it merged into the general twi-

the branches of the trees, like lines

But suddenly that deathlike lull in

agreeably, while he looked at her re-
scntfully. In that light he could but
dimlv discern her face. Her bonnet
had fallen from her head, her eyes
were bent before her as though striv-
ing to penetrate the gathering dark
ness. With his sudden spell of jealousy
came the temptation to clasp her in his
arms in that silent, isolated place, but
the figure Of the sailor came between
him and the desire, while pride, the
heritage of the gentleman, fought
down the longing. This self conquest
was rot accomplished, however, with

the PATRON, stung beyond endurance
by his thoughts.
Still no reply; only more hurried foot
steps. Around them sounded a gentle
rustling. A lizard scrambled out of
their path through the cracking leaves.
A bat or Some other winged creature
suddenly whirred before them and
vanished. They had now approached
the gate. through which they passed
and found themselves on the road lead
ing directly to the city, whose lights
had already begun to twinkle in the
dusk.
The cheering rumble of a carriage
and the aspect of the not far distant
town quickened her spirits and i'm
parted elasticity to her footsteps. Up
on the land baron they produced an
opposite effect. for he was obviously
reluctant to abandon the interview,
however unsatisfactory it might be.
There. was nothing to say, and yet he
was loath to leave her There was
nothing TO accomplish. and yet he
wished to remain with her. For this
reason as they drew near the city his
mood became darker, like the night

to have it leave him.

They were now at the broad entrance
of the brilliantly lighted hotel. Sew
eral loungers, smoking their after din
ner cigars, gazed at the couple curl
ously.
"Mauville's a lucky dog" said one.
''Yes; he was born with a sisier
spoon" replied the person addressed.
AS he passed through the envious
throng the land baron had regained his
self command. although his face was
marked with an unusual pallor. In his
mind one thought was paramount
that the walk begun at the burial
ground was drawing to an end, their
last walk, the finale of all between
them. Yet he could call to mind moth
ing further to say. His story had been
told, the conclusion reached. She, too,
had spoken, ana he knew she would
never speak differently. Bewildered
and unable TO adjust his new and
strange feelings. it dawned upon him
he had never understood himself and
her, that he had never really known
what love was, and he stood abashed,
confronted by his own ignorance. Pas

in their shadows, but now looked down
and discerned the pebbly bottom. All
this and much more surged through his
brain as he made his way through the
crowd and. entering the corridor of
the hotel, took formal leave of the
young girl at the stairway.
Good night, Miss Carew," he said
gravely.
Good night she replied. And then
on the steps she turned and looked
down at him, extending her hand.

knew was all he would ever receive
from her. He hardly felt the hand
clasp. He was hardly conscious when
she turned away.

BE, but not unparalleled. The so-oalled
battle Of Guadalete "a. D. ny, In which
TARIK the One-Eyed broke the visi-
gothic p8wer under RobErfGK, seems
to have lasted about week. The fight
ing at Leipzig began ON Oct. "a and did
not end until Oct. 10 CisIa). The truth
is that Leipzig, as regards both magnitude
and duration, comics nearest to being a
counterpart of Laoyang. There Is this
notable difference, however, that at
Leipzig the invader was not only far
away from his base Of supplies, but had
q far weaker force. Tho Japanese.
although the invaders, are not only
muck stronger Numerically, but much
clover to their base. Had NAPOLEON
possessed anything like the same adj
vantagcs at Leipzig, there can be no
doubt that he would have gained an over
whelmins victory. At Liaoyang the
Japanese labor under the disability OF
fighting Under three separate command
ers, unless 1t be true tlIut Field Marshal
OYAMA. who was reported the other
day to be conducting the assault upon
Port Arthur, has arrived upon the scene
Of battle and assumed the chief COM
mand there. -g....
II will be remembered that Leipzig,
although an indisputable victory, was
not Immediately decisive. NAPOLEON
still found in his genius and In tho almost
exhausted resources of France the means
Of waging the famous campaign Of 1914
That was because he had firm base to
retreat upon, Had the Japanese been
beaten at Liaoyang they would have
been equally fortunate. Every step Of
withdrawal toward the Manchurian sea-
coast would bring them nearer reinforce
ments and supplies Of ammunition. So
long as japan keeps control Of the sea
she will have an incompatible advantage
over Russia in respect Of the distance
Of the field Of hostilities from their
respective bases. The advantage, Of
course, may be more than counterbal-
anced by the fact that Russia has In
oomparably larger reserves to draw
upon.
