"You did, sir" said the unabashed
lieutenant, pulling folded paper from
his belt, land the Red Cross got word
to the general and what the Red Cross
says-goes. Look at that"
The colonel looked, read, looked
dazed, scratched his head and said:
well. I'm damned" Then he turned
to his adjutant. You were with me
when l saw the general last night and
he told men TO put this guard on and
keep this space clear. Now, what d'you
say to that?''
The adjutant glanced over the pen
ciled lines. Well" said he, IF you
s'pose any order that discrimnates
against the Red Cross is going to hold
good, once they find il out, you're
bound to get left. They're feasting the

colonel paused one moment, shook his
head and concluded he, too, would bet

CHAPTER VII.

Billy Gray was indeed in close ar
rest and the grim prophecy was full
filled-Col. Canker was proving "any-
thing but guardian angel to him." The
whole regiment, officers and men, bar
ring only the commander, was practi-
cally in mourning with sorrow for him
and chagrin over its own discontinue.
Not only one important prisoner was
gone, but two; not only two, but four.
No man in authority was able to say
just when or how it happened, for it
was Canker's own order that the pris-
oners should not be paraded when the
guard fell in at night. They were here
at tattoo and at taps all right. The Of
/ ticer of the guard, said several soldiers,
had quite a long talk with one Of the
prisoners young Morton-just after
tattoo, at which time the entire guard

portant prisoners were gone, and such
was Canker's wrath that not only was
Gray in arrest, but the sergeant OF the
guard also, while the three luckless
men who were successfully posted as
sentries during the night at the back OF
the wooden shell that served as guard
house-were now in close confinement
in the place of the escaped quartettc.
Yet those three were men who had
hitherto been above suspicion, and
there were few soldiers in the regiment
who would accept the theory that any
one of the three had connived at the es-
cape. AS for the sergeant = he had
served four enlistments in the tenth,

tured skeleton out OF animal bones
which frightened Mary Oldfield, oil
Karrdale, to death Wednesday night.
Mary Oldfeld, accompanied by two
trends, was returning from Halo

gruesome stories until their hair stood
ON end. When about to enter the
woods rattling of bones was heard
overhead, and looking up the trio
were overcome with horror at seeing a
skeleton OF gigantic proportions sweep
ing down on them from above. With
cry Of terror Mary dropped dead. A
searching party found wire leading
from the ground to tree top to which
was attached skeleton by pulley.

SHE MUST Be DEPOSED

CREATION OF INDEMNITY FUND
Other Question Considered Is the Es.
tsbiishment Of Foreign
Ministry.

Washington, Nov. 5.-It was stated
today in quarters well versed in Chi
nese affairs, that outside OF the ques-
tion of indemnity, punishments, ETC.,
now under negotiation at Pekin, there
are three vital and far.reachiDg ques-
tions to be determined, viz: First,
the removal of the empress dowager,
personally and through the influence OF
her advisers, from all participation in
the Chinese government; second, the
creation OF an indemnity fund by the
increase Of China's customs revenue,
either by the payment Of the duties in
gold instead Of deprecited silver, as at
present, or else doubling the presses t
silver duties from per cent to 10 per
cent ad valorem, and third, the estab-
lishment OF a minister Of foreign af-
fairs, in place of the old and cumber-
some system OF the Tsung Ii Yamun.
The demand for the retirement OF
the empress dowager is said to result
from the conclusion now generally
accepted that the imperial govern
ment OF China was responsible for the
Boxer uprising. As the empress dow
ager was the ruling authority OF the
imperial government during the upris-
ing, this responsibility is brought home
to her. There is understood
10 be no purpose, however. to visit
upon her any personal punishment o.
lndignity, but merely so to form the
reconstructed government as to ex-
clude her from all participation in it.
y is deemed advisable for that rea-
ION that she should remain permanent
y away from Pekin. and that her adj
Users also shoull be kept away from
lhe seat Of government.
The plan of doubling China's cus-
oms duties has arisen from the need Of
inding source to pay war indemni-
hes, which the various powers demand.

Berlin, Nov. 5.-Considerable impa-
tience at the meagerness of the ne .s

irhe inference is that German censor
ship over such information is very
strict. Letters from privates in China
beg to find their way into the Social

their pigtails, beaten bloody by the
Germans, compelled to dig their own
graves, and then shot en- masse.

which the writer says:

WI ON NATIONAL HONOR.
The Chinese Ministers Speech ut Tn,
Carnegie Institute.

/
Carnegie Institute.
Pittsburg, Nov. with a CRATE
iul enthusiasm past all precedents, the
NTH founders day OF Carnegie insti-
tute was celebrated today. In and
around the beautiful building more
than 5000 people thronged in their de-
sire to express to Andrew Carnegie
their appreciation, to the distinguished
guest of the day, Minister Wu Ting
Fang. their homage, and OF the treas-
ures OF art and science and literature
their regard. Minister WI, the
speaker of the day, was greeted with
prolonged applause. He said in part:
"China has a great deal 10 learn
from this young republic. / hope,
however. that she will learn, not the
arts of war, which have for their sole
end and aim the destruction OF life, but
the arts OF peace which make for the
happiness and welfare of the people.
No nation can become really great by
war. True greatness does not lie in
the extent of territory nor in the
strength Of battalions, but in the char
acter of the peopls. From personal
observation am inclined to the belief
that the American people possess the
element Of national greatness in high
degree.
The test of loftiness oil character Is
to possess boundless power without
abusing it. Wealth is power. Where
can you find such vast accuD,ulations
OF wealth in private hands as in Ameri-
ca, with SO little attendant evil felt by
society? / have seen countries where
the rich oppress the poor and the poor
curse the rich. There money is the
root of all evil. The reverse seems to
be the case in America. Here the rich
use the ample meaDs at their disposal
for the benefit of the people, and the
people have good reason to bless the
rich. In other words, American men
OF wealth are public benefactors. |
have not far to go for an example. In
your midst you have signal instance
OF this class of philanthropic men OF
wealth. This institution is an endur-
ing monument OF the founders munifi-
cence. Here one can find the most
effective means for the enlightoning OF
the mind and the uplifting OF the soul.
Books, paintings and sculpture and
specimens OF objects possessing educa-
tional value are accessible at all times
and to all persons. The day will soon
come when foreigners will visit this
city. not so much to see the great in
dustrial establishments as to see this
institution. which spreads ito influence
far and wide. This city will be equal
ly famous for the great educator as for
a manufacturing center. May this
standing monument of the founders
benefaction stimulate others to follow
this noble example. May the Found
er's day, which l heartily join with
you in celebrating, be ever observed
from year to year as an event OF ma
tional interest,"
After the exercises reception was
rendered to Minister WI in the art
gallery, where the distinguished guest
met and shook hands with about 1000
people.
