Then, after a pause:
“Lance told me to-night the General
was dead; Avhat have you heard?”
“I have heard the crowd on the street
saving he Avas dead, but that cauuot be
true.”
“Why not, Ivan?”
“Because there are guards stationed
on the streets leading to the hotel
'where he lives, and they forbid all
sleighs passing that Avay. I heard two
soldiers talking, and one of them said:
‘It was the picture of that woman that
he wore over his heart that prevented
the bullet from going deeper. > ft
“Did the soldiers say what woman’s
picture it was?’kshe asked, eagerly.
“No; that Avas all I heard. ”
“But you heard people speak aboul
me?”
“Yes; the people are convinced that
you fired the shot, so that whether the
General dies or gets xvell it will go
hard Avith you if the real culprit is not
found; e\'en then I can see but one
way to save you. ”
“What is that, Ivan ?”
“It is a way that is in my powei
alone.” !
“Then you Avill tell me?”
“I cannot; Avait till the time for ac¬
tion comes,” said Ivan, with a resolute
ring in his voice.
She half understood him, and was in
the act of reaching out her hand to im
plore him to do nothing rash,when her the
purpose Avas changed on hearing
tramping of approaching men and the
jingling of bells, Avhile Lance’s coarse
voice could be heard calling out:
“She is in cell three.”
“Some one coming to see me,” said
Lola, here. quickly. “You must not be found
Lance is helpless at present. Get

The steps stopped before the door,
and the gleam of a lantern flashed
through Ivan the grating.
Avas as quick to act as Lola was
to comprehend the-situation.

She reached him her hand and he
pressed it to his lips, but did not utter
a word.

He sat on the bed, and as it was very
cold, he wrapped a blanket about him,
and he listened eagerly for the foot¬
step of the bearded giant.
He could hear the hollow coughifig
of prisoners in the cells near by, and
occasionally he heard a groan that
seemed to come from a broken heart.
Hour followed hour of intense dark¬
ness, and yet no Lance came.
He could not think he was entrapped,
and yet his suspicions were aroused.
He dare not cry out; there was
nothing for it but to rem ain still, and
this he did till the cold, gray dawn
came .from the corridor through the
bars of the cell.
CHAPTER XVII.
THE AVOUNDED MAN.
So prominent was General Paul as a
soldier, a noble of the empire, and an
attache of the Czar, that his attempted
assassination spread the greatest alarm
and consternation through the capital.
“They Avill not hesitate to strike at
the Emperor next,” was the exclama¬
tion Avith which the higher classes
greeted each other, Avhen they stopped
to discuss the neAvs.
When the Czar heard that Lola
Pulaski Avas General Paul’s assailant
he could not credit it.
Either the report was false, or else
Count Lin wold’s story of the General’s
attachment for the girl was.
Even General Paul himself had de¬
clared to the Czar that he loved this
girl, and it Avas only reasonable to be¬
lieve that she knew of this love and
returned it.
The pistol had been placed directly
against General Paul’s heart, and fired.
That it would have killed him in¬
stantly there cannot be the slightest
doubt, but the force of the bullet was
checked by a portrait, in a case, of the
woman who. was supposed to have fired
the pistol, became known,- and it
The fact soon
formed a subject for general com
ment.
As it was, the bullet struck through
the breast, and lodged in the muscles,
just aboA r e the heart.
The shock would have killed most
men, but.the General was young and
strong, and- after the bullet was ex¬
tracted, he regained consciousness, and
began to rally, vivid recollection of
He had a every
thing that happened, up to the mo
ment the shot Avas fired, but from that
time on, till the bullet Avas ^removed
from his breast, all was a blank.
Whether prudently or not,. he was
told that Lola Pulaski was his assail-’
ant.
it W as understood by the General’s
; attendants that the Czar ordered that
! this be done.
The General insisted with all the
g mp l ia sis he Avas capable of, that it was
a man who fired the shot. , '
He did not attempt to explain why
Avas found in front of Lola’s hoese,
and that she was arrested in the act of
bending over him within a minute after
the shot Avas fired.
“It is my wish,” he said to the phy¬
sicians, among whom -was Dr. Mulek,
‘that the Countess be brought here at
once.”
“My daughter, Elvira, your be¬
trothed!” exclaimed Count Linwold,
who happened to be standing near the
wounded man.
“No, sir,” replied the - General. “I
want to seethe Countess Pulaski.”
“The Countess Pulaski!” cried Count
LinAvold, and the physicians looked
from one to the other, as if to indicate
that their patient was raving, and
echoed:
“The Countess Pulaski!”
“Aye, gentlemen,” said the young
soldier, “that is as much her title as
Czar is that of Alexander the Second,
onr most gracious sovereign. But, as
1 the name seems to shock you into
j loubting my sanity, I’ll be plainer, if
j j you desire it.”
' said Count Lin
“We do desire it,”
j wold.
“Count Linwold!”
“Yes, General.”
“Pray, by what right do you adopt
j the royal we? Speak for yourself, sir,
and do not ape your master by inti

of Warsaw, before I die. I should
also like to see her old father, the

too, will be cliarg d with treason if I
( ask for too much.”

He aa as unfortunate m the Avay he |
approaclietl Lola m her the cell, and as we |
have seen he stung into madness.
He determined to be more politic j
when they got into the sleigh, for at
once, with well-feigned sorrow, lie be
gan to depiore the misfortunes that
had come to the poor girl.
‘I am indifferent to your sympathy
J' 0 ?/ ia ^°> s ^ e sau ^ with spird.
But it you are capable ot feeling the
pity you profess, go to your mas ir,
the Czar, and tell him that my father,
now within the walls of the Neva ,
prison, is an innocent man. Even if j
he were capable of thinking treason,
the age and infirmities brought on by
years of cruel tortures in the mines of
Siberia would incapacitate him from
raising his hand against the Czar.“
“Miss Pulaski, I Avant to help you,
and I Avill promise to see that you and
your father are freed on one condition,”
said the Count, with a manner that
showed he did not believe Avhat she
had just said.
“What is the one condition?” she
asked.
“That you and your father leave the
empire and never return to it.”
“How long will you give me to think
of that condition?”
“Twenty-four hours, and I will fur
ther see that ail you are provided with
money to pay your expenses and es
tablish you in a new home. ”
“Money!” she repeated, bitterly,
“Let the Czar restore the estates of
which my father was plundered and
we shall have money to help the poor;
but only in this way can we accept it
*
Erom the Czar.”
By this time the flying sleigh hotel, drew
up before General Paul’s private
and a line of soldiers at once formed on
either side.
Ignoring Count Lin wold’s proffered
arm, Lola Avalked into the hotel by his
side; nor did she seem at all confused
by the battery of eves that Avas turned
" '
upon her.
The Count left her in a beautiful
sitting-room, hung with arms and bat
Mongois, tle-flags captured from the Turks and
while he Avent in to announce
her arrival to the General.
She had been sitting there but a few
minutes when Dr, Mulek came out and
offered her his hand, but she did not
appear to see it, though she answered
his bow with a cold nod.
“I am sorry for this, Lola,” he said,
“but you did your work well.”
“It is not my Avork,” she replied.
“That’s right,” he said, with a know-,
ing laugh, “stick to that, for I '
can see
if .the General recovers he is bound to
help you out. I shall see Madame
Berger and the fair Elizabeth in the
morning. Any message to send?”
' “Not bv von' Vou ” she renlied
“And have no word to "send to

“None, save that I wish he and all

like flexible things before her distoited ■

She would have fallen had not Count
Linwold touched her arm and said, in
his oily voice: |
“Miss Pulaski, here is General
Paul.” , |
But another voice thrilled her heart j
and restored her to reason.
“Lola. Lola, I am here!”
It was the voice of General Paul,
weaker than when she last heard it,
but sweeter to her than all the music
of earth. that
Suppressing the cry rose to hex
lips, she sprang forward, and seizing

morning after Lola Pulaski’s visit to
General Paul.
The three men Avere m a private

“General Paul shows more force near

“Hoav so?” asked Peter, while the
Colonel knitted his bushy brows and
pulled Avith more vigor on his cigar.
“Why. the Czar sent to know if there
was anything he could do for him, and
he sent back Avord that lie Avanted Lola
Pulaski and her father released until
an examination could be held.”
“And did the Czar comply?” asked
Colonel Orloff.
“By the mass, he did; and this morn
ing old General Pulaski was released."
“Where are they noAV?” queried
Peter.
“I do not know, but I should not be
surprised if a search discovered them
at their old quarters.” Colonel
“See here, Dr. Mulek,” said
Orloff, speaking like a man who is giv

been deliberating over physicians for some time,

Peter had not yet given up the hope
of securing the hand, if not the love, of
Lola Pulaski; but if he failed he was
prepared to crush her through his as
sociates, the Nihilists, in the event of
her escaping from the meshes Count
Linwold was carefully weaving about

“I will see them, and I think I can
sheer them up,” said the Doctor.
As neither Lola nor her father Avas in
the house, Peter declined to go up, so
his companion went alone.
Of late Dr. Mulek had not attempt¬
ed to conceal his love for the fair Eliz¬
abeth.
He made it a point to talk of his
lonely life and tell of his own ability
to care for a wife every time he saw
her.
He found Madam Berger and Eliza¬
beth with red eyes, that spoke of re
cents tears, and pale faces that told of
a deeper anguish, still bending over

With a mysterious manner he told
them that Ivan was in secure hiding in
the city, and that his friends would
soon send him to a place of safety,
but before doing so the mother and!
daughter Avould have a chance to see
him.
This vague information, had an ex¬
hilarating effect on the madam and
Elizabeth, for they could imagine no
reason for the man’s lying.

Mulek, trying to take her hand.
Elizabeth drew back, but did not

From behind a curtain a man’s voice
thundered out:
“Because, you dog, that lady is my
betrothed 1”
With the Avords the man leaped out,
and Dr. Mulek Avas felled to the floor.
He looked up aud saw the heroic
form of Count Orloff towering above
him.
