tory might be of interest in connection
with these matters. In the thirteenth
century Of the Christian era a great
general arose in Japan, who drew
around him the strength of the army
the great families and strong clans of
the empire. He inaugurated a new
system of government and created an
institution perfectly novel and foreign
to the State, as it had always existed
He ruled the Empire and made the
Emperor simply a figurehead. He had
the title of Shotgun, and the people
paid court to him as their ruler. The
Emperor became still more vested
with the superstitious character de-
rived from ancient tradition and was
looked upon as sacred. His surround
ings held him aloof from affairs of
men and concerns of state. He was
never seen in public, but surrounded
by the mysteries of exclusion, he was
not permitted to break the spell sum-
moned to protect the unseen and in
visible.
Thus he grew with a knowledge and
ambition in keeping with the purpose

Michigan Bluffs

Away back among the mountains on
the old American River they tell a
story that reads like fiction, Yet every
word of it is true.
When Barney Riley came to Michi-
gan Bluffs people told him that he was
too late. Everything was taken. they
said. There were no more rich placer
claims to be Staked out on the Ameri-
can River. Winter was fast approach
ing. Even if he should find prospects
he could not work his claim underneath
thirty-foot snowbanks. He would bet
ter return while there was yet time,
people advised him, unless-and they
arched their brows northumberland
he had money. IF he had money it was
different. He might in that event take
chances.
Barney Riley, however, paid no at
tention to the advice, and before the
day was over every one in Michigan
Bluffs knew that the handsome young
Irishman had located on the opposite
ridge. He wasted no time, but at once
set to work constructing his cabin. In
the evening he returned to town for
supplies, packing them across the can
yon on his back.
Are you going to stay the winter?''
asked the merchant of whom he bought
his goods.
Il am going to do that same" said
Barney.
We'll, wish you luck" was the re-
ply.

Bluffs was a keen-eyed young man

THE TRAGEDY OF THE GARDEN.
1t Had a Very Serious Look, but No Blood
Was Really Shed.

Al t1du u very LOOK, DuU NO
Was Really Shed.
I was strolling through the garden
when, at a sudden turn in the path, I
came upon the body, 1t lay there, cold and
white, quite naked save for a pair of stock
ings. There was dreadful gaping wound
in the head that bore silent witness to the
fact that crime had been committed
The skull was crushed as though by u
blunt instrument. There cOuld have been
no pain in such q terrible ending, for on
tho quiet features there was IA peaceful
smile
There were evidences of struggle. The
gravel on the walk was tossed about in lit
tie heaps. Here and there were deep i'm
prints of a shoe heel. My imagination con
iured up tho terrible scene that must have
been enacted. As l looked closer at the
body | saw that the wound might have
been inflicted with shoe heel. Those i'm
prints in the earth meant that the destroy
er had stamped again and again at the
head of the defenseless victim, but had
missed several times. Abrasions on tho
face and head went far to strengthen this
theory.
Though the body was quite near the
house, no one had heard any cutlery. The
destroyer must have done the work quick
ly and silently. None of the other occu-
pants of the house knew that a tragedy
had been enacted beneath their very eyes.
While still gazed at the body, fascinat-
ed by the staring eyes and battered head,
heard steps approaching. was aroused

something in her manner held me back.
She came cautiously, looking Oh both
sides of the path with careful scrutiny.
She stopped once and listened as If to hear
if she was being followed. Then she crept
on again until, opposite my hiding place,
she caught sight of the body. With a cry
of exultant satisfaction she leaped for
ward, Catching the bruised and battered
head in her arms she caressed it with
grooming words and smoothed back the
matted hair. What was she saying? l
strained every nerve to hear her terrible
confession.

say. 800 was a very bad dolly, and mani

ORDERED HOME
The New Chinese Consul Will Be
Recalled

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Wu Ting
Fong, Chinese Minister, is to be recalled
some time in August. This comes in the
nature Of surprise as he reached this
country only about two months ago to
assume diplomatic relations between
this country and China. No official doc
ument as yet has been received ordering
the recall of the Minister, but private
advices were accompanied by copies of
Chinese newspapers, all containing some
intelligence, which leaves but little
doubt that the information is correct.
Inquiry was made at the legation and,
while it is impossible to see the Minister,
the secretary acknowledged that such
information had been received, but in
the absence of official information he
declined to confirm the report.
1t was, however, learned that Wu Ting
Fong will be transferred to Toxic to
succeed Yu Keng, who was formerly
Minister at the place. Charges have been
preferred against Yu Keng and his con-
duct Of affairs, in Japan has been under
investigation by Lii Hung Chang for a

cided to remove him and he will be re-
placed by WI Ting Fong. The latter

of foreign affairs, and is directly under

however, that come arrangement would
be effected whereby the bank would be
organized and everything made right.
