Continwed from sizth page. | he was clearly in a state of great ex- citement, ‘“‘Joy and sorrow, Ingram."” [ he cried; *I soarcely know whether I | should laugh or p. Her take | this letter and read for yourself,” and | he fell back on the pillow with the et i Bk iR A e grasped in his hand 1 took it from him, and was just commencing to examine it, when he again stopped me. “Does not the Government steamer sail to-day for Batavia?”’ “Yes at two o'cloc “‘and it is now past one.’ | “‘Go off and get some tako passage to Batavia, the letter, read it, and give it to Mras. Van Dusen. Come back with the steamer, or I shall go mad with ex- peetation.” He guessed my thoughts, *T'm all right, Ingeam,” le said, I shall soon be well. The letter will explain all. But be off, or you will miss the steamer.” T saw it was past 11 o'clock, shook him by the hand, and with a “‘God bless you!" left the room abruptly, for 1 saw that that was the best course, In half an hour T was on board, just as the paddles commenced to re\w:}\'h; and then I sat down to read the letter, which till then I had not time to look at. It was a letter from the family soli- citor at home, announcing, 1 the first place, the death of Harley's father, which occurred somewhat suddenly, and of which more particulars were to be sent by the next mail, In the meantime, the writer stated, he hastened, inaccordance with a promise which he had made to the dying man, to send Harley the sealed packet in- closed which was to be opened by him only. I turned to the packet now un- sealed, and road its contents. It was dated more than a year before th time. I will give the part which so excited Harley: ‘‘Poor Mrs. Jones is dead; and on her deathbed she sent for me and made a confession of the most singu- lar kind--to me a most distressin revelation. You are not my son, as have so long fondly supposed. You are Mrs. Jones' son. To me this is a reat sorrow; for though I love you, 53&1' John, the same as ever, still the fact remains that I, who was so proud of my boy, am childless. Mrs. .]lunus' confession is this: My fatherallowed her £100 a year for taking charge of my son. When I heard of father's death, T wrote to her from India that, as the boy was growing older. I would make it £150, Soon after this she went with her own child and mine to Broadstairs for a weck or two. There both childien were taken ill with scarlet fever. My boy died —you lived. As she sat look- ing at him after he was laid out, she remembered that with him her income died too; for what little money she had at her hus- band’s death was all gone. Then the idea of giving out that her own child had died occurred to her. She wasa stranger there, where none knew her. At this moment the landlady looked in and asked her the full name of the child, saying kindly-that her husband would get the certificate of death from the surgeon, and call with it at the registrar’s oftice, which would save her trouble. On the impulse of the mo- ment she replied: ‘John William Jones.” The landlady wrote it down, and when she had gone Mrs. Jones would have given worlds to recall her words, But she had committed her- self to the false representation, and it was too late. ‘‘The child was buried; and then the fear of discovery preventing her from returning home, she was deter- mined to go aud settle in some place where she was entirely unknown, She had previously lived in Cheshire, and choosing a distant point, she removed to Hastings, writing to her friends that 1 had made her residence there a condition of her retaining charge of my child, There was a certain simi- larity both in feature and in complex- ion between my boy and you, which favored the deception. I had never seen either of you; and after a year or two, if any of heracquaintance—whom in the mean time she should avoid— should see you, there would be but little chance of their discovering the difference. ‘‘My dear John, notwithstanding what has happened, I feel that you are still mine—my son in all but the name; and, to enable youto keep your surname legally, I have executed a deed making you agift of the Perton estate, on condition that you retain the namo of Harley, ‘I have been aware of this changed relationship for a few months; and, as I could not bear the thought of sever- ing the ties that had so long bound us together as father and son, came to this resolution—a weak one, perhaps, but such as you will readily pardon - to keep this secret from you till after my death, which T knew from the state of my health, could not be far distant, and would probably be sud- den. When you receive this, there- fore, it will be after I am gone, and when you can only think of me, I hope, as one who, if not your father after the flesh, has been a father to you n spirit, in act, and in affection, Cranves T, HarLey," I read the letter with strange feel. ings, in which 1 scarcely knew wheth. er surprise or pleasure ‘was predomi. nant. I could also now understand | John's agitati for if he had thus | lost cne who had been to hima fath he had becn at the same tiune deliv ered from a sorrow which would haye been life long in its effects, both on him and the woman he loved, On my arrival at Batavia I hastened to Mrs, Van Dusen’s and asked to se her alone. She was, as the reader | may imagine, quite overcome at my uaexpected intelligence. 1 found that she had confessed the whole circum- stance to her daughter, My con | seience told me it was th ght course to pursue, though dear John meant kindly: but I could not be contented while deceiving my child,” In a day or two the steamer was to | return to Singapore, and brief as the |time for prepya‘ion was, both Su- sette and Mrs, Van Dusen ac ompa- I nied me in her, With their care and nursing Harley soon recovered health and strength; and then, after again going to Batavia to settle Mrs. Van Dusen's affairs previous to her bidding a final farewell to Java, they all three ssiled for England, |t NIHILISTIC VENGEANCE. True Account of the Blowing Up of the Czar'’s Train at Mos- cow in 1879 From the Story of Hartman in New York ald The whole night we spent in fi a large copper cylinder, seven fu long and one-half foot in_diamet with dynamite. used to dynamite at our factory St. Petersburg, still now 1 was una to bear with it. Y and all my « rades w attacked with violent | headaches, giddiness, sickness nausea. T bore up as Tong as 1 coul, but at 4 o'clock in the morning | came insensible, fell to the grou and was carried off to bed. Soj DAY, AUGUST 6, 1381, Though I had ot | corpse We had all are stuck crosswise into the boards, Eight revolvers lay underneath, By the side of this pile a lurid flame—al cohol with salt—-burns, casting a ghastly, unearthly light on all the pale, emaciated figures sitting around €| the table. The effeot of this flama | may truly be called horrible, It gives o the face a livid hue as that of a naturally suffered much by our mining work. Our faces were deeply furrowed with wrinklos—the sleepless nights, the mstant anxiety and suspense had | loft their marks on us. And now, in that ghastly light, the table seemed to be surrounded, not by the living men but by corpses who lad arisen from the grave for « midnight festival, The Perovsky alone bore all to:the cnd and worked all night until the wl linder was properly tilled with dy namite, The next day we placed t cylinders into the shaft at its furtl end, armed them with capsules, wires were fastened to each mue | the other ends of which | communicated with a spiral Rumkof we had hidden in a large trunk full of linen and clothes in Perovsky's bed room. Thence another pair of wires communicated with a commutator placed together with a Grene galvan- tic battery in that angle of the barn overlooking the railway, which I have mentioned at the outset of my narra- tiye. Here asmall loophole was cut out in the wall, whence one could overlook both railway tracks. After trying the wires several times we filled the pit underneath the house as well as wo could, nailed fast all the boards of the floor in the first story and were now at length ready for action. On the 16th there came a dispatch from our agent at Simpheropol telling us that the czar had left for Moscow He constantly changes trains, ca and routes. The published plan of his journey is false. Three imperial trains, exactly similar, are sent off in various directions, This was what our agent telegraphed us. But in or- der to give the reader an idea of the difficulties wo had to conquer I must sketch in a fow words the manner of traveling adopted by the Czar, suchas our various agents described it. First of all, as I havo already mentioned, two routes were drawn out by the Ministry of the Impcrial Court— a false one, published in the papers, and | true one, held in the profoundest secrecy. Nevertheless the latter was well known to us. The newspapers| were forbidden to publish anything | about the czar’s journey beyond what | ng eared in the Official Messenger. While the czar was passing through the tnluqnph district, the operators in that district were forbidden to for- ward any private messages. Dur- ing the passage of the czar's train the | Instruments of death before us, the cathly hue of our faces— all this spoke of the awve; only the cyes umed and glittered with a greenish light, perhaps still more ghastly to look at than the immovable corpse liko paleness of the faces, The flame burned unsteadily, send Ing long, dancing shadows on the walls and ceilings, and this added still to tho ghastliness of the picture, I shut my cyes and distorted my face in the same horrible convulsive grim- ace I had seen on the faco of my friend Osinsky and three others whose hang- ing 1 had witnessed, *‘Stop that?” cried my neighbor, clinching my arm, “Itis too horri- ble.” Seeing what impression our ghastly ‘fexperiments” produced on the others, I was involuntarily caught myself by the same feeling. The wine was poured out into the glasses, we drank to the success of our plan and began in a subdued voice our beautiful revo- lutionary hymn - matchless in its simple passion, in its glowing feeling for liberty, in its deep sorrow for the people’s suf § Tho morning of the eventful day dawned. The two who w ac- complish the explosion we the Kuulu. They were Sophie Perov- sky and another. " The former had to observe the approach of the imperial train and to give the signal for closing the chain. The latter was posted in the barn near the communicator and had to close the galvanic chain on hearing the signal. Who was that other one? The Rus- sian government. does not know who he was, and I do not consider it ex- pedient to dispel its ignorance. More- over, I fully expect to return to Rus- sia some time, probably soon. I may then fall into the hands of the czar's police (though I doubt it) and should prefer therefore at present to be re- ticent on this one point. The mo- ment of the explosion has come, The train speeds along tho line. The signal 1s given, the chain_locked, and stations were cleared of all persons|at the same moment a deafening re- not belonging to the railway officials. | port is heard.

If he stopped in some town by the way he always sent on his open carriage with his coachman, his doz and his second self (a certain General Annen- koff, who resembled the late czar in a most striking way), while he himself took unostentatiously a seat in one of the following carriages, by the side of one of the generals, Thus it happened at Kharkoff, for instance, that the troops rendered mulitary honers to, and the crowd cheered the carriage in which but the dog and and the cook of the czar were seated. On each side of the track soldiers and police officors are posted at a hundred yards dis- tance from one another with the order of urrentinfi anybody who should try to approach nearer than' seven hun- dred feot to the rails. At night the whole line is lighted up with torches and burning weodpiles. Two hours before the passage of the imperial train the engineers of the road in- spect themselves the track and ex- amino with their own hands all the switches. Such were the extraordi- nary measures of precaution which the ‘“beloved father” was hkinq to travel among his “‘dear children?” Neither did we neglect to take such precau- tions as we deem advisable. h of us always carried a pistol and a dag- ger on his person. Before the en- trance te our house we laid a mine which must have blown up any one who entered with any hostile purposes. Far from this house, in the center of | h the city, we had got rooms where we could hide for some time without dan- ger of detection, The question now suggested itself to us what was to be done if the Czar should change trains at some small station beyond the point where our last agent is posted In a moment all 1s con- fusion, Peoplo runout of the heuses, shouts of terror, hysteric sobbing of the women fll the street, policemen are speeding from all sides to the spot. The whole district scems to be in a craze of fright. In the meantime Sophie Perovsky and the ‘‘somebody” cross the yard to its furtherest end, pass through an opening in the railing, which has been prepared beforehand, into the neigh- oring yard, then through the door- way info a street situated on the side of the houses opposite to the railroad, and saunter off quietly into the city, where they enter the safe place of con- cealment 1 have already mentioned. When the police entered Sukhovu- koff"s house they found a burning can- dle on the table, two empty wine bot- tles and cight glasses nml a large black cat mewing in a corner of the room, The fire in the stove was still burning, Everywhere the signs of life—but life itself was gone. On the same day Sophio Perovsky and her companion left Moscow for St. Petersburg ur the night express. It was . then only that they heard of the failure of their enterprise. The czar had been more cunning than they. He had changed trains a few miles before he reached Moscow, and this had saved him—for the time. The day after the arrival of Sophie Per- vosky and her companion at St. Petersburg the czar too reached the capital. A large crowd had gathered on the Nevesky Prospectto havea look at the ‘‘Imperial hare,” asl eard somebody in the crowd desig- nate His Imperial Mng'*out{. Nearly the whole garrison of Bt. Petersburg was under arms lining the streets from the railway depot to the winter palace. Tn the crowds there were in- numerable spies. Bnt we, too, were there, and nobody knew us. Not far and within the limits of the tole- graph district of Moscow, 8o that no message to that effect could reach us any more, The only way of surmounting this difficulty was tosend a man with a telegraphic apparatus to the last station before Muucuw, at which the imperial train was to stop, to cut the telegraph wires and to di- rect one of them to our house, so that a message from our agent might reach usdirectly,. Webought an apparatus, accordingly, but the plan was neyer- theless abandoned, ‘the time being now too short, Thus, there were three flaws in our plan-the wine ended seven feet short of where it ought have ended, there was not enough dynamite in the mine, and an error in the train was possible, And now the 18th of November 1d style)the day betore the explosion, as come, To-morrow! To-morrow anevent shall happen which shall, perhaps, be the fimt step toward frec our unhappy Russia from bar barous despotism, To-mor; the desiiny of Russia and our own 1s to be decided. The latter circumstance is certainly but of secondary importance, Yet we all wish to take leave of each other; perhaps we meet now for the last time; perhaps our next meetin may be on the scaffold. ‘‘Therefore let us celebrate the ter- mination of our work and say good- bye to each other cheerfully "with a bottle of wine,” one of us suggests.

Two mon bers of the administrative council on their way home from the south to the capital, are our guests to-night. In the middle of the table eight dagyers from where I stood 1 heard a peasant telling to another the story of our mining enterprise. Virtue Acknowledged.
