have seen him-his spirit-do that,
to convince Nicholas"
"It was Apollodorus."
Never. Paul He Is q weakilng
and has hands like woman. Paul,
if you are here to expose the monk
you will be convinced in spite Of your
self"
You are deceived by clever i'm
postor," Paul answered. 1T cannot
be, Clothilde."
She did not try further to persuade
him, and a moment later the countess
awoke and looked around for her knit
ting
The party was to start from the
station at ten o'clock on the We'd
nesday morning, in a special train,
scheduled to reach Nishikoff late in
the afternoon, when they would be re-
ceiyed and dined in the refectory
OF the monastery and lodged over
night. The program was carried out
as it had been planned. Paul caught
glimpse of the thin, nervous figure
of the Tsar as he hurried into his
private coach; then, with his host and
Clothilde-for the countess stayed
comfortably at home-he entered a
compartment already three parts filled
with gentlemen of the Tsar's body
guard, and the train rolled out of the
station, to pull in at Nishikoff about
five in the evening There carriages
awaited the party and drove in long
procession to the monastery.
Their sleeping accommodation was in
cells, for the Tsar's visits were re-
garded both by himself and by the
head monk as disciplinary journeys;
but the meal, spread on long tables
in the refectory, was satisfying and al
most epicurean Evidently these
monks were not averse to the good

chances which they turned upon Clo-

though contrary to the strict monastic
rule, was condoned in the case of
one of his majesty's suite, but it
proved sufficiently disconcerting for
many Of the inmates. Paul noticed,
however, that each scrutiny of his
companion was preceded by furtive
glance toward a small, thin man in a
brown monks robe made. instead of
from cloth, out Of horsehair, and fast
ened with a plain hempen girdle, and
that this man, who occupied carved
chair at the head of the long table,
seemed to possess wholesome au-
thority over the brethren.
THAT Is Apollodorus, whispered
C1ethilde to Paul; and Paul, looking
at the stern, ascetic face of the man,
was conscious of fund Of power in
him which would make his own duty
the more difficult He grasped the lit

which makes them the more insistent
in defense of the impostor. He turned
to Clothilde.

Tsar really appears to Nicholas?

For the first time Paul was stag

neighbor, Count Gabel, swayed rhyth-
mically in his chair and muttered
excitedly as the high-pitched, musical
voice rang out; on his other side he
saw Clothilde staring at Apollodorus
with the look of an initiate in her
eyes. He recognized, too, that he
himself was beginning to be aware of
the mans influence; his purpose weak
ened; he clutched the dark lantern
tighter and summoned all his resolu-
ton to spur him to his task. Then
the monk stepped back behind the
curtain, which fell before him, and
the lights went out leaving only the
glimmer Of candles in two corners of
the room The outlines of those pres
ent became faint and ghostly. The
silence was complete.
From behind the curtain came a
low muttering sound, gradually in
creasing in intensity, with broken
words in deeper tones interjected as
by an alien voice. Then a draught
blew back the curtain till it bellied in
to the face of the Tsar Nicholas
drew back with a stified shrek; a
moment later the curtain was as sud
denly withdrawn, and, as the Tsar
subsidized. a huge figure of a man
glided from the cabinet and stood be-
fore the company, his arms raised as
in benediction.
do you believe? Do you believer"
whispered Count Gabel excitely in
Paul's ear. And Paul, looking, owned
that he had never seen a clearer re-
presentation of the late Tsar than
this spectral figure with the gaunt
cheeks, gray beard, and mighty arms
stretched out over the company. The
Tsar had fallen upon his knees, the
courtiers followed suit, and somebody
among the audience was singing a
Russian hymn. 1t died away; the
| figure still stood motionless before

brink Of the unknown. The matter
was assuming a more serious aspect
than ever before.
He ran over his instructions in his
mind, His duty was to convince
Nicholas that Apollodorus was an i'm
poster. That would turn the weak
minded ruler from his allies and des-
troy the league for ever. He must,
then, catch the man when he was ca
pering round the seaEce room in the
guise of the late Tsar He could do
no more than that; II that failed to
suffice, he would fail in his mission.
Clothilde seemed to realize the pur-
pose Of his journey
PAUL" she whispered, you will be
sadly deceived if you intend to break
up the seance meeting. Promise me
you will do nothing until you are con
vinced that it is fraudulent"
81 promise you that, Clothilde," Paul
answered, and at that moment the
dinner came to an abrupt end by the
rising of the Tsar The brethren
stood up from their benches and
marched out in order, leaving the
Tsar and his retinue alone with the
head monk and Apollodorus.
Then, since the affair was a matter
Of routine, by reason of frequent re-
petition, no words were spoken, but
the whole party filed out in the monks
wake and entered large, square,
vault-like chamber, at one end of
which black curtain had been drawn
in front of sort of dais, platform
containing a dark cabinet and chair.
In front of this were chairs in rows
several deep, into which the Tsar and
his courtiers sank, while the head
monk bowed his head and intoned a
prayer. Then, bowling solemnly, he
withdrew, leaving Apollodorus to per-
form his feats.
The monk addressed the Tsar

course, understand, but he saw how

mind of the monarch and impressed
himself upon the courtiers. Paul's

an extraordinary fancy to this young
American. She did not know very
much about Clothilde, who had always
moved in circle loftier than her
own; but the good souls mind was
filled with matchmaking. If Clothilde
could learn to care for him as
much as he evidently cared for her!
1t seemed to be case of love at
sight! Perhaps-well, stranger things
had happened. She saw in her mind
the acceptance of Paul as Clothilde's
lover, the marriage ceremony, the
bridesmaids, in white, with fragrant
blossoms in their hands and
all this faded into the midst of
dreams. The countess slept beside
the fire, opposite her sleeping hus-
band.
And Paul was stammering out his
love and clasping Clothilde's little
hands in his
