strobe up and down his apartment,
prey to the most poignant anxiety
and apprehension.
Suddenly he stopped, and pulling
bell cord with a quick, impatient mo-
tion, he returned to his desk and re-
sumed his seat.
A moment later and the door ST.
lently opened to give entrance to
tall, soldierly man. Takins one of the
papers from the desk before him
Karsicheff ran his eyes over it, and
then turning to the man, handed him
the document, with the remark:
Have we that name on the list of
suspects?"
Radaloff, confidential agent of the
minister, took the paper, and with a
quick glance mastered it's contents.
Il do not recall the name, your ex-
cellency," was his reply.

Radaloff bowed and withdrew

minister, when his subordinate had

prime minister's words-"that l have

Radaloff bowed and left the room.
Once more Karsicheff resumed his
restless walk.
The sound of the great bell in the
official residence caused him to walk
to the window just as a magnificently
appointed sleigh. drawn by four coal

Reclining among the mass of furs

one of mingled pride and affection. A
moment more and the occupants OF
the sleigh had entered the house, and
a servant announced to the minister
that the Countess Karsicheff and
Mile. Olga Karsicheff, his wife and
only daughter, had returned from

CHAPTER II.
The Countess karsicheff.

Katherine, Countess Karsicheff,
was one of the social leaders of the
most exclusive society in St. Peters,
burg. For centuries her family had
occupied a foremost position among
the great names of the empire. Kath-
crime Karsicheff was of the truest
Russian type of the grande dame and
of the bluest blood of the old Musco-
vite nobility. So it was that when
Katherine became the wife of the
then comparatively unknown COVER
nor of Tambov, her family influence
was sufficiently powerful to push the
fortunes of Countess Karsicheff,
until now he was at the head of the
imperial police. then perhaps the most
responsible and arduous post in the
empire.
The family consisted at this time
of two children, a son and daughter.
Nicholas and Olga. The former os-
tensibly acted as his fathers secre-
tary. but really spent most of his
time in the pursuits common to the
younger sons of the nobility. the ex-
travagaut and riotous dissipations of
the capital.
Olga Karsicheff, on the other hand.
was a marked contrast to her BROTH
er. She was a tall graceful girl with
rather pensive face, the expression
of which was intensified by the sad
ness which continually haunted her
great brown eyes.
The Countess karsicheff, immed-
lately after entering the house, pro-
coeded to her own apartments. AS
the countess glanced at herself in the
mirror she wore smile of pride and
triumph. All day long she had been
receiving congratulations on the ap-
preaching marriage of her daughter
Olga with the dashing young Colonel
Alexis Nazimoff, only son and heir of
Paul, Count Nazimoff, and the great
est catch of the day in St Peters
burg.
The trousseau had arrived from
Paris, and the rich and elegant cos
tunes had been pronounced by the
few nearest and dearest friends privi-
legged to inspect them to be absolute
ly faultless in their perfection.
The wealth and station OF the par.
ties, the youth and beauty Of the pros.
pective bride and the popularity of
the young heir of the house of Nazi-
motf, the elaborate preparations for
the event-all these made the ap-
preaching marriage one of more than
ordinary interest and the topic of
conversation in the higher circles OF
society.
No wonder Katherine KarsichefY
was proudly triumphant The mar.
riage of Olga was the one dream OF
her life. and an alliance with the
house of Nazimoff the highest honor
The Glenwood post., 1905-07-22

her daughter could hope to attain.
The union of the two families meant
much for both, but most for the Karsi-
chefs. The influence resulting from
the alliance could hardly fail to give
General Karsicheff higher place in
the sovernment-perhaps place in
the imperial council. That was the
ambition of the countess for her hus-
band. There was not, one cloud on the
horizon of Katherine Karsicheff's fu-
ture. What wonder that the proud,
naughty face lighted up with pass
ing smile of perfect satisfaction as
her mind rapidly reviewed the past
and formed pleasant picture for the
future!
Michael Radaloff, fve minutes after
he had left the presence of the minis
ter of police, emerged from the house
by a private entrance which COM
municated to that part of the estab-
lishment wherein Gen. Karsicheff
transacted his official business. A
brisk walk Of ten minutes brought
him to the nearest public stand for
conveyances, and hailing a drosky, he
jumped in, and with word of direc-
ton to the driver, was driven rapidly
away. Within few doors of his des-
tination Radalof alighted and dis
The Glenwood post., 1905-07-22

missed the drosky. After waiting un-
til he was well assured that the driver
was not spying on his movements, he
entered restaurant and sat down at
table somewhat apart from the 9TH
er people present. A minute later a
waiter approached. and handing him
a card appeared to wait his order.
Radaloff gazed with apparent inter
est at the bill of fare, and then en-
sued this somewhat unusual colloquy:
Have you discovered the address 2"
asked Radaloff, pointing to the bill
and speaking in low voice.
The waiter took the card, nodded
and replied: Excellent and fresh
and then in lower tone-"no, Alex
androffski Ulitza."
Radaloff examined the bill of fare
again. Then he paused thoughtfully
as if to make a selection. Pointing
to another line, he murmured, so that
the words reached the walters ear
alone, Married or SINGLE
Certainly, sir" came the prompt
response as the well-trained waiter
made note of the demand; then,
softly. single"
Radaloff leaned back with an air of
indifference. Really it appeared he
was not hard to please. You can
bring the order" he said; and then,
as if reconsidering, ''at home or
away?"
"In St. Petersburg-probably now
at the house of''-and dropping his
voice to its lowest audible tone, the
waiter finished his sentence.
Radaloff, cool and collected as he
invariably was, could not conceal the
look of astonishment caused by the
information he had just received. But
the transition from his usual impass
i've manner was only momentary. al
will do was all he said, and the
waiter. with a polite bow. which youl
well-trained servant on the continent
never forgets, withdrew to fill the
somewhat extraordinary order with
which he had been favored.

LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION.
Planned by Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association.

Denver July 16.-A movement was
set on foot yesterday which is ex-
pected to result In an annual gather
ing of stockmen in Denver from all
parts of the West, for the purpose of
holding a live stock exposition in
which will be shown in competition
fat cattle, hogs and sheep and feeder
cattle and breeding stock of all kinds.
A meeting of prominent and repre-
sentative stockmen was held at the
stock yards yesterday morning in re-
sponse to a call issued by the Colo
RADIO Cattle and Horse Growers Asso-
citation. 1t was unanimously decided
to hold a big stock show here next
winter, probably in January at the
time of the national and state con-
ventions of stockmen meet.
Senator E. NJ. Ammons, president of
the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' Association, was made chairman
of the meeting and Fred P. Johnson
secretary. Senator Ammons ex'
plained the object Of the meeting.
He pointed out the fact that Colorado
and the West could make the best
meats the world knows. but that only
recently have the stockmen attempted
to finish their own stock. For years
1t has been the idea that corn was
a necessary requirement for fattenins
cattle. In late years few pro-
gressive stockmen have been expert
menting in feeding roots and other
grains and with wonderful results.
There are enough engaged In feed
ing now to make a most interesting
exhibit. But both the stockmen and
the public need educating. The stock
men want an opportunity to compare
notes and results in feeding and the
public wants to know what constitutes
the best meats. A live stock eXposi-
tion would interest everyone and all
would learn something.
President Aylesworth Of the Agri
cultural College expressed approval OF
the project and promised that the
college force would assist in every
way possible.
Professor Carlyle, dean of agricul-
ture at the college, also expressed ap-
proval and suggested that in addition
to fat stock and feeders. there should
| be arrangements made to exhibit
breeding stock.
General Manager Ballantine of the
| Stock Yards Company, President Geb-
| hard of the Colorado Packing Com
pany, General Manager Boettcher Of
the Western Packing Company ana
| other stock yards people expressed
| the greatest enthusiasm over the pro-
| Ject. E. H. Grubb. John Grattan, John
Welch and other prominent stockmen
spoke In favor of the proposition and

to hold the show next winter.
| A committee was appointed to pre-
pare a detailed plan to submit at an
other meeting to be held at the stock
yards on next Saturday morning. July
| 22d, at 10 o'clock. The general COM

Had a Hard .Ioh

A former minister of the parish of
Kirkmichael, in Ayrshire, was resting
in his study one Saturday afternoon,
after having finished the preparations
of his sermon for next day, when he
was startled with sounds of violent
quarreling in his own house. He
jumped up from his easy chair
opened the door and heard the angry
voice of his own man shouting in
the kitchen. Ma, moo, ye limmer,
tho | chase ye to Jericho I'll catch

kitchen and found there, to his great
surprise, nobody but the man himself
who worked on the glebe, and who
was now seated at table taking his

Mark Twain's Retort.

Many years ago when Mark Twain
was struggling journalist he found
himself one day with note coming
due and total lack of funds with
which to meet it. Half distracted, he
was rushing around the city in a re-
verish hunt for funds to tide him over
the trying time. He rushed a little
too quickly, however. for as he was
turning corner he collided with lit
tie man and overthrew him. The vic.
tim regained his feet and yelled:

You into the middle of next week"

humorlst, "do it by all means. If

.G.A.R.COMMANDER DIES
WORK OF GEN. eLAckMAR ENDED
Succumbs to Fatal Disease at Boise,
Idaho, While Engaged in Visit
ing G. A. r. Departments.

Boise, Idaho, July 17.-Gen. w. W.
Blackmar, commander-in-chief Of the
G. A. r.. died at 5 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon of intersti.ial nephritis. His
wife was with him during his illness.
The body will be embalmed and taken
to the home of the family in Boston.
The general arrived here on the 10th
on a tour, during which he intended to
visit Grand Army posts throughout the
Northwest. He was i'll when he ar
rived and gradually failed. The SER
iousness of his condition was kept
from the public at the request Of his
wife.
General Blackmar was born July rs.
1S41, at Bristol, Pennsylvania. He en-,
listed in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania.
cavalry and subsequently Joined the
First West Virginia. He served with
distinction throughout the war and at
Five Forks was promoted on the field
by General Custer to the rank of cap
tain. Throughout three administra-
tions, those of Governors Long, Talbot
and Rice, he was Judge advocate gen
eral of Massachusetts. At the last ma
tional encampment of the G. A. R. he
was elected commander-in-chief.
Boston, July 17.-Except to two or
three officials of the Grand Army the
news Of the death of Chief Blackmarl
was received with great surprise in this
city. The home of General Blackmarl
was in this city and since his elevation
to the position of chief commander the
headquarters Of the organization have
been here.
General Blackmar is succeeded by
John R. King Of Washington, senior
vice commander.
Two weeks ago the commander-in-
chief broke down and was ordered to
his bed in his summer home at Hing
ham by his physicians. At the time his
indisposition, however. was regarded
as slight.
On July 9th General Blackmar's con-
dttion apparently improved and it was
decided to permit him to continue his
visits to western departments, which
had begun early in the year.
Assistant Adjt Gen. E. B. Stillings,
commander of Kinsley Post No. 113, OF
this city, of which General Blackmar
was member, will leave Boston to-
day for the West. He will assist Mrs.
Blackmar in arranging for the funeral,
which probably will be held in this city.
