CHAPTER XVII. Continued.
"Very well," said the courier, "re
spect his wishes until ho awakes. 1
will seo him myself beforo 1 go. Alexis
PctrofTsky," ho added, as ho entered
tho name In hla book. "It will be my
duty to lay his noble conduct beforo
tho authorities with a view of getting
him a pardon." He paused a moment
nnd then sharply asked: "Why was
ho gagged when I arrived"
"He had boen vilifying our lmperlnl
master tho czar," said Katuorino.
"And cursing our holy church,"
added Nicholas.
A 6hude of disappointment passed
over the face of tho courier. '.'I am
sorry to hear it," ho said.
Then ho was silent and thoughtful
for a moment.
"Seo thnt I have fresh horses ready
by daybrcnk," at length ho said, "and
that ray rest Is undisturbed."
"You go hence to " saldKath-
orlno waiting for the courier to com
plole tho sentence.
"I go hence to Stralensk," replied
the courier, "whoro 1 am to deliver
a pardon to a young girl who hns
proved herself a heroine, having been
the only nurse who wns avallnblo dur
ing a terrible outbreak of fever. Her
pardon has been granted at the re
ouest of tho governor of tho prov
ince, who petitioned for It on the
ground that tho young girl's unselfish
dovotlon nnd unfailing exertion was
undoubtedly the means of saving
scores of lives. More than that, sho
apponled to tho convicts nnd prevent
ed n dangerous uprising when the
guards wero stricken down. All Rus-'
sia Is ringing with the story of her
good dQcds."
"Ah," said Kathorlne, "and may I
ask the name of this heroine. Doubt
loss Bho is celebrated, but wo hear so
llttlo of tbe world's news In this out-of-tho-way
place."
"Certainly," nnswered the courier,
"her namo is Ilda Harosky!"
"Ilda Barosky!"
Tho namo was uttered together by
Constantino Karischoff and his wife
and son. It was spoken with such a
bitterness of surprise such a tono of
incredulous wonder that tho courier
could not help giving expression to his
curiosity.
"Do you know her?" he asked.
"Know her," replied Kathorlne, "I
do know lior. A vllo Nihilist, a aaugn
ter of the gutter of St. Petersburg an
assassin, a roptlle I do know her,
nnd I shall protest against her pardon,
oven to tho czar. I have some claims
yet on his majesty. Ho cannot afford
to forget what has been dono for tho
Ilusslan crown by tho ancestors of
Kathcrlno Karslchoffl"
"Katborlno Karslcheff! Are you
this theu is you aro General Karsl
cheff?" It had been the first time tho namo
was spoken in tho presenco of tho
courier, and ho repeated It with
scarcely less surpriso In his tones
thnn tho three persons beforo hlra
had tho namo of Ilda Barosky a mo
mont beforo.
What caused his surprise!
That was what tho Karsichoffs
wanted to know.
Their anxiety was Interrupted by
tho marked change In tho courier's
manner. It had been polite before
whon ho spoke. Now thero wns In his
voice an unpleasaut rlng.whlch boded
no good.
"So!"
The courier paused a moment,
IS IT IY7SD S TO SCSFH?.'"
thoughtfully, and then, ns if he had
tnado up his mind, be produced a
largo official envelope. Handing this
:o Karslcheff, ho said: "You will for
ward these papers immediately to-morrow
morning by a trusted messenger
on whom you can rely to tho isprav
nlk at Chltka. You must lose no tlmo
and uso relays of horses where neces
eary. Sign a receipt for tho pardons!"
"Pardons?"
"Yes. This envelope contains par
dons for two politicals, Alexis Nazi-
molt and Ivan Barosky. Strange," ho
paused as the similarity of tho namo
struck mm. "uan no ue any relation
to tho girl for whom I havo tho pardon
at Stralensk? no matter! Theso pa
pers," he continued, addressing Karsl
cheff, "havo boen forwarded by special
relay from tho frontier, and are to bo
dollvered at the earliest moment. You
will bo held responsible for any de
lays. You will sign tho receipt."
Kathcrlno and Nicholas exchanged
glances.
Karslcheff signed tho panw tho re
ceipt for the pardons.
"Call me at daybreak," said tho
courier; "and now where Is my apartment?"
Kntherlne, Coustnntino and Nicho
las, with ono simultaneous step
moved toward a door adjoining that
In which Cobb and his wlfo and her
companion had entered.
The courier paused thoughtfully.
"On second thought," he said, "I
will not retlro Just yet. Tho storm
hns censed, and the moon 1b about to
rise. I will take n turn or two and
smoke n olgar before alt, the bravo
American!"
It wuh the appearance of Cobb nt
tho door leading from his room that
caused the courier's exclamation. Go
ing forward with outstretched band,
tho courier greeted him warmly und
expressed n hope that ho had suf
icrcd no lasting 111 efforts front his
terrible experience with tho wolves.
Cobb warmly returned the greeting
nnd begged to know tho nnmc of the
man to whom, lib ho said, "I owe my
life, tho llfo of my wife, and that of
of her companion," and at the same
tlrae ho presented a card bearing his
own name.
Having Informed him of hia namo
and rank, tho courior snld, after
glancing at the enrd, "It is evident,
general, that wo aro two old soldiers,
though not now in actlvo service. I
wns just going to smoko a cigar, but
It would bo doubly pleasant If I hnd
company your company, I mean!"
"Nothing will glvo me greater
pleasure. My wife, tho parancss, und
her companion, nre sound nsleep, and
I was anxious to seo you and express
my gratltudo for your noblo conduct!"
"Cbmo along then," said tho courier,
"wo will wulk up and down for nn
hour. Thnt will quiet our nerves and
this" handing Cobb a cigar "will
do tho rest."
So saying, the courier and Cobb left
tho room.
The moment tho door closed, Kath
orlne, Nicholns and Karslcheff re
mained silent, and then, as if by a
common impulse, thoy came close to
gether as If for mutual protection.
Thoy felt they know that they
wero on the verge of an abyss. What
did Cobb's presence mean? What
would he and the courier say to each
other?
And then tho astounding discovery
that they had made!
A pardon for Ilda Barosky!
Pardons for Alexis and Ivan.
"Glvo mo tho paper." at length said
Kathcrlno to her husband.
Ho hnnded her tho document given
him by tho courier.
"Theso papers," said Kathorlne,
"will never roach their destination
or if they do It will bo when pardons
will bo more necessary for them"
and sho pointed to tho stockade "In
another world than this."
"What do you mean," asked Karsl
cheff breathlessly, as his wife placed
the envelope in her boaom.
"Thnt Alexis Nazlmoff and Ivan
Barosky shall never leave this place
alive."
"You would not dare "
"Anything," exclaimed Katherine,
"rather than that they should ltvo to
triumph over mc rather death than
that Alexis Nazlmoff should rejoin
Ilda Barosky, and Ivan clnlm my
daughter as his wife."
"Ilda Barosky! She too will be
free!" said Nicholas.
Kathcrlno lowered her voice. "If
tho courier curses on him should
reach Stralensk with her pardon."
"And he will If ho leaves here," said
Knrslchoff.
"Ho must not leave hero at all."
The three looked at each other.
Thero was no sign of quailing on tho
part of mother ot son. Karslcheff
was paler than usual, and was visibly
ngltntcd.
Tho voices wero lowered until they
were scarcely audible, and for fifteen
minutes there was no sound savo the
murmur of their suppressed conversa
tion as they completed tuo details of
their plot.
For they had conceived a plan a
plnn born ot the evil genius of Kath
crlno Knrslcheff.
They had finished their talk when
tho door opened at tho head of tho
stairway, and with pale and agonized
faco Olga appeared, and gliding down
silently as n shadow, suddenly ap
peared beforo them. With her hands
outstretched nnd with tears streaming
from her eyes she appealed to them.
"Oh, my mother father Nicholas,
what aro you about to do? Your faces
terrify mo! You aro rfolng to commit
somo great crime oh, God! not not
murder? For God's sake, stop beforo
you bathe ycur hands in blood. Do
not do not bring eternal sorrow on
us nil. Oh, my mother dear moth
er" This far they had been so startled
by Olga's unexpected nppearancc that
nono of them had Interrupted her.
But now Kntherlne, utterly lost to
all maternal feeling, sprang on the
unhappy girl, and glaring at her with
devilish malignity, hissed into her
ears: "Yes yes your husband it is
he who Is to suffer. Back to your
room nnd wear out your soul In an
guish, for ho is to die!"
Nicholas took his sister by the arm.
Sho gavo ono nppoallng look, and
then as they bogan to forco her back
to her room sho uttered a piercing
shriek that was heard even by the
prisoners In tho kamoras. Quickly
Nicholas lifted her In hla arms nnd
boro her from tho room.
As he did so Katherine fell back!
"Say thnt It wa3 my cry," sho said
to her husband.
Tho door opened and Cobb and- tho
courier quickly onterod.
"What was that?"
"Ivik thero." replied Karslcheff,
)H)lnting to tho prostrate form of Kath.
etlno. "Sho was ovorcomo by tbe ex
rlterront of the night nnd became hys
terical." Katherluo apparently bogan to re
vlo nnd opened her -eyes. "Whero
am I?" she asked in tho voice ot one
just recovering consciousness.
Cobb turned his head away nnd
Bmllcd. Tho query recalled a Joke
he had heard somo years before.
Karslcheff raised Katherlno to a sit
ting position, and then gavo a sug
gostlvo look to Cobb nnd tho courier.
Rightly construing it as a request
to withdraw they went back to tbe
open air to finish their cigars.
The courier nnd Cobb had scarcely
withdrawn from tho room whon tho
Russian turned to his companion and
said; "Do you believe that tho cry
we heard was uttered by that wom
an?" "No! I'll bo It I do," was th
emphatic reply of Cobb.
Heretofore their conversation hua
been ot n general character.
They had discussed their mllltnr
at
"Cav 7Z03T yoc rozLy
services, their travels, the dangers ol
the wolves, nnd other matters. But
tho pointed Inquiry brought them oa
n common ground regarding tho Karal
cheffs. "Why," asked tho courier, "do yon
not believe that story?"
"Cnn I trust you fully and freely?"
asked Cobb.
The courier extended his hand. The
action wns enough. A thousand oaths
could not have mado the promise
more binding. Cobb in a few words
told the courier nil that he know ot
the KnrsicheffH. Ho told of tho lives
ol Ilda and Alexis and of Olga and
Ivan, of the raid on tho Nihilist ren
dezvous, tho nrreBts and the circum
stances under which they took place,
ending with tho scene whero Karsl
cheff sentenced the prisoners.
The courier listened with Intense in
terest. When ho heard that Ivan and
Alexis the very men for whom he
had given tho pardons to their blttpr
est enemy wero the heroes of Cobb's
story, his amazement knew no bounds.
His sympathies for tho unhappy Olga
were keenly aroused. Suddenly "no
had n revelation.
"And that cry was?" he paused.
"Tho cry of Olga!"
"My God! tho poor, poor girl," said
the courier.
Cobb said nothing. He kept think
ing. Olga and the baroness under one
roof. The bnroness would never leave
until she had made an effort to rescuo
the unhnppy girl.
Suddenly tho courier turned to
Cobb. "You have trusted me freely,"
ho snld, "and In return I will trust
you."
Then to Cobb's profound amazement
he told him of tho pardons granted to
Ilda, Alexis rind Ivan. Ilda, ho ex
plained, was at Stralensk, whero he
was going under orders to deliver her
pardon in person. And Ivan and
Alexis were at Chltka. to which point
the pardons were to be forwarded by
Karslcheff.

stituents. Jttdgo Charles W. Thomas of
Belleville, 111., to tho marblo room re
cently, whero tho two wero joined by
Senators Dolllver, Hopkins and Cul

ver, "reminds me vory forcibly of a
visit I mado to Belleville not many
months ago. I was the guest of Judge
Thomas, nnd passed the night in his
fine old colonial mansion. After sev
eral hours of very refreshing sleep I
attired myself and descended, filled
with thoughts of tho splendid enter
'.alnment given mo. All at once there
was a hoarse voice from an adjoining
room, which said, in a contemptible
tone:
"Where tho dickens did you come
from?'
"I folt rather cheap at being spoken
to in such a way, and was looking
about for the person who had thus
addressed me. It didn't take long to

CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's one way to get It.

and other ails get them straight from

"I had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-fivo years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what I suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week I
would havo to remain in bed, at other
times I couldn't He down the pain
would be so great. My life wns a tor

a day I always came back moro dead
than alive.
"One day I was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused it
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
"That's how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that timo
I've never been without it for it suits
my taste nnd has entirely cured all
f my old troubles. All I did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
wellmado Postum in its place. This
change has done mo more good than
everything else put together.
"Our house was like a drug store
for my husband bought everything he
heard of to help mo without doing any
good, but when I began on tho Pos

other troubles quickly disappeared. 1
have a friend who had an experience
