Jack showed her his sketches one after

addressed her abruptly. With such inn

His face was very pale when he ceased
speaking. Pauline stood near him. the
color coming and going in her cheeks,
her eyes fixed on his face; but she said
never word. When he spoke again his
words came slowly, hesitatingly, and his
voice had a stifed sound, as if choked
with despair.

The political prison of Warsaw is
the most hated and certainly the most
dreaded spot in all Warsaw. Once a
fortress, 1t is now a political prison,
behind the walls of which many grim
and terrible tragedies are enacted.
How many men and women have
been executed in the citadel since the
present movement against the Cars
government reached Poland, nobody
hut the eommandant and the governor
of the prison will ever know.
The few who return from this
prison say little about what goes on
inside, for they dare not tell the
truth. But their drawn faces, shat
tered nerves and bruised bodies speak
for themselves. Little wonder that
the citadel has been called the bastile
of Poland; little wonder that the
Pole shudders at It's red walls and
green ramparts. Not only is it the
slaughter house of his race, but its
guns, ever turned toward the city,

CHAPTER VIII.

Il was a day or two after Ethel's
visit to Wimbledon that sac set reading
q curious letter, which rax aG follows:
"Your lover cares for you no longer.
His honor and his pity for you alone
keep him to his given word. He makes
light Of you to others"
Ethel did not quite believe all this;
but she believed enough of it was true
to justify her in giving Jack an oppor-
tunity Of freeing himself from his en-
gagemeat. She decided that she would
not worry her father, but would act for
herseif. Acting ON this decision, she
wrote:

Paul in Petersburg is to Russia.
Should this country ever escape from
the Russian yoke it will meet the
same fate as the bastile during the
French revolution of 1888.
A visitor TO the citadel is struck by
its pleasant appearance. There are
ne gray walls or lowering towers.

aarme, looking smart in his blue tunic
and rcd faciAgs, casts a glance at you
as he hurries with dispatches to the
commandant's quarters behind the
church. The place looks Nike an un-
usually well-kept garrison In central
Russia, and that rs all.
Msw Political Suspects Disappear.
That is the way the citadel appears
to the casual visitor, but It Is alto
sefheF different to the Polish political
suspects. Wnen for some reason or
other suspicion falls upon a person,
he or she Is seized by the gendarmes
and tho house searched. Then the
prisoner is taken to the citadel and
into the Office of what is known as
the tenth pavilion" There he is
photographed and his valuables taken
from him. Men ana women all re-
eeive the same treatment, as there are
no female warders in the citadel.
After being closely inspected by the
warders. the prisoners name, age, oc-
cupation, ETC., are entered in the
books, and he is conducted into a
long, dimly lighted corridor, into
which a number of small IRON doors
open. They are those of the cells
One of these doors is opened, the
prisoner feels a rough push from be-

through winding passages and into a
room-the sort Of rooLa he might have
known long ago, before he went to
the tenth pavilion.
His eyes, unused to the glare, can
only take in the details gradually, but
before long he sees the pretty furni-
ture, bright curtains, the birds, cow
ers and books which surround him.
His warders have gone and he Is left
alone. But net for long.

Is brought in, cigarettes are handed
round, and the conversation begins.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1906-01-19

This conversation is nothing more
or less than a cross examination pre-
yious to the form of a trial which is
generally gone through before politi-
cal offender Is sentenced. The object
Is to unnerve him to such point that
he makes a clean breast of 1t and
gives information against his party.
These midnight visits are repeated at
long intervals, and men and women
who are proof against any amount OF
physical suffering dread them more
than anything in the tenth pavilion.
After several such examinations,
alternated by dreary days in the cell,
he is taken to a small room hung
with mirrors and gloomy draperies.
He has scarcely time to get over the
shock Of his altered appearance when
a man, dressed IN black emerges from
behind a curtain and plies him with
questions. If the suspect refuses to-
answer, the man claps his hands, and
a couple of ruffians enter with whips
and beat him.
when the prisoner has undergone
several examinations, he is either re-
leased for want of evidence or put
through the mOckery Of a trial. A
mockery because though the procura-
tor who judges him allows him legal
counsel, his fate is sealed beforehand.

but the prisoners counsel has the

The silence, but for the occasional

CAR VIII els AND CURVES.

Scientific American Answers Questions
Regarding Them.
One of the questions from CORE
spondents that GENES to this Office
with persistent reiteratien rs that of
the possibility of one or the other Of
the pair Of wheels ON a railroad axle,
in passing around the curve, slipping
on the rail over which it is rolling,
while the other wheel does not slip
on its rail- says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Although we have frequently ex-
planned how this condition is possible,
the question is one that evidently
continues to puzzle a great many
people-in which respect it is FIRST
cousin to that other much-de-
bated fact, that the portion of
the periphery Of rolling cart
wheel that is near the ground Is NOV
ing more slowly with relation to the
earth than is the rest of the periphery.
In the case of the two wheels on any
axle Of railroad or trolley car that
is passing around curve it is evident
that in given length, say 100 feet Of
| the curve, measured ON a line lying
| centrally between the two rails, the
inner rail will be shorter than the
outer rail, and this for the reason that
1t is struck to a radius that is about
four and three-quarters feet shorter.
Now, when a pair of wheels passes
around the curve it follows that, be-
cause of the difference in length of
the two rails, either the inner wheel
must slip backward on the inner rail
or the outer wheel slip forward on the
outer rail, for the two wheels, being
fixed on the same axle, move at the
same peripheral speed over different
lengths of rail in the same time.
1t is probable that the excessive
wear of the rails on curves is due
chiefly to the slipping of the wheels
on rail wear on curves were brought
out in the course of paper read be
fore the New England Street Railway
Club by the roadmaster of the Boston
elevated road. The road is exceeding
ly crooked, over 40 per cent of the line
consisting of curves, many of which
are very sharp. There are eighteen OF
less than 10o-foot radius and sixteef
others with radius Of less than 15(
feet. On the sharpest curve, which 1,

The most treasured piece Of cleth is

worn by James II. in 1852, refined and
worn by Queen Victoria at her corona
ton in 1888, and later remodeied for
the royal Inauguration of Edward
VII. in 1902. The cloth is of ricn
lustrous red and was actually part
of the robe until it was remodeied for
Edward VII.
The collection also includes a piece
of the beautiful ermine and gold
