The Mystery Princess. The Russian lady who came to London from Paris on May 8th, and who stopped at the Savoy, was not particularly noticed either by the management or by the servants. She signed her name in the hotel register as Mme.

At the same time an important conference was held in the office of the head of Scotland Yard. In addition to the superintendents there was present a middle-aged man of shabby appearance, ser vile and restless, and somewhat nervous and afraid. This was Sablin, the former Czarist Ambas sador in London, the man whose relations with the Government were denied some time ago by the Foreign Secretary.

It was he who had reported the presence of the Soviet lady to Scotland Yard while the atternpt- ed assassination was supposed to Once he said be against him. that the Chekists who had arrived in London were trying to kill him, and then that they were trying to abduct him

It appears that the mysterious lady spoke to Sahlin on the telephone saying that she Princess Paley, the widow of the former Grand Duke and almost Emperor Michael Alexandrovitch, and asked Sablin to come and see her at the Savoy. Bat Sablin is clever. He understood that this was a Soviet trap, and, in- stead of going to the Savoy, he went to Scotland Yard..

The whole day was spent in in- ly vestigation, but nothing new was revealed. It was, however, aseer- tained that Mme. Frank could not be Princess Paigy, that some mystery was at hand, and that Sablin was in danger of his life.

Sablin shook all day long; he was nervous and said good-bye to his relatives and friends. For houre he was close touch and conference with the higher author- ities. And in the evening every thing changed suddenly and the whole busturs took a different

turn.
