SYNOPSIS,

The hero of this’story, Boris Landrinof,

is ayoung Russian, who wae eent to Eng:

land to be educate- He is hastily sum

} moned home by his mother owing to the

su’den disappearance ot his father, Count Landrivof. Shorily after, in Loudon, he ie astonithed when a triend tells bim he hae just seen bis father. Accompanied by this friend he reiurns to Russia. Boris discovers a clue, and sets out in search of twomen who have as he suppores ab- ducied bis father.

Which words 6f Percy’s preffy ac- curately described what I did do. Then I begged Percy to watch the door of my prisoner’s room and the passage while I

went down to consult with Borofsky |

and to fetch my checkbook and writing materials.

I think I never saw any man quite so overpowered as Borofsky when I de- tailed the whole of the student episode, beginning with the chase and ending with the little rascal’s statement of terms.

‘Five thousand rubles? Nonsense, my good sir! We'll have this secret for nothing!’’ exclaimed Borofsky. ‘‘We have the fellow in the hollow of our hands. Don’t you see he is in terror of his life from Andre? For heaven’s sake, my good man, since Providence has put this trump card in your hand, play it to the best advantage! If you'll excuse my saying so, you don’t deserve your good luck today. That chase was the crudest thing in shadowing I ever heard of and ought to have ended in utter failure, and now you wish to pay 5,000 rubles for a secret (if he really has one) which we can easily extract for noth- ing. It is ridiculous!"’

Poor Borofsky was a little put out, it seemed, that all the Inck had gone my way and not his. It was rather hard upon him. But there was only one course open to me.

“I have promised the feliow his five thousand,’’ I said. “‘He wanted ten thousand, but I beat him down the other five thousand by threatening him with Andre. I daresay we could squeeze the information out of him by frighten- ing him, as yousay, but it’s just as well to have his good will. We shall be more likely to learn the truth. ”’

“Oh, don't flatter yourself,’’ langhed Borofsky scornfully. ‘He will tell you what he chooses—no more and no less, and the more we frighten him the more be would feel inclined to divulge. ’’

‘He shall have the money,’’ I per- sisted, ‘‘because I have promised iti”

*““Very good,”’ said Borofsky, shrug- ging his shoulders, ‘‘if you prefer it

so. It is your money you are throwing into the gutter, not mine. It would not be yonr fault if I were to go

straight to Andre now and tell him we had caught this little rascal and knew all his secrets’’—

“‘Borofsky!"’ I interrupted him ‘You shall do nothing of the kind. When I have performed my engage-

Death lurks in every place in this “ vale of tears.’ There is no happiness, no joy, no gaiety, nec success, no softrow and no failure that may not secrete him. A _ favorite hiding-place for death, where wo- men are ecn- cerned, is in the very

happiness and rapture of wifehood and the sa cred joy of motherhood.

If wives and mothers world only resort to the right remedy when they suffer from weakness and disease of the delicate an important feminine organs that are baby’s threshold to life, there would be fewer hus. bands bereft, and fewer homes saddened by an infant’s loss. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite

An honest drug. gist will not try to induce a customer to take an inferior substitute for this great remedy, for the sake of extra profit.

“ Mrs. Seagle was a great sufferer from a com- bination of female diseases, a few years ago, from which she has been entirely cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,’ writes Geo. A. Seagle, Esq., of Box 130, Wytheville, Va. “She is thoroughly convinced that there 1s no medi- cine on earth equal to the ‘ Favorite Prescription, and she doesn’t hesitate tosay so. She has rec- ommended it to her lady friends, and in all cases, where it has been given a fair trial, it has given entire satisfaction.” P ee

again, buf méanwhile you shall not breathe a word of all this to Andre. You are avery good detective, Borof- sky, but you require to be more of an English gentleman in some matters. You don't understand the meaning of the words ‘noblesse oblige.’ "’

Borcfsky flushed, but replied with assumed indifference:

‘“‘Not being one of the noblesse, I may be forgiven!’’ he laughed. ‘But go your ways, spend money how you like. It does not matter to me. Only don’t let this rascal go until we have verified his information. Meanwhile I shall not tell Andre, since you desire secrecy.”’

“I insist on secrecy!’’ I said. ‘‘Ex- cuse me, Borofsky, but I will have my way in this. However, I shall take your advice about retaining my prisoner for awhile. That isa good idea, and I thank you for it.”’

Then I returned to my prisoner. I wrote out the check and handed it to him; further, I made out, at his dicta- tion, the form of guarantee he required that, in so far asI and my household were concerned, the secret of his pres- ence in this house and of his connec- tion with certain affairs presently to be mentioned in private conversation should never be revealed.

Then came the crucial moment.

‘“‘Now, my friend,”’ I said, doing my best to maintain a decent display of

ter of fact, my knees shook and my hands as well, and my tongue was dry, and my heart and pulses were all a-throb with the tension of the mo- ment—‘‘now, my friend, I have per- formed my share of the agreement. The time has come for you to perform yours!”’

“‘Good!”’ said the student. “I see that I am dealing with an honorable man, and you shall see that you are in the same position. My story may be rather a long one. A bottle of that very delicious wine which was served to me with my meal would assist both reciter and listener. Shall I ring the bell?’’

Another five minutes of agonizing suspense.

The little wretch waited for the wine. I could have kicked him, with- out mercy, into apulp. Then he poured out a glassful for himself and another for me, drank half of his own, sighed, finished his glass, replenished it, set it down at his elbow, settled himself in his chair and said:

‘*You are anxious to get to business, Isee. Well, I will put you out of your misery inone word. I know where your father is, and, for all I know te the contrary, he is alive and well.”’

**Thank God!’’ I ejaculated. ‘*Where ishe? Tell me! CaenI get at him?’

‘““Hush!’’ hesaid. ‘*‘You go too fast! It isa good story, and I shall enjoy telling it from the beginning.’’

CHAPTER XXII. THE STUDENT’S STORY.

“This man Andre,’’ continued the student, ‘‘is, as you have rightly con- cluded, your father’s brother. His real address is Siberia. Ask your friends, the police, and they will tell you that this is so. Indeed they will assure you that our good friend is still enjoying a dog’s life in the mines, somewhere near Sakhalin.

‘‘Very well. But, as you are aware, he is nothing of the sort. He is here and engaged in certain very important and very secret arrangements, as to which I may have more to say at a later period, supposing that it should be worth your while to come to terms with me.

‘‘Well, then, in order to be here your respected uncle must have first left Si- beria. He did so. He left the mines without permission of the authorities. In a werd, he escaped and came to St Petersburg. Capital—a very well con- ceived and cleverly executed escape, as to which I may some day, cver another bottle of wine, amuse you with the de- tails, but at present I desire to come quickly to the main interest of the story.

‘Cleverly as friend Andre escaped, however, the police—for once in their lives—showed some little sagacity in following up the matter. They could not catch him on the spot, neither could they find him through all the thousands of miles that lie between Sakhalin and St. Petersburg, but by some chance they found him in St. Petersburg itself shortly after his arrival here. Very un- lucky this, as you will admit.

‘‘Well, they shadowed him, having once got upon his scent, and, though Andre was clever enough to keep out of their clutches, the position became strained, and a meeting of certain peo- ple was held in order to devise some means of relieving the strain.

‘“‘One of the bloodhounds died about

‘‘He was murdered, you mean,’’ I in- terrupted in disgust. ‘*God forgive ts for harboring in the house such rascals as Andre and yourself and for dealing | with you instead of handing you over to justice, as we ought to do.”’

‘*You are positively rude, my friend,’ continued the student, ‘‘and extremely unjust besides, to one of us, at any rate. Andre may be all you imply, but then he is a near relative of yours and entitled to indulgence from the respect- able members of his family, but I— what ill do you know of me? Iam an innocent lamb, incapable of hurt or harm. Iam telling you a picturesque story of the adventures of this near rel- ative of your own. What have I to do with it? I am narrator only.”’

‘‘Stop,’’ I said. ‘‘What has all this to do with my father? You are not to suppose that I shall submit to be put off with your conceitedly tcld yarns about others unless they carry substan- tial information as to my father and his whereabouts. The check can be stopped and you arrested!”’

‘‘And yon can do just what the blood- bound aforesaid did,’’ my companion laughed, ‘‘and that is, lie down in some dark porch or gateway, with a big hole in you, and take your last look up at the stars while your blood runs over the pavement. But surely we need not quarrel overa grievance which does not exist. I am coming to your precious father in a minute or two.’’

‘‘Go on, then,’’ I said. I was begin- ning to loathe the sight of this little toad of a man.

‘‘Well, the bloodhound died, as I say, but another was put upon the scent, and, when he died, a third, and still they would not let Andre alone, though they could not catch him.

‘‘Then, at last, one of us—I mean, one of the body of men and patriots who were privileged to call themselves the friends of Andre—hatched a very brilliant plot for the relief of Andre and for the getting of him safely over the frontier, which—ardently as our friend desired to go abroad for the good of his health and for the advantage of certain projects in which he was inter- ested—had been hitherto quite impossi- ble. owing to the care with which the authorities had laid their plans to pre- vent it

‘The railway stations bristled with gendarmes and ununiformed police— sples, in fact—-and the frontier was guarded as though it were a powder magazine and some one had threatened to put a mutch to it.

‘‘Now, this was the plan, and you must listen very carefully to it. for | am pledged to interest you, and the les in my pocket have been paid me for what I am going to tell you
