business to find a convenient abode.
tor she had no mind to detract from
the chances of accomplishing her OBJ
ject by making haste. She found
stopping place in the family Of u keep
er OF one OF the prisons and. having
settled herself, presented to the gov
ernor her papers embodying instruc-
tons for facilities to be given her In
visiting the prisons. This done, she
entered at once on an examination of
them, writing report which she took
care to make very favorable to the
management and submitted 1t to the
governor for his inspection. Her real
object was to discover in what prison
and what part of the prison Droubeloff
was confined and to learn as much
about 1t, Its entrances and exits and
rules as possible.
One day when Miss Worthington
was making an inspection a squad of
prisoners was being marched to the
mines. In the line was Droubeloff.
SO changed was he that Miss Worth
ington did not know him. And 1t was
perhaps fortunate that she did not, for
her recognition Of him might have
proved dangerous. But he recognized
her. Though filled with a wild Joy, he
managed to show no evidence that he
had ever seen her before. Seeing
pair Of eyes fixed on her, the knowl-
edge that they belonged to her lover
came so slowly that she, too, was ena-
bled to avoid any appearance of rec
ognition.

beion at Washington. 1t was after
reception at the White House, and he
was In evening dress. with the insignia
OF several orders upon his breast.
What change In this unkempt man
In the clothes of workman with a
pick and shovel on his shoulder! The
meeting not only stimulated her de-
sire to free him, but added to that dar-
ing tempered by caution which was
natural to her.
The next day she found a way Of
meeting Zarowitz. He had represent
ed himself as from the country round
about Kara, who had come for the
purpose OF getting employment about
the prisons. Miss Worthington told
him Of the prison in which Droubelofr
was confined, and it was agreed that
he should concentrate his efforts upon
that particular prison. This was all
that could be done at present.
1t was two months before Zarowitz
secured one OF the most unimportant
positions In the prison where Droube-
lon was confined, but once there he
gave evidence of such vigilance that it
was not long before he was promoted
to be keeper.
Miss Worthington's plans were now
nearing head. She had succeeded in
getting very daring man In as keep
er of the prison in which her lover was
confined. Methods of getting Droube-
lof out were plentiful. but would any
OF them be successful? There is one,
or a part of one. that has been often
tried with success. Prisoners have
been enabled to gain time by leaving
a dummy in their cells. and this was
the first matter for preparation. In
order to have a dummy ready Miss
Worthington gave Zarowitz certain
materials for its composition. which he
took with him to his quarters in the
prison.
Meanwhile the prisoner and his
keeper had come into secret commu-
nication, and Zarowitz was watching
for an opportunity to connive at the
formers escape. A failure was not
only to be dreaded for Droubeloff, but
for Zarowitz. and what appalled, both
men was the possibility of Miss
Worthington being implicated. FARO
WITT would suffer untold miseries If
as keeper he assisted prisoner to es-
cape. and should 1t become known
that the Russian police had long been
for him 1t would add to his
tortures. If Miss Worthington were
arrested as an accessory she would
doubtless remain In the Kara prison
for the rest Of her life. For this rea-
son Droubelon asked Zarowitz to beg
her to go away and leave the two to
work out the problem by themselves.
but she resolutely declined.
The escape was attempted in the
evening. The prisoners were marched
after a days work into their cells.
The keeper went to Droubeloff's cell
and spoke few words in a whisper.
Droubeloff took the dummy from un-
der his cot and placed it on the CO..
with the face toward the wall. Faro
