Ardloff was a slender, blonde- haired little Parisian, who used to dance hghtly in Hie ball-rooms of the Champs- Elysees, and chatter Rayly of th e things of the boulevard ; bu t site now no longer felt interest in anything. Faris was t o her a vanislie 1 dream; Siberia an un - changing reality. Nino nmnthb out of every year of blank, mournful snows, •white silenco. extending from horizon to horizon ; then a brief re-ipilo, whoa the fields caiulu Sower, and the color rn-hed through every valley and over every bill, and innumerable insects buzzed in the green underwood of th e stfppes—such i-, Siberia. hbe bad married Count Ardloff, the governor ol Tobolsk, to save her father from ruin : but this child of th e asphalt thrived but poorly m the desert, and her husband saw, and with tierce anger, !Kat she could not endure her present -fe; saw there wan not.dug in common be- tween them bin the chain of marriage by which he held her. \Scratch the Ku-sian and you will find the Tartar. \ Nothing can be more truo.

And yet no friend-hip could bo purer; they were morel;. e-\ile-, who talked of their distant homos, their lo.->l friends and their abandoned dreams. But such sontiiiient-. are little under- stood in i-il.eiia, and ugly little nmio.'S concerning Mine. Ardloff and young Vanca hud begun ,<> be w hi.-peie 1 — the end of a phrase biased slightly and a concluding smile turned somewhat ser- pent-wise—that was all. Count Ardloff watched and waited,-as suspicious an d fierce as a wildcat. Hewasa man about fifty, his beard was Btrong and gray, an d he stood like a Hercules. Five year-, passed in 1'aris had lent hi m a di-guise which, in his ordi- nary un ods, perfectly enabled hi m t o hide his Tartar character, and when sho married him the bright French girl lit- tle thought that a few glasses of cham- pagne or a slight contradiction would transform th e elegant gentleman on whose ar m sh e leaned into a savage Cossack. Now a fierce gleam shot from his eyes as they fell upon his wife, who, lying back in her easy chair, sat languidly lis- tening to Vailea's clear voice. It mat- tered not to the count, what they wero Ba>mg. H e did not stay to consider whether the\ were planning an elope- • tnent or talking of the emperor. lie merely hated her for appearing to be so intimate with one of his cithers, Sho belonged to him ; she w a- his property— a property he had acquired because it pleased him to do so. What, then, did she mean 0.3' thinking of or concerning herself about anyone else? Tliesi were the count's thoughts as ho took the cards that had been handed to him, and shuttled them through his Btrong finger-. Some'eight or a dozen gentlemen in the uniform of the Ru-sian army were grouped around him, a lady sat at a piano, and couples were seated under the gi I'o.ierv of the exotic plan's vith which the recesses of the room Vere/illed. There was not much con- versation, ibo interest of th e company being apparently con tore J in the count. Every now and then some one passed across the room, and. after watching the cards for a few minutes, would ering- ingly murmur some wonl-> of adulation. Every phra-e b. IT an or ended with \your excellency'' and wa- rounded off •with a bow. But the count paid \ IT; little attention to his flatterers. When he bail finished dealing, as he threw down the last card, lie glanoeil again in the direction whore his wile was sitting. As she li-toi'i'd to the young Pole her attitude grew more and more abandoneiL He spoke to her of bis pa,-,t life, of a lost love ; and l! 1 accent- of v givt with viiiidihe n.iiialol bis experience- re- minded her of bow nhe bad .-uttered fciniilar deci'plioii- ; of ho w her aspir- ations and glad visions bad , like bis, perished.

So ab-orb d were Vanca and Mme. Ardmll m t:.e contemplation of the past that tbov wore only so much conscious oi each other as each helped the other to realize their separate lives.

Instantly rising, he com- pile I with he r request, an d then, forget- ting he had not returned th e countess boi glovo, stopped to speak to a friend, jfcl. iiioud tried to warn him with a look, bu oefore a wonUcouId be said, the Pole ha walked aoro-ss th e room, still twirling the fatal glove in hU fingors. He did tin- with a certain nonchalance- that would have angored a bettor-tem- pered man than Count Ardloff. A grim ucowl passed across his face an d he vrlii-pered something to a n aide-de-camp, who stood near him. The officer left the room. It was a terrible moment, full of con- sternation and silence, but before the unfortunate Pole had time to realize his danger two Cossack soldiers entered the apartment. The company gave way be- fore theni, withdrawing iato groups and lines. Vanca had his back turned to .them and he still wrapped the fatal glove round and round hi s fingers.. Ha stood as if lost in reverie, scanning a marble bust of the countess. At last the stillness of the room awoke him and, as the Cossacks were about to seize him , he turued. His frightened eyes met theirs ; he started back pre- cipitately, but, with a quiet movement, the soldiers laid hands upon him. In a low voice th e aide-de-camp said : \ You are arrested by order of his ex- cellency.\ Dazed and bewildered, Vanca pushed the soldiers from him and , stretching forth his hands, appealed to the count. \How is this, 3'our excellency?\ he cried, wildly; \I am guilty of nothing. There must be some mistake. \ Count Ardloff stood broad, tall, and vindictive, with the light of th e luster shining- full on his high, bald forehead; an iron-gray beard concealing th e lower part of his Square face. Vanca cried one more word of appeal and then stopped, puzzled. Mme. Ardloff arose, pale and trem- bling, but her bus baud motioned her away. The guests remained in rows, still as the figures of a frieze, and, at a sign from, the officer, with a movement of the shoulders, the Cossacks forced th e Pole from the room. Th e scene was very 6hort. Immediately after the count spoke of indifferent things and glasses of cham- pagne were handed round. Mme. Ard- loff stared vacantly, unable to collect her thoughts ; till, suddenly seeing the glove -which Vanca had dropped, the reason of his arrest dawned upon her and she trembled violently, and s o agi- tated w-as she that she could scarcely say good-by to her guests. Th e count, however, dismissed them rapidly, speak- ing all the while of the approaching summer, the number of convicts that had escaped from the mines and the emperor. When husband and wife were alone the count picked up th e glove and ban.led it t o th e countess with a n ironi- cal smile, and. without alluding to what had happened, said that it was very late and advised her to retire to her room. She obev ed without iin.-wi-ring. She knew something horrible war going to happen and, stupefied with fear, she mounted the staircase. He stayed behind to give an order and, mastering her fears, she listened. He was talking in the hall below to Id- aide-de-camp, and she beard him say that Vanca must be at once degraded to the ranks, an d her heart beat with joy at the prospect of his escaping with 30 slight a punishment. He r emotion was so great (bat she di d not catch the next phra.se . and when she heard again her husband wa s telling his officer to have all in readiness, that he would be at the barracks at nine next morning. There was something strange in this and Mme. Ardloff went trembling to her room. Th e shadows seemed livid and the lamp burned luridly and, op- pressed with th e horrors of th e evening, she sat in th e silence, afraid to g o t o bed. Through the frozen window panes she could see glistening the wide snows of th^Srfeerian winter. W T earily she asked herself why she had been condemned to iive in these impassable deserts. The howl of a dog broke the stillness of the night and it sounded in her excited mind like the last dying cry of some poor one unjustly done to death. What was to become of Vanca? Why could not she save him? Save him! Was there need for that? Starting to he r feet, she strove b y an effort of will to rid heiself of her terrors. Then, shaken with forebodings and regrets, she un- dressod ; but a hundred fancies assailed' her imagination an d gave life to the figures on the tapestry, to the shadows on the floor, ami, white, like a ghost in a tomb, she lay restless in her large led . (Sleep lied from her until at last she fell into a deep, dreamless torpor, f om which, toward morning, she was awak- ened by a heavy tramping of foot in 1110 corridor. A moment after her husband entered. He was attired in th e Russian mil nary cloak and his hand was on his sw orcl. \Get up,\ he said, impatiently. \I wan! you t o come out with ma. I have ordered the sledge. \ \Why should 1 get up at this hour? It is only just da> light an d I am very tired. '' \I am sorry you are tired, but I want you tu come to the barracks. \ K01 ucmbering the order she had beard given over night Mine. Ardloff turned pale at the mention of the word bar- racks. Twenty times she felt an indefi- nite desire rising up within her t o throw herself into his arms and beg of him to be merciful ; but he looked so implacable thai her courage died away, and sho feared that any interest she might show for Vanca would only still further preju- dice his chance of escape. Wrapping her long, blue-fox fu r man- tle around her, sh e told him she wa s ready. He looked to soe if she had for- gotten anything. Her handkerchief lay on the table, and as he handed it to her hi- attention was attracted b y a flacon do sel volatile. \We may want this,\ he said, ind slipped it into his pocket. \What do you mean?\ she said, turn- ing -uddenly. \Are yo u going to mur- der me? \ \To murder- you!\ he replied, laugla- ine cynically ; \what nonsense 1\ And half pushing her Ix'fore him they descended-the staircase. Sh e tried sev- eral times to resist him, but he got he r Into the sledge. \To the barracks,\ he cried to tho coachman, as he sal down beside hiswifo ami arranged th e rugs. During the drive neither spoke a word. His face was clouded in a sort of sullen moodiness, and terrilied, 8he looked down the dazzling perspectives of the outlying streets. Tho barracks were situated at the further end of the eastern suburb. The hor.es canterod briskly and soon a 'arge building appeared. It stoed alone ;* all round sbre.tched the white expanse of the steppes; and the sledge passed a •la'nge gatoway inio th e barrack square, •which ha d been cleared of snow. The offleer who was waiting to receiTO thettt'-helped, th e count to descend, Mme . Ardloff was told to remain seated. Immediately after a trumpeter blew a call and a file of men marched to within a few yards of the sledge and formed themselves into a double line. \Front rank, quick march,\ cried the officer. When they had gone -eight paces he cried \Halt!\ and • then gave the order, \Right about turn. \ Vanca was then led forth. He walked between tw o soldiers. He was naked to the waist and behind him came the ex- ecutioner. He carried in his hand the barbarous knout and over hi s shoulder dangled its seven cruel lashes. In Russia an officer of th e army cannot be flogged, but he ca n be degraded to the ranks in twenty-four hours. This is what happened in th e present case. Vanca was now a common soldier and was waiting to recieve th e fifty lashes to which he had been sentenced. For Vanca all was now prepared; tho soldiers stood in line, th e executioner twirled his lashes, only an officer to lend tho way remained to be appointed. It was for Count Ardloff to d o this. He looked around ; there were half a dozen men standing around him. any 0110 of whom he might have chosen. A^ he glanced from one to the other, hi - atten- tion was attracted b y a man who, from a doorway at the other en d of th e bar- rack yard, was eagorl,- watching. \Who is that ma n ?\ asked th e cnim*. The man was called. It was Vanca's brother. \ What are yo u waiting about th e door- way for ? \ \I was waiting to see if your excel- lency would pardon my poor brother,\ replied the Pole. \ Pardon your, poor brother,\ said Count Ardloff. with a bitter sneer; \ I .vill show yo u how I pardon. Draw , our •word and lead the way , and take caro you don't walk too fast. \ After one deep, questioning look, which told him that th e Russian meant to be obeyed, he broke his sword across ids knee and said, as he hurled tho pieces scornfully aside : \ Do with me a s you will, but I will not serve a country inhabited by bar- 'Kirians and governed b y fiends. \ Even the Cossacks exchanged glances of sympathy, an d ha d they known the whole truth it was no t improbable that they might have revolted. Suffice to say that for a moment Mme . Ardloff feared for her husband's safety. But his fierce brutality dominated his soldiers, and th e elder Vanca was manacled an d a heavy guard placed over him . The scene that presented itself was this : Two files of soldiers, Count Ardloff .commanding, stern and implacable, one brother half naked and bleeding, the other in irons; a pale woman with agony written in her face, wrapped up in furs, and a pair of horses munching in their nose-bags, unconscious of aught dlse. The officer took another step back; the seven thongs whistled in th e air, an d again tore into red furrows the lacerated flesh. As Vanca staggered forward, his face convulsed with pain, Ids eyes fixed on Mme. A>dloff, and they asked with a terrible jeJoquence, \Oh , wh y did your beauty betray me?\ Her hands were clasped, and in her emotion, having lost all power of utter- ance, she strove to send forth her soul to tell him ho w innocent she was. Then another blow fell, and the blood squirted horribly an d th e flesh hung ragged. It was sickening. From sheer horror and nausea Mine. Ardloff fainted. But it was her husband's intention that she should witness to th e end the revenge be ha d so carefully prepared, and diving his hand in the pocket of her mantle he produced tho bottle of sel volatile. With this ho quickly restored her to consciousness, and then she heard him saying: \Awake awake, for I wish you t o soe how I punish those wdio insult me.\ Vanca had no w recicved nine strokes. He was but a raw mass of quivei nig fl h. Hopeless and faintly, like one in a nighmare, Mme. Ardloff strove 10 speak, until at last the words long de- nied her rose to her lips, but they camj too late, and, mad with pain, the to •- tuied man , with a whirling, staggering motion, precipitated himself on the drawn sword and fell to th e ground a\ corpse. This was unexpected. There were hur- ried words an d a tramping of feel, and a deep silence, bu t Mme. Aidloli' re- membered little, 'Ihe imprecations the elder brother hurled after he r as she a; driven away sounded dim an d indis- tinct in her ears during the long days of delirium which followed this doublo tragedy, for on arriving home she saw her husband make ou t th e order for Vanca's transportation to th e mercury inines. She pleaded an d prayed wildly, bu t the count only smiled grimly i n reply to her hysterical supplications. It seemed to ker that heaven should fall to crush, that the earth should open to receive so inhuman a monster. Sh e raised her hands, she screamed madly, her thoughts danced before her, faded, and then there was a blank; an d during several weeks, for her , time stood still. Slowly her senses returned to her ; slowly—through a dim mist, through a heavy torpor, that held he r powerless ind inert—they returned to her, and with them came th e ghastly remem- brance of a terrible crime. The subject was never alluded to. The affair was .lushed u p : but time could never flint nor tear this cruel page out of Mine. A id 1 off's life. Her only consolation was the cert itudn that no pain was-ia-i<fore for horgrea'er than she experienced, when, years afhar, in a ball-room at St. Petersburg, Count Vanca, a n old man with lotig, white hair an d a life's sorrow o n his face, said to her: \Madame.

G. • many 83. France 80. Sweden 70, Italy 37, Bulgaria 35, and Mexico 87. A great many people, even ID tho West, confound vaeqiioros with cow- boys, some oven supposing that the only difference botween tho men known by these names is that of locality of tho country in which they work; in other words, that a man working with range- cattle is a cowboy in the North and a vai'ijiiero in tho South. Such a mistake, how over, is only made by people unac- quainted with range work, because as a \matter of fact there is a.vast dilforenco between the occupations in which those men are engaged. It is true every vac- qr.ero ma y become a cowboy; hu t every cowboy can no t possibly bocome a vac- quero. The name an d the occupation it de- notes are both of Spanish origin, says Chambers' Journal. I t is a matter of history that tho first horses brought to America were from Spain and the cow- ponies used in Texas and Old and Ne w Mexico are to-day mongrel descendants from th e pure-bred Barbs landed on th e shores of tho Gulf of Mexico over a century sinco. The samp is true of tho vacquero, for he is invariably a Mex- ican, sometimes tho descendant from a pure Castilian family ; but more often a ••Greaser\ or half-breed, having the blood of th o Castilian and Indian mixed in his veins. Hi s occupation is hand- ling and breaking wild horses, and while ho inherits tho> liot-iompored, im- petuous disposition, together with th e reckless bravery of liis Spanish ances- try, ko ha s also coupled with it the cun- ning and treachery of his Indian fore- fathers in a s noted a degree as tho wild descendants of those pure-bred Spanish palfreys have inherited their high spir- its, speed and endurance. In his dross the vaeauero cives the strongest outward evidence of his an- cestry and occupation. The heavy, broad-brimmed sombrero, ornamented with gold or silver braid and cord; tin fancifully-decorated and embroidered velveteen jacket and trousers with buck- skin shirt and gaily-colored sash, long- legged boots and big spurs, form invari- ably the dress adopted by him, no mat- tor how poor he may be or how old and worn his garments. In choosing hi s outfit, his saddle and bridle, ho i s more careful than the ordi- nary cowboy, an d give.-, loss thought to the expense; especially so is this tho case with regard to th e trappings of liissaddle, which are often fastened in place with silver-beaded rivets, thelioad.s being fre- quently as largo as a crown piece, and engraved with monograms, or brands. or an y other devioo which may catch his fancy. His bridle is usually of his own manufacture,, of plaited horse-hair of different colors so combined as to give evidenco of hi s natural artistic taste. It differs from the ordinary bridle in being so constructed as to he adapted for use with or without bits, and when used in th o latter shape is called a ''hackamore.\ Itisin this shape tho vac- quero invariably uses it the first time he saddles and 111011 nts a-wibl horse, be- cause then th e hits are useh-ss, and only irritate th e animal; th e first lesson the vacquero desires to teach i t being to go ahead without any regard to direction, the hair-cord, which passes around th e nose and jawsbeinpr sufficiently strong to stop its wild raor\ if such a coursi is necessary. The lasso or lariat used by the vaequern is, likts the cowboy's, made from .plaited raw-hide or horse-hair, about thirty feet in length, and so heavy tliat none but a very strong wind is aide to alter th o course of the noose when thrown a t a fleeing anima'l. The outfit entirr> is often worth hun- dreds of dollars, and represents tho vac- ,|iiero's stock in trade, 'being as indis- pensable as a lawyer's or physician's li- brary. W o have of ten seen suehanout- tit girthed, o r \sineboil\ as they say, on a horse not worth mono cents than tho outfit was dollars. The vacquero takes more pride in tho completeness and quality of his outfit than tho ordinary cowboy. Rarely do you evor seo the vacquero change hi s occupat ion; lie is apparently born in tho saddle, reared in th e ! saddle, and not 11 nfrequently falls ' dead from th e saddle, li e i s more ac- ' oomplished with tho lasso than th e cowboy, and n o vacquero is considered a thoroughly competent lasso-tlii-ovvcr, or roper, unless ho can catch a horse running at it s utmost speed by any one of its four feet, or i ts two front or hind feet. Merely to bo able to throw a lasso over the horse's head is no < jiudifii-ati.ui for a vacquero. Then, too . an oli'ieieiu vacquero understands thoroughly the art of braiding horse-hair or raw-hide and making therefrom bridles, riding- whips or \querts and lassos or lariats. Of course, the main difference be- tween tho vacquero and cowboy i s that tho former is emplnyod exclusively with range-horses, while tho Inter's charges ar e horned creatures. besides this, th o thorough vacquero is rarely seen in tho North. In other respects, however, his life and habits are very similar to thoso o f the cowboy; but be is better paid, and actually his'life is in greater danger; for, while, tho cowboy may have occasionally to break a broncho or half-wild horse, that is tho vacquero's regular occupation, and h o may bo called on to ride five or sii a day for weeks at. a, time. m THE CREAT Germarv Remedy] r ^TRUTHS FO I For those dcatlil, I Bilious Spellsdeiiem I -inSULPHUKBHTEES III it will cure you.
