Poor Polatschek, after listening to the consolations of his friend and fortifying himself with a quart of spirits, returned to headquarters, to spend the following ninety days under arrest for gross negligence while on duty. To Mendel, Cantorwitch seemed a special messenger sent by a benign Providence.
Never was proof of guilt more complete and convincing, and Polatschek, who was almost as much unnerved by the discovery as the prisoner, reluctantly gave orders to seize and secure the unfortunate man, and Pomeroff was hurried away to the house of detention, to await his trial.
The two looked at each other for a moment, as if in doubt, and then with a simultaneous shout of recognition, they shook each other heartily by the hand. "Cantorwitch!" cried the soldier. "By all the saints, this is rare good luck! How have you been?" "Very well, friend Polatschek. But you are the last man I should have looked for in Kharkov. How well your service agrees with you."
You will consider yourself my prisoner." "Of what am I accused?" asked the Governor. "You are accused of associating with Nihilists and of being at the present time involved in a plot to take the Czar's life." "It is false," cried Pomeroff. "We will hear your defence in due time," answered Polatschek.

"I regret, your excellency," he said, sadly, "that I am obliged to take this step against one who has been my friend and benefactor, but the Czar's orders are imperative.
