CHAPTER XXXIV.
World Politic*.
Forty-eight hours later, on a perfect
tropic morning outside the little palm-
fringed bay of Georgetown, the "Wan
derer," with Captain Chetwode in
fussy and excited mood, was making
ready to leave those shores. Nothing
had been seen or heard of AValter Pol
lexfen and Coco, and the "White Roae"
had not reappeared. The only other
vessel of sice in the neighborhood of
Georgetown was the "Pelagae," the
Russian ship which had already an
chored there when the "Wanderer" ar
rived. Now Just as the crowd of har
bor boats were pulling away from the
yacht's side and the gangway was be
ing drawn up. Captain Chetwode, who
was on the bridge and conscious of tfye
loss of two nights* sleep, observed that
an extremely smart cutter was on Its
way from the "Pelagea" to the "Wan
derer,” and that in the sternsheets of
the cutter sat a man In the naval uni
form of a Russian captain. He noticed
also that the "Pelagea," hitherto pass
ing for a private craft, was flying the
blue cross on a white ground which
only ships of the czar’s navy are en
titled to fly.
Captain Chetwode delayed giving the
commands which were on the tip of his
tongue; he gazed blankly at the cutter
as It shot over the glittering emerald of
the Caribbean. He had already had
more adventure that: he bargained for,
and the prospect of further complica
tions lid nothing to, soot he him.
Horace, too, had the cutter under ob
servation, and he It was who demanded
of the officer In the sternsheets as the
boat drew alongside:
"Do you want to come up?"
The officer replied that ho did.
"I’ll go and tell Uncle," said Hor
ace, running off. And the gangway,
half raised, was lowered again. Thus
it I?, In a manner the reverse of cere
monial, that the most solemn Incidents
begin. Captain Chetwode wus s. f as
tonished at the turn of the affairs that
he did and said nothing until the offi
cer was on board and greeting Sir An
thony Dldring and Philip Congleton
Masters with the elaborate punctilio of
a diplomat who Is conscious of a high
mission.
The officer tendered a card.
"Le Captain Porflry Platonich Kir
sanov."
And speaking English too correctly
for an Englishman, he begged the
honor of an Interview with Sir An
thony In a private place.
In three minutes Sir Anthony, with
his own hand, was offering whisky to
Cnptaln Klrsanoy In the yacht’s smok
ing room, while Philip attended to the
cigarettes. Tony had indicated that
Philip’s presence would be essential.
Both these young men tried to look
as If visits from Russlnn captains were
everyday episodes in their careers. R
Is possible that they succeeded tnod-
erntely well, but In reality they were
soinewhnt startled, If not frightened.
They recognized the Russian cnptaln
and In some strange way the sight of
him stimulated a certain activity in
their consciences. He was the man
they lmd seen at the Grand Etang on
the morning after the discovery of the
boxes.
and the Irtish, the Kamschatka, the
Russ, and the Ural were destroyed.
Ah! Gentlemen! ... If order had
reigned in our unhappy fleet the cof
fers would from the first have been on
the Ural. Sometimes chance rewards
negligence In a strange way.
"What occurred to the Anadyr dur
ing the time of her absence? Few
people know, and those who know will
not tell all they know. Her captain
died-—or he was killed. There was a
mutiny, one of several secret mutinies
that broke out after the battle of the
Japan sea. The Anadyr encountered
one of the pleasure yachts hired by the
Imperial government, under the French
flag, to witch the movements of the
Japanese fleets. You wJJJ call to mind
the law case concerning these yachts
last month. The coffers were trans
ported to the yacht, under the orders
of some of the secret revolutionaries
who were to be found In both ctews.
R had been decided that the contents
of the coffers were to be used for the
revolutionary cause. But It was neces
sary to conceal them for a period. The
thieves knew that, owing to the la
mentable defects of our beaurocracy,
they had only to wait in order to be
forgotten. On board the yacht was a
Scotchman who suggested the Grand
Etang as a hiding place, and received
a splendid reward for superintending
the affair. No Russian, I regret to
say it, could be trusted.’
Philip was about to make a remark,
but the captain entreated him with a
fine gesture to be patient.
And he resumed. "Among the depos
itaries of the secret was a young doc
tor named Isaac Palovsky, who soon
afterwards had the misfortune to find
himself In Odessa during the riots.
To save hfmse/f from the police, he as
sumed the uniform of a gendarme, and
this was his ruin, for he was caught
by a mob of laborers, who quite natur
ally refused to believe that he was not
really a gendarme, and he was stoned
to death. This was on the quays. He
fell, dying, into a dlnghey, and the
dlnghey belonged to the steamship
Volga, the name of whose captain was
Pollexfen. But he survived twelve
hours and confided to Captain Pol
lexfen various secrets of the revolu
tionary cause."
"Well, I’m—!" Tony exclaimed.
"Yes," said Captain Kirsanov polite
ly. "I have to add that some of this
information soon reached Ihe ministry
of marine at St. Petersburg. Three-
quarters of a million English pounds
sterling were not to be scorned even
by a government which can still bor
row at five and a half per cent, gen-,
tlemen. I was given private Instruc
tions to make an inquiry. A yacht was
put at my disposal. The Inquiry has
been completed. In the course of it
I naturally learned about the death of
Captain Pollexfen. After that, I came
here to—to wait and see. Among the
points as to which I lacked Informa
tion was the exact location—that ex
tremely Important detail. It would
astonish you, perhaps, to know how
much I have discovered as to the rela
tions between yourselves and the yacht
’White Rose,’ and even as to the origi
nal stupidity. If I may so express my
self, which caused Captain Pollexfen
to disclose his secret to his brother
Walter."
"Excuse me," said Philip.
us to give you the boxes? That's about
what it comes to."
"I am asking you to restore the cof
fers to their owner, his imperial ma
jesty, the czar. And for your trouble
and your risks I am authorized to pay
the sum of 75,000 pounds sterling."
There was a pause. The young men
exchanged glances.
"It seems to us strange," said Philip
at length, "that a demand has not long
ago been made formally through your
ambassador in London."
"Ah! My dear sir,” returned Kirsa
nov. "If It has not, the reason Is sim
pie." He sighed. "The reputation of
some of the highest personages
Russia Is Involved In the affair,
not press me. Let me say only that a
formal diplomatic explanation of all the
facts would necessitate the downfall of
at least one man who would prefer
civil war in Russia to his own dis
grace.- I can produce my credentials,
signed by Vice Admiral Blrleff, and I
shall have the honor of»dolng so when
I have received your reply. May I re
spectfully ask for your reply within
two hours? If.lt should be in accord
ance with my expectations, I shall have
the privilege of showing to you some
thing which will Interest you.”
"What Is that?"
"The keys of the coffers," said Cap
tain Kirsanov. "With the carelessness
characteristic of our race, the man who
transferred the coffers to the yacht left
the keys on the Anadyr. I have them.
The ministry of marine buys Its cof
fers In London, and I assume, there
fore, that you have not yet succeeded
In opening them."
With a gentle Slav smile, Captain
Kirsanov rose.
"Gentlemen"—he flourished.
Tony whispered to Philip.
"My friend says," Philip Announced,
"that, subject to proper verification
and so forth, the answer to your
proposal will be in tfte affirmative. I
agree with him.”
"Oh, yes," Tony broke in Impulsive
ly.
"We don't want two hours to decide
that we aren't a pair of thieves. But
no bunkum; you know!" The Rus
sian did not apparently comprehend the
phrase.
And when Captain Kirsanov had
gone—"Well, I’m”—Tony asserted
again.
It Is Just a shade out of the ordi
nary, isn’t It?" Philip concurred.

more. Have I mentioned that we were

At this moment the left side of the

Is that he meant to steal them."
"Not so,” Kirsanov replied smooth

“He had no Intention to steal. There
was a split In the ranks of the revolu

slightly—"and Captain Pollexfen’s Eng

that Coco, having Inspired the arch
plotter with confidence, had deliberately
shot him from behind.
It waa the essentia! Irony of things
that Pollexfen, after deceiving the
cleverest men on two continents for
nearly half a century, should at the
end have been deceived by so simple a
being as Coco—a poor creature In
whose head there was room only for
one Idea at a time. The finding of the
corpses rejuvenated London’s Interest
In a series of crimes destined to be
come classical; It made Horace a hero
In bis new school; It gave a passing
thrill to Horace’s tsother; it caused
enormous amount of Inconvenience to
Mary Pollexfen, Philip and Sir An
thony. The police, now that there was
nothing to do, Imparted Into the af
fair an energy which was astounding.
The three friends were examined and
cross-examined, watched, observed,
shadowed and spied on, to such a point
that their nervous systems would hav
been Justified In breaking under the
strain. Then suddenly the activity
ceased; the C. I.. D. devised other dis
tractions for Itself; the Pollexfen af
fair took the rank of ancient his
tory.
The tangled remains of It consisted
of some seventy thousand pounds ster
ling, which had been paid to Sir An
thony and Philip by the emissary of
the Bear at Fort de France. In the
presence of the French governor of
Martinique. The money was a rich
source of discussion during the voyage
home. Tony would not take any of
It; he was too wealthy for such trifles,
which he pretended were nothing to
him, and perhaps his vanity was to he
excused. Philip argued fhat In right
It belonged to Mary, as the descendant
of her father. Mary argued that the
winning of it was due wholly to Philip’s
enterprise. Neither was really averse
to the arrangement by which It was
ultimately divided equally between
them, for after all even the highest-
minded persons do not refuse to touch
thirty-five thousand pounds out of
sheer sentimentality.
Now as Philip and Mary were walk
ing down Klngsway that June after
noon a neswboy, and then another
newsboy, ran up Klngsway screeching
and bowling the late edition of The
Evening Record, and waving contents-
bllls which bore thb curt legend "Wal-
Pollexfen’s diary. Special.” Philip
bought the yellow sheet, and tried to
open it In the breeze. This occurred
precisely opposite to the new tea shop
which one of the greatest of after
noon tea companies had then recently
opened half way between Strange
street and Aldwyeh. They accepted
the shelter of the tea shop, which was
nearly empty, being peopled only by
elaborately musllned young women in
reposeful attitudes. They found a cor
ner, and on a marble-topped table Phil
ip spread out the newspaper.
The Record had been spending money
In the West Indies. In fact, it had en
gaged a "special" out there from the
staff of a Jamaica paper. And here
was Its reward. In the shape of ex
tracts from a diary which had been
discovered in the pocket of Walter Pol
lexfen’s coat. The special had cabled
from the diary, and The Record thus
added another to the long catalogue of
Its "scoops.”
Philip glanced down the double-
leaded lines, printed In black type
across two columns of the page.
“Really!" he murmured.
One of the musflned ladles dropped (
some earthenware heavily on to the
table, and there floated on to the news
paper a little square ticket with the
ords:

Here the diary broke off.

Mary folded up the paper, and gazed
at Philip In silence.
"What horrible dangers you ran!"
she said. "Ah!" she breuthed. "Money!
Is It worth"—
His glance rested with quick sym
pathy on her mourning dress, and then
roved round the room to make sure
that no one was within hearing. "Dear
friend!" he whispered, In a voice sud
denly passionate. "Forgive me. Somo
time, In a year perhaps, I might ask

He violently blushed, and added ab

In her attitude as she hovered near

So cruel be— 1
Would you
Rebel
Against a prohl’s pleading,
And send my soul
To hell?
Say, Booze,
Lay down your fight,
Join forces with
A man
Who once was in
Your power— ,
A man who knows that
He is .right;
And knows that you
Devour
The good Intentions
Of men so
Weak—
At least they do not utter
That noble word,
"Resist;”
But wander round
From town to town.
And
When they meet
A fellow man
Of better class, they’re
Hissed!
I plead,
And while I beg
I pray, ’ \ Z-
Keep the sale :
Away, away!
Thomaston, Ga. W. A. S.
Welcome, Druggists!
While attending the Druggists’ convention,
would pay you to give some thought to this Label
Placed on vour printed matter it will be a bid for
patronage of Organized Labor.
