FERROUS explosion of February 5. $780,
One of the prisoners. being put to tor
ture, revealed the names of several OF
his associates
One of these was certain Victor
Chalturin. He was the son Of a peas
ant. a very energetic agitator and an
experienced organizer Of associations
of malcontents. The police visited bis
rooms and made a thorough search OF
the premises. A number Of books and
PAMPHLETS found on the shelves and
in closets indicated that he was a
man with Nihilistic tendencies. That,
In itself. while interesting, was not
very important. The searchers con-
tinued at work and finally came TO q
cabinet with locked doors. II was
broken open and in secret drawer
they found a blue print Of the plans OF
the winter palace. II was worn and

the lines indicating the great dining
hall were marked with a cross These
facts we're promptly communicated 10
Trepofr, and he sent out description
of Chalturin to every police official IN
the Russian empire.
While awaiting reports from his sub
ordinates the energetic chief OF police
made another discovery. It was Q
slip Of paper which was found In the
basement Of the imperial palace. On
| it was written these words:

cidentalIy had delayed the execution
of the plot for ns7nv months.
It became generally known during
the investigation in this case that the
winter palace for years had been the
refuge for vagabond Horkmen. friends
of the servants. and others. Many Of
these were Without passport aud

with impunity. 1t seems that there Is
an old law which gives the right OF
sanctuary. so far as the police are
concerned. to criminals taking refuge
in the imperial palace. Naturally. the
greatest disorder prevailed there. Dis
cipline was at a low ebb, and the in
PRODUCTION was. after all. not such a
dificult matter.
In spite of this laxity the authori-
ties were puzzled to know how the
dynamite came to be smuggled into
the basement of the palace under the
very nose Of the police. One OF the
numerous prisoners who were arrest
ed for the crime laughed airily when
questioned about this phase Of the
conspiracy.

DO not delay any lDngsr. Now Is
the time to act"
Some bits Of paper corresponding
with the material on which this was
inscribed. were found In Chalturin's
room. The case against him appeared
to be complete. II was In March,
lsS2.--over two years after the explo-
sion occurred-that the chief culprit
was taken into custody. He was given
a speedy trial and on the 22d of March
OF that year was executed. and 1t was
then. and then only, that he was rec
ognized as the man who had intro
duced himself as a carpenter in the
winter palace.
The testimony which was brought
out at the trial of Chalturin gave the
authorities some idea Of the marvel
Gus ingenuity and wonderful perse-
verance Of the Nihilists. Just prior
to the explosion In the winter palace
they had organized their forces under
the title of The VIII of the People"
and at once began to issue prociama-
tons and pamphlets in order to swell
their numbers and strengthen their
cause. In January. 1880, their. secret
printing presses were discovered and
seized by the police, and numerous ar
rests were made. In spite Of this. they
managed to issue. on the 26th of jan
uary. a program In which they de-
clared that unless the government
granted constitutional rights the car
must die. The result of this was fresh
arrests. banishments to Siberia for
some and death on the scaffold for
others
It was at this stage of the game that
| the Nihilists planned their most dar-
ing program. 1t was to blow up the
emperor In his own palace. Its execu-
ton, as has already been stated, was
undertaken by Chaiturin. who was
young and fervent and filed with an
! exaggerated sense of his own wrongs
and the wrongs OF the people. He
was a clever cabinet maker and this
enabled him, under the assumed name
Of Batyschkoff, to obtain a situation
as a carpenter in the imperial palace.
He ascertained that the emperor's din
ing room was above the cellar In which
the carpenters were at work. although
between 1t and the cellar there was a
guard room used by the sentinels Of
the palace. Chalturin lived in the
palace for nearly four months. and
every night he used package of dyna,
mite for his pillow. A gendarme had
been installed In the carpenters cellar
shortly after he began to work there
and this made the introduction Of the
dvnamite exceedingly difficult. and In

But what sort Of men were they?"
Just everyday. ordinary kind Of
men. The sort that would not be no
ticed in a crowd. For instance. the
fact that baker handed couple of
rolls to Chalturin would excite no
comment, and yet these innocent bits
of bread might have contained one
tenth Of all the dynamite smuggled In
to the palace. Some of It was hidden
In carpenters tools, some in the lin
ing of workingmen's caps. But why
go further? The men who plan great
things must possess great ingenuity
as wei as great courage"
But to get back to the narrative.
Chalturin said that while he was in
the basement of the palace he suffered
frightfully from headaches which
were caused by the poisonous exhala-
lions of the nitroglycerine on which
he rested every night. When the first
of February arrived. fifty kilogrammes
of dynamite had been introduced, and
the counterfeit carpenter was now In

preston.

looking with unseeing eyes at the
snowy Christmas world.
Just then young man, fairly tear
ing around the corner, arrested her at
tention. 1t was no less person than
Billy himself who was coming, post
haste, to see her.
Marjorie looked at him in Won

Why this sudden contrition, when, she
admitted it now for the first time,
