She turned quickly away and went

down, "I must have your name and ad-

But Jennie did not pause to answer.
She had no wish to undergo cross ex-
amination at an inquest, knowing that
if she told the truth she would not be
believed, while if she attempted to hide
it unexpected personal inconvenience

rapidly to the street corner, hailed a

capital of the north, with a room in the

"Well, honestly, Mr. Hardwick, I

"I am more than willing to risk all

"I desire the whole room, if you

She paid the price and departed, won-
dering if the other room had really been
taken by the police and whether the au-
thorities were so anxious for the safety
of the special messenger that they con-
sidered it necessary to protect him to
the frontier. If, in addition to the nat-
ural precautions of the messenger, there
was added the watchfulness of one or
two suspicions Russian policemen, then
would her mission become indeed im-
possible. On the other hand, the ill paid
policemen might be amenable to the in-
fluence of money, and as she was well
supplied with the coin of the realin
their presence might be a help rather
than a hindrance. All in all, she had
little liking for the task she had under-
taken, and the more she thought of it
the less it commended itself to her.
Nevertheless, having pledged her word
to the editor, if failure came it would
be through no fault of hers.
Jennie went early to the station on
the night of tee 21st and entered the
sleeping car as tion as she was allowed
to do so. The conductor seemed some-
what flustered at her anxiety to get to
her room, and he examined her ticket
with great care. Then, telling her to
follow him, he took her to room B, in
which were situated berths 5 and 6,
upper and lower. The berths were not
made up, and the room showed one seat,
made to accommodate two persons. The
conductor went out on the platform
again, and Jennie, finding 'herself alone
arrince, walked up and down
the narrow pa'sngeway at the side to
get a better idea of her surroundings.
Room C, next to her own. was the
one taken by the British embassy.
Rooni D, still farther on, was the one
that appeared to have been retained by
the police. She stood for a few moments
by the broad plate glass window that
lined the passage and looked ont at the
crowded platform. For a time she
watched the eondnctor, who seemed to
be gazing anxiously toward the direct'

Presently a big man, a huge overcoat
belted round him, with a stern bearded
face—looking, the girl thought, typical-
ly Russian—strode up to the conductor
and spoke earnestly with him. Then the
two turned to the steps of the car, and
Jennie fled to her narrow little room,
closing the door all but about an inch.
An instant later the two hien came in,
speaking together in French. The larger

guage in a way that showed it was not

"When did yon learn that he had
changed his room?" asked the man
with the gruff voice.
"Only this afterncon," replied the
conductor.
"Did yon bore holes between that and

"Yes your excellency : bnt Azof did
not tell me whether you wanted the
holes atIthe top or the bottom."
"At fhe bottom, of course," replied
the Rnssian. ".iny fool might have

"Oh, very well! We can easily stop

English do is to open a window."
"The window is secnrely fastened,
