What a dev. er man you are!" she cried, her eyea sow bright and sparkling aa any dia mond. “And may I not be present, too?” "No, I think not With all due def erence I think 1 have a better Idea It Is quite unneceesary that the Jeweler should know too much of this business. You, In your rage, tr.lrht possibly say things that perhaps for the present had better remain quite aecret." •'Tours la the superior wisdom,” said she. "and I bow to It. And the Idea?" "Ahr the Idea Is that she must ohooee the alternative of being handed over at once to the police, or accompanying me to whatever address you may choose to give me, there to confront you, and either make a full confession or take the consequences. How does it strike you?" “Admirable! Admirable! You will bring her to the home of my governess, of course. I have told her all about you. Her nephew brought me here to. day—a nice lad—not much unlike your cousin In nppearance. anil I have been requested to oak you to dine with us at your very earliest.

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 rcrugnlse the handwriting?” 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 Is, do you not?” asked Frank. ”1 know that he Inherited the title of Baron Carl Slavlnsky through the Vienna, Oct. 11—'The prime minister this morning received from Sehoensu Castle tbe following telegram: "Now we may hope." This Is tbe first official Intimation tbat the Illness of Emperor Francis Josoph was really considered dnngerous. The emperor has apparently turned the corner. The, most reliable reports last evening atsted that he was decidedly better. Hla physicians after their visit announced that nts general condition was very favors, ble. The catarrh Is decreasing and the fe ver Is much less. The afternoon reports from Shoenbron Pestle were to the effect that the emperor's temperature had allghtly Increased daring the forenoon, tint his cough was looser and hla general condition more favorable. death of a cousin, and that the family la one of the oldest In Russia. Of hla 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 Identity as Nemo, the mysterious spy, most hated by the revolutionary par ty! "That document la now In the hands of our council In America, and now It Is not I but Carl Slavlnsky that must beware. His life Is not worth the cigar butt you threw away as I step ped In hore. The man musMcnve this country', and leave. It quickly, to aave himself." "All the more reason why we must act quickly." aald Frank.

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.” ENGLISH CAPITAL FOR GA. QUARRIES 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 op them, and can already boast of a $2,000,000 cement plant, stove foundry, brick plant, hosiery mill and slate works, besides several Industries now on foot. Advices have been received from England that parties will leave Llanberls, Wales, within the next ten days and reach Rockmart early In No vember for the purpose of operating quarries. What .has heretofore been refuse will be converted Into building blocks, fertilizer filler and paving mate, rial. The' Seaboard Air Line railway Is now making a survey for larger track age facilities Into the quarries, and It Is expected within a short time to have the new Industries well under way. member of the family?" “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, lerstand ninny thlni "Mueller knows the I Frank. "He knows that the mine can only be reached from above. He Is In possession of nn airship, of Reginald’s child, of one of the diamonds and a fourth of the map which he stole from my father In a manner of which I will tell you at nnother time. "If he Is the formidable apy you say he Is, he will know that hla life Is In danger and that he must flee the coun try at once. Being desperate and prob- ably short of funds, aa his purso was dropped In hi# flight when he stole the airship, he may make.one mad attempt to secure the diamonds and the por tions of the map, without which he can not hope to find even the opening In the Andes that leads to them. "He does not know that you have In trusted your portions of the document or the diamond to me, and he may at tempt your life to obtain them. I en treat you. Baroness, to be very careful. "I shall not forget." she said. “UntJ! tomorrow, then." Her hand was In Frank’s, he lifted It to his lips and an 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.” Continued in Tomorrow's Georgian.
