that the same process was true In
respect of wheat, oats, corn, apples

Goodsell wasn't shipping my pota-

Riding back homeward on my
empty wagon, wondered, boy fash

tatoes were worth. Why didn't they
do with potatoes and such what
they did with milk?

/ She went up little alley. About
midway she perceived, standing in
doorway, a human form, muffled
up to its eyes in fur coat. She
involuntarily gave a start, and In
stantly entered house that she
had evidently been looking for.
A porter came toward her.
He said:
Russia"
She answered:
Liberty"
Then she opened door. He led
her into a room on the ground
floor, where by the dim light of a
lantern she could distinguish his
features.
"Ah! is it you, Korolef?" she
said to the pretended dvornik.
Just now, as came in,

They stopped before door
which opened into a sort of cellar,
in which were some barrels and a
chest Korolef pushed aside the
chest, and touched a spring. A
small, sklifully concealed opening
in the wall was disclosed, revealing
a narrow stairway.
Korolef began to descent the
steps, aWnda following him. When

They left the house by q back
staircase, which led to the offices,
and, passing through a little door,
found themselves In a narrow, dark
street.
At the corner of the Palace
bridge they found Fedor waiting
for them in a sled.
Wanda jumped into the light
graceful vehicle, and took the
reins; Katia seated herself by her
side; Fedor climbed up behind,
and the spirited little horse dashed
away, striking fire from the stones
OF the street In its rapid pace.

CHAPTER II.
A TWO FOLD LIFE.

Prince Kryloff loved his daughter
as parenst do who have ceased to
live and love save In their children.
She gratified his vanity as well as
his affection by her beauty, her per-
feet grace, and her cleverness, and
by the admiration which she ex-
cited wherever she went.
He was therefore much troubled
at Wanda's sudden headache and
dizziness.
1T is not anything serious" she
said. "A few hours of sound sleep
will put an end to it"
AS soon as she got home, she ran
up into her own room.
. U Quick, quick, Katia," she said to
her maid; "let us make taste!
They must be waiting so impa-
tiently for u.s."
She tore off her bracelets, the
gold band in her hair, the clasps
that fastened her dress and threw
them all, with the greatest haste,
upon little round table.
you look beautiful this evening,
dear princess!" exclaimed Katia.
What do you mean, Katia?
have told you expressly that I de-
sire you to call me Wanda, not
princess. Understand me nok, once
for all, wetched aristocrat!"
Someone might overhear us. y

But who Is there to overheal

that. Sometimes the princess

am playing. am not yet as "sim-
plified' as you think am; but do
not consider myself better than
you. Did you not give up your in
dependence to come here and teach
me the new faith?"
Katia was brushing the princess
superb hair. She took her lovely
head with both hands, and STOPPING
over, kissed Wanda on the fore
head.
1--WE have heard compliments
enough" she said Nov that there
Is so much to do for the cause, we
must not waste our time in words.
Katia Lawinska was the daughter
of a Pale. Her father had obtained
nm important post in Poland, and
harried his countrymen in the most
oppressive way.
Katia, disguised with the conduct
Of her father, left his house. and
went to Zurich as student
thence she came to Petersburg to
study medicine. so as to be able to
support herself.
At Zurich. as well as at Peters
burg. she found herself thrown in
with a set of socialist students
Their doctrines inflamed her youth

Shehad met at Zurich cele
brated Russian physician named
Michael Federoff. who had confided
j; to her a secret mission In Peters
burg.
There she had been presented tc
Wanda Kryloff by Pole named
Padlewsky. Finding that she had
not money enough to continue hei
studies, she applied for help to the
princess, who was known to be
very generous toward her mothers
countrymen.
Wanda became deeply interested
in Katia Lawinska. and the girl
very probably following out her sc
cret instructions, asked to be al
lowed to enter the service OF the
princess; and In this humble capa
city had undertaken to convert he,
mistress to her own doctrines.
She had succeeded beyond hei
fondest hope.
