BRITISH NEWSPAPERS FEARFUL
THAT A CLASH MAY OCCUR
IN THE FAR EAST.
GRAVE CRISIS APPROACHING
RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND Japan NEARING THE
BREAKING POINT.

London, Dec. 21.-The morning
newspapers display increased alarm
over the aspect of affairs in the far
East, rather from the fear that some
unforeseen incident may p~recipitate a
conflict than from any belief that the
resources of diplomacy have become
exhausted, the opinion being still al.
most universal that both Russia and
Japan are anxious to avoid war.
h Morning Post, which is inspired
IN the Japanese interest, makes a sug-
gestion which may possess signif-
cance-namely that Japan should cut
the Gordfan Knot by declaring a pro-
~tectorate over Korea. The paper con-
tends that such a solution would COM
mend itself to all the powers with the
exception OF Russia and that it might
even be welcomed at st. Petersburg if
1t be true that Russia does not desire
war.
The special cablegrams from the far
East published in this mornings news
papers throw no new light on the sit
uatlon. but all are agreed that Japan
mas not sent an ultimatum to Russia.
The correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph. who after a tour of Manchuria
has arrived at Nagasaki, expresses the
belief that there will be no war, GER
tainly not before the spring and that
Russia does not want a war before
she has consolidated her position in
Manchuria. She is apprehensive. how
ever, of the strength of the Japanese
fleet and over the attitude of China
and Great Britain.
The correspondent doubts If there
are as many as 1905 troops south
or Mukden, or whether the stores there
Will last for six months. Electric
lights have been installed at Mukden.
phe correspondent believes that Port
Arthur is over-fortif1ed and says:
e All positions cannot be defended as
not half of them are yet provided with
guns. The Russians are preparing for
the investment of Port Arthur, but
will make a fight to secure Dalny from
occupation"

SHORT STORY FOR
EVENING HOURS
BILLY

Where's de geezer wat hires de
guys?"
The boy stood in the clear space Of
the office floor and flung down his
question like gauntlet OF defiance.
He was freckled.face bullet.head-
ed little fellow. so stunted in growth
as to seem hardly more than a tiny
child with a shrill voice several sizes
too large for his body. He had red
hair. and eyebrows and lashes that
were tinted, not shaded, with colcr.
His nose was fiasco. He was ragged
He was obviously of the streets. He
stood alone, unabashed and unafraid.
His clear eyes, as blue as fine china,
scanned the faces Of those sitting n.
the desks bordering the room. Thcr
searched the half circle. until, at the
end Of the line, he caught the glance OF
a pair OF dark eyes that returned his
gaze with a friendly expression. He
walked over to the girl with ready con.
fidence. She was sitting before a type.
writer at a desk placed on platform
that raised her above the level OF her
office companions. The boy came
close to her side. He was so short
that his head was almost on his back
when he looked up TO her face and
again shrilled in his high, young tire.
BILE:
Where's de geezer wat hires de
guys?"
The girl smiled. Are you looking
for something to do?" she asked.
Bet your sweet life ! am" the
youngster answered.
Il don't know whether or not there
is a chance for you here" she told
him, but I'll take you to the manager;
you can ask him yourself"
She led the way TO the presiding
genius Of the establishment and intro.
duced her small protege. She left him
alone TO present his case, but her
smile, her beauty, and her kindness
had made him hers forever. She had
won a good angel disguise.
Presently he returned to her desk.
1--WE got job" he announced, and to
demonstrate his joy, he struck song
and dance attitude and reformed
some audacious and noiseless steps
that testified to his skill as a dancer.
Have you, really?" the girl ques-.
toned, as II delighted.
Sure thing" he replied with assum.
ed carelessness. Two plunks a week.

to the adored one. II amt scared 10

smiling.
He gave her the flower She pinned
II at her throat while the child looked
on, an exclamation point of pleasure.
This cemented an enduring friendship
and installed the new Office boy, who,

The expression of endearment caused
one side of Billy's face to again become
void of a seeing eye, but TO the two
who beheld him. he was freckled-face,
bullet-headed angel whose beauty was
something enhancing.
"Youse has got togedder?" he ques-
toned anXiously.

Hilda laid her hand on the boys

moment with the lump in his throat

He struck one of his favorte song
and dance attitudes and went skim

JOY,

as events showed, proved himself a
sure winner"
II happened in one OF the Office build
ings here in Toledo. II Is not a new
story. The same thing has been done
before in fiction, or at least something
like II, but tell il as truth as II was
told to me by thosemost interested
The names are fictitious. leave 1t to

The girl behind the typewriter was
| Hilda. Max was the man behind the
rainbow" They were employed in the
same Office, and they did the thing that
is commonly done when youth and
beauty meet together. They fell in
love. And the course OF their love did
not run smooth.
Billy. the boy, took notice. After he
was convinced to his satisfaction of the
condition OF affairs, he appointed him
self committee OF one to adjust the
with his duties. he had a seat in a cor
ner where he could watch those who
sat before the half-circle of desks. His
boyish fancy turned to Max, after Hill
da. and his quick eyes soon detected
the many times during the day the
young mans surreptitious glance was
turned in the direction of Hilda. Billy
was the girls bound slave. She was
invariably good to him. and he had a
way Of appearing Unexpectedly at her
side like tricky gnome. He did not
always speak, but he lowered near fire.
quently and said things with his eyes
that his tongues had not the cunning
to utter.
Finally he concluded II was time to
take hand In the guidance Of Hildas
destiny. He had surprised her in tears.
and his heart was wrung at sight of
her sorrow. He never saw Max and
Hilda together. but his observations
and the remarks that had been made
in his presence, had quickened his half
formed knowledge into understanding
Max is all right. Hilda is all right
It's dead shame dey hand each odder
de CLASSY eye" he decided. I'm goin'
TO git into de game"
He began operations with Hilda,
Say, is Max your steady?" lie demand
ed unCeremoniously one afternoon
when they were alone in the Office.
The flush that stained the cheeks OF
the girl confirmed the truth her lips
denied.
you must not say such things" she
cried hurriedly, glancing about in fear
o! listeners. "Of course not, we are
merely acquaintance"
Billy openly scoffed at her assertion,
He turned to her face whose left
side was, for second, wholly devoid
OF a seeing eye,
Jaw, come off," he jeered. Amt
saw him lookin' at you like you was a
five dollar bill and he was thirty cents?
Amt | saw you dom weeps on de
side? Quit your kiddin' and git to-

Having delivered himself thus, Billy
walked away with the air of one who
has spoken nightly.
In his role as peacemaker, he con-
sidered It his duty to next approach
Max. He addressed him rs man TO
man and without reserve. Say youse
want to quit scrappin' and git toged-
der" he said sternly nodding his head
in the direction of Hilda's desk.
Max scowled a black scowl at his
fearless adviser and told him his in
reference was not needed. But he had
a second thought and inquired eager

tween Max and Hilda.
The trouble was caused by the young
mans jealousy. lie had never for
mally asked Hiida to be his wife, but
out words that he loved her worse
than we'll" and should conduct her
self accordingly. Hilda was too pretty
a girl to be left unnoticed. She did
not court attention. but she liked ad-
miration and did not yearn for the
gallantries with an appreciation that
maddened Max and his misery turned
him sullen.
Men and women are not accountable
when they are in love. Max began to
make a display of his avoidance OF
Hilda. He went obtrusively out OF
his way to shun meeting her. When
his treatment of the girl was most out
rageous, he really worshipped her and
prayed that something might happen
TO Stay him. In public, Hilda treated
Mix with open scorn. In private she
wept. Her life seemed like an empty
ballroom with no light in 1t. She
| thought she has only one heart to break
and that II was broken. She tried to
cultivate the philosophy that accepts
all troubles of the heart with equanim-
ity, and she sought diversion by going
about with other young men of her ac-
quaintance. Nothing had power to
calm her soul abraded. II was Max
she wanted: only Max. She learned
that the wrong man is always the
wrong man and never can take the
place of the right one no matter how
complete his devotion or what the cir
cumstances may be. Max. looking on,
grew surlier and more erratic in his
actions. In his desperation he con-
.idered a career of riotous living. His
unrest brought upon him the curse OF
the rowing hoof, and, out of business
hours. he wandered aimlessly, walking
until he was so weary he could do moth
ing but seek his bed and sleep the sleep
of exhaustion.
Billy. watching the complication,
grew angry at MaX's perversity. The
darn gazaboo," he muttered to himself,
and frowned like a little demon when
ever the unhappy Max crossed his path
way.
Hilda gave up the struggle for ap-
pearances and was openly downcast
and wretched. Her work suffered from
her depression, and she was often
obliged 20 remain after Office hours to
correct the mistakes resulting from her
disordered mind and nervous fingers.
The dusk of a day of sharp edges
foreshadowed the falling of night. Hill
da thought she was alone in the office,
and cast aside all restraint. Careless
of the damage she might do to the
typewriter. she bowed her head on the
keys and wept miserably. Billy, prowl-
ing in the hall like an uneasy spirit,
heard the sounds of her woe. He
stealthily opened the door and peered
inside. He saw Hilda's hent figure,
and her shoulders lquivering with the
force OF her sobs. Billy's eyes glittered
like blue steel. lie closed the door
noiselessly, sped along the hall. and,
without waiting for the elevator de-
scended the stairs with leaps that car
ried him through the air like some
swooping bird. Max had left the build
ing but few moments before. When
