I THP ffllNMAKFR I OF MOSCOW. By 3 SI SYLVAHUS COBB. JIL CHAPTER XIX. COXCLIS10H. Talo as death sat the fair young countess in her drosBing room. Rho did not trernblo now, for every nerve had become fixed in utter despair. "Will you not change your dress, my mktrees?" asked Zcnobio in a low, tremulous tone. "No, no," tho maiden replied, and her voice sounded strangely even in her own ear, it was so low and hol low. "Why should I dress for tho sacrifice ? The dumb beast may suf fer garlands about its neck buforo being led to tho heathen altar, but, alas, Qod has not given me n brute's ignorance to help me now. No, no, Zenobie; I will not dress for tho bride." "But tho duko expects it." "I C' ro not. Ho cannot auk me to do it. He may do all ho wills, for I am helpless here, but he dare not ask." "Oh, my denr mistress t" cried the faithful girl, throwing her arms about tho neck of her miatreM and weeping as sho did so, "would to God that I could bear this for you." 1 thank you all the same, my best of friends," tho oountcss re plied, gazing gratefully up into her attendant's face. "Hut it matters not much now. I shall not suffer long. My sorrow will soon cease." Zcnobio looked inquiringly up, but sho did not speak. "Ood will soon tako mo homo," tho wretched maiden murmured aft er a pause. "I feel tho chill hand upon my heart even now, and I know that earth cannot bind my spirit long with such a curso upon it." Zenobie had no moro words of con solation to offer, so sho did all she could do. Sho drow tho head of her mistress upon her bosom, and there sho hold, it for a long time. Sho held it thus until tho door of the apart ment was opened and a female do mestic entered. "Lady," tho newcomer said, trem bling perceptibly while sho spoke, "tho duko bado mo tell you ho awaited your coming below in tho hull." Sho stopped hero and seemed to wait for an answer. But Itosalind did not speak. "What answer shall I givo him, Judyr' At this the countess started up, but sho sank back again without speaking. Tell him wo will come," inter posed Zenobie, who saw thnt tho an nouncement had taken tho last pow er of effort from her mistress. "Yes, yes," whimpered tho count ess as the mesHcuger hesitated and gazed inquisitively into her face. And with this tho woman left tho apartment. "My dear mistress," ppoko Zeno bie, now calling all her power of self control to her aid, "all , means of help and escape wo hnvb tried in vain. Tho timo has come" "O God, havo mercy!" groaned tho countess. "und wo must meet it, sinco there is no further hope. It will bo better to go down at onco than to arouse the bad man's anger by moro delay. Wero thoro tho least glim mer of hope, wc would not go. But there is not. You know what I mean." A few moments Rosalind sat liko ono dead. Then sho started tip, with her hands clasped, and raised her eyes toward heaven. Sho did not speak aloud, but her lips moved, and sho surely uttered n prayer to God, and it was none tho less elo quent because it was silent. Then sue turned to her companion. J ler lips were set and colorless, and a deathly look had overspread her wholo face. "Zenobie," she said in a tone which bore no feeling more than the gliding of a cold, iey sound, "I am ready. Onco mere, lcforo tho last joy of earth departs from me, let mo bless thoo and props theo to my Ixwonu i am puro now ! Sho opened her arms as she spoke, and when sho closed them again Zc nobio was within their embrace. "Bless you, bless you ever! God keep and guide you to tho end of life and then roeeivo vou homo to himself! Kiss me. There, I am ready nowl" The broken hearted girl wiped the tear from her eye, and in a moment more she was as cold and rxuxdonlcga as before. "Lead on, Zenobie I shall wulk without heb." Without looking around tho Mos lem maiden led the way to tho hall. She walked slowlv, and sho fancied the could hear tho beating of her mistress' heart In tho hall stood the duko with sorno half dozen of hi own male attendants. He took tho liaud of the countess as sho ap proached him and gazed earnestly into her face, but ho did not sneak, lie led her toward ono of tho draw, ing rooms, and when they entered there they found the humpbacked priest already in waiting. Rosalind , cam well nigh fainting when f.he ! saw this miserable villain ready for his work. Sho knew now that tho priest waa like tho muster. "You see, my dear countess," poke Jho.duko in a low. hrpocritjeaj c : prcpr-'l rr- tc.ulk l:it J'. ):.-;ti 1 .'71m iutrilly effort J lif-aii! tin- 'it , K 1 il "O.n.o, ?.-CVr.' irj, now to i.i"3 said OI.m, turn priest. "Wo h'c Stvotiino r'!'(ved fony-.id trui ip.'iji.MiJ a Li tin pr'.or. Then lie look'd upon ilie twain before him and directed them tu kneel. "No, no, no!" gasped tho fair countess, trembling for the first t:me. "I cunnot d that !" "Kneel!" hissed tho duko between his clinched teeth, r.nd as ho ppoke he grasped tho maiden moro firmly y the arm ana forced her down Sho uttered a quick cry of pain as sho felt tho unmerciful grip, but she could not resist tho strong arm of her persecutor. "Now go on!" the duko cried as he held the maiden down. "Go on, Savotano, and let tho busine.-s bo done as soon as possible. "Hold!" It was a voico of thunder whiel spoko thus, and it came from tho door. The duko started to his feet, and he beheld iliiric Novel, the gun maker, approaching tho spot. But tho youth came not alone. Behind him camo tho huge bulk of Vladi mir, tho monk, and moro still, back of the monk came the widow, Clau dia Nevcl, and tho boy, 1'uul, and then thero were, besides all this, n heavy tramp of feet in tho hall and tho clung of steel. "1 fold I Stop this accursed mock- cry!" Iturio shouted as ho strode up tho apartment. "Miserable dog!" gaRpcd the duke, mad snd frantic with rage. "How dure you como hither ?" "Look vo. riroud duke." tho monk i ' interposed, coming quickly forward ; 1 am at tho bottom of all this. I havo como to stop this foul work !" Rosalind had started to her feet when sho first heard Kurie's voice, and now, us tho monk spoke, a ray of hopo darted to her soul, and, with a quick bound, sho reached her lover's side. "Ituric, Ruric!" It was all she could say, and, with a flood of tears, she pillowed her head upon his bos om, and bis stout arms were wound fondly about her. J' car not, he whispered, "for. oh, Rosalind, thou art sufo now." The mad duko saw the movement, and, with a bitter curse, ho started toward them. "Now, by tho living gods," he shouted, with his fists clinched and hu eyes flushing lire, "you have como to vour dent hi What, ho. there! Without! SI aves, where arc yo?" In a moment moro the sido door was thrown open, and a dozen of tho duko's servants came rushing in. "Hal" Olga cried. "You aro in time. Seizo these dogs! Kill them on the spot if they offer ono act of resistance. At them now! lown with tho dogs!" "Hold!" It wail Vlndimir who spoke, and every arm dropped as tliey heard that voice. It whs dif ferent from the voice thev had heard tho fat monk use before. I Tho duko stin ted ns thoui'h a i thunderbolt hud burst at his feet. I "Who art thou?" ho rasped, stug Bering fart tier back "Olga, duke of Tula," tpoke the monk in tones which sounded strango for him, becauso they were so different from those lie had been wont to use, "I uni thy iiuudcr!" As ho spoko ho threw open tho long Muck robe which enveloped his person and enst it upon the floor tit nis feet, and thero it lav, a huso pilo of wadding and BtuHinrr! Tin vast rotundity of person was cone and the strange man now stood in his own fair form. I lis chin that prominent chin was no more hid den, and he was but a rauiill man not much larger than the bov Paul, who stood near him. Next he placet' ins nami i ins iiciul ami tore uwiiv the tight skullcap, and the ring of gruy hair came away with it, leaving cluster of e lossy hair llontin: down over the neck and shoulders! Great God of mercy," gnspod S.i Votano, staggering back, "it is the emperor!" "Aye," cried Tcter. turning his darkly flashing eve upon the stag gering duke, "1 ntu your emperor! i mil, go and cM the guard. Tho bov hastened from the pal ace, ami wnen no riiuriied rie was followed by a party of the Imperial guard. "Mercy, mercy, sire!" gasped the uuke, sinking down on his knees. Rut tho emperor answered him not. Ho only turned to his guard lantern, he had upset column nnd all, and just as he reached the pas sage, he heard a heavy fall, una ho knew that his enemy had stumbled over the fallen column. lie heard the curses, loud and deep, which dropped from the lips of the bullied man as he picked himself up. and in a moment more he was eddied by a conversation Mwetn the two, for villain No. 1 had revived, though the tone of his voice plainly indicat ed that ho had a severe pain 'l lingering with him. Michael, Michael !" erouned No. 1, and as ho spoko Ruric could hear him scrambling up on hi feet. J II, Uriel I ' returned -No. Havo you dropped him?"

"Ruric! Ruric!" "By tho living god--, that is not from any of our men!" uttered the second riuliun.- "J la, they aro con ing this way !" "Ruric! Ruric!1 "There i.3 but oao place," retum ed'Ori'.'l.

Have you found the entrance, MichncI i "No. It's near vou somewhere, Can't you Ha! fn.in!" At that moment the gtaro of a flaming torch flushed through the gloom of the place, and the two vil lains stood revealed. A dozen stout men, all well armed, appeared in the only passage by which they could i escape, for to have fed into the drawing room of which they had . . i.i ;i 41 i,: hj'OJVUU WUUIU II Villi IIU'JII JlWLIIlll. "Ho, villains!" shouted Vladimir, the monk, raising his flaming torch high above his head v.ith his left hand, while in his right ho waved a heavy sword. "Where is Ruric No vel?" Here, here!" cried our hero, starting forward into the larger room. "Whnt! Safe alive well V nt- tored Vladimir. Ave. my noblest of friends. But, oh, cast off this accursed bond from ruy arms. It cats into tho flesh." The rope was quickly tuK'cn on, nnd then the youth embraced his de liverer. No questions were asked there. Only a few sincere thanks were uttered, und then attention was turned to tho two villains, who yet stood trembling near them. They had not attempted an escape, for the way was blocked up. They were quickly secured, and then the party turned away from the place, and U3 they weut Ruric gave the monk an account of tho manner in which he had been entrapped and of tho events which had transpired 6i nee. "Merciful heavens!" ejaculated Vladimir as Ruric closed his ac count of the manner in which ho hod overcome tho two men who had thought to murder him. "It was a narrow escape. "But I might not havo escaped without your coming," the youth said, "for they would surely havo found mo. With my hands lashed behind mo as they wero 1 could not have escaped. "True, true," returned Vladimir thoughtfully. "It was a narrow chance. But it is over now." "And how gained you the knowl edge of my whereabouts?" asked Ruric. "I'll explain it to you when wo have lime. But did I understand you to say that tho humpbacked priest wiis there?" "Ho en me to my dungeon with the rest, and 'twas he that I knocked down. Have you not found him ?" "No; uc have seen nothing of him. We found two men in the hall, and that was nil." The place wns searched all through lor tho priest, but he could not be found, and when Vladimir wus assured that the arch villain had made his escape he prepared to leave tho building. Tho prisoners, four of them, were led out llrst and taken awov by the monk's followers. When Ruric reached the street, the stars were all out, and tho cool, frosty air struck gratefully upon hw brow, llo turned toward his myste rious companion, and under the grateful impulse of tho moment he stopped, lie raised bis hands to ward heaven, uttered one fervent sentence of thanksciung t. God and then nioted on i.aain. lO l.K COinXIiKli.1 YEARS Ptlrtr. m iti'i,T JHM-tTtuiri Invent l"h in nnti lti. itii trvj w hot Lor mi Invent l"h if pnitml-lT .ttMitnM rmiriMnifi- Tioim ntru't ly i'niitlcnttiU.
