CHATTER IX. THE HAHK TALLB LOW BR DOWN A!I RR. VKALd TUB liCAKT. It was early evening cro Zcnobio entered tho apartment of her young mistress. As she opened tho door sha found all dark within. . She moved into tho room, and, shading her candlo with her hand, sho gaz ed nlwtit. Tho wind still howled fearfully without, and tho snow camo driving against the windows, Whop tho girl hod reached tho cx tromity of the place, she called her mistress name, and sho was answer ed by a low groan from tho couch in tho corner. Thither sho hastened. and thero she found her mistress "Rosalind my mistress!" sho cried, kneeling down. "Who is it" the maiden asked, starting up and gazing frantically around. "It ia I, Zenobie. Bay, my dear, good mistress, what la it r YY hat ia tho matter? What has happened?" With a quick movement Rosalind put her attendant away and sat up, and, having gazed about her for somo momenta, she murmured : "Where am IP Who is. hero?" "It is L Too are in your own chamber. Come, yon are cold here." Without resistance the maiden Buffered herself to bo led to the place where tho heated air came np from tho furnace below, and there sho sat down. "What is it?" again asked Zcno bio eagerly. "What has happened?" Rosalind bowed her head upon her hands, and after somo momenta of thought sho looked up. Sho was very pale, and a fearful tremor shook ner frame. "Zenobie," sho uttered In a low, strango whisper, "ask mo no more now. I am not well. Oh, nsk mo no moro now." "My mistress," returned the faithful girl, placing ono arm about Rosalind's neck, "you know what you may tell mo and what you may not. But whom will you trust if you trust not mof Oh, give mo your love, and if I con serve yon let ine do so." "I would trust you with lifo it self," tho maiden returned, "and somo time you shall know all that has happened here, but not now not now. Oh, I cannot seak it now!" "Gnj no more, my mistress; only let me serve you. You will have somo refreshment something to eat" "You may bring me some wine, Zenobie." And thereupon the young girl hastened away. In the meantime the duke was in his privato room brJow. ITo was pacing to and fro across tho floor, with Ids hands behind him, and his brow was dark and lowering. Ever and anon ho would stop near the door and listen and then proceed. At length there came a rap upon the door, and tho duke said, "Enter." It was a priest who entered tho apartment a small, deformed man, somewhere about SO years of age. His face was very dark, his features sharp and angular, his eves dark and sunken deep into hie head, his brow heavy aovo the eyes, where the shaggy brow hung over, but sloping back from thenar, leaving the point where phrenologists lo cate benevolence and veneration de ficient and fki. Upon hie shoullrrs he woro a hxtgn, nngaxnly hump, and, all in all, he w fmt such a man m a timid person would shnn. His name woe Savotano. The duke had been tho means of getting him into tho church, and in consideration thereof he had bound himself to do the duke' evil work. Cut this ia not all. Some year before thero tiad been a murder in Mooeow, and Savotano did tho bloody deed. It was work of pure vengeance. Olgo had him apprehended, but ho was not brought to justice. The duke found i him to be klirewd,-unxempuloua wretch, willing to serve thso who would pay him well and ready t) let himfolf then to any one who could save his life. flg wa a man of plots and schemes. He fanc ied that tui h a man as Savormo mi;ht be of to htm, so he propose"! to f ave him if he wnuU serve l.u bene factor. The villain was g!ad enough to accept the proposition, and the bargain was minle. Could Savotano enter th ehurch and atawue the (acred gurb he might in many cases work to better advantage. The wretch readily agreed to this, too, and through Olgu's powerful influ ence he gained a place in tho church, lie knew that the duke held his very life, and Km failed not to serve him. His clerical robes shielded him from much kUrioitiuu, and, mureoveV, ttie placo gave him additional advan tages to work at his diabolical trade. Ilia salary from the government was sufficient for his support, whilu an occasional sum from hw lnntcr en abled him to enjoy many of thutw luxuries which were denied to moht of his brethren. Olga feareij, not to trust this man, for the fellow hud nothing to gain by betrayal, but ev erything to lose. And such was the man who now entered the duke's private room. Ho entered with a bold air, for, though he was somewhat in tho duke's power, yet there was u pecul iar satisfaction in knowing that when he fell the noblo lord must fall with him, part way at least. Brethren in crime cunnot count much upon; respect. "I have come, my lord," the priest said as he shook the snow from his robe and then took a seat by tho furnace pine. "And how is the count?" asked Olga. "Ho is recovering, I am sure.' "Does Konuni sav so ?' "Yes. He says ho will havo him out within a month. "By heavens, Savotano, this must not be. "Rut tell me, my lord, what is the particular need of tho count s de parting '(" The duke gazed his visitor a few moments in tho face and then 6aid "Why, since tho affair interests you I'll fell you- Thus far I have paid you promptly all your dues, tut I cannot do so much longer un less wo can make some of our points work. My property i3 on tho de crease fast 1 have not enough lett to livo on. Within the past three years 1 nave motto soma wul ven tures. 1 put it into 15ut never mind; suffice it for mo to say that I am at tho end of my fortune." The duke was about to say that he had placed large sums in tho hands of tho Minister Cullitzin for the purpose of carrying out the con sniracy by which the Trincess So phia was to have been placed upon the throne, with Oallitzin for her prime minister and himself also high In power. He chose not to tell of this. And no wonder, for heads had ere tlien been taken to pay for 6uch Indiscretions. "And now if this count survives I thus have one source cut off. My. halt oi Urotzen Is used up and mort gaged to him, but if he dies tho wholo comes to me. Ilia father and myself married sisters, and they owned Drotzen, and on his side the count M tho only heir. So in the event of his death the wholo comes to mo. You understand this now." "Perfectly," returned tho priest. And 'tis a nitv vour first elTort did j not succeed. ' "So it is," said the duke uneasily. When I sent him with that mes sage to the gunmnkcr, I felt sure he would be slain, and then I hoped that tho other could be disposed of for having slain him. But tho em peror has turned all my plans np sido down, for the present at least savotano, you must havo a hand in Damonoil'a medicine!" That ia easily done, my lord." replied the priest quietly. x on have tree access there r "Yea." "And can you not watch with him some night?" -I think I can." "Then do so. When ho is dead. 200 ducats are yours." "Then he dies." "Good! And now there is one more, lhia gunmakcr must be got out of tho way." Ahr tittered bavotano, looking np incredulously. "Do you mean so?" "Most assuredly I do." "Rut why him?" "Do you fear to undertake tho work?" "Not at alL mv lord. I only wish ed to know why he was wanted away." 'The reason in simple. I must marry with Rosalind Valdai. Her property is worth the wholo of Drot- rcn twice fold over two million of ducats." "So much?" uttered the priest. opening his eyes with greedy wonder. "Yes; it is one of the finest es tates in Moscow, and it poj" her now yearly income ol a hundred thou sand ducats. Shu does not know it Ha, ha, ha I" "Ha, ha, haT' laughed tho priest in concert. "She doesn't, f h T "No: she know nothinc n limit it. Rut I must secure thin, and in order to do it I must marry her, anil if I would 1 suro f thut t!iw ac cursed gunmakcr must be out of the wav." "Rut what is he to her Y? "Sho Vw him." "And is not your authority" "HnM, Sawotann. Ill explain to you iiv a few, word.

You must con trive some way so that suspicion shall be led at "once to some appar ent point und there bullied." "Leave ine alone for ' that, my lord. 1 can call help if I want it." "Arc there not places in the city where a body can be hidden whero it may be so disposed of and nev er bo found ?" asked tho duko us tho thought tame to his mind. "Never mind," returned the oth er, with a confident nod of tho head. "If I meddle with the matter, it shull he well done." "Very well. I'll trust it with )'ou." ibr a lew moments after this there wa3 a dead silence, during which only tho moaning of tho wind could be heard. Rut at length the duko started up, and, with sudden energy, he said : "Ah, Savotano, there is one thing I camo nigh forgetting. You havo heard of this strange monk Vladi mir his name i." "Aye, and 1 have seen him too. You mean that hugo lump of human fat " "Yes. And now tell mo who and what ho is. Ho was at the duel, and I know ho has been hero to my house. Who is he?" TO BE CO.MI5CED.J Possibilities gf the Postal System. Cheap Mall Facllltle One of the Chief Factor! In Our Prosperity and Progress. " Common ia the commonplace." The most valuable of dvil litnehts is such a commonplace matter, that we scarcely Kive it a thought. It would take a win ter on a whaler niprxt) in an ice floe to make us truly appreciable ot the worth of the postal service. What a wonder ful thin;; it is ' Wonderful in its organ ization, with its vast machinery for the collection and distribution of letters, its railway mail cars, its route riders, the unfailing order and precision of its methods. Wonderful it is too in its re mit. It knits together families widely separalea. it carries across the sea tome tender lov'tr's message or perhaps a little nower picked from the laisicd grave of an English churehvard. livery hour of every day the mail hag is packed with words which waken love and laugh ter, and words whii h deepen the furrow In the clwek and dim the failing sight with hitter tears. Bui with all this there is going on through the mail service a d!ssetmna tion of human knowledge, a reaching out ot human help which is one of the crowning blessings of our century. The correspondence schools led by Chautau qua,' are sending to ever)' village and hamlet the broader knowledge vthich is so eagerly craven by many who are shut in to the homely duties of a humble life. Without the mail system this plan of education would be impracticable. Every mail, t', carries from the great centers, the advice of great physicians, which it would be impossible for the distant public to obtain wvre it not for the malls. Few people realixc how many thousand people depend on the mail service for medical treatment Not long ago when nnme postal affairs were being alacusHed in connection with the erection of the new postothce building in Buffalo, N. Y., some light was thrown on this subject by the statement that the mail by l)r. K v. nerce amounted daily to something over 1,500 pieces. Of course this is not a common case, be cause IH. I'ierce's relation as chief con sulting physician to HurTalo'a famous institution. The Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, makes his advice and that of his staff of nearly a score of skilled aixl exjicrienrcd specialists much sougnl alter, especially ny women, to the treatment and cure of whose special diseases I)f. ISerce has devoted over thirty years of almost constant labor. Hut though this example is out of the ordinary, it may serve as an evidence of the amazing lienctit read by the pub lic from the mall Herie. It puts every outlying hamlet In tout h with the most advanced medical Hpeeiaiisui of the day. It gives at a ct of a two-cent stamp, the skill and experience that it has taken vears to acquire. Literally at the cost of a two-cent stamp, since Dr. fierce invites sick women to consult him by letter without charge. And this would seem to be one of the most remarkable services rendered by the postal system, perhaps the supreme service of all. For while it is a splendid thing to be able to shop in New York while living in Kan S.J, and a grand tiling to be able to command the learning of great pro fessors while woiking iti the Mirhigan woods, it is a still grander thing that by means of this cheaply supplied service, men like Dr. fierce, who nave the dis position to be helpiul, are enabled to place their skill and knowledge at the fliprwal of those w ho are being dragged down by disease, without the possibility of help from those about them. When one contemplates the vast and far reach ing benefits of the mail vr-. ice, so ln-iefly tou. hed upon in tins article, it makes the familiar gr iv uniform oi the postman the most glonouof all uniforms, for It is won by the soldiers of the armv ot peace. It makes one hvl like taking his hat off to the on-rushing mail train, and cheer ing the work ami wisdom ti" fnde tsam.
