Wh oncer
WbenreTI
From Tomsk
Is the wire cut be
yond that cityr
Von sire since yes
terday
Telegraph hourly to Tomnk genera
L and let me be kept Informed of all
that occurs
Sire It shall be done answered
General Klssoff
These words were exchanged about
two hours after midnight at the mo
ment when u fete given at the New
palace was at the heft of Its splen
dorAn
An hour later General Kltsoff who
bad Just reentered quickly approached
bit majesty
majestyWelir
Welir asked the latter abruptly as
he had done the former time
Telegrams reach Tomsk no longer
sireA
A courier this momcntf And lean
ing the ball his majesty entered a
largo antechamber adjoining
The czar bad not so suddenly left the
ballroom of the New palace when the
fete he was chins to the civil and mill
tary authorities and principal people of
Moscow was at tbq height of Its bril
liancy without ample cause for Lo Lad
Just received Information that serious
events were taking place beyond the
frontiers of the UraL It had become
evident that a formidable rebellion
brcifned to wrest the Siberian prov
faces from the Russian crown
Asiatic Russia or Siberia covers a
superficial area of 171WOS square
miles and contains Dearly 2000000 of
Inhabitants Extending from the Ural
mountains which separate It from
Russia In Europe to the shores of the
Pacific ocean It Is I bounded on the
south by Turkestan and the Chinese
empire on the north by the Arctic
ocean from the sea of Kara to He
ring strait It Is divided Into several
governments or provinces those of To
bolsk Yeniseisk Irkutsk Omsk and
Yakutsk contains two districts Ok
hotsk and Kamchatka and possesses
two countries now under the Musco
vite dominion that of tho Klrgbla and
that of the Tshowktshrs
Two governor generals represent the
supreme authority of the czar over this
vast country One resided at Irkutsk
the capital of western Siberia The
river Tchonna a tributary of the Yenl
set separates the two Siberia
No rail yet furrow these wide plains
some of which are In reality extremely
fertile No Iron ways lead from these
precious mines which make the Sibe
rian soil far richer below than above its
surface The traveler Journeys In summer
mer In a klblck or telga In winter In a
sledge
An electric telegraph with a single
wire more than 8000 rersti In length
alone affords communication between
the western and eastern frontiers of
Siberia Ou Issuing from the Ural It
pastes through Eksterenburg Kasl
mov Tlonmcn Ishlm pmt Elamsk
Kalyran Tomsk Krasnotarsk Nljnl
Udlnsk Irkutsk VerkncNcrtscklnk
Strcllnk Albazlne Illagowstenks Had
de Orlomckaya Alcxandrewokoe and
NlkoUevsk and 0 rubles and 10 COo
pecks are paid for every word sent
from ono end to the other From Irkutsk
them Is I a branch to Klatka on the
Mongolian frontier tied from thence
for 50 copecks a word the post conveys
the dispatches to Peking In a fort
night
It was this wire extending from Eka
terenburg to Nlkolaevsk which bad
been cut first beyond Tomsk and then
between Tomsk and Kalyvan
This was the reason why the cur to
the communication made to him for
the second time by General KIseofr
had only answered by the words A
courier this moment
Tho czar had remained motionless at
the window for a few moments when
the door was again opened The chief
of police appeared on the threshold
Enter general said the czar brief
ly and tell me all you know of Ivan
OgareffUs
Us la an extremely dangerous man
lire replied the chief of police
He ranked as colonel did he notr
Yes sire
Was he an Intelligent officer
Very Intelligent but a man whose
spirit It was Impossible to subdue and
possessing an ambition which stopped
at nothing He soon became Involved
la secret Intrigues and It was then that
hosras degraded from his rank bj his
highness the grand duke and exiled to
Siberia
How long ago was that
Two years since Pardoned after
six months of exile by your majestys
favor be returned to Russia
And since that time has bo not re
visited Siberia r
Yes sire but he voluntarily return
ed there replied the chief of police
adding and slightly lowering his voice
There was a time sire when none re
turned from Siberia
Well while I live Siberia Is I and
shall be a country whence men can re
turn
The czar had the right to utter these
words with some pride for often by his
clemency be bad shown that Russian
Justice knew how to pardon
Did not Ivan Ogareff asked the
czar return to Russia a second time
after that journey through the Siberian
provinces the object of which remains
unknown rUe
unknownIle
Ho did
And have the police lost trace of
him Incer
No sire
Where was Ivan Ogaretf last beard
ofr In the province of Perm 3
In what towDT > v
ALrcrm It elf
What was be dolngr J
He appeared unoccupied and there
was nothing suspicious In his conduct
Then he was not under tbe suns i
lance of the secret pollcer
For sire
When did he leave 1 Permr
About the month of March
To go
Where Is unknown
And since that time It Is I not known
what has become of blmr
No sire It Is I not known
Well then I myself know answer
ed the czar I have received anony
mous communications which did not
pass through tbe police department
and In the face of events now taking
place beyond the frontier I hare every
reason to believe that they are correct
Do you moan sire cried the chief
of police that Ivan Osarcff has a band
In this Tartar rebelllonr
Indeed I do and I will now tell you
something which you are Ignorant of
After leaving Penn Ivan Ogareff cross
ed tbe Ural mountains entered Siberia
and penetrated tbe Kirghiz steppes and
there endeavored not without success
to foment rebellion among their no
madic population He then went so far
south as free Turkestan There In the
province of Itokhara Kbokhand and
Koondoos he found chief willing f
pour their Tartar hordes Into Siberia
and execute a general rising In Asiatic
Ituisla Tho storm has been silently
gathering but It has at last burst like
a thunderclap nod now all means of
communication between eastern and
western Bljerla have been stopped
Moreover Ivan Ocareff thirsting for
vengeance alms at tbe life of my
brotherr
Tbe czar had become excited while
speaking and now paced up and down
with hurried steps Tbe chief of police
said nothing but he thought to him
self that during the time when tbe en
peror of Russia never pardoned an ex
Ile scheme such as those of Ivan Oga
reff could never have been realized
A few moments passed during which
be was silent then approaching tbe
czar who had thrown himself Into an
armchair be said
Your majesty has of course given
order that this rebellion may be sup
pressed as soon as possible
Yea answered tbe CZAr The lat
telegram which was able to reach NIJ
nl Udlnsk would set In motion tbe
troops In the governments of Yenisei
Irkutsk Yatutsk as well as those In
the provinces of tbe Amur and Lake
Baikal At the name time the reef
ment from Perm and Nljnl Novgorod
and the Cossacks from tbe frontier are
advancing by forced marches toward
the Ural mountains But unfortunately
some weeks must pass before they can
attack the Tartars
And your majestys brother his
highness the grand Juke Is I now Isolat
ed In the government of Irkutsk and Is
no longer In direct communication with
Moscow r
UOlCOW1That
That Is so
But by the last dispatches be must
know what measures have been taken
by your majesty and what help be may
expect from the government nearest
to that of Irkutskr
He know that answered the czar
but That he does not know la that
Ivan Owreff as well ias being a rebel
Is also playing the part of a traitor and
that In him he has a personal and bit
ter enemy It Is I to tbe grand duko that
Ivan Ogareff owes his first disgrace
and what Is I more serious Is I that this
man Ii not known to him Ivan Oga
refry plan therefore Is I to go to Irkutsk
and under an assumed name offer his
services to the grand duke Then aft
er gaining his confidence when the
Tartars have Invested Irkutsk be will
betray the town and with It my broth
er whose Ids Is directly threatened
This Is what I have learned from my
secret IntclKcnce this Is I what the
grand duke does not know and this Is I
what he must knowr I
Well sire an Intelligent courageous
courlerI
I momentarily expect one
And It Is to be hoped he will be ex
peditious added the chief of pollee
for allow me to add sire that Siberia I
Is I a favorable land for rebellions
All communication was Interrupted
Had the wires between Kalyvan and
Tomsk been cut Uy Tartar scouts or
bad the emir himself arrived In the
Yeniseisk provinces Was all the loit
er part of western Siberia In a fer
ment Had the rebeilon already
spread to tbe eastern regions No one
could say The only agent which fears
neither cold nor heat which can nel
her be stopped by tbo rigors of winter
nor the beat of summer and which flies
with the rapidity of Ilghtnln the elec
tric current was prevented from trav
ersing the steppes and It was no longer
possible to warn tbe grand duke abut
op In Irkutsk of the danger threaten
ing him from the treason of Ivan Oga
reffA
A courier only could supply tbe place
of the Interrupted electric current It
would take this man come time to
traverse the 5200 versts between Mos
cow and Irkutsk To pass the ranks of
tbe rebels and Invaders be must dis
play almost superhuman courage and
Intelligence Rut with a clear head and
a arm heart much can be done
Shall I be able to find this bead and
heart r thought tbe czar
CHAPTER IL
HE door of the Imperial
cabinet was again open

In a few minutes Michael Strogoff
the courier entered the Imperial li
braryThe
The czar fixed a penetrating look
upon bill without uttering a lookI I
while Michael stood perfectly motion I
less
Michael Strogoff was a tall vigorous
broad shouldered deep chested man
Ills powerful head possessed tbe fine
features of tbe Caucasian race Ills
well knit frame seemed built for the
performance of feats of strength It
would have been a difficult task to
move such a man against his will for
when his feet were once planted on the
ground It was as If they bad taken root
As be doffed his Muscovite cap locks
of thick curly hair fell over his broad
massive forehead When his ordlnari
ly pale face became at all flushed It
arose solely from a more rapid action
of the heart under tbe Influence of a
quicker circulation His eyes of a deep
blue looked with a clear frank firm
gaze The slightly contracted eyebrow In
dicated lofty heroism tbe heros cool
courage according to the definition of
the physiologist He possessed a fine
nose with large nostrils and a well
shaped mouth with the slightly pro
jecting lips which denote a generous
and noble heart
