CHAPTER I
MTV rllf nminrrv rOim ifv pnrnra no
sins
The speaker finished his re
inark with a short laugh He
was a big stout man His name was
Karl Steinmetz and it Is a name well
known in the government of Tver to
this day He spoke jerkily as stout
men do when they ride and when he
had laughed his good natured half
cynical laugh he closed his lips be
neath a huge gray mustache So far
as one could judge from the action of
a square and deeply indented chin his
mouth was expressive at that time
and possibly at nil times of a humor
ous resignation No reply was vouch
safed to him and Karl Steinmetz
horse which was stretched out at a
gallop
Evening was drawing on It was
late in October and a cold wind was
driving from the northwest across a
plain which for sheer dismalness of
aspect may give points to Sahara and
beat that abode of mental depression
without an effort
Steinmetz looked round over this
cheerless prospect with a twinkle of
amused resignation in his blue eyes
as if this creation were a little practi
cal joke which he Karl Steinmetz ap
preciated at its proper worth The
whole scene was suggestive of immense
distance of countless miles in all di
rections The land through which
these men were riding is the home of
great distances Russia They rode
moreover as if they knew it as if
iney naa nauen tor days and were
aware of more days in front of them
The companion of Karl Steinmetz
looked like an Englishman He was
young and fair and quiet He looked
like a youthful athlete from Oxford
or Cambridge
This young mans name was Paul
Howard Alexis and fortune had made
him a Russian prince If however
any one even Steinmetz called him
prince he blushed and became con
fused This terrible title had brooded
over him while at Eton and Cambridge
But no one had found him out He re
mained Taul Howard Alexis so far as
England and his friends were concern
ed In Russia however he was known
by name only for he avoided Slavon
ic society as Prince Pavlo Alexis
This plain was his Half the govern
ment of Tver was his The great Vol
ga rolled through his possessious Six
ty miles behind him a grim stone cas
tle bore his name and a vast tract of
laud was peopled by humble minded
persons who cringed at the mention of
his excellency
All this because thirty years earlier
a certain Princess Natasha Alexis had
fallen in love with plain Mr Howard
of the British embassy in St Peters
burg With Slavonic enthusiasm for
the Russian is the most romantic race
on earth she informed Mr Howard of
the fact and duly married him Both
these persons were now dead and
Paul Howard Alexis owed It to his
mothers influence in high regions that
the responsibilities of princedom were
his but he entirely failed to recognize
the enviability of his position as he
rode across the plains of Tver toward
the yellow Volga by the side of Karl
Steinmetz
This is great nonsense he said
suddenly I feel like a nihilist or
some theatrical person of that sort I
do not think it can be necessary Stein
metz
Not necessary answered Steinmetz
in thick guttural tones but prudent
This man spoke with the soft con
sonants of a German
Prudent my dear prince
Oh drop that
Vhen we sight the Volga I will
drop it with pleasure Good heavens
I wish I were a prince I should have
It marked on my linen and sit up in
bed to read It on my nightshirt
No you wouldnt Steinmetz an
swered Alexis with a vexed laugh I
You would hate it just as much as I
do especially if It meant running away
from the best bear shooting in Eu
rope
Steinmetz shrugged his shoulders
Then you should not have been
charitable Charity I tell you Alexis
covers no sins In this country
Who made me charitable Besides
no decent minded fellow could be any
thing else here Who told me of the
League of Charity I should like to
know Who put me Into it Who
aroused my pity for these poor beg
gars Who but a stout German cynic
called Steinmetz
Stout yes cynic If you will Ger
man no
The words were jerked out of him
by the galloping horse
Then what are you
Steinmetz looked straight in front of
him with a meditation In his quiet
eyes which made a dreamy man of
him
That depends
Alexis laughed
Yes I know In Germany you are a
German In Russia a Slav In Poland a
Pole and in England anything the mo
ment suggests
Exactly so But to return to you
You must trust to me in this matter I
know this country I know what this
League of Charity was It was a big-

ger thing than any dream of It was a
power in Russia the greatest of ail
above nihilism above the emperor
himself Ach Gott It was a wonder
ful organization spreading over this
country like sunlight over a field It
would have made men of our poor
peasants It was Gods work if there
is a God which some young men deny
because God fails to recognize their
importance I Imagine And now it Is
all done It is crumbled up by the
scurrilous trenchery of some miscre
ant Ach I should like to have him
out here on the plain I would choke
him For money too The devil It
must have been the devil to sell that
secret to the government
I cant see what tho government
ted it for growled Alexis mood
bumped along on his little Cossack
No but I can It Is not the emper
or He is a gentleman although he has
the misfortune to wear the purple No
it is those about him They want to
stop education they want to crush the
peasant They are afraid of being
found out The live in their grand
houses and support their grand names
on the money they crush out of the
starving peasant
So do I so far as that goes
Of course j ou do And I am your
steward your crusher We do not den
it we boast of it but we exchange
wink with the angels eh
Alexis roue in silence tor a lew mo
ments
I wish he said abruptly that I
had never attempted to do any good
Doing good to mankind doesnt pay
Here I am running away from my own
home as If I were afraid of the police
The position Is impossible
Steinmetz shook his shaggy head
No No position is impossible in
this country except the czars If one
only keeps cool For men such as you
and I any position is quite easy But
j these Russians are too romantic they
give way to a morbid love of martyr
dom they think they can do no good
to mankind unless they are uncom
fortable
Alexis turned iu his saddle and look
ed keenly into his companions face
Do you know he said I believe
you founded the Charity league
Steinmetz laughed in his easy stout
way
It founded itself he said The
angels founded it in heaven I hope
a committee of them will attend to
the eternal misery of the dog who be
trayed it
I trust they will but in the mean
time I stick to my opinion that it is
unnecessary for me to leave the country-
What have I done I do not be
long to the league It is composed en
tirely of Russian nobles I dont ad
mit that I am a Russian noble
But persisted Steinmetz quietly
you subscribe to the league Four
hundred thousand rubles they do not
grow at the roadside
But the rubles have not my name
on them
That may be but we all they all
know where they are likely to come
from My dear Paul you cannot keep
up the farce any longer You are not

It dragged its dead master along the
ground
an English gentleman who comes
across here for sporting purposes You
do not live in the old castle of Osterno
three months in the year because you
have a taste for mediaeval fortresses
You are a Russian prince and your
estates are the happiest the most en
lightened in the empire That alone is
suspicious You collect your rents
yourself You have no German agents
no German vampires about you
There are a thousand things suspi
cious about Prince Pavlo Alexis if
those that be in high places only come
to think about it They have not come
to think about it thanks to our care
and to your English Independence ldt
that Is only another reason why we
should redouble our care You must
not be in Russia when the Charity
league Is picked to pieces There will
be trouble Half the nobility In Rus
sia will be in It There will be con
fiscations and degradations There will
be Imprisonment and Siberia for some
You are better out of It for you are
not an Englishman You have not even
a foreign oilice passport Your pass
port is your patent of nobility and that
is Russian No you are better out
of it
And you what about you asked
Paul with it little laugh the laugh
that one brave man gives when he sees
another do a plucky thing
I Oh I am all right I am no
body I am hated of all the peasants
because I am your steward and so
hard so cruel That is my certiticate
of harmlessness with those that are
about the emperor
Then you turn back at Tver in
quired Paul at length breaking a long
silence
YesI must not leave Osterno just
now Perhaps later when the winter
has come I v Ill follow Russia is
quiet during the winter very quiet
Ha ha
He shrugged his shoulders and shiv
ered But the shiver was interrupted
He raised himself in his saddle and
peered forward Into the gathering
darkness
What is that he asked sharply on
the read in front
Paul had already seen it
It looks like a horse he answered
a strayed horse for It has no rider
They were going west and what lit
tle daylight there was lived on the
western horizon The form of the
horse cut out in black relief against
the was weird and ghostlike It
was standing by the side of the road
apparently grazing As they approach
ed it its outlines became more defined
It has a saddle said Stejnmetz at
length What have we here
The beast was evidently famishing
for as they came near It never ceased
its occupation of dragging the wizened
tufts of grass up root and all
What have we here repeated
Steinmetz
And the two men clapped spurs to
their tired horses
The solitary waif had a rider but he
was not in the saddle One foot was
caught in the stirrup and as the horse
moved on from tuft to tuft it dragged
its dead master along the ground
r b

CHAPTER II
niS is going to be unpleasant
muttered Steinmetz as he
cumbrously left the saddle
That man is dead has been
dead some days hes stiff And the
horse has been dragging him face
downward God in heaven this will
be unpleasant
Paul had leaped to the ground and
was already loosening the dead mans
foot from the stirrup He did it with a
certain sort of skill despite the stiff
ness of the heavy riding boot as if he
had walked a hospital in his time
Very quickly Steinmetz came to his
assistance tenderly lifting the dead
man and laying him on his back
Ach he exclaimed We are unfor
tunate to meet a thing like this
There was no need of Paul Alexis
medical skill to tell that this man was
dead a child would have known it
Before searching the pockets Stein
metz took out his own handkerchief
and laid it over a face which had be
come unrecognizable
Paul was unbuttoning the dead
mans clothes He inserted his hand
within the rough shirt
This man he said was starving
He probably fainted from sheer ex
haustion and rolled out of the saddle
It is hunger that killed him
With his pocket full of money
added Steinmetz withdrawing his
hand from the dead mans pocket and
displaying a bundle of notes and some
silver
There was nothing in any of the oth
er pockets no paper no clew of any
sort to the mans identity
The two finders of this silent tragedy
stood up and looked around them It
was almost dark They were ten miles
from a habitation
Steinmetz had pushed his fur cap to
the back of his head which he was
scratching pensively He had a habit
of scratching his forehead with one
finger which denoted thought
Now what are we to do he mut
tered Cant bury the poor chap and
say nothing about it I wonder where
his passport Is We have here a trage
dy
Paul was still examining the dead
man with that callousness which de
notes one who for love or convenience
has become a doctor He was a doctor
an amateur He was a graduate of an
English medical school
Steinmetz looked down at him with
a little laugh He noticed the tender
ness of the touch the deft fingering
which had something of respect in ir
Paul Alexis was visibly one of those
men who take mankind seriously and
have that in their hearts which for
want of a better word we call svmpa
thy
Mind you do not catch some infec
tious disease said Steinmetz gruffly
I should not care to handle any stray
moujik one finds dead about the road
side unless of course you think there
is more money about him It would be
a pity to leave that for the police
Paul did not answer He was exam
ining the limp dirty hands of the dead
man The fingers were covered with
soil the nails were broken He had ev
idently clutched at the earth and at
every tuft of grass after his fall from
the saddle
Look here at these hands said
Paul suddenly This Is an English
man You never see fingers this shape
in Russia
Steinmetz stooped down He held
out his own square tipped fingers In
comparison Paul rubbed the dead
hand with his sleeve as if it were a
piece of statuary
Look here he continued the dirt
rubs off and leaves the hand quite a
gentlemanly color This he paused
and lifted Steinmetzs handkerchief
dropping it again hurriedly over the
mutilated face this thing was once a
gentleman
It certainly has seen better days
