again he exclaimed: my God, It is
a woman! Men, men! to the rescued"
The soldiers waited no longer. The
fact that a woman was in danger
seemed to awaken all that was manly
in their natures and they rushed to
the rescue.
Another moment and 1t would have

halted for a moment. and gave a long
howl of rage. Another volley checked
another forward movement. Alexis
staggered along with his burden.
Two of the soldiers sprang to his
side.
The doors of the etape were thrown
open.
In another moment, bruised and
bleeding and faint, Alexis Nazimoff
staggered into the room; the courier
held out his arms to receive the sense

with a sigh Of unutterable relief,
breathed a prayer of thanks, and then
as he gave the courier the woman
whose life he had saved his brain

his knees trembled, a shudder passed
through his frame, and he fell at full
length on the floor.

CHAPTER XVII.
The courier's Mission.


The courier bore the insensible form
by Cobb and the baroness.
AS the door closed behind him,
Karsicheff turned quickly to Nicholas
and said in a whisper: II have a
plan-wait!"
Then ordering the guard to resume
their arms he gave the command to
march the prisoners to the kameras.
Alexis had revived sufficiently to
move. and al supported by two Of
the Cossacks.
The injuries Of Alexis were for
~tunately slight. The fangs Of the
wolves had reached him in one or two
places On the arms and on n cheek,
but the latter proved to be a mere
scratch, though sufficient to draw
blood, and the clothing had protected
the arms. In answer to eager in
quiries he explained that he did not
G the face of the woman he had
rescued, because just as he reached
her she almost fell into his arms and
in his struggle during the retreat he
had not heard her speak.
But it was the presence Of Cobb
so entirely unlocked for, and SO mex
plicable--that furnished them a topic
which kept them wondering for
hours. That Cobb's presence had
something to do with them, they felt
certain, but now that he was here;
how we're they to let him know that

highroad to the mines for conveys to
march two days and rest one; and as
this was their resting place, they felt
sure that the mornings light would
bring some Of letting Cobb
know that they were in the stockade.
But what had brought Cobb and the
baroness-for they felt sure it was the
baroness, Cobb having spoken of his
wife-to that out of the way place?
That was the puzzler, and 1t was to
account for that fact that both Alexis
and Ivan taxed their imagination.
While they are in suspense we will
enlighten our readers.
General Cobb, after his marriage to
the baroness, found himself in a posi-
ton where he could afford to give up
all the business interests that former
ly occupied his time. From the mo-
ment Alexis had left st. Petersburg
he had but one object in view-that
was to rescue his friend from the hor-
rors of Siberian exile, and if possible
restore him to the position from
which a chain of adverse circum-
stances had so cruelty deposed him.
Or, II that were not possible, II was

A well known Oxford don was asked
to speak into a monograph. and was
interested in hearing the ~reproduc.

said with scarcely concealed disgust:

had heard himself as others hear him,

discover him and appeal to the cour-.
Ter for Alexis-especially after Alexis
himself had won the heart OF the
courier-there was no question as to
the result. Certainly the courier
would never leave Alexis and Ivan I'M

The object now was to blind the
courier II possible, to keep Cobb from
the knowledge of the presence Of
Alexis, and to have matters remain in
statu quo until the courier and the
hated American should depart.

had discovered the identity of Cobb

The wolves we're closing in upon
him.
They were on all sides, a famished,
bowling pack of devils, their white
fangs and fiery eyes showing with hor-
rible distinctness as they sprang at
him.
The rife, swung with all his
strength from left to right, and from
right to left, cleared a path for him
and no sooner did one of the brutes
fall than a score of it's fellows literally
tore 1t in pieces.
Alexis was becoming exhausted.
1t was too much for him in his weak
ened state.
One Of the wolves, n larger than
the rest, made a bound for his
throat, but before it reached him sank
in death agony with a bullet in its
brain.
At the same moment, by the over
turned sleigh, Alexis caught sight Of
the object of his heroic quest.
1t was q woman!
With white face she stood there,
revolver in hand, her back protected
by the sleigh. Shot after shot rang
out, and as each time, with unerring
arm, the bullet lodged in the body Of
a wolf, she gained q moments respite
from the cowardly brutes.
But the end was bound to come.
The last shot but one had been
fired.
AS If by some devilish instinct the
wolves seemed to know that their VIC
tim was now d~efenseless, and they pre-
pared for a rush in all the strength
OF their numbers.
With a howl that could have been
heard a league another pack of the
brutes had come down from the hills
and joined the others.
Then it a that the helpless wom-
an uttered the wild shrek of agony
hat had reached the ears of her res
cuer-had reached ever to the courier
in the etape..
Alexis sprang forward. He found
that the arm was a magazine rife,
and with a prayer of t~hankfulness he
opened fire. Shot after shot, a perfect
fusilade followed, and half a dozen of
the brutes were lying bleeding in the
snow.
Another moment and he had
reached the oma His face was
covered with blood, his arms were
torn, but he clasped her by a strong
effort and began the retreat to a place
of safety.
Repulsed by the shots, the wolves

had made a simultaneous rush to
feast on the OF those slain
by Alexis.
But the feast did not last long.
Maddened more than ever by the
taste of blood, they sprang after AL

den.

One of the most appalling disasters in
the history Of New York, tragic in its
immensity, dramatic in its episodes, and
deeply pathetic in the tender age of most
OF its victims, took place Wednesday in
the East River at the entrance to the
Long Island Sound, within short dis
tanee OF tho New York shore and within
sight OF thousands Of persons, the ma
iority of whom were powerless to mini
mize the extent of the catastrophe. BY
the burning TO the water's edge OF the

steamer, the largest in these waters,
more than 1000 persons, the majority of
whom were women and children, were
burned to death or drowned by jumping

whirlpools by the lurehing OF the vessel
and the frantic rush Of the panic stricken
passengers.

Negro Men Charged with whltecap.

Pearlington, Miss, June l5.--A case
of whitecapping occurred here among
the negroes short time ago. Some
men disguised themselves and whipped
some negro women. Four negro men
were arrested under the charge of as
sault and battery. They we're tried in
the Justice Court, found guilty and fined
$40 each. An appeal was taken to the
Circuit Court, where the case will be
tried this week under the Charge Of
whitecapping. Il. G. Ballintine bailiff
for the Court, has summoned fifteen
witnesses in the case. The defense will
probably be to prove an alibi.

J. J. Clark Denies All knowledge Of
Scheme TO BiackmaiI.

Pascagoula, Miss, June 15.--A few
days ago G. Fl. Alley, prominent mer-
chant at this place, received an anony-
nous letter, signed "Law-abiding Citi-
zens," stating, in substance, that unless
he put under bis West Side store steps
Tuesday night, Juns IL, the sum OF
$3.50, to be used for charitable purposes,
where the writer's of the letter could find
it, they, the law abiding citizens, would
expose his criminal conduct with WE'LL
known lady Of this town. Mr.. Alley
complied with the request of the letter
and placed the money at the spot desig-
mated, and also placed watch composed
OF his son and several other gentlemen.
This morning at $3.50 o'clock man was
seen to approach the place where the
money was hid and reach under tho
steps, supposedly for the money that was
concealed there. He was arrested and
taken to Jail, where he proved to be j
j. Clark, a well-known citizen OF Pasca-
goula. Mr.. Clark was arraigned before
Justice A. d. Krebs this morning, and
gave bond for his appearance next Mon
day. Mr.. Clerk denies any knowledge
or completely in the writing Of tho
anonymous letter, and also says that at
the time he was arrested he was on his
way to his boat, lying in the Pascagoula
River, and stopped at the steps to pick
up piece OF paper that he desired to
use. The affair has caused no little OK
