CHAPTER Cl.
"Your Husband.”
The witchery of the beautiful bar
oness' glance, the magnetism of her
presence, almost made Frank forget
iho many things of Importance which
hs had to tell her. But he knew that
she must be Informed of everything. So.
tsklng from hls-pocketbook the envel
ope addressed by Buxanno to Mueller,
which he had secured from John Vail,
the cabman, he said;
"This, too, may interest you. Tou

She glanced at ft and looked up.
"Susanne’s—yes. But who It this
Ma* Kaufmann?”
"Your husband."
"What a man you are! Then he Is In
New York and living at this address?"
"He Is, nr was."
"And the Inference Is?"—
“That he and this Suzanne have been
In communication—yes.
“How on earth have you found out
these thingsT"
"Through the aid of an honest cab
man and n clever detective,” said Frank.
“And now let us fully understand each
other. You have much to tell me and 1
have many things to tell you. Let me
begin."
Vera Slavlnsky nodded assent.
"First," said Frank. “I have never
told you that around the neck of poor
Reginald's little wife, of whose murder
ho was falsely accused for so long,
there was this trinket."
He took a chssed locket from hla
pocket and handed It to Mme. Slavln
*ky.
“My God!" she shuddered as she took
it. "Rita, Rita, Rita!"
She broke Into a passion of tears,
The woman whom Frank had always
seen so self-contained was now a trem
bling. fearful child. For a moment an
overpowering desire to take her In hla
arms and comfort her arose In tho
mind of Frank, and only the knowledge
that she was now a wife, although of a
man she despised and hated, kept him
from declaring the love that he had long
restrained.
He was forced to content himself
with gently laying his hand on her
shoulder and entreating her to be calm.
At last she recovered herself.
Secrets Revealed,
"You must pardon me," she said, "but
tills pverepmes me. It Is the llrat nejya
i have had of n)>- slater since, when a
child of ii. we were forced to eond her
In the care of two honest servants out
of Russia, poor. Ill-fated Russia, to
escape the doom that threatened our
family."
"Your slater!" exclaimed Frank, al
though he had anticipated some such
answer.
Yes, my slater,” returned Mme. Sla
vlnsky. "my youngest sister. You say
•he was the wife of your cousin?"
"Yes,” said Frank, “and murdered, I
believe, by your husband who sought to
throw the blame on Reginald, with the
result that you know."
“I am sure he murdered her, the ac»
cursed fiend!” cried the beautiful wom
an.. “He knew that she had a portion
of the map and the diamonds. We
each were given this heritage by our
mother, my eldest sister, who had early
determined to lead the life of a religious
recluse, refusing to accept any part of
the herltago which has brought a curse
upon our family.
"I believe Carl married me for the
purpose of obtaining the document and
diamonds, which he In some mysterious
manner knew I possessed."
"You know who your husband really

early life I know little. I know also
one thing more, and that la—he la a
Russian spy.”
She hissed the words with an In
tensity of feeling that -made Frank,
shrewd attorney that he wae and
skilled In the art of deducing much
from the half Involuntary outbursts of
those swayed by pnsstone, realise for
the first time that this woman not
only hated Carl Mueller for the wrongs
ho had Inflicted upon her, but because
he was an enemy of the country she
loved.
As certainly as though she hod
spoken the words, Frank Bracebrldge
knew that Vera Slavlnsky wna a Rue
elan revolution!!!.
The mystery that surrounded her
waa cleared. The air of aecret power,
whlch-had puzzled him, when at Sara
toga, by the mere lmltatloh of a bird's
whistle, she had called men to her aid,
waa now explained. Ha felt that this
waa no time for subterfuge.
"You are of the revolutionary party,"
he laid quietly.
She looked at him fixedly for a mo
ment.
“Ah, you have guessed It,” she'said.
"Yes, I am. That Is one of the rea
sons for the vendetta'between my hus
band and myself. He won my consent
to our marriage by pretending to sym
pathise with our cause; he Joined the
secret band of. which I waa a member,
and It waa because I coveted hla aid
for the country 1 loved that I married
him. He Is cunning and of powerful
Intellect, as you know. I knew what
poWer’h# could wield In our cause, and
so I gave my life Into his keeping.
"A Hideous Mistake.”
Otlr marriage was a hideous mis
take from the beginning. Never were
a couple more. Ill-mated. I had never
loved him. Soon I began to hate him.
I discovered that his devotion to the
cause was only a pretext to get from
me the document and the diamond.
That he waa a Russian spy. and one of
the closest to the exar and moat de
moniacal In the use of hla power, I have
but lately learned. Curiously enough,
that knowledge has come to me through
you, Mr. Bracebrldge."
“Through me; how?” asked Frank,
puxzled.
You remember a document which
you gave to a waiter upon hla re
quest?".
"Yes," said Bracebrldge, very much
excited.
"That waiter waa my half-brother."
returned the baroness, "and the docu
ment proved to ua what few had sus
pected. that my husband, was the czar’s
most powerful spy. It established his

WALL STREET SCORED
BY JUSTICE GAYNOR
Urges People to Rally to
Support of Roosevelt in
Reform Work.
Special to The Oenrxlsn.
Norfolk, Vo., Oct. IE.—Justice Wil
liam J. Oaynor, who waa the princi
pal speaker at the Brooklyn Day cele
bration at the Jameatqwn Exposition
yesterday, scored In no unmeasured
terms the traffic evtts that exist In
this country, and urged the people to
rally to the support of the president
In his reform of this great evil.
In closing his address he said;
"In my part of the country, which Is
under tho eaves of Wall street, and
partly debased and debauched by the
gambling of that place, there are
many, some wickedly nnd falsely, and
some stupidly, as mere parrots, de
nouncing President Roosevelt for bend
ing the energies of government to stop
this great evil. They call hit course
a 'general attack on corporations and
on buslnesa' Yea this effort to make
the railroad companies obey the law
and charge the same rate to everyone
Is called an attack on corporations and
on business. It Is pitiful to see some
stockholders Join In this false cry. Can
not even the stupidest stockholder see
thst if the rebates being given to fa
vorite shippers, nnd by them divided
up with railroad magnates and offi
cials, were paid Into the treasuries of
the railroads, the amount thus received
would be declared out In dividends,
and that dividends would thereby be
largely Increased? It used to be a
saying that a fool was born every min
ute, and I fear It holds good yel. Ev
en' one should support the president
and the government in eradicating this
great evil. And we must see to It that
a successor to President Roosevelt is
elected who will continue the work
with his unabated energy and pur
pose.”

Special to Tbe Georgina
Rockmart. Ga., Oct. 1«.—Rockmart Is
one of the most wide-awake towns In
north Georgia. Together with Its vast
natural resources It has men to devel

$2,000,000 cement plant, stove foundry,
brick plant, hosiery mill and slate
works, besides several Industries now

from England that parties will leave
Llanberls, Wales, within the next ten

“Oh, yes." returned Mme. Slavlnsky.
"Your husband Is the descendant of
the Mueller who tried to rob our great
grandfather Bracebrldge, and who,
when disarmed and left there by our
ancestor, swore vengeance on him and
hla family."
’Ah-h." breathed Vera Slavlnsky,

Instant later she was cone.
CHAPTER Cll.
A Surprise.
At 11:10 the next day Frank entered
the front door of the Jewelry estab
lishment.
"I am a little ahead of time." he said,
"but I thought It better to come early
before this young woman arrives. It
occurs to me. too, that I might slip Into
an adjoining room and wait until the
proper moment comes for bringing me
upon the scene.”
"A capital idea!” (aid the manager,
approvingly. "There you are—Just the
thing.” and he pointed to n door a few
paces away. ."I will leave that ajar,
so that you cgn overhear our conver
sation At the right moment I will tap
the bell here on my desk and you will
understand."
Suddenly the manager aald;
"Why. there she Is already, ahead of
time," and as tie pointed Frank looked
through the plate glass partition Into
the store, and there In very deed stood
the much-bedecked Suzanne.
Frank slipped at once Into th# ad
joining room, and, leaving the door suf
ficient!}' ajar, stood behind It awaiting
developments. The next moment he
henrd the manager say:
"Kindly take a seat, madam. And
now as to the necklace you were good
enough to leave with me yesterday.
What valuation do you put upon It?
In other words and bluntly, what do
you want for It?"
"Fifteen thousand dollars," was the
reply. In very broken English.
■'Well, yes. it Is not an .unreaeona-
ble sum, but may 1 ask you, madam,
what you paid tor this originally?"
"I paid nothing," she replied. “It
was given to me by a gentleman.”
"Would you object to mentioning the
gentleman's name?”
"Certainly. Why should I?” came the
answer In strident tone*; and, peeping
through the crack of the door Frank
could see that Suxanne had bridled up,
and with head thrown back and arms
akimbo, now stood up confronting the
manager with the aggressive stop full
on.
"The question I* an Insult." said she.
"Give me back the necklace at once.
It Is like you Americana to Insult an
honest woman. Do you think I stole It
front the gentleman, then? Give It
back at once. I say. I will take It
somewhere else where people hove
proper manners.”
"My dear young lady,” said the man-
ager' , 'take my advice and calm your
self ' We arc not accustomed to his
trionics here. Better be seated again.
Take my advice. AM That Is better.
Now I am seriously afraid that you
have placed yourself In n somewhat
awkward position."
"How” Why? she asked. In a voice
that had suddenly lost all Its shrillness.
"Why? Because the gentleman who
owned this necklgp. never gave It to
you, that Is why.”
