The man shrugged his shoulders. dis

Ellerey was in a difficulty. He could
think of no one to whom he was desirous
of intrustng an affair of this kind. Be
fore he could reply, however he felt a
touch upon his arm.
Can 1 be of service?"
The speaker was an Engishman and a
stranger to him.
You will be doing me a great favor,

The stranger al once went aside with the
baron's friend. In a few minutes he re-
turned.
Come, Capt. Ellerey. 1t is in half an
hours time" And with an asserting in
clinatiOn of his head Elerey went slowly
down the stairs with his companion.
AS he did so woman came from COR

watched the descending figures. Her face
was pale, and her lips trembed.

his guide as he stood to open door, land
monsieur would do well to leave his lodg
ing by the western gate as soon as he has
prepared for the journey. This passage
will take monsieur to the VeStibule.'
AS he went toward the staircase, deter
mined to leave the palace at once, Ellerey
saw Baron Petrescu leaning against the
marble balustrade talking to one of his
companions. There were certain men at
court who appeared to follow the baron like
his shadow. He was watching all those
who left the palace carefully as on
former occasion he had scrutiniZed all
those who entered IT, and again Ellereys
appearance seemed to release him from his
labors With whispered word to his COM
panion he moved hastily among the people
who were crossing to the stairs and con-
; irving to jostle Ellerey, came to stand
still directly in front of him.
Il am waiting, monsieur he said.
For WHAT?

the baron, with curl of his lip. He Tor

The answer came quickly and was to the
point With sudden sweep of his arm
baron Petrescu struck Ellerey Sharply
across the face with his glove.
Perhaps there something in Ellereys
expression which made the barons COM
panion step hastily to his side. EXpe-
rience may have taught him that English
men have strange habit of Furnishing
such insults on the spot with total dlsre-
gard of all formalities. Perhaps it was his
action which prevented Ellerey carrying
out his intention. He drew himself up TO
his full height the air whistling through
his clenched teeth as he caught his breath,
and then he bowed slightly TO the baron,
who turned away leaving his companion to
settle the matter

BEARING ON INSURANCE SUITS.
Notable. Instructions to Jury in San
Francisco Case

san FRANCISCO. March 20.-Judge
Hunt yesterday gave instructions to jury
in his court which have important bearing
upon the many suits now being brought
against various insurance companies which
failed to pay the amount OIL their risk on
the ground that a clause in the policies
provided that the policy would be void if
the building fell wholly or in part as a re-
suit of an earthquake.
Judge Hunt, in instructing the jury, held
that the clause applied only when the fall
ing of the part of the building affected rem

destroyed its usefulness.

Death Was Unexpected.

A dro1sical condition resulted from
Lamsdorff's malady. His death evidently
was unexpected. for. up to the last mo-
ment. his physicians said he might live
another fortnight.
During the negotiations between the
Washington administration and the gov
ernments of Russia and Japan that pre-
ceded the holding of the peace conference
at Portsmouth, Count Lamsdorff played
an important part. He was in constant
communication with George Won L. Meyer
who was then American ambassador to
Russia. and who conveyed the views of
President Roosevelt to the Russian gov
eminent.
On one occasion Count Lamsdorff de-
clined TO convey certain communication
to the emperor for Meyer. whereupon the
American ambassador promptly went over
the head of the Russian foreign minister
and communicated with his majesty him
self.

1906. when he succeeded by Baron
Iswolsky, the present incumbent of that
office.
The family of Count Iamsdorf was
originally German. His father moved
to Russia in 1917 from Westphalia, and
was granted the title by the Russian gov

visited Belgrade, Sofia and Vienna, and
as result of his diplomatic efforts at
these capitals the underst anding between

forth the famous MuerZsteg program for
the control of southeastern Europe.
Count l.amsdorff left the Russian foreign
