name was Miss Brattle. The pet she

must stay in her house. which would
be kept open during her absence. she
was a kindly old lady, ana I told her

told me I could bring my mother to
stay with me. Since the salary she
offered was considerable for such "a
work, after talking the matter over
with mother we decided to accept the
proposition
The house was to be left IN charge
Of d nanseryant and his wife. No one
else was expected 10 be there unless a
nephew Of Miss BrattIe should take
it into his head 10 come to the city.
Miss Brattle departed for three
months absence, ana mother and !
took possession Of a suit Of delightful
rooms OF course we were in clover,
the whole house to ourselves, not a
creature to intrude upon US. But one
morning the manseryant informed us
that the nephew. Mr.. Chester Graves,
would be there for dinner and would
occupy the room which bad always
been set apart for him, We were sor-
IN for this. but hoped be would spend
most Of his time elsewhere. Indeed the
servant told me that usually when in
town he was either engaged in bust

At last Miss Brattle wrote that She

my heart sank at the prospect of leay-

ECHOES FROM THE WAR
Incidents Of the Japanese Naval
Operations.
PRoPITIoUs OMEN OF VICTORY.

Legendary story Toid Of the Doves
at the machiman Shrine In Hako-
zaki-Happenings which show the
Heroism, courase and Patriotic
Fervor Of the Japanese.
The following little side lights deal
ing with japanese nasal operations iu
the far cast are taken from "Anec
dotes and Incidents Of tie Japan-Rus-
sian Naval Warfare, published ii To
kyo
Many superstltious stories are in
vented by the japanese to show their
firm conviction that they would win ir
this war. one Of these stories is about
the dove, which, you know. Is believed
from the old times to be a messenger
Of the Hachiman Daibosatsu. Japanese
Mars. and to be d good omen in bat
tie. Again. you must have learned in
the history Of Japan that the Hachi-
man shrine at Hakozaki, Fuknoha,
Chikuzea province, has the reputation
Of having caused the defeat Of the for-
eign invaders Wen. there are many
doves at the shrine at Hakozakl on
the occasion OF the China-Japanese
war. some years ago, they few away
for an unknown destination and did
not return until the end of that war
This strange behavior Of the doves was
a puzzle to the people Of those times,
and the story has come down To the
present. Now, prior to the beginning
Of the Russia-Japanese naval battle
that IS, on Feb. 5about 700 doves,
which were usually assembled in the
neighborhood IL the Fuku-TekimOn
(triumphal arch came down IN groups
of from thirty TO fifty to the sacred
basin, id which the people wash their
hands before they worship at the
shrine, and washed their wings. AT
The end Of that day, About Z Ia the
evening, d tremendous sound, as Of the
crashing Of the towering arch, was
heard by the much frightened people
OF the neighborhood, who then has
tened to the shrine to see what had
occurred. 10! Hundreds Of doves
We're uniformly ascending TO the skies
and then flew III the direction OF the
northwest. These doves up 20 a re-
cent date had not returned The peo-
pie alleged that they have gone to Ko-
rea in order to protect our forces. Be-
fore many days had elapsed after their
departure the victory at Chemulpo was
reported.
The heads Of japanese children are
