Alexander H. freed the Russian
serfs in 1861, and this act, giving par
tial liberty to 2S,0O0.OOO slaves, placed
an aureole around his head He was
then. indeed. the little father" in the
eyes Of his people.
Yet the spirit of reform did not con-
tinue to dominate the czar There
were two men in him; one could free
slaves, but the other, jealous of the
autocratic powers of the throne, could,
and did, hang free men whom he con-
ceived to be enemies Of absolutism.
Thus it transpired that while the
mobiles sent the car petitions for a
political constitution, in 1861 and for
a house of representatives in 1865 the
peoples discomfort developed to the
point of making bombs and plotting
against the life of the car
The first attempt to assassinate
Alexander II. was made April 16, 1856.
Another attempt was made June G,

Verify said, a man destined to capti-
vate. not only by his noble bearing
and handsome face, but also by such
an indescribable charm OF manner as
opened the door OF every heart to him.
Bowing to both girls, he presented
Jane with letter from her friend
Mary Cromwell, and also with a small
parcel which contained some beautiful
ribbons. The pretty gift made pleas
ant introduction to a conversation full
OF gay inquiries and interesting items
! OF social information. Matilda watched
the young soldier with eyes full Of
interest, and did not refuse his escort
to her carriage; but, as she departed,
she gave Jane one look which left her
with an unhappy question in her heart
not only for that night, but to be re-
called long after as premonitory and
prophetic.
During the preparations for the even
ing meal, and while Nevillefwas in his
chamber removing his armor and re-
freshing his clothing, Jane also found
time to put on pretty evening gown.
Something had happened to Jane; she
was in a delicious anticipation, and
she could not keep the handsome
stranger out OF her consideration.
When she heard Neville's steady. swift
step coming towards her she trembled.

her soul did not tell her. 1t indeed
warned her, either Of Joy or OF sorrow,
for surely its tremor intimated that

perhaps, indeed he might have en-
tered her home as fate, or at least
as a messenger Of destiny. For who
can tell, when stranger walks into
any life, what his message may be?
It was wonderful evening to beth
Jane and Mrs. Swaffham. Neville told
over again the story Of Dunbar, and
told It in a picturesque way that would
have been impossible to Dr. Verify
It was magnificent drama, though
there was only one actor to present
It.
Jane did not speak; she glanced at
the young man, wondering at his raps
face, its solemn pallor and mystic ex-
altation, and feeling his voice vibrate'
through all her senses, though at
the last he had spoken half-audibly,

In de Wick the situation was pitt

would gladly have escaped its depress-
ing atmosphere for a little while every
day, but she could not, for the roads
leading from 1t were almost quagmires
unless steadied by frost, and it was
only rarely on such occasions that the
horses could be spared to take her as
far as Swaffham. Even the atmos-
phere of Swaffham, though grateful
and cheering. was exasperating to the
poor royalist lady. There was such
cheerfulness in its comfortable rooms.
such plenty Of all the necessaries of
life. such busy service Of men and
maids, such active. kindly hospitality
to herself and such pleasant com
panionship between Jane and her
mother, that Matilda could not help a
little envious contrasting.
One day, near Christmas, the roads

were hard and clean and the sky blue
Matilda resolved to walk over to
Swaifham. AS she left her father she
kissed him affectionately, and then

in st. Petersburg in 1859
In the year following, having i'm
bibed the idea Of advocating liberty,
she left her home to become teach
er of the people" In 1872 she joined
the revolutionists. She was several
times arrested and condemned for
propagandism of revolutionary ideas.
In 1873 she was sent into exile, but
escaping, she returned to ST. Peters
burg and resumed her labors.
She was the brains and will of the
plotters, and 1t was due to her skill
in planning the campaign that the fin-
al attack on the czar was successful.
At the time Sophie Peroffsky, BY
reason of her sex and gentle birth.
was the person Of chief interest. She
held her peace, and carried herself as
one ready to die for principle. All six
prisoners were condemned to death,
but in the case Of the other woman
execution was deferred, as she was
with child.
On April 8, 1881, Sophie Peroffsky
went to the scaffold with her four
male accomplices. On her last night
she had written her mother not to
waste time in assuaging the wrath OF
her father. for what she had done he
would never forgive.

Ing, and yet none the less she accom-
pIished her purpose. For when they
parted for the night he held her hand
with gentle pressure, and quick
glancing, sweetly smiling, he flashed
into her eyes admiration and interest
not to be misunderstood.
And James heart was a crystal rock,
only waiting the touch of wand. Had
she felt the mystic contact? Her
fine eyes were dropped, but there was
a faint bewitching smile around her
lovely mouth, and there was some
thing bewildering and something be-
wildered in her very silence and sim
plicity.
The sun was high when Neville
awoke next morning, and he was
ashamed Of his apparent Incidence and
would scarce delay long enough to eat
hasty breakfast. Then his horse
was waiting, and he stood at the
threshold.
AS he mounted, Mrs. Swaffham
asked him If he went by York, and he
answered, "Yes, know perfectly that
road, and | must not miss my way,
for am a laggard already"
"That is right" she said. "The way
that is best to go is the way that best
you know"
He did not hear the advice, for the
moment his horse felt the foot in the
stirrup he was off, and hard to hold
with bit and bride.
When he was quite out of sight
they turned into the house with a
sigh, and Mrs Swaffham said. Nov

Warnings of Death.

In the winter Of 1S79-S0 a reign Of
terror existed in st. Petersburg. The
czar received frequent nihilist warn
ings that his end was near. But he
was courageous and a fatalist. He
decided to take his chances with
death and after the death of the en-
press he resumed his old habit of
riding abroad attended only by few
Cossacks.
This gave the revolutionists an op-
portunity they were ready to improve.
Their preparations for the final at
tempt were carried out with great
elaboration. All the streets within a
certain radius through which the en-
peror would pass on the day chosen,
March 10, 1881, were assigned to the
various members of the party. Numer-
GUS volunteers were posted, to fol-
low the movements of the czar as he
returned to the palace in his carriage
after viewing Sunday parade at the
st. Michael riding school.
In one street, through which it was
thought he might pass, mine had
been placed, after months Of patient
tunneling from shop, hired for the
purpose, and maintained for a blind
as a cheese shop. In this mine was
enough high explosives to blow up the
street for fully 100 feet when the
wires connected with it should be
touched.
To guard against failure, should the
emperor take some other street. four
men carrying bombs were posted at
points one of which at least he must
pass. These bombs had been dis
tributed to the men at rendezvous
by woman leader, Sophie Peroffsky,
on the morning of the crime.
All being ready, the last instruc-
tions given and the program thor
oughly understood by each, the assas-
sins took their posts. The scenes of
the assassination were described as
follows in contemporary account:
