The sailing Of the revenue cutter Bear on
her life-saving mission has been delayed
until Thursday by q telegram received by
Capt Tuttle that an important letter WAS
mailed to him November % in Washington.
II probably contains more explicit instruc-
tons than those already received. and its
arrival must be awaited. All the officers
have now arrived save Lieut.. D. H. Jarvis
who is to lead the land expedition, and
Lieut.. Z. p. Bersholf. who will make one

started yesterday. The cutter is lying

would seem adverse to the success of the

When the agitation In favor OF sending
the Bear north was first begun and it was
learned that the heads of departments In
Washington were seriously considering the
matter Capt. Tuttle, OF the Bear. was open
in his expressions of disapproval. declaring
that he could do nothing. and that even if
he could he believed the whalers amply
able to take care OF themselves without re-

choly gaze.
At last the Doctor hit Gu the solu-
ton at a leap. He remembered the
look now. The little fellow, although
he was as straight as a dart, had tho
eyes that go usually with a crooked
back; he was not at all deformed, ant
yet a deformed person seemed to be
looking at you from below his brows.
The Doctor drew a long breath, ne was
so much relieved to find a theory flor
he loved theories and to explain away
his interest.
For all that, he despatched the in
valid with unusual haste, and, still
kneeling with one knee on the floor.
turned a little round and looked the
boy over at his leisure. The boy was
not in the least put out, but looked
placidly back at the Doctor.
rs this your father?" asked Des-
PREF.
"Oh, no." returned the boy; my
master"
Are you fond of him." continued
the Doctor.
mo, sir" said the boy.
Madame Tentaillon and Desprez ex-
changed expressive glances.
That is bad, my man." resumed the
latter, with a shade of sternness
Every one should be fond of the dy-
ing, or conceal their sentiments; and
! your master here is dying. If l have
watched a bird a little while stealing
my cherries, l have a thought of dis
appointment when he flies away over
my garden wall. and l see him steer for
! the forest and vanish. How much more
a creature such as this, so strong,
| so astute. SO richly endowed with facul-
ties! When l think that, in a few
hours, the speech will be %silenced, the
breath extinct, and ven the shadow
vanished from the wall, l who never
saw him, this lady who knew him
only as a guest, are touched with some
affection"
The boy was silent for a little, and
appeared to be rejecting.
You did not know him." he replied
at last. He was a bad man."
He is a little pagan" said the land
lady. For that matter, they are all the
same, these m~ountebanks, tumblers,
artists, and what not. They have no
interior"
But the Doctor was still scrutinizing
the little pagan, his eyebrows knotted
and uplifted.
What is your name?" he asked.
"Jean-Marie," said the lad.
Desprez leaped upon him with one
of his sudden flashes of excitement.

Japanese in Hawaii

The little republic Of Hawaii is en-
barassed by an extraordinary influx of
japanese immigrants. stimulated by
immigration societies working with the
encouragement if not actually as agents
Of the government of Japan. The ia
panese in the islands already are more
numerous than the people of any other
nationality, except the native Hawaii
ans. Various forms of restriction i'm
posed by the Hawaiian government
were evaded by the immigrants. until
at iast the government forbade the land
ing of a ship load Of japanese. and or
dered them sent back. Japan claims
the privileges of free immigration n
der an old treaty, and appears to be
using them to carry out a plan Of vir-
tuaI colonization.

Mira Bascom Found She Was Still

He did not call on her that first even
ing, though he walked past the gate
four times, unaware of the fact that
behind one of those slanting shutters a
pale stood watching him pass
and repass, says Lippincott's. The
nun in her self-elected cell had and
made use of means of communication
with the world, in the shape generally
of Jimmy the choreboy. She knew
whose was the tall figure on the side
walk. She stood at the window when
she could 10 longer see him; she heard
his slow footsteps go by for the last
time and die away. Half an hour later
she went upstairs to her bedroom. Be-
tween its two windows hung a long.
old-fashioned mirror, with carved can
delabra on either side. She lighted the
three candles in each. The mirror
showed a tall, slim figure, a face as col
orless as an anemone, an abundance of
auburn hair carefully arranged. Mira
Bascom studied this reflection closely.
Then she unlocked a black-walnut
chest which stood in a corner and
lifted out it's contents till she came to
a mass of pale muslin, which diffused
an odor of lavender as she shook it out.
1t was a white gown with lilac sprigs.
made with the full skirts and sleeves
of a bygone fashion. She put it on.
fastened the belt of lilac ribbon.
which still fitted exactly, and, standing
again before the mirror, loosened
slightly the bands of her beautiful
wavy hair and pulled it into little curls
about her face. 1t was a vision of
youth which looked back at her from
the glass. Not a thread of gray showed
in the hair; the fine lines about the
placid eyes were invisible. The skin
had the dead whiteness of things kept
from the sun But as she gazed a DEL
icate flush overspread her face, her
red-brown eyes lit up till their color
matched her hair; she smiled in
startled triumph. She was still beau
tiful.
Then a swift change came over her.
She blew out all but one of the candles
and, turning her back on the mirror,
took off her gown with cold, shaking
fingers.
