his neck and whisked him around. and
then a broad toed No. o shoe played
against him and assisted him 10 find

~HERE was a sober, solemn and
sorrowful look on Mr.. Bow
ser's face as he came home to
dinner the other evening, and
Mrs. Bowser had no sooner observed It
than she wondered If he had lost an
other $50 on the races. As that affair
was a rather painful matter between
them. she asked no questions, and all
through dinner there was cause for
wonder.
Mr.. Bowser was mournful, put he
was unusually soft spoken. He was
evidently sorrowing, but at the same
time he stopped down and patted the
cat every time she rubbed against his
legs. Now and then a tear glistened
in his eye. but he did not lose sight OF

A special meeting of the council
Of state, under the presidency of the

and reached conclusions which will
be drafted for submission to the
Cars final approval.
Grand Duke Alexis will draft the
report which, it is believed, will re-
ceive the signatures of the members
of the council and be presented to
the Car tomorrow. 1t is hardly
probable that the reply will be trans
mitted to Japan before January 3Oth.
