here " puld be sc mean as to want to
do you out OF it,"
The taunt passed unheeded, II not
unheard, for, to the dismay, and prob
ably to the disgust, of the onlookers,
Number Two, scoundrel though he
was, knelt down beside the corpse with
a look on his face that seemed strange
ly out of keeping in that company.
Councillor Number Six was appar-
emily not a sentimental person.

knife into folk, and then we do the
handkerchief business over EN-
Seems to me this syndicate ought to
turn itself into an amalgamated mur-
der and mOurner company combined
Murders committed on the shortest
notice; funerals to match; tears al
ways in stock. If you don't see the

dow, step inside and ask for another
No extra charge for handkerchiefs.' "
He spoke to unlistening ears, as far
as Number Two was concerned; see
ing which the fellow slapped the kneel-
ing man on the shoulder noisily
Cheer up. my buck!" he said; you
had a lot to say against women just
now, but you seem nightly low down
all at once because one of ems met
with an accident"
Yes" answered Number Two, ris-
ing and looking around weariedly;
I've a good deal to say against them,
as you observe, and that particular one
has good deal to say against me, if
she could say it,"
you've taken good care she can't"
sneered the other. But, look here,
my friend. 1t strikes me that that
lady came here meaning mischief
When a woman wants to make it
nasty for a man, she amt too partic-
ular if she makes it nasty for his
mates, too. That's the worst of a
woman. When she's set on a thing
she goes at it blind Now we don't
institute too rigorous an investigation
into the moral character of those who
have seats on this council-not too
rigorous, that is-but we hope for the
sake of all our peace of mind, not to
say our necks, that there aren't any
other ladies who want to get equal
with you. Otherwise we might have
old Jonah on board at once"
Il don't think you need fear any
further trouble of the sort" answered
Number Two, with a mirthless smile.
Then he turned to address the COM
pany more generally:
81 had a proposal to submit to you
tonight, gentlemen, but perhaps it will
be best for all our safety if we get
out of this place as soon as possible,
and out of sight of"-he hesitated
moment, gulped at something in his
throat, like one suffering from physical
sickness, and then, as if impatient OF
his weakness, pointed deliberately at
the corpse--"of that. With your per-
mission well postpone this meeting.
1t won't be safe to meet here again. es-
pecially after what's happened. | know
it's desirable to change the place of
meeting as often as possible, but for
the present I'm absolutely positive that
us all meet there at midnight the day
after tomorrow. Do you agree?"
Yes, we agree" said Councillor
Number Six But first we must get
rid of the body. Is there a pond
handy? If we button brick under the
coat so that it can't slip out, and pack
the pocket with stones, she'd keep

United States treasury Just how the
b1under occurred has never been shown.
The consul sold the horses to Capt.
Riley for $500. The delighted captain
abandoned his plan for bringing back
q cargo. and without waiting a mo-
me1lt started for New York to make
his fortune with the wonderful steeds.
Ere they were ever landed at New
York they were visited by many thou
sands OF people at the docks, and be-
came the most conspicuous attractions
OF the City. The captain was offered
the incredible amount of $4,000 for
them, but would not sell them even
at that price. Then the trouble began.
The Whfgs, led by Henry Clay, were
constantly accusing Jackson OF disre-
garding the constitution, and he was as
sensitive as a child to such imputa-
tiens. The acceptance OF the gift with
out the authority of congress would

the matter worse. The whole affair
must be kept from the knowledge OF
the Wings. The sale was ignored by

wharf Poor Riley lost the amount of
his investment. though he was finally
allowed the sum of 1892 for the trans
portation of the animals

pectancy for the. slew adjustment of

a ludicrous one. 1t illustrates
the almost painful regard for the letter
OF the constitution in the old days. and
the enbarrassments which may arise
from the blunders of officials. The
successful suppression Of the unfor-
tunate sale to Capt. Riley is one of the
most remarkable facts in the political
history of that time. 1t would have
been delightful scandal for the Wings
TO exploit had they known OF 1t in
time. Not one OF the numerous biog-
raphers of Gen. jackson seems to have
understood the matter. Jackson him
self was wholly blameless in it all.
Probably he never knew the facts OF
the case in full. 1t is difficult to
imagine the feelings Of o.
Morocco If he ever learned the Duur1sh
disposition of his gift Capt. Riley
never recovered from his chagrin at the
loss or the fortune he had had before

the Wings was an example OF petty
meanness in politics, for they them
selves boaSted of a broad construction
of the constitution, while they hectored
him for preserving .the Union by his

Naml ko-By Kenjiro Tokutomi. Her
bert B. Turner and Co., Boston. For
sale by st. Paul Book and Stationery
company.
"Nami-K -Ko" is the first modern Japa-
nese novel to be translated into Eng
lish and it has attained great popu-
larity. 1t is the story of a Japanese
wife who is sacrificed to the peculiar
custom which makes the husbands s
mother the head Of his household. Ac-
cording to the Confucian system Of
ethics mother may divorce her sons
wife without his knowledge or con-
sent, and it is this unusual rule which
the author has used as basis for his
story. The book is pathetic, dramatic
and descriptive, but will appeal to
Americans more on the ground of it's
novelty than any particular literary
value. The hero and husband is q
naval officer. and there are many in
cidents of his career which will be in
teresting just now when Japan is so
much in the public eye. There Is an
excellent description OF battle be-
tween the Chinese and japanese fleets
Off the Yalu and another of Port Ar
thur during the Japanese occupation.
The story itself ends sadly, but con-
sistently, and the reader is thankful
he is not subject to Cenfucian ideas
and customs.

lean hero. James Riley, who filed the
nation with his fame from q somewhat
similar experience OF his own which
occurred almost exactly a century ago.
This Yankee skipper OF a tramp ship
was wrecked on the northwest coast
of Africa and seized as a slave by the
Sahara bandits. After suffering more,
it would seem, than any other white
man of his age, he was redeemed by
the generosity OF an English trader at
Mogador. for whom he poured forth
unstihted praise throughout his life.
Returning to America, he wrote an
account of his experiences, under the
title of Capt Rley's Narrative"

tion to our meager national literature

erous Engiishman who had redeemed
him. He wrote his great book. He
cleared a farm of timber, and built a
big mill at Wiltshire He was sent to
the legislature, and projected great
canal schemes. Then he turned again
to seafaring, encountered pirates and
suffered shipwreck on the Florida
coast, and again sailed for Morocco.
He was there in 1888, when the
American ship John Adams startled the
harbor Of Mogador by a terrific fusil-
lade. which was explained as a salute
of respect to the Moorish governor. Its
real purpose was to impress the gov
ernment Of the country with the naval
power of the United States.
The sultan had already heard from
the Spaniards vague rumors Of q ter
