the struggling streets Of the town and
presently he found himself in coun-

able to get light from the slow pro-
cess of the finder box or raking ever
the kitchen fire, the Americans had a
good start. They changed their direc-
ton soon after entering the ravine, and
half an hours rapid walking and run

to their boats. Dicky had expected TO
hear loud protest from General Pres

excited but subdued voice, and he threw

Desperate as their circumstances still
were, the Americans could not help
laughing at this; the more so when Sam

as battering ram, said politely:

side of the bay and Dicky turned and
ran toward home. a general alarm had
been given by that lime. but everybody
supposed that - kidnappers were
somewhere in the woods near by, or
possibly in some deserted quarter of
the town. Soldiers were running about,
the drum was beating. sky rockets had
been sent up and the alarm had been
conveyed TO the guard ship in the har-
Dor, which sent a boat ashore to find
out the cause of the commotion Dicky

where they lived, when he ran full tilt
into the arms of a sergeant with a
searching party. Remembering that he
had to play the part of a very small
and frightened boy, Dicky, who was
not frightened in the least, screwed his
face up and broke out into a frightful
howl as the sergeant caught him by the
collar of his jacket.

STRONG WORDS FROM a BRITISH
REVIEWER.
1.-The Trial of Americn-An Inde-

zens Of the United States May
Read and Reflect on; Probably
With Profit.

Under the heading 'The Trial of
America-An Independent View" a
writer in the Speaker. the cleverest of
the London weeklies and an organ of
Liberal opinion says:
The most interesting people in Europe
are undoubtedly the French And in
hundred ways the Americans resemble
them. Sensitive or sentimental shrewd,
energetic, practical, delighting in pub
lie speech and dramatic situations,
yielding in what seems the most head
long manner to impulse, yet in the
whirlwind of passion less overcome
than the audience would suppose, and
lat all times capable of recovery by
some innate hopefulness, the same de-
Iscr1ption would pretty nearly fit the
children of the Puritans and the CRU
saders, while no one would dream of
applying it to Englishmen, Germans or
Italians.
rs it the dry air, keen winds and
bright sky which will account for the
likeness? Or shall we explain it by
the history of these two great repub-
llcan nations? They have marched
ahead in company, and the rest of the
world is limping after them, with dole
1ul complaints of rheumatism, which
would justify its keeping close to the
ch1mney-corner instead of being thrust
out upon pilgrimage toward the un-
known.
But America, which opened the
story of revolution, has advanced
many more steps toward the future.

There soldiers come forth only on

europeans cannot imagine a state of
things SO unlike their own; while En-

defense of the gates, waterways and
telegraph lines of their big empire.
Keep up a brisk cannonade to the tune
of Rule Britannia
Peace, without soldiers or a military
budget, and embracing a continent in
the folds of it's banner, we retrograde
and stupid easterns cannot under
stand. But three years of America
would do more to civilize Europe than
all the efforts of well-meaning but bar
barous chieftains, whether we call
them Won Moltl1e or the Emperor Viii
liam. The European is still the feudal.
and even predatory system, in
which few chosen, but not always
choice, families govern at their good
pleasure, and the millions are gov

sign of slavery but one degree re-

Queen Victoria has a wholesome
dread of fire. Whenever she goes
abroad she always has a couple of fire
extinguishers sent out in advance and
fitted up in the house where she will
reside.
When the queen assembled the Brit
ish throne more than forty-one per
cent. of the English people could not
write their names. The proportion in
that condition has been reduced to
seven per cent.
Ex-Empress Eugene, who was not
long ago a. guest at dinner with Queen
Victoria, has now only, careworn lines
and a, sad, dullish expression of the
face, whose beauty was once the adj
