some one offered $1,000. and the price il
a few bids rose TO the figure at which the
picture was sold.
Although details have been carefully
concealed and the lips Of all who have
been concerned in theh transaction are
sealed. IL is admitted that there has been
considerable friction over the attitude
Of Mr.. Verestchagin In exhibiting his
Napoleonic series in this country and
Offering them for sale at public auction.
instead Of allowing them to 90 direct

eminent.
Harry MacdOna. the artists attor-
ney. declined last evening TO discuss the
matter further than TO say that as a re-
suit OF negotiations the lot had been sold
for 500, 900 TO Count Cassini. and would
be returned at once 10 Russia. There is
a we'll founded report that in thus ap-
parently passing over the Cars head

artist has incurred the serious d spleas-
ure OF the head OF the great empire. but
on this phase Of the matter all concerned
are more than reticent.

rapid travelling out Of the question. At
the end OF that period Sandon and his
companions found they had covered but
$50 miles, and we're still an equal dis
tance from Vladivostok. They now rare
ly met travellers, for it was the season
Of the year when journeying by sledge
or wagon is equally impossible. and
from present indications 1t would take
them three weeks or a month to cover
the brief distance remaining.
But on the last night Of March a
cheering change came. They were stop
ping at a post station on the Ussuri.
and when Sandoff rose early. as was his
wont, and went out into the courtyard
TO see how Shamariu and ZamOsc had
fsred. he found the air bitterly cold. and
the river. which had partly broken up
on She previous day, ice bound from
bank to bank. The post road. as far as
the eye could reach. was smooth, hard
and CLASSY.
No time was lost in starting. and as
the fresh relay OF horses bounded for
ward under loose rein, with the sledgc
training lightly behind them, Sandon
turned to his companions and cried ex-
/ ultingly. 'Hurra. We are safe, This
! cold spell won't last, but It Will be suffi-
cient TO carry us to Vladivostok-or
nearly there. for I've no intention OF en-
tering the town. We will make no more
stops. and by tomorrow night we ought
to reach our journeys end"
At noon a village Of some size was
reached, Riga by name. and here the
passports Of the travellers we're demand
ed by a bearded Russian officer who
/ stopped the sledge before the military
post In the center OF the town.
He glanced over the document with
| sudden interest. whispering to several
companions standing near, and then
handed it back TO Sandon
IF your exceilency wishes a good
hotel" he said. Il can direct you tc
one-or perhaps you would prefer the
hospitality Of the barracks? The best
we have IS at your service. Our com
mander. Colonel Nord. is absent. but
Will return before evening"
sandon looked doubtfully at the
speaker, with dim suspicion that some
thing was wrong.
Give my best regards 20 Colonel
Nord," he said celmly. Tell him that
am in haste, and must 90 on to the next
station"
The officer was plainly taken aback
by this answer. He looked at SandoH
and then al his companions. who were
no less surprised. From his nest Of rugs

faint chuckle that no one heard
Sandoff bowed with dignity 20 the officer

eagerly. He IS talking to his COM
ranions and pointing. Now the Cossacks
are coming out OF the military post-a
dozen OF them. People are running from
their houses TO see what is the matter. -
