THE VILLAIN IS UNMASKED
FRENCH CORRESPONDENT SEES
THROUGH BERESFORD.
The Baleful Schemes of Perfdious
Albion to be Thwarted by the Ever
Nigilant Gaul.

The French correspondent to the
Echo du Mines" has found out all
about the object of Lord Charles
Beresford's visit to China. The eagle
eve of the executive Gau has pcne-
trated all the DISCUSSES of the per
fidious Britain'-American and Ger
man correspondents may be hood
winked. but the Frenchman "Nevare!"
The first discovery made by the
writer. according to the China Mail,
is that Lord Charles was entrusted
with an "offer to the Celestial Empire
to put itself under the protection of
Great Britain"
The reasons for this are argued as
follows:
Recent events of which China is
the theatre are not reassuring for the
Britannia influence in the Far East.
Russia i'm the north. Germany i'm Shan
| tung, France i'm the south, have OBJ
tanned certain advantages that Eng
land considers a blow at her interests
and what she calls her rights. The
rights of England. like the benefits
of God, cover the whole of nature.
! Therefore, ON this principle, her
statesmen say that the best way to
prevent the enterprise of others would
| be to obtain from the Chinese Gov
eminent recognition of an English
Professionalism other words. to au-
! thorize the British Minister to negoti-
ate, in the name of China, with the
| Powers"
OF course such Il policy would lead
! to Il general war and coalition of
! Europe against Great Britain, but the
! French partizan cannot see the folly
of his own statement. His great find,
however, is the following:
"In the meantime, Great Britain has
occupied Weihaiwei, she anneXes Cam
ton, by Kowloon, and we can add
news that will cause sensation in
Europe-it is this The English are
going to take the Chusaps! Do not
ask me where | got this fact. The
French ought to reply by sending a
garrison to Chungking, the capital OF
Szechuan (the best province in China
and comprised in the hinterland OF
Tonkin). Our excellent Consul, NJ
Haas, on a great occasion, told us:
M. Doumer could do that on sign
and he is the man to take the respon
sibility of such step, when it is de-
sired.
"'Believe me. Central China will be
long to Ton<in whenever they think
fit to send few French regiments
there. The hour of partition is APP
proaching: God grant that France
may not be the last to recognize the
inevitable. Lord Beresford has not
come for nothing; there will be some
decisive step taken shortly. Watch!
The editor of the China Mail adds
a note hoping that Chungkin won
prove another Fashoda. But Lore
Charles is unmasked. What a pit!

in San Francisco and talked in Chi

laughter, with his hands in his pock-
cts and the cane gone from view.
Who's got the laugh on his side now,
Mr.. Urquhart?' Old Jimmy inquired.
What do you think as man to MANI"
AREN'T you going to cane me, then?"
Bunny asked with a gasp of astonish-
ment
Much as you deserve it, am not"
Mr.. Baker said. You see, in a month
or two you'll probably be my brother
in-law, and it would scarcely do to step
into the family over your semi-recum-
bent form"
Bunny stood looking shamefacedly at
him, and the tears began to gather for
the first time in his eyes.
"Urquhart," the master asked, "do
you think you behaved exactly nicely
to your sister-not to mention me?"
Bunnys emotions under the reaction
began to grow almost too much for
him.
There, there, Urquhart," Jimmy said
in a more kindly tone. lets say no
more about it--excapt this. I may be
wrong, but from one or two things I've
noticed don't think you're entirely re-
sponsible for what you've done; and if
you would kindly punch the head of
the fons ct origo mali, 1t might give
satisfaction to both Of us. Now let's
have some tea l believe made some
other purchases this morning
When Bunny emerged from the room
an hour or so afterward his opinion Of
Jimmy was entirely changed. He
summed him up as jolly good sort,
and was ready to receive him as man
and a brother-in-law, and this, though
he was again ON satisfecit of a real
kind.
There were only two persons who real
ly regretted such an end to the epi-
sode One was Ellis minor, whose
head was severely and ungratefully
punched The other was Miss Urqu-
hart, who maintained that Bunny ought
to have been thoroughly and merciless-
ly flayed.-Henry Marley, in the Corn
hill Magazine.

mo" Bunny said st think it's better

NO" Bunny said, II think it's better
to drop all that kind of rot
IT fully agree with you, Urquhart-
fully" the master answered. Il am
quite ready to talk with you as man to
man, eh? That's to be the arrange
ment, isn't it?"
''Yes," Bunny said loftily. Its al
ways better to talk to- a fellow as if he
wasn't a servant, you know"
And what do you expect me to do,
| Urquhart?" Jimmy asked.
II suppose Bunny suggested you'll
drop the satisfecits altogether now.
They seem to me scarcely necessary"
do they?" Mr.. Baker replied, with
a marked change of manner 'I don't
agree with you, and what I am going
to do is to give you the soundest
thrashing you ever had in your life.'
Bunny started as if he had been
shot.
II said,' Mr.. Baker said menacingly,
''that I was going to give you the
soundest thrashing you ever had in
your life. Did you hear me?"
You can't; you've no right to-"
Bunny stammered.

to boy"
Bunny began to turn pale.
Under the circumstances, MIR. Urqu-
hart, you can fight if you choose, you
know, but I shouldn't advise you to.
think, perhaps, it wouldn't hurt quite
SO much if you took it in the usual
position"
'Ill take jolly good care that Maude
will never speak to you again. Bunny
burst out desperately.
'1 am inclined to doubt that, Mr.
Urquhart," the master said II dis
cuseed the question of this little opera
ton with her to-day, and she particu-
larly asked me to add a few Of the
very best as her contribution

mot the least use, my dear Mr..
Urquhart, not the least 1 have al
ready discussed this with him, and he
agrees with me that it is entirely a
matter to be settled between our
selves I think we might as we'll get
to business now"
He went over to the cupboard and
produced cane of the 1.-THE, springy
kind which Bunny was aware by ex-
perience produced the most salutary
results.
"a good one, isn't it?" Mr. Baker
| said gleefully, as he made it whistle
| through the air. 81 bought it specially
| for you to-day I was little divided
between this and thicker one. Your
sister preferred the thicker one but I
told her it's possible to do better work
with one of these"
'+My father'-Bunny burst out
"You can tell your father, mother,
aunts, and nurse afterward, Mr.. Urqu~
hart -afterward 1 should be Obliged
If YOU would kindly kneel over that
chair"
Bunny sheepishly rose and knelt on
the place of execution. The cane
waistled through the air as Mr.. Baker
made a few preliminary passes, and
Bunny waited for the blow. A minute
passed, then another, and no blow
came. There was a silent pause for
