.'The blue fox,” continued M. 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

parting from its calmness, was allowing

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

In our physical needs we want the best

“Having been afflicted with sciatic
rheumatism for some time past and find
ing no relief, I tried St. Jacob's Oil,
which I found very efficacious. ”—
Miss Clara Alcott, Maliwah, N. 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

H. Cunningham, Perryopolls, Fayette

I had been troubled five month#
with Dyspepsia. I had a fullnesi
after eating, and a heavy load in th«
pit of my stomach. Sometimes • A
deathly sickness would overtake
me. I was working for Thomas
McHenry, Dr uggist, Allegheny City,
Pa., in whose employ I Had been for '
seven years. I used August Flower ■■
for two weeks. I was relieved of all f; 5
trouble. I can now eat things I
dared not touch before. I have
gained twenty pounds since my re*
covery. J. D. Cox, Allegheny, Pa. <t
