"Another burglary on my square last
night" said DR.. Willis, while dining with his
partner the other evening. "For my part,
I'm tired OF paying taxes for the privilege of
being robbed. / don't really see how the
police can help arresting some thieves now and
then. II only by accident unless, indeed, the
police are the burglars themselves. How is 1t
In the world. All YOU need is a ittle knowi.
edge Of human nature. Now, I'll bet there
are three or four policemen in this house at
the present moment. Let's go and see." And
Joe led the way down into the basement, and
door. Sure enough, there sat four officers.
One was fixing the fire, one was picking
chickens, while the other two were shelling
peas and singing chorus from "Pinafore."

The balance Of the evidence favors the sup
position that Merv is the destination, as 1t
certainly is the direction, OF the Russian ex-
petition In Central Asia. The advancing
force is much stronger than that which under
Gen. Kaufman marched against Khiva,
though it must not be forgotten that the
greater part of the troops now under Gen.
Lasareff will have TO be told off for garrison
duty at certain fortified points all along the
route to guard the rear and keep communica-
tion with Tchkislar free. Furthermore, the
conditions of the present campaign are quite
different from those under which Khlva was
captured, Then the Russian route lay through
a rich oasis, where food and fodder, II neces-
sary, could be found; while In Achai Teke
provender Is very scarce, and should the
hopes OF receiving adequate supplies from
Persia fail, the army would have to fall back
on TchiksIar for stores.
