Prince that the roles reversed. She is the
hostage for compliance with our demands"
Armstrong maddened by the cool turbulence
with which this statement made, and dread
ing the reproaches of Ermyntrude when he explained
to her the significance of the Russian words strobe
toward the giant and said with cold deiberation:
Unless you promise to give this lady safe
conduct to Bannofka, nothing save you from
instant death! | do not wish to alarm her need
lcssy. She does not know what saying.
But my hand is on the trigger of a revolver, and IN
another instant bullet will be in your brain.
Natushka sprang in front of Ivan who to do
him Justice, linchcd not at Armstrong threat
THE shot will be the signal for your death and
the death of her you would befr;end,' she cried
shrillv You both would be thrown headlong
the prccpice without. Do not condemn so
readily those who have befriended you Leave the
affair to Ivan-and to me-"
She threw deep meaning into the concluding
words. 1t was best for the moment to be content
with her implied offer of help. Armstrong, CULVER
ing with excitement, strove to tell Ermyntrude
part at least of the truth. He could not bring
himself to shock her by revealing the full extent
of the big Russians daring scheme.

I came to hate Russia and everything connected
with the country. Had the ceremony of last night

The beautiful Crcassian threw herself into
chair and looked at Ermyntrude with an expression
of fearless agony that was excessively trying,
Ermyntrude beginning dimly to see some OF
the hidden currents of the turbulent stream of life
in Bannofka. With her womans intuition, she
OWNED part, at least, of the which racked
the emotional creature who spoke SO impulslvely.
Are you not free to give your hand to the man
of your choice?" she asked with ready sympathy.
" If you dislike Prince Melnikoff, and he is so blind
to your attractions to prefer a bit of girl like
me- who will have none of him, do not see exactly
why you should be miserable, yet why you
desire to make miserable also by getting me

married to him"
Ernyntrude, with her downright English
sense, apparently had Invested the problem of
its fancifu1 trappings and stated plain facts
in plain words The other, upon whose soul
lay the weight of unutterable broodings, could
only clasp her hands across the gold circlet which
bound her wonderful hair and say brokenly
Il knew Ivan would not fail. He never
fails in aught he undertakes May the Madonna
of Kazan help me! l am to be piticd.
Mayhap Ermyntrude's kindly words would
have unlocked her lips, and this wild heart
might have found soace in telling her grief to
another but knock at the door announced
Armstrong He was followed by huge fur
wrapped figure, and Natushl<a instantly sprang
to her feet with wild cry of delight.
"Ivanl You are safe! Thank Heaven"
She spoke in Russian but there no
misunderstanding her attitude and gestures.
She loved this burly, uncouth fellow who
plotting desperately to make her a princess
against her will.
He alone was blind and deaf Both Ermyn-
trude and Frank, though the latter not
aware of the girls passionate outbreak during
the few minutes he had left Ermyntrude in
her company arrived at the same conclusion.
And with the thought came the knowledge of
danger created by this awkward dilemma.
1t was clear that Natushka had hoped
secretly and earnestly that the Prince would
marry and thus relieve her from the fulfilment
of hateful compact Now she might come
to regard Ermyntrude the of her own
troubles. But Ivan was troubled by none of
these doubts

Delaware & Hudson Railway Amalga-
mates with Larger System.

The Scranton Tribune prints an ar
ticle today indicating an amalgama-
ton of the Delaware & Hudson rail
way with the Pennsylvania. It con-
tains the information that the heavy
purchases Of coal lands in Schuylkill
county were by the Schuylkill Coal &
Iron Company for the two railroads.
Freight from Pittsburg and western
points for New England points has
hampered operation Of the Pennsylva.
MIA road for years. Relief was sought
in an arrangement with the Delaware
& Hudson by which part of the New
England business was transferred to
it's ally and taken to Mechanicsville
N. Y. The Pennsylvania is anxious
to get land communication with the
eastern states and the amalgamation
or absorption has been planned. This
has not been accomplished thru ina
bility to get control Of the Delaware
stock. The new plan is to make It tc
the advantage of the Delaware holders
to become interested in the Pennsyl
vania system. The consolidation witt
the coal arrangement will make traffic
to New England points, and thru the
consolidation the weaker line will be
come main line between the west anc
the east.
