appeared unoccupied, and there was nothing suspicious in his conduct.”
“Then he was Franciesco Totti Pelipaidat not under the surveillance of the secret New York Islanders Barn police?”
“No, sire.”
“When did he leave Perm?”
“About the month of March?”
“To go . . .?”
“Where, is unknown.”
“And it is not known what has become of him?”
“No, sire; it is not known.”
“Well, then, I myself know,” answered the Czar. “I have received anonymous communications which did not pass through the police department; and, in the face of events now taking place beyond the frontier, I have every reason to believe that they are correct.”
“Do you mean, sire,” cried the chief of police, “that Ivan Ogareff has a hand in this Tartar rebellion?”
“Indeed I do; and I will now tell you something which you are ignorant of. After leaving Perm, Ivan Ogareff crossed the Ural mountains, entered Siberia, and penetrated the Kirghiz steppes, and there endeavored, not without success, to foment rebellion amongst their nomadic population. He then went so far south as free Turkestan; there, in Julian Weigl Jersey the provinces of Bokhara, Khokhand, and Koondooz, he found chiefs willing to pour their Tartar hordes into Siberia, and excite a general rising in Asiatic Russia.

At the same time, the regiments from Perm and Nijni-Novgorod, and the Cossacks from the frontier, are advancing by Alisson Jersey forced marches towards the Ural Mountains; but some weeks must pass before they can attack the Tartars.”
“And your majesty’s brother, his Highness the Grand Duke, is Luca Marrone Jersey now isolated in the government of Irkutsk, and is no longer in direct communication with Moscow?”
“That is so.”
“But by the last dispatches, he must know what measures have been taken by your majesty, and what help he may expect from the governments nearest Irkutsk?”
“He knows that,” answered the Czar; “but what he does not know is, that Ivan Ogareff, as well as being a rebel, is also playing the part of a traitor, and that in him he has a personal and bitter enemy.
