 She flung herself at his feet with a wall. "Ah, but no," she sobbed, II do love you so deariy-I will die if you love me not"
 George drew himself roughly away, and taking her by the hands placed her In 8 chair, where she hid her face and sobbed.

CHAPTER VIII.

I@@ OLA VELEZ was the rage for TEE season She sprang into < @ fame in single night and
 thenceforth held an undisput- ed position as the fnvorite of the Lon don public She was not exceptional ly handsome, nor was her dancing dis finguished by any special grace, but about her there was something weird and original which appealed to her audience. George Brendon had been dnstrumental in introducing her to the public, and she owed her position as much to his Kindness as to her own genius.
 It was snowy winters night when Brendon found her. He had just en- tered Pembroke square, where he had lodgings. when he heard a moan. Turn ing aside into the shadow of wall, he found a, woman lying there exhausted with cold and hunger. Always anxious Eo do good, he brought the poor crea- -..szre to his rooms. Under the influence of food and wine and warmth she re- yived sufficiently to tell her story.
 Her name, she stated, was Lola r elez. She was Spanish by birth, but hnd lived many years in Italy. Trained as dancer, she had appeared at several of the best theaters with more or less success, but owing to her violent temper she had lost all chance of gaining permanent position. She had danced her way to Paris through various small towns, but here as else where, her temper proved her ruin. Then she had crossed the channel only to find that the market was over stocked with dancers. Unable to ob- ! tain employment and having very lit Afle money, the unfortunate woman had nlien lower and lower until she was luced to begging In the streets. Ti-
 v she was turned out of her poor
 ngs and had expended her last

 No, now George took her arms from his neck and spoke more soberly. Lola, hold your tongue about what you have told me, and I'll see you again. If you speak. see you no more."

The missionaries are ayerse to leaw ing Pingyang and are not likely to ac- cept the offer of United States Minis ter Allen to allow refugees to go aboard the United States cruiser Cin- cinnati, as they believe they will be. able to escape later should the situa- tion become acute.
 The advance of the Japanese outposts from Pingyang to Anju is reported from Seoul. This seems to be the main line of advance toward the Yalu, and there are fresh combinations of landing of troops at Possiet bay and heavy re- achievements of the garrison at Won san. Some of the shrewdest military men predict the concentration of Japa- nese right wing on the upper Yalu from Wonsaln and other points on the coast and rapid march across the country to Mukden.
 A Tokyo report says an Austrian steamer has brought the news that the Russian cruiser squadron had left Vlad- ivostok. It was supposed to be cruis- ing in northern waters.

It is thawing inland, and the roads arc almost impossible, but the waterways are greatly helping the transportation arrangements.

Tho Hon John Sharp Williams floor leader of the democracy In the house of representatives, has 1nIo- duced d bill for the relief of the suI- ferers by fire at Baltimore by repate of duties on building material ana suspension of certain internal revenue taxes, By so doing he has again put the republicans in hole, soaped the sides and pulled up the ladder. II they refuse to pass the measure they will go up against precedent esfao- lished when the Chicago fire occurred in 1871 and thereby rob many honest men who have been unfortunate II they do pass it they will admit the democratic contention that the tarlff is a tax and that the tax is paid by the consumers of the country and not by the foreigners. as maintained by them.

 They are having much sport at the department Of state over an inelastic provision of law which requires that department to compile and Issue in a separate volume the statutes enacted at each session, of congress. says a Washington writer. The special ses- sion of last November enacted only one measure, joint resolution pro viding for the payment of naileagesto the members. This is bound up, HOW ever, in a dignified little volume by itself with as much elaboration as if it were collection of budget bills and general Legislation. That simply is straw that shows what the re- publican administration will do when it makes up its mind to get busy on any old subject .. It. calls an extra session of the congress and has 1t in session for a month without a single result. Not one thing of benefit to the people and at cost to them of over two hundred thousand dollars. That is the way the party in power conserves the interests of the people.

 At once investigated. The fire-f1ies were wolves eyes. The wolves were es- corting me home. says a writer in Coun- try Life in America.

 However, before selecting my tree, I kicked off my snowshoes and began to feel for the trail with my moccasined feet. To my delight, discovered that by keeping every nerve on the stretch could just distinguish the difference in consistency between the virgin snow and that trodden by the. snowshoes.i The difference was faint, but it existed With infinite caution applied myself to the task of following the trail. A dozen times I stopped for five minutes to rest my nerves. Perhaps dozen times more wandered, but always managed to find my way back. It took me three hours to cover the remaining mile, and half: but I>did it and at last had the eatisfac- | ton of topping the little hill that lay above Camp Thirty-seyen.

Russian military authorities assert that an army of six hundred thousand can be sent to Korea if such a force is needed to conquer the Japanese, says an exchange Time, then, is an important factor in the military prob lem Japan has to face. Up to the present. so far as is known, no seri- ous attempt has been made by the Japanese to attack the Russian army. All their energies have been devoted to the task of capturing Port Arthur, which, it is said, is capable of with standing a siege for eight months
 We have no definite Knowledge of what the Japanese have accomplished by their frequent attacks upon this Russian stronghold. The news we receive comes from Eunglish sources
 which is another way of saying that 1t Is intensely anti-Russian. If the Japanese cannot hold their own on land their initial naval successes vil1 De, of little benefit to them. The question. is, can they withstand the impact of Russia's powerful fighting machine? The general opinion is that they will not be able to do. so

That football players should join the force would not be a matter of comment, save as an illustration of the dramatic fitness of things. But Just why a good man with the sculls or the sweep should make an excen- tionally handy man with a nightsticlS is bit of puzzle. But here are the facts: Joseph H. Whitehead, former. ly the champion amateur sculler of the United States, and George HI. Greer brother of the present amateur champion have, just been appointed reserve officers by the Boston police commissioners. Whitehead won the sculling honors at Saratoga in 1895. but was defeated the same year by Edward H. Ten Eyck in a match race. In 1896 Whitehead lost the national championship to "Joe'' Mcclure and McGuire is now a member of the Bos- ton police force.

Watson, well known historian and lecturer and former Populist candidate for vice president, in public card has stated that certain newspapers which published the letter of former Presi- dent Cleveland denying that 0.

Watson says: Tt might not be fair to recall instances where negro represent atives dined at the White House at state dinners, but it is perfectly fair to remind MT. Cleveland of Fred Doug lass.

STEAL EACH OTHERS TRICKS.
Magicians Are Clever, But They Are Not Sharp Enough to Prevent
 the Thefts.

'fWe are always on the alert said a local dealer in magicians' supplies states the New York Sun, Ito introduce something new in the way of tricks and novelties. But it is hard to get up any thing novel,
 The death of Beautier De Kolta, the French magician, removed one of the greatest prestidigitators, in my opinion, in the world, not even barring the late Alexander HeTrmann or Kellar. De Kolta invented more original tricks than any other magician.
 "Yet he never got the full credit due him because of his belief in the hon. esty of human nature. De Kolta never patented any of his tricks. It would not have done him any good if he had, be- cause no matter what means are taken to protect tricks, there is no redress if some one comes along and steals them. The least bit of improv ement makes the person sor persons who steal them inl- munes from any prosecution. sS as 5: De Kolta was very ingenious, and had he lived he might have given the world one of the greatest tricks it has ever known De Kolta's best trick was the flying bird-cage which gave him a wide reputation.
 Holding an ordinary cage in his hand with a live bird in it he made bird, cage and all disappear before your very eyes. It was great deception and was always certainsto makeas hit when produced. De Kolta. sold the trick to Kellar. Y ( ssAnother of De Kolta' $ inventions was to produce 5000 artificial flowers from an empty piece of paper in the shape ot a cone. De Kolta said that the principle of this trick was not palming, although he could palm 800 flowers, which is con- sidered a great feat.
 ''The cocoon is another trick that De Kolta originated. He took an ordinary wooden frame and placed piece of white paper on it. On the paper he drew a picture of a silkworm After he had completed the picture the paper would break and a silk cocoon appeared.
 Gradually the cocoon opened and g young woman stepped out, upon the stage. This was another great trick, but the idea of it was stolen and soon several other magicians introduced it. "Ths vanishing lady was also De Kol- ta's idea. A woman, usually his wife sat on chair in full view of the au- dience and disappeared. This trick also was stolen, and De Kolta was almost heartbroken.
 "A good illusion costs lot of money Some magicians are willing to pay as high as $3,000 for one.
 ''T receive letters from persons every day who say that they have invented new tricks. Of course, answer all of them and when receive reply learn thai they are simply old ideas with the princi- pie reversed. Of course, they don't amount to anything and are never

A large force of cavalry is expected to return to Newchwang before the river opens for the purpose of maintain ing patrols between the main railway and the sea and of reconnoitering the coast
 Russian private letters disclose the fact that in the recent enga gements between the Yalu river and Pingyang the Russians, with superior numbers, defeated the Japanese, but lost heavily.
 Refugees arriving here say that Port Arthur has not been attacked since Feb. 26, but that stores and ammuni- ton are still arriving. Work on the mud dock in which it is expected to repair the battleship Cesarevitch has been abandoned for the past three days, the foreign engineer, being un. able to raise the Retvizan, quitting Port Arthur, together with the only other Anglo-saxon there.
 That considerable damage within the Notifications has been caused by the Japanese fire from Pigeon bay is cor roborated, and the defenses on that side are being strengthened by barbed wire entanglements and additional ar. tillery.
 Cossack scouts report that a Japa- nese column from Plaksin bay on ar irving in the snow blocked defile of the mountains separating Korea from Manchuria was forced to halt owing to avalanches and other obstacles.
