A rormavanw chang mnr..

The following remarkable story APP
pears in Mr.. Whigham's 'sManchuria
and Korea "a Cossack in d flt or
drunkenness had shot Chinaman, and
II was necessary to bring several OF
the men to the bedside of the dying
victim for purpose OF Identification Of
the culprit. The Chinaman, however,
refused absolutely to single out the
guilty man, saying. Why should he be
killed, since I must die in any caseY
Then they explained to him that the
man would only be severely punished,
to which the Chinaman responded that
since he forgave the cuiprit there was
no reason why he should suffer. Then
the theory of the punishment was adj
duced as an argument the Cossack
must be punished In order that he
might not repeat the offense. But
said the Chinaman, he viii never do it
again when he knows that forgive
him. and there the matter ended"

All That Hangs over.

Some people seem to be slow to learn
that all OF tree and all the fruit 1t
bears over on another lot belongs to
the man over the line Just as complete
ly as il the tree stood over on his land.
This Is not only statute law OF every
state, but it is just and right. All that
extends over the line, root and top, be-
longs to the man that owns the land.
He may il he chooses cut away ell the
branches that hang over the line. He
may If he chooses cut away all the
roots that extend through on his land.
From time immemorial this has been
the law. All reasonable men can see
the justice Of it. All honest men can
see the import of it and will approve
Of the law.
The foregoing is the law as Nation
al Etockman writer understands 1t.

Belgium Il probably the most demo-
cratic Of all the monarchical states.
The king OF the Belglans not only does
not wear a crown, but has not even
got a crown to wear! No coronation
ceremony is known to the constitution,
the sovereign inaugurating his reign
simply by taking an oath to govern ac-
cording to the laws. Moreover, the
births of his children, If he has any,
must be registered in exactly the
same phraseology and in the same set
of books as the births of his humblest
subjects.

 "The only matter that remains for us to settle" said our self-constituted chairman, Number Two, "is that of our departure from this wagon. We must go at different times and by diff ferent routes; and as Number Two and Number Three are leaving this morn ing, propose that Numbers Four and Five should wait until nightfall, and go by different routes, and that Num- bers Six and Seven should leave to- morrow morning, one travelling by the Tilbury line and the other by the Great Eastern
 This was an arrangement by no means to my liking, as it would give Number Two and Number Three a days start of me, and I had made up my mind to devote my best energies to frustrating their attempt to lay hands upon the dynamite. But, as my colleagues, Number Four, Number Five and Number Six, gave ready assent to the proposal, did not think it wise to demur, though confess it was with no little reluctance that saw Number Two and Number Three depart upon their errand of devilry.

fluence upon you-seems so to stimu- late your faculties and to render you so willing and obliging that should be sorry to deprive you of it's influence. Perhaps you will favor me by opening that paper and holding 1t out before you, so that can read it without hav- ing to remove this little plaything from your forehead. No, wait mo- ment think we'll have bigger tar get this time. If your head were by any chance to jerk aside while I am engaged, might miss you when pull the trigger, and get into trouble with the railway company for damaging the paddings of the carriage. Sit still now. while I shift the popgun."
 So saying, he slowly lowered the re- volver till 1t was between my eyes Then he brought 1t down the bridge ot my nose until it was over my mouth, and could smell burnt powder, and thence he let it travel down my chin and my neck till it was pressing against my breast-bone.
 Just an inch or two to the left" Ee said, suiting the action to the word, and we shall be all right There! now we're snug and comfortable. If you'll kindly open out that paper and hold 1t so that I can read it, I'll be obliged to you"
 did as he told me, but with unwill- ing fingers, for I knew that the sight of 1t would, as I have already said, bring matters to a crisis.
 Nor was I mistaken, for the start which he gave when he set eyes on it was so great that I felt the revolver leap against my chest, and was minded to cry out to him to have a care lest he slipped the trigger.
 My God!" he said, ''this is worse than I looked for. Either that man Number Seven has played us false or else you killed him before you got possession of this"
 As he spoke he bent forward slight ly to assure himself that the document was not a forgery, and thus gave me what knew was my only chance. His fine words about wishing to spare my l life I took no account of, knowing | very well that had he not wished to | discover who was and how came l by the Knowledge possessed, he 1 would have shot me at sight. If by promising me my life he could Induce

felt, now come, so when he bent forward to look more closely at the document, let go of the thing and struck with all my strength at the hand that held the revolver hoping to dash the weapon aside. Had things been as he thought they were, that moment would have been my last, for he had, no doubt, expected some such onslaught, and had made of his- arm a, very bar of iron, so that my blow scarce budged the revolver an inch. At the same moment he pulled the trigger, and, knowing what was com ing, I shut my eyes and waited to feel my life rush out of the hole made by the bullet.
 But, to his and my astonishment, the revolver gave tongue to no more deadly sound than click, and, look ing down, saw, to my amazement and joy, that 1t was my own unloaded re- volver he was holding.
 1 had, no doubt, surprised him by awakening while he was bending over me, and, catching sight of my revolver iIl my pocket. and having no weapon of his own, he had in all probability snatched at 1t. and had presented 1t

Twon't dol" he said, decisively. ssBut come, I'll give you a chance. You say you are Councillor Number Seven. Whats his real name, then?"
 This was a poser which I tried to evade by answering his question with another question:
 Didn't you tell me yourself at the last meeting of the council f'on board the yacht that the names of the differ ent members were kept secret?"
 ESQ that's how the land lies, is it?" he said, with g whistle You were concealed on that yacht, were you? You were brave man and bold one, my friend. to have put your head into that den of lions. It seems a pity to spill such brains as yours for nothing. Let me see if can't find out something about you for myself, since you won't tell me- Put your left hand in the breast-pocket of your coat and take out any papers you have there. But don't forget that the revolver is at your forehead all the time, and at the first sign of disobedience or of anything like hanky- y-panky--snap goes the trigger, and bang goes your life"
 did as he told me, and took from cay pocket the only paper which 1t con- Fained. It happened to be no other than the very document giving notice eg the place and date of the meeting, As attend which was then on my way. As the reader knows, had taken it from the pocket of the dead man whom I was personating, and when I kealized what document it was, knew that the sight of it would bring mat ters to crisis
 As yet, however, Number One had Hot recognized it, for it was folded when took it from my pocket and held 1t out to him.
 No, thank you, my friend" he said, with an ugly smile. Its very kind of you to wish to take me into your confidence In regard to your private papers You have no doubt over looked the trifiing fact that if I took that paper into my hand to open it, my attention would be withdrawn from your agreeable self. Not that you would take any unfair advantage of my pre-occupation, I am sure. But somehow this little bit of cold steel with which am cooling your heated brow seems to have so beneficial in

me to tell him whether what knew was known to others, he would then be aware with whom he had to deal; but if he were in too great haste to make what he called "dead meat" of me, he would have no other oppor- tllnity of obtaining the information he desired.
 But that he would spare me one minute longer than suited his purpose I did not for moment suppose, and I had all along decided that I must wait for my opportunity, and when it came, take it. That opportunity had,
