The captain noticed this and ven
tured upon interrogating her further.
''How long had he been gomez"
Her lips parted; she was deeply
agitated, but when she spoke it was
coldly and with studied precision.
"Mr. Jeffrey was not at home to-
night at all. He has not been in all
day"
"Not at home? Did his wife know
that he was going to dine out?"
''She said nothing about it,"
The captain cut short his questions
and in another moment l understood
why. A gentleman was standing in
the doorway, whose face, once seen,
was enough to stop the words on any
mans lips. Miss Tuttle saw this gen.
tleman almost as quickly as we did

When he moved and came to where
she lay and caught his first sight Of
the ribbon and the pistol attached to
it, the most experienced among us were
baffied as to the nature Of his feelings
and thoughts. One thing alone was
patent to all. He had no wish to
touch this woman whom he had SO
lately sworn to cherish. His eyes de-
voured her, he shuddered and strove
several times to speak, and, though
kneeling by her side, he did not reach

Suddenly he leaped to his feet.
"Must she stay here?" he demanded,

The captain answered by question:
"How do you account for her being
here at all? What explanation have
you, as her husband, to give for this
strange suicide Of your wife?"
For reply, Mr.. Jeffrey, who was an
exceptionally handsome man, drew
forth small slip Of crumpled paper,

From any point within 300 miles OF

Commander at Port Arthur Issues Or.
der to Troops.

Port Arthur, Friday, May 6.--lieu-
tenant General Stoessel has issued al
order to the troops OF his command as
fellows.
''On April 80 and May ] the enemy
crossed the Yalu river in great force
and our troops fell back to positions
which had been previously selected.
Yesterday the enemy effected an
important landing on the Liaotuns
peninsula, south of Pitsewo, and in the
vicinity of kinchau bay. Now our
work is beginning. Naturally the en-
emy will destroy railway eommunca-
tion and endeavor to drive our Il oops
back to Port Arthur and besiege this
iortress, Russia's bulwark in the Far
East We will defend ii until the ar
rival Of the troops which are coming
to relieve us.
Il consider it my duty to call upon
you to display unceasing vigilance
and caution and you must be ready at
all times to demean yourselves to-
wards your general with the dignity
and order becoming the glorious troops
of Russia. No matter what happens
you must not lose your heads, but re-
member that everything is possible in
war and that we shall be able, with
Gods help, to cope with the arduous
task imposed upon us.

IS STRONGLY FORTIFIED
RUSSIANS DO NOT BELIEVE JAP
ANESE CAN CAPTURE
PORT ARTHUR.

st. Petersburg, May 9.-The calm
ness with which the Russians accept
the isolation of what always has been
regarded as the Russian Gibraltar in
the Far East Is remarkable. In mill
tary circles it had been considered in
eyitable from the first. No attempt
is made to belittle the energy shown
by the enemy, but from the strategic
point OF view the investment OF the
fortress is regarded as relieving the
military situation on the mainland,
which had been much embarrassed
by the necessity for maintaining the
seagirt stronghold at the extremity of
the Liaotung peninsula. Besides the
utmost confidence is expressed in the
ability of the fortress to withstand a
siege. The whole of the lower end of
the peninsula, Trom kinchau, tnirty
miles above Port Arthur, south, is an
entrenched camp commanded by a
chain of most formidable fortifications,
which surmount the crest OF every hill.
Millions OF roubles and years of work
have been devoted TO rendering the
place impregnable by land or sea. The
railroad circulating within this camp
will permit OF the easy transportation
OF the defending troops.
According to the Russian view the
Japanese have herculean task before
them In the event of their attempting
the reduction of the fortress.
Successive Lines of Defenses
must be carried and the Japanese op-
erations cannot begin at the advanced
position, kinchau, until their siege
guns are landed. General Stoessel,
who will have supreme command of
the defense of Port Arthur, is consid-
cred to be able and resourceful and to
have an indomitable will. His orders
of the day have breathed a spirit Of
unyielding defiance. One Of them de-
clared that the last man must die in
the defense of Port Arthur. The lat
est newspaper dispatches from the be
leaguered fortress contained an ac-
count of a stirring appeal made by
General StoeSsel to his troops on the
occasion of the review in honor of the
empress name day, in which he an
nounced that he would never surren-
der
In addition to the 10000 sailors on
board the ships at Port Arthur and
the regular fortress artillery, probably
numbering 1000 men, the defending
force consists of division OF rifiemen
and three batteries of field artillery,
q total of about 22000 men.
In anticipation of the severance of
communication all the valuable public
documents had been removed to Muk-
den and the work of supplying the
fortress with provisions and ammuni-
tion had been progressing for weeks.
The authorities apparently are salts
fed that practically no noncombatants
remain there. The inhabitants of Port
Dalny were sent away some time ago.
