I ' \fl Shadowed By RUTH GRAHAM During that period when the late Russian revolution was brewing Sonia Xatrovicb, a young wife of twenty, lived in St Petersburg at her home with her husband. They were both, members of a secret propaganda embracing many persons whose object It was to scatter printed matted intended to awaken the people to their wrongs and incite them to rebellion. There were a number of depositories for this literature, and the home of the Katrovlcha was one of them. The police learned of the whereabouts of one of these depositories and, as was their custom, instead of raiding it at once, set a spy upon It with a view to learning what persons went there, assuming that all visitors were members of the propaganda. One morning Mme. Katrovich went to this depository that the police were watching to take some revolutionary literature there. The place was a single room on the third floor of a building occupied for various purposes. Having finished her visit, Sonla opened the door suddenly and just in time to see % a man dart ap the stairs leading to the peit story above. She did not see bis face nor his clothes sufficiently to mark him, but she knew Instinctively what had happened. The depository hud hw>n discovered bv the police and she would be shadowed to her home. Retaining her presence of mind, she continued on her way, knocking at different doors as though looking for some one. Receiving a negative an-? swer to her question, she passed down and out of the building. Either she must outwit the spy or both she and her husband must spend the rest of their lives in Siberia. She must not go home, and she must contrive to make her husband aware of \ what had happened. To gain time she ^ visited certain shops. The first shop she entered a man followed her Inside and looked over articles with the pretense of buying. Sonia suspected him. but was not snre that he was her shad- # ower till he followed her Into another store. After Sonia had visited several stores she felt at liberty to enter one kept by one Petrof, a member of the propa- i gnnda, without necessarily betraying him. Calling on mm ror some gioves, she while trying them on informed him of the situation that he might at once get word of the danger to her husband and he might remove the literature. When she left the store the man who watched her approached her. "Conduct me to your home," he said. "What means this?" she asked.^af fectiug surprise. After awhile he admitted the truth, and she told him that she had gone to the building for the purpose of finding a former servant of hers, but had been misinformed as to the address. "I have no objection to taking you to my home." she said, "and I will easily prove to you that I am loyal to the government But I warn you that I have some very good friends who are Influential with the government and I will not be put to any inconvenience." At this the man assumed a more respectful manner and lifted bis hat po litely. "I am looking for a certain kind of goods." continued Sonla, "that I need and shall be oollged to visit one or two stores, then I will take you home with pleasure." Souia, being of the better class, was enabled to assume an importance that affected the official. She went into several more shops and kept clerks hunting for the goods she wished. At last she feigned to find exactly what she wanted and on paying for it gave the address of her home, to which it was to be seut. The police official noted the location, pricking up his ears as she gave it. It would not suit Sonia's game to keep the man too long. She must take some risk. It was nearly two hours after she had left the menage with Petrcf that she told her captor that she was ready to go to her home, and she led him there in a perfectly straight course. But it was all she could do to bear up under the suspense. If her husband had not received her message there was that in store for them far worse than death. As she went up the steps of her house she almost fainted, but with an effort she opened the front door. No one was to be seen. She opened a door leading into another room where her husband sat at a desk writing. "Well, dear," he said without looking up rrom nis wora, "you uuve occu ^uug quite awhile." Then, raising his eyes and seeing his wife's attendant, he appeared surprised. Sonia knew that had he not been warned he would have doubtless turned pale. "Yes," she said. "I have been delayed in finding the goods I need for my gown." She then explained her having an attendant who needed to be satisfied | that they were loyal to the cs,ar. "That is very easy," said her husband. "I am at this moment writing a paper on the necessity of the Russian people remaining loyal to the government" He handed the unfinished paper to the official and bade him search the house, from which everything incrim-i inatlng had been removed. But so well had the game been played that the officer was satisfied and went I away without taking any further ao J tlon.
