Bultman, AlUl 1TER S C. jheCourier Of the Czar By JULES VERNE [CONM-NrtED.] tered over the province of Amur an i th(se in the government of Irkuts could not arrive in sulticient number to arrest the Tartar colinns. Beside since Irkutsk could not possibly eseal being invested. it was of the utio: importance to put *h town in a pos tion to sustain a siege of some length. Those works were begun on the da on which Tomsk fell into the hands < the Tartars. At the tamne time as th: last news the grand duke learned tb the emir of Bokhara and the allit khans were directing the movement i person, but what he did not know wn that the lieutenant of those barbarou chiefs was Ivan Ogareff, a Russian ofi cer whom he himself had cashiered. From the first, as has been seen, tb inhabitants of the province of Irkuts 1 ad been ordered to abandon the towr and villages. Those who did not see refuge in the capital were compelled 1 retire beyond Lake Baikal, to whel the invasion would not likely extend il ravages. The crops of corn and forag were requisitioned for the town. an that last rampart of Russian power i the extreme east was prepared to r< sist for some time. Irkutsk, founded in 1GI1, is situate at the confluence of the Irkut and ti Angara, on the right bank of the rive Two wooden bridges, built on piles an so arranged as to open the whole widt of the river for the necessities of nav gation, joined the town with its ou skirts which extended along the le I bank. The outskirts were abandone the bridges destroyed. The passage < the Angara, which was very wide a that place, would not have been poss ble under the fire of the besieged. 1i the river could be crossed either abov or below the town, and as a cons, quence Irkutsk was in danger of bp~u attacked on the east side. which r rampart protected. It was, then, in works of fortifncatiu that the hands were first employce They worked day and night. The gran duke found a spirited population supplying that need, and afterward I found them most brave in its defens Soldiers, merchants, exiles, peasant all devoted themselves to the comma safety. Eight days before the Tartai had appeared on the Angara rampart of earth had been raised. A moa flooded with the waters of the Angar: had been dug between the inner an outer wall of the fortificatiou. Tl city could no longer be taken by a su< den assault. It must be invested an besieged. The third Tartar column-that whic had ascended the valley of the Yen sei-appeared in sight of Irkutsk on tl: 24th of September. It immediately o< cupied the abandoned outskirts. which the very houses had been di stroyed in order not to impede the ai tion of the archduke's artillery, whic was unfortunately very insufficient. The Tartars organized themnselve while waiting the arrival of t.he tw other columns which were commande by the emir and his allies. The junction of these divers corn took place on the 25th of September the camp of Angara, and all the arm: except the garrisons left in the princ pal conquered towns, was conc'1ntrate under the orders of Feofar-Khan. The passage of the AngarJ havin been regarded by Ivan Ogareff as in practicable before Irkutsk, a stron body of troops crossed at some versi down the river on some bridges< boats which had been established fC that purpose. The grand duke did n< attempt to oppose that passage. E could only have harassed them withot preventing it, not having any fielt pieces at his disposal, and this is ti reason be remained cooped up In I kutsk. Ivan Ogareff, a clever engineer. wt certainly able to direct the operatiol of a regular siege, but he had not tU material to carry forward his oper: tions quickly. So he had hoped to su prise Irkutsk, the end of all his effort One can see that things had turne out otherwise than he had reckonei On the one hand, the march of the Ta tar army delayed by the battle< Tomsk; on the other, the rapidity wit which the works of defense had bee carried on by the grand duke. F< these two reasons his projects had fai ed. Hie found himself therefore undt the necessity of carrying on a regult siege. Meanwhile by his advice the emir a tempted twice to take the town at tI price of a great sacrifice of men. E3 threw the soldiers against the earti works which seemed to present son weak poinits, but the two assaults wel repelled with the greatest courage. TI grand duke and his officers did n< spare themselves on that occasio1 They led the civil population to tU ramparts. Civilians and mujiks di their duty remarkably well. At tI second assault the Tartars had succeei ed in forcing one of the gates of ti town. A fight took place at the b ginning of the principal street, the Ba chaia, which is two versts In lengt and terminates at the banks of the Ai gara. But the Cossacks, the gendarme and the citizens opposed to them strong resistance, and the Tartars ha to return to their positions. ivan Ogareff thought then of tryin to win by treachery what force cou] not give him. His project, it is know: was to make his way alone into tl town and present himself before ti grand duke with some plausible ta to win his confidence and when the in ment came to deliver one of the gat< to the besiegers; afterward, that don to glut his vengeance on the brother< the czar. The gypsy, who had~ accompanic him to the camp of the Angara, urgE im to put this project Into execution And, indeed, it was necessary to a< without delay. The Russian troops the government of Irkutsk were marc: ing to the relief of Irkutsk. They we: concentrating on the higher waters< the Lena and marching up the valac They would surely arrive before si days. It was necessary, then, that I kutsk should be delivered up by treacd ey before six days. Ivan Ogareff did not hesitate any lor One evening, the 2d of October. council of war was being helId in th large room of the governor general' palace. It was there the grawl duk resided. This palace overlooked for a gre:1 distance the course of the river. Frot its front windows one could pereeir the Tartar camp, and had the Tartat po~sessed artilfery of a longer rang they could have renderced it uninihal The grandi duke, Gpne'ral Voranzoff and the governor of 1ie town. the head merchant, with whom had been joined a itumber of superior olict rs. had just pas.-ed divers resolutions. "antleme. a the :,ranld duke. "you knew eXacitly our situation. I have a firm hope that we shall be able to hold out until the arrival of troops from Iakoutsk. We shall then know well how to drive away these barbar ous hordes, and it will not be my fault' If they don't pay dearly for this inva sion of Russian territory." "Your highness knows that we can rely on the whole population of Ir kutsk," replied General Voranzoff. d "Yes," said the grand duke, "and I ' render honage' to its patriotism. Thank s God, it has not as yet suffered fromn the horrors of :,n (p:demic or a famine, and e I have reason to think it will escape t them. But at the ramparts I could not help admiriug their courage. I trust the chief 'of the merchants hears uiy y words, and I beg him to report them as f such." t "I thank your highness In the name t of the town," answered the chief of the ( merchants. "May I dare to ask you i when you expect at latest the arr:val s of the army of relief?" s "In six days at most." answered the i- grand duke. "A sharp and courageous emissary has been able to penetrate e into the town this morning, and he has k informed me that 50,000 Russians are s advancing by forced marches under the orders of General Kissely. They were : two days ago on the banksof the Lqpa, e at Kirensk, and now neither cold nor s snow will prevent their arrival. Fifty e thousand good troops, taking the 'ar I tars on the flank. would soon relleve I us." - "I would add," said the chief of t'ae merchants, "that the day on which a your highness shall order a sortie we e shall be ready to execute your orders." . "Very well, sir," answered the grand di duke. "Let us wait until the leading h I columns appear on the heights, and we - will crush the invaders." - Then, turning to General Voranzoff, "We will visit tomorrow," said he, "the , works on the right bank. The Angara f will soon become icebound, and per t haps the Tartars will be able to cross -it." t "Will your highness permit ine to ( make an observation?" said the chief of the merchants. "Make it, sir." "I have seen the temperature fall many a time to 30 and 40 below zero, E and the river has been filled with float ing pieces of ice without being entirely d frozen. This is owing no doubt to tae 1 rapidity of the current. If, then, the e Tartars have no other means of cross ing the river, I can assure your high . ness they cannot possibly cross in that n1 manner." The governor general con s firmed this assertion. ' "It is a very fortunate circumstance," - answered the grand duke. "Neverthe - less let us be prepared for every emert i gency." C Then, turning to the bead of the po I- lice, he asked him: I "Have you nothing to say to me?" "I have to place before your high Ii ness," said the head of the police, "a -petition which has been addressed to 2 you." -"By whom?" f"By the exiles of Siberia, who, as -your highness knows, are to the num -ber of 500 In this city." h The political exiles, scattered all over the province, had indeed been concen Strated at Irkutsk from the commence 0 ment of the invasion. They had obey ed the order to rally at the town and to abandon the villages where they ex a ercised different professions. Some twere doctors, others professors, either at the Japanese school or at the school -of navigation. From the beginning the grand duke, like the czar, trusting to their patriotism, had armed them, and he had found in them brave defenders. - "What do the exiles ask for?" said Sthe grand duke. -. S"They ask your highness' permis slon," answered the head of the police, r "to form a special corps and to lend the t sortie." C "Yes," said the grand duke, with an temotion which he did not seek to con - ceal, "these exiles are Ruse~ans, and it e is indeed their right to fight fo' their country." "I can assure your bighness," said s the governor general, "that we have no sbetter soldiers." e "But they must have a leader," said - the grand duke. "Who shall he be?" -"Would your highness like to have . one," said the head of the police. "who has distinguished himself on many oc i. casions?" -"Is he a Russian?" f "Yes, a Russian of the Baltic proy. 1 inces." 2 "What is his name?" r "Wassill Feodor." [- That exile was the father of Nadia. r. Wassili Feodor, as is known, exer r cised at Irkutsk the profession of a doctor. He was an educated and char - itable man and at the same time a maa of the greatest courage and patriotism. When he was not occupied with thi - sick, he was engaged In organizing re sistance. It was he who had united his e companions in exile in common action. The exiles, up to that time scattered t among the population, had borne them selves in battle In such a manner as to draw the attention of the grand duke. In several sorties they had paid with their blooi! tueir debt to noly Russia holy indeed and adored by her children. Wassili Feodor had conducted himnself, -heroically. On several occasions his name had been mentioned as the bray h est of the brave, but he had asked neI Sther for graces nor favors, and when s the exiles formed a special corps lie had no idea they would choose hiui as their leader. When the head of the police had pronounced that name be gfore the grandl duke, the latter replied dthat it was not unknown to him. "Indeed," answered General Voran e soff, "Wassili Feodor is aman of valor eand courage. Ills influence over his e companions has always been very great." s"''Iow long has he been at lrkutsk Y' asked the grand duke. If"Two years." "And his conduct?" "His conduct," answeredl the head dof the police, "is that of a man wi~o submits to the special la ws under t which lie lives." "General," answvered the grand duke'. "have the goodness to present himt in 'e mediately." IfThe orders of the grand duke were r.executed, and a halt' hour had not paso Sed before W\assili F"eodor was imrc duced into his prtesence. He wvas a man some forty years old or more, tall, with a sad andl severe countenance. One felt that all his life was summ'd up in this one word, struggle, and that lie ind struggl and suffered all his life. Ilis traits re minded one r'emar'kably of those of hit daughter, Nadia Feodor. More than any other thing the 'iartar invasion had cut him in his dear'est af Sfection and ruined the last ihope (of 1'that father, exiled to a distance ofr more than 8,000 versts fr'om his naltive' place. A letter had informed him of the death of his wife and at the same' JOYCE ~ ,8ATTERY' JOYC E F. W. WAGENER, PRES Wh'o had 5btainied from the government ermission to rejoin him at Irkutsk. Nadia haa to leave Rtiga on the 10th f July. The invasion was on the 15th. f at that time Nadia had crossed the. frontier, what had become of her in the( idst of the invaders? One can eon-( elve how this unhappy father must ave been devoured with anxiety, since 1 from that time he had received no ews of his daughter. Wassili Feodor in the presence of the rand duke bowed and waited to be in errogated. "Wassili Feodor," said to him the rand duke, "your companions have( sked to form a picked corps. Do yout now that in that corps they must fght to tbe last man?"-} "They know it." answered Wassili eodor. - "They wish you for leader." "I, your highness?" "Do you consent to put yourself at ~heir'head?" "Yes, If the good of Russia requires t." "Captain Feodor," sald the grand uke, "you are no longer an exile." "I thank your highness. But am 1 to ommand those who still are exiles?' "They are so no longer!" . It was the pardon of all his compan-j ons in exile, now his companions inj rms, which the brother of the czar I ranted to hilm! ,J Wassili Feodor pressed with emotion} he hand 'vhich the grand duke held ot to him, and he left the room. The latter turned then toward the of fiers. "The czar will not refuse to accept 4 he letter of pardon which I am draw ng upon him," said he, smiling. "We . eed heroes to defend the capital of 4 iberia, and I have jiust now made 4 sme." This pardon of the exiles of Irkutsk as indeed an act of 'vise justice and * ise policy..C Night had now come on. Across the t indows of the palace shone the fires I f the Tartar camp and far beyond the I Lngara. The river was full of floating ( locks of ice, some of which were stop ed by the first piles of the ancient ooden bridges. Those which the cur ent held in the channeL. floated down ith great rapidity. Thus it was evi ent, as the chief of the merchants had bserved, that the Angara could scarce y freeze along the whole of its surface. hus the defenders of Irkutsk need not ear the danger of being assailed on hat side.4 Ten o'clock had just struck. The rand duke was about to dismiss his ficers and retire to his apartments when a kind of uproar was heard out side the palace. Almost immediately the door of the( oom opened, an aid-dc-camp appeared nd advanced toward the grand duke. "Your highness," said he, "a courier rom the czar!" [To BE CONTINUED.] Why She Was Silent. A very silent old woman was once sked why it was she had so little to , ay. She replied that when she was a young girl she was very ill and could ot talk for a long time.
