ran away from exclusive st. Paul's
school, Long island, to become COW
puncher, deputy sheriff, ranch
boss and United States marshal
In Wyoming and Oklahoma, is 60
ing to Panama as chief of police
maybe.
Out west they say Porter's a
good man, with nerve of steel,
and good executive ability. But
he's a cousin of Mrs. Theo. Roose4
welt, and there are certain parties
at Washington who confirm
treaties and appointments and
things, who don't like to see q
nephew-in-law of the man they
dislike get $500 year job. So
they haven't confirmed Porter's
appointment to the canal job.
Out here regret is heard that
Porter is caught in the web of ma
tfonai politics and dislikes. They
say he is deserving.
For dr0svenor A. Porter is a
tenderfoot who has made good,
lie has stood ali the rigorous tests
the west puts on its men, and
passed. He knows hard work, the
midntght watch, the day and night
ride. the smell OF powder; he
knows roping and branding and
broncho busting, cattle thief chas-
ing, and desperate boarding; he
knows Indians and greasers and
bad men and gamblers and cow
punchers. He is dead sh vt and
only 38 years old.

the raid of Johnson county, In
which he figured conspicuously

period of Wyoming's history, and
Porter served through four years

In 1904 Porter moved to Ok

A Plot.

A Plot.
Wanda touched a bell, and Ka-
tia appeared.
Bring me my hat and coat (;
and if Raymond Chabert calls
while 1 am out tell him to wait
for me or else to come back to-
morrow morning"
She drove to Padlewsky's.
Padlewsky lived on the right
bank of the Neva, in a little house
full of flowers and birds and ami
mails of all kinds. This quiet, re-
spectacle hermitage was a rendez-
vous for the socialists. All his
servants, of whom he had 10,
were socialists in disguise.
Although this was his home, he
was but seldom to be found in it;
and Wanda, in company with Ko-
roleff, whom she found there, was
compelled to seek him elsewhere.
They drove along the quay as
far as Vassili Ostrow. Then Ko-
|roleff got down and opened the
door. Send your carriage away"
he said in French. Wanda order
ed Nadege's coachman to drive
home.
Koroleff led Wanda into a shop
outside of which were hanging old
clothes.
Come in here" he said. "You
cannot go with me dressed as you
are in that handsome cloak and
hat"
Wanda was soon disguised in an
old hat and waterproof. Then they
turned into the street that runs
between the Acedamy of Fine Arts
and the School of Cadets. 1t was
the first time that Wanda had
ever penetrated into this part of
the town.
where are We goins?" she
asked.
ITO Isaac's tavern"
Shall We find Padlewsky
Ithere?"
Eyes; he has gone there to
meet two agents of the Third Sec
ltion."
"Of the Third section?" said
Wanda In dismay.
eve have our police in the
Third section" answered Koro-
left.
But can you trust them?"
ITO be sure We can. They are
nihilists. We have some of our
men among Trepoff's police, like
wise"
At the corner of little street,
Koroleff stopped. "This rs our
place." he said.
Entering. he ushered Wanda in
to small study. There sat Pad
lewsky with two strangers, all
three disguised.
On a table, lighted by a smoky
candle, stood some glasses, the
eternal samoyas, and a bottle of
krass.
Have you heard the news?"
said Wanda, as soon as she came
in. Count Litzanoff is arrested. {"
1--WE were just talking about
it," answered Padlewsky.
Ellis wife is nearly crazy; that
is why I have come here to see
you, and to tell you what we have
done"
Il have news of the prisoner"
said Padlewsky, brought by our
friends here. This is the Princess
Wanda Kryloff," he said, turning
to the two individuals; "you can
be perfectly easy"
We'll, what have you found
out?" asked Wanda.
HE has just undergone an ex-
animation; he was superb, magni-
ficent; but his answers have very
much aggravated his situation,
and he will probably be sent to ST.
IBERIA"
But he is ILL.," interrupted
Wanda; che may die in prison.
Upon my advice his wife has writ

asking that her husband may be
sent to the hospital"
They all approved of this. "If
we can obtain that, we can easily
liberate him. What do you think,
Koroleff?"
Koroleff simply bowed his
head.
Let us try" said Wanda.
