What Superintendent Morrow said of

''No man can say Vermont, or any

was no sound. She supposed that Sassuhtch
had approached and left her apartments
by the servants staircase of that wing of the
palace. Once clear of the corridor, he would
attract little or no notice from the ordinary domes
tics, as one in travelling costume in winter on
the Volga differs from another only by the number
and costlness of his furs.

everything to save him; but she resolved not
to condemn Menikoff absolutely until further
proof Of his dissimulation was forthcoming.
As she waited motionless, peer1ng through the
haf-open door. she heard the yelping of wolves in
the forest that stretched its dark mantle to lef

warmth soft carpets, rare pictures electric lamps,
and snug rooms luxu1ously furnished, without,

trees the white banks bounding the ice ribbon of

sorrow that he feared nothing more was furtively
stealing into the night to return to his stricken
daughter.
Below. in the bliard-room and card-rooms,
were smiling women and joyous men, Prince
Melnikoff the gayest among them. What a con-
trast of extremes!
1t was long before she slept Oddly enough
now that the first rush of resentment had passed,
She experienced distinct feeling of relief Hitherto
a wave of sentiment the glamor of imagined duties
and glores had sustained her, Now that she was

that no irretrievabe step had been taken.
