Europe ON n Peace Footing.

A late estimate gives Russia peace ef-
fective of S5s, 900 men and France one Of
512, 900, making an aggregate, for what is
sometimes called tho dual alliance, Of
1870 900. On the other hand, Germany
is credited with $50, 900 men on peace
footing, Austria with $50, 900 and Italy
with 800, 900, making an aggregate Of
1880 900. Thus the opposing forces are
pretty nearly equal, with the advantage Of
position and facility Of concentration in
favor of the triple alliance, as they are in
perfect communication, while France and
Russia are separated. The war footings
also show some prcponderance for the dual
over the triple alliance. but there, too,
the elements Of junction and separation
are to be kept in mind New York Sun.

VENEZUELA AS SHE Is
WHAT HER REPRESENTATIVE IN
WASHINGTON SAYS.
Venezuela Has No Nsvy-England Could
Easily Take Seaport TownsvA Nation
of Warriors-Good Financial Condition.
Looking to the United States.


"The British may carry matters so far
as 10 take possession OF our seaport, La
Guayra, said Minister Andrade OF Vepe-
zuela, "but IL they attempt 10 invade the
country they will get warm reception.
Probably they will attempt nothing fur
ther. They will be content with occupa-
tion of our port, seizure OF the custom
house and collection of an arbitrary sum
in satisfaction of their wounded feelings.
Venezuela has no navy worth speaking
of. We have four naval steamers, but they
are not armored, and Of couTe could offer
no resistance to even one British cruiser
let alone a fleet. La 6uayra and our other
chief seaports are fortified with modern
guns, but probably arc not strong enough
to offer more than formal resistance TO the
British The English would have no trou-
bio in carrying out their plans unless the
United states naval power were TO come TO
our rescue IL Is believed in my country
the United States will do this. The Veno-
zueans are ovcrioyci to learn that at last
the great American republic has raised the
Monroe doctrine as an issue. We have in
the past been grateful for your good offices,
but this friendly interest appears to avail
us nothing.
If the British should attempt invasion
OF Venezuela, you Americans will see how
we can fight. We are warlike people.
The British cannot transport enough
troops TO Venezuela 10 conquer us, and
therefore are not likely 10 attempt such a
task In times Of peace we maintain an
army OF from 5000 To 5000 men. They
are well disciplined and well armed. Pres
ident Crospo is "a warrior, and the army Is
his pride. Three years ago he bought 4O,-
600 mausur rifles, and In case of necessity
wo could quickly throw from so, 900 TO
100, 600 troops into tho field. We have
some very good artillery and cavalry and
our troops love to fight
"Venczuela Is In an admirable financial
condition, continued the minister; Sin
fact, our finances are in better shape than
those Of any other American country.
Our total debt, foreign and domestic, Is
only Sl3 900, 900. Our yearly income Is
s1O, 900. 900. We are fast reducing the
debt. Since 1870 Venezuela has promptly
met every financial obligation, and her
credit Is good At the same time we have
expended great deal OF money In public
works, s3, 900, 900 or 1000, 600 every year.
Considering the nuturo OF the country the
roads arc good. and our railway system Is
being rapidly extended. Ten years ago we
had no railroads. but now we have about
600 miles of lines, and others are being rap
idly constructed. From Caracas, our cap

the distance is only seven miles but the

Minnie sighed and glanced in from the
pa sage where she and Ned were stand
ing, to the bar where her sister and Ehen
were holding an earnest conversation.
"You might" she said at last. "But
I'm much mistaken il Bob will" And
II he turns nasty, as he's pretty sure TO
do, she will go on behaving Just the
same. You see, / know her spiritl'
AS she finished speaking Minnie turned
her head toward the staircase, Just as
heavy footstep made the old boards
squeak.
A wide old-fashioned staircase 1t was,
with shallow steps, and an ola, tall clock
standing at an angle. The light OF the
SIMMER afternoon streamed warm and
mellow through the little window, and
showed Ned the host OF the "Griffin,"
himself, as he lurched heavily down the
stairs.
A young man OF some two or three and
thirty years of age, Bob France had a
dark k-complexioned, sulen face, thick
crop OF black hair, and a muscular,
sturdy figure.
"who's that in the bar?n he asked
shortly. as he approached Minnie.
Then without waiting for an answer,
he pushed past her so roughly that he
made her stagger. and dashed into the
presence OF his wife and her old sweet
heart.
An exclamation eacaped Minnie's lips;
and Is was so clear that she expected some
violence on the part OF her brother-in-

CHAPTER /.
Come Back.

There is not perhaps in the length and
breadth OF the country prettier village
than that OF Little Drillingh ham, nor one
where the boasted progress of the nine
tcenth century may be more easily for
gotten.
No railway comes within three miles OF
r.. And although IL lies on the high road
between Canterbury and another market
town, communication between those two
centers of sleepy life is sufficiently main
tanned by a small and intermittent omni-
bus.
When Ned Fothergill, on his summer
holiday, chaneed to bring himself and
his bicycle into the wide, tree bordered
principal street of the place, he was
struck with admiration, and getting off
his safety lit his pipe and leaned
against tree TO rest his eyes for few
minutes on the picture before him.
Glancing behind him along the road by
which he had come, he saw a street ri
diculously wide, with a great breadth of
Debbly foothpath on each side, and a
gseate- breadth OF road between.
On his right hand on the opposite side
OF the road TO the place where he stood,
another road ran at right angles TO the
High street down past the church, and

was a row of irregular old cottages, with
overhaneing upper stories and with gable
windows in their red-tled roofs, brok-
en- by two OF the most fascinating old
world inrs Ned had ever seen.
The one nearest TO him stood at the cor
ner OF the street, we'll back from the
road, and announced in every brick and
in every window that il had sheltered
travellers and refreshed wayfarers for
three centuries and more.
As Md, pipe i'm mouth, surveyed the
old house appreciatiYely, he became
aware that a handsome young soldier.

"But he's fool to be jealous. shouldn't
have been with girl with a heart as
sound as hers"
"Well, but you've got to take hus-
band as you find him." said Minnie
sagely.
When who should come out from the
parlor, out by the other door, between
fiower-beds which were tangle OF Can
terbury bells, with pinks, and London
pride, but Harriet, fresh, smiling, Jolly,
with twinkle of mischief in her brown
eyes.
"Well suppose here we may get a
few words in without having our noses
snapped off our faces, ~ she began with a
merry laugh, planting herself with her
right hand on her hip between her sister
and Eben.
"Now, Harriet, do be good and don't
let Bob hear you say anything like
that!" pleaded the little sister, looking
up into her face with warning in her blue
eyes.
Harriet tossed her head little with
reckless and petulant air.
"Oh, I'm sick of IL" she cried i'm
patiently. "If one had done anything to
deserve it, it would be another thing.
But to be chivied about and scowled at
for nothing at all, why, it's enough to
make one say one would give him some
thing to be jealous for"
She had raised her voice, her deep
toned, full voice, ringing with health
and vitality, high enough for her hus-
band in the bar TO hear her. The young
men found themselves instinctively form
ing with their lips the word "Hush!" as
they heard the heavy steps of Robert
Fra ce in the passage behind them.
There was something in the contrast
they made, as they exchanged looks. the
one of anger, the other of defiance, that
made all three by-standers breathe
quickly. Without a word he directed
her, bya gesture, to go into the house.
After a moments hesitation, whether
upon an impulse OF real alarm, or In order
to please Minnie, who was pulling at her
sleeve, she went in.
Robert looked, scowling, from Ned to
Eben.
"Any more orders for you, gentle
men?n' he said shortly.
"No. We're going" said Eben In a
tone as surly as his own.
And the sergeant shook hands with
Minnie, and passed out through the yard
into the street by the back way.
"That mans brute. It's dogs life

Ned went into the street together

manner; "You can't do any good, you

The advice was unpalstable, but whole

Discoveries OF gold are important, and the
quantity of the precious metal taken out

Ned caught sight OF young girl, with
loose, light hair about her fair, but
freckled little fac who was sitting on a
three-legged stool in the yard at the end
OF the passage, shelling peas.
In her blue print frock, with her white
apron she made charming picture In a

"ThaGs a nice welcome TO an old
