About three weeks afterward Mr.. Mar
ston found that he had business which
necessitated his leaving for England, and
very much to the regret of the iuhabi

Russia he went straight TO Paris, where he
called upon the Countess Cheraski, with
whom he had held no communication
whatever during the whole time he was
living at Narovsl.

She comm enced an action on behalf of
herself and her children for the restor-
alton of the title and estates. The regis.
ter of her marriage was produced, but
when it was examined it was found that
the name Of Michael Tokhtamish was
written over on erasure. This destroy ed
the value OF the register as evidence Of a
marriage between Sophia Uschakoff and
Michael Tokhtamish. The natural pre-
sumption, in fact, the moral certainty,
was that somebody else's name had been
erased from the place whsre the name of
Michael Tokh.Gmisb was written, and
further, that the somebody else was the
man who married Sophia Uskahoff.
Under these circumstances the evidence

two other witnesses who were present a.

SCANDAL. .MONGERS.

Do.you hear the scandalmongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison in a whisper,
In sigh?
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they 20.
Never noisy gliding smoothly as n snake
Supping here and sliding there:
Through the meadows fresh and fair
be'sing subtle poison in their wake.
Saw you not the scandal-monger
AS she sat.
Beaming brightly meath the roses
On her hat.
In her dainty gloves and dress,
Angel like, anu nothing less,
Seemed she, casting smiles and pleasing words
about.
Once she shrugged and shook her head.
Raised her eyes and nothing said
When you spoke OF friends, and vet IL left n
doubt.
Did you watch the scandalmonger
At the bali?
Through the music, rhythm, beauty,
Light and all,
Moving here and moving there
With whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on a sister-woman's fame
just whispered word or glance,
AS they fioated through the dance
And a doubt forever hangs upon name.
You will find the scandal mongers
Everywhere;
Sometimes men, but often women,
Young and fair;
Yet their tongues drip foul slime,
As they spend their leisure time
Casting mud Oh those who climb by work and
worth
Shun them, shun them as you go
Shun them. whether high or low:
They are but the cursed serpents of the earth.
