The skin is the seat of an almost end. less variety of diseases. They are known ,by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, fre! from all eraptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of .arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigilance is the price of a beautiful complexion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe., 74 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis. No., says: "My daughter was aflicted for years with a disfiguring eruption on her face, wich resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene. fit. Many :edicines were prescribed, but with out result, until we decided to try S. S. S.. and by the time the first bottle %as finisned the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smcoth. She is now seventeen years old. and not a sign of the embarrassing'disease has ever returned." S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable. Bad blood makes bad complexions. purifies an d invigo rates the -old and smakes new, rich blood that nourishes the body and keeps the skin active and healthy and in proper condition to perform its part towards carrying off'the impurities from the body.

"Bzt do you say that he hi submitted to a terrible affront in tli posthouse of Ichim?" "le has borne with it." answered N: dia. lowering her head. "Has he submitted to it?" murmure Marfa Strogoff, trembling with fear. "Mother, mother." cried Nadia, "d not condemn him. There is a seer( 1 there of which God alone is the jud; at the present time!" "And," said Marfa, raising her hen and looking at Nadia as though she di sired to read the depth of her soul this hour of humiliation, "have you d spised this Nicholas Korpanoff ?" "I have admired him without undei standing him," answered the youn girl. "I have never felt him to be mor worthy of respect than he is at tb present moment." The old woman was silent for a m< ment. "Was he tall?" she asked. "Very tall." "And very handsome-is it not so Come, tell me, my girl." "He was very handsome," answere Nadia, blushing deeply. "It was my son! I tell you it was m son!" exclaimed the old wcman. en bracing Nadia. "Your son:" said Nadia. amaze< "Ycur son!" "Come," said Marfa, "let us get I the bottom of this. my child. You companion, your friend, your )rotecto; had a mother. Did he never speak t you of his mother?" "Of his mother?" said Nadia. "11 spoke to me of his mother-as I spok to him of my father-often. alway, He adored her." "Nadia, Nadia, you have just told m about my son." said the old woman. And she added impetuously: "Was he not going to see his mothe1 whom you say he loved, on his wa. through Omsk?" "No," answered Nadia; "no, he wa not." "Not!" cried Marfa. "Tou dare t tell me not'" "I have said it, but It remains for m to inform you that from motives ur known to me and which had to guid him before every other consideration was given to understand that Nichola Korpanoff had to traverse the countr In the most absolute secrecy. It wa for him a question of life and of deat and, more sacred still, a question o duty and honor." "Of duty in reality, of imperiou duty," said the old Siberian, "of tha kind for which a person sacrifices es erything, for the accomplishment o which he would deny himself every thing, even ,the joy of coming to giv a kiss, the last perhaps, to his old moth er. All that you do not know, Nadic all that I did not know myself at thi moment I know. You have made m understand all. But the light whic] you have thrown into the deepest darl ness of my heart, that light, alas, may not cause to enter your owl'. Th secret of my .son, Nadia, since he ha not told it to you, I must keep for hum Forgive me, Nadia. The good deed yo1 have done me I cannot return to you. "Mother, I ask nothing from you, answered Nadia. All was thus explained to the old Si berian, all, even the Inexplicable con duct of her son with regard to hersel in the inn at Omsk In presence of th< witnesses of their meeting. There wa: no doubt that the yeing girl's compan Ion was Michael Strogoff and that 1 secret mission, some important dis patch- to be 'carried across the invade< country, obliged him to conceal hil quality of the czar's courier. "Ah,.my brave boy!" thought Marfa "No, I will not betray you, and torture: hall not wrest from me the avowa that it was you whom I saw at Omsk. Marfa could with a word have pai< Nadia for all her devotion to her. Sht could have told her that her compan Ion, Nicholas Korpanoff, or, rathier. Mi chael Strogoff, had not perished in the waters of the Irtish, since it was soml days after that incident that she hat met him, that she had spoken to him But she restrained herself, she wvas si lent and contented herself with saying "Hope. my child. Misfortune wil not overwhelm you. You will see you: father again. I feel it. And perhap: Ihe who gave you the name of sister i not dead. God cannot have allowet your brave companion to perish. Hiope my child, hope. Do as I do. Th< mourning which I wear is not yet fo my son." Such was now the situation of Marf. Strogoff and Nadia toward each othei The old- Siberian had understood all and if the young girl was ignoran of the fact that her companion s. much regretted still lived she knew a least the relationship which he beh~ toward ner whom she had made lie: mother, and she thanked God for hav Ing given b~er that joy and pleasur thus to be able to replace at the sid of the prisoner that son whom she ha lost. But that which neither the one no the other could know was that Michae Strogoff, taken at Kalyvan, was one o the same convoy and was hound lik< themselves for Tomsk. At length. on the 15th of August, to ward evening, the convoy reached thi little town of Zabedeiro, some thir't: versts from Tomsk. At this place the route again lay along the course of th< Tom, All this night the prisoners were t< camp on the banks of the Tom. T[h< emir, in fact, had deferred until th< next day the entry of his troops int Tomsk. It had been decided that: military display should mark the in~ auguration of the Tartar headquarter: in this important city. Feofar-Khal already occupied its fortress. but the body of his army bivouacked under th walls, waiting for the moment to mag a solemn entry. Ivan Ogareff had left the emair a Tomsk, where they had both arrive' the evening before, and be returned 1< the encampment at Zabedeiro. Ni'x day he had to start from this place with the rear guard of the Tartar army A house had been placed at his disps al where he could stay the uight. .A sunrise, nnder his command. hiorse' ami foot set out for Tomsk, where the emi) wished to receive them with ali tihl pomp and display of an Asiatie sove'r eign. When the orders for a halt had bet' given, the prisoners, worn out with1 three days' journey, a prey to the mnos burning thirst, could at length quene: their thirst and take some repose. zon was still lighted UP oy the twilight, when Nadia. supporting Marfa Stro goff, reached the banks of the Ton. The two had not been able so far to penetrate the ranks of those who thronged the high bank. and they came to drink in their turn. Thle old Siberian bout over the fresh stream, and Nadia. having plunged her hands into it. carried it to the lips of Marfa. Then she refreshed herself in her turn. The cold water .of the pure stream seemed to give back life to the old woman and the young girl. Sud denly Nadia, as she left the banks, straightened herself. An involuntary cry escaped her lips. Michael Strogoff was there and only some paces from her! It Was he! At the cry of Nadia Michael Strogeff e had started, but he had sut~cient com1 mand of himself not to utter a word which could compromise him. And yet at the very moment that Na d dia had recognized him he had recog nized his mother. Michael Strogoff at o this unexpected meeting. not feeling t himself to be any longer master of him e self, raised his hand to his eyes and im d mediately left the spot. Nadia was in stinctively hastening forward to rejoin him when the old Siberian whispered n these words in her ear: "Stay, my daughter!" "It is he!" answered Nadia in a voice trembling with emotion. "He lives, g inother! It Is he!" e "It is my son," answered Marfa Stro goff; "it is Michael Strogoff, and you see that I do not take one step toward him. Follow my example." Michael Strogoff had just experienced one of the most violent emotions which It is ever given to man to feel. His mother and Nadia were there. Those d two prisoners, each of whom seemed to dold the first place in his heart, were there joined with him in one common misfortune. Did Nadia know who he was? No, for he had seen the gesture of Marfa Strogoff holding her back at the moment she was about to rush upon him. Marfa Strogoff had understood 0 all and kept her secret. r Michael Strogoff could then hope that - this fresh and unexpected meeting at 0 the camp of ZabedeIro would have no injurious consequences neither for his mother nor for himself, but he did e not know that certain particulars of that scene, rapidly as It had passed, had been gained by Sangarre, the spy e of Ivan Ogareff. The gypsy was there, a few paces from the bank, watching as ever the old Siberian, without her suspecting It. She had not been able to perceive Mi chael Strogoff, who had already dis appeared when she turned round, but the gesture of the mother, withhold 0 ing Nadia, had not escaped her, and a light from Marfa's eyes told her every e thing. There was no longer any doubt that the son of Marfa Strogoff, the courier of the czar, was now at Zabedeiro ' among the prisoners of Ivan Ogareff. Sangarre did not know him, but she sknew he was there. She did not then attempt to discover hi'm, a thing which would have been impossible in the midst of this numerous crowd. As for again spying after Nadia and Marfa Strogoff, this was equally use less. It was evident that these t wo wo men would be on their guard. and it would be impossible to seize by- sur -prise anything of a nature to compr-o mise the courier of the czar. The gypsy had then only one thought -to warn Ivan Ogareff. WTherefore she immediately left the camp. 'A quarter of an hour afterward she arrived at Zabedeiro and was shown into the house occupied by the iieuten ant of the emir. Ivan Ogareff immediately received the gypsy. "What do you wish. Sangarre?" he 'asked. "The son of Marfa Strogoff Is at the . camp," answered Sangarre. "A prisoner?" I "A prisoner." S"Ah," cried Ivan Ogareff, "I knew" 3"You k"'w nothing. lyan," saii the .gypsy, "ft' you do not even know Shim." ."But do you .know him? Y~ou have seen him, Sangarre?" S"I have not seen him, but I saw his mother betray herself by a movement .which has told me everything." S"Do you not deceive yourself?" S"I do not." "You know the importance I attach to the arrest of this courier," said ivan Ogareff. "If the letter which was sent to him from Moscow reaches lrkuitsk. and It should be handed'to the grand jduke, the grand duke would be on his guard, and I should not be able to catch him. I must have this letter at any price. Now,. you have just told me that the bearer of this letter is in my : power. I repeat it, Sangarre, do you I not deceive yourself?" Ivan Ogareff had spoken with great Sanimation. His emotion bore testimony to the extreme importance he attached i to the possession of this letter. Son ,garre was not at all troubled with the persistency of the fresh inquiiry. r"I am not deceived. Ivan." she an swered. "But, Sangarre, there are at the camp several thousand prisoners, and you say you do not know Michael Stro Sgoff?" >"No," a'nswered the gypsy, whose tface lighted up with a savage joy. "I iindeed do not know him, hut his moth Ser does. Ivan, we must force the moth -er to speak." 3"Tomorrow she shall speak!" said Ogareff. Then he held out his hand to the gyp sy, and she kissed It. without there be ing in this act of respect habitual to the people of the north adything degrading or servile. Sangarre returned to the camp. She found the place occupied by Nadia and Marfa Strogoff and passed the night in watching them both, with licr ears open for any information. She could hear nothing. By an instinctive feel' ing of prudence not a word was ex changed between Nadia and Marfa Strogoff. [TO BE CONTINUJED.] Their Little Spat.
