He did not know if the child ind been born or not. if mother if the child bod been born or not. if mother or child were living or deed, 1f Dorothy,h'u deer little wife, were false or true. He had hard from her once after reaching Indie, when she had written in good spirits and with my word. of love for him, And in fondeu onticipntion of their meeting in 3 low months’ time. But sfter that letter there had been utter silence. He had written every week, he hsd telegrsphed several times, and to-dsy the mail wss in sgain. and there we: still no news. He had three or four letters of no importsnce on the chair beside him, and the English papers, but nothing from her. He hsd had news of herâ€"oh, yesâ€"the news contained in then postscript of Lord Aylmer’s letter, and he had dismissed that} from his mind st once as an ill-nstured lie, und for a week or two he bud scarcely troubled himself about it. Yet as the weeks crept hesvily by, esch week bringing fresh disappointment, that letter come back to his thoughts over and over agein. Could it be possible that his little girlâ€"oh. no,no â€"nothing should make him believe it, nothing, nothing. - n. And yet, why did she not write! She must he nt Palace Mnneion yet, because his letter had never been returned, nor yet his telegrams. Once or twice he hsd thought of writing to the landlord, or rather the ofice at which he hed taken the flat, but he shrank from doing that because he might be casting a. slur upon Dorothy’s fair name, which ehe would never be able to choke ofl'. No. that course would not do. He had thought and thought, he 1nd turned it all over in his mind, md, except the ides of writing to a private detective and putting the case in his hunda, he could think of no way of solving the mystery. While he win sitting there brooding over his thoughts, 9. young mm dressed in white garments, came through a. doorway behind llim, and pulled up a big chair a. little nearer to Dick'l, in which be carefully dia- poaed himself. “ Really, Dick,” he remarked, “ I don’t call this half e bad place. Not. so jolly as London, of course, but still not. half bad.” “ I hue it,” answered Dick, shortly. The other, fresh from home, looked at him with amused pity. “ Poor old chap ! like town bet-tar. Yes, of course. Why did you come out, than, eh? You got the post that was meant. for me.” “Lord Alymer got the appointment and I had to comeâ€"I had no choice. I shouldn't be here if I had, you mey be euro.” Dick answered. “Ah ! Lord Aylmer, queer old chap, eh?” “Awful old brute,” said Dick, with a sigh, “but he happened for the present to be the ruler of my fortunes, end ethorough- going old martinet he in, too.” “Ah! I new him the other day." Dick looked up with some interest. “Did you, though 2 In town 3” “Yes.” Nov, town to Dick meant where Dorothy was, and for half an instant he had a wild ideo that this men might be able to give him new: of her. It died slmoat in its birth, however, and he said indifl'erently enough. “Were you in town long '2" 7“; fortnight 'nluogebher.

Now, there’s a. pretty little woman living in the fist below her.” “Winn number is your sister's 1’" Dick naked in a. harsh, strained voice. “No. 6,” Mnrston answered. In the fluh of an instant Dick hnd made a wild calculation. Yes, he meant. Dorothy by “as pretty little wothan.” “W'ell?” He said. He felt lick and faint and cold; he knew that. now he was on the eve of news, and Marswn’a none had made him dread to hear it. Maraton, all in ignorance. went. on speak- ing. “Such a pretty girl.

For full five minutes Dick never moved; then he reverently took 05 his but and thanked God whiny he had made the way plain as last. , 7...-.. __ ' Yet, though the way was plain. it was not. an ens yone. It would be difliculb for him to get away from Madras. and neither letters or telegrams were evidently of any use, since Dorothy had not received these shat. he had sent. Decidedly, he must. go home, eVen if he went thelengnh of sending his fapers in and trusting to chance and 5:00 fortune to be able to make some sort goocf fortune to be able to make name sort of a livingâ€"enough to keep Dorothy and the child. But in any case, home he must go, to set. his wife’s mind at rest, and to force that. old sinner on his knees to sue for the mercy which he would not get. As soon as Lord Skevveraleigb, returned to the‘ house, Dick sent to not him if he could no him, and to him he explained something of the position of afl'airs, ending with, “And I must go home; if it costs me all I have in the world." Now. it happened that Lord Skevvers- leigh, though he liked Dick very well. hsd particularly wished to make Marston his military secretary, and had he been able to refuse his old friend Alymer, he would ‘ certainly have done so. There were, how- 1 ever, certain pages of past history which practically precluded this possibility. but they did not preclude him from allowing Dick to throw up his appointment and beteke himself home as soon as he liked; and with the very next steamer Dick said good-bye to India and to Government House and set sail for his native country, hurrying of)" the boat at Brindisi and journeying homewsrd overland, like an avenging spirit with whom the wicked old man who was at the head of his house, would have a very hard reckoning and but scant quarter. is ,,,, !__ LL-‘ For :Iways in his heart there was that. piteous appeal, “ This long silence is killing rueâ€"for God‘s sake put me out. of suspense, one way or the other.” ('20 BE cox'rrxvnp.) Though Not an Inch Long lle Find a BI: Gun and Disconcerted a Brltlsh Colony. Cape Town, South Africa. claims the honor of giving birth to the smallest crea- tnre ever known to become a gunner in the Royal Artillery, or any other artillery in the whole world. At the Castle, Cape Town there is a magnificent gun worked by elec' trieity,used for giving the midday and even ing time. One fine day all the military and civilians in Cape Town were astonished to hear the gun go off at 10.30 in the morning an hour and a half before the proper time, 12 being the uSual hour for firing. Messen- gers came from the General commanding the station,the Brigade Major,commanding officers of each regiment and battery stationed in Cape Town, and from every body interested, but the answer was that no person had been near the gun, nor had ‘ anybody interfered with the wires, battery or source from which it was fired. All the officials were fearfully puzzled at the extraordinary occurrence,but could give no explanation whatever. The General in command of the station became furious and said that there was mismanagement some- where, and gave orders for a strict search to be made by the officials for the guilty party. . 1 A I..-A _‘eL:.... .uuanlenr‘ tn SMALLEST GUNNER IN THE WORLD a. t, . P Search was made, but nothing resulted to throw any light on the extraordinary atfair, although the greatest possible pains were taken to solve the mystery. They had practically given the search up, when sud~ (lenly the no we came from the officials stating that the culprit had been caught and arrested. It seems the electric current for firing on? the gun is supplied by the Royal Observatory of Cape Town, and goes there by means of an instrument known as a relay that is in the central telegraph office of the station, the distance being about 500 yards. The action of the current going through the instrument’s main moves a sort of light tongue, which is very finely ‘ set, so fine that the least little thing would affect it. This forces the current directly utlvvu . imo wlrat t-hey Lérmfithe Lime fuses, whlch have the power of firing the gun at the Castle. vuuvnv. On examining the instrument one of the ‘ officials found a big brown spider inside. It appears that while having an exploring trip around the instrument the unfortunate spider must have touched this tongue suffi- ciently to move it, and consequently it fired ofi‘ the gun. The General commanding the station sent the spider to the Cape Town Museum, where he is now to be seen with a. card underneath him entitling him the “ Little Gunner,” and iving 3 full account of his adventure wit the Cape Town middwny time gun, which proved his last adventure, however.

But could Japan become the aggressor and attack Asiatic Russia! To my mind that is a. question of money rather than of relative fighting worth. J epan in not rich, though she cen make the war more cheaply than A CORRESPONDENT THINKS THEM THE BEST IN THE WORLD. Russia. and she might be unable to bear the strain of along struggle with a great power but renting the issue upon the fighting merits of the combatant armies the J upen- eae would put the Ruaeians to the severest military test they ever had. Why? to answer this 1 shall give reason for the belief that the J apeneee is the best soldier in the world. First is the matter of courage. He not only has no fear of death, but he does no. value life. So great are the honors paid to the bodies and familes of men who have fallen in battle that the common soldier or sailor looks to such a fate as to abright prospect or afair haven, and he goes to meet it not only unflinchingly, but with a smile. In all the battles that Japan has fought, from the bloody struggle at Ping Yang to the assaults upon the forts at Talien- wang, Port Arthur, and Wei-hai-wei, not a strv. 'rjler or a deserter has been known to the army. Every man did his duty. When at Chinchow, a soldier was wanted to go to the city gate under fire from the walls above, and blow it open with dyna. mite. every man who heard the request volunteered, and those who failed to get the perilous honor of the task were envi one of him who did. In Goren. a bugler, mortally wounded, blew the signal of ad- vance until he dropped dead at General Nodzu’s feet. Before Wei-hai-wei was won Major Okanabe and 500 mendid battle with 5,000 Chinese and never once thoughtofre- treat. A Lieutenant rushed into a deserted Chinese fort and rescued a burning joss stick from asack of gunpowder in a mag- azine. Trembling fingers might have cost him his life, but his hand was steady. I have seen lines of men march up to batters l which were one long The Relief of cmtral.â€"A Plucky Rescue on the Panjkora River. THE JAPS AS FIGHTERS. and there was not swaver nor a halt- in the advanceâ€"e calm. steady, Irresistible push forward. The charge of the Six Hundred was no braver than the action of the ambu- lance corps when it marched into the zone of fire on the beach near Wei-heiâ€"wei and tenderly picked up the wounded and dead while eeven Chinese ships, distant but a. few hundred yards, were bringing every D‘AA gun to bear against them. Thenvin the navy as well were examples of heroism which would glorify the annals of any coun- try. Witness the men who ran a wooden transport into the sea fight at the Yalu and pounded away with its little gun at the black Chen Yuen, withstanding broadsides and torpedoes, and coolly fought their flimsy ship while its cabins Were on fire. Witness also the Captain and crew that held to their wounded terpedo boat in Wei- hai-wei Bay, launching their missiles against the Chinese fleet until, with boiler fires out and overcome with cold,they froze to death at their posts. .aiu r Lv uvâ€"..- w- -_V_s Indifferent to death himself,the Japanese soldier or sailor is undismayed by its bloody spectacles. In the American civil war all officers in action noted the demoralizing effect upon advancing men of the dead and mangled bodies along the line of march,but on the Chinese battlefields the only eflect of such sights was to arouse the instincts of retribution. No Japanese fell ill or went into the bushes to tie his shoe, and then skulked to the rear when the order came to charge a bloody slope. The next consideration is that of patriot- ism. The love of the Japanese for his country is a fanaticism. The soldier enlists for a wage of but a few cents a day, but ii he thinks that Japan is having trouble to raise its war loans, as was reported to be L the case last winter,he offers to serve with- ;ut pay. A Lieutenant gets less than ten dollars a month, out of which he clothes E himself, but he never asks more. The honor usvu Ann-v v.._.. l Patriotism pervades the nation.

No Musanlman was ever more devoted to his prophet than is the Japanese soldier to Japan. In one of the battles a. trooper shouted “Vanzui” with his last breath, and it in said that when this news reached Japan the mothers of hundreds of soldiers wrote their sons to seek deeth that they might do the same.

They do not even grumble, .- - 2AA :_ AL‘L ah- Another item of superiority is that the Japanese soldier will march and fight on the smallest and cheapest ration. A ball or roll of compressed rice serves him for a. day, and if he can get a potato or a bit of fish, the latter of which he eats raw, he has On the march to Wei-hai-wei the army ‘ began very well in the matter of provi- Iions, but finally nothing was left but rice, and rice answered. 'Nhile I, as a. foreigner, lost forty-two pounds of flesh on this diet, the J apaneee soldier did camp and patrol duty and incidental fighting for twelve hours a day with nothing else to eat, and was in splendid physical condition when the surrender came. The importance of this fact upon a long march, enabling an army, as it does, to go ahead without the impedi- ‘ment of long provision trains, ie one that [all military men must appreciate. ,,___L J """ "' " "(1" Again, Japanese soldiers can march more rapidly than: any other troops, with the possible exception of the native Indian forces, the Sikhs and Goorkhas. Visitors -v---_, __V V ,V, of Japan are astonished when n ’rikishs man puts a stout foreigner in his little gig and runs ten miles with him at a. stretch. They are surprised at the long wslks which people of the upper classes take as a matter of course, and of the endursncefihown in manual labor in all its native forms. Now thatthe’rikishsmon,thefsrmer,the wrestler, artisan, the men about the country fills the ranks of the army, the troops can make forced marches which would to im ossible ‘ to solgiiers of European training an build. A final consideretion is the J epnneae stature. Soldiers in battle fire high. It is obvious, therefore. that, a short men firing high an a tall one may still hit him; but the returnfireofthe tell soldier wouldbe ineffective. Besides, more small men can get. behind a given point of defence ann present a smaller target. to the enemy than would be the case with soldiers of the stature of Russians, Germans, Englishmen, or even Frenchmen. I have now stated the case. The J aperi- ese soldier has the highest type of courage, patriotism, discipline, and marching endur- ance; he needs less food than a. European and he has the best possible build for a. fighting msn. The question is, Could the Russians beat him in battle, the numerical strength of the bellige rents being equal? Speaking as a correspondent, I simply say that when the great fight comes I would prefer to do duty with the Japanese. There would be less necessity with them to prepare for the vicissitudes of retreat. Kansau Clty Spnnlel Adopts a Brood of Motllerless Chlckn. "Bob” lives in a very ccmfortable way out in Kansas City.
