I THE GUNAUKER OF MOSCOW. ? By .5 J SYLVAN CS C02B, JR. nd thus 'njnukuij; i'uul turned i went to hia own room, where he and ,rerripjtw A 4 W men be went down, me uoor no found ft stout man wrapped up in, fun, while close by stood a sledge with two horses attached to it. In tho cast the golden tints of morn were already visible. "A gunnuiker named Novel lives hero, docs ho not V asked the appli cant after having rt inudo come passing remark on tho trouble ho had had in starting some ono up. Paul feared that there might be something out of tho way, but ho dared not tell a falsehood whero it could not possibly bo of any use, so he answered in tho affirmative. "Then lot nio seo hiui as speedily as pccsib-Ie." "IIo is preparing to como down, sir. If you will walk in, you may seo him very Boon." The stranger followed tho hoy in to the kitchen, whero it wai quite warm, tho Are in tho furnace hav ing been burning all night. Kro long Kurio como down, ana the vis itor started up. "Howl" uttered the gunmakcr, starting forward and extending his hand. "Demetrius?" "Aye, my friend," tho Greek re plied, with a smile. "I am an early visitor, eh r "I should say so. But early or lato you aro welcome. "Thank you. Hut wo must not spend much timo hero now. M; sledgo is here at your door, and wish you to accompany mc." "Hut whereforo is this?" asked tho youth in surprise. "What haa happened nowr "I'll tell you. Last night Olga, tho duke, camo to see the emperor. I had just been giving his majesty Bomo czerciso at tho sword, so I waa present at tho interview. Tho duke wished for power to arrest you, and in explanation of tho request ho stated that you were at tho Lead of a band of robbers hero in tho city and that you had already committed several robberies. I needn't tell you all ho said, but ho mado you out to 1 . !! . ill do a moat unmiugaica vuium, unu with this the emperor granted hia request Olga wished for power to cxecuto you at once, but I'oter would not co bo far as that Ho gave tho power of arrest, but ordered the duke to bring you beforo him." lturio stood for a few momenta like one confounded. "Then ho must carry me to tho emperor, ho said at length. "Ah," returned Demetrius, with a dubious shake of the head, "bo not too sure of that I saw a look upon his faco when he turned away that meant more than he dared to speak. As Buro as fate, ho nover means that you shall sco the emperor. I know it I saw It in his evil eye." "But will ho dare disobey the or der r "Yes, for he hopes to escape by falsehood. How easy for him to swear that he had to kill you to take youl" "I sec, I see I" uttered Kuric, "Then como with mo," "Did tho emperor send you?" "No; but I take tho responsibili ty. I will tako you to him myself, lto sure the duko's hirelings will bo hero beforo long. Trust to me, and all shall be well" Burio pondered a few moments, and he saw that his friend was right "Let mo go and sco my mother," he said, "and then I will go with you." "But make haste," urged tho Greek, "for tho duko's men may be here soon, and I do not wish them to seo you. And tell your mother to inform whoever may call that she knows not where you are gone, but that you will bo back by night" The youth nodded assent and then went into his mother's room, whero he explained to her what had happened and what ho was about to do. "And how long must these things be ?" the mother uttered, gazing ea gerly upon her son. "Not long," returned Ruric, "I may do much toward settling the matter today. But fear not, for I am now safe and shall be until I sco you again." The widow promised all that her Bon asked and soon became assured that all was well, but Paul was left with the duty of attending to those, who might como for Ruric, though they might seo the widow if they persisted. The boy promised to tell all that asked for his master that ho waa gono away on business and would not return till evening. Tho mother came out before Ku ric was ready to start, and her ex amination of tho Greek's counte nance seemed to bo satisfactory, for tho anxious look hft her face, and sho looked upon tho visitor kindly. As Ruric entered tho sletlgo the dawn of day was plainly announced in tho cast and tho stars were paling in tho sky. The Greek did not take tho direct road to the Kremlin, but struck olt 'to the westward and bo entered by tho Negllna. An hour later a party of five men drove up to tho gunmakcr's cot. They were dark, villainous looking men, and murder was plainly stamp ed upon their faces. They entered th" 1! -! ' iT r b:' 'fv ".v.H!tl not U.eir ;' 'i !:. w.r: K'-i .1!

When ho camo out, tne witlovv arid l'ii;:l tiecompankd him, and : ev all g-t into the sledje What did it mean? It wa3 noon. The proud duke was onco more alone in nw private room, and ho was pacing uneasily to and fro. Thero wan a cloud upon hia brow and trouble in his soul. Ilia lifts were firmly set and his handa clinched. Ever aad anon ho mut tered to himself, and when ho did so his hands would work nervously and emphatically. lie looked often at his watch, and often ho stopped near tho door and hearkened. At length camo that well known shuffling, uncertain, catlike tread. lie throw open his door, and the dark priest glided in. "I la, Savotano, I've waited for you," tho duko uttered, sinking into a chair, for his nervous walking had mado him weary. "Now tell me tho work is none. Oh, for Uod sako, don t tell mo again of failure! "Alas, my lord" "Hold, Savotano 1 By the host o hosts, you ore not going to tell mo of failure!" "Not reallv a failure, mv lord.' tho priest returned nervously, "but our men did not find tho gunmakcr at home. Ho had gono when wo got there, and no ono knew where. "No ono knew? Did not his mother know?" . "No. Sho said he did not tell her where he was going. IIo only left word that ho was going on business and should not return till evening." "By heavens, I think ho has fled '" "No, my lord, I do not think so, I think he must have had business." "But what timo were you there?" "Shortly after sunrise?" "And he gono then ?" "Aye I He had been gono an hour "It looks suspicious. But tho men must bo thoro this evening. He shall not escapo mo now." "There is no fear of that, my. lord. I will boo that he 13 appre hended as soon as he returns. "Right, Savotano, right! And now to tho other matter. I am to bo married this afternoon I" "Ah I So soon?" "Yes; I waste no moro time. What is tho use?" "None, my lord nono at alL" "Then you must remain, for the ceremony shall be pcrlornied-as soon as possible," "And does tho countess know of your determination ?" "Yes. She know it ere bJio retired last night I told her she should not escape again till sho could carry my name with her. By tho mass, Bir, Bho sealed her own doom I J la. ha, ha ! Tho Duko of Tula wfll have his colters filled again. Money must come somehow, and how else, so eas ily as this r "Suro enough," returned tho priest, with that old, coarse, wick ed smile; suro enough, my lord- how r "In no way. Ho, I'll put the seal upon that budget and stamp it- mine! So hero you remain until I am married. Today until that cer emony is performed I am not suro. But tomorrow they cannot harm mo. Oh, sho shall be mine, Savotano 1 Today sho is my wife, tonight she shares my bed, and tomorrow all heaven and earth and hell combined cannot undo tho work. I have wait' ed long enough. I havo worked and schemed and have puzzled my brain to ono treat purpose, and vet each step I had marked out has failed me, DamonoQ lives, the gunmakcr lives, tho black monk lives hut I, too, live! Ha! I live, Savotano, and now the work shall be done as it might havo been done at first hod I been so disposed ! Tho duke had arisen to his feet while sneaking thus, and Ids man ner had been frantic and excited. As ho ceased spcaking'die sank into his chair and gazed thci priest in tho faco. Ho was nil iron now. hvery nerve and musclo was set, and a fierce determination wasun hi soul. Thero is ono moro scene in tho ducal palace, and it goes on at tho Very time whilo the duko icid hut tool were together. Vludimlr. the monk,! was inlthe chamber of the countess, and 'tho fair occupant and her maid were there with him. "And you are sure he means to mafco you liia wife today," suid tho monk in continuation of a conver sation which hud been going on for some, moments; that ho will have tho ceremony performed whether you consent or not i" "les, sir," the countess murmur ed. Sho guzed into tho strango man's faco a few moments after sho had spoken, and then, starting quickly up, she threw herself upon her knoes before nun. "Oh," sho cried, with her clasped hands raised toward him, "can you not help me in this bitter moment? J to not say so. Uh, I know you havo some strange power, and you s may help me. You cannot know the misery I sutler. Oh, earth has no panes more cruel! In all the lonir cataloguo of woe there 1.1 nothing moro bitter I r and the maiden raised both hands toward heaven as sho thus continued "uoonor than Lo that mini's wife I would with my oh a hand let my lifeblood out wero not the act a ein a'niiit-t my God! But you may help nie." "Ahis, lady, I cannot assure you now." "Oh, iay not eo! You can help mo t'.ee from here; you can find some hiding place some place where my las can Im siienti in safe ty from this .'lent evil." "But how cim I help you away, lady?" Hf'Mio vrm Irnriiw anmp iwv.rr-t entrance to the palace. You know some secret passage, else you would not be hero now." , "True," the monk replied in a perplexed tone, I do know such a way, for by that way I came, and by thut way shall I return, but I can not convev you away thus. I am sorry that'' The monk stopped here, for at that moment a heavy footfall sound ed without. IIo had started up from his seat when the door opened and the stout duke entered. The count ess uttered one low, quick cry and sank down. Sho would have sunk to the floor had not Zonobie caught her and bore her to tho couch. The inoiik stood trevt, -with h53 arms folded across his breast, but his right hand was hidden within tho bosom of his robe. Tho duko started back liko one thunderstruck, and it was some moments ere he could puin the power of speech. Ho turned first palo as death, and then the blood mounted, hotly, fiercely to his brow. "By the living God," he gasped in a hissing, frantic tone, "how cania ye here ?" "To learn of your wickedness, Duko of Tula," calmly responded Vladimir. "Ha! D you beard mo in my very palace, dog? Btit you have ven tured here once too often. As sure as there is life in me, you go not hence alive !" "Hold, Olga!" spoke the monk, and so strange and powerful was the tono that, though tho duke had turned toward the door, yet ho stop ped. "This ludy tells mo you mean to make her jour wife. Is it so ?" "Out, accursed monkl Who gave thee right to question me ?" "By my soul, proud duko, you shall know that anon. Hut "listen. If you force this ludy to that thing, you do it at your peril! You had better seek the fabled potion of the gods and drink and be a dog than do that thing!" "Hold a moment, monk!" cried tho duke, now nearly blind with pas sion. -"You go not hence alive! What, ho, there! Without, I say! Zenobic, pull that bcllcord quick! Back, monk! You pass not hero alive! What, ho! Without, there!" "Beware, Olga!" spoke the monk os calmly as before, at the saino timo drawing a heavy pistol from hie bosom and cocking it "I would shoot you as I would a dog! Oiler mo ono motion of impediment to my passage, and yon die on the in stant 1" Instinctively the duke moved to one1 side. There was something in tho look and tone of the strango man that he dared not cope with then. Tho monk passed out, but as soon as ho was gone the duko sprang trt tho bcllcord and pulled it till ho broke it. In a few momenta more tho servants camo rushing in. "Out, dogs," the madman shout ed, "and stop that monk from leav ing tho palace! Kill him on tho Bpot whero you find him if he dares to offer the least resistance! Kill him! You have tny orders, and I am alone responsible!" Thus speaking, the duke ruBhcd from tho apartment to start up moro of his household. First to the gate of the court he went. But the monk was not there, nor had he been there. Then. he rushed to the postern, but that was locked, and tho snow was untrodden before it IIo returned to tho hall, and one by ono the servants camo back from tho search. No monk could be found ! At first Olga was tempted to be lieve that his servants deceived him. But he auicklr set that thouirht aside, for no could sco by their coun tenances thut they wero as much astonished as he. The search was renewed, but the strango man waa not to bo found! Thero was some wonder and some uneasiness. TO BE COWTTIfCED.l sr 1 wwmnwm Copyrights A a.
