Trapping a Spy.
Ortfinal.)
In t dimly lighted room on the top
most atory of a house la the outskirts
ef Moscow t number of revolutionists
were plotting the assassination of the
minister of the Interior when a quick
footstep was heard on the staircase
Wow, and a moment later the door
was thrown open and a man excitedly
entered.
"We bare been betrayed!" he said.
"The police will be here directly!"
"Who Is the traltorr asked a num
ber of rolces at once.
"I don't know, bat I do know that
be to one of us here present"
Every man bjaached and looked at
every other man fiercely, suspiciously.
despairingly. Only the president main'
talned his equanimity.
"Korloff," he said to the man who
brought the Information, "how do yon
know thtsr
"Through one of our spies in the
service of the minister we Intend to
put out of the way. We are to be ar
rested tonight at 9 o'clock. The trai
tor has Informed the minister that we
would be In session at that hour."
"It Is now a quarter to 9," the presi
dent suggested, looking at bis watch.
"We have time to get away."
"Not at all," said Korloff. "There
has been a secret watch kept all the
evening."
"Then we are surely lost"
There seemed nothing to do but
await their doom. Presently the pres
ident said: - ::
"Our only hope Is in submitting
peacefully to arrest and afterward en
deavoring to throw suspicion on the lu
, former. Since he is one of our number
we can accuse him with a fair show
of being able to prove him guilty. As
your leader, with full power to execute
any plan I may determine upon, I di
rect that we remain in our seats, with
the door unlocked. When the force ar
rives we will pretend surprise, declar
ing that we are a society for the study
of geography. Indeed, as you know; I
have kept geographical maps here for
an emergency like this. Let the li
brarian get them ont
There Is another precaution to be
taken of great importance. Arms will
not only avail us nothing, but will be
tray us. Give your weapons to Korloff,
who will take them away and throw
them down a secret shaft provided for
the purpose of getting rid of Incriminat
ing documents."'
The members, who were sworn to
obey their president, all gave up their
arms, and the librarian brought out the
books. The table around which they
aat was strewed with rough sketches
of partially explored countries every
thing made to look as scholarly as pos
sible. Shortly before 9 o'clock the sound of
footsteps came up from below, and in
another, minute the door was pushed
open and a single man entered, while
others remained in the hall. The man
who came in was in ordinary apparel
and masked. All looked at him aston
ished. The police were not used to
making their descents in this way.
"What means this intrusion?" asked
the president
"It means that the minister of the in
terior, knowing of your intentions, has
sent his own secret force here Instead
of the police to annihilate this assem
bly. Tou will all disappear without the
slightest commotion. Tomorrow Mos
cow will not know that yon are dead.
I have men in the hall to execute you
and lower your bodies into the court
from whence they will be carried in
barrels as merchandise to a spot where
they will be burled."
"This is Indeed tyranny!" exclaimed
the president.
The man, paying no attention to him,
called to those without They entered,
every man, like his commander, In citi
zen's dress and masked. They were
exactly the same number as the con
spirators. Their leader' drew a revolv
er, cocked it and covered the presi
dent, while each of the others covered
a conspirator.
"Captain," cried one of the doomed
men, "have you not been informed?"
"Informed of what?"
"About me."
"Tou? What about your
"I am exempt."
"For what reason?"
"It is I who gave the minister the
.Information."
Every pistol was instantly lowered.
"That will do," said the president
"Tou may unmask."
The captain took off his mask and
was followed by the others. Every
one of them was a member of the
circle.
"Comrades," said the president, "I
was Informed that we had a traitor
among us; but, despite the employment
of our best men as spies, I could Dot
discover his identity. Finally I bit
upon this plan of forcing him to de
clare himself. Our associate, Ivan
Svlazhsky, by his own confession has
betrayed us. What is your pleasure
concerning him?"
"Mr. President" Interposed Svlazh
ky, "I have been a spy, I admit, but
not a traitor. I am a member of the
detective police. Give me ray life, and
I will not only give you valuable in
formation, but I will hereafter work
on your side. My sympathies have
long been with you, but I have not
dared to desert my post to join you."
"How can we be assured of this?"
"In halt an hour this house will be
surrounded by the real police. Tou
have only anticipated the raid. This
you can prove by taking position where
yon will be safe."
, The offor was accented, the man's
story confirmed, ana tie is now wore-lug-in
the police force for the revc
lutlonists.

It Appear to Have Originated In Italy
In the Year 1600.
The way Streatfelld, author of "The
Opera," traces the development of op
era through the centuries is most clear
and concise and leaves yon with the
impression that npon the matter of
history, at any rate, he la master of
bis subject Opera, It la shown, was
the result of an attempt made by
some Florentine amateurs to revive
the lost glories of Greek tragedy. They
failed to get back to the conditlona of
Athenian drama, but In falling they
unconsciously laid the foundations of
a new art form which soon worked
Itself into the affections of the peo
ple. The beginnings of opera might
be said to date from the year 1000,
when a public performance waa given
In Florence of Perl's "Eurldlce" In
honor of the marriage of Maria de'
Medici and Henry IV. of France. This
work consists almost entirely of ac
companied recitative, which waa the
invention of these Florentine reform
ers, and the voices were accompanied
by a "violin, chltarone (a large guitar),
lira grande, Unto groeso and gravieem
balo or harpsichord, which filled In
the harmonies indicated by the figured
bass." It is Interesting to know that
In this very primitive wore tne com
poser tried to follow as closely as pos
sible In his music the ordinary Inflec
tions of the speaking voice. Monte
verde,' who was a contemporary of
Perl, but whose first opera was pro
duced some seven years after "Eurld
lce," made a similar effort to recon
cile music with speech, and many
years after Glnck and still later Wag
ner tried to do so, and it Is amusing
when one knows bow far in other di
rections music as an art and opera as
convention have progressed since
1G00 to think that old Pert was prob
ably closer to the Debussys and Rey
naldo Hahns of our day than all the
great men who have come between.

A fool, a barber and a baldbeaded

their way, they were obliged to sleep
in the open air, and to avert danger
It was agreed to watch by turns. The
first lot fell on the barber, who for
amusement shared the poor fool's
head while he was sleeping. He then
woke him, and the fool, raising bis
hand to scratch his head, exclaimed:
"Here's a pretty mistake. You have
awakened the baklbeadcd man Instead
of me."-Liverpool Mercury.
