as one of his trustiest officers. There were
two other military men of inferior rank, halt
a dozen priests and three or four mobiles from
Southern Russia; and there, little BEHIND
the rest sat stout, red faced, heavy eyed
man. in whom Peter recognized, to his no
small astonishment, no less person than
the Governor of Moscow himself!
Good evening, gentlemen" said Peter; as
he entered ''It's. better to be indoors than
out, wet night like this"
The assassins made no reply.
To find their intended victim coming among
them so unexpectedly, instead of their hav-
ing to go and seek him, was something wnicn
they had not bargained for, and they stared
bankly at each other and at the daring
young Emperor, who had seated himself IN
their midst as quietly as if they were his
most intimate friends and had met him there
by special invitation
Even Count Sosnovieff, who was evidently
the leader of the band, looked at his accom-
plices with an air of bewilderment, quite at
a loss to tell whether the Gar had discovered
their plot, or whether it was merely some
strange accident that had brought him among
them in this unlooked-for manner.
Peter saw their confusion and inwardly en-
joyed it in his own grim way.
For some moments not word was spoken,
and in that dead gloomy silence, the drip OF
the rain outside sounded unnaturally loud,
The first of the conspirators to regain his
composure was Sosnovietf himself, who saw
at once that the foremost thing to be done
was to find out how much the Car really
knew and whether he had actually detected
them or not. -,
MAY | be permitted to ask said he, bow
ing respectfully to Peter, ito what we owe
the honor Of your Majesty's presence here
this EVENING""
'TWhy, surely I can't have made mis-.
take" answered the Emperor, in tone of
well,feigned surprise, while he ran his eye
around the circle, as il looking for some one
zanskaya Oolitza" (Kazan street,, "is it not!'
Eyes, Sire" replied Sosnovieff, looking more
"Well. then, that is where I was told to
90" said Peter with an air of admirably as
sumed impatience. "And / was to give the
password Sophia, and SO I have. but now
that / am here, I don't see anything of the
man who told me to come"
Several of the less daring plotters, began to
look uneasy. thinking that they had been
betrayed. The Gar, so they thought, must
have surrounded the house with his guards,
and then come in among them to amuse him
self with their terrors-as ne was said to be
fond of doing-before giving the signal to
But Count Sosnovief and the bolder spir-
its, though they fully shared this belief, were
determined that, If they must die, the Emper-
or himself should die along with them.

And the door, opening Just wide enough to
admit him, shut again instantly.
"Sophial" muttered the Gar, who had been
near enough to hear what passed. Aha!
my worthy sisters at work again, is she? l
thought as much. She would like nothing bet
ter, | know than to put me out OF the
way, and then reign in my stead; but, al
though this is not the first time that she has
tried to kill me. I'll take good care that 1T
shall be the last"
Three or four more persons entered the
house while Peter watched, and although ne
could see nothing of their faces, he teit GER
tain that their voices were familiar to hlm.
But still there was no sign of his soldiers,
and the hottempered Gar (who felt sure
that eight O'Clock was the hour at which he
had ordered them to be there) began to get
furiously angry, as he heard the last stroke of
eight toll from the great tower over the prin-
cipal gate of the Kremlin, and found himself
still alone in the street.
What was to be done? Unless the conspira-
tors were arrested at once they would be
likely enough to make their escape, and such
a chance of capturing them might never occur
again. On the other hand, if he kept prowl-
ing around the house in this way he would
certainly arouse suspicion and perhaps be
recognized, for although his cloak and slouch-
ed hat completely nlu us lace, no ulsBuise
could do much to conceal a man who stood
six feet three without his shoes.
At length the Cars growing impatience
drove him to determination from which any
man less utterly fearless than himself might
we'll have shrunk.
He resolved to venture alone into the fatal
house among these men who had sworn to
kill him, and keep them occupied till the SOL
diers could come up and seize them.
Meanwhile all the conspirators had assem-
bled and were rapidly arranging the details
of the Cars murder.
Everything had been satisfactorily settled,
and they were Just preparing to leave the
house in order to set about their work, when
strange voice outside was heard to give the
password, a heavy tramp resounded along
the passage, and then the room door swung
slowly open, and in the doorway appeared the
bold, brown face. towering form and fierce
black eyes of the very man whose death they
were plotting!
At one glance the Cars piercing eye re-
cognized several familiar faces. There was
Count Sosnovieff, big, burly, sullenlooking
man with red beard, who owned large es-
tates to the south of Moscow. There was
Colonel Krosnoff, who commanded one of
the regiments that garrisoned Moscow at that
time and had hitherto been regarded by Peter
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-12

W%NE gloomy autumn evening, nearly
200 years ago, a tall man, wrapped
NA-AN in long, gray cloak, was pacing
restlessly up and down, amid the
deepening darkness and the drizzling rain, IN
front of small house in one of the by
streets of Moscow.
Several persons had gone into it one by
one, and the tall man, watching them closely,
had noticed that each as he came up to
the door, uttered the name of Sophia"
which seemed to be password to gain them
admittance.
The few passers-by who happened to be
abroad on that dismal night, if they thought
about the gray-cloaked man at all, probably
wondered why he was such a fool as to lounge
about in the cold and wet, instead of going
home and making himself comfortable. But
they would have been considerably astonish-
ed if they had known that this strange fell
low was no other than. the Gar himself
Peter the Great, of Russia-and that the
house he was watching contained band of
men who we're plotting to murder him that
very night.
A lucky accident had revealed the plot to
one of Peters trustiest servants, who had
lost no time in reporting it to the Gar; and
Peter at once gave orders to a young officer
of his life guard to surround the mysterious
house that evening at half-past eight, and
seize every man whom he found there,
But in this case, as IN every other, the
energetic Gar could not be satisfied unless
he saw with his own eyes that his orders had
been fully obeyed; and in his impatience
(unlucl1ily for himself) he mistook the hour
that he had named, and thought he had
commanded his guardsmen to be on the spot
at eight o'clock instead of half-past. So away
he went to the street in which the conspira-
tors house stood, and, of course, found no
soldiers there.
Peter clinched his teeth savagely, and NUT
tered something that boded no good to the
poor young officer to whom he had given his
orders.
For moment he stood hesitating. as if
doubtful what to do next; and then he began
pacing slowly up and down the street, which
was now completely deserted.
1t was Just at this time that single figure,
so completely muffed as to defy recognition,
came up to the door, and, after looking eau
tiously around to see whether any one was
watching him, tapped at it thrice.
"Who is there?" asked low voice from
within.
""Sophia," replied the newcomer, in the
same tone.
