CHAPTER XIV. Continued.
Among tho last to emerge were
Alexia and Ivan Ilda, with tho wom
en, hnd gone before.
In going to tho van In which they
wero to bo convoyed to tho railway
station to begin their long Journey to
the mines of Siberia, Ivan and Alexis
passed tho conveyance whoro Ilda sat
in company with two other women.
They had not seen oach other sinco
they had been taken from tho office
of tho minister of police, when Ivan,
torn by tho soldiers from tho arms of
Olga, felt, as he received a last fare
well embrace, tho hapless girl faint lu
his arms.
"Alexis!"
Hearing tho voice, Alexis stopped,
and with him Ivan, for they wero
ironed together.
"Ilda!"
Both spoke at once.
But tho ono word was tho last.
A Cossack guard" had overheard
them, and with n rough "Prlkazano no
gavarlt" (talking Is forbidden), ho
pushed them forward with tho butt
of his rifle and hustled them into tho
van with scant ceremony.
Tho cortege started, and In less
than half an hour tho prisoners had
been transferred to tho long train of
convict cars, tho whistle sounded, tho
train moved, and tho dreary Journey
of the exiles to Siberia had begun.
As the train rolled along, Ivan and
Alexis found for tho first timo an op
portunity of exchanging confidences.
They had been placed in separato
colls In tho prison, and know nothing
of what had transpired during tho
time of their confinement. Of their
destination they wero both ignorant,
beyond tho fact that they wero bound
for Siberia. They found somo conso
lation, however, in being together, and
each tried to comfort the other by
expressing a hope that when the truth
was known their punishment would
not be so severe. One fear, however,
possessed them both that on their
arrival in Siberia they would bo sep
arated and unable to communicate
with each other.
It is a long Journey at best from
St Petersburg to Saratov; but in a
crowded convict car, with no conven
iences, with a hot, stifling atmosphere,
and in the company of somo of the
worst characters In Russia for with
refined cruelty tho political exiles
wero compelled to associate with
malefactors of all kinds It was, as
Alexis afterward described it, a hor
riblo nightmare while awake.
Up to their arrival in Saratov, Ivan
and Alexis had been allowed to wear
the ordinary dress, although Alexis,
immediately after his arrival in tho
Petropavlosk prison, had been com
pelled to give up his uniform and
don the garb of a civilian. Now, how
ever, they had arrived at the depot
for thoso destined for Siberia, and
they were soon made awaro that
henceforth they would live under
changed conditions.
Two or three days after their ar
rival at Saratov, a rumor spread
among tho prisoners that tho convoy
for Siberia was, about to start on tho
following morning, and this proved to
bo true, for tho order was Issued to
prepare to march. As a preliminary
tho convicts wero divided into two
classes the politicals and tho crim
inalsother than thoso convicted of
offenses of a political nature. Of tho
first there were two classes tho sylnl
or simple exiles, whose offenses were
designated under tho general term of
"untrustworthlness" and the hard
labor class, who were convicted of
some overt act against tho peace and
dignity of the czar. Somo of tho pris
oners were taken to tho barber shop,
whero one side of tho head was
shaved bare; and tho hair an tho
other side being allowed to romaln,
they presented, when their caps wero
removed, a pitifully grotesque appear
ance. To the strong leather belt
which confined their greatcoats at
tho waist wero attached two chains
which reached to the ankles, whero
they wero riveted to the ankle irons.
Alexis and Ivan were fortunate in
being exempted from tho degradation
of having their hair cut in th'o man
ner "described, but in all other re
spects they were treated as iSq other
convicts. They tried to gain Informa
tion from the guards as to Ilda, but
it was without avail, and they were
left in uncertainty as to her fate. But
th'ey were not long In suspense.
Early on tho following morning a
bugle sound rang through the prison,
and a few minutes later all wero act
ive. Orders vvero Issued in quick,
eharp tones to tho prisoners to be
jcady to march, and after a hasty
P "
breakfast of the regulation fare
black bread and barley soup tho
prisoners wero drawn up in lino In
tho courtyard. A list of their names
wero called, their Irons examined,
each prisoner shouldered his canvas
bag and then, led by a detachment of
soldiers and guarded on both slde3
and the rear, tho column of "unfortu
nates" tho general term for exiles in
Russia was ordered to innrch. Tho
outer gates opened and tho prisoners
wero on their way to the lauding
place, whero a" steamer was In waiting
to carry them up tho Volga to Kasan.
Among tho three hundred and odd
prisoners there wero somo thirty-flvo
women somo of them being tho wives
of exiles, who elected to share their
husbnnd's fate; somo who wero being
deported for political activity, and
others who had been guilty of crime.
As tho column started, Alexis und
Ivan, who had managed to still bo to
gether a favor granted to them by
reason of a trifling bribo to ono of
tho gunrds recognized Ilda In her
dress of an exile. That Ilda also rec
ognized them they wero sure, although
she made no sign, fearing to betray
a desire to got nearer to them n
movement that would have been pre
vented becauso desired.
But when they reached tho steamer
they were rowardod for their self-de-
nlal, and for the first tlmo since they
had been separated at tho doors of
tho prison in St. Petersburg they
found nn opportunity to converse free
ly. This gave them a chance to agreo
upon a cypher mode of communica
tion w'hlch they felt would provo use
ful In tho probable event of their early
separation.
Alexis was by far tho most cheer
ful of the tliree, and did all in his
power to comfort his companions. "I
feel sure," he said, "that my father
when ho discovers tho true facts will
relent nnd that our pardons aro only
a question of time. But I have a
stronger ground for hope. I do not
believe that Gen. Cobb will desert me,
and I feel suro that ovon now ho Is
at work on our behalf. Keep up a
bravo heart, dear Ilda, and bo assured
that happiness Is yet In store for us
all."
Tho steamer with Its load of human
freight went on up the broad Volga
until Kasan was reached. Hero a
short delay occurred, but In a few
hours tho exiles wero transferred to
another steamer, their destination bo
Ing Perm, on the River Kama. They
were now rapidly approaching tho Si
berian frontier. On their nrrlval at
Perm, they wero marched to a train
of cars in waiting, and without fur
ther delay were forwarded on their
Journey.
At tho end of the railway line the
prisoners wero disembarked and tak
en to the receiving prison, whero they
were to rest a few days before bo
ginning their long march of weeks,
perhaps months, to the mines of Sibe
ria. It was while at this place that
Alexis, Ilda and Ivan learned of their
destination. Ivan and Alexis wero to
go to Chltka, tho capital of tho prov
ince of tho Trans-Baikal,, a place on
thd bank of the Ingoda river, one of
tho tributaries of tho Amoor. Ilda
learned that at this point she would
bo separated from her companions.
Sho was to go some two hundred
miles further to Stralensk.
Wo may pass over tho long and
dreary march of the exiles for-weeks
nnd months In their Journey over tho
great highway of Siberia. It is a
painful story a story full of tears.
The scanty food, the foul air of the
kamaras or prison pens, tho long
marches on foot day by day theso
need not further be referred to. Suf
fice It to say that the Journey was ac
complished at last, and tho exlleB
wero at their destination.
By great good fortune tho com
mandant of the district where Ivan
and Alexis found themselves was an
old soldier who had served under
Count Nazlmoff In tho Turkish war,
and he felt pity for tho son of his old
commander. Alexis was allowed many
privileges not accorded to ordinary
convicts, and tho horrors of exile
were, by his intercession, also soft
ened for Ivan. Ilda, they heard, hadt
been assigned to duty by tho governor
at Stralensk as a nurse, and sho had
also an opportunity to earn something
boyond the scanty government allow
ance by teaching tho governor's chil
dren. Ilda had been but a short tlmo In
Stralensk when an opportunity was
afforded her for materially Improving
her condition. A violent epldomlc of
typhus fever had broken out, not only
among tho convicts, but among tho
officials themselves. With a noblo
disregard of her own Bafety, Ilda ex
posed herself to every risk, and to her
watchful caro and skillful nursing was
duo the saving of the lives of the
governor's wife and children. Tho
gratitude of the governor's wife knew
no bounds, and It was at her sugges
tion that Ilda was given quarters, In
stead of being confined In tho wom
en's department of tho prison, In the
governor's house. Sho had been hero
now two months, and was regarded
with feelings of grateful esteem by
all classs prisoners and officials
alike. Stralensk is on tho main road
to tho mines of Nertchensk, and
since tho arrival of Ilda several con
voys of prisoners had passed through
tho place on route to tho destination
at tho mines. As tho long columns of
unfortunates wound tholr weary way
along the valley of the Nortcha, Ilda
had many opportunities to perform
llttlo acts of kindness to suffering
prisoners. It was while binding the
bruised foot of a poor woman who
ha4 Buffered terribly on tho march1,
that Ilda was startled by tho sufferer
asking If sho know any prlsonor1
nnmed Ilda Bnrosky.
Ilda's heart beat fast. Sho had not
honrfl from Alexis or Ivan Blnce she'
was separated from them to continue
hor Journey, nnd whllo sho knew
that thoy had been stopped at Chltka,
sho bolloved that they had only been
haltod there, preparatory to bolng sont
further Into tho Interior, perhaps to
tho dreaded mines of Karc. Ilda re
vealed her namo to tho Btranger, who
produced a paper. It proved to bo but
a slnglo work "Nadeshda" (Hope), but
it was as a very messago of futuro
hanplness for tho girl, for sho recog
nized tho hand of Alexis. Sho learned
that tho scrap of paper had been
hnnded to tho woman at a point somo
threo hundred miles awny, whero a
survey was being mado for a now
road, and by further questioning
found out that Aloxls and Ivan had
boon given employment in that way
so far as the woman could describe
tho man who had given her tho scrap
ot paper, und who had but a moment
to -ask hor to deliver It to Ilda Baro
sky, If thoy should moot.
.Thus the months passed away tho
exiles waiting, watching, wjth anxious
hearts for a word of hope from thoso
nearest and denrest to them. In SI
Lcrla, they know that thoy could not
ovon, If, they so desired, hopo to re
main as thoy willed for any length of
time In tho place In which thoy were.
Tho whim of an olllccr lu authority;
tho command of an (ispravnlk the
sub-governor or mayor of tho smaller
towns; a draft for more laborers for
tho mines any of theso causes might
compel them to change their resldenco
nt a moment's notice, and go to a
point, hundreds, if not thousands, of
miles distant. Henco our friends wero
kept in a constant state of fear and
suspense, lest at any moment an or
der might lssuo which would place
them further apart perhaps never to
meet again.
It must not bo supposed that Alexis
nnd Ivan had calmly reconciled them
selves to their fate, and had passively
accepted tho mlsfortuno that It had
been their lot to endure. Tho thoughts
by day and tlm dreams by night of
exiles of Siberia aro of escape, and
Ivan nnd Aloxls wero no exceptions to
tho rule. They had discussed many
plans, but ono after anothor had been
dismissed as Impracticable. For It was
not alone for themselves that thoy
planned. They had determined never
to leave Siberia without Ilda and tho
hapless Olga.
In spite of every effort, no word of
the fate of Olga had reached them,
and Ivan was In nn agony of approhen
sion regarding her. But one thought
consoled him. Ho know that tho Ba
roness von Rhlnobcrg would do every
thing In her power to mitigate the
sufferings of tho unhappy girl, and he
knew, too, that ho would certainly
hear somo nows as soon as any Infor
mation of his location could reach tho
baroness If It ever did.

Last of a Noted Gallows.
Tho woodeu gallows In the Jail yard
has been torn down to make room for
a modern steel structure. By way ot
a grim Joko tho sheriff's office spread
tho report that Deputy Sheriff Love
Intended to take the framo of tho von
erablo instrument of death to his
homo and build a chicken houso out
of It, on tho theory that no negro, no
matter how ardent a lover of chick
en meat, would daro to rob such a
hen roost. ,
As a matter of fact, tho old gnllowa
Is to bo split into kindling wood for
uso in the furnoco of tho court house.
This morning a negro man who has
seen years of service as an attache of
tho sheriff's office, was engaged in pil
ing up the weather beaten lumber un
der tho steps ot tho portico on the
north side of tho court house. Tho
steps, intact, lay stretched on tho
ground.
"Many a roan has taken his last
walk up thoso stairs," said a bystand

ored man. "I liavo seen twelvo of
them go that way Hawos aud Byars

others. Makes mo feel kind o creepy
to handlo this stuff, but I guess it will
