that we had discovered the location
Of their captives; this explained their
desperate efforts to regain the light
house. They had abandoned the at
tempt, knowing of the death of two of
our men, and had resolved to make
by boat for the open sea.
But they had known nothing of our
yacht. The men whom we had left
there, seeing the soldiers advancing
in their boat through the fog, had be-
leved them to be us; they themselves
were not seen by the soldiers, who, In
rowing, naturally had their backs to-
ward the open sea. Thus the two par
ties ran into each others arms. Cut
off from the open sea, the soldiers had
nowhere to escape; on the other hand,
the men In the yacht, anxious to learn
our fate, opened parley with them,
being all Russians and from the same
territory. In the end it was recog-
nized that a truce must be effected
until the fortune of war should de-
eide for one side or the other This
was satisfactory to the soldiers, but
more SO to US, who knew of the ap-
proach of the Potemkin.
Fools that we were," said Nikolai
to me. Had we known what we
know now we should have let the
Potemkin land her new captives here,
concealing our yacht in the otiing, and,
when she had departed. we should
have taken them with us and sailed
away. Now all is lost. The vessel
will pound to pieces on the rocks and
our captives will die with the crew.
Or II they land. We shall encounter

the attack of hundred desperate
men. At all costs the Potemkin must
be saved"
I'VE can save her yet" I answered.
"One lens is still unbroken. 1t was
struck from the frame but not shat
tered. With this we can bring the
vessel in safely"
"How?' asked Nikolai.
took him up into the light cham
ber AS l had said, one Of the three
great lenses had remained uninjured.
Then | explained my plan. AS Nikolai
took it in he became greatly excited.
He clapped me upon the shoulder and
strobe up and down the room, vowing
that the bride should yet be restored
to her husband from whose arms she
had been snatched short week after
the wedding, twelve years before.
This was the scheme. The single
lens, set into the central frame, would
convey the light straight out to sea
and afford signal for the cruiser.
The Potemkin would anchor In the
offing, place the prisoners in boat
under a guard, and row them ashore.
We should admit them, capture and
disarm the guard, and hold them In
the vaults. The next party that came
would meet a similar fate; and so
all who arrived, for even if they sus-
pected any danger, we could defend
the lighthouse against a regiment,
while the thick fog would render a
bombardment impossible. What would
probably occur however, would be
that the ships officers, after the sec
ond party failed to return, would be-
lieve that both boats had been
swamped in the breakers, and would
take the ship back to Russia with
out further investigation.
We raised the great lens into the
central frame. We refilled the oil
lamp; and once more, though on
either of two sides was darkness,

searchlight shone straight out to sea.
1t was little after midday when,
through the thick mists that enfolded
US, we heard the booming of guns.
One, two, three-and silence. Thep
the signal was repeated.
1t was the Potemkin.
We put our three friendly enemies
down in the vaults, first exchanging
clothes with them. They went readily
enough, when we had explained to
them that their Imprisonment was
only temporary, until after the ves-
sells departure. Then three of us,
dressed in the Russian uniform, with
the two other men in the rear of US,
waited for the arrival of the boat
1t seemed an endless interval-it
was really about an hour before the
ships boat grated against the rocks.
She carried the six prisoners, chained,
with six armed guards Nikolai well
coined the sailors in their native
tongue. They advanced, entirely unsus-
pecting. Then, in a trice, we had
sprung on them and disarmed them.
So sudden was our attack that they
attempted no resistance; they stood
staring at us, foolshly grinning. The
prisoners were no whit less astonished.

face.
I'm the name of God, who are you,

saw Nikolai start back and clap
his hand to his forehead
How long have you been confined
here, Adam Gortchakoff?" he asked
with quavering voice.
Twelve years." the old man an
swered. "And my daughter Also"
God help you," muttered Nikolai.
Tears welled into his eyes. Russia
has not forgotten you" he said rails
ing the old mans hand to his lips.
Nor you, madame. But we thought
you had died in Archangel."
There were twelve prisoners here
when | arrived said the woman in
French. MY father and have alone
survived" She turned upon Nikolai
fiercely. Does Nicholas Stambuloff
still work for Russia?" she asked.
"He is still our hope and Russia's
hope" said Nikolai. Then, hastily,
he began telling them of the desperate
chance that had let us hither. Can
you endure your chains for a few
hours longer?" he asked
I'VE have endured them twelve
years." answered the woman; and she
bent over her father and pressed a
damp sponge to his lips. The sight
was iuexpressibly painful to me; for
the first time began to understand

something Of the hatred which in
spired Nikolai against the tyranny Of
the tsar.
But he could linger no longer. Bid
ding them hasty farewell, and assur-
ing them of their approaching liberty,
Nikolai retreated up the stairs. Out
side dawn was breaking. Our man
was still on guard; the attack had
not been renewed.
II dared not tell her that her lover
Is aboard the Potemkin," said Nikolai
to me- Nicholas Stambuloff was cap
tured and sentenced to Archangel; he
is one of the six revolutionary leaders
otherwise known as Satcha Alexan-
drovitch. We must and will restore
him and his bride to liberty. And
think-for twelve years they have not
met"
"On guard" cried our companion.
We heard steps on the rocks; we
drew our revolvers and waited. But,
what was our astonishment when,
through the mists, we saw our two
companions of the yacht and the three
Russian soldiers conversing amicably
together as they approached us. A
short interrogation convinced Nikolai
that the truce was a genuine one.
We hurried down and by the aid of
a file which the soldiers gave US. had
soon freed the prisoners from their
bonds Then, seated together over a
meal, explanations were offered and
received.
1t appeared that the lighthouse was
used as secret penal station to which
prisoners were sent who had been
sentenced to the mines Of Archangel.
The secret had been we'll kept, and
this explained why none Of those sent
to the frozen north had ever been
heard from. They were not there;
the cruisers put them invariably up
on this desolate rock, where they re-
NAMED in chains until death claimed
them. The soldiers naturally thought

would see freedom II never Russia
again.
We placed our new captives with
the soldiers below and waited for
the second boat. But no boat came.
With the callousness of the Russian
officer, the commander cared moth
ing for the fate of the crew. If they
had perished on that dangerous coast,
at least their captives, chained as they
we're, had died with them. That was
all he cared about. At four o'clock
we heard four guns fired in swift sue
cession. 1t was the sign of depar-
ture.
Excusing himself, Nikolai rushed up
the stairs. l would have followed
him, but he signed to me to wait be-
low. When he returned I could gath
er no information as to the reason OF
his departure.
We brought our captives, now nine
in number, up from the vaults. The
situation had already been explained
to the sailors by the three soldiers.
We offered them safe passage to Eng
land, our destination, whence they
could readily ship aboard some boat
for the Baltic AS there was no alter
native, our terms were eagerly ac-
cepted, and once more our enemies
we're converted into friends. / con-
graduated ourselves upon the termina'
ton of our Observation-Disclosures, save
for the death of our two men the
night preceding.
But when at last Nicholas Stambul-
off understood the situation he turned
upon Nikolai like a madman.
At first his anger was incomprehen-
sible to all of us. Nikolai, soothing
him as a child. told him that presently
he should meet some one whom he
would be gald to see.
"There is nobdy whom | would be
glad to see," raved Nicholas. do you
know what you have done, you hound!
Listen, aud will tell you.

ENGLAND'S MANY RICH MEN

statistics last year, reached the i'm.
uense total of $500, 100000, which rep
resents capital Of nearly $13,OO0,O0O.
these incomes are derived from for

ranches of banks and mercantile COM

nd commission agents. When 1t is
! called how great is the capital In
vested by Englishmen abroad In these
aried Enterprises the immense aggre.
ate income, outside that included in
he income tax statistics, can be imaA
Gined.
According to the same statistics,
here are 214 persons in the United
l .ingdom with an income OF $275,0
y hich means that there are that many

{ 100000 each. But these are not the
richest Englishmen. There are 66 with

rom $275,0O0 to $325,OOO. Further
more, there are 4,143 persons with in
comes of $50,O0O and over, which
means the possession of capital of
