THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH, |

CHAPTER X,

‘But this is impossible!’ exclaimed the youth. ‘I cannot have been in two places at once. This is indeed strange !’

| ‘itis artifice and roguery !’ returned old | Martin. ‘Wilkins has no doubt passed | himself off for you in Valparaiso, This is as clear as the sun in heaven ! ’

‘Willins! Yes, it must beso!’ cried

Ulric, as the truth flashed upon him.

‘ Wilkins has taken possession of my pass» | port, my papers and all my goods. He | understood the particulars of the business which [ had to transact with Mr. Acosta, | as wellas myself, for I had made no secret | of it during the voyage; so it was very | easy for him to play my part, and that he | Should do so was Schleicher’s design, for | no doubt he sent him to Valparaiso for this | purpose. Now the plot is discovered. | Wilkins represente® himself in a false

light; and the misconduct, the disgraceful actions which he was guilty of, were laid to my charge. It is no wonder that not only Mr. Acosta, but Mr. Breitenisach also, should have been deceived. What a wicked and cunning scheme! I was res moved out of the way, and could not cons tradict it, and so it seemed as if I had coms mitted the most atrocious deeds. But, Martin, how shall we make these matters plain to Mr. Breitenbach ??

‘That may be difficult at first,’ replied Martin thoughtfully. Though he loves you greatly yet he has been so blinded by appearances against you, that it will not be easy to make truth evident. If Captain de Silva were at hand, it would not be so hard, but he is far off, and will scarcely re« turn here; there is, therefore, no one but Wilkins, and he is a cunning. dastardly rascal, who will not be easily caught. We dare not employ force, ard he will soon see through stratagem. Humph! Ulric, I will think the matter over until morning, and then we will see what is to be done; until then you can remain concealed here. The landlord of this house is an old acquaint~ ance of mine, and at my request will will- ingly lodge you here for a couple of days, Uave you any money, my boy?’

* Not a shilling,’ replied Ulric smiling ; ‘how should I get it?’

Martin gave the youth his purse, and promised to send him more, that he might

It appears from American newspapers that Western emigrants haye other foes than prairie fires, grasshoppers and swins | dled Indians, for during the fast season at least 1,000 sheep and lambs have been dess troyed by welves in the northern part of the State of Wisconsin alone | The Berlin Gazette (official). commenting on Earl Derby’s statement in the House of Lords, admits that the increase of French ‘army cadets has created a certain amount |

tions in Germany. The idea of requesting | France to reduce her forces or discontinue | military organization was never entertained | or mentioned.

The Earl of Derby declined to lay before | the House of Lords the correspondence be tween Grest Britain and Continential | Powers, arising out of recent war alarms, but spoke at some length concerning the rumors which had their origin in the vast increase inthe French army. He claimed that England, in offering her friendly offices to dispel misunderstanding between Ger- many and Trance, had made no pledges, but at the same time her policy of non.

intervention did not mean indifference to the peace of Europe.

The Shah of Persia has profited nothing by his visit to Europe,so far as economy and civilization are concerned. He has been marrying his daughter, and the affair has cost him £60.000. He has also been reorganizing his army, and has borrowed £48,000 to do it. He is also going in largely for the purchase of arms. Lately he has received a ghastly present—2,500 human heads cut from Turkmans. In this tnatter some economy was practised, for, in order to save the cost of transport, the skulls werecut out,and only the tanned skins were sent.

Kindness in Horse Training.—Kindness is the leading instrument to educate and improve the horse. Force begets resist- ance. It compels the oppressed to fight back to protect himself from oppression, and he contracts the habit of rebellion. It destroys the mutual confidence between the horse and his driver that must exist to have the former to the call in every emer- gency. Patience and perseverance will accomplish wonders. It has brought many young trotters of moderate promise to the highest round in the temple of fame. The skilful trainer uses reason for his guide and steers clear of those breakers that have wrecked so many young horses, He adopts intelligent instruction to educate the trot- ter. He has added incalculable value to the breed developing the full powers of | some of their choicest scions, Few persons | ever heard of Humbletonian till some | Shark and Dexter appeared upon the turf. | The inherited trotting powers of the colt | can be developed to their utmost extent by kindness united with firmness.

A very sad proof of the danger of play> | ing with firearms was given in Boston last | Monday evening, which resulted in the in- | stant death of a young lady named Miss | Belle Whittier. It appears that a lady) friend, named Mrs. Bamford, intent upon | playing a practical joke and frightening the | young lady, stepped softly into a room, and | while the latter’s back was towards her, | presented a revolver and pulled the trigger, | expecting to see Miss Whittier start. To) the surprise and horror of Mrs, Bamford, | however, there was a flash and report, and | then a stifled and fall, and her’friend | lay on the floor, with a bullet in her brain dying withouta word. The perpetrator of this criminal, foolish piece of business will, it is feared, lose her reason. Thus the simple act of mischievous impulse has brought gloom on a large circle of friends. The practice of leaving firearms where ladies and children can get at them is bad enough, but the two common practice of snapping caps in the face of a friend, or

oe revolver at him to see him wince, cannot be too strongly condemned.

provide himself with better clothes, for those which Ulric wore were mere rags, and bore testimony to the hardships he had endured.

‘Whilst Ulric was thinking over this favorable turn in his affairs, old Martin went

| back to Mr. Breitenbach, who did not re-~

ceive him very kindly,

‘Listen old man,’ he said sternly. ‘1 desire that you have no further intercourse with a lad whom I have obliged to turn out of my house, Such intercourse can do you little credit.’

‘But if the youth is quite innocent ?’ asked old Martin, with an eager glance at his master,

‘Innocent?’ exclaimed Mr. Breitenbach. ‘Have you indeed allowed yourself to be deceived by his lies?’

‘It is you who have been blinded by appearances my dear master,’ returned Martin coldly. ‘I know now how the whole affair has happened, and I am aware also that you have done the dear boy the greatest injustice. But only have patience! Appearances deceive, but truth triumphs ; and old Martin will take care that this good old proverb will prove true in this instance, The youth is innocent Mr. Breitenbach.’

‘Prove it to me,’ returned the latter.

‘Not now.’ Martin «quietly ; ‘ for you are so prepossessed against Ulric, and are so convinced that he is a deceiver, that you would give me as little credit as you did him, But I will bring you convincing proof of his innocence, if you will only give me full power to act as I think best.’

‘And am I not to know how the matter

§ aid

| stands?’

-No! For if you knew it you would

| immediately let your wephew, Mr. Schlei- | cher, into the business, and then the whole

opportunity for exposing a most atrocious villiany would be lost. No sir, let me act freely for a short time, and [ promise you Iwill make Ulric’s innocence so apparent that even the most incredulous must be convinced,’

‘But, Martin, is it really within the range of possibility that Ulric should be guiltless?’ asked sir. Breitenbach, ‘Only read my friend Acosta’s letter, and compare its contents with the news we have receives ed about the youth, and resist, if you can the necessity of condemning him. It is quite impossible that he should be worthy of notice.’

‘And yet he is!’ returned Martin, with such firm confidence that Mr. Breitenbach began to be doubtful as to what might arise out of this mysterious history,

‘Great God!’ he exclaimed, ‘ if it were possible—if it were true, that this boy could clear himself of the crime laid to his charge, nothing could give me greater joy Take care, Martin, not to raise hopes in my heart which may be crushed in the end.

‘Oh, as to hope!’ replied Martin joys fully. ‘Ulric is just the same as we once knew him, and there is no stain upon him. Let me have my way, sir; and to-day you shall press the dear boy with affection to your heart.’

Mr. Breitenbach walked up and down the room undecided. After a brief inters yal he stopped before Martin, and looking earnestly at him, said sharply. ‘ Well, you shall have your way! I will trust you! You have been for more than forty years a good and faithful servant, and you will not now | hope prove yourself a fool in your old age.’

‘But will you trust me, Mr. Breitenbach,’ urged Martin; -if you do not give me permission to act freely, I would rather not say or doanything to clear up this myss tery.’

‘ Yes, I will: but take the consequences upon yourself, if you do not, as I expect, succeed,’

‘Thanks, my dear master,’ exclaimed Martin, joyfully. ‘And now, Mr. Breiten- bach write, if you please, immediately to the first magistrate in Hamburg, to desire that a certain person, called Wilkins, who holds a situation in your office, be taken into custody without delay, and his pro- perty seiz@d, as this man has committed serious misdemeanors, This is the first step necessary to be done.’

“@Lut how can I proceed in such a man- ner against a person whom you may sus-

| pect but who may also be innocent?’ re- ; turned Mr. Breitenbach. ‘This will not

do,’

‘Nothing will help us so much as this.’ said Martin. ‘I have your promise, and jet the consequences of these proceedings fall upon me if we should be wrong, Write, my dear sir, I pledge myself that by

lair.

Opposition availed nothing , besides, Mr, Breitenbach had given his word; and he, therefore, sat down to write the required note, which Martin placed in his pocket.

‘Tt is all in a fair train,’ he observed, ‘And you shall now know, Mr. Breiten+ bach, why I wish to secure this fellow.’

‘Martin then related, circumstantially, what artifices had been employed to rnin Ulric, and to deceive, not only Mr. Breits enbach, but also his correspondent in Val- paraiso. The power of truth, urged by the servant with great warmth, triumphed over Mr. Breitenbach’s doubts, and he now urged Martin to take the necessary steps to secure Wilkins without further delay. He even expressed a wish to hasten to Hamburg, and see that every precaution was taken; but Martin dissuaded him, for he feared the effects of too much excite- ment upon the naturally irritable constitu» tion of his old master; and Martin pro- mised to inform him of every proceeding he should take to bring the truth to light,

{t was towards evening when Martin ars rived in Hamburg. He went directly to the magistrate; and when he had related the circumstances of Wilkins’ criminal cons duct, he obtained a warrant for his arrest, and he afterwards proceeded, accompanied by some of the police, to Mr. Schleicher’s house, where Wilkins occupied the room which had formerly belonged to Ulric. Martin entered this room without difficulty, but found the bird had flown; he was, therefore, obliged to content himself with examining his effects. Whilst the police-~ officer was making a search through the room, Mr.Schleicher came in, and demand- ed roughly what this intrusion meant.

‘It means that we intend to catch a rogue in his own nest!’ replied Martin, coldly. ‘The tricks of the worthy Mr. Wilkins are discoverad since Ulric has escaped from the kidnappers, and is returned to his foster- father. And I only wish that no one else may be concerned in this disgraceful trans. action, except the scoundrel for whom | have a warrant in my pocket.’

At these words Mr. Schleicher became deadly pale, and could scarcely sustain him self. Even Martin felt some pity for the poor wretch whose guilt was quite visible on his distorted visage, and he said gently to him, aside—

‘Mr. Schleicher, you are the nephew of

my much-venerated master, and, therefore, I have taken care not to compremise you in the aflair. No one yet knows whether you have any share in it. But you can best decide whether the papers of Wilkins will implicate you. Take your measures quick ly, for you see truth must now triumph. Throw yourself at your uncle’s feet, and beg his pardon. Perhaps justice may yield to mercy, and he may forgive you the crimes you have practised on his foster-son. But delay not—you know better than I do what danger awaits you.’ Mr. Schleicher passed his hand over his forehead, which was moist with perspiras tion, murmured a few unintelligible words, and suddenly rushed out of the room, Mar- tin neither thought about him nor followed him. He remained quietly in Wilkins’ room; and, having desired the police of- ficers to be in readiness, he awaited the re. turn of Wilkins.

Hour after hour passed away , the clock from St. Nicholas’s tower announced mid- night, and all became more and more still in the streets. At last steps approached the house. The house door was opened, and a man ascended the stairs, singing careless- ly.

‘ Here is the villian! Be ready!’ whisper- ed Martin to the police-officers. ‘The rogue is certainly just come froma tavern, as he is so merry, and he little dreams that he will spend the rest of the night in prison. Yes, lies have triumphed until now, but truth is coming to light !’

The handle of the door was turned, the door was flung open, and Wilkins stumBled into the room. The police-oflicers imme> diately seized him. Wilkins uttered an exclamation, and tried to disengage him- self from their grasp; but the men held fast, exclaiming—

‘In the name of the law—no resistance !’

At these words, Wilkins was seized with sucha panic that he yielded without fur- ther resistance to his fate, and cried out that he was ruined.

‘Yes, you are ruined,’ replied old \iar- tin. ‘The hour of retribution is come. Ulric has happily escaped from your good friend and abettor, Captain de Silva, and is returned to Hamburg. You can now only hope for mercy if you readily deliver up al] the papers and property of the injured youth, and confess alt the crimes and schemes which enabled you to cast upon Ulric the imputation of falsehood aad roguery.’

‘ Mercy—pity !’ cried the miserable young man, falling upon his knees before old Martin. ‘I was only a tool in Mr. Schleich. er’s hands, and did nothing but what he desired me. I will confess all, dear Mr. Martin, if you will not send me to prison. In that trunk you will find everything be-~ longing to Ulric, and also letters from Mr. Schleicher, which will prove that I am quite blameless. You should arrest him! I! only assisted ""

Martin unlocked the trunk, and tound in a secret drawer, not only Ulric’s passport and credentials which were necessary for transacting the business with Mr, Acosta in Valparaiso, but also a minature, and letters | written with Schleicher’s own hand. He put the papers quietly into his pocket, but gazed on the picture with the greatest as- tonishment, and exclaimed to Wilkins— ‘ Unhappy man, where did you get this ?”

‘It belongs to Ulric!’ returned the lat, ter. ‘lL found it amongst his papers, and have kept it ever since. Oh, take every- thing, Mr. Martin, only don’t send me to prison.’

‘Great God!’ murmu:ed Martin to him- self ; ‘should Ulric——but no, it is impos- sible! And yet, how could he otherwise become possessed of the picture? I must ask him. If it should be so — gracious heavens, then will all the artifices which were contrived for his ruin have worked to- gether for his good! And, indeed, it is not impossible. He isa foundling—does not

| know who his parents were-—-he was found

on the field of battle. Oh, Mr. Breitenbach, what a joyful surprise—what happiness— what a blessing from heaven is in store for you !——-Away with him!’ cried Martin to the police-officers, and he pointed to Wils kins, ‘He must suffer his punishment, but take care that he is not too severely treated in prison. To-morrow I will myself look after him, Take this trunk and the other effects with you, but tell the director of the police that | have kept these papers and this miniature. I shall be able to ex- plain my reasons for doing so. And now to my dear boy !’

Wilkins was led away in spite of his cries and lamentations; and old Martin went to the inn, where he had provided a lodging for Ulric. We felt inclined to waken him out of his sleep, in order to obtain from him some certainty rspecting the conjectures which oppressed his own heart and anxiety: But it was still night, and it had not yet struck two o’clock ; so he changed his mind, and went to Mr. Breitenbach’s house. The old gentleman had long been in deep and placid slumber.. ‘ Why should I dis, turb him ?’ said Martin to himself. ‘ A few hours’ patience, and with the morning’s dawn the truth will come to light ! What rejoicings there will be, if we find the lost son again !’

ARCTIC NOTES.

Captain Nares, who is in command of the new British Arctic expidition,recently made an address at Winchester, before the college boys, in which he gave a variety of interest- ing particulars connected with his previous experience in the frozen regions.

ICE WATER AS A HEATER.

Speaking of sledge expeditions, he said they always made it a point to encamp on the level snow, over the water, the heat given off by the water underneath warming them considerably, and the tent was warm. er when spread over the ice than over the snow.

BOOTS AND OTHER CLOTHING. He next describes the inside of the tent, the clothing, etc., and stated that their footgear was ihe only thing they took off. When they took their boots off, they were necessarily damp, and unless they put them under their beds they would freeze; so they lay on themall night to keep them warm for the morning. While on board the ship, taking short walks and retiring toa dry cabin, sealskin clothes, he said, were very good; but as soon as they started on a travelling expes dition, having only a common light tent to which to retire, they could wear nothing but flannel and cloth clothes, covered with a light, outer duck suit, which caught the snow. ‘They started wearing their skin was dresses, but they were limp enough the first evening, in the morning they found them frozen as hardas boards. It was im- possible to put them on, and they were jeit on the ice for the bears.

FREEZING OF WATER BOTTLES. Captain Nares, next referred to the water bottle, which was worn inside the dress next the skin. Though the inner side ofthe bottle was warm, the outer skin frozen. A layer of ice collected on the cuter side of the bottle, and day by day gradually became thicker, and in a week they were all thrown away. For the present expedition they were trying to cover the bottles with flannel, but these would be just the same.

He called attention to the {act that they gradually became reconciled to the want of water, and they merely had half a tumbler- full in the middle of the day when they stopped for lunch. This was exactly the experience of all arctic travellers. He mentioned that when the men in his party, on leaving the tent, were offered an extra quantity of either tea or grog, they all chose the tea,

ARCTIC TEMPERATUi.E.

On the 4th of November, Captain Nare’s party saw the sun for the last time until the 5th of February, after an absence of 93 days. He stated that the coldest tempra~ ture of all was 62 degaees below zero, which was equal to92 degrees of cold, of the same amount of cold as would balance a hot temperature of 126 degrees, and this agreed with the highest heat ever registers ed, As long as they were on board the ship in calm, they could walk about, but immediately there wa- the slightest wind they were frostbitten.

AIMS OF THE NEW EXPEDITION.

Captain Nares said, in conclusion, that in the present expedition it would all depend on the favorable or unfavorable state of the ice how far they got north, and where they should have the depot ship. Should they be fortunate enough to reach latitude

2, as Hall did easily (to which they knew the land extended), they would have every prospect of being able to journey the five hundred miles still cutting them from the pole. Ofcource if there were land there, they could only skirt around the shores, If there were water, one of the slips would be taken upas far as possible. The pre- vious expedition in this direction had never been sufliciently equipped for travelling. In the last voyage, by the Polaris,no travel- ing, to speak of was attempted, and they merely knew that the land extended to some 50 or 60 miles further on without any appearance of its coming to an end, Of course in the prosent expedition, they would push as near the pole as possible ; butafter the first week in September one ran the risk of the ship never been actually stationary in the harbor, and unable theres fore, to make the base of departures for sledge journeys. She might even be drift- ed by the current ignominiously and help- lessly to the southward, perhaps passing the consort, who would necessarily be posted in a protected harbor. However with Ciod’s help, they would do their best and the meeting might depend on it they would not fail through want of perseverance,

ARCTIC AMUSEMENT,

A sick man in the arctic circle would not only be a burden to himself, but so handi- cap his messmates as probably to put in jeopordy the success of the undertaking. Absolute health has therefore been made a sine qua non; and it may be assumed that all truly healthy men are of a cheerful dis-~ position.

But the expidition, is provided with arti-~ ficial aids to good fellowship. The Ad- mirality have not made ita condition that the officers should be able to sing a good song or dance a hornpipe, but such like accomplishments are of great importance under the circumstances, and measures will

Mr. Clements Markham remarks that the ‘most valuable’ qualifications arctic services are aptitude for taking part in those ‘winter amusements which give life to the expedition during the months of forced inaction,’ and in his arctic navy list he has recorded the part which each officer took in the polar theaticals. Captain Nares, while mate under Kellett, sustained the character of Lady Clara in the historical drama of Charles If. ; and he will probably see the stage of the Alert does not lack novelties, Admiral Sherard Osborn was manager of ‘the Arctic Philharmonic En- tertainments,’ on board the Pioneer; Ad- miral Ommanney was manager of the Royal Arctic Theater,’ on board the Assist~ ance, and took the part of Mrs.Crank in the farce of Did you ever send your Wife to Cam-~ berwell? Admiral Ninas performed Sir Simon in Miss in her Teens, Perriwinkle in A Bold Stroke for a Wife, and other parts ; General Sir Edward Sabine was also a member of the now historic ‘Arctic Theater,’ ind acted Lord Minnikin in Bon Ton.

In fact, the majority of the mos: noted arctic navigators were, from exigencies of their position, admirable amateur performa ers ; and in furnishing a theatical wardrobe and appurtenances, the government are contributing in no mean degree, and per- naps, in a much greater extent than they suppose, to the success of the arctic expedition of 1875,

i es ° SAFETY AFER WRECK, Paul Boyton’s successful swim across

the Channel is likely to prove an event of mere importance than a rowing match for the championship of the world, or an at» tempt to walk a thousand miles in a thou- sand hours, It has demonstrated the possibility of almost perfect safety after wreck, if near shore, Of all the wrecks that happen probably not over one in ten is in mid-ocean; the far greater number happening near toland A dress of such buoyancy that it floats the wearer without effort on his part would, in the case of any wreck happening near to land,save the lives of nearly all fortunate enough to be pro- vided with it. The great swim across the Channel will have this effect, that it will command the attention of the civilized world, and at one stroke, as it were, do more to hasten the adoption of proper means of safety after wreck than could have been done by years of writing and speechsmaking. And in this, we take it its great importance as an event lies,— Toronto Mail.
