' "There was deadly inenaco ill his tone, mid tho nun headed westward down the htreet mid vanished in the distance. "And now a feeling akin to terror came over l'hil.

"At first ho walked rapidly, thou broke into a run, keeping in the mid dle of the street, mid heading for his rooms, lircathlcss ho dashed into his w ifo'H presence mid nervously bolted tho door behind hiai.

A highwayman, hav ing probably seen thoin, hud boldly confronted him. Tho reverend gen tleman being taken by surprise and being, moreover, a man of peao.', hud yielded them up under the muzzle of a revolver. Hut tho police hud clues which would lead to the detectiou of tho perpetrator of tho outrage. Tho robber was a htrikiugly handsome man, of tiuo presence and wore a full, blonde beard. Ho had been identified by tho street car conductor iih one who, accompanied by a well-dressed little lady, had ridden with him several timea before. Also, a niiiu answering to the same description, had been seen with tho same lady upou tho fair grounds. "This finished l'hil and ho wired ine at my hotel to coma to them. 1 found them shut up in their rooms. Ho wouldn't let his wife go to tho restaurant for her bieakf sr'. 1 had to arrange to have their meals brought to them. If ever a m iii's appearance could convict him, his would hue fsout him to the penitentiary. "I urged him to make a clean brea.it of tho whole matter, but ho would nut consent. lie said it would ruiu him. J '.ven if ho could escape criminal li ability, ho could not survive tho ridi cule which would follow. No, he in list avoid delect ion. "The iiiHt tiling was to return tho property. I packed it iu a box mnl untiled it to tlio police department. Tho receipt of t li its only called out a fresh deluge of newspaper comments. It was migely iiuuoiiueod that the thief, iueseeing tho impossibility of escap ing hitch!, had made reparation in a vain etl'ort to delude tho detectives; but thut he was known uud would bo apprehended within twenty-four hours." "Why didn't ho go home?" "I urged him to ilo ho mid ko did his wife, but ho imagined thut every paper iu thu country would bo full of tho htory, mid that lun presence thoro would HUggest a likeness which would lead to dlHCovery. Ho was liku a hunted hare. Ho dared not Httr from his room. Kvery voice in the house was hoiiio one inquiring for biin or coming to arrest him. It was pitiable. At length, iu spite of our rouion HtrniiocH, ho decided to go abroad till tho thing blew over. Ho trumped up uu exciiHo for his wife to give at homo for his midden trip.

A hwitrui of maids are busy waiting on the Daimio, fetching ami preparing what pupil and teacher need. At the appointed hour the profotsot makes his appearance. Without saying a word, mid with the most funeral countenance, ho approaches bis pupil. A white napkin covers his mouth, ho that his breath cannot offend tho little prince. The Japanese are very hciim tivo in this regiiard. Alter exhausting every possible form of Hileiit greeting, tho professor nits down, rules, tho pa per and begins tho instruction. When the D.iimio has scribbled over Heveral of the linen, it is tho duty id' tho te.ieh er to go into raptures over tho won derful talent of tho youngster. Tears of joy must till his i-yes, but all must bo done in hih nce, not a word must be spoken to the D.iimio.

In order to remove tho impression thut Kiissiini ' exiles nro subjected to very barbarous treatment, Hurry do Wliidt has travelled to Siberia, where ho visited tho prisons. On his return to lioudou ho made a statement to Heater's Agency, which statement is now freely circulated iu the Knglihh papers. Mr. DeWindt confines his remarks to the Akiitui prison, which ho describes us typical. Ho Hiiyw : Tho rooms nro large, 5l)x'J7 mid hold from twenty to thirty men ea di. Tliey are well lighted by two kerosene lamps, which nro kept burning all night, are provided w ith a bell, uud 1 have even found the cells decorated with jugs holding llowers gathered by the prisoner ou their way to and from the mines, a mile distant. There tire eight punishment cells, 12x11, very dark, and ventilated from the roof, but those are used only in extreme cusos of mutiny, mid even thou old.' by a niglted elder from the govern or of the district who lives at a con siderable distance. The period of eoliliiicineiit iu these cells vary from twenty-four hours to one month tho inmates being then allowed only bread and water. Dark us these cells uro they lire fur better than the dark cell at Newgate. This will (.dvo a fair idou of a Siberian prison, which will com pare favorably with similar establish ments iu F.uglniid, "The popular impression is thut gangs of men mid women are marched through Siberia iu midwinter chained together, many dying by the roadside, uud that tho victims of nameless atroc ities until they are released by death. Now, it ia only just that this impres sion should be removed. As I reached thu prisons quite unexpectedly no preparation could have been made for tho inspection which I proposed. In fact, I rang up the governor of Akiitui prison ut two o'clock in the morning uud was kIiowu over the prison in the middle of the night. There were at Akatui 1,10s piis .iters twciity-.sevcii of thoin politic il. Of the criminals, tifty-Hoven were in chains, and of tho political, throo. These chains weighed seven pounds. They are clamped to the ankles and secured by a thong to tho waist, no haudchain being em ployed. Tho chains are always taken oil' during the hours of work iu the mines. Kvery prisoner works in the silver mines. The convicts rise at live a. in., and after breakfast, consisting of porridge uud black bread, march iu gangs to the mine, smoking mid sing ing by tho way. "With the exception that tho rungs ot the ladders by which the interior of the mine is reached are defective, the engineering of the mines is good ami the conditions of work uro ex net ly the same us in Mugludi mines except that le-swork is done. At noon the men have their chains replaced and maieh buck to prison, where they have dinner, consisting of soup, uud time times a week meat as well, kwus, or spruce beer, of which they tiro allowed an unlimited supply a much b.-tter .'ileal than is supplied iu Kuglish con vict establishments. After dinner the men light their cigarettes or pipes mid march back to tho mines, and wot unt.i 7 l. in., when tltev return to prison for supper, consisting of gruel, black bread and tea.
