**He’s dead!" muttered Percy. *‘Mur- dered! He’s lying there at this moment with the knife in his heart—a fearful sight! I thought I'd better come on here and tell you about it at once.”

CHAPTER XXXIL THE COUNT’S RELEASE DEMANDED. The chief of police entered the room at this moment. He glanced keenly at

‘*Who is this?’’ he asked.

[t was Borofsky whe told him the news; as for me, I could not have spoken. There was a horrid kind of paralysis—the spell of horror—upon wv tongne. I could have yelled aloud, but to speak quietly and sanely would have been impossible to me.

‘*‘What!’’ exclaimed the chief, ‘when Borofsky had explained, in a sentenc3 or two, the position of affairs. ‘Tha informer? He whom our friend here has desired to screen ; who laid informa- tion of the railway affair ?’’

‘‘The same,’’ said Borofsky. ‘‘Man proposes, excellence, but it is God who disposes in the end!”’

‘‘Hal’’ said the chief, ‘‘it looks like business. Moreover, my young friend, matters seem to work in your favor. Come, you shal! sh this student. When we return, there may be news from Bootief!’’

i am sure the

reader will excuse if I beg to be allowed to pass lightly over the sight we found awaiting us at the little lodging hired for the use of our ill fated informer.

It was a plain, bare:y furnished bed-

room, with a tiny kitchen attached. Upon the bed lay the student, dead, as Perey had reported, and obviously

rdered, perhaps while asleep. The knife I saw at once, to my horror, was assiaw silver handled dagger be-

The best thing with which mother can crown het daughter is a com- .mon sense knowl- edge of the distinct- ly feminine physi- | ology. Every wo. | man shonld thor. oughly understand her own nature. _ Every woman 2\ Should under- » stand the sn- 3 Voreme import- BY ance of keeping ~ 4) herself well and Strong in «2 womanly way. *. Nearly all of the

pains and aches, nearly all the weakness and sickness and suffering of women is due the organs dis-

to disorders or disease of tinctiy reminine.

A woman who suffers in this way is un- fitted for wifehood and motherhood. Ma- ternity is a menace of death. Thousands of women suffer in this way because their innate modesty will not permit them to submit to the disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average physician. These ordeals are unnecessary. Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- eal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has dis- covered a wonderful remedy with which women may treat and speedily cure them- selves in the privacy of their own homes. This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned.

It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes ain and rests the tortured merves. Taken

during the critical period, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. Thousands of | women who were once weak, sickly, nerv- ous fretful invalids, are now happy, healthy wives, because of this medicine. It is sold by all good medicine dealers and no honest dealer will advise a substitute.

“When I commenced using Dr. Pierce’s med- itines some three years ago.”’ writes Mrs. Ella J. Fox, care of W.C. Fox, of Eldorado, Saline Co., Ills. “I was the picture of death. I had no heart totake anything. Weight was 125. My husband had been to see five different doctors about my trouble (female weakness). I commenced taking Dr. Pierce’s medicines, also wrote to him for ac- vice. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and one vial of his ‘ Pleasant Pel lets,’ and am uow a well woman.” A

at Percy. ‘*It so, this murder assumes a significance which’’—

‘*Most’ assuredly the sconndrel knew all about it, for he compelled me by means of personal violence to disclose the source of the informaticn I held,” said Borofsky.

‘*When was this?”

“Only last night. "’

‘Ha! He did not lose much time, then. How did he know where to find the student ?’’

‘‘We brought the poor wretch to these quarters last night. He must have shadowed us.’”’

‘Good! And the knife?’

“It is my father’s,’’ I said. ‘‘He brought it ont of my father’s study to do his devil’s work for him.’’

‘*Well, I fancy we shall have him presently, whether he be your father or the other,’’ said thechief. *‘He will not get far.”

‘‘Whether he be my father!’’ I ex- claimed. ‘‘Do you mean, excellence, that you are not satisfied thie ecoundrel is the man we assert him to be—Andre, or Kornilof, and not my father ?’’

“Nothing is proved, excepting that the student is dead with your father’s knife in his heart!’’ said the chief. ‘‘Wecan jump to no conclusions in such cases, though I think matters tend in favor of your point of view.”’

Borofsky nudged me ‘‘Don’t be afraid,’’ he whispered; ‘‘the officials must make a pretense of believing themselves infallible. He does not real- ly think your father could possibly have done such a deed as this. He would not be such a fool.’

‘‘Heaven forbid! § would nct heve even a blundering policeman believe it!’’ I said.

Meanwhile our friend, the chief, bade us prepare to follow him back to the chancellery of the department. It might be that news had come, by this time, from Boetief. Much would depend upon this news, he said, for if it should turn out that the student’s story about the mining of the railway were true, then it would be fair to assume that his tes- timony to the identity of Andre was true also, and perhaps the whole story of the substitution of my innocent fa- ther for the guilty party on the fateful day of the arrest

On our return to the chancellery ex- citing news awaited us. Though we had been away scarcely an hour, a reply had already come from Bootief that in- stantly on receipt of the message from headquarters a squad of mounted gen- darmes had been sent down the line two miles, to the point indicated.

This was easily effected, because the gendarmes and soldiers were already massed in all towns along the route to be tuken by the czar, in readiness to line the railway 24 hours before the imperial train should pass along it. This precaution was constantly taken at the time of these events, in conse- quence of the activity of the enemies of order, who nevertheless contrived oc- casionally to make their preparations in spite of the thin cordon of protectors stretched for hundreds of miles through the country.

The squad of gendarmes had, in this case, ridden straight to the spot describ- ed by our informant and detailed in the

telegram from headquarters. Here dhev had surprised a woodman taking his midday meal within his hut. On thei. inviting this individual to show ther, where the entrance to the excavations which he had assisted to make was to be found he had fired a revolver in their faces, wounding two men before being himself overpowered. They had then removed his bed—a mere straw mattress on the ficor of the hut—and discovered a neat tunnel starting thence and rnuning underneath the line, 15 or 20 yards away; a_ beautifully con- structed thing and eminently adapted for carrying out the purpose for which it was made—namely, to blow up the permanent way and with it any train that might hapren to be passing along the rails at the moment of the explosion.

The chief crossed himself as he read the telegram and muttered something which sounded like a line out of the litany.

‘*Your little rascal spoke the truth,” he said. ‘‘Upon my word, he deserved to enjoy the fruits of virtue. It will be interesting now to catch this other.’”’

‘“‘Don’t wait to catch him, excellence, before handing us—what we have sure- ly deserved at-your hands—Count Laa- drinof’s release.”’

The chief reflected. ‘‘It is most un- usual,’’ he said, ‘‘to do anything of the kind. How can we let the one go before we have the other to put in his place?”

I stamped my foot. What did I care for the high mightiness of this official?

‘‘I will go to the czar himself!’ I raged. ‘‘I will tell him that the same police who blundered in July to the ruin of my innocent father have now

: blundered again, allowing a party of

miscreants to undérniiié the raliway over which he will presently travel. I will tell the whole story. The czar shall see who ig right and who is wrong, if the police cannot or will not!"’

*‘Come,’’ said the chief, ‘‘there is no need of raised voices and angry worde. i will telegraph to the penal settle- ment in which the count, if he it be, is now living. Tell me something by which he may be recognized, and if such distinguishing mark is to be found apon him he shall be set free on the instant. Think now. Has hea mole, a scar—anything. I only desire to do the right. If we have blundered, as you say, we shall rectify our mistake But we must not blunder again!”’

CHAPTER XXXIIL THE CAPTURE OF ANDRE.

There was no difficulty in obliging the chief on this point. My father had once broken his right leg below the knee and carried an unmistakable memento of the experience in the shape of a huge scar on bis shin. I mentioned this fact to the chief, who forthwith declared that this should be amply suf- ficient for identification, and that he would have my father’s whereabouts ascertained anda telegram sent with- out delay to the governor of his prison.

I fancy, but I will not absolutely as- sert it to be the case, that my threat to take care the czar should hear of the blunders of his police force quickened at any rate the desire of his excellence to see justice done. Perhaps I am wrong, but I cannot help feeling that the chief’s tenure of his high office would not long have survived the dis- covery by the czar of so well advanced a plot to assassinate him. Asa matter of fact the secret of this conspiracy never leaked out, and it is practically certain that the czar never heard of it.

So we three young men returned home that afternoon well enough pleased with our day’s work.

What had we accomplished? I sat in my own private study, adjoining my bedroom, before retiring for the night and counted up my gains. I was in a fair way to get father restored to free- dom. There conld be but one result to the chief’s telegram. He must be iden- tified at once and allowed to go free. That was the first and best point of all. Then we were rid of Andre. It was exceedingly unlikely that he would ever favor us with his presence again—nay, it was probable that the police would put it out of the question by laying hands upon him before he could escape very far. If they did so, they would not let him go again, poor wretch! This time his departure for the east would be final.

Dr CHASE

DISCOVERED ME RYOUS

A NEW TREATHENT DISEASES

In his study of diseases of the nerves, Dr. A. W. Chase found that in nearly every case the cause of trouble was improper nourish- ment. About one-fifth of all the blood in the human body is found in the brain, and unless this blood is rich and pure the nerves cannot obtain proper nourishment, and become worn ont and exhausted.

Nervous depression, nervous headache, nervous dyspepsia, loss of sleep and vital force, lack of energy, are symptoms of weak, watery blood and exhausted nerves.

It was asa food for blood and nerves that Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food was prepared. Its remarkable success in curing all diseases arising from thin blood and impoverished nerves is proof that Dr. Chase’s theory of fecd- ing the nerves and blood is the proper one; stimulants cnly urge on the tired and worn out nervous system until there comes a complete collapse.

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food creates new brain and nerve ceiis, and makes the blood pure and rich. It restores to the exhausted

nerves the vigor of perfect health. soc. a large box, at alldealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co,, Toronto,
