Jacks sympathy with the Russian
revolution had been fostered by certain
Russian refugees she had met who had
depicted the condition of the Russian
lower classes and the efforts of the
revolutionists in their behalf One OF
these men. Michael Zarowitz. who was
preparing to return to Russia, she took
into her confidence. and the two went
away together. Before Droubeioff left
Washington Jack had introduced the
two men. who had several conferences.
Jacks object in going TO Russia was
to free her lover. They formed def
mite plans, leaving only to chance those
matters which no one can foresee. She
believed that no prison is strong
enough to hold person whose friends
are determined to get him out. She
was to plan Droubelon's escape, and
Zarowitz was to execute it. There
were to be no more persons taken into
the secret If 1t were possible for the
two to work it alone.
Fortunately Miss Worthington pos
sessed a good constitution as well as
a strong will. for the Journey from ST.

tons for facilities to be given her In
visiting the prisons. This done. she
entered at once on an examination of
them, writing a report which she took
care to make very favorable to the
management and submitted it to the
governor for his inspection. Her real
object was to discover in what prison
and what part of the prison Droubelof
was. confined and to learn as much
about It, 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 Droubelof.
So changed was he that Miss Worth
ington did not know him. And it was
perhaps fortunate that she did not, for
her recognition of him might have
proved dangerous. But he recognized

Jack recalled her parting with Dr0u-

reception at the White House, and he
was In evening dress, with the insignia

meeting not only stimulated her de-

natural to her.
The next day she found a way Of
meeting Zarowitz. He had represent

purpose Of getting employment about
he prisons. Miss Worthington told
lin of the prison in which Droubelon
was confined. and it was agreed that
le should concentrate his efforts upon
