Heffner
found time to remark: The second section of
this match is devoted entirely to Ills and all
possible replies. That looks to me like a
concession to popular opinion regarding the
strength of that opening move, and if had
been one Of the players would have proposed
to transfer the honor from 11-15 to 10 To-" All
smiled, but no one attempted to- combat this
expression of the Kelso king. Ian
Jordan will soon have another opportunity of
defending his title, providing he will visit
America. Barker is not the man selected to
solve the problem this time.

He shesitated. He knew that she was

the winning beauty Of Olga conquered and

Nicholas of having murdered her. It was
not proved and was not tried. The two
branches remained at feud. The old duke
died and Prince Nicholas entered into his
inheritance, but he has not used the title,
probably out Of consideration for the feel
ings of his relatives.
Nov we come down to. the present
day. It was openly charged py some OF
the other Neslerovs that the servants of
the house Of Graslov We're involved, and
it was thought at one time that certain
others not of the household knew some
thing Among these was the family of an
lironworker, Michael Paulpotf consisting OF
himself, his wife and a child. But the
Paulpoffs disclaimed all knowledge, and
were so stupid and innocent-looking that
they were dropped from consideration. But
it seems that an enmity has long existed
in their obscure minds against, the gov
ernor, and they have been secretly work
ing to fasten the murder Of Princess Alex
.andra upon him. Whether they knew
anything at the time or whether some one
dying told them, l do not know. Certain
it is that they have some knowledge they
will use against our governor. They We're
sent to Siberia and were unable to work
at the mystery. But this accursed Ameri-
can came and was interested. He swore
he would fasten this murder upon Mes
leroy because Neslerov had loved that
American girl, daughter of Gordon, the
engineer. Now you see why the Ameri-
can, Denton, and the powerful young
blacksmith were arrested, and why, even
though in the dungeons, nothing more
can be done until this princess leaves.
Neslerov declares he is innocent, but the
power and influence of her family, II

and the Paulpoffs, might destroy him

eyes, perfectly Neslerov is ours, and
we are his. We must be loyal. Let the
prisoners remain in the dungeons until
we are free to act. Then-well, even now
we might forget to send them food
"That, Unsgethop, is the very idea. The
princess will dance merrily upon this
| floor while they starve to- death on the

The two police officers chuckled, and
Olga, having learned enough, crept back
to her room. She was passing through
the upper corridor when she was startled
by the shadow as of a man.

The SiciIian Defense.

When Black wishes to avoid familiar king
side attacks, beginning with 1-P to K4. he
commonly tries one of three defenses-the
French, the Petrof or the Sicilian The ad-
vantage thus derived lies in this. that he
avoids the attack which may be his opponents
defense which may be his own speciality. In
this manner he keeps the game on his own
familiar ground, notwithstanding that White,
through the advantage of the first move, is
supposed to have the privilege of selecting the
battle ground and campaign formation and
naming the weapons.
Blacks drawback is that White, in the case
of either Of the above defenses,. Is apt to get
a slightly freer development. II. N. Pills
bury, in answer to a query put to him by
the writer some time ago, unhesitatingly ad-
vised the young player to meet Whites attack
by the regular defenses, rather than attempt
eyasions by means of the French, Petroff or
the regular defenses gave Black the freer
and more equal development. 1t Is noticeable
that Pillsbury himself, also Lasker seldom
play the French, Petrof or Scilian in tourney
games-unless we except ,Pillsbury's inclina-
ton to experiment with the Petrof and an
occasional Siciian by Lasker. On the other
hand, there is also excellent precedent IN
favor of the employment of either of the de-
lenses named, and especially during the past
few years. 1t is largely a matter of individ-
ual temperament and preference. and mas,
much as the less PLAYED and less analyzed

COMMENT.
Trick 2-South leads from his four trumps
for his immense spade suit, which ne does
not dare show before Leading MS tpu naS
while bold, is certainly justihable, North
having the queen turned
remaining, a five-card suit, headed by the
queen and jack and the singleton ten Of
spades. The lead of the club, which was
made, would be considered advisable by most
players, but again it is disputed by Others
and the editor of b J urna is GER
tain that the ten of spades must be chosen
for the lead by players who study the stu
alton, because: First, the south hand has
led from four trumps, which are only headed
by the jack, and that, too, in the face of an
established heart suit: consequently, there
which can only be that he has big, practi-
cally established suit that he is working to
make. Second, because, if souths suit is
also clubs, it can be brought in at any time
with the assistance of the three long trumps,
even If South holds neither ace or king, but
if his suit should happen to be spades, which
make unless it is either a solid suit or that
South holds a re-entry in clubs. Again, as
North holds five clubs, he cannot hope to get
q discard of either his heart or spade on any
spade lead can hardly lose under any circum-
stances, as it must be led or. be led to at
some time during the hand. -..-
The play of South in trumping the club is
of some question, although it looks as though
the chances for dropping the queen of spades
were very good as he has seven in the suit.
