| ferings? My dear father dead in the very

hour of our victory? Oh, it was too grimly cruel of destiny. I could not be- lieve it, I could not!

**Come, come, there is no jmeed to despair,’’ said the chief. ‘‘He is, likely enough, making a long recovery. They would not send him forward till he was strong enough to travel without risk—the convict guard corps are not inhuman monsters, as the foreign news- papers are so fcnd of describing them. Your father is probably still too weak to travel, a most fortunate circum- stance, as it happens, for you will now have but a few hundreds of miles to journey, in order to be at his side, in- stead of as many thousands. Come, play the man, and—if you are wise—take the first train for Spask. You will probably find your father there.’”’

“Telegraph first, if you wiil,” I said. ‘‘I cannot stand the suspense.’’

The chief kindly did as I requested. He sent a message to the little convict station at Spask, inquiring whether Kornilof was still detained there.

I went for a walk by the Neva’s banks while the message went forward and until the reply should arrive. I could not go home and talk about it all with Percy and Borofsky. My heart was too full. I must be alcne—like the wounded animal, in this, that prefers tc go and hide itself in order to suffer unobserved.

I tramped the whole length of the embankment twice, and those who have seen St. Petersburg will know how far thAt is, before I summoned courage to call again at the chancellery to hear ‘hat news had arrived at Spask.

I saw the chief in a mist and heard nis voice in a dream.

“IT congratulate you,” he said. ‘‘1 think it will all be well. Read it for yourself. ie

He did so.

SAVE THE BABY!

> A mother will risk her V eA own life many times ® over, to save her babe from the horrors of hy- ™ drophobia. There are Mi graver perils from which a mother should protect her child. A mad dog is a rarity, but thousands of children die daily be- cause of the seeds of disease implanted in their little bodies be- fore birth. A woman may in- sure the kealth of ™ her babe if she eM sees to it that she is thoroughly 3 strong and healthy in a wo- manly way dur- ing the period of gestation. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that sustain the Durden of maternity. It makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It banishes the squeamish spells of the expectant period and makes baby’s introducvion to the world easy and nearly painiess. it rids maternity of peril. It insures the newcomer’s health and an ample supply of nourishment. It transforms sickly, nervous, fretful, despond- ent, childless women into healthy, happy, helpful, amiable wives and mothers. Over

ooo women have testified to the benefits derived from this marvelous medicine. It does away with the oe for the em- barrassing examinations and local treat- ment upon which most physicians insist. It substitutes certainty for _the doubtful treatment of obscure physicians, who sel- dom correctly diagnose these troubles. All medicine dealers sell it, and Dr. Pierce will cheerfully give free advice to ailing women who write him.

Scores of women who have been perma- nertlv cured of obstinate and dangerous diseases by this great medicine, have permitted their names, addresses, expe- riences and photographs to be, printed in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad- viser. This book is free and contains 1 pages, telling the home-treatment for most diseases. Send 31 one-cent stamps, to cover mailing and customs only, for paper covered copy. Cloth binding so stamps.

The message ran, so far as Ican remember the words: ‘‘Korni- ;

Then I brok: gently to her the news which had ¢o dimmed for me the glory of success Father had been very ill at Spask for many weeks and was ill again with a relapse which might be very serious at Nicolaief. I expected my mother t burst into tears and bewail the cruel chance that seemed to dash happiness from us in the very hour of its attain-

ment, bunt she did nothing of the kind. On the contrary, she embraced me and bade me godspeed in my journey east- ward.

‘*‘You have done most wonderfully, my son,’’ she said, smiling radiantly. ‘‘I thank heaven has been on our side throughout, It will still be so. You will bring father home to me safe and well. Oh, I know it, I know it, for sure !”’

Mother’s pluck and confidence did me a world of good, and we spoke of plans and arrangements. Percy should travel with me to Nicolaief and help nurse fa- ther, if he were still unable to come home at once. Mother suggested accom- panying us herself, but this I would not hear of. She was far too weak and ill. The suspense and trials of the past months had reduced her to a shadow of her old self and her strength to pitiable weakness.

Borofsky, we agreed, might now be paid off, ‘‘and well paid, too,’’ added mother, for his services could be meas- ured by no crdinary standard.

‘‘Fatker will know what to say to him When he conies,’’ she said, ‘‘and how to praise you, my son, and dear Percy—my own heart is too full to say what I feel—tell him so, dear, toth Percy and Borofsky.”’

This was the on!¥ moment at which mother cried a little, and assuredly sie did not weep now f@® any sorrow or anxiety.

CHAPTER XXXV.

THE COUNT RESTORED TO HiS HOME.

Armed with the chief’s own august signature, which is the next thing in Russia to the tzar’s ukase itself, Percy and I took the train that night for Nicolaief, which is a little convict post not far from the town of Kostroma. The railway passes Spask, the place in which my father lay sick for the first three months of his captivity, and I shuddered as I gazed at the wretched little huts occupied by the ‘‘unfortu- nate,’’ as the convicts are called by the peasantry. How he must have suffered, unused as he was to roughing it—ill, lonely, distressed, almost heartbroken probably by the utterly undeserved and mysterious turn of fortune which had landed him among such surroundings and companions.

At Spask station, too, we experienced a surprise and shock which afiected me not a little.

For as we stood on the platform stretching our legs and waiting for the train to proceed a gang of chained con- victs were hauled out of the wretched cattle trnck provided for their accom- modation and marched across the plat- form. Some were uproariously singing, some went with black and lowering brows, some begged of the passengers whom they passed, and who mostly gave the beggars some small coin to be expended in creature comforts en route for Siberia.

Suddenly Percy jogged my arm.

‘‘Lock, Boris,’’ he whispered. ‘‘Look in the third row, quickly.’”’

I turned my eyes in the direction in- dicated, and my heart seemed to give a great bound. It was Andre. He saw me at the same moment and, silent hith- erto. suddenly burst into a string of blasphemous abuse far too horrible to repeat or describe. As he passed us he spat at me. Ina moment he had disap- peared, still looking back and foully cursing. Bah! It is the last I ever saw

of him, or, I sincerely trust, ever shall

see. Then the train moved on, and in

an hour or two we reached Nicolaief. With beating hearts we found our

way to the penal resting station. What

ther alive and recovering able to travel home with us tome™.., -—~“ to renewed life and happiness see “: be- gan with a shock—so ter ‘2g © *k that to this day I remen 4’? oe anh- guish the horror of it.

It was late inthe afternoon and dark when we rang up the doorkeeper. This official, a soldier, was busy over his supper and sulky. He knew none of the names of the convicts, he said; nei- ther would he trouble any one at this hour of the day who did.

I offered the fellow a ruble.

“Oh!’’ he said. ‘If lam dealing with a real gentleman, that is another thing. Step in, and I will fetch the inspector. z

He locked the door behind us and, leaving us in a filthy, whitewashed San passed into the equally filthy recesses beyond and out of our signt.

Presently a repulsive locking official

bis head and his cheek. teeth, having, like the sentry, been'é'+- turbed at his supper; then he seemut to remem ber.

We replied by showing the grado-

nachnik’s order for the release of **con- vict Kornilof.”’

He scratched He sucked

The fellow reflected

“Oh,’’ hesaid, “I recollect, yes. You are too late, my friend. We carr’ sd

out four of these last week, and wor! lof was one.’”’

‘Carried out?’’ murmured, 1M

heart seeming to panse in its beati

for very anguish of the thought tl

gripped me. ‘‘What does that mean

‘‘Buried,”’ said the fellow—‘‘t

doctor’s certificate of release and per-

wission.to remain behind for the Nic:- laief worms to eat, instead of procerca-

ing to Yakutsk and Sakhalin, and so on. Good nighi. You will excuse me I am at supper.’

Heaven knows how I got out of the door and away. Percy was there to help me. I was dazed and but half alive and stumbled and nearly fell as I went, in spite of Percy’s support.

So this was the end. He was dead They had murdered him, after all. for it was a judicial murder and noth- ing better. The cup was dashed from our very lips! My poor mother! Oh, the infernal, cruel, heertless, blunder- ing brutes!

‘I shall never live another day in Russia nor allow my mother to!’’ I suddenly burst forth. “The brutes have murdered him!”’

Percy began to soothe and console me, bidding me play the man and face trouble. I turned upon him angrily, intending to bid him be quiet and let commonplaces be. This trouble was beyond commonplace consolation, but just at this point the sentry banged the door behind him and ran through the yard after us

‘‘Barin,”’ he shonted, **barin, some- thing has occurred to me!’’ We waited for the fellow.

‘It is true,’’ he panted, running up to us, ‘“‘that four were carried out, but one of these was taken to the tcwn, to the hospital there, carried on his ted, sick, but not dead. The inspector is not very particular, he counts them all as dead; they generally die. If they are brought back, they are entered again as alive and sent on. It might have been this one that you are inquiring after. The hospital is down in the town. if you are anxious to know, you might ask down there.”’

‘‘Man,’’ I said, “show me the way quickly. If it is my friend, and he is alive, you shall have 25 rubles; if not, you shall still have 5—only come quickly !"’

. + > * = * *

What more remains to tell? God was very merciful. Father was alive, and, though still very ill, on the way to re- covery.

He recognized me and was able to understand that I had come with Percy to bring him home and that all was well with mother.

Naturally this was better for my dear old father than all the medicines and tonics that the Eritisn or any other pharmacopceia cexld provide him with- al, and within a ijurtnight he was able to trave] back with us by easy stages to St. Petersburg.

Oh, the joy of that day—the day of our arrival! It was a magnificent win- ter’s morning, frost of the hardest, sun- shine of the brightest, the snow all a-dazzle, as though incrusted with mil- lions of little gems-—everything com- bined to render father’s home coming as bright and happy as it could possibly be made.

My mother did not meet us. I would not have her come... No eyes, not even my own, should witness the restoration to one another of these two. There are some things that are too holy to be seen or described, and this was one of them.

But my mother was waiting for him in her own boudoir, and, though dear old father turned at the door and signed to me enter with him, I would not. He mutely shook me by the hand and en- tered alone.

Well, dear friends who have accom- panied me through my trials and have reached with me the geal of success and happiness, this is the point where, alas,

our roads diverge!
