At any cost he must see her be- } forehand .and do what he could to en- § able her to avoid such a repulse.

"And yet." he repeated. “she could not have leftNijnl Novgorod yet. We’ll have another look.” a few judiciously given rubies were powerful enough to gain him a pass-mag». '1 he man. after taking him into the waiting room. went to call the pioper clerk. Owing to the strength of his elbows. Michael Strogotf was able to cross the court. But to get into the office and up to the clerk's little window was a much more difficult business. How- ever. a. word into an inspector’s ear and Every one was in a hurry, for the means of transport would be much sought after among this crowd of ham fished people. and those who did not set about it soon ran a great risk of not being able to leave the town in the piescribed time. which would expose them to some brutal treatment from the governor’s agents. Michael then returned to the other side of the \‘dlga. to the quarter in which was the office of the head of po- lice. It was now 11 o’clock; and Michael. though under any other circumstances it would have been useless, thought of presenting his podorojna at the office of the head of police. The proclama- tion evidently did not concern him. since the emergency had been foreseen for him. but he wished to make sure that nothing would hinder his depar- ture from the town. But all his endeavors were in vain, and he at length almost despair-ed of finding her again. Michael wandered about thus for two hours. He went on Without stopping. feeling no fatigue. but obeying the po- tent instinct which allowed him no room for thought. All was in vain. Michael left the great square of Nijnl Novgorod. where the tumult produced by the carrying out of the prescribed measures had now reached its height. Recriminations from the banished strangers. shouts from the agents and Cossacks who were using them so bru- tally. all together made an indescriba- ble uproar. The girl for whom be searched could not be there. It was now 9 o‘clock in the morning. The steamboat did not start till 12. Mi- chael Strogofl had therefore nearly three hours to employ in searching for her whom he wished to make his trav- eling companion. Therefore I must find her again at any cost.

He said to himself. vaguely at first. that without neglect~ ing anything of what was due to his i important mission it would perhaps be possible for him to be or some use to this brave girl. and this idea pleased him. Knowing how serious were the l dangers which he. an energetic and vigorous man, would have personally to encounter through a country of which. however. the roads were (21-, i ! l miiiar. he could not conceal from him- self how infinitely greater thev would prove to a young. unprotected girl.

Should he by any chance be questioned and obliged to reply he would announce . 'u m you go and rest in your cabin?" asked Michael. “Yesâ€"yes, and tomorrow”â€" “Come. then”â€" He hesitated to finish his sentence as it he had wished to end it by the name of his companion, of which he was still ignorant “Nadia,” said she. holding out her hand. “Tomorrow, brother. you shall know why I left the shores of the Baltic to go beyond the Ural mountains.” “I ask you nothing. sister." “You shall know all,” replied the girl, with a faint smile. “A sister should hide nothing from her brother. But I cannot today. Fatigue and sorrow have broken vrâ€"~ 1 “‘ " , w The Caucasus had been steaming on for about two hours when the young Livonian. addressing herself to Michael Strogofl'. said: “Are you going to Irkutsk. brother?" “Yes. sister.” answered the young man. “We are both going the same way. Consequently wherever I go you shall go.” Michael Strogot‘l’ and the young Ll- wniun had taken passage on board the (.‘aucasus. Their embarkation was made without any difficulty. As is known. the podorojna. drawn up in the mime of Nicholas Korpanon'. authorized this merchant to be accompanied on his journey to Siberia. They appeared. tneretore. to be a brother and Sister traveling under the protection of the imperial police. Both. seated together at the stern, gazed at the receding town so disturbed by the governor's order. Michael had as yet said noth- ing to the girl. He had not even quesâ€" tioned her. He waited 'until"she should speak to him whenever that was necâ€" essary. She had been anxious to leave that town. in which but for the provi- dentlal intervention of this unexpected protector she would,have remained im- prisoned. She said nothing. but he: looks spoke her thanks. "Sister." repeated Michael Strogofl'. “we are authorized to continue our Journey to Irkutsk. Will you come?” “I_ will follow you. brothvr." replied the girl. putting her hand into that of Michael Strogofl‘. and together they left the police station. She understood.

He again ap- proached the young Livonian. and. holding out his hand. “Sister.” said he. The young Livonian. seeing the only being to whom she could look for help disappear. fell back again on her bench. “Good!” returned Michael. and with- out saying a. word to her for whom he hsd been searching all day. without re- assuring her by even a gesture which might compromise either her or him- self, he followed the man through the crowd.

EATKTER’S Not knowing the governor’s orders. she had come to the police oifice to get her pass signed. They had refused to Sign it. No doubt she was authori'zed to go to Irkutsk. but the order was per- emptory: it annulled all previous auâ€" thorizations. and the routes to Siberia were closed to her.

He was n:- flvoting on this. not without a lively apprehension: “Who is it knows of my departure and who can have any inter- est in knowing it?" In a few moments Michael Strogofr had regained the stern of the vessel without having been perceived. and. taking a seat by himself. be buried his face in his hands. It might have been supposed that he was asleep. ' Michael Strogofl' started involuntarily at this reply which concerned him so directly. He tried to see if the man and woman who had just spoken were really those whom be suspected. but the shadow was too deep. and he could not succeed. “It is said that a courier has set out from Moscow for Irkutsk." “It is so said. Sangarre. but either this courier will arrive‘ too late. or he will not arrive at all." The first words exchanged were or no importanceâ€"to him at leastâ€"but they allowed him to recognize the voices of the man and woman whom he had heard at Nijni Novgorod. This. of course. made him redouble his atten- tion. It was. indeed. not at all im- possible that the gypsies. a scrap of whose conversation he had overheard, now banished with all their fellows. should be on board the Caucasus. And it was well for him that he lis~ tened. for he distinctly heard this ques~ tion and answer made in the Tartar idiom: instinctively he stopped to listen.

He stopped. Voices appeared to come from a group of passengers enveloped in cloaks and wraps. so that it was im- possible to recognize them in the dark. But it sometimes happened that when the steamers chimney sent forth a plume of ruddy flames among the vol- umes of smoke the sparks seemed to fall among the group as though thou- sands of spangles had been suddenly illiuninated. Michael was about to step up the ladder when a few words reached his ear. distinctly uttered in that strange tongue whieh he had heard during the night at the fair. Between 11 and 2, the moon being new. it was almost dark. Nearly all the passengers were then asleep on the deck. and the silence was disturbed only by the noise of the paddles strik- ing the water at regular intervals. Anxiety kept Michael Strogoff awake. He walked up and down. but always in the stern of the steamer. Once. however. he happened to pass the eu- gine room. He then found himself in the part reservedvfor, second and third class passengers. The young Livonian did not come to dinner. She was asleep in her cabin. and Michael did not like to awaken her.

All mater- ials have gone up in price 10.) per cent, while the price of leather has advanced only 50 per cent. ONTARIO FIRMS. The tanners of Quebec and repre- sentatives of some of the tanning firms in Ontario, members of the tanners branch of the C.M.A. meet- ing in the Montreal Board of Trade building, decided on the increase. A similar raise has already gone into eflect into the United States, France and other countries. The world's leather market is now so well organized and in each counâ€" try it so well in touch with the othâ€" ers that the man who walks will have to pay more money no matter where his footwear is ’made. Mr. Joseph Daoust, of Daous‘t, La- londe 00., who is both a tanner, and a shoe manufacturer, of Mont- real, says that the tanners had been forced to make the raise. Not a tanner in the province of Quebec had made his expenses in the past four or five years. Hides are only a byâ€"product any- way. If the calves were killed 101' their hides, the supply of beef is decreased. THE ORIENTAL DEMAND The Chinese and Japanese are adopting western footwear. If every Oriental wore shoes, all the white people would have to walk in their hare feet. Thestyles have changed. Ten years ago the goat supplied the material for 60 per cent of all shoes manufactured. Now the goat supplies only 17 per cent. Ten years ago, “Dongola” was the real class in foot- wear. Now nearly everybody wants calf, which is the ideal material. Fall shoes will cost the consumer just fifty cents per pair more than he paid for his springtime “"icks, ” because: Toronto, Aug. 8~That the yellow peril automobiles, styles and higher wages have combined to jump the price of footwear, is the statement of local shoe and leather men fol- lowing the announcement that after September first the price of leather will be notched up 3y ten per cent. UP WHl. GO Speaking of the prospects of Medi- cine Hat; Mr. Terrill claims that in the very near future his city will take precedence in importance over any point between Winnipeg and the Coast. He supports this statement by drawing attention to the facili- ties which M-edicine Hat oflers to industrial enterprises, viz. power which he says is the cheapest in Ca- nada, an abundant supply of good water and competitive railway ratâ€" es. The fact that the Ogilvies have under construction a half million dol- lar mill with a capacity of six thou- sand barrels of flour per day, that another big milling company will in- stal an even larger plant, and that the Canada Cement Company will ex- pend a milliOn dollars in the erection of works at the Natural Gas City are indications. Mr. Terrill points out, of what may be expected in the way of development at Medicine Hat. I Toronto Globe: Mr. A. J. N.

Even the cones from the tree tops are as fresh as the day they fell. Capt. Janes spent eight months prospecting alone. He was hundreds of miles from the ship during that period. His discoveries show that thousands of years ago Bafin’s Land was a very difierent piece of country from what it is at the present time.

The fields, ,Capt. James says, are located in Bamn‘s Land. and the two are just 100 miles apart. In spite of their high alti- tude he declares they will be work- able all the year round. The coal is so easin secured that it can be dug from the surface with a shovel. COAL CAN BE DUG FROM SURFACE “This northern part of Canada. will be the greatest country in the world," said Capt.
