before his cottage. bowed in thought.
He was contained by wonder Of the
fate Of his beloved son whom he had
sent forth in anger, marked with a
curse, though he deserved it not.
AS the litter approached and the
wounded one appraised, Kame's blur
ring eyes carce recognized that bent
frame and attitude of sorrow.
The old man struggled forward.
"Thou, my SOM" he faltered. "Is 1t In
deed thou returned to me?" Outspread-
ing his arms, he sank from sheer weak
ness in the dust.
The soldier wrenched his body from
the litter, gaining his feet. Then he
cried, Eyes, father; it is indeed thy
son. But fear not, for the curse upon
his brow is wiped away in blood. Be
hold, Kame-san is again worthy Of his
fathers and of thee, O beloved one,
though the price be q soldiers life and
q maiden's broken heart!"
And thus did the hero Of Port Arthur
snatch the bandage from the matted
brow, disclosing the wound where the
black cross of shame had been slashed
away by the sword of the last defender
Of the fallen fortress, and so fell dead
Mt his fathers feet.-Criterion. i,

flying fail struck the bowed mead with
an appalling sound, and the old man
pitched forward on his face in the rice
and lay quite still.
Kame's blood froze In his heart. He
could not move-could not cry out as
vet. Then he uttered a wild moan,
sinking by the still form, sobbing de-
spairingly. Then came brothers and sis
tiers, .neighbors and passersby, lifting
the quivering form, dashing water into
the drawn, drab wrinkles, and that
image of death resumed a human as
pect nee more.
Kane watched it all as in some hide
ous dream, and when ut last the ia
theirs eyes opened the boy fell upon his
face, throwing the rice chaff over his
head in token of sorrowful petition.
But the elder recoiled from him.
Son." cried he, ''thou art my first
disgrace and sorrow. o unnatural one
that would be guilty thus of the crime
of crimes-to strike a. father down!
What! Art thou possessed of a devil to
fall SO low"
Then turned the old man to his elder
son at his side, crying, "Go, Take!
Run to the village and ask of the
learned judge, Siban-quam, what shall
be the penalty upon the son that
strikes a father. Col" And the brother
sped away.
The messenger returned. "The ora.
Gle of the law, o father, demands that
a black cross shall he tattoed upon the
offenders brow" he said with much
solemnity, "and hence shall the migrate
be driven an outcast upon the Face Of
the earth, homeless and despised."
And so ere nightfall was little Kane
branded with the curse of ingratitude
and sent forth an outcast forever.
Fair Umay, the daughter Of the silk
weaver down the valley road, stood at
the edge Of her garden Of poppies
Suddenly she recognized Kane, whom
she loved. The lad was SO changed
that she scarcely knew him.
But the young man, shuddering at
the sound of her voice. sank to his
knees as he swept his hands before his
forehead, ooh, Umay-san!" he moaned.

where the women dropped them into
boiling water, gathering with branches
the invisible skeins to spin into visible
threads.
One bright morning little Kane was
seated with his venerable father be-
fore the cottage. Nori-san had been.
telling him tales Of his f~orefatlers, of
their heroism in the great wars of the
Shoguns and the rebellion against the
Samauri. Kane fell asleep, much to
the elders displeasure, his young mind
filled with golden images and moving
armies inspired by triumphant song.
Then the itiperant barber came plod-

were, who, while manipulating his
queer tools, told everything lie knew.
1t was in the midst Of q recital of
the possibility of pig tailed invasion
over all the land that a note Of terror
escaped the old mans lips. The little
dreamer at his side awoke with a
start, and in so doing overturned the
barber's box Of queer combs, bottles.

cry reproof was supplemented with a
growl from Nori-san, thus disturbed
in his toilet and the more important
news of the coming war.
Lad" he cried, "have l taught thee
to sleep amid such perilous times?
Get thee to the sheds and fail rice till
the sun goes down. Tomorrow, may
hap. thou wilt have come to thy
senses"
Kane arose, convinced in his heart
that he had done no wrong, but he
held his peace, moving toward the
sheds to bear his penance bravely.
Soon he was Joined by his father.
Kane did not salute him ~deferentially,
after his familiar amer. The parent
waxed wroth.
Son." he cried, what have l taught
thee to say to thy betters? Where art
thy manners toward thy father?"
The boy only bowed in humility, then
resumed his task previously. The elder
seized his heavier fail and took posi-

Suddenly the comb fell from the
fathers freshly barbered hair. He bent
down to recover it ere it be broken by

an adept ut excuses, and lying is part
of his nature. He ms through every
grade of falsehood and deceit, but
hardly a word that he utters is strictly
true. Believing that he has some claim
on the white mans wealth, he is con-

he never misses an opportunity to take

white man seeks as eagerly to take
advantage Of the negro. Both lay
truth and honesty out of business and
even out of non commercial affairs.
Testimony in court is-a notorious farce.
With sinners wearing on their per-
sons garments or jewelry that are the
proceeds of questionable or dishonest
transactions, kneeling at Gods altar in
prayer for the other sinners who have
been despoiled, there need be little
wonder that nobody has confidence in
anybody. Not only every negro, but

But Spanish War VIII Increase the
List During the Year.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual report
made public tonight, while summing UP
the work in all the bureaus, is of special
interest by reason of its statements Ie-
garding pension policies.
At the close of the fiscal year there were
991,519 pensioners. a decrease of 2,195 dur
ing the year
The Spanish war probably will increase
the pension roll during the current fiscal
year. The Secretary concurs in recon-
mendations for an early revision and cod
ifcation of the pension laws
Secretary Hitchcock makes public an
advance report of the Maritime Canal
Company of Nicaragua, dated Dec. 4, next,
setting forth that since the organization
of the company 1915 shares of the cap
ital stock have been subscribed for at par,
amounting in the aggregate to the sum of
sl,014,5oo, of which amount 1,008, $50 mas
been paid into the treasury in cash; that
there has been paid into the treasury from
other sources, $l55, 81. making the total
amount of cash received, 81, 164, sos 81. The
company has paid for property, work and
labor done, and ma terials furnished in the
execution of the work of construction of
the canal, and in administration expenses
the sum of 81, 161, 772,7O in cash, $50 shares
of the full-paid capital stock of the COM
pany of the par value of 50 $4,000; $780,

first mortgage bonds. 1t has also issued
10000 shares of its capital stock of the
par value of $1S.000O00 in payment for con-
cessionary rights, privileges, franchises
and other property.
The congressional assertion of its right
to determine the line of canal through
Nicaragua and Costa Rica under the con-
cession of the company, according to the
company, caused uncertainty as to final
location of the route, and with other
causes has made the resumption of the
work of construction impossible.
