Here abe hae! beea UviaT two yeauu whew a ymiaa; giiehutaji aaaaad Kduria MaewaM to aton at hoe aeahiiakataat far a days. Up to the present I have aot saw aay tkuay about the ohnjejten or aftlM Ceuataan Cbornaki, so far, I have merely been retmber of faow wbiok are to oaakla the reader to the enrious tale that or beautiful, ia some sease or oibw, the reader will probably antieipate from the fact of the Count baring in lien ia lore with her. If I mention that elan wae tall, with dark hair and aeuiliaie foatures, all who are Interested in the amatter can fill up the rest of bar portrait to suit their own taotes. Ia oaaraetor ahe muet have been of a rather trustful disposition, ae will, I think, appear from her ooadaot to Mr. Jiaretoau He was her senior by about two yean, and had been praoUeiBg as a sursjeoa and physician for some time in a very poor district in tbe past end of LetMtoa, When be first came to her home be did not intend to remain many days in Paris, but his stay was prolonged for one reason or another over a space of about three weeks, during which time be and the Countess had contracted a very sincere friendship for each other. Finally, on the sight before be left, she told him her story, and asked him if he could see any way ia which she could establish the rights of herself and children. 'Xot at present," said Mr. Marston, when be bad listened attentively to her story; 44 but I shall think the matter over. One sowieUmeg, after reflection , gets ieens that would, never' come from mere ratiocination, though it is ratioeiaatioa which afterward makes them practical ideas that seem at first to have no bearing on the subject of thought, while in reality they contain its full explanation. I aat not very hopeful of being able to give you any advtee that would be of use to you in this case j but I shall try, if possible, to think of sosaethiag tsat may guide you." The next day Mr. Marston left for London, having bade the Countess a cordial farewell, and premised to write to her at once if any idea should occur to him with regard to the recovery of her title and estates. Mora than a month pnsnod away, during; which she did not hear from him. and, consequently, wan beginning to think that be had probably forgotten all about her, or he would have written, whoa one evening the servant came up stairs to say that Mr. Marston was ia the parlor on the ground floor, and would like to see her. "I bare beea thinking ever since I left you," be said, whoa they had greeted each other, "of tbe extraordinary history you told me. And I think now that I see my way to ovsreeme your dUmmihYies But you will have te exercise great paifeaee. ft will take me probably a year, perhaps more, to carry out my plane. I shall have to go to Russia and live in the village of Xarovel, aad I shall want at least 400 at once, and probably i another 400 in the course of about six months. In the meantime you muet be content not to ask me any questions, aad to remain ia perfect ignorance of what I am doing. My word is the only guarantee you can have that I shall be honestly doing my beet oa your behalf' "It ie mfaeieet," said the Countess. "You hall have tbe money. When an you start?" "To-morrow," was the answer. Accordingly next day Mr. Marston started for Xarovel, which is a vil lage ia the province of Minsk, ia Western Russia. Here he took up his abode la the guise of a well-to-do Englishman, who wished to make himself acquainted with the language and institutions of the country and who had ao objection to spending his money freely. He was a good shot, was fond of riding, aad, apart altogether from the necessity of acting a part which was involved by the business he had on bead, be wae a really jovial and pleasant companion. The conoequenoe was that be soon became a favorite with every body ia the district. The men liked him because be wae a capital eportotnaa aad could take his bottle with the best of them; the women, because be was a good-looking foreigner who wne nlwnys pnylsg them such eempUmenUi as circumMances permitted aamSwho was very food of children. Amoaej others with whom he shortly became very intimately acquainted was the new prieet, a young man named Siehola Kohl. Reel acted, as priests very often do in Russia, the part both of priest and physkdan to the district. And aiace Marston was able to give him a jrreet deal of valuable advice and anniatanin.thny soon became f net friends. Oae day, about five months after he eame to Xarovel, he went with Kohl late tbe vestry room of the chapel where the Countess was married. He bad bona ia task room frequently before, and knew exactly that the book m whieb her amrtWe lay amsng asnae others ia a sort of cupboard. Already be had, on the pre with the English, examined several registers of births, deaths and marriages.so that he wan familiar with the forass, nan looking at a book of such registers could easily ind any particutor on that he Might he in quest of. As yet, however, he had had ae opportunity of examining the book which Batatas the reoord of tbe marriage arf awfll CTSMflarwNMU JJW$ TJMw aMst aWHai sateMat ManVanttnBBBBT tttt iTlnTlsnnT twaM bwbbbTjI alt at ewnrmmi awavemmnBi tvt earsnra tnm ajmnmn namm an-9

a get this book seeretlj-

Sate bin poeseaakm for about hnl.'an hour. Already he had formed a aoKber of plans for getting half an hour alone ia the vestry room, but these he had discarded oae by one as being unsuitable, At last, as often happens in such cne, an accident gave hint, the opportunity he sought. Oa tbe occasion in question they were going for a long walk, aad had only gone into the veetrj room to leave a parcel, which the priest had in his hand. Scarcely, however, had they entered the room when they were followed by a Httle girl who had seen them go into the riutpei. She had beea to the priest's house to look for him, as her mother, who was very ill, wished to see him for a few minutes. " I sholl wait for you here," said Marston, speaking to Kohl ia Kronen, when he understood what the little girl's errand was. "I can rend until you come beck." There were some French and ltin books in the room. "Very well," said Kohl, "it's only a few minutes' walk from here, I shall not nt more than half an hour." When the girl and priest had left the chapel, Marston took out of the cupboard the volume that contained the register of the Countess' marriage, and turned over the pages till he came to the entry he was in search of. Yes, there, in black and white, wm the record of the mrrriagu of Sophia Uschakoff with Michael Tokhtwmish. Mr. Marston looked at the register intently for a minute or two, during which time he turned rather pale. Then he got up and looked out of the veatry-room to see that there was nobody in the chapel. Having satisfied himself that he was quite alone, he sat down again aad examined the characters in which the name of Michael Tokhtamish was written with the greatest care for about a minute. Finally, he took out of his pocket a penknife, a bottle of ink and a pea, which he had always carried about with him in anticipation of an opportunity like the present. With the penknife he carefully erased the name of Michael Tokhtamish. It took him about three minutes to do this, so anxious was he to do the work neatly, and not to leave a trace of the letters he wae removing from the register. When he had succeeded to bis liking he put the penknife in his pocket again, and having carefully examined the pen to see that the nib was in order, he proceeded to write ever the erasure the name of . Let me first ask if the reader has guessed whose name it was that Mr. Marston wrote over the name he had been nt such pains to erase? Some people of whom I have asked the question have guseed that he wrote his own name. But why so? On a subsequent occasion he did write his own name in a marriage register after Sophia Cheraeki had written hers. But

on the present eceaeioa he could not have gained any thing by so doing. And the same objection will apply to bis writing naost other names over tbe erasure. Xo. Having most carefully erased the name of Michael Tokhtamish, he proceeded with the very greatest care to write the name of Michael Tokhta mish as nearly as possible in the same place and characters that it had stood in before. When he had done this to his satisfaction he let the ink dry, and then restored the book to its place. Kohl came back presently, and they went for their long walk. About three weeks afterward Mr. Marston found that he had business which necessitated his leaving for England, and, very much to the regret of the inhnbitaate of Xarovel, he departed. From Russia he wcat straight to Paris, where he oelied upon the Countess Cheraeki, with whom he had held ao communication whatever during the whole time he was living at Xarovel. ' You have placed implicit eonfdeuce in me," he said, "and you will find that it hae aot been ahueed. I have told you before that you must not nek any questions; aad I toll you so again. You must do exactly ae I direct you without asking why. Commence proceedings at once for the restoration of your title and estates. And mark me, when the register is produced, insist on having every word that relates to your marriage most carefully examined. Do exactly as I tell you, and you will find that the result will be satisfactory. And aow, good-bye. I must get back to London aad see if I can not get my patients again." The Countess did as he told her to do. She commenced an action on behalf of herself and her children for the restoration of tbe title and estates. The register of her marriage was produced, but when It was examined it was found that the name of Michael Tokhtamish was written, over an erasure. This destroyed the value of the register aa evidence of a mat rings between Sophia Uschakef and Michael Tokhtamish. The natural presumtion, la fact the moral certainly was that somebody else' name had been erased from the place where the name of Michael Tokhtamish was written, aad further, that the some body else was the man who married Sophia Usehakeff. Under these etreumstaacee the evidence of Michael Tokhtamish himself and the two other witnesses who were present nt the marriage, together with the evidence of a number of French witnesses, that the late Count bad lived with her for years as man aad wife, was hold, to establish fully the claims of the Countess aad her children to be the lawful wife aad issue of .the late Ivaa (Jberaeki. Tokhtamish, I may mention, gave his evidence very willingly. as it was perfectly certain that the Countess weald never marry him,

aad he could act marry any body ease white she was supposed to be his wile.

COMMODORE KITTaOff. The Vmmttm rier Umlmg Ut the LeaoaVj aH so awm J(i4MtjgMB e While at Pembina in 1830 Mr. Kittson established a line of "Pembina carts," which were used to convey furs from that country to MendoUoathe Mississippi river and return with goods, taking the ptaee of the voyageurs who had previous to that time transported these articles on their backs in small necks. The shipment of furs was for some twenty years made in those carts. The Pembina cart was a two-wheeled concern made entirely of wood and leather, without a particle of iron, and would carry about six hundred pound. They cost about fifteen dollars, aad were made by Canadians. In this cart was fastened an ox or Indian poay, geared with broad straps of buffalo bide. One driver could manage several of the carts by simply guiding the leading ox, the rest being tied to the tail of the preceding cart. Xo grease was ever used on the axles, and their creaking was frightful and on still days could be heard for miles. The drivers ol these carts were swarthy, half or quarter breeds usually dad ia a suit of coarse blue cloth, with a profusion of brass buttons and a red sash around their waists, into which were stuck a couple of bowie knives. The distance from Pembina to Meadota was about five hundred miles by the trail of those days. The caravan would generally start in June as soon as there was grass enough for the cattle, and the down trip would consume about forty days. At night the caravan would be drawn up in a circle and the slept on the ground. Sentinels were posted to watch for Indians. The men subsisted oa game aad dried meat Mr. Kittson made many trips with these trains, and while engaged with him J. J. Hill, now president of the Manitoba road, drove many of the trains. He was engaged in the trade for himself at Oil 5 time and managed his own line of carts. Mr. Hill is a very dark, swarthy man, and as he dressed in buckskin loggias and a blue blouse, and wore a mass of black hair all over his face, old settlers say it was difficult to tell him from one of his halfbreed drivers. - - In 1969 Mr. Kittson was elected to the Territorial Legislature from Pembina, and made the trip to St. Paul in the middle of winter on snow sledges tbe only means of travel in those days He made the trip ia sixteen days. His cariole was drawn by three fine dogs, harnessed tastefully, with jingling bells, and driven tandem. They could make a mile in 2:40 when put to their best speed. They usually traveled thirty or forty miles a day on a pound of pemraicaa. Mr. Kittson was of robust health, aad enjoyed the hardships of those early days whoa he was laying the foundation of his great fortune. X. Y. Timet. RUBBER HORSESHOES. A Xw CMtrirMM WMefc I Seta U Fmmh Variees ASTsategn. The proposed substitution of indiarubber for material ia the manufacture of horseshoes is based upon various supposed advantage, one of these being that the former enables a horse to go easily ever all kinds of roads and rough and slippery ground without slipping. The contrivance brought forward for this purpose Is such as ta obviate in one instance the necessity of using aa Iron shoe, can be moved momen tarily when the horse is not traveling, and can also be used when the horse is shod with aa iron shoe. According to this design the shoe consists of nn india-rubber bottom piece, modeled to fit. over or round the frog and the hoof, with a ledge or pro jecting rim rising up the front and around about level where the nails are damped, the projection having an edging under which a steel band or other appliance can be drawn, and nipped tight to retain the rubber shoe. The band is connected by tuds.which pass through the heel part of the hoof, this bong cut away from the inner side for the purpose, ami the stud or studs may work eccentrically to obtain the grip or fixing. If the rubber shoe is used with na iron shoe the frog portion or pad has a front plate and two side wings partially imbedded in it, the projecting taking under the iron shoe to fix the rubber tttoe in place. If the rubber shoe be divided or made thin in the center, a swivel or other bar can be contracted from tbe rear, te reduce the width of the pad so that it eaters easily, and alee expanded to as to fix the rubber shoe ia posit lea.
