*“fle's ike a will o’ the wisp,’”* Borof- sky complained. ‘‘You think you’ve got him safe in your eye, and, batz!— he’s gone—whither? Heaven knows; I don’t. Yet he doesn’t suspect me. He has never seen me, except in disguise,

I’ve no doubt he hit the right nail on the head.

One afternoon in November Borofsky came hurriedly into the billiard room, where Percy and I were busy knocking the balis about for want of a better oc- cupation.

*‘I want your help, both of you,” he said. ‘‘That confounded young student is in with Andre. When he goes away. we mast make another attempt to fol- low him. I must and will know where he goes. Will you help, both of you?’ |

Though I did not quite see of what use the addresses of all these rascals were to be to us, excepting as strength- ening a case against Andre in the event of our requiring such evidence, I con-

the quarry.

So away went Borofsky to the Dvort- sovui Most, or palace bridge, and out sallied Percy to stand and shiver in his porch up Liteynaya way. I sat and read, expectant, prepared to dart forth after my quarry, like a tiger that lies and waits for the native postman just about due (as he knows) to trot through the jungle with the afternoon post; like a spider on the lookout for the fly which is audible, buzzing close at hand, bui me.

The fondest anticipation ina woman’s life is when she is looking forward to the -com- ing of the sweet and ten- der little bundle of hu- tianity that will some day call her mother, It is a pity that this joyful expectancy should ever be clouded with solicitude and dread of the physical which

matern- volves. is no need this excess- ive anxiety if the prospective mother will avail lierself of the health - sustaining power of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription taken early during the expectant period.

The special organs and nerve-centers pertaining to maternity are directly fortified and reinforced by this wonder- ful ‘‘Prescription.’’ It gives the mother genuine, perma- ment strength, capacity and cheerfulness. It renders the ordeal of motherhood abso- lutely safe and comparatively easy; insures against subsequent relapse and prostration; promotes ample and healthful nourishment for the child and endows it witb natural constitutional vigor.

For nearly thirty years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo. N. Y. Amy wo- man may consult him either personally or by letter free of charge, and with absolute assurance of receiving sound, practical advice from the highest professional authority. By enclosin thirty-one one-cent stamps to pay the cost o customs and mailing only, she will receive @

per-bound copy of Dr. Pierce's thousand-page itlustrated book, ‘“‘ The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” or a handsome cloth-bound copy, for fifty stamps.

Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Burnt Hills, Saratoga Co., N. ¥.. says: ‘I read about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription being so good for a woman with child, so I got two bottles last September, and December 13th, I had a tweive-pound baby girl. When I was confined I was not sick in any way. I did not suffer anv pain, and when the child was born I walked into another room and went to bed. I never had an after-pain or any other pain.

has not yet quite made up its mind to

come and be eaten, and like a great many other things too numerous te specify.

At last I heard Andre’s door open and shut. There were light steps running quickly down the marble stairs into the hall, the great door was open, and— and then I was up and after him.

‘‘He’s gone to the left,’’ whispered old Gregory, the hall porter, ‘“‘running like a hare.’’

Well, if it came to running likea hare, I flattered myself I could prob- ably go one better than any Russian student, will o’ the wisp or otherwise, that ever ‘‘sprinted a hundred!”

Away Iscudded, running on my toes, noiselessly—I had put on a pair of ten- nis shoes on purpose, for I wished to do my best for poor Borofsky this time. It Was nearly dark and a cold evening, very different from an English Novem- ber evening. There had been a hard frost for a week, and the Neva was cov- ered with rough pack ice. In a day or two the restrictions against crossing the ice world would be removed, and roads would be formed over Neva’s bosom in every direction that a short cut to any conceivable spot would justify.

My man had not run far. I saw him pass beneath alamp 380 yards in front of me, walking quickly. He did not turn to go over the palace bridge, though he appeared to be about to do so and changed his mind. Could he have seen Borofsky? I did, at any rate, and whispered to him as I passed:

“It’s all right, Borofsky,” I said. “Leave this hunt to me; I’m blood hot !”’

Then I continued down the quay, past the admiralty and straight for the English quay and the senate.

There were very few people abont. The student hastened along, half run- ning, half walking, and I after him, about 30 yards away, going noiselessly.

Suddenly he turned and saw me, or saw, at any rate, that he was followed. He did not know me by sight. Obsery- ing this, the student spurted, going a very fair pace for a Russian, but I eas- ily held my own. He turned and ob- served that he had gained nothing upon me and, like a wise man, slowed down.

As for me, I did not care whether he liked to be followed or not or what he thought about it. I intended to follow him tothe end. I therefore made no at- tempt to conceal my intention, but just went straight on. I could see that the poor fellow was growing very anxious. He did not like it. He ran into the Ad- miralty square and dodged round the Great Peter statue and into the Galer- naya, where there were more people and a better chance of giving me the slip, but when he turned to see I was still behind him.

Up the street he ran, or half ran, I after him and almost at his heels, for I was not going to be shaken off in the crowd, and so we reached the top, at the Nicholas palace, close to the great stone bridge of the same name, and ever this bridge he made as though he would go.

But suddenly another idea struck him He turned aside from the bridge and, running quickly down the steps that lead to the water, climbed the ‘‘danger’’ obstruction and got upon the ice with the evident intention of shak- ing me off by attempting the dangerous and forbidden enterprise of crossing the Neva before the ice had been pronounced safe.

I confess I did not like it. It was too cold and too dark for a bath. There was ho particular reason for shadowing this unfortunate little wretch all night, until in desperation he should dart into the sqnalid hole he called his home. What did his address matter tous? I felt that I was doing a foolish thing Yet I felt also that I must follow. Not because I expected to gain anything by it, but because the English blood in me was of the real old obstinate, bulldog vintage, I suppose, and I must stick to a thing once undertaken until 1 had carried it through.

So I followed with scarcely an in- and—well, some- times the things which appear to be the most foolish turn out to be the wisest. I followed—risking my life— which was so unspeakably valuable to my dear mother, without once reflect- ing upon that domestic circumstance— and followed in the wisdom of utter foolishness, and—

Away scudded my little will o’ the wisp, taking a diagonal line in the di- rection of the mining corps which is a good balf mile or more from the bridge on the other side, and away scudded I after him.

I could hear him run and pant in front of me, though it was so dark out here in midriver that I could not see him.

CHAPTER XVIII RESCUE OF THE STUDENT

My heart sank. | knew in an instant that I was in for an adventure, a wet and cold one probably, and perhaps a very dangerous one

I did not feel heroic. I don’t think I am made that way, and I honestly avow that if I had thought this wretch- ed student fellow would be sure to get himself out of the water without assist- ance from me I should gladly have turned at this emergency and gone quietly home.

But unfortunately, or fortunately, my conscierice would not hear of it fora moment.

‘*The little rascal will go under the ice in a minute,’”’ it said, ‘unless you go and pick him out of danger.”’

I knew my conscience was perfectly correct. One’s conscience is about the only thing in this world tbat is infalli- ble. Conscience is always right and al- most always disagreeable and unpleas- ant.

If we listen to it—as we must in order to preserve that peace of mind without which life is not worth living—if we listen to its whisperings, we are obliged, at times, to do very revolting things and to leave undone many pleasant ones.

On this occasion I felt bound to leave nntasted the pleasure of sneaking home, dry and safe, and to undertake the re- volting duty of risking my life in order to save this little wretch, now yelling for help, from the watery grave that yawned for him. It was very unpleas- ant, and I hated doing it, therefore, sar- castic reader, do not imagine that in describing my action, as I must now do, I desire to pass as in the slightest degree heroic. I do not. I have confess- ed that I would rather have gone home. What I did I was obliged to do, whetb- er I liked it or no, and it was certainly ‘ne.
