positions. Both sides are said to have
suffered severely. The newly mounted
japanese guns are said to command
the entire harbor. The position OF the
remnant of the Russian Port Arthur
fleet is said to be precarious. and it
is believed the vessels must soon
emerge or be destroyed.
Advices from Manchuria are to the
effect that the Japanese and Russian
outposts and scouts continue in close
contact south, southeast and east of
Mukden. Skirmishes are occurring
daily. and an aggressive general action
is expected soon.
1t is believed that the general en-
gagement will take place near Tie Pass,

Hun river merely to temporarily check
the japanese advance

Pretty soon the girl arose and looked
at him closely. Then she drew the

went back to her sewing.
Amos awoke in the afternoon. A
tall. old man was bending over him.

pain. STEADY with that arm. doc he
said. Guess l must have twisted it.
That's better" The mist was clearing
a little. A face was bending very close
to him. A head was lightly pressed to
his chest. Heart all right. doc? Say.

a little struggle to rise. but a hand held
him firmly.

It was a commanding voice that rang
out clear and true

ed. Have we won?"
Then a moment later. he heard the
voice again.
Gently" il said. and this time it was
infinitely soft and sweet
And Amos fit himself being Iifttd,
and remembered no more.
When he opened his eyes again he
was in a large and cheerful chamber
with such a soft and restful paper on
the walls. and such pretty flecks Of sun
shine playing across the creamy ceiling
He was lying on a bed. a very comfort
able bed. even if his head felt stiff and
sore. and his arm seemed as heavy as
lead.
There was a little screen between
him and the nearest window, but by
turning his head Just little he could
see the window across the room.
There was a young woman sitting by
this window, young woman who was
sewing on something white and fluffy.
Amos watched the swift play of the
shining needle for "A few moments.
expecting that presently the young wO-
man would look his way.
Hello he finally called.
1t was very faint hello. but the
young woman instantly put down her
sewing and came to the bedside
Good morning" she said. and looked
at him narrowly.
We'll. we'll. said Amos.

"Are-are you my nurse, Alice?"
Don't look alarmed" laughed the
girl. i've had quite a lot OF practical

And TO think. said Amos reproach-
fully, that l took you for frivolous
