Stalwart Russian blacksmith. She
asks NeslerOv to use his influence for
Vladimir. u-Ncslerov goes to Vail
dimir's hut. The blacksmith has
talent and shows Nerlerov picture
he has painted. 1t is the portrait OF
Il woman Of rank copied from II min
iature. The prince is excited and
asks for the original. Naldimirs fa-
ther says it has been lost. TO Naldi-
mir old Paulpoff cOnfesses that he
lied to NeslerUv and still has the
PaulpOffs sent to Siberia as nihilists.
IN.-FranceS Gordon goes to the
forge with books for Vladimir. At
the door of the lonely hut she en-
counters Neslerov The prince presses
his suit violently. and Frances stuns
him with n pistol shot in the head.
N.-Gordon wishes his daughter to
marry Jack Denton, an American
bridge engineer. Frances demands
that her father intercedc with the
governor for Vladimir. They start
for Obi. NeslerOv boards the same
train. which breaks in two, and Nes-
lerOv has Frances alone in his power.
NI-Neslerov drags Frances before
n priest and bids him to perform n
marriage cerem Ony. Jack Denton
comes to the rescue. NeSlerOv is
beaten off. VII.-Denton nearly
kills Neserov in a duel. NllI.-Jack
promises Frances to save the black
smith. IN.-Jack repairs n disabled

to recover the original of Nladimir's
picture from the paulpOffs; also to
put Denton out of the way, secretly.

THE PRINCESS OLGA.


~A HE train from Moscow came
snortiug and screaming into
the station, and among the
passengers. mostly officers and
convicts or men connected with the
railway. were two women. one or
these was about fifty years of age,
thin and subducd in appearance. and
her face bore the marks of suppressed
anxiety. The other WAS scarcely more
than Il girl-twcnty at most-nut her
carriage was noble and her entire ap-
Dearance that of one born to command.
Her lovely face and well shaped head
rose above A collar of ermine, although
it was not WiAter.
'"ro the palace of Noslerov, governor
of Tomsk," she said to Il drosky
driver. and she and her companion
were soon on the way.
Ncslerov was ut dinner when Il Serv-

from the table. He had improved much
in the last few days, and his face wore

Princess Olga gave start, but re-
covered her composurc.
"Go on" she said. "Tcll me all"
1T seems there is an AmcricHn-l do

"And-whcn Vladimir and his parents
were sent to Siberia Ncslcrov took the
painting:'
Yes. Vladimir is talented. as YOU

Then Vladimir must be near this
place
