CHAPTER x.
Her Hiohness Smiles.

FtST F1l9HHSSS 0HiIlSos
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
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
lust 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 3A 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 stop
of about three hours, Hardy went out
with one Julius Smulders to take q
long walk in the woods, to gather wild
flowers and to catch a sight Of one
of the cuckoos, that fill the forests OF
Siberia with their strange cries, ex
acty as though millions of invisible
Swiss clocks were hanging among the
trees. On their return, the two mer
J heard the sound of shooting.

first impression, as the train left
Vladivostok behind, was a complete
refutation of all preconceived notions.
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-
ton and the profusion and brilliancy
of the flowers. might have been q
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,

sian.
No." replied Hardy, why? Will

Il 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 will probably require two or
three cabins for herself, q couple for
her baggage, one for each of her two
maids. and one for her man."
"And will she be given all this, even
il 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 aristoGracy
enjoyed such privileges. but, fortu'
nately, his French was not quite equal
to his indignation, and in the moment
of hesitation hs remembered Consul
Greener's warning.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained In One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak tho
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces Of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
