f "h Varenka Arkadyevna < ? * ' (Original.] One morning several years ago two young men?Turovtsuln and Pronski ? were sittlug in Dronski's room in Warsaw, Itusslan I'oluiul, bntetiing revo- ' 1 lutlon. Suddenly there wore footsteps j , on the stairs and In another moment 1 the door was thrown open and the p > ' , lice rushed in. Turovtsuin nodded f toward Pronski ami the police arrest- | 1 ed him. Ah they *ere inking him i 1 away lie reproached Turovtsuin with 1 having betrayed him. whe.Vupon ill ' latter remarked coolly that there was I* no l?etrayHl, slnee he was simply d >ia4 ( Ms duty as an officer in the secret 1; service. Pronskl was sent i > Siberia, j where, after Intolerable sufferings, lie : int-ti ui |'i nwii rumuui|iMuii, j? Several years after Dronski's arrev, while Turovtsuin. who was now chief i 1 of police la Russian Poland. was rl<l- ' ( Ing iu his carriage in Warsiiw. a man I | tired a shot at hiui. At the moment a , girl who stood by the would he assis I ! siu knocked up the weapon and savel Turovtsuln's life. Tlie man who fired ! t the shot was spirited away h.v a renin- v plices so quickly that the police did not even Ret on his track. The chief ^ saw ihe whole afTair and directed that 'j the Rirl be sent to his otliee. When j she aiTived there he said to her: "Von are n hrnvo girl to have inter- | fere I with an assassin, and 1 owe you t my life. What can I do to repay I you?" "1'iease. excellency. I would like to serve the government." J, "In what capacity?" t. "In the secret service. 1 have many s friends among the revolutionists, who 1 eou.sider l.ie one ol lit > I couM !' loarn much of their pli. and report j them to you." "You shall have every opportunity. j ami for every ru'olo you earn I will pee that you are paid ton." t The girl. who gave her name as j Varonkn Arkn.lyevna. from that ino- i luont enrolled in the secret police, i where she served for a long while, often 1.ringing in information of the revolutionists. There was a singular per- I penality ahout her that fascinated j Turovtsuin. At times he thought she loved him. and at times she acted as If she hated him. There are few men a who will not he caught by such uncertainty. Turovtsuin fell desperately in love with her, Varenka's bravery, too, was faseinatine to her lover. She told him that her real status was known to some of her revolutionist friends, hut she did not fear to go where they were, though always armed to the teeth. One thing I at last began to mystify Turovtsuin. Though Yarenka often led the police to capture some revolutionist, when the force arrived the bird had always flown. Yarenka lived In first elass apartments which were paid for by the government. One day the chief appeared at her apartments with trouble written on his face. "Sweetheart," ho saiil, "I have noticed that we npvor gain anything froiu Hip information you bring us. j Evory meeting of revolutionists you have told us of has for some reason failed to take place. Besides, certain persons whom we have Intended to arrest have in some unaccountable way been warned and have escaped us. And now cornea one of our women in the * secret service bureau who accuses you ( of being a revolutionist, of giving them ( all our secrets." * "Who Is my accuser?" t "Katia I'estsofY." I Varenka grew a shade whiter. (Jo- ? lag to number room she took a pistol j from a drawer, put it in her bosom and returning to her lover said: "I may as well make a confession, for Katia can prove her accusation." "Groat heavens!" exclaimed Turovtsuln, catching at the back of a chair tor support. "Ito you remember," Varenka went <ou, "your bosom friend DronsklV" "I do," gasped Turovtsuln. "I nin Ids sister, I was far from him at the time you betrayed and arrested him, but I detenulncd that some day I would avenge him. While he suf fered the tortures you heaped upon hint my resolution grew stronger. When he died I determined to execute o plan I had formed. The iuan who fired at you was mv accomplice, and there were twenty revolutionists standing by to take him to safety. 1 knocked up his pistol on purpose to win your confidence. Haviug won from you ail I can for my people, the moment of my supreme vengeance has come." People living on the floor below heard a shot and came running up the stairs to see what was the matter. ,Varenka stood at her door and asked them if they had not heard a shot. They replied that they had and that the sound seemed to have come from that floor, whereupon she said that It sounded to her to have come from the rear apartments. She spoke as calmly as If she had been used to having shots nreci near tier nil her life. The excited people went to the rear apartments to learn that nothing unusual had occurred there. The occupants were sure that the shot had come from the front rooms. Puzzled, the crowd went to Varenka's apartments and knocked. There was no answer to their summons. They eonferred, and. all agreeing that something must be .wrong, they decided to hurst open the door. They did so, and stretched on the floor Turovtsuin, the chief of police, lay dead. Varenka Arkndyevna was never seen again In any part, of Russia, though the police searched tho empire for her. > Rumor says that she is living In Eug J land on the large suras paid her by, the police for her secret service work.
