Paul OblOnsky's Ruse.

Paul 0blonslSy, d Russian comedian,
having become interested with his
countrymen In the cause of political
liberty, left the stage and became a
writer In behalf Of the ear
While Oblonsky was publishing his
pamphlets, which were all eminently
satisfactory to the government, he was
engaged n disseminating literature Of
an egdrely different kind. He made
journeys from his home to different
points to organize, advise and encDur-
age different secret societies that rep
resented the most radical element Of
the revolution. Of course tile day
came when he was reported to the POI
lice as a suspect, but so wary had he
been that the chief would not believe
he was reYolutionist
One day telegram came to the POI
lice at st. Petersburg that meeting Of
revolutionists had been broken up at
Moscow and man resembling Paul
Oblonsky hid got away. The chief
sent at once to 0blonsky's house to
discover IL be was at home. The man
who went Oh The errand knew Obion-
sky by sight and as he approached the
house saw him sitting at an upper
window. He returned and reported
the fact to his superior.
Not long after this a spy of the gov
eminent In Warsaw reported that OBJ
lonskyk was one OF band of consplra-
tors. Of which he (the spy was also 4
member StFii doubling the truth Of
information duplicating. man who
had defended the government, the
chief sent the same messenger he had
used before to Oblonsky's house. On
the way the messenger met Oblonsky
fl carriage driving with his sister.
The chief was puzzled Those who
use spies are never certain but that
they are spies OF the enemy. However.

time Obionsky was seen ia Warsaw
the occurrence be at once reported. In
few days a telegram came announc-
ing that Oblonsky had been seen enter
ing that lily from the suburbs in d
drosity The informant was not IN the
ply of the government: therefore OBJ
lonsky was not followed. The chief
sent one Of his best men at once to
0bi0Bslsy's mouse. directing him to
make sure whether or no 0blonsky
was there. He was to go in and speak
with him. 0blonsky had been seen en-
tering Warsaw an hour before the re-
ceipt Of the telegram. He surely would
not have had time to return before
the official could get to his house. Al
the .nlessengeg approached he looked
up at the window where Oblonsily was
accustomed to read or write, bat II
was not there. Entering the house,

lures objectionable to the government.
Indeed said the old lady, Il will
call my son, who viii hand you one
himself Thereupen she went up
stairs, and who should come down but
ObIonsky himself, with the pamphlet
in his hand. The official wished him
good day, took the pamphlet and re-
turned to the chief Immediately an
order was sent to Warsaw to send the
person who had seen Oblonsky enter
ing the city to st. Petersburg. A man
arrived the next day who declared that
he knew 0blonsky well, and he had
certainly seen him as he had reported.
The chief sent for oblonsky ostenslbly
to discuss the objectionable passage In
HIS pamphlet, but really to subject him
to the view Of the informer from Mos
COW. The informer ut once declared
that Oblonsky was the man he had
seen IN the drosky entering Warsaw.
The chief was now satisfied that
there had been mistake He gave or
ders for the secret police to watch
those who had reported against OBJ
lonsky. thinking that they might be
reyolutionists endeavoring to get rid
Of a friend OF the government
Ono morning on official occupying
high position In the government was
found murdered in his Office. Among
those reported 10 have left the Office
shortly before the finding Of the body
was Oblonslzy FOR the FIRST time the
chief began to believe that Oblonsky
was a reyoIutionlst, and il SO he must
be one Of the most adroit as well as
most dangerous of the lot The chief
did not order Oblonsky's arrest, but
surrounded his house with spies. They
reported that every morning and after
noon Oblonsky sat at his window writ
ing. But when they reported that with
the most careful watching they could
not detect the slightest movement the
chief sent an official to arrest him.
The official found the suspected
mans mother and sister. who declared
that OblOnsky was in bis room writing
an important article in defense Of the
government and had given orders that
he was not TO be interrupted The Off
cIal brushed past them and went up
stairs to the room. There sat 0bIonsky.
but not whit startled at the Interrupt
ton, for he did not even look IN. He
was a dummy, the exact image OF OBJ
lonsky. Oblonsky had left ST. Peters
burg the morning Of the assassination
and was now being smuggled across
the frontier
The moment the official saw the dunn
my he remembered having seen OBJ
lonslxy on the mimic stage in play
wherein II was necessary to make him
appear there while absent changing
his costume For this purpose lay
flgure had been constructed SO nearly
Ike the actor that the closest scrutiny
from the audience could not detect the
fraud The figure had represented the
revoiutionist at his window except on
the occasion OF his having been seen
driving both in St. Petersburg and
Warsaw, His sister had taken It to
warsaw for the purpose of misleading
the police.
