Dismounting from his horse, a
white hairei veteran, before whom all
fell baek, with hasty fingers threw
open the threadbare coat of the pros
trate hero, and,listening for a moment
for the beating of his heart., cried
aloud in trembling tones-
" Great heaven ! After what he has
done for me do not let him die, Met-

Hastening across the Eublic path-
'' `wail of the civillifffiglik MVAr61n ?+e
was walking when tine message came
to him, Ivan Kavonski, seeking seclu-
sion, plunged aside into the network
of little forsaken alleys, that fringed
the more frequented portions, and,
alone with the trees and the emits,
y gave vent to the joy that was within
2: him. Smelling his iL.shod feet in the
• : leaves and durst, shouting stead euasee
f songs end imprecations against the
nobles, he careered unsteadily along,
giving himself up to the intoxication
that arose from the prospect of coming
revenge.
To kill this man -to obliterate only
-ot?e;k„ ie pppressor•s of the po ple-
to keep /the oath which he heti sworn
_en throw away his life in that which
he deemed was the cause of liberty !
•Ivan Kavonaki's head reeled at the
thought. They would kill him -he
knew that. Slashed, rut, torn limb
from limb by the infuriated people, his
body would fall bruised and bleeding,
only to be trempled upon and trodden
out of recognition beneath their feet.
But, bis purpose atteined,what matter
what happened after? To die like that
-it was for this he lived.
Suddenly he became ctimer.
Through an opening in the bush mov-
figures appeared. He had passed
right through the park to the Grand
Drive, whereon, at this hour of the
nfteernoon, all the wealthy and the fair
of tate great capital were riding. dnv-
iug or promenading ; and a dark'r
scowl settled upon Ivsn's features as,

Mechsnicslly, in his misery, he

belt whose pressure relieve' some of
the panes of hunger that gnawed
withinhim, and from his drawn lips
escaped a hissing thanksgiving-" To-
night, tonight' '
" Look out ! Clear the way ! Hi !
hi! hi!"
Ivan started. From far up the
drive came the yell of a thousand
throats, and, even as he clamored over
, the rails to get a nearer view, he saw
in the distance those who a moment
before had thronged the drive making
for the sides of the enclosure as if to
avoid some advancing peril.
" Hi ! hi ! Thop her, someone, stop
her !,'
Stop what ? Ivan took s step
farther, and then saw coming towards
him along the lane formed by the
flight of the others,• maddened, foam
flecked hone, that with eye -balls glar-
ing, mane flying, and reins trailing
behind carried at its galloping heels $
light, too wheeled carriage. Behind,
in hopele'ss pursuit, four horsemen

Ah ! The sight had not affected
Ivan. The animal and the carriage
belonged. perchance, to some noble.
Let them perish. But -what was
that? Her face upturned to the sky,
her long, her hair finning her cheeks,
from which fright had driven the
roses ---a little girl lay senseless upon
the oushinns of the osoillating vehicle,

Beside the sumptuous conch on
which, in et -range contrast to cover-
ing, lay the rag -clothed body of the
injured man, the Count Emile Sebti-
bsnscofi knelt, se a father might kneel
beside the beside of an ailing child.
"Live ? Save for his broken arm

whom the anxious question had been
put. "Such beings as he sre formed

"Pray Heaven it may be so !" sigh-
ed the Count, as with eager gsze be
watched for the return of conscious-
ness to the half-closed eyes.
His prayer was answered. An
hour afterwards Ivan Kavonski, re-
viving under the doctor's skillful at-
tention, sat up on his cushions and
heard this white-haired father, with
tears streaming down hid cheeks, pour
out bit thanks for the rescue of bis
ohild.
" And now, my brave benefactor,"
tmncluded the Count, " tell me what
can I do to repay you ? Anything that
is within my power to do you may ask
of me. Say, what shalt it bet"
Leaning beck listlessly upon the
pillows that bore him up,Ivan Kavon
ski, as he heard these promises, gave
himself ifp-fb'h delicious dream.

Even as he hesitated the Count

" From your appearance, my friend,
I should say you were not too amply
endowed with worldly goods. A little
money would not oome amiss to you!'
And reaching for $ pen, by the
Tight of the lamp the Count wrote
something upon paper, while Ivan lis-
tened, lulled . by the sweet soratohing
of the pen.
"At ten tomorrow my bankers
open. Take this to them."
It was dark in the corner where
stood the couch ; but, as he seised the
paper with trembling fingers-
' How much is it?" Whispered
Ivan.
" You can have more if you need

enable you to draw two thousand
roubles."
"Two -thousand --roubles !"
For a moment the astonished out-
cast lay motionless, stunned as when
the horses hoofs struck him by this
sadden happine.s that seemed to
crush him. What could he not do
now? With funds to take Sim to s
foreign olime,there his wife and child-
ren could join Sim ; there—

At once Michael Federov took up a
little leather beg and poured out upon
the table a number of small, round
connters,twelve of thew painted black
and one a White one.
Silently Michael took up this one
white disc,held it up for all to see and
replaced it with the others in the bag.
They understood. The mail who
drew that piece of whitened wood
was to be the Count's executioner.
Michael Federov shook up the bag,
then, opening its mouth to allow the
insertion of a hand, passed it around
to each. No one spoke ; there was
only a sound of heavy breath'n_', As
the bag came nearer to him great
beads of sweat started from Ivan
Kavonski's brow, Within his breast

Instinctively the others recoiled

he gasped.

Against the wall of a house, right
opposite „{,ate+ broad, carpet -covered
steps whereby the guests would enter
the Embassy, leant a short, wiry,
sharp-eyed man, who, while smoking
innumerable cigarettes. kept a brisk
look -out on all sides around him, care-
fully
arefully scrutinising each fresh addition
to the crowd.
it was Alphonse Lagan, the Prince
of Pick -pockets, who,, combining busi-
ness with pleasure, had come to see
the sight itself and to relieve other

" He is coming. Here .comes the
Count."
Heaving against the two lines of
sotdfere- that penned it in, the great
crowd raised itself of tiptoe in order
to catch the first glimpse of the ex-
pected carriage.
At that moment the pick -pocket,
wriggling like an eel between the
bodies of those around him,:worked
his way close to a man upon whom
for some time he had been keeping
watch.

Sim that was evidently of value.
When first Alphonse had caught sight
of him he was standing some little
distance off~ secretly arranging some-
thing in his jacket pocket, padding it
about with his handkerchief before he
mingled with the crowd ; and instant-
ly the pickpocket had resolved to se-
cure the treasure.
He wits behind his man. Spread-
ing oat his arms he skillfully reserved
a place for his operations.
The murmuring of the crowd grew
louder ; hats began to be waved ; the
murmur grew into a cheer, the cheer
into a continuous roar. Alphonse
Lassa crept closer -his eyes upon his
victim's face.
Ivan Kavonski-tor it was he --as
the cortege approached, raieed himself
to his fall height. His teeth chatter-
ed, but he clenched by jaws.

The Count, bowing to the right and
left, was before Mm.
Now -Ivan Kavonski nerved him-
self for the effort. He plunged his
hand into his pocket to seize the fatal
bomb, tat withent a pause the car-
riage swept by uninjured.
Only the Count's intended assassin
gave a low, startled cry, and almost
staggered into the arms of these
around him. The hand that should
have grasped that engine of destruc-
tion had closed upon itself. His
pocket. was empty.
Two minutes afterwards a terrible
explosion was heard, that made the
earth tremble and brought the glass
from the windows.
In a little side street, s hundred
yards away, Alphonse Lasso, the
pick -pocket inspecting his fearful
booty, had been blown to pieces.
Next day the papers told of a pro-
jected attempt to asssainate Count
8chnlianskoft that had been provi-
dentially frnstrated by the pre-
mature explosion of the bomb ; and

in Michael Federov's little root,

accrued to me as quiet and uneol eeriest
