An hour later they were hasten.ng
along the road to Irkutsk, and it was
among the Russians they would at
tempt to follow what Alcide Jolivet
called by anticipation "the campaign
of revenge"
The emir made a gesture. Michael
Strogoff, pushed by the guards, APP
preached the terrace, and then in that
Tartar language which he understood
Feofar said to him:
Russian spy, you are come to see.
You have seen for the last time. In an
instant thine eyes shall be forever shut
to the lght!'
1t was not with death, but with
blindness that Michael Strogotf was
about to be stricken Loss of sight,
more terrible perhaps than loss of life!
The unhappy man was condemned to
lose his eyesight
Nevertheless on hearing the penalty
pronounced by the emir Michael Suo-
golf did not become weak. lie remain

If he were wishing to concentrate all
his life in this one last look.
To ask for pity from these fierce men
was useless and, besides, unworthy of
him. lie did not even think Of it. All

mission that had irrevocably failed, on
his mother, on Nadia, whom he should
never see again! But he did not allow
to be seen any OF the emotion which he
felt.
Besides, the feeling Of vengeance, to
/ be accomplished at some future time,
carried away his whole being.
Ivan said he, with n menacing
voice, Ivan. the traitor, the last threat

Ivan Ogaren shrugged his shoulders.
But Michael Srogofr deceived him
self. 1t was not in looking at Ivan
Ogarer that his eyes were t. be fixed
never more TO open.
Maria Strogof' came ana stood before
him.
"My mothcrw cried be. Yes, yes,
on thee must be turned my last look
and not on this miserable man. Re

see thy beloved figure; that my eyes
may close while looking at thee!'
The old Siberian, without uttering a
word, came forward.
Drive away this woman! said Ivan
Ogareff.
Two soldiers pushed back Maria Stro'

standing some PAGES distant from heT

Michael Strogoff had been ordered to
look. He did look. n swarm of female
dancers came upon the space reserved
for them. Various Tartar instruments,
united with the cultural voices Of the
singers, formed a strange harmony.
There were Il mandolin with a long neck

with two strings of twisted silk, kind
of ViolonCello, open at the back, fur

The man who repeated these words

Ivan Ogareff, after hav-
ing quilted Hnbcdoiro, arrived, accom-
panied Ivy II numerous staff Of Tartar
officers. His face was more serious
than usual, and his contracted outlines
indicated great anger, which was only
waiting for some object on which to
hurl itself.
Michael Strogon, lost in a group Of
prisoners, saw this man pass by. lie
had presentiment that a great calam-
fly was about 10 happen, for Ivan Oga-

ed and said:
81 have nothing new Of which to in
form you, Ivan"
Ivan Ogaref answered only in giving
n short command to one of his officers.
Immediately the ranks Of the prisoners
were trayersed in a brutal manner by
the soldiers. These unfortunate ones,
urged on with blows and pushed with
the wood of the lances quickly arrang-
ed themselves along the outer edge of
the camp. -Four lines of infantry and
cavalry drawn up at the back rendered
all escape impossible.
Order for silence was at once given,
and at sign from Ivan Ogareif san

group in the middle Of which was Mar
fa Strogon.
The old Siberian saw her coming.
She understood what was about to hap
pen. \ dsdainful smile played on her
lips. Then, turning to Nadia, she said
TO her in n low voice:
"You do not know me any longer, my
daughter Whatever happens and how
ever trying may be this examination,
not a word, not a gesture. 1t is for
,him, not for me, they search"
At this moment Sangarre, after hav-
ing looked around for an instant, placed
her hand upon the shoulder of the old
Siberian.
"What do you wish from me?" said
Maria 'Strogolf.
Come" answered Sangarre.
And, pushing her with her hand, she
led her into the middle of the reserved
space before Ivan CgarcM.
Michael Strogoir kept his cyelashcs
half closed in order that the brightness
of his eyes should not betray him.
Maria Strogoif, having come in front
of Ivan Ogaren, Strengthened her peFs
son, crossed her arms ana waited.
"Are you indeed Marta Strogor" de
manded Ivan OgarGG
"Yes," answered the old Siberian,
with calmness.
"Have you changed your mind as re-

a Tartar soldier, carrying that terri
BILE instrument of torture approached
Maria Strogoff.
The knout is composed of n certain
number of leather thongs to the ends
of which are attached twisted iron wire.
One can easily understand that to be
condemned to receive hundred and
twenty blows from such n whip is the
same thing as to be condemned to
death. Maria Strogoff knew it, but
she also knew that no torture upon
earth could make her speak, and she
had already offered the sacrifice of her
life for her sons safety.
Marta Strogoff, having been seized by
two soldiers, was thrown on her knees
on the ground. Her robe, having been
torn, exposed her naked back. A saber
was fixed before her breast at the dis
tance of only n few inches, and in case
she should bend under the pain her
breast would be pierced with the sharp
point.
The Tartar raised the lash.
He was waiting.
Go on"' said Ivan Ogareff.
The whip hissed in the air, but before
the blow had fallen n powerful hand

Michael Strogoff was there, He had
leapcd before this horrible scene! If
Mt the posthousc of Ichim he had re-
strained himself at the blow from Ivan
Ogare1, here before his mother who
was about to be struck, he was not able
to master himself.
Ivan Ogareff had succeeded.
"Michael Suogoffw he cried.
Then, advancing. he said:
"Ah, was this done by the man Of
Ichim"
himself" said Michael Strogoff, and,
raising the knout, he tore with it the
face of Ivan Ogareff himself.

in the tumult.
Twenty soldiers threw themselves on
Michael Suogoif, and they were about
to kill him. But Ivan Ogareff, from
whom a cry Of pain and rage had es-
capped. stopped them with motion Of
his hand.
This man is reserved for the justice
of the emir"
The letter TO the imperial armies was
found in the breast of Michael Strogoff,
who had not had time to destroy it, and
it was handed over TO Ivan Ogarcn.
The spectator who had uttered aloud
those words "well given" was no other
than Alclde Jolivet. His companion
and himself having halted at the camp
of Zabedelro, were present at this
scene.

at has always been matter of sur
prise how Ottumwa-with the local
feeling that has been, and is still, ex-
erted against her, and the large num-
Der Of citizens who have every spring
gone to Oregon and California-has
maintained the ascendency and at
tanned to the size and prosperity she
has. 1t is not at all uncommon to
hear those who expect our country and
town to grow up after the fashion of
those read of in the Arabian Nights
Entertainments that ours will never
be town of any Importance. or that
no improvement will be made this
year. Such predictions are made ev-
cry day, and still the facts show their
fallacy.
Three years and nine months ago
we arrived in Ottumwa. Its population
then was about 300 1t now has pop
ulation of at least 500, an increase OF
about 100 in our population annually.
In May, 1S4S. there was but one frame
building north of Court street, and but
five or six east of Second street. Go
count them now and see if they have
not grown in number wonderfully, TAX
ing all things into consideration. 1t is

The growth of Ottumwa during the
past years has been one of steady adj
vancement in many lines. Her indus
trial institutions have increased rapid
ly in numbers and have brought to the
city most prosperous and healthy
condition of business affairs. With this
development the city has extended it's
limits and upon what were at one time
open fields or wooded forests there
have gone up many comfortable and
beautiful homes for the occupancy of
the ever increasing population of the
city. The public spirit that has ever
been manifested by the citizens of OF
tumwa has made these matters of pub
lie advancement Of especial interest
to them since the establishment of the
town many years ago. Concerning the
early development Of Ottumwa, the
Couried of February rs, 1852, says edi-
torially:
ut is with pleasure that we are call
ed upon to notice the prospects of
our town. The coming summer will

countries of the globe. With the
great improvements that are constant
ly being made in the ocean vessels the
accommodations and comfort of the
voyage are being improved and the
journey is becoming one of greater
safety. The Courier of February
1852, contains the following article on
the experiences and trials of several
hundred emigrants from Ireland who
had sailed for this country from Liv
erpool in November previous.
Three vessels, with nearly 1000
emigrants, which left the port of Dub
lin for New York, early in October
last, have not since been heard of, and
very serious apprehensions prevail for
their safety
I'VE learn from late English pa
per that the ship Senator with up
wards of 800 emigrants on board,
which sailed from Liverpool on the Sth
of November for New York, had arriv-
ed at Fayal on the 18th ult., in dis
tress having been dismasted in a vio-
lent gale. which she encountered ten
or twelve days after leaving the Brit
ish channel. She had been buffeted
about en- the ocean nearly a month,
and no doubt there was immense suf-
fering on board

and ministers of foreign powers paid
their respects to the prince at the Ger
man embassy, and in the evening the
dinner at the White House. where only
men were guests, occupied the remain
ing hours of full day
When the visit of Prince Henry to
America was first proclaimed, it was
thought that the women would have
very little opportunity to meet his roy
al highness, and make him aware of
the Establishments of American wom-
en-. But it has turned out that the
gentler sex, in addition to Miss Roose-
velt were quite in the foreground, and
that the wives of the royal escort ac-
companied the party to the launching.
These women were Mrs T. A. Bing,
ham, Mrs. David Jane Hill, Mrs. Cor
bin. Mrs. Cowles and Miss Virginia
Evans, daughter of Rear Admiral Rob
| ley d. Evans.
Miss Evans is a splendid type of the
| American woman. Without being toe
democratic, she is quite without rever
ence for the limitations of social sets

and is everywhere considered a most
wholesome and charming girl. She
has been great belle in the army and
navy set at fortress Morrow, and is
the only young girl besides Miss Alice
Roosevelt to be included in the
princes immediate party.
Upon the return of the prince to
Washington on Thursday after the
launching, and the delightful festivi-
ties in New York, the capital renewed
its sprightliness, and necks were cram
ed again. The prince and his suite at.
tended the memorial exercises, in the
house of representatives to President
Mckinley and later in the day he was
escorted to Mount Vernon, the rem.
devious of all tourists, even royal
ones. The well kept grounds and old
colonial estate delighted the German
prince, and his good domestic senti
ments were gratified by the quaint and
| home-like atmosphere which pervades
the entire demesne, within the iron
gates of Mount Vernon.

wives, mothers and daughters who are
taking an interest in the Legislation

only four years since Ottumwa could
boast of anything better than log
cabin as a hotel The improvements
made in Ottumwa have not been made
by capital brought from abroad. Ev-
cry mans industry has been the CAPT
tai he commanded, and out of such
capital our town has been built.
IF there are no improvements max
ing, what becomes of the lumber that
is sawed in our mills? The two mills
saw enough every day to make re-

a circuit of five miles, besides good
quantity that is brought down the riv-

was especially rich, as was also that
of the Baroness Hengelmuller.
The hostess of the occasion was
Frau Won ! ,beur-Paschwitz, wife of
the naval attache and acting military
attache of the German embassy.
1t was a noticeable feature of the oc-
casion that neither the head of the
American navy nor of the army was
