from India He visited US here and
brought my wife as present very
valuable silver tea and coffee service Of
heavy Indian workmanship, seven
pieces in all, and worth, I should say,
at least a couple of hundred pounds. 1t
is NOT at all the sort Of thing we can
make use OF here, and L think of send
ing it over to the bank at Toogong to
be taken care Of. -
'.Ahl And you suppose that Flower
may take a fancy to it as it is on the
way
'sNo: for. as 1 have kept my inten-
tion to myself. he naturally can know
nothing about it. But what 1 antici-
pate is that be may pay me a visit
here
t'You suppose. then, that he has got
wind of your new possession ?''
Exactly The day it arrived
rather more than week ago-the serv
ice was laid out on the dining room
table for general admiration, of which.
I can tell you, it received plenty. Only
ourselves were there. But suddenly
heard noise at the window and,
turning sharply round, discovered
Coogee's ugly face expanded in grin of
delight
''Coogee, the aboriginal?''
1.-THE same. Well, of course Coogee
saw the silver, and nothing would sat
isfy him but to be allowed to come in
and lock at it. He handled each piece
and seemed lost in wonder at its
beauty, constantly oxclaiming, Bud
geree; injury budgereer ('Gocd; very
goodP) 1 was extremely vexed at his
inopportune appearance.
''Do you suppose. then, squire, that
Coogee gave information to Flower?''
''Not directly. But you know how
these fellows chatter. So, when yester-
day Drake confded to me his suspicious
that Flower was about, l thought it
high time to send for you"
'fYou were quite right, squire
Flowers greed and daring may impel
him to crack your crib as he would
cali it, alone.
'tWhat do you propose to do. them
asked the squire
''To take up my quarters here
The squire opened his mouth to
speak, but 1 went on:

of them has seen me come here. Very
well. then. l propose that he shall see
me go away again without loss of time.
By the way. have you any new hands
Just now7'
'No," said the squire. ''Oh, yes, l
forgot There is one, carpenter named
Murphy, whom 1 engaged to do piece
work, and, by Jove, it was the very
day after Coogee saw the silverl'
'I thought as much. Where is this
man workiEg?''
"Close at hand, by the Warrigal's
pool Do you think that he is in the
game?''
Eyes, L do. but 1 mean to make sure.
L want you to come out with me as far
ss the pool that l may have a good look
at your new workman. and then 1 shall
leave you.
-'But 1 thought you were going to
stay" said the squire
You never do for policeman,
squire, l laughed. However, leave
everything to me. Just answer natu-
rally when l speak to you and don't be
surprised at anything l may say"
1 fetched my horse from the stable
and rode to the WarrigaPs pool, the
squire walking beside me.

HOGAN AS UNCLE TOM
An Excellent Performance of the
Historic Part.

Uncle Toms Cabin is a household
word throughout the English speaking
world. The play has been practically
as big a success as the book IL not as
large factor in the actual work done
by the book. So popular is the play
that over a hundred Uncle Toms Cabin
companies are perpetually on the road
in the United States while amid the
financial failures these dramatic COM
panies are prominently absent The
cause is easily found. Aside from the
peculiar facilities the play contains for
introducing the interesting episodes OF
negro life and the beautiful melodies
of the colored race, the story Is intense
ly dramatic and the characters so clear
ly and Enthusiastically cut that from
a dramatic standpoint alone IL stands
in the front ranks of plays and play
dom. Hogan's presentation OF Uncle
Toms Cabin is excellent. There Is In
all probaDIIity no other colored actor In
the world capable of rendering the pow
erful and vivid conception OF the per-
secuted. faithful. noble slave that Ho.
gan presents. AS a rule the colored
race has boosted few actors: there are
many comedians, many laughmakers
but few who can arrest the breath and
bring the unbidden tear.

IL appears that these payrolls we're

CHINA'S TROUBLES.

There are two reasons why the
United States and other govern
ments do not declare that state OF
war exists with China. First, in
case the governments declared that
war actually existed all foreigners
in China could be held by the
Chinese government as prisoners
of war, and treated as such, and
there would be no possible chance
for saving them from the Chinese
hordes. Second, state of war
really does not exist between the
Chinese government recognized by
the United States and other powers,
bat simply between the Chinese
government so recognized and a
fanatic Chinese mob or rabble,
which is seeking to drive the for
eigners out of China. OF course,
China and it's government will be
held strictly accountable for all
murders of foreigners, and for all
destruction of property belonging
to foreigners, no matter what the
outcome of the struggle between
the present recognized Chinese
government and the fanatic mob
may be. The great danger to the
peace of the world will be more
from this settlement than the pre-
sent internecine troubles of China.

SILvER'S .LAST NIGHT.

Why do some of the leading sup

sist that free silver is dead and that
it is not an issue in this campaign?
Bryan insisted that the plank
should be placed in the Kansas City
platform, and that unless it boldly
committed the party to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of is to

tion. Free silver is grated with
Democracy this year as much as it

The protective tariffs of European
countries, practically excluding the
products Of Switzerland, are causing
the statesmen OF the little Alpine
Republic to seek for an alliance of
Switzerland with some foreign
country, and one of the Swiss news

United States. The paper says
that the United States is full of the
pure air of freedom and that Switzer-
land would lose nothing by become

a we'll known fact that the several
