younger and hundred times more attrac-
tive. In 1850 the then empress escaped by
running out of the back door of the sum-
mer palace and taking to the mountains.
The Japanese thought that If they moved
with more stealth and speed than the Brit
ish did In 1860 they would catch the en-
press dowager and her weakling dummy,
the young emperor.
History repeated itself. The Japanese
reached the summer palace little too late.
There were no royalties there to be cap
tured. But there were signs Of confusion
and hurried departure about the great
summer palace that made the little Japs
gnash their teeth They were sure that
the empress dowager had been there but
she had been warned in time and had
sprinted away. Practice has made this
talented old yellow lady expert Splinter.
For few days the japanese remained at
the SIMMER palace. Then their commander
Pekin decided that the place possessed
no strategic value and ordered his detach-
ment back to Pekin. Hardly had the last
Japanese soldier marched out when the
head of a Russian column moved in. 1t
looked as If the bear had been lurking in
the neighborhood in order to place himself
next to opportunity. Quite in accordance
with his policy of never letting go Of any
thing that he once gets. the Muscovite is
still there. and undoubtedly will be until
the end of the chapter.

Lions Dispute Right of Way as They
Did Ten Years Ago.

Dlu Aeh ears Ago.
From the Contemporary Review.
Lions infest the whole of the Beira route
to this day Ten years ago, when the line
was being surveyed for. they crawled every
where. The usual idea of these carnivora
is that they are the king of beasts: that
lions prance and lash their tails, step after
a lordly fashion. and are both noble-lookng
and noble in their habits Never was there
a greater mistake. Those who have made
their close acQuaintance-and they are those
who pioneered for this railway-say that a
lion far more often creeps on his stomach
like a stalking eat than goes on his hind
legs like his heraldic counterfeit. Until one
jumps at you he looks quite insignificant
But when he has made spring to within a
few yards of your shoulders, he seems to
fill the heavens above and the earth be-
meath. Again, the roar of lion is at first
for he Is a most deceptive animaD alto

close beside you; then, as you listen, 1t

impossible to locate it. 1t travels for miles.

Lions such as l have described prowled
around the pioneer camp whenever it halted.
Once. when the pioneers had lit a fire, some
fat slices of game were laid across It on a
piece of galvanized iron. A loud 'hoosh"
from Kafir aroused one of the Englshmen
from sleep in time to see one of these large
cats quietly licking up the grease left in
the improvised frying pan. The Kafir was
frightened: the lion was much more So At

Not having the least idea Of what he was
talking about, l did the only thing 1 could
think of-produced my credentials. He
took them, scanned them, and of course
couldn't understand a word that was writ

piciousy. The glare in his eyes announced
that he believed me to be spy. That

had very definite purpose in view-a pur
pose that was fully understood by the
commanders of the other armies-after the
Russians had camped the site of the

Just before Pekin was captured the Jap
anese sent special expedition by side
paths TO the summer palace. which is locat-
ed about ten miles rather northwest OF
Pekin. These little Japs are great de-
vourers of history. and so they knew. that
