plaque Rat Convicted.

The editor of the Manila Daily Bnf-
tetin died on September % after a
four days illness the onset of which
was sudden and violent. The case
proved to be one of bubonic plague.
His office was promptly cleaned out and
~disinfected. In the course of this
work a mummifed rat was found in
a drawer of his desk. In the same
brewer a number of living rat leas
were found lowering about the car
cass. In these feas and in the mum
mifed body of the rat ~virulent plague
organisms we're found. The connec-
ton between the death of the editor.
the mummifed rat, and the fleas
seems unmistakable. Although the rat
had been dead at least two weeks, it
was still N a highly virulent state, as
were also the feas. The case is of
interest as showing with unusual
clearness and directness the source of
a human plague infection, and also
as furnishing the strongest kind Of
testimony in support of the close con-
nection between rat plague and hui
man plague.

Whdf are you GOING 70 do with me g

you will do nothing until you are con-
WINGED that it is fraudulent"
IT 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 a large, square.
vault-like chamber, at one end of
which a black curtain had been drawn
in front Of a sort of dais, a platform
containing a dark cabinet and a 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.
What he said Paul could not, of
course, understand, but he saw how
thoroughly the man dominated the
mind of the monarch and impressed
himself upon the courtiers.
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 1t 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denly withdrawn, and, as the Tsar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 q man
| glided from the cabinet and stood be-

which makes them the more insistent
in defense of the impostor. He turned
to Clothilde.
"Clothilde, as you love me, tell me,
do you believe that the spirit Of the
Tsar really appears to Nicholas?"
"As l love you, / am sure Of 1t,
Paul." she answered. 20 Paul, 1
know that you are here to fight
against the league, to show up
A%pollodorus, the impostor, as you con
slider him. Paul, indeed 1t is no i'm
posture, and in very truth Alexander
III. makes himself manifest to his
SON"
For the first time Paul was stag
gered by this calm faith in the monk;
he began to feel himself upon the
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
postor. 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 seance room in the
guise of the late Tsar. He could do
no more than that; If 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

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.
Forgive me-" he was saying, ''for
my remarks to you that day in Paris.
l was mad with a sense of shame and
betrayal. l have always loved you,
Clothilde. / shall love you for ever
more. Do you love me7",
For they eve seem banal to low
ers, those ~hackneyed words. Nor did
her reply seem as insipid as the
printed record of it would be; for
both were in heaven.
Paul saw tears in Clothilde's eye
81 lC Ie you, Paul." she said, and
humility had replaced the lmperious
pride in her voice. when you

always loved you, Paul, from that
strange moment of our first meeting
in America. But ~lately-well, Paul, do
you know why am here?"
ITO aid Ap%ollodorus," he answered,
with the least tinge Of bitterness in
his voice.

I am sick of the league. 1 tried to
bury myself here, to escape them.

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 e%picurean. Evidently these
monks were not averse to the good
things of life; indeed, from the
chances which they turned upon Clo-
thide it was evident that they were
by no means fanatical in their asceti-
cism. The admission of a woman,
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 a furtive
glance toward a small, thin man in a
brown monks robe made, instead of
from cloth, out Of h%orsehair, and fast
ened with a plain hempen girdle, and
that this man, who occupied a carved
chair at the head of the long table,
seemed to possess a wholesome au-
thority over the brethren.
THAT is Apollodorus," whispered
Clothilde to Paul; and Paul, looking
at the stern, ascetic face of the man,
was conscious of a fund of power In
him which would make his own duty
the more difficult. He grasped the lit
tie dark lantern tightly under his coat.
Undoubtly Apollodorus was no com
mon impostor and would fight for
his control over the wavering mind
Of Nicholas. And Paul was not among
friends. He knew the s~elf-deludsd
vanity of those who are tricked.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-01-17

But they have found me and followed
me. They know that without my In
fiuence the league will lose the last
vestiges of its influence. And they
have even threatened me, Paul"
"Who?" he cried angrily.
"Von Holzrath. He is now one of
the leaders of the organization. He
has offered me the choice between
continuing as their agent and the
leagues enmity. l must decide. l
fear him so; 1 hate the league SO
much, and l long for peace. l think
it is my love for you, Paul, that has
sickened me Of these intrigues."
Then CONF with me-" cried Paul.
Come back to America. No one will
dare modest you there. Come and"
She placed her hand upon his arm.
Some day" she answered. But not
now. There are things to be done
you understand? l cannot disappear
so swiftly. l feel, somehow, that I
must remain until the league is
crushed, or till it brushes me. 1t will
be only a little while, Paul. Promise
me that, now we are sure OF each 9TH
er's love, you will not seek mi out
until l call you"
II promise" he answered sadly.
But, Clothilde, why are you here?
Did not the league send you to aid in
the fraud upon the Tsar?"
She nodded. "But l found that it
is no fraud, Paul." she said.
what? You don't NEAR that it Is
true?"
She nodded. looking earnestly into
his eyes.
1T is in very truth the spirit of the
late Tsar." she answered. II was
most sceptical; but when l went with
the count | saw and heard and touched
him. None could mistake Alexander.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-01-17

Why. Paul, do you not know that
Alexander was the strongest man in
Europe? He could bend o horseshoe
double with one Of his hands. And J
have seen him-his spirit-do that,
to convince Nicholas"
1T was Apollodorus."
Never, Paul. He is a weakling
and has hands like a Paul,
IL you are here to expose the monk

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-
ceived and dined in the r~efectory
of the monastery and lodged over
night. The program was carried out
as it had been planned. Paul caught
a 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

station, to pull in at Nishikoff about
