Stackelberg blushed up to his
ears.
"Ah, princess, do you suspect me
OF playing the part of your Judge

He rose, and with an offended
air stalked toward the door.

suspicious, continued Wanda,

She held out her hand, but Vas.
sill hesitated to take it.
Wanda feared that she had been
guilty of imprudence. She must
redeem her fault and regain the
good graces Of this crooked indi-
vidual.

Vassili.

Vassili bowed. How can l resist
such an invitation" he said, when
would go to the end of the world
only to look once more at those
beautiful eyes!"
Wanda placed her finger upon
her lips.
Hush! or we shall quarrel
again."
The prince kissed the hand she
held out to him, and withdrew.
He had hardly lowered the por-
there behind him when Wanda
spoke, making a movement of pro-
found disgust:
What a fair spoken, Shiny crea-
ture! That kiss was equal to a
viper's bite"
She rubbed it off with her other
hand.
Later, to Katia, she repeated in
detail her interview with Stacked,

"She will not let herself be

and that she is making fun of me"
He resolved to strike one more
blow, in order to surprise her.
He spoke abruptly.
Il am intimately acquainted with

At these words, Wanda could not
help trembling slightly. She winked
her eyes quickly, as il she had
received a blow.

II have heard of that society,""
said Wanda, in a perfectly natural
tone of voice; secret societies
always interest me-"
1T Is not, properly speaking, a
secret society, 1t Is rather a kind
of propaganda"

Their program is not at all mine. I
am not as radical as that; but, in
following out the plan that / pro.

Prince Vassin Antonovitch Stack

those German families that Peter
the First transplanted into every
administration of the empire.
Thanks to their tenacious rapacity,
and their patient faculty, for slow

the government.

Now, Vassili was watching and
listening to Wanda uneasily. Was
she joking, or was shes in earnest ?
Was she playing a part? Did she
suspect the obpect of his visit?
He changed his tactics.

Peterson had served in the capacity of
chairman of the village board, distinctions
which indicate the genuine worth of Mr..
Peterson as citizen, and his attachments
as business man and executive.
Mr.. Peterson has been a resident of
Durand for seven years, where he settled
in order to homestead section of timber
and farm land. A native of Denmark,
he migrated direct to the place where
he now resides, and his prosperity in his

ample of what Beltrami county has to
offer to the true husbandman of the soil.
Mr. Peterson is among the county's
most responsible and able men. Public
spirited to the last letter, firm believer
and advocate in and for the greatness
of this county, Mr.. Peterson is indeed
to be appreciated not only for his quail
ties as resident Of Beltrami county but
because he has so rapidly assembled the
ladder of success, an element which goes
to show how he is esteemed by his
neighbors.
