Wrought up by the picture his fears
had brought before him, Karsichef
strobe up and down his apartment, q
prey to the most poignant anxiety
and apprehension.
Suddenly he stopped, and pulling a
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. Taking 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.

Consult the register and find out"
Radaloff bowed and withdrew.
"It is my last chance" mused the
minister, when his subordinate had
withdrawn. II will arrest him to-
night and take the chances OF making

he smiled bitterly as he recalled the
prime minister's words-"that l have

Within FIVE minutes Radaloff again
entered the apartment, and respect

Once more Karsicheff resumed his

"A man Is but cluster on the great
human grapevine. He begins to dry
up the moment he is cut off from his
fellows. There is something in the
solidarity of the human race which
cannot be accounted for in the sum to-
tai of all the individuals. Separation
from the mass involves mighty loss
OF power IN the t>dividual. Just as
there is loss Of cohesion and adhe-
sion involved in the separation Of the
molecules and atoms of the diamond,
The value Of the gem is in the close
contact, the compactness, and the con-
centration of the particles which COM
pose it. The moment they are sepa-
rated it's value is gone. So strong,
effective man gets large part of his
strength from the vital connection
with his fellows.-Scccess Magazine.

Had a Hard Job.

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.

Negro Turning Whits.

A correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Call says: The latest freak of
nature and marvel Of the medical sci
entists is the change of color which is
gradually creeping over the body of a
negro porter, Charles Hugo Bell, in
Colusa. Mutation began several years
ago. The spots of white have spread
to the face and hands. Although the
victim of this strange disease suffers
no i'll effects at present, he has been
advised that as soon as the complete
change takes place death will ensue.
At present he is employed at hard la.
Dor and enjoys life. but is the subject
of much curiosity.
Bell was born in Columbia. Georgia,
in 1866. His parents were full-blooded
negroes, coming direct from Africa as
slaves to the United States.

CHAPTER n.
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, 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-
travagant and riotous designations 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-
cceded to her own apartments. AS
the countess glanced at herself in the
mirror she wore a 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.

Paris. and the rich and elegant cos

legged to inspect them to be absolute.

moff, the elaborate preparations for
the event-all these made the ap.
proaching 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.
ringe Of Olga was the ono dream OF
I her life. and an alliance with the
house Of Nazimoff the highest honor

her daughter could hope to attain.

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 a higher place in
the government-perhap 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 drosky, he
jumped in, and with word of direc-
ton to the driver, was driven rapidly
away. Within few doors of his des-
tination Radaloff alighted and dis
Gilpin observer., 1905-07-20

missed the drosky. After waiting un-
til he was well assured that the driver
was not spying on his movements, he
entered a restaurant and sat down at
table somewhat apart from the 9TH
er people present. A minute later a
waiter approached, and handing him
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?"
asked Radaloff. pointing to the bill
and speaking in a low voice.
The waiter took the card, nodded
and replied: Excellent and fresh

Radaloff examined the bill of fare
again. Then he paused thoughtfully,
as If to make a selection. Pointing
