The remarkable secret revealed in the following pages is not purely fiction. The discovery, much in the form that I have here presented it, has actually been made, and its discoverer, a well-known professor at one of the Universities in the North of Europe, recently placed the extraordinary statement in my hands.

"Hush! Think, if you were overheard!" "Well, my dear fellow, I only assert what's true," I said. "I really can't believe it," observed my companion, shaking his head doubtfully. "But I'm absolutely satisfied," I answered. "The two affairs, mysterious as they are, are more closely connected than we imagine. I thought I had convinced you by my arguments. A revelation will be made some day, and it will be a startling one-depend upon it." "You'll never convince me without absolute proof-never. The idea is far too hazy to be possible. Only a madman could dream such a thing." "Then I suppose I'm a madman?" I laughed. "No, old chap. I don't mean any insult, of course," my friend the journalist, a youngish, dark-haired man, hastened to assure me. "But the whole thing is really too extraordinary to believe."

Being some Curious Records concerning the Craft and Cunning of Theodore Drost, an enemy alien in London, together with certain Revelations regarding his daughter Ella The pair had been discussing certain schemes to the detriment of the English: schemes which, in the main, depended upon the crafty old Drost's expert knowledge of high-explosives. "Ah! my dear Count!" exclaimed the wily old professor of chemistry in German, as he replaced his glass upon the table. "How marvellously clever is our Emperor! How he befooled and bamboozled these silly sheep of English. Listen to this!" and from his pocket-book he drew a large newspaper cutting-two columns of a London daily newspaper dated Wednesday, October 28, 1908. "What is that?" inquired the Kaiser's arch-spy, his eyebrows narrowing. "The interview given by the Emperor to a British peer in order to throw dust into the eyes of our enemies against whom we were rapidly preparing. Listen to the Emperor's clever reassurances in order to gain time." Then, readjusting his big round spectacles, he glanced down the columns and read in English the following sentences that had fallen from the Kaiser's lips: "You English are mad, mad, mad as English hares. What has come over you that you are so completely given over to suspicions unworthy of a great nation? What more can I do than I have done? My heart is set upon peace, and it is one of my dearest wishes to live on the best of terms with England. Have I ever been false to my word? Falsehood and prevarication are alien to my nature. My actions ought to speak for themselves, but you listen not to them, but to those who misinterpret and distort them. This is a personal insult, which I feel and resent!"

"Come, have another hand, Burgoyne." "I'll have my revenge to-morrow, old fellow," I replied. "Why not to-night?" "It's past two, and I've a long walk home, remember." "Very well; as you wish." My friend, Robert Nugent, a journalist, was young man, tall and dark, twenty-seven at the outside, with a pleasant, smiling face. His wavy hair, worn rather long, and negligence of attire gave him a dash of the genial good-for-nothing.

Wrapped in furs until only my nose and eyes were visible, I was walking along the Nevski Prospekt in St. Petersburg one winter's evening, and almost involuntarily turned into the Dominique, that fashionable restaurant which, garish in its blaze of electricity, is situated in the most frequented part of the long, broad thoroughfare. It was the dining-hour, and the place, heated by high, grotesquely-ornamented stoves, was filled with officers, ladies, and cigarette smoke, while the savoury smell of national dishes mingled judiciously with those of foreign lands.

The Czar's Spy is an international espionage and intrigue story that was published in 1905 by the English/French novelist William Le Queux. This story takes the reader on a slalom journey across Italy, England, Finland, and Russia before returning to Italy. The goal of this expedition is to solve a mystery, but instead of providing sought-after answers, it simply raises additional questions and causes unclear events. The protagonist of the novel discovers a ripped photo of a stunning woman, falls in love with this unfortunate victim of circumstance, and sacrifices everything to save her. Love, murder, treachery, and mystery are all elements of the plot.The First World War's impending international unrest and hostility are foretold in the novel fairly accurately. It is also an accurate depiction of the early 20th century's deteriorating morality, as well as the collapse of the central pillar that formerly held together all of life's principles. Money replaced family as the most essential thing, power replaced dignity, and a little girl could now compete with world leaders!
