The doorman informed them that it would be impossible to see the baroness for some time to fome~that she had been brought in an hour before in a state of collapse and that her doctor and two nurses thet she would cause no further trouble. At two o'clock the next day, Bige- tow and Austrelitz presented them- selves at the Carleton and asked to see Madame Karsanakoff. They were imvited to come up, and Karsanakoff weceived them lying on the big couch fm her sitting room, propped up with dozens of finely embroidered pillows and covered with a white bearskin tug. Her hair was ioose in a dark silken cloud about her face. The room was Giled with Easter lilies in tall vases, and the air was heavy with their fragrance. “Forgive me that ! do not rise to @reet you.” she smiled. “Under this robe, I have nothing. In clothes, | find it very difficult to relax. Even in loose clothes. And today it is most impor- fant that J rest. For if | should not make a success tonight the word ‘would speed across the water to Paris ‘and my cateer would be very much hindered there. However, the rehear- se! went very well last night. Sit down. please . . . Mariushka told me you wished very much to see me last night?” “Yes,” answered Bigelow, “about that letter in the paper. You saw it, maturaily?” “Naturally.” replied Karsanakoff with @ faint smile in her eyes, “As @ matter of fact.” added Aus- trelitz. “you wrote it. didn’t you?” He drew out the facsimile of the fetter cut from the paper, the copy he had made of it on his own machine, anc the letterhead from a sheet of his stationery, and these he laid be- fore her on her knees She looked at them indifferently and raised her eyes to consider first one man and then the other. “Yes.” she said with a slight shrug, “1 did write it. Thet is quite true. And then—?” “You had met Vronski before that night, then?” asked Bigelow. “ft had seen the man who called himself Vronski.” “Did you come here because of him?” asked Bigelow. “We thought you might be an agent of your gov- ernment—if the statements made in that letter are true.” Karsanakof! laughed softly and called. “Mariushka Mariushka!” Mariushka came hurriedly to the door and Karsanakoff spoke to her apidiy in Russian Mariushka laughed but there was no mirth in her laughter—and with a brief reply in the same language—she withdrew. “The Only Way | Could Know’ “|/OU must forgive me.” said Kar- Y sanakoff with some compunction. “1 am very tude, but what you sug- gested was so funny | wished to share it with my maid That / should be an agent for Russia—! who have been rn exile since the revolution!

Karsanakoff looked at him in some amusement. “You ask.” she said, “but 1 think—my dear doctor—you already aie Hs Bs BREE 58 “You had an old score to settle with him, | think,” said Austrelitz. “It was not a néw grievance?” “No,” admitted Karsanakotf, “it was not a new grievance, | told you that 1 had never met him before, but that 1 had seen him once. | wil tell you how it ‘was I saw him. It was in Rus- sia when the revolution began. I was hild11 years old. He came into the — pat my father’s house, leading a mol drunken, half-crazy peas- ants, and driving our servants before him. My father was an old man and unarmed. He went to meet them as they stormed in, hoping to reason with them. But Cienkowitz did not wait for my father to speak. He had an axe in his hands and he struck my father down with it, crashing in his skull. “fy brother was standing be- side me on the stairs. We had been in bed, but the noise of their approach had awakened us. My brother was only five yéars older than 1 was, As my father fell, my brother rushed forward to kneel beside my father and lift his head; and Cienkowitz struck again with his axe and half severed my brother’s head. “1 saw these things with my own eyes. | saw his face—mad with sud- den power—exultant as he struck. ... And | never forgot it. Do you won- der? | can close my eyes now and see it as though it were still there before mel” ‘The Flight To Paris HE drew a long breath and inhaled. Neither man stirred.. Her eyes smoldering, her voice low, she went on presently: “I fainted:and-my nurse who was just behind: me,-caught me up in ‘her arms. and carried me up the stairs. No one tried to stop her. Cienkowitz was making a speech with one foot on my brother’s still quivering body, and the mob had begun to wreck and sack the castle. This 1 learned after- ward. .. When ! recovered conscious- ness, my nurse was dressing mein peasant clothes. |! wept and she told me | must be still or 1 would meet the same fate my father and brother had met. She smuggled me away un- der cover of the darkness. Other peasants‘belped her. Some great\no~ bles in those days ill-treated the peasants and the peasants hated them; but my father had been good to his peasants and they did what they could for me. “When we escaped from our prov- ince, my nurse passed me off as her child. 1 will not describe our flight in detail. It does not matter, now. . « . Eventually, we got across the border and traveled to Paris. My nurse feared for my safety if we remained in Rus- sia—for Cienkowitz nad learned af- terward tha’ | had been-an eye-wit- ness to the murders and be tried to ni me.” : She pressed out the end of her cigarette in an ash tray on the low stand beside her and lighted another. Neither Bigelow nor Austrelitz spoke. Their’ eyes did not leave her face. “In Paris, we met many other Rus- sian refugees. Some of them took us in. Eight of us lived in two rooms. .. We had fled in such haste we had brought nothing with us. We had to face the question of how to live. in the happier days before my mother died, she had engaged a ballet master for me, to develop my body gracefully and give me poise. She had no idea then that this training — which had been a fad of hers for the moment— was to be our salvation. 1 got a job in a ballet and earned enough to support us both—Mariushka and me. I took the name of Karsanakoff lest some agent of Cienkowitz might discover me. But Karsanakoff was not my name. My name was Catherine Alex- androvna’ Vronski.” (Copyright, 1987, Frederick Jackson) Karsanakoff tells how and why she shot Vronski, tomorrow. eeeeeees | York, noted ulptor, born at On Sundays, February 7 and {28, rain postponed the contests. ;On Feb. 14, Gardner’s lost, 6 to 4, and on the 21st they won, 6 jto 1. : In the first fracas Malgrat al- lowed only six hits.
