The bushes at the top of the steep

the family worn path, landing with a
light spring on the narrow strip Of peb-

ton she seized the PROV of the little
steel boat. gave a vigorous push, a
practiced leap and stood polling swiftly
over the shadows with one oar The
blue line of deep water reached, she
dropped into the scat and rowed with
long, strong strokes. Half across the
arm of the lake, that lay between the
mainland and the little island toward
which she was pulling, she rested on
her oars.

BIG BATTLE MA Y
NOW BE RAGING
lcontlnu.a Erom FIrst 40

St Petersburg. Nov. Everything
indicates that both the Japanese and
the Russian armies south of Mukden
are ready for a resumption of hostii-
ties. if indeed fighting has not already
begun. General KuropatlSin reports
that the Japanese have received rein
forcements from the south and Feng
Wang cheng Their concentration
seems to have been accomplished. and
they are ready to resume the offensive,
both east and west Of the railroad.
There Is no Official estimate OF the
strength of the Japanese reinforce
ments, but correspondents place it at
from 10000 to 10000. It is believed
that the Japanese force has been very
largely augmented both from Port Ar
thur where an engineering siege has
been begun. and Japan, from where II
is understood every available man is
being drafted. Il seems to be assured
that the Japanese will be able 10 meet
General Kuropatkin on almost, II not
quite. an equal numerical footing. The
mere fact that they are again threat
ening a double thanking movement in
dicates Field Marshal Oyama's conf
dence in the suffciency Of the force
at his disposal
II is believed here that the second
battle on the Shakhe river will prove
as much bigger and more serious than
the first as the first was more serious
than the battle of Lao Yang. General
Kuropatkin is confronted by an ex.
ceedingly difficult problem. He is pitted
against a Japanese force stronger,
even despite its recent losses, than the
first opposing his southern advance. II
Kuropatlxin now succeeds IN checking
or even breaking the Japanese forma-
tion IL will open large possibility for
the brief remainder of the present
years campaign. On the other hand. a
Russian reverse now would render the
position exceedingly critical.
Dispatches indicate the resumption
of fighting on both extremities of the
Russian front The night of October 30
the Japanese attacked the Russian en-
trenchments east of Sinchinpu. but
were repulsed, though the lombard
ment continued throughout the night.
A Japanese advance has also begun
against the Russian positions at Tun-
canon, a mile and a half north OF
Bentsiaputze, where they encountered
a heavy Russian fire.
Thus Il appears that the Japanese
are becoming aggressive along the
whole front, from Bentsiaputze on the
extreme east. TO Sinchinpu. which is
west Of the Shakhe river, where that
stream bends south after crossing the
railroad. This probably constitutes the
extreme Russian west, making the
hattle front about the same as when
General Kuropatldn began his south
ern movement
The latest reports from Port Ar
thur are by no means encouraging
General Stosssel is making a good de
fense. but the Japanese are approach

The result of the fighting is not yet
known
This assault. like the previous one,
was n climacteric incident of wcsry
weeks Of trench digging, gun mounting
and small engagements. In the opin-
ion of experts. the assault will cease
when the Japanese have secured such
positions as will enable them to creep
steadily closer. under the noses of the
Russian guns. II is believed that two
more general assaults will be neces-
sary before the distance between the
beligerent lines is sufficiently short

main forts and make the end of the
siege practicable.

Raillery is the finest part of conversa-

this, and turned it all into what is
generally called repartee, or being

the laugh on his side and then carrying

whom we borrow the word, have a
quite different idea of the thing. and
so had we in the politer age Of our
fathers. Raillery was to say some
thing that at first appeared a reproach
or reelection, but by some turn Of wit,
unexpected and surprising, ended al
ways in a compliment and to the ad-
vantage of the person it was addressed
to. And surely one Of the best rules
in conversation is never TO say a thing
