Colonel S.nr,2 was missing and had been s' ,l ,l,,3n. Eis baggage had also been ovcrhauled. and the officers seemed much chagrmed at the mans escape.
 Colonel Jayne had known absolutely nothing of the German before meeting him at the hotel In London. He had taken the man for what he claimed to ~bc. He had no idea that he was an lmDostor. so far as name and rank went and that he was one of the most active nihilsts in or out of Russia. Tho three men that had approached the American on the streets probably belonged to that order as well. The German happened to be returning to Russia at that time, and accident had discovered the two men to each other After being under examination for half a dcy Colone. Jayne was sent to an official higher up. Here he was met by the papers taken from his baggage. He had made months stay in L2n. don before starting for Russia and had received several letters from friends at home. One of them had jocosely written:
 Don't forget that the first thing to be done on your arrival in St. Peters burg Is to call on the emperor and give him any love and tell him, to hang on to his job as long as the pay comes tn every SOtWday night"
 How can you. person entirely un- known here, secure audience with his maicsty?" was asked.
 "I can't. of course" was the reply.
 Then why should this person have thus wrlttcn?"
 He Is what we-call q joker"
 Joker? Joker? Does he dare hold his majesty up to ridIcule! And you are to give his love to the czar of all Russia. just as one peasant woman sends her love to another! And how Is this about holding his job? What does ob mean:"
 His place. sir"
 But his mujesty's place is the high. st in the land and to speak of 1t as
 yoA' Is to speak with dlsrespcct Ind the pay every Saturday night, as f the great czar was but a common aborer!
 "I shall taac great pleasure in telling the writer of that letter what an ass he is the very first thing when I get home" replied the colonel.
 And here Is another letter in which you are advised not to make any eX- curslons to Siberia in the winter sea- son. People are sent to Siberia for serious ofTcnSes against the law. Were
 ol contemplating crime that this person should write you thus? It must he sO."
 "Pn recommend him to the nearest idiot asylum" promised the colonel
 The examination lasted three days In all, during which time the American was a prisoner and lived on prison fare. Then, accompanied by two gen. darmes, he was escorted to the German frontier and warned never to set foot in Russia again. Colonel Swarz got Into Germany ahead of him, and they met again, but when the German ex- tended his hand the other drew him. Self up stifIiy and replied:
 NO, sir! No, sir! don't know you, sir!' M. QUAD.
