CHAPTER XVII.
MAX IS MADE D~EspERATE.

Max had been in town some weeks
and was feeling very much pleased
with himself. He had already met a
couple Of old college friends, who in the
plentiful leisure allowed by their stud
les for the bar, were not averse to hands
had made himself pleasant to his fellow
tudent at the hospital in whose COM
pany he enjoyed himself; so that he
was far from feeling lonely, or allowing
his thoughts to dwell persistently on
the inmates of Knowlesworth hall.
He was particularly ~llght-hearted
and dissatisfied one afternoon when,
having left the hospital, he crossed
Westminster bridge and took his way
through st. James's park with the in
tention Of calling on a friend.
With the red light shining in his
eyes, Max scarcely recognized a famil-
lar figure coming toward him, until it
means Of escape he would have taken

ence Of mind he hurried forward with
outstretched hand to meet Lord Sur
reymore.

cesslve frlendliness, II have been Won
dering II you had come back to town,
or when I should see you, and here you
are. Funny isn't it?"
I have been thinking Of you," Sur
reymore replied. with a GOODNESS that
sharply contrasted the others elusive
ness.

German Army Abuses Again.
The case against Corporal Peschel.
who some time ago was found guilty
and sentenced to prison on 316 COM
plants of abusing private soldiers, has
had an epilogue.
One of the soldiers. a private named
Fuchs, who had been most brutally
treated by Peschel, was n of the chief
witnesses against the corporal.
On the advice of his father Fuchs had
kept a complete diary of all that hap
pened in the regiment. He had filled
five volumes With the daily notes.
which he had given the title Of
Private Artillerist." When
his diary was seized by his superior
officers it was the evident sincerity and
frankness of these notes which more
tina anything else served to convict the
corporal.
But the other day Fuchs himself ap-
peared as accused before a court-
martial charged With having used dis
respectful language o his officers in
his diary.
With a courage that has won for
him the admiration of every justice
loving man in Germany, he declared
that he needed no attorney, as he was
able to defend himself.
When he stood up to make his plea
to court and jury q scene followed
court.
In mastery speech which made a
strong impression even upon the stern
Judge, he said: Those memoirs which
you have contiscated / wrote for that
very purpose, that they might put an
end to these abominable abuses which
I have witnessed and under which I
have suffered, that those who are called
to serve under the colors after me
might not have to suffer as I have
suffered. If this is a crime, then I
am indeed guilty and ask YOU to con
denim me-"
The court martial did not dare to do
SO and Fuchs was acquitted.

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE RESrTT

The first person to reach the scene
of the tragedy was Urbano, the counts
valet, who While dressing his master
had accidentally looked through the
WINDOW just at the instant when Max
had turned the revolver against his
breast. Without waiting to say q word
he had lushed from the house into the
grounds and knelt beside Max, who was
apparently lifeiess. a dark red ever-in-
creasing stain showing where the
blood welied from his self-inficted
wound. Urbano's frantic haste, the I'M
ineligible phrases muttered in his
w language, n his wild gestures
startled theb butler n a couple of foot
men as he tore past them, and who
him to have gone mad. When, how
ever, they saw the two figures lying in
sensible on the ground they began to
understand and to share the Wallets
terror.
What has happened?" the butler
asked, bewildered by the sight which
shook him out of his usual placid de-
meanor and left him wild-eyed with
horror.
a accident" Urbano hurriedly
explained. Il saw it from the window.
Send for a doctor, quick, quick, before
it's too late" he cried out, wringing his
hands.
one OF tne footlnen ran toward the
stables that he might dispatch a groom
in all haste for the doctor.
B u Miss Cowley," said the butler,
seeing that Urbano took no notice of
her. rs she wounded, too?"
NO, no." the valet almost snapped,
she has only tainted"
The butler, not knowing what else
to do, was about to lift his young mis-
tress up, when he caught sight Of Lady
BySShe running diStractedlv from the
house, followed by a couple Of fright
ened servants, for the news had al
ready spread indoors.
What's this? My God, what is this?"
she asked, as with a horror stricken
face she caught sight of the PROSTATE
igureS.

STRANGE APPEAL TO GOV. ODELl
Murderer Asks Him to Prevent DELAY
OF Execution.

Albany, n. Y. March 17.-Govornor
OGei has received a most extraordi-
may letter from a man condemned to
Oeath for murder. requesting the inter
Eanfion CT the executive to prevent
attempt to delay the execution.
The writer is Frank H. Burns,
sailor, convicted in Brooklyn of the
murder of George B. Townsend, the
captain of his vessel. He is con
fined in Sing Sng prison, and was to
have been executed February 8, but
the execution was stayed by an
peal tc the court of appeals, taken by
his attorneys without the consent OF
the condemned man.
The latter says, in substance, that
the writer believes himself deserving
of the death penalty which he wants
inflicted with all speed possible. He
declares he does not want new
trial, as he has a violent temper, which
he is unable to control, and probably
would commit other crimes.
The governor will take no action in
the matter.

TORTURE GERMAN SETTLERS.
Thirteen Killed Outright and Flesh
Mailed to Doors by Africans

Berlin, March 17.-Letters from
German Southwest Africa have arriv-
ed here giving details sf the CHASTITY
treatment of German settlers, thirteen
o. whom were killed outright Or tor
tuled to death in the district of Okla
handja alone. Women outraged and
Gismembered, and with pieces of their
bodies nailed to the doors of houses,
and boys mutiated and left to die
slowly were frequent spetacles. The
cXpeditionafy columns, on coming in
sight Of a farmers house, would see
the heads OF its former occupants
fastened to the roof.
The sights appear to have excited
the rage of the soldiers The latter
express longings fer revenge, and
determination, as one writer says, to
kill everything black
That causes some papers to urge
the government to telegraph lnstruc-
tions TO Col. Leutwein, the governor
of German Southwest Africa. that he
order the soldiers to restrain them
selves and conduct the war in a civil
liZed manner.
Col. Leutwein himself was in for
criticism and the Tageblatt intimatas
that he will be recalled.

The students have from three to

Them to return to Russia, as in some

The origin OF the dispute between
the government and the students,
