MICHAEL STROGOFF;
OR, THE IIUSSIAN COURIER.
BY JULES VERNE.
(O0N'l'INU'ED.)
Ills father-old Peter Strogoft, dead ten years since?
inhabited the town of Omsk, situated in the goveminell
of the the same name; and his mother llizirfa Strogoil,
lived there still. There, amid the wit sit-ppes 0! the
provinces of Uinsk zuid Tobolsk, had the famous hunts-
man brought up his son Michael to endure hardships.
Peter Strogoif waisn huntsinan by profession. Summer
and Winterein the burning heat, as well as when the
cold was sonietiiiies iifty degrees below zero-he scour
the frozen plain the thickets of bird) and larch, the
pine forests; seit ng traps; watcliiiig for small game
with his gun, and for large game with the spear or knife.
The large E:LlIle was nothing less tiizin the hiberlari bear.
zi foniiida lo and ferocious aniinsl. in size equalling its
fellow of the frozen sous. Peter Strogctf had killed more
than thirty-nine boars-that is to. say, the f-ortieth had
fallen under his blows; and, according to ltussian legends,
most huntsmen who have been lucky enough up the
tliirty-ninth bear, have succumbed to tho fortieth.
Peter Sirogoif had, ilt)Wi>'Vl-‘I’, asst-d the total number
without even a scmtch. From hat time, his sonliiichnel,
aged eleven years, never fail to not-oinpany him to
the hunt‘ carryin" the rag tina, or spear, l'9(ll.i)'.iO
come to ie aid of 'his father, who was ariiied only with
the knife. When he was fourteen, lliichael Strogoil had
killed his first bear, quite alone-thzit was nothing; but
after stri pin it, he dragged the gigantic anlma ‘s skin
to his fat ier’s iouso, nian versts distaiit, thus exhibiting
remarkable strength in a y so young.
This style of life was of great bent-tit toliim, and when
he arrived at manhood he could bear an amount of cold,
hen hunger, thirst, or fatigue. Like t is Yakout of the
nort ern countries. he was made of iron. lie could o
four-and-twenty hours without eating ton nights wit -
out sleeping, and could make hiniseif a shelter in the
open stegpe where others would have been frozen to
death. ‘ifled with marvelous acuteiioss, guided by the
instinct of the Iiclawaro of North Aiiiericn, over the
white plain, when every object is hidden in mist, or even
in higher latitudes, where the polar ni vht is prolonged
for man days he could find his way w l(’ll others would
have] no idea whither todirect their str :4. All is
father's secrets were known to im. llo hm learned to
read almost imperceptible sign the forms of icicles, the
appearance of the small bmnghes of trees, mists rising
far away on this hnrizon,“‘yague sounds in the air, ' -
tant reports, the tiivht of birds throu 'il the foggy :1
mos here, zi tiiousaiid circumstances w iicii are so many
wor s to those who can decipher them. Moreover, tem-
gered by snow like :i Daiiinscus blade in the waters of
yria, he had a frame of iron, as General Klssoif had said,
and what was no loss true, :1 heart of gold.
The only sentiment of love felt by lilichzu-1 Strogoff
was that which he eiitertnined for his motlier, the aged
Maria, who could never be induced to leave the house of
the Strogoils, at Omsk on the banks of the isiish, where
the old iuntsman and she had lived so long together.
When her son left her, he went away with a full heart,
but promising to come and see her whenever he could
possibly do so; and this promise he had zilways religious

Y Vi)
When Michael was twenty, it wasdeclded that he should
enter the ersonal service of the Em pcrcr of Russia, in the
s of t e couriers of the C7.'ir. The hardy. intelligen
ous, well-conducted young Siberian first distin uishe
iimself especially in ii journey to the (aucusus, t irough
the midst of Li. diillcult country. ravaged by some restless
successors of St-hamyl; then later, in an important mis-
sion to Petropolowski, in Kamscliatkn, the extreme limit
of Asiatic Russia. During these long journeys he dis-
played such inzirvcious coolness, prudence, and conraiglia,
in him the approbation and protection of ‘s
chiefs, who rapidly advanced him in his profession.
The furloughs which were his due after these distant
missions although he might be separated from her by
thousandsof versts, and winter had rendered the roads
almost impassable, he never failed to devote tohis ol
mother. Having been much employed in the south of
the empire, he had not seen old Maria for three years-
three ages? The first time in his life he had been so
long absent from her. Now, however, in :1 few days he
would obtain his furlough, and he had accordingly al-
ready made me ilfiltiolls for de arture for Omsk, when
the events whic have been re atedwccurred. Michael
Strogoif was therefore introduced the Cz21r’s pres-
enctta cilnf com ieto ignomnce of what the Emperor ex-
pec e rom im.

to his bureau, and, motioning to the Chief of Police to

The letter penned, the Czar re-rend it attentively then
signed it, precediiigliis name withithese words, “ liyt pa

cisive formula of t is Russian emperors.
The letter was then placed in an envelope, which was
sealed with the imperial arms.
The Czar, rising told Michael Sum of! to diaw near.
Michael advanced a few steps, an then stood motion-

The Czar again looked him full in the face, and their
