"And will she be given all this, even
II 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
Greener's warning.
And who in the world is the Prin-
cess Romanovna?" he asked, with a
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"
"The Princess Romanevna," ex-
planned the Russian, belongs to one
of the oldest families in the empire.
She is distant relative Of the czar,
he took his hat off. "She is immense
ly rich and has city palaces at Mos
COW and Petersburg, besides a 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 CORTLAND
Hardy arrived, about noon, at Kha-
barovka, on the lordly Amur. 1t had
been raining and the low wooden sta
ton resembled an ark stranded in
seas of black mud.
Hardy found an agent of the COM
pany awaiting him here, 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 telega,
sort of long boat upon wheels and
without springs, and were sent away
to the Alexsay at its wharf, two or
three miles distant, while Hardy and
the agent took seats in droshky and
tore furiously away to the company's
store, over rocks and through ruts

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 I understand she is not
crowded"
"That will suit me perfectly" said
Hardy. 81 see no reason for lingering
here, fascinating as the town looks,
any longer than is necessary"

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 wildly
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 SIMS
ter and forbidding. Yet this, save for
the greater luxuriance of the vegeta-
ton 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.
Pardon, monsieur" said this gen
tleman as the train stopped, "but we
remain here long enough to take
zakouska. Perhaps you feel the need
of refreshment? Do you know what
the zakouska is?"
"Oh, yes" replied Hardy, laughing,
81 know what zakouska is very we'll.
1 should indeed like some"
"Have you secured your compart-
ment on the Alexsay?" asked the Rus
sian.
NO" replied Hardy, why? Will
the boat be crowded."
81 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
travelling with much Of suite. Her
highness viii probably require two or
three cabins for herself, a couple for
her baggage, one for each of her two
maids, and one for her man."
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1910-05-06

talk to her, as she might have dis
couraged any advances. Anything of
this kind would have hurt his pride,
for the CORTLAND 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
a stern-wheeler, drawing 31k feet of
water. and she stopped five or six
times each "a hours for a 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 stop
of about three hours. Hardy went out

centrifugal shower from the humping
and whizzing wheels.
"Tell him to drive slower" shouted
Hardy. 1--WE 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
a 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

CHAPTER X.
Her Hiehness Smiles.

The trip from Khabarovka to Bla-
govestchensk occupied five days and
was uneventful when compared with
the more exciting happenings that be-
fell CORTLAND 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

"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. / saw several bull
let holes in her side myself, made by
rifle balls. But / hardly think you
need feel much apprehension. Since

that they have been somewhat en-

remember it."
Hardy laid under his bed that night
an American rifle. 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 Siberian
meadow, the one in droshky and
the other in a jinrikisha.

piled Hardy. 81 came here to work,
not to mingle in fashionable society,
and, anyhow, student 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.

and still there were no signs of de-

and stepped out into the long narrow
hall that ran the entire length of the

command:

in it sat a tall, slender and exquisite

The princess took plenty of time for
her adieus, after which she languidly
and gracefully entered the car. The
officers brought her flowers in to her,
and descended to the platform, where
they stood in an adoring and sorrow

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 its sinister reputation. His
first impression, as the train left
Vladivostok behind. was complete

.S.RCHIsTPLOT IN JAPAN.

According to Tokyo cablegram a
great anarchist plot against the Jap

ed. It's ramifcations are so extensive
and the interests involved are so enor-

forbidden to publish the details.
1t is known, however, that several
notorious agitators, disguised as Ia
borers employed in the government
factory near Matsumoto, in the Ma
geno prefecture. have been secretly
manufacturing bombs for the purpose
of killing Marquis Katsura and other
members Of the cabinet.
The ringleader is said to be Shusm

cellent writer, formerly on the staff OF
the Yorodzu. He was arrested near
