Rezanov disembark ed from the Juno at
Okhotsk during the first days of October.
Had 1t not been for touch of fever that
had returned in the filth and warm damp
ness of Sitka he would have felt almost
as buoyant in mind and body as In those
days when California had gone to his
head. The Juno had touched at Kadiak,
Oonalaska and others Of the more impor-
tant settlements. and he found his schools
and libraries in good condition. seals and
offers rapidly increasing in their immu-
nifty from indiscriminate slaughter, new
and stronger forts threatening the nefari-
GUS Bostonian and Briton. At Okhotsk
he learned that the embassy of Count Co
lofkin to China had failed as signally as
his own. and this alone would have put
him in the best of tempers even had he
not found his armament and caravan
awaiting him, facilitating his immediate
departure. He wrote a gay letter to Con-
cha giving her the painful story of the
naturalist attached to the Golofkin en-
bassy, DR.. Redovsky, who had remained in
the east animated by the same scientific
enthusiasm as that of his colleague. the
good Langdorff, parted some time since
from his too exacting master. Rezanov
had written Concha many letters during
his detention In Sitka, and left them with
Baranhov to send at the first opportunity.
The chief manager. deeply interested In
with whom he alone dared to take lib
erty, vowed to guard all that came to his
care and sooner or later to send them to
California. ReZanov had also written COM
prehensively to the czar and the directors
of the Russian-American company, adroit-
ly placing his marriage in the light of a
diplomatic maneuver, and painting Call
fornia in colors the more vivid and en-
ticing for the sullen clouds and roaring
winds, the dripping forests and eternal
SHOWS of that unknown corner of earth
where he had been stranded so long. He

my homeward journey. 1 shall write to St
Petersburg before leave"
The ieutenants, overcome as ever when
he chose to put forth his full powers, as
sured him of their fidelity and, If with mis-
gfvings, vowed to mete vengeance to the
Japanese. And although their misgivings
were not unfounded, and they paid a high
price in suffering and modification, they
accomplished their object, and in due
course received the rewards the chamber
lain had promised them.
They did not retire. and Rezanov. seeing
| their sudden hesitation and embarrassment
felt sudden thrill Of apprehension.
What is it?' he demanded. What has
happened7"
Life has moved slowly in Sitka during
your absence, excellency," replied Davidov
There has been little work done on the
or six weeks
Them had the young men been possessed
by not infrequent-mood, they would have
glowed with a sense of just satisfaction.
Rezanov felt himself turn so white that
he wheeled about and left the tent. A
month or six weeks! And the speed and
safety Of his journey across Siberia de-
pended upon his making the greater part
of 1t before the heavy autumn rains
swelled the rivers and flooded the swamps
Winter or summer the journey from
Okhotsk to st. Petersburg might be made
in four months; with the wealth and in
f1uence at his command, possibly in less;
but in the deluge between he was liable
to detentions lasting nearly as long again,
to say nothing of illness caused by newt
able exposure. He stood staring at the palisa
AIDES for many minutes. The separation must
be long enough. the dangers numerous
enough If he started within the week. but
at least he had in measure accustomed
himself to the idea of not seeing Concha
again for 1.-The best part of two years" and
the sanguineness of his temperament had
led him to hope that the time might be re-
duced to eighteen months. If he delayed
too long, only by means OF an unprecedent-
ed run of good fortune would he reach ST.
Petersburg but month behind his calcula
tons. And the chances were in favor of
four. or three at the best Never since the
morning that the real nature of his feeling
for Concha had declared itself had he
yearned toward her as at that moment;
never since the dictum of what she called
their tribunal had he rebelled against
the long delay. And yet he hesitated. To
leave Japan unpunished for the senseless
humiliationS to which 1t had subjected
Russia in his person was not to be thought
Of, and yet did he leave without seeing the

AS he realized that the die was cast the
sanguineness Of his temperament rushed to
do battle against apprehension and self
accusing. After all. he was rarely baked
of his way, accustomed to ride down OBJ
stacles, to the amiable cooperation Of
! fate. He could arrive in Okhotsk late in
September or early in October. Capt
D'Wolf who had been detained at Stka
during his absence by the same Indifference
that had operated against the completion
of the Avos, would precede him and order
that all be in readiness at Okhtosk both
for the ships and his journey to Yakutsk
He could proceed at once, and no doubt
with twice the number of horses needed
would make the first and most difficult
stage of the journey in the usual time,
and with no great embarrassment from
the rains. From Yakutsk to Irkutsk the
greater part of the. travel was by water
in any case, and after that the land was
fiat for the most part and bridges were
more numerous. The governor of every
town in Siberia would be his obsequious
servant. the entire resources of the country
would be at his disposal. He was sound
in health again, resistant against hard
ships when he had sailed from Kron-
stadt And God knew, he thought with
a sigh, his will and purpose had never
been stronger.

Mrs. Tennyson vaiuly tried to staunch
the blood that flowed over his face
Miss Flora Tennyson, the daughter,
who had been i'll, was the only other
person in the house and had retired up
stairs to her room for the night. When
the shot was fired she rushed out to a
big dinner bell in the yard and rang
that vigorously until the rope -b- oke.
Then she made her way as rapidly as
possible to farmer neighbor named
Twidwell, who carried the news to
town and brought back a numDer of
people.
A search of the place resulted in the
discovery of a single barrelled shotgun
in the smoke house belonging to the
Tennyson family. and which showed
evidence of having been recently 6fs-
charged.
Mr.. Tennyson was about "A years cd,
