An extraordinary action at law has

time ago an old rag dealer named
Kondreti, who had lived alone, was
found dead in his howell, and bowling
around him were his IL pet cats,
which had to be tempted away from
his dead body by bats of fish. In the
old miseris apartment were found 1000
crowns and a will, duly executed, CON

In this emergency nothing can be
found with which to block the wheels,
and already too much momentum has
been acquired to accomplish this re-
suit by mere muscular effort.
Jack, finding that it win not be nee
essary for him TO stand by and pre-
vent any OBTAINING action with his re-
volver, ceases to run alongside the
carriage, clutches hold Of the side,
and swings himself on the footboard.

CHAPTER XVll.-contlnued
No one is hurt, but each man draws
long breath, as If comprehending
that the battle is now on, and that it
will not cease until much destruction
has been wrought
So Jack scrambles to his knees and
has his arm out of the window almost

to manipulate.

If he were dealing With wild beasts
of the chaparral he WOULD have no
more thought Of mercy\than he feels
toward these lawless oAtcasts whose
hands are raised against both sides
and whose daily calendar Is marked
by terrible deeds.
So Travers opens right merrily
upon them his only desire being to
make each one of the six bullets give
a good accounting.
He is not allowed to monopolize the
whole affair. Smithers is just. as eager
to have a hand in it, and his gun
sounds about as regularly as Jacks
The senior and Spencer also manage
to get in a shot or two, and taken
all together the reception they spring
upon the astonished guerrlllas is fully
as efficacious as it is sudden.
A temporary Generalization seizes
upon the assailants, and they melt
away Some run to the shelter of
trees, others to the opposite side Of

ground, hoping that among the
wounded they may be safe for the
present.

The Russian Jevolutionists lave is
sued a document which In some meas
ure explains why It is that the rioting
and slaughter have continued even af
ter the proclamation Of a liberal pro
gram by the advice Of witte. Russian
revolutionists in Boston have received
copies OF the document. 1t appears as
II the reyolutionists are well aware
that there is a necessity for justifying
themselves concerning the continu-
ance OF bloodshed after the czar has
signifed his willingness to yield GER
tain liberal demands.
The revolutionists explain their con-
tlnued activity by the statement that
all that the czar has given up and
promised to give up has been offered tn
spirit which is far fro11 candid

nominal premier Of the government in
order to make the other nations of the
world believe that the car is really

be establ. Eea whaa the reds" will
allow its establishment; but Witte
does not have real control. say the
reds. He is being used as tool OF
the reactionaries, who now have the
car under their domination again
Important actions have been taken. II
Is claimed. not only without the con
sent OF Witte, but without his knowl
edge. It Is further alleged that the
czar's manifesto of emancipation was
withheld from the people by the local
governors Of many provinces.
In conclusion, say the revolutionists,
the only result acceptable to them will
be the abdication of the cssr,
But in spite OF the revelation on the
part OF the revolutionists as to what
they will not have, II is hard to gain
an Idea as to what they will have For
supposing that they are able to force
the czar to abdicate, republic would
certainly rot be successful. A king
and parliament would In all likelihood
be the best manner of ruling the en-
pire-but II the revolutionists persist
in demanding more. and the govern
ment in granting less. 1t appears that
the anarchy must continue; and no
one can prophesy as to the results.
