conflict stormed the heights and drove
the Russians back toward Port Arthur.
Combination of luck and courage gain

Russian war experts figure that the
Japanese will attempt to take Port

heavy artillery and machine guns fell
into the hands of the Japs.

PRISONERS OF THE IRocUoIs

PRISONERS OF THE IROCUOIS
The faith of the Iroquois was worse
than Punic, nor was there lacking
swift proof of its real nature. Law
and Pembroke, the moment they had
led their little garrison beyond the
gate, found themselves surrounded by
a ring of tomahawks and drawn bows

found themselves beyond all POSSIBLE

over they now bitterly repented. Teg-
anisoris regarded them with a sar-
donic smile.

though some of you wear blue coats.
These we may perhaps adopt into our
tribe, for our boys grow up but slowly,
and some of the blue coats are good
fighters. These dogs Of Illini we shall
of course burn. As for your war
house, you will no longer need it, since
you are now friends of the Iroquois.
and are going to their villages. You
may say to Corlaer that you well know
the IroQuois have no prisoners"
The horrid significance Of this threat
was all too soon made plain. In an
hour the little stockade was but q
mass OF embers and ashes. In another
hour the little valley had become a
Geh emma of anguish and lamentations,
with whose riot of grief and woe there
mingled the savage Civilizations of a
foe whose treachery was but surpassed
by his cruelty. Again the planting

and remnants of blackened and incin-
Grated bones. By nightfall the party
| of prisoners had begun wild journey
through the wilderness, whose horrors
surpassed any they had supposed to be
humanity endurable.
Day after day, week after week, for
more than month, and much of the
| time in winter weather, they toiled on,
| part of the way by boat, the remain
der Of the journey on foot, crossing
snow-clogged forest, and tangled
thicket and frozen morass, yet daring
not to drop out for rest, since to lag
might mean to die. 1t was as though
after some frightful nightmare of SUI
fering and despair that at length they
reached the villages Of the Five Ma
lions, located far to the east, at the
foot of the great waterway which
| Law and his family had assembled more
than year before.
| Yet If that which had gone before
seemed like some bitter dream, surely
the day of awakening promised but lit
tie better hope. From village to vii
| lage, footsore and i'll. they were hur'
ried without rest, at each new stopping
place the central figures of barbar
GUS triumph; and nowhere did they
meet the representatives of either thu
French or the English government
whose expected presence had constf

Teganisoris of Pembroke. Where ar,

In the most exclusive importing es-
adjustments the simple French blouse
is the thing. Simple it is in line, but
it atones for this concession by an ex-
travagance in handwork that brings its
cost up to distressing heights.
Tiny hand tucks, inset lace. open
stitching, hand embroidery are all Law

berthe or collar or sleeve is conSpicu-

of material and extreme daintiness In
needlework are the making Of these
French blouses, which are tucked or

Here is the one that led him far

Grim beasts that hide in dens and lars.
Indians creeping unawares,
Strong forts thrown up in oak-trSe's shade
And snares and weapons strangely made

Dear Little Boy, that died!

The sudden laugh that used to. thrill

At every turn the vanished joy
Comes back to life in some old toy;
The rocking-horse that could not rest
For riding on an endless quest;
The soldier-men who had to fight
In grim battalions day and night:

And left for other task begun;
And here. the little empty bed,
For all the nights untenanted:

How many a mothers soul will know
The anguish Of this self-same woe,
This strange, lf-comprehended lack

At evening, from his fill of play.
With the long annals of the day;
The twilight talk; then, close to her.
The small. white-robed petitioner:
And after all is done and said.
The tender tucking into bed.
How many mothers heart will beat
Faster for fancied sound Of feet,
For fancied touch of finger-tips
And rough caress of childish lips;
And when the midnight dark is deep
How many q mother stir in sleep,
And wake, and call with arms held wild

Perhaps the most striking feature OF
the spring modes is the quantity OF
lace used on everything, but especially
ON headgear The lace veil or scarf
that drapes the brims of the hats and
falls into a curtain behind has become
an inevitable feature in millinery for
the moment. Some people look very
charming in these lace effects. 1t Is
owing to the fact that lace scarfs and
wells forms a complete trimming in
themselves that SO many of the new
shapes in vogue are very simple.
The "Shepherdess" shape and the
old Dolly Warden" still continue de
riaueur, while the plain, straight lines
of the old masters, with the addition
of strings in some cases. give evidence
of the excellent taste of the Partisan
milliners. Nothing after all can be
better style than these decisive lines

horns and crinolines, rendered soft and
