CHAPTER XII.
Imperial Favor.

The Princess Romanovna was re-
ceived by his imperial majesty in .
small room Of the Winter palace, .
room which. equipped with graceful
and dainty furniture Of the sixteenth
century, was cheerful symphony in
delicate shade of blue. The fact
that she was a favorite at court, to-
gether with her high connections and
her noble descent. through which she
even claimed distant relationship with
the imperial family itself, rendered IL
comparatively easy for her to obtain
a private and informal interview
His majesty was standing when Ro-
manovna entered. looking out of tho
window on the semi-circle where
stands the huge monolith in honor OF
Alexander 1. He turned, as her name
was announced and smiled. She no
ticed that he was pale and careworn,
and that his expression. even as he
smiled, was very sad. Her heart
went out to him in mingled affection
and reverence. She bowed low with
exquisite grace as his eyes fell on her.

None at all! But this is incredible.
We shall find means of making you

to us, and be careful that you conceal
nothing"
He not only uttered no such
threats" said Wang, but he even
spared the worthless life OF the prince,
when he might have shot him dead.
This he did out of regard for the prin-

CHAPTER xxxvill.
Murder and Mystery.

Hardy was able to leave the hospital
ON February the first and return to his
quarters at the hotel, where he was
much more comfortable, for the hos
pitfalls Of Moscow are inferior to those
of other European cities Of equal size.
He was pale and weak. but his appe-
lite was good and he was gaining
strength rapidly. Though he had come
OF second-best in the duel. to all ap-
pearances, yet his countenance had
taken on a look not In any way char
ecteristic of the man who has been
beaten or cowed by punishment There
was something new In his eyes, and
there was an expression about his
mouth that suggested rather the man
who has fought mental fight and
won. In his conversations with Wang
he avoided all mention either of the
princess or of her cousin. His only
desire was to close up the business in
Moscow and get back to Stryetensk
as soon as possible-get back to the
warehouses and the great water high
way that led eastward to the Pacific
ocean. to that frontier Of the vast
Russian empire that lies close to Ko-
rea and scowls across the Japan sea
Mt Nippon and its hive of angry, buzz
zing bees. In the preparations for de-
parture the Korean boy displayed
competency and assiduity that were
revelation even to Hardy He super
intended the shipment to Stryetensk
Of large orders of goods, he made val
liable suggestions. he worked till all
hours of the night. relieving his prin-
cipal Of the labor of correspondence
and bookkeeping. In addition, he was

panion, whose brain was fertile in del.
icate little attentions that made
Hardy's enforced detention in the ho-
tel less irksome.
Meantime, letters from Emery and
other advices were insistent to the
effect that war was inevitable.
On the morning Of the 7th Wang
came into the Office and laid a paper
down before Hardy. pointing, without
Q word, to a double-leaded article with

way station, facing the desolate, snow
covered plains. In the distance was a
miserable peasant village, with
matched roofs The train luxus, the
police, all the passengers, the mortal
remains of the murdered prince, were
gone. The boy asked a stolidfac
stationmaster what had become of his
employer, and the latter only
shrugged his shoulders and turned
away.
Wang entered the station, sat down
on a bench and thought for long
time. Then he came out on the plat
hour-for two hours, after which he
entered the station and passed anoth-
er hour on the bench. Though he
had not eaten since noon, he did not
feel hungry. Toward midnight man
entered the ticket office, opened the
window and lighted a lamp. Wang
stepped up to the window.
DO you expect a train?" he asked.
Yes. in half an hour"
Going which way?"
"To Moscow"
How much is the fare?"
The agent told him, and the boy
found that he had enough money with
him to pay for a third-class ticket and
leave few roubles over, sufficient to
buy food. He procured a. ticket, and
when the train Numbered up to
the station he boarded 1t and soon

the hot-headed, childish and unwar-
rantable demands of the islanders.
Well" he commented, even this
does not mean war. Russia will sim
ply wait-she has always been wait
ing. and the Japanese must strike the
first blow If they want war"
Wait and see," was Wang's only
reply.
1t was only two days later that
Hardy became aware that something
extraordinary had happened. Toward
evening the city was seized with ex-
element. Some great. some terrible
news was in the air Men were talk
hotel, groups were gathering in the
streets, hoarsely shouting. Wang was
out. SO Hardy rang for bellboy and
asked him what was the matter.
Matter" cried the boy; 1.-The Jap
anese have captured Port Arthur!
They have murdered 100000 Chris
tians. They have sunk the whole

the night. The car will send great
army and kill every cursed Japanese

excited boy left, slamming the door,
they are at 1t in earnest, and the
Japanese have struck hard. This
means war. indeed. II the Russian
navy has been destroyed it means
long war Wang will be Wild
At this moment the Korean entered,
but, to Hardy's surprise. he was not
carried away by excitement. There
was a hectic spot on each yellow
he was self-contained.
well. Wang" said Hardy, you
were right, after all, and the Japanese
have attacked. / have heard some
very wild rumors. Have you learned
anything definite?"
Yes" replied Wang; what seem to
be reliable reports have arrived. The
mikado's fleet last night attacked the
Russian ships at Port Arthur and sank
the Czarevitch and the Retvizan. two
of the heaviest battle-ships in the

The Russians are very indignant,
naturally. but they should save their
feelings. The Japanese have only be-

Within two weeks after the break
ing out Of the war. during which time
many disastrous blows were struck at
the naval prestige of Russia. Hardy
was ready for the long railway jour
ney back to Stryetensk
Wang secured first-class compart-
ment for his master, and second-class
accommodations for himself, and the
two drove to the great terminal sta
ton, which commodious building they
found crowded with officers of every
rank. military officials and Red Cross
nurses Fastening to Vladivostok and
the front
Among these, Hardy noticed the gal
liant, towering form of Boris Romanoff.
attired in officers cap and cloak. The
prince was surrounded by a group of
officers. with whom he was talking.
He noticed Hardy and gave him look
of hate. The American turned his
eyes quickly away and busted himself
with identifying his baggage and get
ting 1t aboard.
On the morning of the third day out
from Moscow the prince was found
murdered in his compartment. He
was lying peacefully sleeping in his
berth. the last long sleep. with slen-
der stilletto sticking in his heart
