"And will she be given all this, even
if the rest of US are compelled to sleep
on the decks?"
Certainly" replied the Russian.
Her highness is-her highness."
Hardy was about to declaim against
a government where the aristocracy
enjoyed such privileges, but. fortu-
nately, his French was not quite equal
to his indignation, and in the moment
of hesitation he remembered Consul
Greeners warning.
"And who in the world is the Prin-
cess Romanovna? he asked, with
slight tinge of sarcasm. He would
have liked to say "who in the dick
ems" but he did not know the French
for "the dickens"
1.-The Princess Romanovna," ex-
planned the Russian, belongs to one
of the Oldest families in the empire.
She Is a distant relative of the czar,
who is my imperial master"-and here
he took his hat off, "She is immense
ly rich and has city palaces at Mos
COW and Petersburg, besides country
estate near the former city. She is as
wealthy as she is beautiful"
"She must be very wealthy, then"
said the American, with conviction.
The Russian smiled.
Monsieur speaks the truth" he
said. "He is also like all Americans,
very gallant. When we take zakouska
again, we will drink to the Princess
Romanovna"
With pleasure" said Hardy.
After two very comfortable nights
the train bearing Frederick Courtland
Hardy arrived, about noon, at Kha-
barovka, on the lordly Amur 1t had
been raining and the low wooden sta
tion resembled an ark stranded in
seas of black mud
Hardy found an agent of the COM
pany awaiting him here, a San Fran
ciscan, who nearly fell on his neck
at seeing a fellow countryman and
hearing again the English language
spoken. He did not know that Amer
leans could become so demonstrative.
His goods were loaded upon a telega,
sort of long boat upon wheels and
without springs, and were sent away
to the Alexsay at it's wharf, two or
three miles distant, while Hardy and
the agent took seats in a droshky and
tore furiously away to the company's
store, over rocks and through ruts

fortunate for me you came out to take
me off, for my knowledge of Russian
is, as yet, rather limited"
You can start up the river day
after tomorrow" replied the Vladi'
vostok agent, ION the Alexsay, which
goes as far as Blagovestchensk. You
will be quite comfortable on her, and
will be likely to get room all to
yourself, as l understand she is not
crowded"
That will suit me perfectly" said
Hardy. Il see no reason for lingering
here, fascinating as the town looks,
any longer than is necessary"
by the way" volunteered the 9th.
er, you will have quite a distin-
guished travelling companion, If you

manovna, who has been here visiting

made a sensation in the garrison so.

and puddles, the mud spraying in a
centrifugal shower from the humping
and whizzing wheels.
Tell him to drive slower" shouted
Hardy. I'VE have plenty of time"
mo power on earth could make a
Russian cabman drive Slow" replied
the agent; they are the lineal de,
scendants of Jehu, and their speed is
part of their natures. You might
as well try to make the Amur run up
hill"
That night, in darkness as black as
ink and in a drizzling rain, Hardy
went on board the AleXsay, to begin
his long journey up the Amur. The
water, the agent informed him; was
rising. owing to the recent rains, and
there would be little danger of ground
ing. The trip to Blagovestchensk
should be made in five days.

piled Hardy. 'T came here to work,
not to mingle in fashionable society
and, ow,"-suddenly remembering
his changed fortunes-"it is not like
ly that a princess would become wild
ly enthusiastic over a storekeeper."
The next morning Hardy took his
place in the railway train bound north
through Siberia for Khabarovka, on
the Amur. He had obtained a first
class compartment and sat waiting for
the train to pull out on schedule time
eight o'clock.
The hour arrived but the train did
not move. A quarter-past, half-past,
and still there were no signs of de-
parture. At last, impatient, he arose
and stepped out into the long narrow
hall that ran the entire length of the
car. An intelligent-looking Russian
was pacing up ana down, and him
Hardy asked in the best French at his
command
what is the matter? Why do we
not start?"
"On attend" replied the Russian;
they are waiting for the Princess Ro-
manovDa-ah! here she comes now"
The American looked from the win
dow. A droshky was driving up. and
in it sat a tall, slender and exquisite
ly graceful woman, fairly smothered
in costly flowers that filled the car
riage and were piled beside her on the
seat Her face was of the purest Rus
sian type, her complexion was marvel
Gus, her eyes were a laughing blue,
and her hair was of the color of ripe
wheat.
"By Jove!" sighed Hardy, but she's
a thoroughbred and beauty, tool"
The princess took plenty Of time for
her adieus, after which she languidly
and gracefully entered the car The
I officers brought her flowers in to her
/ and descended to the platform, where
/ they stood in an adoring and sorrow,

There is little spice of danger at
tending the journey" said the agent,
on taking leave; "the ship that went
up ahead of this was fired on by Man
churian brigands. I saw several bull
let holes in her side myself, made by
rifle balls. But I hardly think you
need feel much apprehension. Since
the Cossacks destroyed Aigun and
killed every living man, woman and
child that could not get away the
Chinese have been pretty quiet. That
taught them a lesson they will not
soon forget. have heard it rumored
that they have been somewhat en-
boldened of late by Japanese agita-
tors who are working among them.
The Japanese, they tell me, are talk
ing of war with Russia. Foolish peo-
pie! The Russians would eat them
up. Japan would be a Russian prov

of hostilities. 'Twould be a pity, too
Japan is a picturesque country, as
] remember It,"
Hardy laid under his bed that night
an American rife. the property of the
Trading Company, taken by the
agents advice from the stores in
Khabarovka.
He slept soundly, but had a vivid
dream of the Princess Romanovna
and Aisome racing over a Siberian
meadow, the one in a droshky and
the other in jinrikisha.

talk to her, as she might have dis
couraged any advances. Anything of
this kind would have hurt his pride,
for the Courtland Hardys maintain
the fiction of family superiority, and,
in their hearts, believe themselves
Just as good as anybody" as the old
song says of My Aunt Sally.
1t was during one of the long delays
caused by the necessity of taking on
wood, that Hardy's acquaintance with
the princess began. The Alexsay was
stern-wheeler, drawing 31a feet of
water, and she stopped five or six
times each "a hours for fresh fuel
supply, the men bringing it, two and
two, on long bars down the steep
bank and across the springy plank to
the deck. -
Learning that there would be a stop
of about three hours. Hardy went out

CHAPTER X.
Her Hlehness Smiles.

The trip from Khabarovka to Bla-
govestchensk occupied five days and
was uneventful when compared with
the more exciting happenings that be-
fell Courtland Hardy and his fellow
passengers farther on. Still, two or
three things occurred worthy of
record; one, at least, that Hardy him
self regarded as epochal in his life.
He came into direct contact with the
Princess Romanovna and acquired a
nodding acquaintance with her. AS
this befell on the first day out, and as
she nodded to him once each day,
namely, in the morning. his good for
tune brought to him four mods and as
many very sweet smiles between Kha-
barovka and Blagovestchensk. 1t was
perhaps fortunate that he could not

SYNOPSIS.

Frederick Hardy, fashionable Boston
society man, lost his wealth, was Tilted
by girl and sent by a friend to take
scharge of an American Trading Company
store In Russia. on his journey through
Japan he met Stapletou Neville sup
posedly an Englishman. They agreed 10
go together to Russia Because OF sus-
pIcious circumstances they were several
times molested by the japanese. Hardy
was arrested and found upon his person
were papers showing maps of Jap forts
Hardy was proven guiltless. On train
he met Aisome Sano, daughter of a Jap
merchant In Nevilles shoes Jap FOUND

Russian spy. Hardy departed for Rus
sia on a steamer. which was wrecked
shortly afterward. He was rescued by
"a Russian steamer. On reaching Vladi-
vostoll he was well treated. He started

There were no convicts anywhere in
sight, no fields of ice or snow. In
stead, he was journeying on a pleas
ant summers day through a vividly
green prairie, wide as the eye could
reach, where fat cattle waded up to
their knees in lush grass, and yellow
dandelions, as large as tea saucers,
and fierce tiger-lilies, swayed and
nodded by the million in the balmy
breeze He had expected to find some
thing different somehow, in the as
pect of Siberia itself, something sinis-
ter and forbidding. Yet this, save for
the greater luxuriance of the vegeta-
tion and the profusion and brilliancy
of the flowers. might have been a
stretch of Minnesota or Manitoba.
Weary at last of sitting, Hardy
went out into the long hall at one side
of the car and walked up and down.
Here he found the Russian who spoke
French, also promenading, and
squeezed against the wall several
times to let him pass.

sian.

q hardly think so, but the Princess
Romanovna is going on her, and it is
likely that all the best accommoda-
tions will have been reserved for her.
Fortunately, she does not seem to be

CHAPTER TX.
Into Siberia.

Into Siberia.
The journey into Siberia was begun!
Siberia, that vast mysterious region
whose very name has come to be
synonymous with all that is most
dreaded by the human race-exile,
eternal farewells, the clanking of
chains over endless frozen roads, the
knout, despair, all the horrors of a
living death!
Hardy sat in his compartment of
one of the first-class cars and gazed
from the window, eagerly scanning
the landscape for some sign or evil
dence of the things that had given the
country it's sinister reputation. His
first impression, as the train left
Vladivostok behind. was a complete
refutation of all preconceived notions.
