what! Do you know her?'

'What! Do you know her?'
II met her at the great fair in Mos

While she talked she tried the key.

by one they dropped changing against
the wall, and Denton was free.
"Now, then" she said vladimir
Paulpof is here. Do you know how to
find him?''
mo; do not know where they put
him. I know it was not near me, for
have been calling him. I received no
answer"
1--WE cannot remain here in safety
much longer" she said '"The day.
light will bring activity in the palace.
Jansky, superintendent of police, is
lying drunk in his Office, and Itzig,
the guard, is also unconscious. The
superintendent will be discovered and
there will be an uproar. It will spoil
all if we are now discovered"
1--WE must make haste and find
Vladimir said Denton 81, do not
feel that we can leave him. If they
discover my absence, they may kill
him.
Find him if you can. If not, 1 must
watch over his welfare till you re-
turn"
Return! From Perm?'
mo. Perm is too far. l have work
ed to bring the denouement in the pal
ace. I have sent a message to the
governor general at Tobolsk. I have
with me woman whose testimony is
worth millions. All we need now is
what Papa Paulpoff can tell us. You
must bring him.
II will"
He tried to find some clew to the
place where Vladimir was incarcer-
ated, but there was nothing to guide
him.
II cannot find him, and 1 believe he
is safer than you will be if Neslerov
traps you here. Neither you nor will
ever get out alive. We must leave
him.
''Then come, and may God give him
his protection till we can give him
justicey'
They hurried to the stairs. The door
was relocked, the iron key hung in
it's accustomed place and the door to
the guardroom unbolted. The halls
were still lighted by the brilliant
lamps of the fete, though daylight was
coming on. But there was no one
stirring.
"Quickv' said Olga. Let us under
stand each other. Therese, who is
here as my attendant, is the widow Of
a servant of the Graslov household
loyal to the old duke. She is willing to
tell the truth. Has Paulpoff spoken?'
Eyes. He told me all, and I was
about to start for Perm with the por-
trait of Princess Alexandra when 1
was arrested by Jansky and brought
here.''
"And now you are free! Why did
you take this interest in the mystery
of Graslov?'
Because" he answered after slight
pause, Miss Gordon, whom 1 have
known for a long time loves Vladimir,
and think Vladimir loves her."
"Ah," she exclaimed, peering at him
closely, land for her-for her sake
you wanted to publish-the truthY'
"Yes, and for his sake Also"
''Then he is not the only one who
loves her, this American GIRL" she said.
His face became flushed, but he did
not answer.
'Now co." she said. "Find Paulpof
and bring him here. You know where
he is"
HE is still in the hut at Tivoloffsky,
If Jansky has not spirited him away"
'"Then look for him there, and if he
is gone the governor general will help
us find him. Oh, I wish De Muloff
would GOMEZ!
She sped into Jansky's room and re-
placed the keys in his pocket Then,
returning, she said:
"God bless you! Help me establish
the truth, and the gratitude Of the Ne
slerovs will be yours
'You may count on me-" he answered
as he passed through the palace door.
II will bring old Paulpoff to tell the
TRUTH
