here for you. Here you may hide in
absolute secrecy until your appear
ance may be altered and you may
seek the habitation proper to your

Garnold smiled approval of the ar
rangement and wondered what his
imperial position might be. Perhaps

At present he was more concerned
| with his comfort and, at tin basin

The cabbage soup and the black
| bread were more acceptable to
hearty appetite than they were to the
more esthetic sense of sight and smell
and to his surprise Garnold made a
hearty meal. This he topped with
| cigar. giving one to VASTLY. as he
had learned his guide to be named.
| Their was little time for smoking,
though, for presently VASTLY an
nounced that they must prepare for
the meeting. and he rose to help Gar
mold into his coat.
| This time they set out on foot, and
It was short walk to one of the lit
tie halls which dot the section of the
city east of the Bowery, and which
serve as dance halls and synagogues,
according to the needs of the moment.
| VASTLY led the way to an ante
room, where they were visited by two
men in masks and black dominos, who
presented to Garnold the president of
the Center.
Garnold answered as we'll as he
could their questions as to the state
of affairs in Russia, and his manner
of escape from Siberia.
Some things said by VASTLY had
given him a clearer idea of the es-
cape, and he was able to avoid arous-
ing suspicion, but he was glad when
