CHAPTER XXII. A N'F.W DEVELOPMENT.

Ho shut tho street door softly when he went out, and I fell into a reverie, sitting on the stool by the side of Taras. Uucon•clously my eyes closed, and sleep overc: :ae Brie When Mere} Lucas' step on the stairs Woke me, 1 fouiul my face resting against the pillow on which Tarns lay, and rny brow was moist and warm with his breath I had but just time to collect my dazed senses, to Stte io mv feet nnd whip oft ray crushed hu|nuid ulster as the old woman entered "Jiowl" she exclaimed softly, .stopping In amazement. "Is monsieur 111?" "Ilecnme home very late," I faltered in explanation, having failed to prepare my self for the occasion, "and Mr. Kavanagh thought it better that be, should lie here until—until he wakes." "Dearme, that's very strange," shomutv mtirod, approaching the couch in anxiety. Then, after rcgnrdiug him for a moment in silence, her stout sides began to shake, and Kh#ndded in a tntu of cheerful satisfaction: "Thank heaven it's uo worse than that! One has to.HUG such a thing with one's own eyfs vo believe it, for I never saw him like this .before but it's odd all the same." and again she chuckled until, catching sight of my scared and anxious face, her merriment wan suddenly changed to earnest solicitude. "Why. my poor ma'mselle, it is you who are ill, nut the .matter, and I was stupid enough not to see it at the first glance. You lmve been sitting up all night aud tor meriting yumvalf about nothing. For, look you, there is really nothing the matter •with monsieur. He sleeps like a child, aud #ei\ his skia as fresh and piukas a young girl's, and when he wakes up he won't even have a headache. Go. He has drunk half a bottle too .much, that is nil, but that is not terrible, and if the wine was good it is quite excusable. It's a good sign when a man enjoys life and the good things in this world and forgets himself now and then in moderation, foril'sa proof that he's healthy and happy. It's early .enough to be saints whm we can no longer be merry, look you. Come, each one her turn. You go uosv to your bed and leave the master to me. He shall lie there till he wakes, and do you sleep till I call yon."

I slept All the morning. Mere Lucas was laughing heartily as 1 went down stair*, but Taras wjw vexed with himself 1 saw when we met, and looked only at the fwri ous side of the affair. "I cannot excuse myself," he said. "I oaa only feel verjr sorry for thw alarm and anac iety I have giv*n you." "That is passed I have slept it all away," I said as oheeitully as I oould, "and if you are quite welt aow there is aofchin* to fe«l Borry about." "i am ashamed to say I never foil better in my life. M«re Lucas tells me fchat Kav anagh brought we home." '•Vas." "I have uot the slightest recollection o. anything from the time I rose to come home aud found that I could not walk steadily till he moment I woke ou the couch there whU Mere Lucas laughing over me as If it we- the pleawuitost thing in the wortd to see man lev*! himself with the beasts—or a lit lt luw» r.

"It seemed to me to have a remarkably queer taste," Taras acquiesced, "but that again, I believe, the habitual experience of the fallen. I hope I did not make my self particularly obnoxious." "Not a bit. You were simply incapable. By the way, this must have fallen from your pocket,' He laid Taras' latchkcy on the table. "My tuau found it in the brougham.

CHAFER XXIIL A Sl'GtiESTION.

Kavanagh's brougham was waiting &t the door, but the man on the box was not the driver whom I had seen there the night before. 1 have bad news," said Kavanagh as

he added, putting a letter in my hand which he had taken carefully from a leather case. 1 opened the folded sheet of thin, blue lined paper.

There was a black split eagle in the left hand corner, and on the right of it a printed address in Russian characters. 1 glanced down the paper and could make nothing of it, for it was written in the Russian characters, but turning the leaf 1 found several names in the ordinary Italian hand, and among them was one which struck the note of alarm—liudersdorf occurred several times in the same page. ,, "What does it say?" I asked. "I can't make it out." "I thought you understood Russian." "A few words, but I can't read Russian' writing."

He took the letter from my hand and ran through it in somber silence, then raising his eyes and fixing them reflectively on the distance he said: "It's from the minister of police at St. Petersburg. Luck runs in streaks, and ill luck too. He writes in the most friendly and courteous spirit, but virtually he offers 'me my demission-tells me that I have failed to do the work I undertook and intimates that he shall have to employ some one else. Who that is you can guess." "Rudersdorf," I said.

He nodded and turning again to the letter continued: "Here are his reasons: 'We have certain information that Borgensky'—Taras, you know—'has made arrangements for exhibiting at an early date in Paris and London casts of a statue in terra cotta, modeled in Lambetb,.which must give extreme displeasure to the czar. His anger will fall upon me, and the production of this statue must involve m.V downfall. The order giv en me, now nearly 1"2 months ago, was to si leuce Borgensky, utv.l he must be silenced at any cost, even though the cost be Bor gensky's life and tin- loss of your services. With much reluctance—as you, I feel sure, will understand- I have this day instructed Rudersdorf to sta.-fc for London."

He paused, and 1 held my breath, too ter rifled to speak.' 'If anything can bo done to save the life of Borgensky, I know you will do it, and should you succecd you may depend on a substantial recognition of your services. With this view I have given Rudersdorf imperative and stringent instructions to consult you before taking any action whatever. He will call upon you its soon as he reaches London and carry out implicitly any directions you may give for conveyiug Borgensky safely on board the Volga. In the event, however, of your having indirections to give him'—that means if I can find no means of getting Taras oh board the steamer that is waiting for hini—'theu Rudersdorf will Ivave the sole management of the affair—to sileuce Borgensky as may seem best to him—and you will be freed from all further responsibility in the mat ter.'"

He sighed, and without other comment gloomily replaced the letter in his case. "When will Rudersdorf be here?" I ask ed after an interval of dreadful silence. "If he left oil the same day that this let. ter was posted, he may be here now." "Now!" I gasped. ."He may be waiting for me at my cham bers this moment."

The throbbing of uiy heart seemed to oheok the words as they rose. "What—what shall you do?" I faltered "Keep out of his way as long as 1 dare.'"You will go away from Ioudon?"

He shook his bw*d. "Unfortunately there is danger even in delay. Tomorrow or the uext day he will telt'geaph to the minister for instructions. He will discover that I left my chambers after the time wlinn I should have received the letter advising me of his coming." "Aud then?" "Then probably the minister will allow a few days' grace, after which he will wire the fatal instructions that Rudersdorf is craving for—t he order to act as may seem best to him." "You must see him -put him off on some pretense." "Yes, that wHI do for a time, until the minister low patience, and all the while we aro whetting the appetito o! that bloodhound liudersdorf. Yes, that's what he is —a bloodhound, neither more nor less, ready to run down way unhappy wretch whose scent is given him.

"Oh, a hundred schemes have run through my mind since then—all mad. im possible or impracticable" "Can't you tell me what they are?" I asked quickly, eager to grasp at the merest shadow of a straw floating on the over whelming waters.

He shrugged his shoulders. "One must seem more hopeful than the rest," I urged. "That's true, but— Well, to confess the truth, 1 am ashamed to tell you of the only idea which seems to have any possibility of a practicable outcome. You can imagine how repulsive it is to my feelings by the fact that the risk of death seems preferable now to realizing my idea." "1 don't understand you. Tell me more plainly what you mean." "I mean this," he answered firmly. "I see no acceptable option but to release you from your promise of secrecy and bolt for my life." "What good is that?" I exclaimed impatiently. ".What does it matter whht you do if it cannot save Taras?"

Warned of his danger, he might escape." "Neverl Taras fly from dangerl You don't know Taras."

Even in that time of dread my bosom was stirred with pride in my hero's strength. "I thought perhaps, knowing how great his affectiou and consideration are for you, that your influence" "I would not say a word nor let him see a tear that might influence him against his principles. It would be useless if I did." "Then what is to be done?"

"Fou have noticed the resemblance thai. exist* between Taras and Gordon?", "That's what we must find out. What is that other scheme?" "I don't care to tell it." "And yet you would risk your life and all that! That's nonsense. You seem to be thinking more of yourself thun of Taras. Why should you be ashamed of anything

Taras was such a god to me, so far above all other men. that this intimation took me by surprise. "I mean in physical appearance," he pur sued. "Gordon would answer in almost every particular to a written description of Taras—tall, robust, deep chested, blue eyes, fair complexion, light hair, about 80, care less in dress" "But their features are not alike in form orexpressiom."

The sun was sinking in glory behind the deep red mist", but that hateful color was reflected ui the ripples of the river—blood everywhere. I could see but that. "We can talk safely-here," said Kavanagh, stopping before a vacant seat—"if there is anything to say," he added despondently. "Can we do nothing?" I asked in desperation.

He was si'r for a minute Then after glancing to the right and left to see we were alone,he coutiiiuod_Jn tentatiye tone: "You have uoticed the curious resemblance that exlstH..betwecn Taras and—and Gordon?"

"I dar« say you are righ\ Never mind that. Go ou." "As I t-old you, Rudersdorf has never seen Taras. He has only the written description issued by the police to lead him.

I have simply to point out Gordon and say, "That is Taras.' He would believe it without question."

My courage and resolution quailed before the possibilities this hint revealed. "Then he would kill poor Gordon," 1 faltered. "God forbid! Even to save Taras I would not be instrumental to the death of Gordon. Both are my friends. No. The letted 1 ^ead to you shows that while Rudersdorf is tender my direction he will be held responsible for Uie life of his prisoner.

Jack VTa» a Woman. jgjgl

Police inquiries in reference to the death of an odd character who was known in Melbourne as Jack Jorgenson brought forth the facta that the deceased's proper name was Johanna Margherita Martin Jorgenson and that sho had lived in the Bendigo district for 20 years, wearing male attire.

At one time she became engaged to the daughter of one of tho residents and obtained coarcit to the marriage. Mrs. Theresa Newman of South Melbourne, who beiievest the deceased to be her sister, atates that e-ho was 51 years of age and a native of Berlih. It was 30 years since they parted. Mr*,' Newman being much annoyed at her sis&r's wearing men's clothes. The reason fAr this conduct on the part of the deceased Was that no one would employ her as a domestic servant on account of a facial disfigurement.—Australian Exehasg«.

Boxlnc the Compass.

Take an ordinary teaplate and on each side paint a hand like that on a clock, as shown on No. 1. Make the hand either black or bright red, using water color or ink for the purpose.

Witb a piece of tape—white if the floor be d-*rk in color, black if it be light—form a .s ir.are on the floor in the center of the

room, each side measuring three-quarters of a yard. Stretch four more pieces of tape across the square, crossing them at the center as shown on No. 2, and fasten all to the floor wi*h thumb tacks.

Print plainly on separate piecds of paper the letters N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, and with thumb tacks fasten them on the square in the order shown in 2. Now you are ready for the game. The object is to box the compass by spinning the plate in the center of the square and scoring only when the hand on the plate points to the points of the compass taken in rotation from left to right.

For example: The first player takes the plate, places the edge of it on the floor, exactly in the center of the square, and gives ^it a twirl which sets it spinning. When the plate falls, the direction in which the hand points decides the point from which that player makes his start. If the plate lies so that the hand is between the tapes which mark the division allotted to W (west), the player spins the plate again, and this time the hand must point to the division NW (northwest), or the turn is lost, and he must \yait until each of the other players has had a trial before he can again have a chance at NW. That accomplished, he may spin the plate again, and so on until his starting point, W, is reached.

Each player takes his turn, and the first to accomplish the feat of boxing the compass wins the game. A score recording the

point from which each player starts and also the points he makes must be kept. When the plate spins out of the square, one more trial is allowed. If the needle, or hand, on the plate lies on a line with a tape, the turn is lost.

Any number of players can take part, but if there arc an even number it will give added interest to divide into two parties and play with sides. A prize might also be given to the winner.—Demorest's Monthly.

What Totsy Said.

Totsy's Uncle Edward had come to visit her papa and mamma, and he had with him his phonograph.

He asked papa and mamma to speak into the phonograph, so that he could hear their voices in it when he was far away from them. Totsy is hardly 8 years old, but she is quite a chatterbox, so mamma proposed that she should talk into the phonograph too. "It will be so nice when she has grown up," said mamma, "to hear her little soft voico jabbering 'Bo Peep.'

Uncle Edward took his little niece on bis knee. "Now, Totsy," he said, "tell my machine about the little girl that lost her sheep."

But Totsy just screwed her little face into the most doleful puckers that you ever saw, and all that she said was, "Booboo! I dev-on't wa-ant to!"

Wasn't it a pity? For when Uncle Edward comes

A V«7 Sly Dog,

One day a lady and her children were driving in their carriage in one of the parks at Boston.

They were accompanied by a pet dog, .which grew so troublesome that it was put out for a run. After trotting for about a mile the dog wanted to be taken up again, but the children, liking his room better than his company, paid no heed to his request.

Presently a shriek was heard, and the dog was seen to be limping along pn three legs and holding up the fourth as if in great distress. Of course the carriage was stopped instantly, the dog picked up and gently placed on a cushion.

When its leg was examined, however, no injury could be traced. On the contrary, there waa a sly look in its eyes that said quite plainly that the whole thing was a sham, the trick being played to force the children to allow it once more in the carriage.—Boston Paper.

COAL*AND POPULATION.

TFhere'to Get the One and Put the Other In tho Future. It is quit© true that the temperate regions of the world arc becoming more populous, just as it is equally true that the stock of coal in the world is being gradually exhausted. The coal supplies of the CJnited Kingdom are, for ail practical purposes, much larger than they were 50 years ago, when a great geologist persuaded a groat minister to stave off a prospective danger by imposing on export duty on coal.

Since that time new coal fields have been discovered, new mines have been opened, old miues have been worked at depths which would have been declared impracticable then, and the -stock of available coal though hundreds of millions of tons have been consumed in the interval, is actually larger than it. was nt the commencement of the present rei^n. Just the same thing may be said of the great countries in .the western and southern hemispheres, which are becoming the new homes of the Teutonic race.

Almost every new trade route, almost every new colonial railway, has opened out fresh territory tn the colonist, and the land available for colonization, instead of becoming less, is, for all practical purposes, greater than it was 50 years ago. True that in the United States most of the land has already been appropriated, while the population has increased till it has doubled that of Great Britain. But vast as is the population of the United States, they would easily sustain, if they were peopled as England is peopled, 20 times their present numbers.

The Anglo-Saxon race might go on multiplying tit its present rate for 250 years, and might pour the whole addition to its numbers into the United States, and, at the end of that period, they would not be more thickly peopled than the Netherlands* are now. The states, however, are only one of the countries which are available for European colonists. How thick stand their numbers on the fertile territory of Manitoba, or on the still larger and undeveloped regions which may be vaguely included in the term Northwestern.America 1 How little do we still know of our great Australasian territory, and how much of it still remains available for appropriation in the coming centuries 1—Edinburgh Review.
