had taken advantage Of his n act Of
carelessness, in leaving the box I'M
locked, to pry into its contents and
carry of the most compromising
article OF all.
Well, the damage was done, and
could not be repaired. The only thing
now, was to try and stave of the dis
coyery Of the double part he had
been playing a little while longer.
After a time he rose from his grow
cling attitude with his mind fully
made up. There was only one course
TO pursue, and he would pursue it.
He must appear totally ignorant OF
the theft, and receive every %allusion or
i%nsinuation with IN affected utter lack

what she might, let her act and talk
as she would, he must keep up the
delusion and try to battle her for at

seemed inclined to show her teeth-if
she appeared disposed to be danger

A little later in the day, as he was
absently staring on Of a window in
the hall, he heard a faint, rustling
sound, and. looking up, saw Miss Fer
rers descending the staircase. He
allowed his eyes to rest upon her for
an instant, telling himself that his OPP
%portunities for doing so would soon
be at an end now.
She must have felt his glance. for
a certain air of embarrassment seem
ed TO fall upon her, and the color rose
in her face.
Then she gave herself an impatient
twitch, as though she said to herself,
Stand upon your dignity and do not
allow the impertinent gaze OF a mere
mental to d~iscompose yOu!'
The Young man who had picked up
my catalogue at the Royal Academy!
One of the effects of the twitch was,
that It caused her to drop a magazine
which she was carrying, just as her
foot was upon the last step.
Before she could stoop to reclaim

hall, on the part OF the mental in

The Russian newspapers in general
chorus denounced the action OF Japan
as being treachery, declaring that 1t
Is truly Asiatic, but insisting that
the issue of the conflict will not be de-
cided by the naval engagements, as
the Japanese will have to meet Russia
on dry land, when the score will be
wiped out.
The Novoe Vremya says It Is quite
possible that the whole of COrea has
been overrun by Japanese soldiers in
disguise. and that Russia may first
have to assume the defensive, but
when her forces in southern Man
churia and COrea are increased the
Japanese will realize what they have
to meet.

branch Of steamer fittings. A Du.

In future the Diamond 10 liners,

cies OF life preservers, which by rea'
son OF the fact that its broyant sub
stance Is not cork but soft, cotton

q distinct innovation.
A number Of samples OF the new
Kapoc life preservers. as they are
called. have been received by Captain
Knapp, Of the government steamboat
inspection bureau at Dubuque. They
are about the same size as the cork
preseryers and are adjusted In the
same manner, but are much more
convenient to handle. both In time OF
need and for storage.
The government gave the preserv-
ers thorough inspection and pro
nounced them superior to cork pre-
servers. The new life preservers
weigh two pounds each and are cap
able ,-of floating "a pounds or iron,
which is a very. good test, Captain

having passed the steamer between

Much concern was felt here regard

their home on the steamer, have
many friends in Cairo.
