SPEAKING Italics,

A piece of parliamentary repartee
quite as good as the famous retorts in
the house of commons and our Con-
gress comes from New England uni
versity. Two students. ranged against
each other in debate. grew very warm
and took to commenting on each 9TH
er's oratorical manner. One of them
spoke with much emphasis. letting the
stress of his voice fall explosively on
certain passages.
His opponent opened his speech by
saying: MY friend on the negative
thinks to win this debate by speaking
exclamation marks and italics"
The other could do nothing at the
moment to turn the laugh which this
speech raised. but when his turn came
he got back" at his opponent with
this retort:
my friend on the affirmative says l
speak italics. l should say that he
uses italics in the way they are used
in the English Bible, not to emphasize,
but to mark what is not original and
inspired. Companion.

CHAPTER X.
The Enchanted Knight.


Merrick was provoked.
With her entry came the peculiar
Oriental perfume she always patron
lied. Merrick had once thought it
the most fragrant in the world. but
somehow he had grown to detest the
same. since 1t represented one he had
no reason to love. or who would IL pos
sible wreak injury upon Constance
because, forsooth, she stood between
the adventures and success.
The princess was very gay.
Merrick had settled himself back in
a corner, where he could look on and
keep from being dragged into the con-
versation.
By appearing to be very drowsy he
was able to thus keep pretty much to
himself, and II a question were fired
at him he answered In the slow, stud
led manner of one who battled with
the demons of slumber.
Thus he was able to observe out of
the corners of his eyes the maneuvers
by means of which the witch of Monte
Carlo lured her victims on.
Would Jones succumo?
He was a confirmed bachelor. who
had doubtless stood successfully

What of that?
He had never met such an enemy as
the charming Oglavitch before.
More than one confirmed woman.
hater ip Paris had succumbed to her
enchantment.
Besides. Jones was unfortunate in
that he had no amulet to ward OF the
evil influence.
So Merrick. while listening to the
merry rattle of her tongue ana watch.
ing the peculiar influence her flashing
orbs seemed to exert over the poor
victim upon whom her batteries were
turned. fell to specializing al to wnat
she expected to accomplish.
Merrick remembered that she ap,
peared to be in league with Count
Leon and the blond Cossack. She had
certainly been instrumental in in,
weighing Constance to the dinner on
board her English cousins steam
yacht.
Did that unholy alliance still exist
II so. what desperate game was
now being played?
Was the princess able to mesmerize
the two comrades by the brilliancy OF
her conversation or the wonderful in.

companied her debut upon the scene

If we keep on Monte Carlo will close

If they hoped to hold undisputed
possession of their little fort they
were doomed to disappointment. Just
before starting time Merrick heard
the guard in conversation with some
one, and at sound of the voice he
knew they were undone. for even
humble railway employees bowed the
knee under the magical spell of the
Russian princess dulcet voice.
And. sure enough. with abject apollo
giles the charmed guard opened the
door and ushered in a radiant collec
tion of silks and jewels and beauty
that at once illumined the hitherto
rather dingy carriage.

Foiled Again.

Hunted and harried to his last

Seeing that escape is out of the
question, he mutters:
'At least the historical novelist OF
the future shall have no opportunity
to marry me off in the last chapter to
one of those impossible heroines."
So saying. with last yell OF def,

and pulls the trigger.

TYPHOONS DELAY
THE NIPPON MARU
STORM ENCOUNTERED BETWEEN
HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI.
VESSEL SAILS AT TEN TONIGHT.

Three typhoons were the cause of the
Nippon Maru not arriving here yester-
day afternoon from the Orient This is
the first time almost, in the history of
the company that any of the vessels
nave failed to arrive at this port from
the Orient the day before their regular
schedule time. The Nippon Maru was
day late leaving Yokohama however
and made the run to this port in the
very quick time of days and II hours
The first typhoon was encountered
between Hong Kong and Shanghai. The
vessel was delayed in leaving Shanghai
on account of this encounter. The
next storm was met before the boat
got to Nagasaki and after leaving that
port third typhoon was met before
the boat got to Kobe. She was late in
arriving at Yokohama so the agents
held the boat a full "a hours before per-
mtting her to sail for Honolulu and
San Francisco.
The vessel brought 629 tons of cargo
for this port. A number of Japanese
and Chinese also came in the steerage
