Lafleur, ‘-is found on all the shores of the Arctic Ocean „ul on the banks of the rivers which flow into it. It is smaller than the common fox, which it greatly resembles, but its head is mote like that of a dog, Its hair is very long, very thick and very soft to the touch -it is grayish blue or white. The tip of its muzzle is black and its ears are nearly round. Its voice is at once liirs the bark of ,(log and the yelp of a fox. These animals are always met in considerable bands; they prefer open and cold places. “It is a curious fact,” added he, “that the blue fox, far from fearing the water as do the other foxes, easily crosses the arms of rivers or lakes to reach islands that it may ravage the nests of aquatic birds. When game vanishes from a region, the blue foxes emigrate in a body, which is a habit very rare among carnivorous animals. “I had,” M. Lafleur pursued, “for my Chateau-Thierry collection, superb speci mens of the skins of all the Siberian foxes, but. alas! my collection is to be made over again—I can never return to Yakoutsk,” added he, sadly. After having eaten, the Yakoute woman asked permission to sleep beside the bivouac 6re, which was granted by Nadege. She stretched herself out upon the snow and, drawing over her face and shoulders her sayanak of reindeer skin, began to snore. The little blul foxes, closely pressed to her bosom, paid her in warmth for the maternal care she bestowed upon them. CHAPTER XIII,—TEKEL’S .RETURS. That night was not a quiet one. There re mained more than three-quarters of the ram killed by M. Lafleur. The odor of thd raw flesh attracted the wolves. They roamed sround the encampment despite Wab’s growls and barkings, which were sometimes furious. M. Lafleur, always serviceable, accom panied by the dog of the Himalayas, went lo the nearest thicket and brought back i number of branches with which to feed the Are. The flames intimidated the wolves, the eyes of which could be seen shining in the distance. While Wab kept off some of them, others more daring bore away the remains of the ram and made but a mouth ful of them. Soon the number of animals increased so greatly as to cause much uneasiness. At a signal from Yegor a general discharge of fire-arms was made iq every direction, i’egor and M. Lafleur fired several times snd the little Pole blazed away with his two revolvers. ;The chief of police, disabled hy his wound, alone remained inactive. The wolves hit by the shot uttered lu gubrious howls, and the fugitives heard them roll and twist upon the ground in the .'onvulsions of death. The others retired » short distance, but returned to the charge, tnd it became necessary to repulse them »new with balls. At last, they were again driven back. But »t daybreak they presented themselves in greater force than ever, ready to renew their attack. Wrangling with each other, they threw themselves upon the bodies of their companions lying in the snow and de voured them. This was but slight nourish ment for so many famished animals. Yegor and the others loaded their weap ons, thinking that the wolves, their appetite stimulated by the raw flesh, would soon leap upon them. Ladislas passed his re volvers to Nadego and charged the carabine belonging to the chief of police. The latter flmsped in his free hand an enormous spear. Thus they waited, ready for whatever might tfllf ft nl nr*n Suddenly, on the summit of the rock against which Nadege’s tent was erected appeared a huge gray hear. It descended heavily and wont straight towards the wolves. The latter, disturbed at their feast, boldly wheeled about. Then, the bear, retreating »few steps, placed its back against the rock, squatted upon its haunches, thrust orward a wide-open, frightful mouth and c5?ssed its fore paws over its breast. At this defensive attitude, the wolves formed » semi-circle about their adversary, pru ontly keeping several yards away, tegor and his companions were filled amazement. After rapidly consulting, oy decided to let these animals come to ows before interfering; besides, .it was ^ecessary to economize the supply of pow The gray bear and the wolves continued observe each other, but the thing was ba thing monotonous; the wolves seemed to inviting the bear to begin the combat. Ji,Wero tfyin8 to provoke it by growls, oh certainly seemed to contain an ac j tl0.n cowardice. The bear, without parting from its calmness, was allowing ardor of its adversaries to wear itself IslS*?1 y' some °* the bravest or most fam leaped upon the hairy mass, which tliAiY^ tnotionless as a rock.

Besides, these gray boars are not fero “?.*?*• } an» going to thank it for its aid Jrith a dancing lesson; that is what is called In my counter paying in ape's money. It is to be hoped that it will not settle its account by devouring me.” While speaking, M. Lafleur drew his little riolln from his pocket The bear followed, vrithout losing anything, all his movements. Without taking time to give the la, the dancing-master, gravely marking the stops, piayed and danced nobly an cjd-time minuet The animal yawned at first but the sharp sounds of tho instrument astonished and, perhaps, charmed it. It shook its head with an approving air. It is well known that the ear of the bear, Insensible to bursts of thunder or the fall of avalanches, has the gift of perceiving and appreciating the weakest and softest sounds. The. gray boar seemod to grow familiar with the dancer and his music. It belonged for that matter, to a species void of ferocity’, reeding mainly on vegetables and fish. At the commencement of winter, the Ostialts are often seen conducting herds of gray bears to BerezofT, where the flesh is sold on the butchers’ stalls. Carried away by the cadence of the air, the animal also began to shake itself and dance. While executing his minuet, M. Laflcur gradually moved away from tho encamp ment; the bear followed him, as if magnet ized by his bow. Yegor had great trouble to prevont his dog Wab from going up to smell at closo quarters this companion, suddenly grown so sociable. Finally, M. Lafleqr, thinking that ho had drawn the animal far enough away to have removod all danger, quickly wheeled about, scraping forcibly upon the troble string. The bear, evidently annoyed by the alto gether unexpected lack of harmony, de parted with the hoavy stop of a mystified beast. Some hours later, clouds of crows settled upon the bleeding bodies of the wolves, and the travelers thought it advisable to move their camp, advancing in the direc tion in which Tekel was to come with the nartas. The Yakoute woman did not follow them, but resumed her road, bearing with her the three blue foxes. Two days afterwards, as night was coming on—to speak the truth, it had been night all day—a sharp noise and a pattering sound on the hard snow announced from a distance the arrival of Tekel and the sledges, so im patiently awaited. Soon the two nartas were in sight. The reindeer were running rapidly. Yegor’s Joy was overwhelming, Nadege’s ejes were filled with tears of emotion, and Ladislas clapped his hands. “What fine teams!” cried M. Lafleur. But Yermac’s forehead suddenly clouded. The chief of police turned away to hide his annoyance. The situation of this Muscovite function ary was passably strange. The former judge, incapable of relying upon his own Judgment, regulated himself only by strict Justice and the written law, withov* admit ting any examination, interpretation or modification. Distrustful of his rights and his authority, he remained deaf to that in terior voice which tells every man what is lust or unjust, and limited his intellectual activity to the strict application of the law. In his eyes, men were made to obey the laws and the laws were not written in tho interest of humanity. Further, he was al ways ready to sacrifice himself to his duty, as he had clearly shown. And yet he was almost forced to lend as sistance to people who had forfeited their privileges, who were braving the law and personally defying it. Now, he was about to be compelled to follow him. How far and during what time they alone could tell. Yermac felt himself unable to resist this humiliation. Better had it been for him, ho thought, to have succumbed beneath their repeated attacks than to become in their hands an object of pity and derision. But what would he do if a patrol of Cos sacks suddenly appeared ? Would he de nounce, as his duty strictly ordered him to do. Yegor and Nadege as escaping convicts and M. Lafleur as an accomplice in an at tempted crime I But he owed his life to these unfortunates! What a cruel perplex ity I A dolorous struggle took place in the conscience of the chief of police. Tekel, as he advanced, hesitated for a moment. He did not recognize the locality. The forest razed by the conflagration gave the face of the country a new aspect. The Yakoute was greatly surprised, on approach ing the encampment, to find that it had been established by Yegor and his party, the peo ple in whose service he was. He leaped lightly from the narta he was driving and displayed his. teams for the gen eral admiration. His Yakoute comrade was presented after the reindeer. He was quite a young man of a very pronounced Tartar type, and answered to the somewhat harsh name of Chort. The costumes of the two Yakoutes pre sented a mixture of the garments of the Russian peasants and those of the natives of the fur countries. They were long pe lisses of gray cloth In the Muscovite fash ion, breeches of well-tanned reindeer skin and torbassas or boots of thick reindeer hide. These boots are so made that the foot can enjoy perfect ease in them, the tip of the sole is turned up like the runner of a skate. They reach to the knee and are bordered by a wide band of black cloth. All the seams in the garments of Tekel and Chort were covered with bands of this cloth. It is to be added that their boots were fastened about the ankle by strips of leather. Let us pass to the sledges. Nartas are Siberian sledges. They are narrow, long, and very light, with accom modations for two persons besides the driver. The latter is but illy seated. He {daces himself on one side and is always ready to leap to the ground at the slightest accident In the box of each narta is a re ceptacle for food to be used while traversing uninhabited sections, and also for certain in dispensable utensils. Tekel had had the foresight to fill the boxes of his two nartas with flour, barley, dried and smoked fish, etc., while an abun dant supply of lichens showed that he had not forgotten the reindeer. He had furnish ed himself with hatchets, numerous knives and hunting and fishing implements. Felt cloth covered each of the vehicles and could at need be used In the erection of tents. Each narta was drawn, after the manner of the natives, by three stout reindeer. I Generally, the Russians prefer to harness to these vehicles a large number of dogs, They find it easier to feed them with the flesh of animals killed on the road and, al need, with flsh, than to renew, without go ing out of their way the mosses on which the reindeer live. As to the animals, they left much to be desired. Three out of the six were white. Two had magnificent horns measuring from four to five feet. The others lacked elthei the right horn or the left, oxcept one—it had been usod to ride upon—which had Its horns sawed off near the skull. Besides, it was the season in which the reindeer shed the hairy skin with which their horns ar« provided, and long, bloody strips hung from the antlers. It will be romembered that * reindeer's head greatly resembles that of a heifer, but the body is slonderer and th« limbs cleaner cut. The broad foot of the creature facilitates traveling over the snow Without the reindeer, the tribes of the ex treme north could not oxist. The animal is for them what the horao and tho cow are for us, tho camel and the goat for the Aral of tho desert. It serves at once as a boast of burden and nourishment; it givos milk and garments to thoso who raise it. Yegor informed Tokel of what had oo eurred during his absence, and was verj glad to loam that this servant had by chance laid in a supply of provisions; they would replace those which had boon abandoned to tho flames of tho forest. That evening, tho repast was exceptional ly comfortable, thanks to tho elements fur nished by the new arrivals from Zachivorsk; Yakoute butter, without salt and hardened by tho cold, which was broken into piocos; strouganina, or raw flsh frozen and cut into thin slices; reindeer brains, frozen also; and black broad dried in small cakes—all dishes reputod to bo delicious and choice. The Yakoutes addod some wild onions guthcred in tho neighborhood. Aftor tho meal, the two natives made their preparations for tho night. Tho reindeer unharnessed and set at liberty, Nadcgo and Ladislas wero placed in one of tho nartas and well covered with its felt cloth. To the chief of police—in consideration of his wound —was assigned the other narta. Thoy wrapped him up warmly in it. Yogor and the, Parisian rollod themselves in their furs. As to tho Yakoutes, thoy scarcely took the most simplo precautions against the cold, justifying the title of “men of iron" bestowed in Siberia upon their race. Tho next day, at an oarly hour, tho fugi tives wero to continue their Journoy. CHAPTER XIV.—ARRESTED. In the light produced by the atmospherlo refraction, the travelers had taken the east ern highway, guiding themselves by means of a tiny compass, a gewgaw figuring among the charms attached to Yegor's watch chain^ the compass with which the latter had provided himself had been lost during the burning of tho forest, together with the map of tho comparatively unknown districts to bo traversed by the fugitives; but this map was photographod, so to speak, upon the exile’s brain, in consequence of the thorough study he had made of it during-the long hours he had devoted to planning his escape. The sevore cold necessitated the adoption of every available means of braving the rigors of the season, at the very commence ment of the Journey. The nartas went at tho average speed of eight miles an hour. In the first, driven by Tekel, wore Yegor, Nadege, and Ladislas. The chief of police and M. Lafleur occupied the second. An interminable plain presented itself to the sight, not with a distant prospect—the light was too faint for that—but with such uniformity in the sheet of whiteness, of which the nartas socmed always to occupy the centre, that without the patter of the hoofs of the reindeer in the snow, without tho scraping sound produced by the run ners of the sledgos, the travelers might have believed their vehicles motionless. They crossed several frozen lakes. The camp, after tho first day, was oven estab lished on one of those marshes which remain eternally frozen beneath tho surface, and which are called trundras. The second day dawned amid an intense cold that promised well for the progress of the fugitives. They resumed their Journey, carefully shunned some inhabited points where posts of Cossacks were located, and where it would have been difficult to furnish a satisfactory explanation of the object of this trip betwoom the Indiguirka and the Kolima in such rough weather.. Suddenly, a Cossack, driving a very light little sledge drawn by numerous dogs, shot by the nartas like an arrow. This Cossack fc» a droll look, with his lance slung ac'<o» his back and his fur hood pulled down over his eyes. One might have thought him astraddle of an overturned iron chair and being drawn along, dospito him self, by a dozen dogs. It was a courier despatched by the com mander of a post established to the north of the plain which the fugitives were crossing, parallel to the Stanovoi-Grebeto chain, in which rise the Indiguirka, the Kollma, and the Omolon rivers. The Cossack, after having passed the twc nartas, turned his team about and started to overtake them; Yegor and M. Lafleur. therefore, ordered their drivers to put ttu reindeer to the top of their speed. They had so much the air of flight that the Cossack's curiosity was stimulated. H< wished to take a nearer look at those travel ers who were in such haste and who, con trary to the custom of the country, shunnec speaking with the poople whom good lucli threw in their way. In less than flvcftnlnutes ho rejoined th< nartas, and Yegor and his companions wen forced to stop and enter into conversatior with him. “I wish you a safo journey. Messieurs,' said the Cossack. “And here is a piece ol advice for you—go a little to the left, if you would not miss the ostrog of Vorkne-Ko limsk.” The ostrog was the post from whence the Cossack had been despatched. “They are not going to the ostrog,” said Yermac. “Where are they going, then?” asked th» Cossack, more puzzled than ever, for h« could not understand how they could dis dain making a halt at this post, deemed i precious refugo by those obliged to crosi these vast solitudes. “Are your passports it proper shape i” demanded he of Yegor, who having quitted his sledge, had advanced tz talk with him. “Our passports are in proper shape," an swered the young man. “If you wen' charged with verifying them, I would show them to you with pleasure. But what goof would that do, since you are only an ignor ant fellow!” “Not so ignorant, after all! I am a cour ier to the neighboring posts, the bearer a information relative to some vernaks 14 oaped from YakoutskI There are—(am the Cossack counted the travelers)—then are four of them (he, however, saw five per sons), and you answer so well to the de scriptions that I shall be compelled to as) you to go pay your respects to our Esaoule I' no n oomuronw] ChU|«l tlis Hn^|«o(, nefgently)—Are you not afraid tome one will marry you for your money?

On December 10th I was oonflned to my room with the Grippe. The Treasurer of the “Com mercial Advertiser” recommended that I should try a bottle of “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,” as it had cured him of the same complaint I sent for a bottle, and in two days I was able to resume my business, and am now entirely cured. As I took no other remedy, I can but give all the credit to the “Cherry Pec toral,” which I gratefully recommend as a speedy sped He for this disease. Yours very truly, F. T.

J.. writes: **I bruised my limb and it became greatly swollen and stiff. I used two bottles of a patent liniment which did not relieve me. A physician was called who ordered the limb to be poulticed, and he gave me medicine inter nally, without benefit. I then got a bottle of rt. Jacob’s Oil, which cured me. It acted like magic.”—Mr. Lorenzo Buck, Bancroft, Shiowassee county, Mich, says: “I had chrouic rheumatism for years, contracted during the war. After sitting or lying down, at times, I could not get up, from stiffness and pains. At work my strength would give out. then I would pass through a sickness of several weeks. I had to walk with a cane and was at one time so ill I could not lie down without1 terrible pain in my back and limbs. I tried i St. Jacobs Oil; next morning got up out of j bed without assistance. Today I’m anew man and walk without a cane.” Mr. A. j H. Cunningham, Perryopolls, Fayette county, Pa., writes: “My wife was sorely afflicted with lame back for several years. She used innumerable liniments, but ex perienced little relief until St Jacobs Oil was used.
