Suddenly from out the shadow of came a young and preposfl porch sessing man who raised his hat courteously. I think you arrived in Petersburg last evening? said he to "Wallace, m perfectly good English. The American stared at him. The stranger followed up liis question hv another: When you were about to enter f 8, n I .a n.l ped? Wallace started; lieliadbeen tliink-in- r of the lady of the fan. The evening before had been exceptionally warm lor September. In the glare of the hotel entrance, as he about to enter, a lady and was gentleman in evening dress passed by. The lady dropped her fan. The American stooped and picked it up. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen; nature and art had t, marvels for her. llerglittering encountered his, while a delicate eastern aroma emanating from her garments was almost intoxicating. There was a heightened bloom on her rounded cheek, a disclosure of white teeth, and her little gloved hand went out to take the fan. Another instant and her companion had grasped the toy from the American with so much rudeness that the latter looked up into his done eyes growling face. The lady laughed a low laugh, and bestow ing a quick glance at Wallace, moved on beside her escort, evidently hound for some grand entertainment. Wallace looked alter the two.

This should have appealed to him as odd, but Wallace wascurious to know how the matter would end. Though they had gone thus only a hundred yards or so, lie began to think he was making a tool of himself how did he know but there was some trickery at hand! The Russian knew all about his nationality, must likely know he was a stranger in the city, probably was not. unacquainted with the fact that he knew no one in tho place, and might not be ignorant of the bank totes in his pocket, and the diamonds he was carrying fi om Odessa, home fo his lair American fiancee.
