CHAPTER xxxVlll.
Murder and Mystery.

Hardy was able to leave the hospital
ON February the first and return to his
quarters at the hotel, where he was
much more comfortable, for the hos
pitfalls of Moscow are inferior to those
of other European cities of equal size.
He was pale and weak, but his appe-
tite was good and he was gaining
strength rapidly. Though he had come
off second-best in the duel, to all ap'
pearances, yet his countenance had
taken on a look not in any way char
acteristic of the man who has been
beaten or cowed by punishment. There
was something new in his eyes, and
there was an expression about his
mouth that suggested rather the man
who has fought mental fight and
won. In his conversations with Wang
he avoided all mention either OF the
princess or of her cousin. His only
desire was to close up the business in
Moscow and get back to Stryetensk
as soon as possible-get back to the
warehouses and the great water high
way that led eastward to the Pacific
ocean, to that frontier of the vast
Russian empire that lies close to Ko'
rea and scowls across the Japan sea
at Nippon and it's hive of angry buzz
zIng bees. In the preparations for de.
barture the Korean boy displayed a
competency and assiduity that were a
revelation even to Hardy. He super
intended the shipment to Stryetensk
of large orders of goods, he made val
liable suggestions, he worked till all
hours of the night, relieving his prin'
cipal of the labor of correspondence
and bookkeeping. In addition, he was
a cheerful and even amusing com
panion, whose brain was fertile in del
icate little attentions that made
Hardy's enforced detention in the no
tel less irksome.
Meantime, letters from Emery and
other advices were insistent to the
effect that war was inevitable.
On the morning of the 9TH Wang
came into the office and laid a paper
down before Hardy, pointing, without
a word, to a double-leaded article with
scare" headlines.

way station, facing the desolate, snow
covered plains. In the distance was
miserable peasant village, with
matched roofs. The train luxus, the
police, all the passengers, the mortal
remains of the murdered prince, were
gone. The boy asked stolid-faced
stationmaster what had become OF his
employer, and the latter only
shrugged his shoulders and turned
away.
Wang entered the station, sat down
on a bench and thought for long
time. Then he came out on the plat
form and walked up and down for an
hour-for two hours, after which he
entered the station and passed anoth-
er hour on the bench. Though he
had not eaten since noon, he did not
feel hungry. Toward midnight a man
entered the ticket office, opened the
window and lighted a lamp. Wang
stepped up to the window.
DO you expect train?" he asked.
Eyes, in half an hour"
Going which way?"
ITO Moscow"
"How much is the fare?"
The agent told him. and the boy
found that he had enough money with
him to pay for third-class ticket and
leave a few roubles over, sufficient to
buy food. He procured ticket, and
when the train Numbered up to
the station he boarded it and soon
was speeding back to the Muscovite
capital. Arriving there after two days

the hot-headed, childish and unwar-
rantable demands of the islanders.
WELL" he commented, "even this
does not mean war. Russia will sim
ply wait-she has always been wait
ing, and the Japanese must strike the
first blow If they want war"
wait and see," was Wang's only
reply.
1t was only two days later that
Hardy became aware that something
extraordinary had happened. Toward
evening the city was seized with ex-
element Some great, some terrible
news was in the air. Men were talk
ing excitedly in the corridors of the
hotel, groups were gathering in the
streets, hoarsely shouting. Wang was
out, so Hardy rang for a bellboy and
asked him what was the matter.
"Matter!" cried the boy; 1.-THE Jap
anese have captured Port Arthur!
They have murdered 100000 Chris
tians. They have sunk the whole
Russian fleet, treacherously, falsely, in
the night. The car will send great
army and kill every cursed Japanese
on earth. l am going, Ivan Nekres-
soy is going-we are all going. Curse
the Japanese"
my God!' exclaimed Hardy as the
excited boy left, slamming the door,
they are at it in earnest, and the
Japanese have struck hard. This
means war, indeed. If the Russian
navy has been destroyed it means a
long war. Wang will be wild"
At this moment the Korean entered,
but, to Hardy's surprise, he was not
carried away by excitement. There
was a hectic spot on each yellow
cheek, and his eyes were burning, but
he was self-contained.
"Well, Wang" said Hardy, you
were right, after all, and the Japanese
have attacked. I have heard some
very wild rumors Have you learned
anything definite?"
Eyes," replied Wang; what seem to
be reliable reports have arrived. The
mikado's fleet last night attacked the
Russian ships at Port Arthur and sank
the Czarevitch and the Retvizan, two
of the heaviest battle-ships in the
cars navy, and the Pallada, a cruiser.
The Russians are very indignant,
naturally, but they should save their
feelings. The Japanese have only be-
gun"
Within two weeks after the break
ing out of the war, during which time
many disastrous blows were struck at
the naval prestige of Russia, Hardy
was ready for the long railway jour
ney back to Stryetensk
Wang secured a firSt-class compart-
ment for his master, and second-class
accommodations for himself, and the
two drove to the great terminal sta
ton, which commodious building they
found crowded with officers of every
rank, military officials and Red Cross
nurses fastening to Vladivostok and
the front.
Among these, Hardy noticed the gal
liant, towering form of Boris Romanoif,
attired in officers cap and cloak. The
prince was surrounded by group OF
officers, with whom he was talking
He noticed Hardy and gave him a look
of hate. The American turned his
eyes quickly away and busted himself
with identifying his baggage and get
ting it aboard.
On the morning of the third day out
from Moscow the prince was found
murdered in his compartment. He
was lying peacefully sleeping in his
berth, the last long sleep, with slen-
der stilletto sticking in his heart.

81 know nothing of the duel which
your honor alluded to as having taken
place." replied Wang. The boy showed
not the slightest sign of fear. His vel
low face was flushed, he held his head
high and looked the judge defiantly
in the eyes.
you know nothing of it?" roared
the latter. do not attempt to deceive
the court. We know more than you
think. Did not this Hardy tell you
that he had fought a duel with his
highness?"
"He told me also that he was an Amer
ican," replied Wang, land since your
honor intimates that his word is unre'
liable"
Make another note-'witness inso-
lent'-did he or did he not tell you
that such a duel had been fought?"
"He did"
"Ah! he did, That he was seriously
wounded in that duel as result of his
highness' superior GOODNESS and mark
manship, we know. We also are &C
quainted with the causes of said duel;
that his highness was obliged to chas'
tise this Hardy for presumption and
insolence; and that it was in accord
ance with the request of the princess
his cousin, that his highness shot him
All this we know. You must tell us
what threats of vengeance the
wounded man breathed out against
the prince"
None at all, your honor-absolutely
none at ALL" replied Wang, turning

too much. She has very soft heart"
Wang disappeared within the pal
ace.

In 1872. when Horace Greeley oppos-

which, then as now, held an early fall
state election, and so II sent Mr. Depew
into Maine to make several addresses
His first speech was scheduled 10 be
delivered In Lewiston, the home OF the
late Nelson Dingley. There was a
strong Liberal Republican sentiment
among the college men Of the Pine Tree
state and so IL happened that al the

himself on the platform with the pres
ident OF Bates College and several Of
his professors, as well as with the party
leaders in that locality. and the col

meeting.
The hall was packed But Mr. Depsw
noticed that while the audience was or

He did his best 10 warm II up, bus

drew forth plenty Of applause from the
college men on the platform.

A TIME FOR RECREATION.

We learn from the Washington
County News that Laverkin ward
has set aside Saturday afternoons as
a time for recreation. Every one Is
expected TO take part unless business
or labor is very urgent The idea Is
TO relieve the strain OF six days labor
to give the people a rest from anxiety
and worry and TO dispel the tendency
to Sunday amusement.
A very good idea. and we believe
IL the people generally will observe
that rule. and keep the Sabbath for
the purposes for which II is Intend
ed. they will experience both ma
terial and intellectual advancement
Il pays we'll to remember the sabbath.
Nations with a Sabbath are in the
front ranks IN Intellectual industrial
and commercial pursuits.
