"kilziar!" said Darrell.
He fell to studying. What might this
new turn of events mean to him? With
the mysterious Motman Khan he had
nothing to do, but kilZiar he would
have given much to see. for undoubted-
ly Vera's fate must In some way be
connected with this revolt Of the Cir
cassians. He even cherished the hope
that she might have escaped the snares
Of the Getchikoffs and have Joined the
revolutionists in the field. That, in
deed, would be bad enough. for the
power of the Russian government
could not be- overthrown. and the fate
of the leaders Of such q revolt would
surely be death. He had now triple

TIT For TAT.-Congressman Pue, OF
North Carolina, evidently believes In
fighting the devil with fire. He has
introduced a resolution into the house
which provides for raising a commit
mittee to inquire into the use of Doodle
in the presidential and congressional
elections of the last eight years. which
is clearly foil to the Crumpacker res
olution to investigate the elections in
the south, looking to the reduction of
southern representation in the house,

1t appeared upon investigation that
Francois could not be found, and upon
the back of this instructive incident the
police arrived in search Of Vera. Nat
urally they did not find her. Gordon
and Darrell lied with calmness and dig

vinced the officers, though those indl-
viduals had come with their minds full
of perfect certainty.
At the expiration Of fruitless hour

Presently Darrell went out to search
for Vera, and he returned after mid
night, having learned nothing. No
word came from her during the night
or the succeeding day.
Late in the afternoon both Gordon
and Darrell were summoned to the
police station Of the district and were
questioned closely. Like the boy who

Palma Left Cuba In Chains and
Returned as Ruler.
General Tomas Estrada Palma, pres
ident elect Of the Cuban republic, who
arrived on the steamer Admiral Far
ragut from Old Point Comfort, Va,
was greeted, says Gibara, Cuba, dis
patch of Tuesday, to the New York
Tribune, with great enthusiasm. Gil
baras population of 5000 was aug
mented by as many more who came
from all quarters Of the island, from
Havana to Santiago, to pay homage to
man they love.
When the steamer anchored in Gil
bara harbor a salute o. q guns greet
ed General Palma. His face bright
ened at the scene before him. How
different was his return to Cuba! He
left in chains and came back with his
path literally strewn with roses.
The harbor was a kaleidoscope Of
color and animation. From every
craft flew the flag Of Cuba libre and
the Stars and Stripes. Old friends who
had known General Palma in the ten
years war and had chared with him
the hardships and sufferings Of many
campaigns came on board and en-
braced him. Many were in tears. The
vessel was soon crowded with men,
bers Of committees, representing differ
ent cities, who came out in steamers
and launches, which were decorated
from stem to stern, from the mast to
the waterline. After. quarter Of an
hour Of informal talk, General Palma
and his party were taken ashore in a
launch. When he put his foot on the
pier there were rounds Of cheers by
natives as they crowded around their
lpresident-elect, which could have been
heard across the bay. Mayor Caspedes
spoke a few words Of welcome, then
proposed three cheers for the first
president Of the Cuban republic.
A procession was formed on the prin-
cipal street, whence the president
elect and members of the committee
were drawn in carriages by q score of
stalwart Cubans to the city hall. Ev-
cry place Of vantage along the route
was filled. Men, women and children
crowded and pushed to embrace and
shake the hand Of the veteran.
General Palma sat with barred head.
bowling in response to cheers. He was
deeply affected by the demonstration.
The ceremonies at the city hall consist
ed Of speechmaking by the mayor,
members Of the council, General Pal
ma and Gonzales de Quesada. Mayor
Caspedes spoke eloquently Of the graf
itude that the Cuban people owed to
General Palma, and the honor of being
the first to receive the first chief exec
utive of Cuba libre. His countrymen,
he said, trusted General Palma implic-
lily and would aid in every way toward
successful administration Of his Of
| flee.
General Palma afterwards held a
public reception, and was overwhelm-
ed with congratulations and good
wishes. He will resume his journey
Monday evening. Holguin will be his
next stopping place.

"And what then. Kevski"
Kevski shrugged his shoulders.
"Then we shall all be put to the
sword. You may not be, for Motman
Khan will not kill the prisoners. They
are mostly his own people. He will
give them all a chance to join bis
army"
Darrell heard this with leap OF the
heart. 1t was the chance he wanted.
It would bring him within the Circas'
sian lines s.nd give him an opportunity
to search for Vera among her mothers
people.
One day the booming Of heavy guns
was heard. and there was a commotion
in the walled city.
Kevski came to the dungeon pale
with terror.
"We are doomed" he cried. "There
will be no America for me. Motman
Khan Is attacking the city with his
army, and no help has come from STAY
ropol"
But we may escape and join Mot
man Khan," said Darrell.
"Furies Of hellr' cried Kevski. THAT
is the worst Of IT.! The commander OF
the city. General Stanovitch. has issued
orders to the captain Of the guard to
kill all the prisoners and put all the
prison guards under arms on the city
wall"
That's pleasant" said Darrell. Are
you to do the killing in my case"

say! Hear the trumpets! The captain
Of the guard is coming! There Is just

Of the veranda Darrell sat smoking
cigar and holding silent converse with
an unruly heart.
A servant had brought a soft felt hat
for Darrell to wear. but the young
man had tossed It down upon table
and had gone out bareheaded into the
warm spring evening. Some minutes
after Kilziar's departure Vera came to
the window through which Darrell had
passed to the veranda and looked out

Vera in the music room. but she was
not there, and as he turned to look
elsewhere the butler handed him note
written upon cheap paper. hastily fold,
ed. and sealed with great daubs of
wax. He tore it open and read: /:
The name OF the lady has been reported to the
police and immediate action will be taken. She
will probably be arrested as an accomplice in the
killing OF Ladslov. She is not seriously suspect

The note was unsigned. but the writ.

would like 10 see her here?" said Dar-
rell.
Vera had passed In that house as a
cousin Of the Miss Lorrimer who had
been q guest before her and had been
called by that name before the serv-
