For Russian, be appeared to me to be a
not unintelligent fellow, and pointed out
TO him the difficulties he would find in
making his way to Ivanova-a distance of
not less than twelve hundred versts from
Ekaterinburg, as the crow flies; and ad-
vised him, as he was used to mill work, to
stay and find employment where he was.
l was weak enough to offer to help him and
see what could be done in the way of get
ting passport for him. But the fellow
was bent on going forward. He was re-
solved, he said, TO see his family again,
AID he was resolved to see Basil Makaroff
This Makaroff was, l found, the ourddiRE
to whom Feodor attributed his troubles.
and it seemed to me that this particular
hankering to see this person meant a crav-
ing to have his revenge. l confess that
when l learned this much l felt no desire
to detain my friend Feodor longer than
was necessary. | was glad to give him
something more decent in the way of cloth
ing than he had brought, aud trife in
money to help him on his way, and to be
rid of him.
l never expected to see him again, nor
wished TO do so; and l was somewhat
startled when a few weeks later, among a
gang of convicts which were being
marched out of the town on their waY
eastward, l recognized Stepanovitch. 1
was standing close by when he passed,
and was so much surprised to see him tina.
l somewhat imprudently, perhaps, spoke
TO him BY name. But, will you believe it?
the ungratefel dog stared me in the face,
and marched sullenly by without word or
sign of recognition. $50 much" thought
I, ''for gratitudei"
Some months later, when the next sum-
mer was getting well advanced, we had
one night an alarm of fire. Many of the
newer mills at Ekaterinburg are of stone,
but the main building of ours, being com
paratively old, was of wood. It was
thing to blaze up like q box of matches. 1t
was not, however, in the main building
that the fire had broken out, but in some
sheds connected with the main buildings
by range Of shopping. This last was
stone-built, but, as i'll luck would have it,
covered with wooden shingles.

MEDICINE LODGE.

MEDICINE LODGE, August l.
Nothing of particular interest to
mopIe abroad has occurred at "the
L,dye' CHATS the short of it, during
lac present week. Land seekers, COM
nercial men aud tourists continue to
ind their way out to this beautiful
-iry of the Medicine Lodge River val
ley.
Medicine Lodge is situated near the
junction of Elm creek and the Medi-
inc river, between the two streams,
md six miles from the geographical
center of the county. Barber county
was organized in December, 1873. The
Lodge has about 800 inhabitants. and
is rapidly and substantially growing.
The track of the Southw estern Kansas
railway is now being graded from
Atica to this city, and the cars will
pull up at our depot during the COM
ing holiday season. This town is nest
beautifully located. Seven miles to
the west, in plain view, the Gypsum
Hills rise like walls, separating the In
dian territory from the interior of the
state. Between the hills and the town
the Medicine river, thickly skirted
with trees and shrubbery, winds its
way in a southwesterly direction. To
the eastward is Elm creek which flows
between the high divide on the east
and the table land, or hill-like eIeva-
lion, on which the city stands. On
| the south is continuation of the
Medicine River valley and the high,
rolling prairie. On the north, the
broad prairie acres, fertile and u ndn-
lating, stretch out till lost in that
great western empire, from whose
ranges and farms the efiete east is des-
tined to draw lite beef and bread.
Medicine Lodge makes no pretense
of rivalling the great CONNER
cial center of the Arkansas val
ley, but it does dream of the
day, not far in the future, when it
will eclipse all the intermediate and
surrounding Villages, like Wellington,
Harper, Anthony and kiowa. The
Lodge is modest in its pretcntions,
and does not feed al eether on wind,
and since the flood il has been eau
tious about the use of later. make
this statement to save other scribes
the trouble, rather than to cast any
stigma upon Medicine Lodge. Brick
blocks and business houses are being
built right along, and the questions Of
erecting a court house and water
works are being discussed. We are
rowing and don't You forget if.

nor smiled. nor cried since he struck the
wave of summer millinery on the corner Of

his frightened mother came for him at
night. He was the most abashed child ever
lost in Philadelphia.

The advantages of these spectacles are:
First-That they can be worn with per-
feet ease for any length of time ut one sit
ting, giving astonishing clearness of vision
| by candle or other artificial light, and COM
| fort to the spectacle wearer hitherto I'M
known.
Second-It requires professional guidance
even when good article is offered. Prot.
| Samuels not only has the best glasses that
can be found, but carefully examines the
eyes Of the patient and gives indispensable
| advice as to the proper selection Of them.
Third-These glasses are scientifically
adjusted TO every case of defective sight,

spectability and talent of AMERICA, also a
| number Of letters from wei. known people
who have used his glasses.
