JAPANESE ARE VERY PATRIOTIC
willing to Sacrifice Their Live. for

willing to Sacrifice Their Lives for
Their Country.
No people on earth are more intense
ly patriotic than the Japanese soldiers
and sailors. According to their belief
the dead come back and tarry for a
hundred years with the living. There
are no Japanese who do not return"
says typical Japanese. There are
none who do not know the way. From
China and from Chosen, and from out
of the bitter sea all our. dead have
come back-all! They are with us
now. In every dusk they gather to
hear the bugles that called them home.
And they will hear them also in the
day when the armies of the son OF
heaven shall be summoned against
Russia" The influence of such be-
lief, fervently so passionately held up
on the national life is difficult to ex-
aggerate. 1t stimulates to self-sacri-
fee, and the fact that all the departed
great ones are held by every Japanese
to be at his side nerves the soldier to
the utmost heroism, the statesman to
sink self and seek the nations inter-
ests. This is precisely the feeling
which, as Capt. aHoeing has pointed
out in his "Untersuchungen uber die
Taktik der Zugunft,' is needed in the
modern soldier. 1t is the ignorant
campaign waged by the missionaries
against this beautiful and not un-
Christian belief in the actual presence
Of the dead on earth that has so ham
pered their work. For Japan rightly
feels that the belief is one essential
to her national life and to her mill
tary efficiency"

A SHORT STORY.

It occurred in the most unromantic
way, and amid the most prosaic sur
Foundings. There is probably no po-
sition in the world more fatal to ro-
nance, or more likely to crush all SUI
perfuous sentiment out Of a mans
nature, than that of a parish doctor.
The scenes of squalid misery he is COM
PEELED every day to witness are more
Gkely to blunt and exhaust the sense
Of pity in the average man than to
develop It by exercise. especially when
little experience has shown how
closely they are associated with vice
and deceit. and how certain is the man
who gives way to his first impulsive
instinct Of charity to awake sooner or
later to the knowledge that he has
been cheated and laughed at ten times
BY specious rogues for once that he
has been Of any real help to the I'M
fortunate. And he is apt to become
eynical In consequence.
Richard Falconer had started in life
With more rather than less Of the
usual romance and impractical senti-
ment Of youth. The last thing he had
thought OF had been the hard realities
Of life. And. as a natural consequence
those hard realities were now assert

For forty years he served either In q:

United States government. Thirty Of
these forty years he spent on the Hen
and Chicken lightship at the entrance
of Vineyard sound. He was so years
old, and first went on a whaling voy-
age when he was IA. On his next .voy-
age he became I'LL. The captain. who,
like the skipper on all whalers. was,
also the ships doctor. was unable to
cure him. and 1t was decided to put
him ashore at Otaheite, one Of the So
ciety group. The chief who was asked
to look after him consented on con-
dition that the boy would become a,
member of the tribe. The chiefs con,
ditions were agreed to, and young
Doane was taken ashore He received
kind treatment from the natives, and
was soon nursed back to health. When
he was strong enough to undergo the
ceremony he was received into the
tribe, the tribal mark being placed on
the back of his hand. He remained
with the tribe for many years, learn
ing the language and becoming one
of them in every way: He was finally
taken off the island by an English
brig and was landed on the South
American coast. AS the quickest way
to get home he enlisted for service on
the United States frigate Constellation,
Commodore Clarney, which was on her
way to Chinese waters. This was dur
ing our first trouble with China. It
was four years after Doane reached
home, all of that time being spent on
the Constellation. The cruise in Chi
nese waters ended, he came to this
city, where he ever after made his
home. Soon after his return he again
decided on whaling voyage, but when
three weeks out he fell through an
open hatchway, breaking his left arm.
That ended his career as whaler, and
soon after he got berth on light
ship.-New Bedford (Conn.) CORE

CHAPTER XII.

Cf1AEIER XII.
Two months later, on a stormy day
4 late October, Magnus Halcrow and
Ulspeth Troll are standing together
within sight Of the Rowan Crag. 1t
b probably the last time they shall do
%. for Elspeth leaves Orkney with
Lady Westray tomorrow. The West
ray children have been proved the
heirs Of her late husbands property,
and Crag Castle will be shut up and
untnhabited during their minority.
The horror of that terrible day
comes back again to Elspeth, and she
shudders involuntarily. Then Masnus
says slowly:
You shiver, Miss Troll. Forgive me
tor abiding to that terrible time, but
must do so just this once. have no
wish to speak against the dead, but
wish to disabuse your mind of the idea
that l loved Lilith Stuart. She fas-
cinated, enthralled me, as she had done
other men before-that was all. When
saw her as she washer beautiful
exterior merely covering for warped
and self-engrossed soul-my heart
turned from her with repulsion."
"Hush!" says Elspeth gently. ere
member she is dead. We must deal
kindly with her now. She is in Gods
hands,"
Magnus took the womanly little hand
and held 1t for minute. He does not
tell her-he does not think she knows
what he himself is sure of-that Lii
18th Stuart had met her death in trying
to compass that of another.
Tell me the truth, Elspeth," he says
suddenly. He has not called her Els
peth for years, and the girls face be-
comes suddenly flooded with crimson.
do you think loved herr"
II thought" answered Elspeth
slowly, tracing lines with an umbrella
on the damp path, "that you were very
near doing so, DR.. Halcrow."
"And il should tell you now" said
DR.. Halcrow, very calmly, though some
strange emotion throbs beneath the
outward calm, "that have learned
lately what 1 have never realized be-
fore-that it is some one else who had
the innermost place in my heart during
that foolish enthralment-what would
you say, Elspeth? And if asked you
not to so away tomorrow, or, if you do,
to come back soon to the dear old
island, and to heart and home watt
ing for you, what would you say, Els
peth?"
The hand in his gives one quick,
sharp culver. He can feel its pulse
bounding wildly.
why do you ask these questions,
DR.. Halcrow? Is it out of pity?"
'Pity?" he repeats. MAY. Elspeth;
pity would never make me ask a woman
to be my wife. 1t is because love you,
dear, with all my heart. How could
help it, who have known you so
we'll, so closely, so intimately these
last months-who have seen your quiet
brave heroism, your womanly gentle
ness. your self-sacrifce, your sweet
charity and forgiveness? 1t was you
who showed me what love really
means. You will come, you will love
me, dear, will you not?"
He holds out his arms, and with
out a word Elspeth goes into them.
She has obtained the happiness she
had never dared dream would be hers.
And so that spot, which had become the
scene Of the darkest tragedy in the
lives of BOTH becomes also to both tn 3
dearest spot on earth.

A" LUCKY" LAWYER.

Numerous instances are given Of the
power that Mr.. Rufus Choate possessed
over a jury, concealing it even at the
time he was exercising It with the most
potent effect. Mr.. e. p. Whipple in
stances two notable cases of this kind:
One resolute juryman said to- another,
as he entered the 'box"::
"Now, mind you, there is one man in
this crowd who will not give ver-
dict for the client Of that man Choate.
Why, sir, he is the great corrupter of
juries. I know all his arts. He is en-
gagged by fellows who wish to subvert
justice between man and man. hate
him with my whole heart and soul!"
When the verdict was given for
Choate's client, with hardly discus
sion in the jury-room, the wonder was
expressed that this obstinate member
Of the conclave agreed SO readily with
the rest.
"Oh," he said, ''the case was plain
one. Choate was right this time; and
you know 1t would have been scandal
GUS for me to violate Justice because I
had prejudice against the person who
supported it. Let him appear before
US in q case where is palpably wrong,
and will show you that I'm all right.
He never can humbug met"
On another occasion a hard-headed,
strong-hearted, twell-educated farmer
was one Of a jury that gave FIVE YER
diets In succession for Choate's clients.
He said:
81 did not think much of his flights
Of fancy; but I considered him a very
lucky lawyer, for there was not one Of
those five cases that came before us
where he wasn't on the right side"
