In less than five minutes Wanda
and Fedor had reached the tall
house which Katia had gone into
an hour before.
"Wait for me at the quay!" said
the princess.
Fedor drove off instantly.
She went toward the dvornik, or
porter, who, as Is the custom In
Russia, was stationed outside OF
the house.
"Will you let me in?"
whom do you want to see?"
"Alex Lazareff, the engraver.
! The dvornik, stupefIed by sold
and vodka, gave himcelf q shake,
and admitted her.
Wanda climbed three flights of
steps and knocked at a door.
A small opening, concealed In
the woodwork. revealed itself. and
an eye. cautiously applied. scanned
the landing and the staircase.
Wanda gave her name.
Instantly the door, grating on Its
hinges. flew open.
The princess entered little
sntechamber, furnished as an Of

New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtain.
able in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam, has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cages of eczema and other distress
ing skin Affections. Heretofore
poslam has been dispensed solely
for the benefit of eczema patients
in large jars sufficient for
months treatment. This was found
to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes. acne, scaly
scalp. complexion blemishes. itch
ing feet, piles, etc. which require
but a small quantity to cure. To
overcome this. and in response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers of
poslam have been obliged to adopt
in addition to the regular two-dol
lar packages, a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's drug stores, and other lead
ing drug stores in Spokane. or
may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 32
West 25th street, New York City.
In all eczema cases poslam stops
itching with first application, and
proceeds to heal Immediately;
chronic cases being cured in two
weeks. In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an
overnight application.

PRINCE KRYLOFF.

When Wanda and Katia reached
their home it was 4 o'clock in the
morning.
To their great surprise, instead
Of finding everything dark and ST
lent, they saw lights fitting from
window to window, and perceived
that there was general commo
ton.
"Ah, your excellency, may the
saints protect us!" cried out the
dvornick; "the prince is like mad
man. He has found out that your
excellency is not in the house. He
has been beating us all; he wants
to turn us all off for having al
lowed wou to 60 out without tell
ing him"
rs the prince up?" asked
Wanda.
"Oh, yes! He asks every min
ute if your excellency has come
home
wait here, dear Katia; l prefer
to brave his anger alone"
She boldly mounted the marble
staircase which led to her apart
ments.
Upon hearing the noise, the
prince had opened the. door.
He was very pale; his features
contracted with rage.
where have you been?" he said
in choking voice.
IF you will allow me, father;
will not tell you now; you are not
in a condition to listen to me-"
"Tell me at once; will know
Il cannot tell you before l obtain
permission to do so. 1t is a secret
which does not concern me alone.
Permission to answer me? A
secret from your father!"
Wanda did not say word.
The prince came toward her in a
threatening attitude; then suddenly
checking his fury, he lowered his
voice.
"You know, my daughter, that I
love you more than anything in the
world. l implore you, do not irri-
tate me; am afraid that in fit

speak"
Motionless, she leaned against a
wall and crossed her arms.
Then the prince, intoxicated with
rage, rushed upon her and struck
her in the face.
"Your own mothers child! II
you leave this house again at night
l will put you under lock and key
LAS you did my mother" said
Wanda, fixing her eyes, full of in
dignation and revolt. upon her
fathers face.
When he heard these words
shuddering at this look, as If some
terrible recollection had overcome
him, he said in a low voice:
"As ] did you mother!"
Before the naughty. contempt
uous attitude of his daughter, his
head dropped and he withdrew.
Wanda stood for an instant as
though nailed to the wall by the
insult she had received.
AS soon as she had come to her
self she called Katia. and threw
herself into her arms.

o'clock, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Lempke was the scene OF gay
little gathering, the occasion being
a birthday party given as surprise

enioyed with games until they we're

Mrs. Lempke, where a dainty repast
OF Ice cream and cake was served.
After partaking of the refreshments
and wishing their little hostess many
happy returns of the day, the child

the recipient of many beautiful pres

Tuesday was red letter day with
