For once, how- ever, the Government was convinced of the truth of popular rumor, with the re- sult that Her Highness was already d by te officials asa full-fledged Russian Grand Duchess. ‘h was the situation when, on Sep- tember 2, in the year 1894, the station master at Kornoff received the above telegraphic dispatch. Half an hour later the adjutant of the Governor-General rushed in the railway official’s bedroom to announce that His Excellency Princé Weripoloff and his en. tire staff, would receive her Highness with royal honors. The station master fainted when he heard the To dance attendance upon a prin- satisfy the the same time was almost equal to attempt- ing the impossible. Stillit had to be done.

In the kitchen of the latter @ caterer was busy with a large staff of assistants preparing delicacies, all other work being abandoned for that of the moment. The station house looked extra- ordinary, if not elegant, when shortly before the expected arrival of Special No. 17, the Governor appeared. ‘‘Everything in perfect order,’’ reported the station master. ‘‘We will see,’’ replied Prince Weripol- off, ungraciously. Presently his sup- pressed wrath—he is always enraged at somebody or some thing—descended upon the head of the chief of police. The cab- men and drivers, halting in a neighbor- hooi where the Princess might see them, were in their working garb; they were dirty and must be ordered away. The railway laborers had to don their best uniforms atonce. There were not enough police present; the entire force should be drawn up. ‘These criticisms and orders were given in a few peremptory sentences and gur- gies, as was the Governor’s habit. His Excellency would haye considered it too much honor to address an underling in such a way as to make himself thorough- ly understood. His officials and servants most of the time had to at the Prince’s intentions and woe to him who translated the abrupt instructions wrong ly. His bread and butter—even his liber- guess ty—were at stake. Not until Special No. 17 actually rolled into the station, and the music corps of the Hessian infantry garrisoned at Kor- noff struck up the royal welcome hymn did Weripolofft’s face brighten.

The gilded shine that occupied the place they lived—the board, a bench and a of honor on the principal wall of the hut was all paid for. And how did this come about? Mischa had given up wodki as a | steady diet when he took unto himself a wife, and if the little stranger whom they expected was a boy he would give it up entirely. Yes, indeed, he would. When Mischa got home he was a litte } the worse for liquor and full of talk and nonsense. ‘I’ve seen a real princess,’’ he said, ‘‘and what is more she has seen me. She came to the window to doit, and pointed me out to the Governor.”’ ‘*You are a liar, Mischa,’’ cried the young woman, with good-natured blunt- ness. ‘‘Why should such great people want to look at you?’’ ‘*T don’t know, I am sure, but perhaps they were attracted by my new boots. I had polished them until I could see my face in them.”’ ‘‘Pshaw! you just want to make me laugh.

It was a picture of con- tentment. Suddenly the door was opened With a crash.

Meanwhile you, Duschkin, try and rout out the stuff. If there be any suspicious articles we must find them. Search well and spare not their rags.’’ The officer executed the order to the letter, leaving no piece of furniture un- turned. He threw the contents of the cupboard and bed on the floor and ripped up the mattress despite Mascha’s wail- ings.
