GERMANY WAVES wAR.

The fact is becoming apparent to the
dulIest diplomat that Germany is looking
for trouble. From the beginning of the
Chinese difficulties Germany assumed
the role of avenger of the nations. 1t was
very unfortunate for China that the Ger
man representative was the one to meet
death at the hands of the Boxers, for
this gave Emperor William the excuse
for an attempt to realize his colonial
dream Ever since Germany occupied
territory worth millions as indemnity for
the lives of a couple of priests who had
been exiled from the empire, the world
knew, Or thought it knew, what the war
lord of Germany wanted to do in the
East. The Boxer outbreak and the muir
der of Won Ketteler came like a special
dispensation eff Providence to the ambi-
tious kaiser. The cry for vengeance
which he set up was not the outburst of
righteous indignation, but was a cloak
under which to hide the bright armor
and mailed fist of conquest.
The movement to make Count Won Wal
dersee commander-in-chief of the allied
troops was the first step toward
the partition of China The ex-
petitions planned and executed by
Waldersee against a defenseless peo-
pie would disgrace the most sanguine
acts of Pizzaro or Cortez The sole OBJ
feet of the German occupying army has
been to goad China into war. The de-
mands of the powers upon China through
the insistence Of Germany were made
such, that though accepted, the fulfill
ment would be an impossibility. Germany
alone stood out for punitive damages.
In all this there was method-a selfish
design The expected has happened;
China has refused to carry out the terms
of the agreement and war is imminent
with a German Weyler in command of
the allied armies and the German con-
tingent numbering as many as the COM
bined troops of the other powers.
What Is to be done? There is but one
thing for the United States to do and
that is to not only refuse to join in this
act of criminal aggression" but to enter

CHAPTER XIV.
THE LUCK OF THE BooJUM.


Miss Prim.s Finishing Academy for the
daughters of gentlemen was large red
brick house, standing at no great dis
lance from that of Gen. Burnley. 1t
was enclosed within a high wall, and
the 'buds''-to use a somewhat descrip-
tive Americanisnl-wer jealousy guard
ed by colbert of dragons, with Miss
Prim in supreme command. Notwith-
standing her vigilance, however, many
of the young ladies had admirers of the
male sex more or less Juvenile; and
these were accustomed occasionally to
linger outside the great iron gates In
the hope of some chance glimpse Of, or
meeting with, their princesses.
To this kind of thing, Miss Prin, as
became a maiden lady and the head of
ar academy for young ladies, objected
most strongly But unfortunately the
road was public property, and those who
chose to use it hardly came within the
aegis of her authority. To Teddy Vyse
she took particular exception 1t was

there patiently for half an hour or
more each day, that he might escort

she could not bear him, and aft n each

reproof.
Another week had gone by, and the po-
sition was still the same. There was
no answer to Gaskelis adve. tisement. So
Teddy, having more time on his hands
than he had recently had, felt he could
not better and more pleasantly employ it
than in walking to and fro with Fancy.
On this occasion he was lingering as
usual round the corner, and the lodge
keeper recognized his freckled face and
red hair as he casually strolied past the
gates. Cemented by q series of half

LONDON HEARS THE NEws.

Queens Death Builettned Just at the
Close. OF Day.
London, Jan. 2S.-A scrap Of paper
= foot square, posted on the wall Of
the Mansion House at 6:58 o'clock,
gave the first notice to London's
homeward hurrying thousands Of the
death Of the empress-Queen and the
advent OF a king. Access to the bull
letin was difficult by reason Of the
fact that excavations had been made
in the course of work Of improving
the street. But the barred heads Of a
silent group under a Pickering gas jet
told the crowds on the bus tops and
sidewalks that the queen was no
more.
An hour later more than thousand
newsboys had invaded the streets
with black-ruled newspapers, crying
death of the Queen" while through
the dark streets doomed the deep
toned notes of the big bell Of St.
Paul's cathedral and the bells of the
city churches re-echoing the news.

the queens death says her majesty
