this time 1 knew that I nhouid pit s."
fotl-faetloii. nnd. Mte-e I was nnt i ilt .1
td to marry a man who had a f cu t
from me, I broke the ciigayeiiv-nt.
All this was a few montlH before t'je
great earthquake when our lily was
destroyed. Among tlioe who did not
turn up after that dreadful calamity
was my former fiance. 1 1 is house was
one that fe'l at the first Mask, ai.d
only one member of the family had
Iinil time to escap". This per'!) said
that lalward Illsley was not in the
house at the Uine of the ipiake. Xhrn
the debris wap removed every Ikk'v
was found except his. This indi- atisl
that lie h;nl probably b en kiii.-d else
where, l'.ut, thiiugli his friends kept
track of all the boi'.h-s taken mil, his
wan never found-at leaid not identi
fied. Very naturally I connected his mys
terious disappearance with the reasons
for which I had broken my em-ige-incut.
If I had been puzzled Ix-foro I
was more puzzled now. A new devel
opment was that one of Kdwurd'B
most Intimate friends was among the
missing, and his body was not found
There were other persons not nc
counted for, but the man mentioned
was the only one I hapiieiud to know
lis one of his friends. This deepened
the mvsteiT for ute. though for me
alone, fur 1 never revealed what I
witrd had told me, or, rather, what he
had not told mo.
One morning I took up a newspaper
nnd saw an explanation of the mystery
that was haunting me to persistently
that 1 was beginning to break down
under it. The paper eotitained tin an
nouncement that the lot ou which
knew had stood the Illsley house had
been purchased and the foundations
taken out to make way for new ones
A space had twu walled up. ov!de:ily
by amateur masons, and covered w ith
an arched brick roof, the entrance to
which was an iron door. The door be
ing forced, its latch was found to have
lieen wedged by tin) earthquake so
that It could not he opened. There had
been entrance from without through a
cellar door.
Inside this lnelosurc, which was fur
nished, were found flvo skeletons -three
tneu and two women. On a table lay
I note addressed "To Those Who Shall
l-'iiid Our Ihidles," stating that they
were pinned In by what they supposed
to be an earthquake nnd were starving
to death. The only Information as to
the cause of their being there were the
words, "Our secret dies with us."
I have nllinh-d to this as an explana
tion, It was an explanation that threw
me into n far greater state of curiosity
than before. I nm consumed day and
night with n desire to kuow what
could have been tho object of this se
cret coterie.

Mme. Beuardier was worried about

thing would comfort his mother, and
that was to spend her last days lavish

But Gaston had an uncle, n crusty
old bachelor, who laid beou Jilted in
his youth aud who hated nil women
for whnt he had suffered from one.
This uncle lind poisoned his nephew's
mind ngainst the sex. Besides this,
Gaston enjoyed his bachelorhood so

'common name In Itussla. end Kaisaro-
vitch did a-.t consider for a moment
that any cue was .-ailing him. But
when the letters "KaUirovlteh" were
indicated he was astonished. He had
no friends among the prisoners and
could u"t imagine who i. cuid have any
thing to communicate to him. The
en'v thing he had in his, cell to ham
mer w ith was the sole cf his shoe, and
with this he s :..':.. 1 cut the words
"Who is it:"
The answer caused Kaisarovitch to
clutch his forehead in dread lest his
sufferings had made him mentally an
imbecile. The name given was that of
peter Eukoff.
When Kaisaroritch regained his
equaniinitv he had lost a part of what
hud followed the name. What he
caught was this:
, "Noble conduct. It has strengthened
your friends in their confidence In hu
man nature and that enough true men
and women exist to make Russia
free."
! Paul took up his shoe nnd telegraph
ed back ns follows:
i "Is this Peter F.ukoff, who betrayed
me?"
The answer came: "Yen were be
trayed to save your companions. Ar
rests were to b- umde among us that
could have divulged nil our purposes.
Ten of us agreed that If we could con
eentrate suspicion upon you the gov
ernment might ki',1 you, but could nev
er extort a secret from you. It was
agreed that I should galu the confl
deuce of the government by Informing
on my best friend and name as mem
bers persons not of the circle and who
would have time to get away. No one
of us has suffered except you, aud I
j nm here to save you."
Of the different causes for rejoicing
contained in this message the fact that
the man Paul loved had done the ap
parent act of treachery for a purpose
was the chief. Of all the moments of
Paul Kalsarovitch's life this was the
happiest. He telegraphed back.
"I glory in my sufferings since I
have saved my friends aud have my
confidence in you restored."
Peter Eukoff had promised the min
ister if he would send him a supposed
prisoner to Siberia he would get from
certain prisoners there information the
government very much desired. Eu
koff was sent in chains, but with a let
ter to the governor of the prison stat
lug that he was really a spy ou other
prisoners. Iu this way he obtained ae
cess to Kaisarovitch uud secured per
mission to take him to a certain point
where information was to be derived
through his Influence. When the two
men got beyond the prison guards
they set off through the wilderness and
nfter many months of suffering reach
ed the boundary of Sweden. There
they found other political exiles, who
helped them with funds to reach
America. Kaisarovitch Is uow wor
shiped almost ns a God by the revolu
tionists, nnd Eukoff Is considered one
of their most efficient workeis.
