to Hardy, whether you are member

are you here?"
THE explanation is very simple, !"
replied Hardy in French, in which
language the question had been di-
rected. II am an American merchant,
residing in Stryetensk. l have an ac-

hung 1t upon a nail He then took his
seat, by invitation, at Bielinskfs
right.
Brethren" said the latter, rising,
"of the Society of the Enemies OF
Russia!" He spoke very distinctly,
but not loud. The most absolute 81
lence prevailed. First we must de-
eide what to do with this man who
has introduced himself into our midst,
and has learned the secrets of the
order. Though l do not personally be-
lieve him to be spy, though | am
confident he was brought here by &C.
cident, yet he is not of us, and he is
friend of the naughty and wealth
pampered aristocrat whose name
forms the password Of the evening.
He was on his way to her residence
when he was brought here"
During this time Hardy remained
standing, with his opera hat beneath
his elbow and his ulster thrown over
his arm. His eyes were fixed on the
little ball in Hulin's handkerchief,
which, shining in the gas light, held
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1910-07-01
CHAPTER xxx.
For the Good of the Order.

The American, in immaculate even
ing dress, his crush hat beneath his
elbow and his fur-lined coat thrown
over his arm, stood at bay with his
back against the wall, silently cycling
the nihilists. The blood rushed back
to his heart, and his cheek paled a
trifie, but the glance that he fixed on
those wondering faces, in which hate
and fear were beginning to dawn,
showed no fiinching. The cabman, in
tall boots of patent leather, and shin
ing silk hat, stood at the door, with
his broad back against it, his whip in
his hand. He was a thick-set, broad
shouldered muzhik, with little, red
eyes, a red face and profuse red
benrd. His glance shifted uneasily
from Hulin to Hardy.
BY his side stood the little French
man, who sank his head between his
shoulders like turtle, and, stretching
an accusing left arm toward Hardy,
shrieked:
81 am Felix Hulin, say, mon dieu!
the great inventor, the great benefac-
tor of the human race. Behold, here
is the proof! If dash this little
sphere on the floor, poof! b-r-r-r!
The whole house will fall apart like
castle OF cards, the roof will leap
into the air, in one little second, by
gar, we shall alt be in eternity. Gen
tlemen, are you convinced? Sooner
than have my word doubted, l shall
give you the proofs. Ten thousand
devils! l am Felix Hulin, say, no
man shall doubt mel"
He plunged his right hand into his
pocket and drew forth sphere, about
the size of baseball, which he held
in the hollow of his palm.
81 am DR.. Hulin," he added; behold
the pill which l have prepared for
tyrants and spies!"
About 20 of the brethren had stolen
ward toward Hardy; stolen, indeed,
for these men all moved silently, as
though accustomed to secret and dan
gerous meetings. But at the dreaded
word spy" a murmur arose.
"a spy! A spy Kill him, tear him
to piecesl"
But the man who had welcomed
Hardy in French stepped in front Of
them and raised his hand.
Ssh! Brethren" he commanded.
ARE you all mad? Would you have
the police down on us? The spy is in
our power, IL, indeed, he is a spy, and
we shall know how to deal with him,
how to seal his lips. AS for you,
Brother Felix. do not drop your pill,
in the Virgins namei Put II in your
pocket. Preserve it for tyrants and
the foes OF mankind. Therel We
shall breathe freer now. Ivan"-to
the cabman-"whst is the history Of
this mani How did you happen to
bring him here?"

CHAPTER xxx.
In the NihiIlsts' Den.

$50 here we are at last!" he said (;
~vait for me-" The house as he
glanced up at it did not impress him
as a palace, but he reflected that
some of the older and more exclusive
of the Muscovite nobility lived in
antiuuated and unpretentious resi-
dences. The isvoschik ran up the
steps by his side and rang the bell.
An old woman opened the door.
"Ah," she said to the cabman, so
YOU have brought him!"
pa! da!" replied the Jehu, and
trudged down the steps.
It was evident to Hardy that he was
expected at the house of the princess,
that even the servants had been told
TO keep on the lookout for him. Hardy
had been shown into small reception
room. where a coal fire was burning
in the CRATE. A couple of easy chairs
and a leather-covered lounge, some
what worn, formed the only furniture,
rather meager, 1t seemed TO him, for
the palace OF a princess. He removed
his coat and sat down before the fire
As the old woman had been expecting
him. il was safe to assume that she
had gone to inform Romanovna of his
arrival. He arose, and with fingers
that trembled slightly, arranged his
white tie in a mirror over the mantle,
Az he was thus engaged. he could
hear two men talking. probably in the

CHAPTER XXVIII.-Continued.

Hardy, meanwhile slipping into a
long ulster, the fur collar of which he
turned up about his ears, left the
hotel and stepped to the edge OF the
sidewalk. A droshky dashed up i'm
mediately
"The Princess Romanovna," said he
IN Russian. 1.-THE Princess Roman
nvna, in the street"
The isvoschik jumped down with
alacrity extraordinary for Russian.
"The Princess Romanovna?' he in
CURED, looking shrewdly at Hardy.
EYES," said Hardy, "in the street."
Get in,' said the Russian, "and l
will drive you there Immediately l
know where it is
There was something strange in the
mans manner, so strange, In fact,
that It set the American wondering.
He acted as though he had been sent
for his fare, or had been expecting
him. But Hardy did not long dwell on
this idea. for he was, after ALL on his
way to the princess. He would soon
be in her presence again, and the
thought so agitated him, so set his
heart to beating. that all other mat
tiers were driven from his, mind.
AS these thoughts were running
through Hardy's mind, 1t occurred to
him from time to time that 1t took a
long time to reach the palace of the
princess. He knew about where 1t
was located, though he had not visited
the spot. 1t should have taken him
Is minutes to drive there from the
hotel. He consulted his watch and
found that he had been half an hour
on the road.
"Cabmen," he muttered, "are the
same the world over The fellow is
driving me about for a while in order
TO increase the size of the bill"
He was on the point of opening the
door and shouting to the isvoschik,
when the latter drew up before a
large, square house on a quiet, poorly
lighted street. Hardy threw open the
door and jumped out.

| his gaze with strange fascination,
like the baleful eye of snake.
What is his nationality" asked
one of the brethren.
'He says that he IS an American"
replied Bielinski.
1.-THE Americans" said the question
er, ARE a powerful nation. If we
should detain this man, who Is him
self evidently an aristocrat, and has
friends, they would raise heaven and
earth to find him, and there would be
much publicity and discussions
thing that we wish to avoid now. The
same thing would result if he should
permanently disappear"
Here he sat down, and silence
reigned for full minute.
There is much truth" at length
said Bielinski, "1n what Brother Smir-
noff says. Has any other brother any
suggestion to maker"
A young Russian arose, a fiorid-
faced, clean-shaven youth, with blue
eyes and a sweet expression. His
voice was soft and he smiled as he
talked.
"He must not disappear" said the
speaker, "as Brother Smirnoff says,
neither can we keep him. He would
be an elephant on our hands. Neither
would it be safe to turn him loose
with our secret in his brain and on
his tongue. 1t seems to me, with all
due reverence to my elders sand
here he smiled and waved his hand
that there is but one way. He must
die and his body must be found under
such circumstances that the police
will be led to believe he has met his
fate through accident. This will come
under the head, not of an execution,
but of a necessary removal for the
good Of the order"
What method would you propose,
Brother Kourbsk?" inquired Bielin-
ski.
There are several methods that
naturally suggest themselves" replied
Kourbsk, expansively. Hardy's eros
left the mesmeric spot and sought the
speakers face.
