"He said there were traitors; black, eowardly traitors, ;n thia council," replied Twenty.

"Tbaij a sewia charge!' said the "And false aie!" thundered Dr. Mulek, whose German aeoent betrayed him, though he was designated as number Ten.

Now, if there be no objections, X shall retire," aaid Twenty, moving toward the door, ' "I would say to our brother, " said the leader,""that we "have yet business of importance to attand to ; it is neoessary for him to remain."

Bnt that yon may see I am responsible, I shall leave my card with yon, on one condition," said Twenty. "What is the condition?' "Thai yon do not look at it for three minutes after my leaving this room?" I agree," said the leader. Twenty advanced, laid a card on the table, and then, strode out of the room. Bo eager were the people to hear the name thai -before the three minntes were half np they began calling out : "Give us the name I Give os the namet The leader held the bit of white pasteboard to the light, and his hand trembled, as did hi voioe, when he oalled out: "The card bears the name of Ivan Berger, student at the Boy al Institute " "inn Borgerl" gasped the people. And Dr. Mulek and Peter pat their heads together, and asked : ' "What does this mean?" bnt neither attempted to answer the question. After a time, the leader succeeded in obtaining order, and he then proceeded to startle his hearers out of all memory of Ivan Betger, by saying : "The time has come, my friends, when we must strike at higher garnet Sofarweniive destroyea tne servants of the tyrant, now let tw destroy the tvrant himielf, An andilJe gasp as if the people were takes with a sudden shortness of breath, followed tim proposition. Then came mar mar of applause. At some length the audacious leader went on to explain the methods by which the Czar of all the Bnssias could be shin, and the number of people neeesMxy to do the work effectively. Like imu discussing the most ordinary scientific topic, he spoke of the uncertainty and inefficiency of the dagger and pifitol, and of the utter impossibility of using poison in the food of his Maj esty, though some of his cooks were Nihilists, The destructive power of dynamite, when, confined in ;lass bombs, was learnedly commentod on; and the leader said in conclusion or rather prior to tho drawing for the six people, who, it was. decided, would be neceasaryfor tha work: "These bombs can be thrown from as many points as there are throwers, and in the confusion that must necessarily folio r t he death of the tyrant andthel&Bil9ation of those by whom heissarnwndedouravengers can easily esenpe detection." As on a former occasion, the numbers of all present, and the number of Ivan Berger, "twenty," were placed in a bag, and a wonum was selected to do the drawing. To the surprise not to say the de-light-of naaily every one present, the first number drawn was "twenty.' To the equal surprise, if not the delight of aU, the next number drawn was five that of the leader. Then two women were added to the list, and lastly Dr. Mulek and Peter the student, who up to this time had keptclear of all Buoh duties, drew prizes. r 'When the drawing was over, the Mn'lBPOJ,salttT . .. J "The sehicted numbers, and tnose only, will n.eet in our private room at the Cafe d' Amerique, so soon as this council is over." Soon after this the meeting adjourned, anil Doctor Mulek and Peter went out arm in arm. "Well, i?eter," said the Doctor, speaking in low tones as they walked slowly aloi g, "irhat do you think of matters novr? "I think,'' said Peter, with an oath, "they e a bad as they weU can be.

smdFeter, It renudna for us to say whether we shall brave the terror of the Nihilists or the minions of the Czar. "Is there no escape?" "None bat in flight, and though we mayfly from the Czar, we can goto no part of the world where the Nihilists have not an organization." "I heartily wish the Czar and every other king in the world was in his grave," said the Doctor, moodily, "and I would put them out of the way if sure I could do so without detection; bnt I shudder when I think of openly attacking the Emperor." "lou are a coward, Doctor." "I must' confess I am. and in that I much resemble you." "You are right, Doctor; but cowards are the most dangerous men wnen roused to desperation. Bnt here we are at the Cafe d'Amerique," said Peter, leading the way into ft restaurant of the better class. The theaters were out, and a number of ladies and gentlemen were eating refreshments at the many little Peter and the Doctor went up-stairs, and to a room in the back part of the building. Here they found table spread, and jfour persons present. Tne man at tne neaa oi tne table was Colonel Orloffjihe lover of the Countess Elvira. CHAPTER XV. TVAN BBBOSS'S BBSOUXOBB. It was not the tall, lithe Ivan Berger who-left the house, in the furthest recess of which the Nihilists were holding their ghostly conclave, but an old peasant, witn tne long hair and beard thai distinguishes that class. Even those parts of the face that were not covered vrith hair, and the eyes, usually so brilliant and defiant, were changed. The skin waa brown and wrinkled, and tke eyes heavy and. expressionless. This sudden change showed con summate act and tact, and ft skill that would have made the young man's fortune if he could have been induced to exercise it on the stage. He was so securs in his disguise that he did not go into the narrow, deserted streetu, bnt walked boldly out through the illuminated boulevards, along which mounted wldiers were riding some of them in search of himself and gay sleighs were dashing. He walked straight down the street on which his mother and sister lived, and he halted across the way from the house, as if he thought seriously of going is. He was osrtainly moved to do so, but as he stood there he saw the door open and two policemen oomo out. One of the men remained on guard before the door, and the other walked rapidly down the street. : It would not do for Iraa to remain

nagw inn poiuuwut ut tuo muw in St. Petersburg are both vigilant and suspicious. . He again resumed hU walking, and this time with the quick, decided gait of a man who had a fixed destination in view. He walked with ft slight limp, but this was quite in harmony with the character he had assumed. One mieht think that Ivan Berger would have a horror of prisons, for if his identity were suspected he would osrtainly be incarcerated, but now he hastened toward the plaoe where Lola and her father were in duress. Almost under the walls of the Neva prison, he entered a low house it seemed actually squat in contrast with the great towering dungeon. Above the door of this house there was a sign setting forth that refreshments could be had within. The front room was cross between low bar and a cheap restaurant and the rough men, (irowded about the stove, looked as if they might have been recently freed from the prison nearby. These men saluted Ivan respeotfnlly, though he looked even rougher than themselves, and ono of them, pointing to a back room, sail; "Lance has just gone in there." Ivan bowed, in Acknowledgment of the information, and went into the back room. It was a low, dingy appartment, with arrest many doors and no windows at Off of this room was another and larger apartment, furnished neatly, if not expensively. It contained a table, a sofa and two chairs. In one corner stood a large wardrobe. The sole ocoupnnt of this room was Lance, the bearded giant who, it will be remembered, .took the records of aU admitted to the Neva prison. One would scarcely recognise him now, with his. disguise thrown off and his hair and beard faeatiy combed and brushed. Lance met Ivan with a warmth that was in striking contrast to his official manner. Ivan, after shaking hands with Lance, stepped into the wardrobe, and emerged in ft few moments completely metamorphosed. Instead of the shabbily dressed and rough-looking workingman whioh he seemed upon going in, he came out ckad in a neat suit of clothes of expensive fabric and fashionable cut. Lance produced, a bottle of brandy and pushed it toward Ivan, after first helping himself, .then he said: "I've been trembling for you, ray gallant friend." "Why so, Lance?" asked Ivan, as he went through a show of tasting the liquor. "Why so ? Why, man, every offiaial in St, Petersburg is looking for you. You are charged with assassinating General PauL and ft great reward is offered for you. "Bnt it is a liel" "A horrible lie; I know the man who did the deed," said Lance, striking his Eonderous thigh with a blow that would ave staggered --n ox. "Then, for God's sake, tell me!" exclaimed Ivan, leaning forward in his chair and resting one hand on bis comrade's knee. "I cant; at least not now," said Lance, with ft shake of his bushy head. "Were I to do so, I would not be believed, and then it would come out that I am a Nihilist.. Have patience, comrade." "But if I am suspected, why should they hold Lola Pulaski?" "Because there is ft strong case against her. She was found beside the murdered man, and she had in her possession a revolver with one chamber discharged. Oh, I tell you it will go hard with her," sighed Lance, as he drained his glass and laid it down on the little table between them with a ba3UMfepn-hwi wisher' "aid Ivan, resolutely. "I will save her!" "You?" "Yes, I" "But what can you do?" "If it comes to the worst, I will surrender myself and confess the crime." CHAPTER XTI. IN TUB lUSX. you are innocent I "But that." "Aye, MM1 " know Lance, irnooent and yet "I do not understand you." "Then I will be plainer. You know s certain person drew ft prise on New Year's Night?" "Number three her cell is the same number." - "I swore to take her plaoe and I preout " "How do you know?" "I know a great deal." said Lance, tanning his bulging forehead. "But let me tell you, comrade, if you do this thing, tne saorinoe will not avail. "nut way not ? "Because the authorities ara deter mined to get rid of Lola Pulaski." " Xou are sure ?" "I am certain. Count Linwold is at the bottom, of it. I stick close to the prison, but bless you, I have flocks of little birds that bring me the news from the palace. You know I onoo livnd there was once an officer of the guards, but suspicion fastened on me. Conspiracy made me guilty of a crime, and I was sentenced to this prison for life. I am as much a prisoner as the worst criminal, though friends had my sentence commuted, so that the prisoner became the cerberus, the recorder of the Neva Jail. Bah! what is life when a man can't own it? Come, fill up. What I no more? Well, I will drink for the two; brandy is a curse to the whole-hearted, but it is the friend, the one true friend of the outcast with a memory." Lance filled his glass to the brim, and drained it off as if it had been water; then- he rose and said, as he glanced at ft clock above one of the doors: "What can I do for you, comrade?" "Admit me to tne prison. "What, and earn the reward f Come, come, I am not that kind of a man." "I must see Lola to-nighfc, and you can arrange it," said Ivan, rising and laying his hand on the giant's arm. "You would subject me to danger." "Where can we go? What can we do in St. Petersburg without danger? I ask you in -the name of our sacred cause to do this thing. " "I can't refuse, " said Lanoe, reaching out his big, hairy hand and seizing Ivan's. "Now, comrade," said Lance, an he prepared to accompany Ivan to the Neva prison, across the street, "I shall test vour skill at discraise. For one hour you can take the character of Maux, that hideous devil of a turnkey." "I've seen him," said Ivan. "Oh, he is one of us. You shall see him again, and he'll stand before you while you make yourself up." By thi time they were out on the street and making for the mar of the prison, whose towering wall rose grim and black before them. Taking a key from his pocket, Litnce opened a little door, or gate in the thick wall, closed it again, and produced' a dark lantern from the breast of his shaggy ooat It would be quite impossible to describe the twistings and windings, through ponderous doors and along gloomy passage ways by which th two men entered tho Neva prison, without coming in contact with tho officials in the front of the building.

Direoily under the reception room were a ti umber of dingy apartments occupied 1 y the turnkeys and subordinate offl ilals, all of whom were ex-con-tiots, though ia Russia this would not imply tliftt they ware necessarily enmLeaving Ivan none of these wretched aparituents, Lance went out and, after ft few minutes, brought back Manx, l ie turnkey. Then: an seemed to understand what was was ted of him, for, without a word he took off his outer clothing, whioh Ivan proceeded to change for his own. From the pockets of the clothes ho he had laid aside, Ivan produced a beard iind whiskors, which, with a little triiuning, looked exactly like Manx's. With a little candle grease and burnt cork, laid on by the aid of a crooked looking glass, Ivan soon made up his face so lihet even Lance could not tell the men apart, and this resemblance extende l even to the shuffling walk, and the hoarse, muffled voice; "Now, comradd," said Lance, after he had expressed his surprise at the transformation, "you look like Maux, the turnkey; you walk like him, and you talk like him ; and so far so good. But yon don't know about the ways of the priiion nor the numbers of the cells. Disguises and resemblances are at the best only superficial. Come with me, however, and if you-should be seen yoitll pass for Maux, whoso duty it is to lo-nightto pace all the co rridors once an hour, and see that none of the poor wretches is trying to eat through granite walls and iron doors," "Hal" growled Maux, "if I had the Czar .and all his tools in my wafcehing, they'd liardly eat their way out. Curse them, I d rattle on their doors evory ten minutes, 30 that they could not even shiep."' "Patiince, patience, Maux, and don't talk too loud," said Lance, as he took Ivan's Land and 16ft the dingy room. Through damp, gloomy labyrinths they pitssed, and at length they ascended s narrow iitairs, and stood close to cell ihree. Land), leaving Ivan in the shadows, went to the cell door, and tapping lightly on the bars he whispered: "Are you awake, my lady?" "Yes, came the voice from within. "Is thali you, Lanoe?" "Aye my lady, it is Lanoe, the friend, and not the jailer. I have to-night a friend 1 see yon," "A friend?" "Yes, Ivan Berger." "Is he, too, a prisoner?" she asked, with a ifasp. "Not yet, and he will not be if I can help it. Hist, lie comes to talk with you." "Be very careful, " she whispered. Lauoa carried a skeleUm key that oould be used on any cell in the prison. With this he opened the door, and leaving it open he brought Ivan,, ushered him noiselessly into the cell, closed the door, and as noiselessly went away. It was not till they were alone ia the cell ths.t Ivan realised the great danger in which he had placed himself, but what will not ft man do to be near the woman he loves, particularly when she is in trouble, and he thinks he can help her.
