CHAPTKBT. memogi ooaniaTnWfc The seeret police of Bnssia ramify the empire bat as they never appear in uniform, there is nothing in their ' appeauranca bj -mrhicfa friend or foe can teUtbcm Gram the ordinary people. These secret police hare often suc ceeded in joining tbe Hihiliuta and in thia way have acqoainted the authoritiea with their plots, but such traitors to the conspiratoraTBeTer escape aeteetwn, and their fate is invariably the ballet or the gger, unless, indeed, theyaeecpt a bribe and fly the conn try, - ouVeren then they are nearly certain to be overtaken, for voder different names the XSulista are to be found in vary civilized land. It may be said also aa an offset to thaa, that many of tbe Nihilists with aha ennsent of their comrade become spies in the service of the Czar, the better to carry out their own schemes. Indeed,- there is no knowing where these aeeret plotters against tyranny are not; nor does the gloomy Autocrat of All the BnsaiBs, with all his power or ear tbe life of his subjects, know what moment his most treated; serronts will Dr, Mulek was a Pole, and was one of tbe surgeons in tbe great military hospital aftnated on "The Grand Canal," as the principal otttlatof tbe Keva is called. Peter tbe student bad been stndyfeg medicine far six years. In America be would have been a doctor four years before this, bnt here he had yet a year to serve before the "stadent could be taken fom bh name and the "doctor" placed before it," He was thought to be poor and be smmotted himself by assisting Dr. Mulek and the other physicians of the nulitary hospital in carina; for tbe sick and instructing other students. Dr. Mnlek lived in tbe hospital, and Peter had rooms no one knew where, perhaps because no one cared to i nkrht folkrwine the eonnciL the doctor and Peter met ia one of. those queer, vault-like places that answer fa wine cellars in tiie great metropolis. "And so yon saw Lola this evening," said Dr. Mnlek, as he set hia glass on he slDDirv little table between aus eompamen, wipeanis long oeara on bis sleeve, and adjusted bis spectacles that be might see as well as hear, for . the light in the vault was dim. ' "I asw her; walked home with her," chuckled Peter the student. "Quite an honor to escort the queen." . "It will be more of anitonor to own "I fear that will never be, said the Doctor, shaking bis bushy head and adding, with a sigh: "Ah, lore is atnmge than patriotism, else why ssaun" T at Mthm think jiawilerwbenlgoto . aBs JTSn, x. "Ivan standi myiCftauaine" said Peter, first looking round lkim, then speakirig in a theatrical whisper. "Bedoesnotlftens." "Hal he'd like us less if be knew us better. But I say, Doctor, we can make hint serve onr cods and get him oat of the way." "I ant set 'a bad band at a scheme, Peter." said tbe Doctor, closing one eye and keeping: it closed till he had finished his sentonee, "but I must confess I carmot see how this thing is to be done." "Then 111 exrdai." " "Do so." "Ivan loves Lola Puhnkir "Sodoothea." "He hates ate and he hates yon." That's bis bad taste," growled tbe Doctor. "Iolaloves General PauL" "More fool she. "Yet she wiUstrfte the blow." T suppose so." "Bat she mast aot be permitted." "Who is to stop her, Peter?" "Iwat" "Toavr ' ' Tes, Doctor, I will have the blow struak before she can deal is." "What! Do you mean that like a fool you will strike it yourself?" "ho, but I will madden Ivan Berger into doing H." ' "Madden him?" "Test Doctor; I am to meet him here to-night, cad I will show him that if Lola does this it means her death, whether she fail or succeed ; then I will propose that be and I draw lots so as to save . her. He will scorn my "Of eomse be wiH, Peter. But anrely yon do set mean to have onr friend, the gallant General, pot out of the way. Curse them silt yet he has been onr friend," said the Doctor, with a show of feeling. "Friend or no friend, I do not care a I am working for Peter the Jjnt L propose to warn the t will be to let Ivan then aherope or Siberia for life." "And this will give you Lola, and grre me the fair Elizabeth." "Wait and see. If we work into favor with the powers that be, then we can have Madam Berger paid her fortune and the Polaski estates returned. Oh, I see it all through to the end, but we must be rarefoL Now, hide in the next' recess, for it is time for Ivan to be here, and he is ever as prompt as a soldier." As Peter the student ceased speak ing a quick stop was heard cu tbe stone Boor near the door; the Doctor sprang into another recess and let fall a curtain, and the next instant Ivan Berger refer mil ended to be Terr triad to see niii, bat the young nouie, lor sucn Ivan was by birth, met him with a haughty civility, and said, as ho sat down: "let us at once proceed to busi"Will yen not first bare a glass of wine?" asked Peter, making as if be would tap a iy little bell on the

Thanks 5 I never drink," said Ivan. "Ah, I forgot that. Drinking is a habit which all doctors preach against and most doctors practice. But let us to business, as yon say." Peter bud bis hands on the table and bent over, so as to bring his face closer to Ivan's, and then he began to unfold his plana. He managed the matter with wonderful adroitoeHs. From the very outset be made his companion believe that he, Peter, was most anxious to tike Lola's place. 'With tbe skill of a surgeon handling a scalpel, he traced out all the young man's acre nerves, and played upon his feelings, until at length Ivan struck the table with his clenched fist and hissed out, while his white teeth gleamed between his thin lips, like the tlah of a dagger blade : "This, sir, is my work!" "No. Ill draw lota with you for it. I know that I am only one of the common people, yet I have dared to worship ' "I will hear no morel" said Ivan,

"Patience, patienca, kind friend! If you insist, I will yie d my place, but it is on one condition." "Yon tare no place to yield. Yet to show yon that I am not insensible to the sacrifice yon would make," said Ivan, softened, "I will hear your condition," '"It is that the work bo done before forty-eight bonis," said Peter, reaching out his hand, "It will be done by that timu, if General Paul appears on the streets of St. Petersburg." Ivan shook the fellow's hand, and buttonintr up his ' coat it was none of the newest, he left the -wine cellar. "Yon 'should be called Peter the devil,"' was Dr. Mulct's salutation when ho appeared, after Ivan had gone out of hearing. ' "You would hardly expect A to be St. Peter, and keep such company," laughed the student, as he tapped the beli for more wine. The men drank their wine, and soon after went out. Although it had been dark for some hours it was Htill early in the night, for the midwinter days are very short in the regions of north latitude sixty The streets were ablaze -with light, and the crisp air thrilled to the muaio of bells and the laughter of merry sleighing parties. Mounted guards rode hither and thither, and there were evidences on every hand thivt the ordinary Ufa vocations in a great city were going on. A muffled figure followed JJr. Mules and Peter from the wine vault, keep ing in the shadows till the two men parted, when it kept on after the stu dent, Peter did not walk like a-oon'apira-tor who is afnid of beiuff followed, but with a long, sturdy stride he kept straight on, whistling the while as if he were, the happiest man in the world. He went straurnt to the Winter pal ace, where the chief of the secret ser vice had his official quarters, so as to ba "near the sacred person ol the Czar." itm was halted by a guard to whom be showed a written pass, and he en tered the palace without farther moles tation. In tbe Hall of Knurhta, as it is called from the scores of life-size figures that line its marble walls, an official halted Peter, and demanded his object. "I come to nee his JitceUeuay irrmce Paul," was the reply. "Who are you?" For answer Peter showed his pass and whispered something into the man's ear. ' The pass and tbe word had a magic effect, for he was conducted up a grand flight of stairs and into another hall, ia whose blue vaulted-roof blazed lights that looked brilliant and far off as the-) in an arctic iiglrars -- Other guards were met and other challenges given, and at length Peter the student, bare-headed and somewhat awed, stood in the presence of General PauL "What brings you here, sir?" de manded the handsome soldier, with something like contempt in his manner. Dancer to your .Excellency, was the reply, accompanied by an abject bow. That is not news," said the General, turning with a smile to a number, of his staff who was standing near. .Excellency, stammered Peter, 1 can only talk to you alone." so let.it te; come with me. The General spoke something to one of his officers, then l?d Peter into another room and closed the door; then throwing himself into a chair he said: "If you ate ready to' speak, I am pre pared to liston." - Peter coughed; the. pictures- all around seemud to hare living eyes, and they had, for a dozen armed soldiers looked down from the lofy walls. CHAPTEB Yt TBS CZAX. Peter the student delivered his mes sage, or warning, the details of which we shall pass over for the present, and Ueneral Paul dismissed him. If the story of impending danger made an? impression on the gallant young soldier it was not visible in his lace. He attended to some official duties. and was ubout to leave hia office, when a messenger, dressed as a courier of the Czar, entered and handed Km a note. "From the Emperor!" exclaimed General PauL Then in his ordinary tones he added: '"Announce that I shall seek his Majesty's presence at once. With soldierly promptness the Gen eral went to tbe royal apartments, and oa entering the ante-room gave his bis card to the gentleman in waiting. The gentleman returned in a few seconds to sar that his Majesty desired Prince Paul to remain. The Prinee, or rather General Paul, to give him the name in which he most delighted, was about to sit down on one of the many luxurious chairs that Imed the ante-room wail, whan Prince Alexis, son of the Emperor, entered and saluted him.. They Iiad been schoolmatee, so thev met with the familiarity of friends and equals. "1 am glad to meet you, ueneral," said Prince Alexis, "for I wanted to congratulate you. " i. am always giaa to meet your highness," replied the General, "bat I am not aware of any special reason for congratulations.""When a man's engaged to lie married," langl.ed the Prince, "he is usually glad to have the happy event known." "Pardon me, but my engagement to the Conn tens Linwold " "One of my fairest cousins, by the mass," said the Grand Duke, with another laugh. - "I was going to say we were engaged by my uncle and the father of lha Countess when we were little children, so that the story's told." "Aye, but Count Linwold and my father bavij today decided that official publicity shall be given to the matter. Ah, me! eiiild-love is very nice, but it never fits the man. However, it is the privilege of rank to marry one and mate with another," said the Grand Duke, lightly. "Privilege or not," said tbe General, "rank has made it ft enstom, and it is one Ida not like." "Well, well, let that pass. Have yon

seen the beautiful Lola of late? By the way, Paul, I feared you and I might have had trouble about her, but as you are about to wed, of course you will give up itirtiag, at least for a time " At that instant the gentleman in waiting called to the General that his Majesty was ready to see him, and so he could only bow to the Grand Duke Alexis, whose light words had mad

dened bim and brought a stinging though an unuttered retort to his lips. Surrounded by a number of glittering pages, and with a tall old man. Count Linwold standing near by in the V, , . unuorm oi a urenerai, me jumpero? gat at one end of the stately apartment, with a light writing stand a$ his right nana. xnougn -seated, it could be seen that he was a tall, handsome man, with the high, narrow head that distinguished the royal house of Bomanoff. He was simply dressed in evening costume, a blue nooon over fits right shoulder and a glittering star on hia left breast alone indicating his high rank. The gentleman in waiting preceded the General, and both advancing midway of the royal chamber, the former knelt on one knee, and said: "Your Majesty, General Paul, Prince of Moskeva, awaits your royal pleasure." "Leavens, and let the General advance," said the Czar, in a low and not unmusical voice, and with a flight inclination of the head. The gentleman in waiting withdrew, walking backward to the curtains that hung before the anteroom. The General advanced with a .soldierly step, and again kneeling beforo the Czar, he took the "proffered hand and pressed it to his bearded lips. "Rise, my General, and hear why we have sent for you." The General obeyed the sovereign's order, and turning to Count Linwold, he stood in a respeotful yet manly attitude. "The men who forget Venus in the service of Mars," began the Czar, witha cold smile, "as yon have done, my General, are to bo pardoned. But now that war hasftnoothed hor ruffled front, and there is peace throughout onr empire, it is our royal wish that the trusted officers, whose duties keep them near our person, should be married," The Czar hesitated, but seeing that General Paul was not inolined to make a comment, only acknowledging the royal words by a bow, he continued: 1 ' "We have talked with our oousin, Count Linwold, about this, and he, shewing us the agreement made with your guardian and uncle, the late Prince of Moskeva, we have caused your engagement to the Countess to be -announced in all the official journals of the empire. You will real of it- on the morrow." "A Prince of Moskeva never broke his word," replied the General, proud ly, "but bad I heard of my proposed execution and this I say in all respect to the noble lady with whom it has pleased your majesty to connect mv name I could not be more surprised." Count Linwold bowed, and taking a step forward, said: "surely, ueneral Paul cannot forget for it is recently he came into the estates that one of the conditions of acceptance was that ho wed my daughter." "This I do not doubt " "But surely, Goners!, you read the conditions of your uncle's will, said the Czar. "Your Majesty, I must confess I did not. When my uncle died 1 was bat tling with the Turks along the Danube, and since my return the service demanded by your Majesty has barred me from even visiting my borne though the true soldier, as 1 claim to be, is. ever at home upon his master's business," "But you have heard the conditions. and, having accepted the estate, you will abide by all she requirements." x our Majesty, A nave not seen the Countess Elvira for many years" "PH pledge yon my word she's beautiful," said the Cssar. "And she loves the General for his gallant deeds," added' Count Linwold, as he rubbed his white hands and bowed. "Love should l for the person, not for the deeds," said the General, quietly. "But," said the Czar, with a show of auger, "you do not wish to imply that you will not keep this agreement." "If it is right that I should hold to a pledge made when I was an infant, or rather made by others for me, I shall not retract." "Perhaps," interrupted Count Linwold, with a cynical arching of his white brows, "the General's affections are already engaged." Seeing that General Paul remained silent, the Czar looked quiokly up and asked: "What say you to that, my cousin!" "imply, sir, that Count Linwold has struck the key note to my objection," replied the General. "Ha, I thought so," said the Count, rubbing his long, bony hands, and showing his tenth. A cold light, like an electric flash, come into the Czar's pale blue eyes, as he asked with impatience: "Are you not aware that it is the duty of all nobles to convey to the crown their proposed matrimonial alliances?" "Now that your Majesty recalls to my mind, I do know of such a,cnstom; but love is not a matter for head work." "Love is a boy's dream ; lint who is this beauty, who has entrapped the heart of one of. my most trusted soldiers, and made hun indifferent to rank and wealth?" "Sire, she is of as noble Mood as any in yoar vast empire," replied the General. "Then she has a name?" "Aye, your Majesty, Pulaski is not a name to blush for." "Pulaski !" repeated the Czar. "Yes, sire, the daughter of the Count my father wickedly sent into exile and whom it pleased you to pardon," said the General, proudly. "Ho, ho! why Count Orloff pleaded with me, not an hour age, to restore this old man's estates. This woman a a teacher in the family of the Czarowitz." "This lady has that honor, sire," said the General, moving nervously and biting his lips. "An honor she shall not long retain. You shock me, sir, and make me half regret the love I bear you," said the Czar, rising. "I would shook myself, sire, if I did not dare to tell the truth." "Think over your wild conduct, sleep over it, and seo me on the morrow. This must not be; this woman tempter must be seen to." The Czar waved his hand, to indicate that the audience was at an end and that the General wasnotfreo to speak again. With a white face, compressed lips and a dangerous flash in his brave black eyes, the gallant young soldier withdrew from tbe presence of his sovereign. "Linwold," said the Czar, looking up at the Count, when General Paul had gone out of hearing, "this is as bad as Nihilism." "Fully as bad, your Majesty; it is open treason." "But I shall cure the youngster of it. He must get over his absurd love. Know you this Pulaski?" "I knew him before his disgrace," replied the Count, "and your Majesty

may remember I interceded for his pardon two years ago." "I am sorry you did." "And so am I, sire." "The man is, without doubt, still a traitor." "Siberia doe not cure mm of such crime, sire," "This man mutt be arrested at once." "Pulaski, sire?" "Yes; see that it is attended to." "Your Majesty shall be obeyed." "And as- for this this adventuress, we shall see that she is at onoe dismissed from the palace. Our daughter-in-law, the Princess Dagmar, is not over-careful in her selection of instructors for her children." The Czar turned, and, preceded by four pages and followed by Count Linwold and the others, he left the audience chamber. Count Linwold could have told the Czar, but he did not, that the clause in the late Prince of Moskeya'a will was inserted by him, Count Linwold, without the Prince's knowledge,and lor the purpose of allying his own daughter with that mighty house. The Count now saw that he could bring General Paul to terms or ruin him, and he determined boldly to use bis power while he was sure of it. In the meantime he would carry out the Emperor's orders, and remove one of the stumbling blocks Lola's old father whom he imagined to be ia bis way. TO BS COKTOJUED.

ENTERTAIfflJiU A VEGETARIAN; Turning- a, Gueat, Who Cam aa Corntalk, Into a Prlas Pumpkin. Mr. H. O. Kuill, proprietor of the Hotel Brunswick, sat in the office studying accounts and human nature at the same time. A praspactive guest appeared on the scene. Too naw coiner was lank and cadaverous, and his mild face beamed with tho light of the good, the beautiful, and the true. Mr. Knill took him for a returned missionary from some hot country, where half tbe life had boen stewed ont of him. "I would like accommodations at your hotel," said the attenuated stranger. "Should be pleased to have you,'' was the affable reply of the boat. "I think I should have a reduction in rates though I am not a clergyman, nor a commercial traveler, i am a vegetarian. I abstain entirely from animal food, and, an the poot says: "No ftoolci that roam tha vallay awe To alaughtar I eouaemn ; Taught by that power whloh pltlei ma, I learn to pity them." The proprietor adjusted his speotacles and took a good look at the applicant. He never had any experience with a vegetarian, and a poetical, sentimental one at that, Vegetables were certainly lean costly than meat, so he determined to take the vege tarian in and treat him as a man and a brother. Perhaps the poor missionary had t-een among the man-eating tribes of tho Oannibal Islands, audhad conceived a horror of broiled bones and rare beef steaks. The vegetarian was duly domiciled. Ha Tew sleek and fat and bulbous below the ribs- A satisfied, after-dinner smile lit up the once cadaverous countenance. It was edifying to see this vegetarian mortify the flesh. Not even an exquisite curry would tempt him to stray among the flesh-nots of Eovnt. He merelv trifled irith the soup; nor would he compromise nun nis conscience on nsn. ne otxua(lo:ed at the solid roast, and passed (be entree with disdain. But he found a solid, abiding place among the vegetables, and was a veritable Nebuchadnezzar for grass of the celery tuid asparagus order. And what a Napoleon he was among the pies! He came, he saw, and ate through the whole list of dessert with unt'niling regularity, and on Sundays and holidays dnplicsted the order. These anti-flesh repasts were about as expensive as those of tbe King of Daiiomey, who eats about twenty watermelons for breakfast in lieu of a beefsteak. When the vegetarian's bowl of happiness was runnuig over'with pleasure the landlord, as they say in the classics, "tovik i tumble unto himself." Calling the guest to one side, he remarked in the tone f a man who is having experience : "See hero, my melancholy friend, I took you for a canary bird. You have tu ned out to te an ostrich. Just go and play that game at the Palmer House and f won't charge you a cent for lost week's board." The grass consumer retired with the remark that there was a strong prejudice in beef -slaughtering Chicago against vegetarians, and that he would be more successful in propagating his doctrines among tho banana eaters of the West Indies. American Commercial Traveler. Queer Currency, It is not a generally known historical fact that from 1774 to 1781 territory now known as Tennessee formed a part of North Carolina, and that in 1785 the Tennesseans, becoming dissatisfied with their government, organized a State government under the name of "Fronkland," which was maintained for some years. The Slate thus organized was afterward disbanded, and territorial Tennessee was again annexed to North Carolina. In 1838, in a speech by Daniel Webster on the currency, ho gave the following as among the laws passed by the Legislature of the State of Prankland : "Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Prankland, and it is hereby, enacted by the authority of the same, that from tho 1st day of January, 1789, the salaries of the officers of this commonwealth be as follows : "His Excellency tho Governor, per annum, 1,000 deerskins. "His Honor the Chief Justice, per annum, 500 deerskins. "The Secretary to his Excellency the Governor, per annum, 500 raccoon "The Treasurer of the State, 450 raccoon skins. "Each County Clerk, 800 beaver skins. "Members of the Assembly, per diem, three laceoon skins. . "Justices' fees for signing a warrant, one muskrat skin. "To the constable for serving a warrant, one mink skin." An Ungrateful Public. An American City Treasurer having bsen absent from home for Three Whole Days, tbe Common Council ordered an investigation of his accounts. It Was soon Discovered that he was a defaulter and had Absconded to Canada. He was Located and interviewed by a committee, whom he received with great Dignity and Courtesy. "Gentlemen, this speaks ill for your Manners," he said, m they Referred to the little Shortage of $100 000. "I did hope you came hero t Show your Gratitude, but you insult me.

Detroit Free jfVeas. i - Are Boils L'oinmuuicsbleT Dr. Ohambard, of Paris, claims to have detected tho omnipresent microbe in boils. He, therefore, pronounces boils communicable and advises care in handling them. This discovery also shows that tho method of treating loits and carbuncles by ponlticiug is wrong, as tiie heat and moisturo so generated aid tho development of the microbe. An antiseptic treatment should be adopted. As we multiply experiences, many ayumrcnt contradictions become reconciled.

POCWBfJIO PT THE HAJUT. No sensible surgeon will attempt tho per formanoe of aa operation involving human life in a room soeluded from the proper amount of light A practitioner will not attempt the diagnosis of a complicated disease unless he can eee the sufferer and make an examination upon whloh to base his opinion relative to the course of treatment neeossary to bring about a complete restoration of health. Notwithstanding the Impropriety of suoh aoltou there seoms to be a great deal of doctoring dono in the dark. By tula it te not intended that a literal moaning be inferred, but that a great many mistakes are committed because of tbe darkness which is the result of ignoranoe. It needs no illnstrations to demonstrate that gross ignoranoo has caused many fatal misUikos to bo mado in the treatment of diseases by those who profess to bo learned in tho art of healing. In many dlsconos several organs are more or loss implicated and wbai eoema a primary ailment may bo one quite remote. For instance, a sovore headache may have 1(3 origin in a dlnturbed stomach. On the other band, elekness at tbe stomach may be caused by a blow on tho head. Tbe seat of typhoid rover is in ihe upper part of the bowels, but most of lu worst symptoms are often In tho brain. Symptoms ot disease as well as diseases themselves ore oftentimes followers or eoneonltants of some unsuspooted organic disease and this Is poouliarly true ot long, liver.-bratn. and heart diseases in general, for it is now known that they are tho result of kidney disease, whloh shows itspreseneo In some suoh indirect manner. Several years ago a gentleman became convinced of the truth of this and through his offorts the world has been warned of kidney disease and as a result of continued, effort a specific known as Warner's Sato Cure was discovered, the general use of which has shown it4 to be of inestimable benefit in nil eases where kidney treatment ie desirable or necessary. When consumption ts threatened see to It that the condition of the kidneys is immediately inquired into and it they are found diseased, cure them by an immediate use of Warner's Sato Cure and the symptoms of lang decay will rapidly disappear. There are too many instances already recorded of the terrible results produced by a lack of knowledge concerning the cause bf dlseaso, and human life is of too much importance to be foolishly saerluoed to bigotry or Ignorance. Auburn Hair Out f Style. Has any one noticed the almost absolute disappearance of our old friend, the red-haired girl, upon our streets? It is seldom that one can see a redhaired girl on Chesnut street now in the afternoon. What's the reason? Simple enough. The white horse story ia responsible for it all. On the advent of the sad tele the life of a red-haired girl became simply unendurable. She was pointed at, mocked, and insulted. Like Mary's lamb, wherever she went the white horse would surely follow. But tho red-haired girl knew her business. She had not studied chemistry in the high school for nothing. More wise than the scriptural leopard who could not change his spots, she consulted the nearest hair dyer, and as a result we have bleached blondes, brunettes whose locks almost approach the purple in hue, and the thousand and one kaleidoscopic varieties of girl now extant upon the streets. The red-haired girl ia departed, from our midst until the story of the white horse, like a politician's early record, fade away never to return. The latest fad evolved by feminine ingenuity is the "memory hoop," which is from 8 to 10 inches ia diameter, and holds from 30 to 40 bows of ribbon, contributed by gentlemen who desire to be remembered. The young man who aspires to have his image constantly recalled by means of a portion of a parlor ornament is now endeavoring to acquire an education in ribbons, in the wild hope that the bow he shall give his present adored one will not offend all the laws of taste and color combination, Philadelphia Times. bew 'a This I Wa oner Ona Handrad Dollar!
