declared that she had been victimized
by Treshn, who had promised her on
the day after he had planted the In.
fernal machine they would quit St.
Petersburg and go to Austria. Dane
witch then informed her that II she
allowed herself to be used as an In
strument Of justice to assist In tho
capture Of her false lover, she would
be set free on sufierance and per.
mitted to 90 to Ceylon. II she sue
ceeded In her task she would receive
full pardon and be supplied with
considerable sum Of money to en-.
able her to live abroad. In setting
her free, however, the government In.
tended to retain hold upon her. To
that end her youngest and favorite
brother. who was an invalid, and to
whom she was devoted. was arrested
on suspicion Of being mixed up in rev.
olutionary matters. II Anna did not
return within q fixed time. the brother
would be sent to the Siberian quick
silver mines. While she was away hs
would be we'll treated, and on her 10
turn set at liberty.
In two days she gave her decision.
She would 60 to Ceylon and do as she
was requested. To prepare the way
she wrote letter to dictation. In II
she stated that she had been tried
and found not guilty. But on her re-
lease she had been visited by wom-
An named Lydia Zasarin, who abused
her fearfully for having corresponded
with Treskin, whom she claimed a.
her lover. In her anger Lydia had
betrayed Treskin's whereabouts, vow.
Ing she hated him, as she now knew
that all he wanted was her money.
But Anna asserted that she still loved
Treskin to distraction, and could not
live without him. She intended.
therefore. to go to Ceylon, and she
had managed to secure some money.
which she would take to him.
This epistle was duly dispatched
to Treskin, and fortnight later Anna
set forth on her mission of vengeance.
She arrived safely at Point de Gale.
and was received by Treskin. As
matter Of fact, the gentleman in ques.
tion would have preferred to greet
Lydia Zagarin, but Anna was not q
bad substitute, and he inquired eager.
" how much money she had brought
with her. She told him that she had
not great deal, but that a remittance
would arrive in few weeks. In the
meantime there vas enough 70 keep
them going. She thus won his con.
fidence, and Treskin began to con.
gratulate himself on his good fortune.
Nearly two months passed. when Anna
complained that Point de Gale did
not agree with her. She wanted q
change; she had been told that Co
lombo was a pretty place, and she
would like to see 1t. AS she had Just
received a remittance Of a30 they
could we'll afford the trip. To this
Treskin consented, and they travelled
to Colombo by gharry. 1t was the
first step toward his doom. With the
remittance came another letter to
Anna, giving her secret instructions.
Colombo was duly reached. The
third night after their arrival Anna
expressed a desire to go out on the
water In native boat. The boatmen
pulled away from the land. while
Treskin lay back In the stern and
smoked. Anna sat beside him, and
sang softly snatches of plaintive
Russian airs. When about four miles
from shore they sighted a small
steamer sailing slowly along. She
came close to the boat, and voice
hailed her, asking II any one on the
boat spoke English. Treskin replied
in the affirmative. The voice then in.
quired II the occupants Of the boat
would kindly take some letters on
shore. as the captain did not wish to
60 into the port. Treskin consented.
anu the boat was pulled alongside the
steamer, which turned out to be
pleasure yacht. Treskin was politely
requested to step aboard, ladder
being lowered for that purpose. He
turned to Anna and asked II she would
90 too. The girl was willing, and she
preceded him up the ladder. As soon
as he was on deck the gangway was
closed, and man in uniform invited
him into the little saloon. where some
wine and biscuits stood on the table.
The engines Of the yacht were started
and In few seconds a stern de.
termined looking man entered the
cabin. He wore the uniform Of q
lieutenant Of the Russian navy, and
he gazed grimly at the guest.
Peter Treskin." he said in Rus.
sian. you have been cleverly lured
on board this boat, which Is owned
BY Russian gentleman, and flies the
Russian flag. You are going back to
Russia to answer to justice for your
dastardly crime"
Treskin turned CHASTITY pale. He
sprang to the door, but found his exit
barred by armed men. In another In.
slant he was seized and heavily
ironed. steaming at full speed, the
yacht rounded Point de Gale, and
