announcing that he was going to call on

The princess clapped her little

officers? The nihilists are becoming
bolder and bolder every day. Only
the severest measures will stamp out
this evil of nihilism. There is no 9TH

men, who, if they could only be made
to see it, are their own worst enemies.

Hardy noticed that the list was
headed "Elizabetha Romanovna, 1000
roubles," and that several others had
contributed equal sums. The last
name thus far obtained, and next to
which Hardy must sign, was that of
Boris Romanoff, who was down for
1000 roubles.

CHAPTER XXI
"ln the Name of the Carl"


The nihilists were thrown into
panic by this sudden move on the
part of Hardy. For the moment he
was in control of the situation,
though he was well aware that he
could not remain so for long.
The American backed to the door,
still aiming at the ball, passed
through it after some little nervous
fumbling for the knob, closed it be-
hind him and started to run rapidly
across the empty room in which he
now found himself, not without, how
ever making an effort to lock the
door, which was impossible, as there
was no key on the outside, and no
bolt.
A savage uproar broke loose in the
room which he had just quitted-the
sound of men struggling, curses.
shouts-and ere he had traversed half
the distance of the hail. the door be-
hind him few open. and half a
dozen nihilists were vomited forth.
Several of them were armed, and,
pointing pistols at Hardy, they
shrieked:
Drop that revolver, or we shoot!
you cannot escape!"
At this moment the hall door was
thrown open and a man rushed to
Hardy's side. 1t was Mordecai, the
Jew, with his red eyes, his buEhy red
whiskers his big hook-nose.
"Mr. Hardy!" he cried, my dear
pupil" and he sprang between the
American and the pistols that were
pointed at the latter's body. stop,
brothers, stop" he shrieked. what
madness is this? What is this man
accused of? know him. He is a
friend, I will vouch for him on my
life. I will defend him. If you kill
him you must kill me, too"
"He is friend of aristocrats," ex
planned Bielinski. stepping forward:
"he entered here by mistake, he says,
but 1t is possible that he is a spy.
At any rate, he knows our secret; he
has overheard our plans and he will
betray us, He must die"
And at this moment a loud ham
mering was heard on the outer or
street door.

Speak, then" commanded Bielin-
ski, "but be brief as we have weighty
matters to discuss. Do not waste
your breath in pleading for mercy"

tion of Mons. Hulin, and blow you all

With these words he suddenly
whipped the pistol from his pocket,
and, leaning forward, aimed at the
ball.

CHAPTER XxxIII.
Hardy Makes a Call.

The Princess Romanovna was at
tired in a gown of pale blue silk,
decollete, trimmed with dainty cream
lace. Her neck was encircled by a
string of pearls, of priceless purity,
evenness of size and perfection of
form. There was something in the
creamy softness and whiteness of her
skin, family, almost imperceptibly
glowing with the warm, red hue Of
health and youth, that suggested the
delicate tinting of the interior of a
sea-shell, or foam shot through with
the pearls seemed at home with such
a background.
Her shoulders were so exquisitely
modelled that revealment became a
duty and a matter of course. I'm
modesty is the child of ugliness. Her
arms were round and firm and beau
tiful when she bent them, there was
no angle at the elbow, or unsightly
projection, but a perfect, graceful
curve, and when she Strengthened
them out, the skin did not wrinkle
there and corrugate, but dimpled raw
ishingly.
AS he arose from the chair in
which he sat awaiting her entrance,
Hardy, accustomed to fashionable and
high-bred women, noticed, as she ad-
vanced toward him with welcoming
hand extended, that Der soft, light
hair was parted in the middle and
combed low over her broad forehead,
and that the thick, glossy knot, con-
fined in an invisible net, was set low
down at the nape of her neck.
She held her head high and
haughtily as the head of queen, yet
her red, full lips parted in a dazzling
SMILE. and perfect friendliness shone
from her blue eyes.
Il received your note at ten o'clock
this morning." she said in French,
in the most natural way in the world,
as though she had seen him only yes
terday, "and, fortunately, had NO
unavoidable engagement until IL"
They stood in the center of lux
urious salon, flooded with soft, rose
colored light from electric bulbs in
geniously disposed about the ceiling.
Il was very sorry" he replied, ito
disappoint myself last evening, and
alSH to put you to any possible
annoyance in waiting for me. But,
the fact is"
'But," she exclaimed, in her own
tongue, you are positively speaking
Russian! And so perfectly, too! l
can hardly believe my ears. It is in
credible! But don't let's remain
standing here like two posts. Sit
down, over here. and we will have a
nice cozy talk. can give you two
full hours"
She crossed the room to . low
divan and seated herself comfortably

on one end of it, among a mass of lux.
urious pillows.
Hardy took his place beside her and
said, easily:
"The hope Of conversing with you
some time in your own tongue, prin-
cess, has been a great incentive to
me in my studies of Russian. With
out that incentive, l should scarcely
have made such progress as you are
kind enough to credit me with"
He was at home now, more at home
than in the store at Stryetensk, or in
the wholesale houses of the Moscow
merchants, and these words of deli
cate flattery came naturally to his
lips. The princess flashed one quick,
searching look at him. The man was
a gentleman, in the conventional
sense, as well as a hero, and no more
afraid of a princess than of a Chinese
brigand.
$50 you learned Russian that you
might talk with me?" she laughed
with slight tinge of coquetry. How
perfectly charming! But" she
pouted, Il fear that your desperate
struggle with the terrible Russian
tongue is but poor compliment to
my French. Did you then find that

She did not see fit to pursue this
topic further.

have not lost all trace of him.

"Silence!" gasped Bielinski, in a
whisper-a whisper, nevertheless, that
could be heard more distinctly in the
sudden silence than a shout. What is
that?"

eled and pale, moaning as she crossed
herself rapidly:
THE police! The police!"
Again that laundering on the door
sounded through the house, and q
stern voice could be heard command
ing:
open, in the name Of the czar!"
Hardy was forgotten. The czar,
their archenemy, was at the gates of
their fortress and his name was a
word of terror. The nihilists flew
past the American on tip toe, into the
hall, several of them jostling and al
most knocking him over in their eag-
erness to escape.
Come with mel" whispered Ba-
ruch, who had regained his feet. "You
must not be found here!"-and seiz-
ing Hardy by the arm, he also jumped
for the open door. Hardy made no
resistance, and was soon running
down the long hall with the others, led
by the Jew. They came to a narrow
flight of stairs, leading to the cellar,
and down this they crowded, scram-
bling and fighting, some of them los
ing their footing and rolling to the
bottom. A loud crash arrested
Hardy's attention. He was standing
in the darkness, but at the farther
end of the hall was a hanging lamp,
turned low, and by the light of this
he could see the door fly in splinters
and the officers of the law pour in.
Throw your bomb, brother, throw
your bomb!" said Bielinski; and
Hulin, leaping like a cat into the mid
die of the passage, hurled the sphere
down the hall with an oath. There
was a muffled report, not loud, and
much 1ingling of glass. The light
went out, but, by the momentary fash
OF the explosive, Hardy could see
several policemen pitch forward on
their faces.
Come, come away!" said Mordecai,
and Hardy scurried down the dark
cellar steps with the Jew.
