The Coantess Elrira, to her .own gxeatsonew, was twenty-six years of age. She had fair, toir hair. Heht expfessioalesBeyeB, and the angularity of person uist is never associated who. physical besot?. ' . These peculiarities of person and ericaeneeof premature age,UteUennteas rrira attempted to hide bar a ssanier aiMtdMs that wen conspmoosly Them was a gay oompsny of ladies tO-caTauers present, but one man all others attracted the atten tion of the hostess. This was Colonel Orloff, of the naval artiUerr; .

The Colonrf and the Cc aniens bad strolled into tae conservatorr -which; despite the durkness and the oold oataide, bloomed with all the bxxnrienee l a -ropieal garden and were talking n ww tones, mien tones as jowsn nse rken, from the lofty steeple of St, ftaao's, jtear by, the deep-toned bell stashed out the midnight hour. "Ah," said the Countess, ''my father is ave si fjns time. V'And yon are sure that he has in sisted with General Fanl onpobHshh ; eogement?" asked Colonel "There can be no doabtof it, yet snas siiooio: not omntro yon,- sne repliefl, at the. same time u vmgJaer hand vn iuarn, m an nuriug war. -xet it Ooea disturb me; 1 see yon slipjMng from my grasp," and Colonel OTkffprefwe. the thin hand to keep it mm vsnisnnig. "GenererPatd wffl not keep the oonr tract, mark mei I wish the fellow wa doad," hissed Colonel Orloff, who eoaW see his own au- iMivnuivu, in aim wfJH a sua soppoaod rrval. "1 would not care if he were dead,'' she said, slowly, "but not till after he has refused the eoutraet, and of that we shall know to-night." "What has refusal of the oontraet to do with ';- "Only this, Colonel Orloff, that in that event the estates of the I'rinee of MoBkeva lapse to the crown; and the Czar, with whom my father is now in great favor, has half promised that they snail be mine, were they mine, and yon tnyhnsband r"As, shall be,' said Colonel Orloff, fieroeiy. "Then," she continued? "I could make yon Prince of Moskeva, and the most powerful of all the Czar's nobles." At that instant the sudden ceasing of rapidly vibrating bells, near the door, told that Count Iiinwold'a slefgh had arrived, and the lovers hastened to the inagiiilcntdrwing-roma. Count Iinwold soon appeared among hi Rtiexts, with the aied smile and gneefiO, easy manners .of born eocTtier, ' ' ; linpartial thotwh the Cons seemed io befo hia attentions to his guests, prietioed eyecoald hare wen tftat ne m not meet Colonel Orloff vrithar thiig like the warmth that would hnsV delighted his daughter, ' The C-qtintess Elvira soon found an oynortoEity to draw her father to one aid, and heaaked: " Have y on seen General Paul?"

"By the mass! he gave a strong reaon," said the Connt, showing his big teetk "matwanit?". , "That ho was engaged to or rather in love With another."

if Aaa wna ao jm now r "That is a negative answer." X know that ahe m an adventnreta, and she is 'petite and pretty,' as the French ay; also that she has so eneonraged all th6 gentlemen with whom she comes in contact as to turn their heads and make them rivals. It is even said the Grand Duke Alexis has been paving her nndne attentions." itajestymnsfe hear of this. Tomorrow she wall be driven from the palace; but we must see to itibnt so dsngeroos a woman is driven from the empire," said the Connt, affecting a virtnuua indignation. That it was affectation was soon evident, far with his courtly smile, assumed on the second, he turned and blended with h daughter's gnests. Soon after midnitrht the visitors left, but before Colonel Orloff took his de parture Elvira found enhance to whisper to him the true state of aEairs and to say, encouragingly: , "Keep npa good heart, dear Mchael; aUgoes weiL" At her accustomed hour the following TnomiTlg Iiols Pulaski kissed her old father, as was her inTsriable enstorn, and made, her way to the palace where resided her royal pupils. Eariv as it was General Paul was np. and ft may be the hope of seeing her had something to do witb. it, for lore is (be greatest loe of sleep. Formerly Lola's dark eyes brightened whenever the tall, handsome soldier came to 'view, but of late she shrank from him., and tried to avoid How could he know, ill. his intense earnestness to seek her oct, the awful secret at her heart? The strongest proof ever presented to man outside the actual act and that he could have forgiven in his overwhelming ; love would not have convinced him that Loin Pulaski was his sworn S'fssssin, and that she carried in her breast the dagger of the Nihiiista intended for his heart He knew all of Lola's past, but he did not for a moment imagine that she awepeotoa-fim identity,- - It was largely through his influence thai General Pulaski was released, and it was a desire to undo as far as possible his father's awfnl wrong;! that led him to seek ont the poor girl. But in his case a manly pity proved to be akin to a noble love. From the instant he first saw her he loved her; and the birth of that love was also the birth of the noble resolution to many her and bless her with his wealth and devotion before he told her aB. He saw her entering the palace, and pried to speak to her, but with a slight nod she acaamwledged Jus presence and Perplexed and somewhat mortified, the young soldier began paeiog back and forth before the lofty door through which Lola had disappeared.' He had not indulged in this abstracted employment many minutes when he was startled from, his raverieby seeing Lola come ont again. Unable to restrain hu impulse, he to ner, ana news anont. to take sT glance at her white face checked and awed him. "Merciful heaven, Lou!" he said, "what -wrong?" "The world is wrong," she said, making as if she would go on. "Lola, I cannot stand this; yon must rtk to me. Why are yon leaving palaea?; "Becanse, your highness, the palace has no further nse for me," she replied. "Explain, I do not understand." "I am dismissed'--' "Dismissed?" "Dismissed by order of his mightiness, the Czar of all the Bussias," she said with a little smile. The General smote his forehead. He saw through it alL This was the result of his last night's audience wish the Emperor. He was about to give free rein to his fierce indignation, but checking himself, he said with an intense calmness: -""I fear I am to blame; can I see yon at your home to-night and explain?" "Yotttobmmer 1 "Yes, Lais; font- 'twas through my loyalty to you- " "You cannot see me at my house tonight," she said, waving her hand and moving oil "Here the dream ends; here we part forever. He would have stopped her or gone with her, but at that instant an officer appeared, and, xaluting, he handed the General an order. The General glanced at the paper. It was from Connt Linwold, asking him to go to Ids (the General's) office at ones, where he would find an order from tiie Czar awaiting htm. Moving like a man in a dream, General Paul hurried to his office, and here he found awaiting him Count Orloff, a conein of he Colonel, the Countess Elvira Linwold's accepted lover. The young men were fellow-soldiers and old friends, and no met with more than the cold formality of mere officials. "I bear yon an order, through Connt Linwold from the Czar," stud Count Orloff, producing the paper. The General hastily tore off the cover and read, and as he did ao his hands trembled and the color left his handsome face. "Why, my dear ft-Bow," said Orloff, who could not help seeing his friend's agitation, "yon could not be more excited if yon were ordered to execution. " "As I would rather be than to carry ont this order," replied General Paul, as he crushed the paper in his iron grip. is the order secret? "Bot to yon, my dear George. I am here ordered to arrest at once and send to the Bern prison Count Pulaski. My God) it is only a few ('-? since that he came back a wreck, ir m tho quarries of Siberia." fYou amaze me! Is there any ehexr asked Orloff, his fine fce

showing surprise and sorrow, , for through his friends, the Bergers, he had met Lola's father, and his kind heart had gone ont to the afflicted old man. . -v "Charge? No, the powers that "be keep the charges, and we soldiers must blindly carry ont our orders.'' "We must accept things as they are, " said the young Connt philosophically,, "not as we would nave them ; yet; for the honor of Bnssia, I wish things were otherwise, I do not envy yon your duty." "A wrong can never be a duty," said the General fieroeiy; 'Twill resign, and give np all before X do this thing." "Then some one more cruel will do it for yon," said the Connt. "As you cannot save the old man, try to help him." CHAPTBIV-Vni;

txs- nonias. It is impossible to describe the feel ings bi another only as utey are .snown m expressions ana acts. Lola Pulaski was overwhelmed. In . her dismissal from the palace without any cause being assigned therefor, she felt deep humiliation, a keen sense of disgrace. Bnt she could not long give thought toherselt. , Since her earliest memory her father, in Siberia, had been the ruling thought the ruling passion, for the desire for his liberation amounted to that of her life. She had no time to give to love, till she met this gallant young soldier, Who proved himself her father's friend and her own. Her life sorrows filled her heart with an intense are, a just hate against the Kuasian tyrant who had so griovouslv wronged her and ners. Her position in the palaoewas sim ply a means oi supporting ner 014 father till she could have the confis cated estateii, which were ample, 1 turned. This employment and the frequent meeting wun uenenMraui lea ner love. But it was among the irrepressible Nihilists that she found the means of keeping alive, and aflame her hato of kings and tyrants in general, but of Bnssm in particular. The first awful . shook came to her and made her regret with heart tears her connection with the association which murders in the name of liberty, when she found herself selected to assassinate the man- who had grown to be ner idol. From the perpetration of this mon strous crime her soul revolted, yet at the Jpme she could, give no expression to her feelings, for she was not only a ruling spirit among these people, all of whom had wrongs, real or imagined, bnt.it was she who had drawn up the awful oatn that held then together. The murderous blade she had fash ioned in her hate, love now turned against her own heart. It mattered not that Ivan Berger was ready to show his love for her, rather than his hate for General Paul, by taking her place. The young man's fidelity bnt increased her perplexity, till in her heart agony she wished that death would chill her own veins and free her from theonrse she-had brought upon herself. But this fresh blow banished for the time every other thought from her mind. "What is to become of my poor father?" This was the question she repeated to herself as she wandered along the stretts, wholly indifferent to the fact that she was not going in the direction of her home. After being dismissed from the palace she could not hope again to teach in any family that could afford to payher in St, Petersburg. The fact would be published in all the official journals, and thus she would be made a social pariah. As to sewing, like Madam Berger and the lair Elizabeth, she would gia do so, bnt she lacked the skill, .at is to Ibeoomorlof mv poor father?" - She was repeats:" tae question to herself for the thousandth time, when she found herself stopped by some one standing in front, and she heard Peter the student asking: "Where is tbe Queen wandering to at this time of day?" She looked quickly up, and to her surprise found she was a mile away from her own home and standing before a cafe in the neighborhood of the City Hospital. "I have been wandering in a day dream," she said, without notioing Peter's extended hand. "No school to-day ?" he asked. "None for me." "Taking a vacation ? "Yes, Peter, a forced one. "Dismissed?" Knowing that the papers of the fol lowing day would announce her discharge, she said: XeS. ' "What for ? "I do not know." "Do they suspect you?" "I do not know." "Got no reason ?" "None. Peter." "That's strange." ! "Not at all; the Emperor of Bnssia not bound to give reasons for his sets." She turned and was about ta retrace her steps, bnt again Peter stood before her, and, pointing to the cafe, said: uan you guess who's in there?" "Do yon know?" she askad. "I do." "Then why should I ffuess. particu larly as I am not verv anxious to learn 1" "Dr. Jttnlek and Ivan Benrer are within. Come join them; they are at lunch." "You are suro Ivan is there?" "I miirht lie on a pinch." lanirbnd Peter; bnt I see no reason to do so to you." "Then," she said, "I shall go in. " Dr. Mnlek was profuse in his greet ings, but Ivan was quiet, even moody. They made a place for her nt the table, and she sat down, while Peter told of her dismissal from the palace. Disguising her feelings, Lola affected to make light of it, but she did not deceive Ivan Berger, who well knew the necessity for her retaining the place. "We have been much amused," said Dr. Mulek, glancing around to make sure he could not be overheard by the people at the other tables, then taking up a paper that lar on his knee, "over an announcement that is made in the Gazette this mnrn'ng." "Indeed, she said, languidly. "You cannot guess what it is, bnt perhaps you have seen tho paper?" "I but rarely read the papers, Doctor," she replied. "Some one's going to be mnrried." "And some one's, foing to din. It

is the old life story," said Ivan, gloomily. "Marriages have no interest for me," she said. "Bnt this one has," persisted Dr. Mulek. "If you think so, tell me of it" Dr. Mulek adjusted his speotaoles, and finding the place, he read in a slow, deliberate tone, and with the unction of enjoyment, the announce ment of the "marriage of the Prince of Moskeva to Elvira, the only daughter of Count Linwold, First Secretary to his Imperial Majesty Alexander the Second, by the grace of God, King of Poland and Emperor of all the Bussias." Daring the reading, Dr. Mulek frequently glanced at Lola's face. It was white when she came in, and there was a strange light in her dark eyes, But neither the color nor the light changed. She was, seemingly, as cool and indifferent as the white snow lying banked upon the street, visible through) the window near which they sat, "It does not seem to surprise you," said Peter, when the Doctor had folded up the papSFT--"Why should I be surprised?" she asked. "Oh, I don't know," then, after a. gause, daring which Peter looked at er out of the corners of his eyes, "only it is strange that a man who is doomedto death should flaunt this before the world." "If he knows of his doom," said Lola, shooting a glar oe at the student that made him ftisl very uncomfortable; "I did not tell him." "Oh," Peter hastened to say, "I did not wish you to infer that General Paul knew of your I should say our purpose. But he mnst die, nevertheless, and that very soon." "We must all die, and, as none of us can tell the hour, it is natural for us to go on making preparations for life np to the edge of the grave." Lola rose, and, refusing the Doctor's request to take refreshments, she moved toward the door. Whispering something to his companions, Ivan followed her and said, as he offered her his arm: "L too, am going home, Lola; let me accompany you.? . She thanked him and took his arm. She knew it to be a brave, strong arm, and she wondered why it should tremble, as she leaned on it; it had never done so before. After going over half the distance in silence, Ivan, without looking at her, said: "Lola, do not lose heart. Despair is a peculiarly masculine quality. I yield to it, but you should not" "Do' I look as if I despaired?" she asked.

"Mo; and yet 1 can imagine your troubles; I feel them as if they were my own." "You are as kind and good as a brother, Ivan." "I thank you, but, Lola, do not trou ble about the other matter. " "What, other matter V "About the duty of your ooth. "I don't understand you, Ivan." "I refer to General Paul." "Ivan Berger," she said, slackening her walk," listen to me." "Go on, Lola, I am listening." "You mnst banish this thing from your mind." '"What thing?" "Do not ask me, Ivan. 1 know your thoughts. You must keep the promise made me that night, she said, press ing nis arm. "Is a promise stronger than an oath ?" "A gentleman's word is over as bind ing as his oath," she replied. lie was about to say something, bnt uis purpose was ciianged Dy that moat familiar of all sounds in the Russian capital, the clatter of sabers and the jingle of bridle chains. lxla looked quickly np, and saw. to her horror, General Paul approaching witn a troop 01 mounted guards. - she saw Ivan's face turning whiter. and his eyes blazing with an awful, a deadly light, while his right hand flew to his breast, where she caught the gleam of a pistol, r. 1 ; -i 1 . 1 otu&uiR uis ana, bub arew mm into an arched doorway, before which they uaa come to a iialt.

She made no comment, but again taking his arm they resumed their si.a n journey in silence. ITO Be CONTINUEn.1 . Hallway Signals. One pull of the ball cord signifies 'stop."
