THE ‘MYSTERY
é = rr eC a
COPYRIGHT 1899, SYNOPSIS,
The hero of this story, Boris Landrinof, is ayoung Russian, who was sent to Eng land to be educate- He is hastily sum- moned home by his mother owing to the suiden disuppearance of his father, Count Landrivof. Shortly after, in London, he is astonished when a friend tells him he hae just seen his father. Accompanied by this friend he returns to Russia. Boris discovers a clue, and sets out in search of twomen whohave as he supposes ab- | ducted bis father.
What a satisfactién it would be to do without him altogether—ha! How he would fume and rage, the rascal, for undoubtedly he flattered himself that he had my mother and myself in the hollow of his hand, as, indeed, he had until this most fortunate rencounter of mine in mid-Neva with the well feast- ed and pride puffed little rascal in the armchair here! All these thoughts passed very quickly through my brain as Isat trying to regain control over my features and my tongue before re- plying to the student.
At last I felt that I might attempt to speak.
‘‘What you have just said,’’ I began, my voice sounding faint and far away in my own ears, ‘‘makes me think that you may possibly be in possession of in- formation that is really valuable to us. If it should prove so, you will not re- gret having confided it to me.’
‘No, no; that is not business.’’ he laughed. ‘‘See here, this is the post-
tion. I have vitally important news to give you, news that concerns your fa- ther and which yon none but me.’”’ ‘‘There’s always Andre,”’ I blurted. **Andre, for reasons of his own, and mighty good ones, would never reveal it to you—not though you fed and pampered and housed and paid him for years to come. You will understand | why when—and if—we have come to terms and my ec becomes yours. | Very well, then. The position, I say, is | this: I am in possession of this informa- | tion. You, being a dutiful son, are nat- urally desirous of obtainingit. That is Point No. 2: You chase nows why) into a hole in the ice. which in itself is enowzh to close my lips forever, in so far as con- opening of the same to do you any service; but, point No. 3, you pulled | me out again,at some risk and with some pluck, as I am ready to admit, which reopens my lips to your advantage, if (point No. 4) yon make it worth my while to do so, and (point No. 5) since my secret in itself is of some value, and (6) since [| am running risks which you little suspect in coming under your roof and selling my secret to you, (point 7 and last) I cannot possibly put the fig ure down at less than 10,000 rubles.’ I would have given the sum named I think, to take the little rascal by the shoulders from behind and to kick him round the room until either he died or

The man may b> able to whip the lion single-handed, but he is not taking chances, and is not going to disdain the assistance of help- ers with hot irons. The saime is true of a wise man who is having a tussle with ill - health. It is
barely possible that he may have the natural inherent resisting power that will enable him te conquer disease without the assist- ance of medicine, but he is not wiliing to take the chances and will not disdain the help of the right remedy. When a man feels out-of-sorts, when his head is achey, dull and heavy, his body lazy, his nerves jerky, his sleep broken, his ap- petite finicky, his skin sallow, his breath foul and his mouth bad-tasting, he is having a struggle with ill-health. If he is wise he will take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. It gives edge to the appet:te and makes the digestion perfeci. It invigorates the liver. It makes rich, red, pure blood. It puts vim into every organ and fiber of the body. It drives out all impurities and disease germs. It imparts the glow of health to the skin and the vigor of youth to the muscles. It tones the nerves and gives refreshing sleep. It builds firm flesh, but does not raise the weight above Nature’s normal. It cures 93 per cent. of all cases of consumption. All medicine stores sell it. An honest dealer will not suggest a worthless substitute for the sake of a lit- tle extra profit.
The most valuable book for both men and women is Dr. Pierce’s Com- mon Sense Medical Adviser. A splendid thousand - page | volume, with over three hun- dred engravings and colored plates. A copy, paper-cov- ered, will be sent to amyone sending 31 cents in one-cent stamps, to pay the cost of mailing and customs ; Sts” to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, ; N. Y. Cloth-bound ge stamps.

showed little or no signs of the rage 1 felt. It was his conceited manner that angered me far more than the exorbi- tance of the sum he demanded for his information.
To receive news which would set us upon a track which should ultimately lead to the discovery of my dear father 1 would gladly have paid ten times the sum asked. But this little student wore such a detestable air as he spoke, and was, besides, such a consummate little Villain on the face of him, that { would have given worlds, as I say, to kick the secret out of him or garote him till he was glad to save his neck by confessing to his share of the devilry that must have been played with his connivance upon my poor father.
‘*‘May I consult my two friends and my mother before ansyering your quer
tion?’’ I said as calmly as Icould. 1 don’t think the calmness was very striking, however.
‘Certainly not. Your mother and
the rest may agree afterward. This matter is between you and me. Who
are your two friends, by the way ?’’
‘“‘One is a school friend, an English- man,’’ I said, ‘‘and the other is Borof- sky, whom you must have seen or heard of from your friend Andre.’’
‘‘What! That little fool? The one that brought Andre over and tried to palm him off upon you as Count Lan- drinof? Tell him what you like, my friend, afterward. But now, this mo- ment, our little matter must be decided by our two selves. Either you sign an
agreement with me for 10,000 rubles, payable tomorrow morning, together with a guarantee that in case of any
trouble my name is nct te be mentioned as in any way connected with any mat-
l would have given worlds to kick the se- eret out of him.
ter whatever that may be mentioned
between us. Either this agreement, I
say, or the thing is off, and so am I,
and you may whistle for my secret!”’
“Oh, come!’’ I said, trying—rather feebly—to assume a nonchalance which I did not feel. ‘‘In that case the police will soon find means to induce you to tell us what you know.’”’
The student made a gesture of spit- ting.
“Tfn!’’ he said, “that for your po- lice! They have nothing against me. If you declared to them (and you would be a fool to do it) that I had said this and that, I should say, simply, ‘This man isa liar.’ My word is as good as yours. Why should they believe yours and not mine? Let them prove that you spoke truth and that I lied !”’
This was the fact, and I recognized it. But another and a better idea struck me.
“Stop!"’ Isaid. ‘‘You are going too fast! You have fergotten the terrible risk you are running, as you took care to inform me, by stopping in this house and dealing with me for your secret. There is our friend Andre to be consid- ered. In settling the terms for your in- formation we must take into considera- tion that a word to Andre would get you into trouble.”
‘‘Dare to do it! Only dare to attempt it. curse you!’” cried the student, grow- ing suddenly white as paper. ‘‘You are right as to the fact; but, see here, you shouldn’t live a day, neither you nor your mother, if you played the traitor; I swear this) There are many who would avenge me’’—
‘‘Nonsense.’’ I said. ‘‘No one knows you are here, and we shall take good care that no one discovers the interest- ing fact. For the rest, spare your threats until you are in a better posi- tion to carry them out and until you have better reason, moreover. You are perfectly safe here, my friend, and I am prepared to pay a fair price for your news, but yon shall not cheat us. What say you to 5,000 rubles?”
“Cash down?’’ asked the student with glowing eyes. ‘‘And a guarantee e
““Certainly,’’ said L. *‘I will guaran- tee that no one of my party mentions your name or says anything to connect you with these matters."
‘“‘Done!’’ cried the little rascal. “Fetch your cashboenk and pen and ink,

‘‘Man alive,’’ I murmnured, ‘‘I’ve caught a big fish! In half an hour I may know all about father. Of course I may be disappointed, but I hope to!’
‘You are raving, Boris. What’s up, old man?’ said Percy.
I had said nothing before dinner about my successful pursuit of the student and of my brilliant flight of genius in having brought him along home with me, ‘‘for inquiries.”’ Indeed I had pretended that I had failed to shadow him home, being unwilling to tell my news until! should have interviewed my rascal aft- er his meal
‘*No,’’ I whispered, ‘‘I am not rav- ing, it is true, I've canght some one who swears—or course he’s a liar, they all are, but this time, for certain rea- sons, I think he is telling the truth— well, he swears that he knows all about the mystery of father’s disappearance, and will sell me the secret for 5,000 rubles.’
“That's £500," interrupted Percy ‘Good heavens, man, why do you de- lay? What's a half a thou to your mother? The secret is dirt cheap, con- sidering what the secret is, and how much its possession by you may mean to both your parents!”’
