OF pleasure and surprise dancing in

The scene of the story is laid in tho

the most picturesque old castles. Hero

women, could not conceal her curiosity

question home to him and says: ut isn't

The poetry of earth Is never dead and no

With these, said John, his
hand stretched toward the WALL with
the type of the Inattrocento.
And now listen to the adjectives as he
moved from picture to picture: with
these last ladies of old years. these solf-
colored shadows, that were once rosy
flesh; these proud, humble, innocent
subtle, brave. shy, pious, pleasure-loving
women of the long ago. With them:
with their hair and eyes and jewels, their
tip-tilted, scornful, witty little noses;
their "throats 50 round and lips so round
and lips so red" their splendid raimen.:
with their mirth, pathos, passion, kind
ness and cruelty. their infinite variety
their undying youth, etc. etc"
The wonder of it Is that the editors
did not blue-pencl nine-tenths of them
and am sure that they wished much to
do 50. Such excessive use Of descriptive
words would border perilously near to
redundancy, were It not for the authors

London and who has since been editor II

various literary work. His recent stories
which proved unusually popular were
THE Cardinals Snuff Box" and "The
Lady Paramount" Mr. Harland Is a
natural story writer, as readers of his
latest piece If fiction. my Friend Pros
pero," will readily agree. He possesses
all the imagination and sprightliness of
recital and charm of style which usually
belong only to authors gifted in an excep-
tional degree. If you wish something en-
tirely out of the ordinary, a story dainty,
spirited, winsome and altogether fasct-
mating, then read my Friend Prospero."
The reading of the story, however, will
entail two regrets: One is that all people
In real life are not always as quick-wit-
ted and clever. and the other is that all
elderly people are not as genial and
CHEEKY as Lady Blanchemain. Listen to
the description of her. Do you know her,
/ wonder
Her beautiful old gray eyes, full of
tenderness and shrewdness, of curiosity,
irony, indulgence, overarched and en-
phasized by regular black eyebrows, Her
pretty little plump pink-white hands,
with their shining panoply of rings? And
her luxurious, courageous, high-hearted
manner of dressing? The light colors
and jaunty fashion Of her gowns? Her
laces ruffles, embroideries? Her gay lit
tie bonnetsg Her gems? Linda, Baron

what pity and why wonder cannot all

for s'our" friend Prospero also, whose

think this destroys something Of the ro-
nance of the hero.
In the passage quoted you will see the
marvelously imaginative use OF the "ad-

content himself with one or two In his
buoyant descriptions but needs must use
three and four to fully express his spir-

Celestial Empire Awakes.

Then the great Celestial empire began
to waken up. Foreign engineers were
sent along the coast to pick out a safe
harbor which might be fortified and made
the chief station for the new and mod
ern navy of China. They settled on
Port Arthur. and it was planned to trans
form the place into an immensely strong
and completely fitted naval station. Plans
were drawn for great dock yards, work
shops, dry docks, renting basins and
foundries, while above them on the com
manding cliffs strong fortresses were to
be erected. The contracts for all this
work were let to French contractors so
that 1t was Frace which first among the
nations had to do with this Gibraltar of
the far east French contractors, with
the aid of swarms of Chinese coolies
working like slaves for 10 cents or 20
cents a day, worked for years on the
works in and about Port Arthur Not
until 1891 was the place turned over to
China, ready for occupancy as great
naval station.
BY that time Port Arthur-its name
sake already forgotten-had become a
fairly well built town, containing more
than 1000 houses and Shops outside of the
government works 1t than had a COM
mercial population Of 0O00 to say nothing
of the Chinese garrison of 1000 or more
soldiers. The forts were mounted with
modern guns, and Chinese gunners were
trained by German and other foreign ex-
perts In the use of artillery
In 1894, during the month of November
the victorious Japanese army marched
down one of the two narrow passes which
lead through the Surrounding mountains to
the city of Port Arthur, captured the
city, and put to the sword many of the
inhabitants, noncombatants as well as
members of the garrison. 1t was bloody
day, though the aJpanese officers stoned
the slaughter as quickly as was possible
For time then Port Arthur was an

the Japanese, until the pressure of the al
lied powers forced her to give 1t back
10 the Chinese in January, 1896. Before
they marched out the Japanese DESTROYED

H. M. Y in the Chicago Tribune.
For hundreds of years Chinese coast
ing junks. beating along the Yellow
sea in. the oeastwlse trade, had run into
the land locked harbor of Lu Shun Kow,
down at the extreme southern end Of
the LIaotung peninsula. All along the
shore great gray cliffs ran up straight
from the sea to height which varied
from 800 to 100 feet If you came close
enough in you could make out a slit in
the mountains which gave entrance to a
body of water within. This slit was not
more than 200 or 800 yards wide. Once you
got through the passageway there was a
wide stretch of water before You, hemmed
in by cliffs on every side. At high tide
the water was deep enough for the an
chorage of a big ship, but when the tide
went out hundreds of acres of mud fats
were exposed to view.
In the valleys between the cliffs were
built some fifty or sixty miserable mud
huts, and in them lived 800 or 400 Chi
nese coolies. That was the situation up
to 1850 in what is now Port Arthur.
In that year three<o four ships Of the
British navy came that way on survey
ing expedition. One of these ships was
the gunboat Algerine, commanded by
Lieut. William Arthur. Lieut.. Arthur
daringy ran his vessel in between the
cliffs which guard the harbor, which was
thereupon named Port Arthur in honor
of his exploit.
But beyond the name, Port Arthur gain
ed no new fame for another twenty
years. In 1881 1t was still merely a
convenient harbor into which coasting
junks could run for safety when great
storms swept the seas outside. On the
cliffs and in the valleys thereabouts there
still lived only a few hundred wretehed
Chinese coolies.
