CHAPTER X.
A STRANGE DISCOVERY.

The news went out that the
Count Conrad Damonoff must die.
A few DAYS before the best surgeon
in Moscow said he would recover,
but now that same surgeon said he
must fall. A strange change had
come over him. 1t was not fever,
but, rather, consuming of vitality.
He was failing fast, and no art OF
medicine could revive him. Some
thought he must be bleeding inward
ly, but others knew better than this:
because in that case there would be
some outward symptom The wound
itself was healing, but the disease
was not. The physician and the
priest were now in daily, and the
former almost in hourly, attend
ance. The surgeon was kopanl,
and the priest was the humpbacked
Savotano.
Thus lay the count upon his bed,
weak and FAINT, but at present al
most free from pain, and an old wo-
man was his only attendant, the
priest having just left. 1t was Just
after noon. The dying man had
just taken powerful stimulating
draft. though it was against the IN
functions OF the priest, as he sald
that bv such means the Invalid
might die bereft of sense and thus
lose his hold upon salvation. Hc
had just taken this draft when there
was low rap upon the door. The
woman arose to answer the sum
mons. She conversed few mo-
ments with the girl who had knock
cd, and when she returned to the
bed she announced that Ruric Ne

Some years before there had been
a murder in Moscow, and Savotano
did the bloody deed. 1t was work
of pure vengeance. Olga had him
appreEcnded, but he was not
brought TO justice. The duke found
him to be a shrewd, unscrupulous
wretch, willing to serve those who
would pay him well and ready to let
himself then to any one who could
save his life. Olga was man OF
plots and schemes. He fancled that
such u man as Savotano might be
of use 20 him, so he proposed to
save him if he would serve his benc-
factor. The villain was glad enoash
to accept the proposition. ana the
bargain was made. Could Savotano
enter the church and assume the
sacred .urb he might in many cases
work to better advantage. The
wretch readily agreed to this tco,
and through Olgas powerful lnilu-
ence he gained q place in the church.
He knew that TIC duke held his very
life. a.d he failed not to serve him.
His clerical robes shielded Em from
much suspicion, and, moreover, the
place gave him additional advan-
tages to work at his diabolical trade.
His salary from the government was
sufficient for his support, while an
occasional sum from his master en-
abled him to enjoy many Of those
luxuries which were denied to most
of his brethren. Olga feared not to
trust this man, for the fellow had
nothing to gain by betrayal, but ev-
erything to lose
And such was the man who now
entered the dukes private room.
He entered with a bold air, tor,
though he was somewhat IN the
dukes power, yet there was pecul-
lar satisfaction Ii KNOWN bat

" At the Picket Line"

At the Picket Line" a five-act war
drama, was given before large audi
enCe in Grange hall last evening under
the auspices of Grange Dramatic club
and under the direction of Messrs
Strock and Evans, who took the lead
ing parts. Strock and Evans were
supported by local talent, and most of
the support was exceedingly good
The play itself was nothing to boast
of, and the acting of the two profes,
SIGNALS was far less pleasing than that
of the local actors, all of whom were
more or less talented. Alison Dugan in
the part of Albert Cherrington, the
hero, made the most of a rather trying
part and created a favorable impress
sion. Fred Greasy as the william was
given an ovation on his first appear
ance and was frequently applauded for
his excellent work. John Clune as
Sergeant O'Stout, f. Nj. Goodenough
as Hiram Lufkin, and A. f. Miller as
Dumpy furnished the fun of the even
ing, and a large part of the plays sue.
cess was due to their efforts. The
feminine roles We're acceptably taken
by Miss Bessie Hopkins, Miss Daisy
Wells and Mrs. s. w. Edwards. Be
tween the acts the audience was
amused with local specialties, the best
of which was the selections by the
Rosebud mandolin and banjo club.

The appointment of NJ. E. Baxter as
postmaster in Marlboro was announced
in a despatch from Washington yester-
day.
The amount of taxes to be raised in
Brattleboro this year cannot be told with
eXactness at present but the approximate
amount may be deduced from the follow
ing: The town grand list is s4s,s93 50.
The tax rate, including town, state, spe-
cial, etc.. is rs per cent, which, figuring
exemptions, will raise $S4 9S2.47. The vii
lage grand list is sS7,21S95, and the rate
40 per cent, which, with exemptions, will
raise Sl4,SS6.04. The town school grand list
is ll,49l.46, and the rate 80 per cent
which, with exemptions. will raise
sS,iiS2S. The incorporated school dis
trict grand list is S35,074l3 The rate
probably will be either 60 or 65 per cent
At GO cents the school tax will be s2l,-
O44.4S. The total of these four amounts
is S4S61.22.
