HIS SWEET REVENGE.
Kicked Out When n Boy. He Lived to
Repay the Offender.

A story with moral is told me by a
friend from Bloomington, Ind. That
pretty little university town numbers
among its notabilities not only the col
lege professors, but another professor
also whose Accomplishment lies not in
the direction of human education.

dogs and ponies. Professor Gentry was
a very poor boy, which was no dishonor,
but still much against him in the race
of life. During the last few years he
has made fortune. l am afraid to
say how much, but it must be up in the
hundred thousands. Ten years ago he
was still struggling to make living
for himself and his parents, and very
often it was hard enough. And thereby
hangs my tale.
Every one knows how difficult it was
for business men to keep heads above
water during the hard times and what
a serious matter it was to obtain money,
but Gentry had plenty of it all through
and it is said to have helped more tha n
one man over the stepping stones
One day a very prominent busin ess
man OF his town was caught short and
needed $4,000 to see him through. He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for
loan, but was suavely told that the
bank had it not. Just as the converse
tion was going on Henry Gentry hap.
pencd to pass the bank, and the banker
remarked, "there's only one man in
town who has that much cash, and
maybe hell lend it to you." He poin ted
to Gentry.
The business man took the hint, step
ped out of the bank, caught up with
Gentry, and after very complimentary
talk on his success broached his re-
quest. Gentry turned full upon him
and replied: "Oh, yes, have $4,000;
more too, but do you remember bare.

one time trying to buy pair pair Of
shoes on trust? Do you remember how
you almost kicked him out Ct your
store? Well, Twas that bov. No,

Maybe it was not very Christian, but it
must have been awfully sweet revenge.

TALE OF A TERRAPIN.
A Romance OF an Artist Who Was Full
of 1t.
CHAPTER l.

In a sequestered spot on the shores
OF Chesapeake Bay Basil Beresford, a
young artist, was sketching one day
in the spring of 1S-. The bright col
orings were being cleverly applied to
the canvas when all at once the artist
ceased his work. The hoof of some
animal could be heard striking the
trampled turf. 1t was muffled but
also quick sound which accompanied
tho rougher noise of breathing. Turn.
ing aside, Basil witnessed a curious
sight. A fat terrapin scampering DER
the lawn for dear life, was being hotly
pursued by sturdy fisherman and his
daughter. The animal was soon cap
tured and stored away in the well filled
gamebag Of his. Then Basi's atten-
ton was drawn as if by magnet to
Phyllis Marmaduke, the daughter of
Harold Marmaduke, the famous hunter,
who was the terror of the tarrapin for
miles around. Phyllis was dream of
love and beauty, with blue eyes, bright
as the dew, and her golden hair hang
ing down her back. She stood breath
ing the air like q beautiful plant.
Basil's work for that day was over.
He could sketch no more. He could
scarcely move. His blood began to
frappe, and suddenly the truth flashed
over him.
Basil Beresford was in love

means of a penknife ON the she'll OF a

had not been happy. She had buried
two husbands, and her life was now a
burden.
Presently the laughter of the child
rem ceased. They gazed intently at
the movements of cool and collected
terrapin as it clumsily clambered up
the brownstone steps. 1t was Phyllis
who picked up the belated rescue party
and saw the message upon its back.
With a shrek she fell to the floor
senseless. When she regained her
consciousness, she hastily summoned

1t was daybreak.

1t was daybreak.
The storm had subsided, and still
Basil Beresford suffered in the terrible
clutches of the heavy oak. He was
about to faint away when he felt some
thing crawl DER his PROSTATE form.
Stretching forth his hands, which were
free, he caught large terrapin. This
was soon devoured, for the young art
ist had not tasted food for day. Hours
slipped away, but no helping hand
came. The loneliness was only broken
by constant procession of terrapin
across the form of Basil, who, FORUM
ately enough, had fallen directly across
the path used by the terrapin to 60 to
the bay. Basil would select the best
ones. slay them, with his penknife and
place them beside him for the next
meal.
1t was then that he thought of an
old legend of Chesapeake's shores. 1t
was said that if you point diamond
back toward certain place and start
the animal on its journey it will at
some time arrive at the objective point.
Quickly taking his penknife Basil,
scratched a sketch of his death trapo

built diamond back, giving the exact
location Of the spot where he was lying,
Then, pointing the terrapin toward the
happy home of Phyllis Marmaduke, he
started it on its journey.

but Basil was still in his terrible pris.

CHAPTER III.

Basil stood meath a sturdy oak NOV
ing his pencils in mechanical sort of
way. Ever and anon he would leave
his canvas, walk to the spot where
Phillis Marmaduke had stood the day
before and gaze into the grass as if
searching for treasure. While in one
of these moods who should stroll along
but little Miss Marmaduke.
"Have you lost something?" she
asked.
"Yes. my pretty one, l have"
what is it?"
''My heart"
IF you dare;" came in rough tones
from behind tree and Harold Mar
maduke appeared on the scene. The
old fisherman was not man to be
trifled with, and he upbraided the
young lovers for Irritation. Then he
marched his daughter back to the
house. Poor Basil was we'll nigh fran.
tic. Seating himself on log, he
placed his hands to his forehead as if
in deep thought. While in this reverie
a terrible storm came up. The trees
swayed in the fierce gusts of wind, the
peaceful bay was turned into a thrash
ing sea, the thunder crashed, and myr.
lads of terrapin ran hither and thither
to points of safety. But Basil beeded
them not Suddenly wild streak of
lightning pierced one of the largest
trees, and down came its tremendous
weightupon the for m of the poor al tist,
pinning him to the ground. His calls
for aid were like whispers in the temp
est, and Basil Breseford was left to die.

Washington, Nov. 1t.--It Is stated
here in official circles that Japan has
not yet accepted the invitation of the
United States to submit the question
OF peace with China to our mediation.
Up to this moment China has not
submitted any definite proposals, so
that the delay appears to be rather
on her part than on that OF Japan. No
satisfactory proposition has yet been
made by China. but on the contrary
the Chinese tenders SO far have been
ON a basis that could not be accepted
with safety and consistency BY Japan.
Fer Instance Chinese proposition was
that Corea be evacuated by both Chi
nese and Japanese troops, lnnsmuch AZ
the principal cause of the war was
Japan's contention that the entire
Corean administrative and financial
system must be reformed ON modern
lines and that Japan must undertake
the task, a temporary occupation OF
the country at least by Japanese was
q necessary condition. Another condi-
ton that the Japanese troops evacuate
China Immediately would also violate
any precedent, for II is customary in
such cases for the victorious nation to
retain possession Of captured territory
as pledge until the amount OF the
war indemnity IL paid. But. disre-
garding these points OF difference It Is
becoming more evident that the Inter-
ference or European powers is the
stumbling block in the way of settle
ment of the war through the media
ton OF the United States. They nearly
all have interests in the East which
they regard as paramount to our own
and by no means relish the action OF
the United States first In refusing to
cooperate with them IN Intervening
and second in seeking TO settle the war
without reference to any nation,
An official who has given much atten-
tlon TO the subject Is OF the opinion
that Russia viii never consent 10 any
thing that looks like an Indefinite occu'
patton of corca by Japan ps Great
Britain occupies Egypt unless she Is
