IA AIT MUKDEN.

st. Petersburg, October 7.-:10 a. m.
The war commission sat until an unu-
sually late hour tonight, out adjourned
without issuing additional news from
the front.
Expert opinion is divided as to wheth-
er a serious engagement is likely to oc-
cur at Mukden, but the dispatch from
that city reporting an unusual activity
there, gives rise to much speculation.
1t is impossible TO say whether this
condition presages the evacuation of
Mukden, but in any case it is evident
that something of unusual interest is
impending. Some evenfare bold enough
to AXE it that General Kuropatkin is
preparing to assume the offensive; but
in view of the facts hat most reliable
advices credit him with only about
six divisions at MukGen, this is exceed
ingly improbable.
1t is thought more likely that the
commotion had to do with one or otner
Of the Japanese thanking columns,
which the Russian commander may
ave been preparing to check
ACTIVITY ALONG THE OUTPOSTs.

Nothing beyond skirmishing between

CHAPTER XXI.
FROM A WINDOW ABOVE.


"\HE longest month in Lorry's
life was that which followed
his romantic fight from the
tower. To his impa hent mind
the days were irksome weeks. The cold
monastery was worse than q prison.
He looked from Its windows as con-
yict looks through his bars, always
hoping. always disappointed. With
each OF the infrequent visits Of Cap.
tain Quinnox his heart leaped at the
prospect OF liberty. only to sink deeper
in despair upon the receipt Of emphatic
though kindly assurances that the time
had not yet come for him to leave the
haven of safety into which he had been
thrust by loving hands.
The prior was kind to him. Every.
thing that could be done to provide
comfort where comfort was n stranger
was employed In his behalf. He lived
well until his appetite deserted him.
He had no questions to answer. for no
one asked why he was there; he had
no danger to fear, for no foe knew
where lie lived. From the city came
the promise Of ultimate escape, verbal
messages from those who loved him.
news of the world-nll Mt long inter-
walls, however. Quinnox's visits were
like sunbeams to him. The dashing
captain came only at night and In dis
guise. He bore verbal messages, a
wise precaudon against mishap. Not
once did he bring word of love from
the princess. an omission which caused
the fugitive deep misery until ray OF
intelligence showed him that she could
not give to Quinnox the speeches from
her heart, proud woman that she was.
Anguish sent words OF cheer, with
commands to be patient. He never
failed to tell him through Quinnox that
he was doing all in his power to find
the real murderer and that he had the
secret cooperation Of the old police
captain. OF course the hidden man
heard Of the reward and the frenzied
search prosecuted by both principali-
tes He laughed hyterically over the
deception that was being practced by
the blue eyed. slender woman who held
the key to the situation in her keeping.
1t was not until the night OF the 18th
of November that Quinnox confirmed
his fears by telling him OF the condi-
lions imposed by Prince Bolaroz. For
some reason the young officer had de-
ceived Lorry in regard to the all i'm
portant matter. The American repeat
eddy had begged for Information about
the fatal goth, but on all previous occa-
sions his visitor doggedly maintained

knew nothing of the circumstances.
