"Pm afraid they will," rat -limed Ludowitz, speaking very quickly, and like a man who isused to emergencies. "There have half a dozen officers come down in the yacht, and half the soldiers in town will be on the search before noon." "But they do not know that I came in your vessel!" "Yes, I think they do.

"I will not ask you to risk me he said with much emoti not reject your offer.

Malsman pulled out the clot es that were wanted, and poor enough th y were, but they anewered every purposcj Ruric was somewhat nervous, for tilte situation was one entirely new to him, that of flee- ing from Russian soldiers, yet he was cool in his purpose. And ere any minutes both he and his companion we e arrayed as the poor peasants of the Luga.- ndals, shirts, caps, and all; and by the ti e they- were dressed, Millman had procuee the baskets. "Now," said Ludowitz, "w are almost ready. Take off that ring, an then brown your face and hands with this di t -so -that's it These short swords we co ceal beneath our shirts, and also our pistols. We may need them. Now shoulder your bas tet -don't be awkward and don't appear in a hurry. I will settle with you, Idalsman, when we meet again," he added. "If I see you again alive," gr ed the host, with a shudder. But the fugitives did not si3op to reply. Ludowitz walked firmly to th outer door, and passed out into the street, f llowed close- ly by the count. "Seethere are the soldiers coming this way. Be firm now, and follow And go, with a quickly beatin heart, , the Count Ruric started forth. He did not dare to turn, for he could hear the voices of those who sought him, and one of them he recogniz- ed as that of an officer from the capital, whom he knew. "Ha!" exclaimed Ludowitz, "they have gone into Malsman's. We escaped in time -- from there, at least. How is your heart, Barter' he earnestly inquired. "Time" replied the count. "Then keep it so. for we shall most assured - be followed. Here comes a guard of sol- diers to meet us. Bow your head and shade your face with your basket, and step slow and clumsili. We must be witty, now, for etrength of arm will not avail us." CHAPTER V. TRIALS FOR LIBERTY. Rhiic was not unmindful of how much might depend: upon the proper management of the character he had assumed, and he did all in his power to appear the clumsy peasant he would have people take him for. He saw a party of soldiers that were approaching him, and his heart beat quick as he saw that one of the officers from the capital accompanied them. Reknew that officer. "Let us cross over," he whispered to Ludo- evitz. "There is one with those soldiers who knowS Me. If he should recognize me we are surely lost." "No no," 'said the captain. "Hide Your face ah You can and keen boldly on. They may suspect us it We avade them. If they speak to us I will answer them." By this time the soldiers were close at hand, and the fugitives turned to let them pass. Ringo bowed 1iis hea4 and drew his great basket forward. Ris heart beat painfully, but he showed no outw4rd tremor. They met -and they passed-knd then the officer turn- ed and hailed them. "Stop, there, fellow I" he cried. "Have you seen any soldiers a ut here?" "Yes," returned Luc4owltz, with a strong Pekovian idiom, "we Ow some about here, and they went into anl old huckster's shop some way up -on this sidt of the street. They seemed to be in a terrible hurry -what are they after?" 1 i "No matter. But holri, perhaps you may know something." And thereupon the officer described Ruric's appearance very minutely, and then asked the seeming peasant if he had seen such a person. "No," said Ludowitz) daylight this morning, not meet any one on t you will catch him, for the proud ones escape die." During this colloquy with his dirt -begrimed part of the soldiers, but the officer. He came nigh exposing himself when his person was being so minutely des- cribed, for it appeared td him that those who were looking upou him must see through his disguise; but he tras not suspected, and ere long he was one more on his way down the street, with hie companion close to his side. At length they turned off into a narrow passage -way; and here they started into a brisker pace. They met many persons, but no more soldiers, and fit half an hour they were clear of the town and -had struck into a road that led to the westward across the Yamburg marshes. "Now," said Ludowitlz, " we have a fair field before us, and it * not more than ten miles to the Balki. If we are not followed, all will be well." , "Let us throw aside our baskets," said Ruric, "for mine is more of a burden than I find comfortable." "Wait till we reach yonder stream," re- turned Ludowitz, " and then we will sink them. There may be da ger in leaving them by the roadside, for we know not how soon we may be followed." Accordingly when they came to the stream, they procured some sto es and sank their baskets and then moved 4n" more easily. At the distance of about five miles they came to a spot where theroad woiind around the foot of quite a hill, and the were thinking of stopping it few momentsl to rest, when they were startled by the souid of horses' hoofs behind them. From th4 tread they ceekl tell that there was anum r of them coming, though they were at som distance. "They must be after ," said Ruric, stop ping and listening to the sound. "It may be so, and it may not," returned Ludowitz; "but I think it most probable that I have been suspected. At all events we had better seek some pace of refuge.", The road, after it swe t away from the foot of the hill, was built for more then six miles over a low, quick marsh, so that to keep on in that directioi was out of the question. The only -p1a4 of an available kind was a mill, and thi er the fugitives quickly turned their steels. It was a stone building as far as the to er, and combined ai the mill and dwelling under one roof, The mill was now in motion, and Ludowitz entered just as the horsem n appeared at the bend of the road. " In! in! quick!" he cried out to Ruric, "or we shall be seen." But the warning was o no use, for the pursuers had stopped and ere gazing up at the mill, and they must 1ave seen the fugi- tives ere they got into th building. There were two outer doors to the building -one that led to the millroom, anl at which the dis- guised men had just enteifed, and the Other at tho back side of the dw Ring department. The miller was a small, iddle-aged man, and he was not a little surfirised at the sud- den appearance of the twoj fleeing peasants. "Hark ye," uttered Lud witz, addressing the startled man, "if yoi value your life, don't you make a thovomnt to oppose us. Only keep quiet and poleshi1J not be harmed ." The poor fellow was to3 n Rich frightened to offer any resistance, and without waiting to hear if he would make any reply, Ludo- witz sprang toward the baek door of the mill - room. The captaie found Ian old woman and a boy in the kitchen buI he quieted their fears as well as he could, 4id by the time he had returned to the mill t e soldiers were at , the door. They knocked itnd demanded ad- mittanee in the neameof t e emperor. The miller was kept qu et by being math to feel that his life would nswer for his con- duct, and he was directed tlo bring the womax and child into a room an keep them there. After this the two fugitiv s went up into the loft back of the tower, s hero there, was El small square window t at overloOked the spot upon which the hors men stood. Ludo- witz looked out -of this w udow and asked of the soldiers what was wanted. "We want the two pea4ants thatleft Got gaup this morning, one &t whom we believe to be the Count Feodor It ric, and the other the captain of the vessel that brought him from St. Petersburg," wa• the answer of the officer who led the perty, all of five men. e . . "Ah, that's the very c p!" cried 1 one of the soldiers. "That's the very one We spoke with this morning. Of ccurse tho other one ruust be with him." I "Hark ye, fellow," r sumed the officer, "we areafter you with a order direct from the emperor. Will you de iver yourselves up, or shall we have to resor to force?" "Now, hark ye," returued Ludowilz, in a firm, defiant tone. "whoe er we be -f r there are two of us -if you want us ybu mdst take us; but yet I should advio you to airn and, go back, for I tell ye u w, we are deter- mined to lose our lives Lefore we lose our liberty" "Come down and openthe door uickly, or we'll burst it open, and dead or allve you are ours. Down, I say, r the wort shall be your own." "Stand ready, count," wliispered Lu ovvitz, "for the pinch has come. •, They will force the door easily, if they try. Coc1 your pistols and stand by to tal4e nay place. .As the captain spoke, he turne once more to the window and l4oied out. "Are you going to surr rider?" askd the ' officer, imperatively. "This ei my answer," r turned Ludowitz; and as he spoke, he aimed his pistol an fired. The aim was sure, and the officer re led in his saddle. Another pistol was quickly and truly aimed, and a second eoldier fell from his saddle. . Ludowitz had to drop Iis head now, for the three remaining men had drawn their own firearms, and- two pto1 balls came whizzing through the w' clew. After this everything was quiet for a ew moments, and then the voices of the oldiers could be heard. They were going to enter by tbe house window. "Quick, quick!" respond Ludowitz, who had time to reload but on of his pistols. "Let's make for the windo , and we'll shoot them from there as soon as they come." So the fugitives started at once for the window, where they arriv just as one of I the soldiers lied beaten o n the sash and , was putting his head through. a i Ruric took his turn no w,Iand with an un- erring aim he sent a ball through the fel- low's brain. On the next instant Ludowitz sprang forward. He fe t sure that he should find a mark for h.4 pistol when he reached the window, and he was not mis taken. He fired and then prang back, and the movement was SO sudden and sdatioe 1:We came in betore d I am sure we did e road. But I hope I don't like to see and the poor ones the count bad stood face turned toward refully hidden from Ivhich consisted in made that those on the outside had no to either defend themselves or take chance warn- ing. "We have but one left now," cried Ruric drawing his second pistol. "Let's o en th door and go out." "Come on," returned the other. "S3y th fates, fortune fevers us. Eyelet sh'ot ha told. What a glorious fortress this c4c1 mi makes!" The door -the mill doer -was un arr and Ludowitz lookedout just as the oldi had mounted and was making off. "Fire at him if you like." "No," returned Rurid, "let the poor fello gl.

"Tem tWae horses will carry us to the I Ba In less than half an hour if we put th m • Then turning to the trembling mill4r, added; . "You must excuse us for the liberty wj hav taken with your place.but men in our s1ttatio have no choice. But here is a golden imreria That's more, than you can make in a Mont at grinding corn. You must make thp b excuse you can to the officers, if they con here after us." "Oh, mercy," cried the affrighted m with his hands clasped, "they will sweav tha I helped you, and then I shall be bange4." "But you must tell them that you idn' help us." i "And then they won't believe me. 0 me one more favor before you go. Lash th old woman into a chair., and tie my hands b hind me. I'll tell them you did it, and the they'll believe me" . Both Ludowitz and Ruric smiled a t proposition, but it was by no means 4 ba one, and they hastened to carry it out. Bo the miller and the woman were seeurel 4 bound, and as the child was not old e oug to help them he was left free. The bodes the dead soldiers were left where the h fallen; and having secured two of the Iore4e the fugitives mounted and set off on a gallop It was just noon when they reached the lite bay of Balki, and there they found a sell on safely riding at anchor. The horses weii then set at liberty, and ere long Lud wit stood upon the deck of his own vessel, I wit the count by his side. "Now for a breeze to carry us out of taise uttered the captain, as he placed his an upon the wheel and looked around upoit tIs crew. I "If we can only run clear of the imperi vessels till dark, I'll ask no more. To th windlass now, all hinds, and heave thij anchor up as though there was life at Ulla atberleesrys turn." thanhaif an hour the little v sse was walking out from the bay as though she knew the wish that lay in her comman er soul; and with a fresh breeze from the as ward, she leaped off toward the Baltic li e bird. CHAPTER VI. AN ADVENTURE. On the morning of the third day the ijttte vessel reached Stockholm, eutd there R was fortunate enough to find a ship b 111 for Toulon, and in this he secured a pass When he came to bid Ludowitz fare% , his heart was tried to the utmost, for be hal formed for the noble -hearted captain a a - der and lasting attachment. The yoar count had seen all his effect:3 eifees conveyeli on board the ship, and the order had alreid- been passed for manning the wit:chase here Ruric held his friend by the hand. "Ludowitz," he, said, wish tears in his coos. "I must /cave you now. I In ty know whither; but be it at eresoeve; ' el• may, my heart shall never lose the erste ul love you have planted there.

Its Challenge is Investigation. Its Passport is Truth. This system is complete, having different medi- cines (whieh are perfectly pure a d taateless) for all the different diseases. THE THEORY is 'to rebuild the diseased cells and tissues of the body, and by thus reaching the prima cause of di ease these medicin s will sieve life here, the old systems of giving poisonous drugs fail miserably. Books explaining the system sent free to any address. Histogenetio Medicine Association: G ENTLEM SZ4, -My daughter took a eevere cold on the 21st of last July. and it did not break, but -set- tled all through her system. She had a irevere headache, pain In the cords of her neck, ears, right side and through her body generally,followed soon by chillejever, poor and failing appetite and nausea. A cough set in, the lips became very pale and sys- tem bloodless; tongue thickly coated yellow; diz- ziness extrt me prostration and rapid decline follow- ed. I consult d Dr. Rear, -who seemed to be much alarmed at my daughter's condition. He pre- scribed the Histogenetic remedies for ber, and she gained rapidly, and t,nly required three lots of medi- cine and one visit. In one month she was cured soundly. I consider her case was a very hopeless one, and that Histogenetic Medicines and the doctor's good advize saved her life. I think it Is the best syst4m of medicine. HERBERT LEGGE, 30) College Street, Toronto, September -28, 1891. Histogenetic Med:eine Aseociation : Gremamen.-This is to certify that I have suf ered with rheumatism for the last twenty-flve esre. At fivedifferent periods 1 have beep so bad that I had to remain in bed for several months at a time. This summer I was suffering severely with Pains all through my body, constip Mon, headache, drowsiness, etc. I began taking Hietogenette Medicines on June 15th and continuerl for eight weeks. I began to improve at one,e. Pain left me gradually. 1 do not feel it at all except a very lit- tle at change of weather -nothing to speak of, just a gentle reminder. Constipation and headache cured up and no return of either since. It is now six weeks since I Mopped taking the medicines. I feel better now than I have for years, - and I heartily recommend the people of London to try Histogenetic Medicines, as they did more for me than all the doctors' prescription or other n.edicines that I had taken betore.
