bring upon me such a grief?" His an

The grand duchess expressed sur
prise that the prisoner, as a member OF
the aristocracy, should Sc far forget his
rank and his obligations as 10 join
with the misguided workmen in an at
tempt to bring about the fall of the
government. She characterized his &C
ton as unworthy the son of Il noble
family. 1t was at this point that Obo-
lenski, not wishing to assume individ-
ual responsibility for his deed, declared
that he was by no means the only one
in high official life who had sworn the
oath of the terrorists. The grand
duchess, realizing that the man was
forgetting his surroundings and might
be led to reveal more, quickly arose,
declared that she could not listen to
baseless i%nsinuations against the loyal
ty of men who were still her friends.
The ruse succeeded. Obolenski insisted
that he was by 40 means alone; that
many others of his rank were ready
and waiting the opportunity to COM
nit a similar deed when the interests
of the people should require it.
Unknown to the prince the chief of
the secret police had overheard the
interview and had had notes taken by
a secretary concealed with him above
the ventilator in the ceiling of the cell.
Agents of the police were detailed to
watch every parsonage who had been
indicated in the interview, and a
search was made of the homes and
personal papers of each. Finally the
trail led to the headquarters of the ter
rorists in Moscow, which was found
to be acting in conjunction with the
central revolutionary chiefs in London
