The gray dawn of winter was creep

and then it was with a strange feeling

himself on the bed and slept the first

The a- succeeding day was Sunday.
Kane had promised to meet Stella at
afternoon service and walk home with
her. This had been their weekly GUS

ly priced this half-hour of sweet inter-
course as they sauntered through the
park. '~$-&~ -. 49,. #. ?ft#
On this, possibly their. last day to-

done before how inexpressibly indis-
pensable she had become, to him. and
yet in that very fact he found strength
for the coming ordeal, for with his GUS
tomary quick decision he meant to get
it over. S'&> p ~ #sa.

knows that Cupples is IN London,
too! NE
But despite his outward nonchal-s
ance Kane was inwardly perturbed at
this chance encounter. That Moses
Plish was in London had probably no
significance. Whatever he might. sus-
.pect, he had no absolute knowledge Of
that dark and bloody episode on the
veldt--no one knew the truth save the
two men implicated and since so
strangely thrown together. And to
only one of>these was the whole truth
known. %:5 =
What was chiefly to be dreaded was
that a new train of ideas might be set
running in Dysart's mind. Kane
feared lest a chance word should put
him on the right scent, for even the
dimmest suspicion would be disas-
trous now! ,s T. \ [ = 7 Es bSSs$& 1875 4 II
However, the two men got through
their luncheon, as per appointment,
and the subsequent 81 return journey
was made without any noticeable
strain or change in their relations.
Nor was the evening spent at Dene-
croft any different from the many
that had preceded it. sRt
All was apparently serene Both Sir
Arthur and Richard were ideal hosts,
and Stella's goodnight kiss was as
sweet and trustful as ever. S&&$aEG @$sa
But the days happenings served to
kindle afresh Kane's uneasy forebod-
ings, and intensified his distaste and
horror at the part he was playing.
The kindness and cordiality with
which he was received at Denecrofr
made his own conduct, past and pres
ent, all the blacker by contrast.
!, That night the question occurred to
him., what if Stella should discover
the truth. after they were married?
She would scorn him with anSunutter-
able scorn-not. for his crime-he
could fancy her forgiving 8that-but
for his deceit and his false pretensss.
That he had loved her and won her
in ignorance of the identity Of his VIC
tim would be no palliation of his after
offense in keeping it secret. With such
nature as hers, in which pride Of
birth was blended with an almost
slavish worship Of truth and honor,
there could be but one outcome: She
would spurn him from her sight!
Again: Suppose Richaru were to
stumble on the truth, and tax him with
his crime? What could he do but
cover like whipped cur?
Rossiter Kane was no common cow
ard, but the mere thought of such a
possibility. caused him the keenest
shrinking and chagrin.
Gradually, out of the turmoil of his
thoughts, the conviction grew and took
shape that his only hope OF happiness
lay in prompt confession and restitu-
tion-not an extorted avowal, butt one
made of his own free will, and while
yet he held the reins in his own con
troll. < .a S

CROSS IN JAPAN
TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF THE So
GETTY ORGANIZED IN 1877.

How Popular Interest In the Work Is
eral Patron-Russia's Society the
Riches In the World.
The Red Cross societies of both ia
pan and Russia are not surpassed by
those Of any other nation, that of the
latter country being the richest In the
world, having at the present time sew
eral million dollars in Its treasure.
While the Japanese society has not so
large a bank account, 1t is amply sup
piled with funds and In point of men,
bership and enthusiasm In the work
easily stands first.
The Red Cross Society of Japan is
the noblest Of the many charitable In
situations that have sprung up In the
land of the mikado since it burst Its
bonds of exclusiveness and opened its
doors to the outer world, and in no
other country have efforts to minimize
the horrors of war met with such un-
paralleled success as among the Japa-
nese.
During the insurrection Of the south
west provinces in 1877 a society hav-
ing for its object the relieving OF the
wounded and sick on the field of bat
tie came into being. 1t adopted the
name Hakuaisha Society of Benevo-
lence). After the rebellion was crush
ed the society decided to form a per-
manent organization and prepare for
similar emergencies. When the impe-
rial government recognized the arti-
cles of the Geneva convention the so
ciety decided to place itself in connec
ton with the international committee
of the Red Cross at Geneva and to en-
ter into fraternal relations with SINH
lar societies throughout the world.
Having done this, the name of the or
~ganization was changed to the Red
Cross Society of Japan.
Since then, fostered and promoted by
imperial favor, the society has grown
to tremendous proportions, the mem
bership now being above 100000. This
Is no doubt due in a great degree to the
example set by the mikado and the
empress of Japan. The reigning fam
lily takes a deep interest In Red Cross
work and contributes literally to the
funds of the society. An imperial
prince is always its honorary presi-
dent, and the empress takes an active
part in its work. She is a frequent
visitor to the headquarters of the So
ciety and to the Red Cross hospital.
Popular interest is further stimulat-
ed by annual gatherings of the mem

wood, held on this thirty-first day OF Marcn,
A. d. 1904, requesting the Council to widen
Atlantic avenue on the SoutheasJerly size
thereof from its present width of fifty feet, TO
a width of seventy feet, and
Whereas, In the judgment of the Council OF
necessary to so widen Atlantic avenue as

bers from every part Of the empire.
These meetings are usually held in n
of the public parks of Tokyo, and the
attendance is seldom less than 100000
Lectures illustrated by magic lantern
pictures are given by medical men and
attract much attention.
The headquarters Of the society are
In Tokyo and consist Of a number Of
buildings containing the administra-
tive offices, storerooms and various 9TH
err departments. The amount of hos
pital supplies kept at headquarters Is
enormous. Within a day or two the
Japanese Red Cross society can load a
hospital ship or railroad train without
the least confusion. Surgeons and
nurses are ready at all times, and the
arrangement of the hospital stores Is
80 systematic that they can be moved
at an hours notice. The surgeons and
nurses are under military rule and
work with military precision. Two hos
pital ships owned by the society, the
Hakuai Maru and Kosai Maru, were
especially constructed for the care OF
the sick and wounded.
The Red Cross hospital In Tokyo Is
the finest In the city. 1t Is In this hos
pital that the Red Cross female nurses
receive their training. 1t has a capaci-
ty Of $50 beds, and its staff is COM
posed Of the best physicians and sur
geons in Tokyo. The nurses receive
the most practical kind of instruction
through lectures and demonstrations
given by members of the STAFF. They
serve an apprenticeship of three years
and on passing a rigorous examination
receive credentials which permit them
to enter private practice and In the
case of war to enter the field service
under military rule.
Haruko, empress of japan and spe-
cial patron of the Red Cross society,
was a princess Of the house of IchiJo,
one of the five ancient families de-
scended from the Fujiwara clan, from
which the emperors always selected
their wives. She was married to the
emperor in 1867, the year after his
coronation. The five children of the
emperor, one son and four daughters,
have all been brought up according to
western ideas.

For redress.

Has decreed
That we must get along without the cir

Where are the police?

With band and open cage and clown.
Is never more to come down
The pike.
h human race would be justified in GO
ing on a strike,
Refusing to pay a cent
For admission to the big tent
Until this cruel order Is disobeyed
And they give us once more with all its
blare and bands and banners our be-
loved circus parade.
