London, Sept. 21.-The question of the
support of the Nationalist party for the
new fiscal policy of retaliation is said
to be the subject of negotiation between
the government and the Irish leaders.
1t is reported that Chief Irish Secre-
tary Wyndham is offering concession
in the shape of Roman Catholic col
lege at Dublin, while the Nationalists,
on the other hand. are demanding a
measure of local self-government as the
price of their support. Whether or not
these statements are well founded. it
appears clearly that the Nationalists
intend to use the cabinet crisis as a
lever.
William O'Brien, M. p, speaking at
Cork tonight declared unequiyocally
that both OF the English parties were
broken and the solid Irish party would
meet which ever came out on top. The
future aim of the Irish party. he said,
was ireland nation" and they in
tended to adopt position Of independ-
ence and hold their hands until it was
discovered from whom the best terms
could be obtained. The means which
secured the abolition of landlordism de-
clared the Irish leader, could easily on
the same lines achieve home rule
Premier Balfour's private secretary
informed the Associated Press later that
the reported cabinet appointments had
not vet been made. adding that Mr..
Balfour hardly expected to be in a posi-
tion to give out the list of new ministers
this afternoon.
Apparently Lord Miner is still con-
sidering the offer of the colonial secre-
taryship and thereto is probably due
the delay. a ~ 4.

 Without another word Andrews took hls coat from the frightened bearer, turned and started toward quarters.

 No one ventured to reply, and silently the boys turned aud obeyed In the meantime Henry had united the rope from around the tree, and having drawn on his coat he started to leave the spot with the other members of the team.

Against Odds.
BY WILLIAM WALLACE WHITLOCK.
 IN TWO PARTs.-PART I.

Feeling was strong at the Norwood Mill tary Academy against Henry Haswell and his roommate, Dutchy Neumann. The two boys were new cadets, but they had both entered. the third class instead of the lowest. or fourth, grade. This, however, was not the cause of their unpopuarity. Henry had told on one of the most popular second-elassmen, cadet sergeant, who had attempted to play q trick on Dutehy, whereby the latter, it was in- tended, should be made to suffer for the midnight disturbance of which he was in hocent. Fortunately, despite the semi darkness of the corridor, Henry had rec ognized the delinquent as he thrust the kettledrum and sticks into Dutchy's hand, and on the strength of the testimony the elder boy had been convicted and reduced to the ranks
 Consequently. when 1t was learned that Henry had organized q tug-ofwar team to compete for the state championship at me county fair, which was to be held in Lansing two weeks later, his enemies banded together for his discontinue. Prac- tice 1t was learned. was indnlged in daily late In the afternoon, after the drill hour behind the gymnasium and drill-hall. No htimation was given to Henry and the three other members of his team that their plans had been discovered and on the afternoon in question they were allowed to get well settled to the hopeless task of pulling down q stout walnut tree before their enemies appeared upon the scene Then suddenly they found themselves sur rounded by the whole corps of cadets save the few who were on duty and some of the frst-classmen, who considered it beneath their dignity to take part in manifestation of this nature.
 The methods of Henry and his team were primitive. The team was composed of Dutchy, whose big. heavy body and limbs were formidable engines of dransht; Shorty Carson, T jolly, reckless boy, who had spent three years at sea as runaway and whose heart Henry had captured by laying him flat on his baek-a feat never before accomplished by any one under mans estate-and quiet, studious boy by the name of Parsons, whom no one hitherto had suspected of being able to lift fye-pound dumbbell, but who had proved perfect tower of nervoas, wiry strength. Henry had removed and bound his gray coat around his waist as protec- tion against the constriction of the rope, and, having given the word to "go,' the four boys had thrown themselves on their sides and began to tug away in most un- scientific fashion against their immovablc opponent. digging their feet into the earth to prevent slipping. At the height of the unequal struggle the other cadets came upon them.

The next two meetings of the Circle were not recorded. Frank, the faithful secre- tary, was sick with the humps, and May, the janitress, stayed in the house out of sympathy.
 But Harold, Jennie and Will were not idle They had to devise series of examinations for the future honorary members, and well they did their work, as we shall see.
 At the following meeting-that Is, the third after the presidents eventful hunt for the peaches-the fun began. The five mem- bers were all present, as were Uncle Ralph Mrs. Johnson and Polly, the honorary mem bers who had been admitted without any examination. Of applicants there were six.

Don't you know that It's against regu. lations to pull down trees?"
 The only reply 10 this was laugh from the hundred or more onlookers who had crowded around the four tugglng boys.
 "Go on; don't pay any attention to them,' - said Henry to his companions. "Heaye"
 "Heaver echoed the fourth classman, mockingly, and, selzlng small boy who chanced to be near. sent him crawling over the unfortunate "anchor."
 "rhat'll dol Ease up!'' commanded Henry, in omlnously calm tones, and. rising to his feet, he began to free himself from the so!ds of the rope. A sudden silence had fallen on
