Then he stretched out his right leg and felt about in the shadow until finally his foot hit the first projection. He breathed prayer and prepared to descend. He was glad the angle was tn the shadow. He could not see what was beneath him. The black cliffs u1- der his feet hid their terrors from him. He intended to try it with his face outward, his back in the angle, his hands and feet outstretched, clutching at or feeling for every inequality. He was about to let go. Another moment and he had gone, when he felt a familiar little hand laid upon his arm.
 Come back, come back, you will be killed!" whispered a small frightened voice. He was so startled in spite of the. quietness of her address that he nearly lost his hold and fell. He re- covered himself, however, by a pro- digious effort, and aided by the girls nervous, clinging hands he drew him. self up slowly, and swinging his legs back over the coping landed once more on the solid floor of the balcony. The idea of disregarding her, summons did not once occur to him.
 Were you doing this for me?'' asked the girl innocently, still clinging to him as if afraid to release him.
 'MadAmoiselle Anne!" he. cried in great surprise and annoyance, ''why are you here?" He was trembling vio- lently from his exertions and the tense emotions of the past. few moments
 Why not, Sir Philip? You are here yourself, you see" she answered un- suspiciously, approaching him and lay ing an innocent hand on his arm and looking steadily at him.
 E'Yes, but I--come into the tower D he said drawing her back through the window into the room. How her eyes gleamed in the moonlight!

HOUSING POOR GERMANS.
Various Cities Erect Night Asylums in Which 500 Societies Are
 Interested.

The report of the Verein Reichs-Woh- nungsgesets for 1903 and the first part Df 1904 has just appeared, giving a sum-
 mary of the efforts that are being made to provide suitable homes for the poorer workingmen of the German empire. The work that is being done in this di- rection in many German cities, such as Berlin, Ulm, Munich and others, has been described at length in Public Opinion, but the report of the society mentioned above gives a brief bifd's- eye view of the whole situation There are in Germany 500 societies formed for. the poor. In the last years numerous associations of employees have been formed, the one in Berlin, for example. numbering 8, 400 members, and having 531 houses constructed and 418 in course of construction Societies are also be- ing formed for the puprose of erecting colony housesg among which the most important is the one. at Neidenburg in Prussia The insurance companies7to a large extent provide the funds for the building operations. Various communi
 ties have constructed houses either for workmen in general or for the employees of the city, but this plan does not seem to have been sufficiently developed or to be reconcilable with individual ini- tiative. Many night asylums for the poor have been erected by various cities Frankfort-on- the Main is build ing home for widows and orphans, and many cities are planning for the erec- tfon of habitations uncommon.
 Tn many cases the land on which the homes are built is public property, the surface rights having been ceded to the building associations. Such use is made of certain crown lands of Prus- sia by the Berlin union of employees and of imperial lands at Wilhelmshaven, where garden city has, been erected. The municipalities of dharlottenburg and Frankfort have granted similar priv iIiges. The amount of public land avail able for this purpose has been increased in many cities by the levying of 8 direct l tax. the proceeds of which are to be de- voted to the purchase of land. Tn some places a tax has been levied on the un- earned increment The general ques- ton of legislation for workingmen's s dwellings Is beingagitated by the Yerein ReichsW Wahnungsgesets. |

lhe ebbing tide to bear him far out to sea.
 Yet he must needs go on But as he made ready to descend, his thoughts suddenly went back to the little girl who had been his playmate during the past few weeks. He had almost forgotten her for the moment. Was he recreant knight thereby? His conscience reproached him. Strange as 1t may seem, he felt pang of re- gret when he realized that once he stepped over the balcony wall and es- sayed the descent he should be parted from her forever. Inadeath orsin fiber ty they would be equally separated. The little Rose. of Rohans---to see her no more! The thought gave him a peculiar feeling. He paused, reluctant. He was surprised at himself.
 The little maiden with her mingling of childish innocence and womanly charm had grown very dear to him, and the joy he anticipated in soon regaining his liberty was sadly dtmmed by the certain sadness of that inevita- ble parting. Yet the feeling was not strong enough to deter him-then. It was deep enough, however, to give him pause. He fingered, thinking swiftly. It was duty that turned. the scale-duty and love are antagonists of old.
 He had learned something about the French fleet in Brest and the location of the defenses in the harbor in his rapid ride through the town when he came to the chateau. and from his frequent although apparently cursory examinations of the position from the towers and walls he had learned more. His information would be of great value. He was an of1cer of the king, and when the possibility of escape pre- sented itself, at all hazards he must make an effort to reach the ships The marquis had spoken once or twice about exchange, but nothing had yet come from it and such matters were slow at best.
 As 1t seemed more feasible, as the possibility approached nearer, bis de- sire grew. The detaining image of the French girl grew fainter.

 .Yes, yes, to-morrow!" he cried after her, as she shook her head sadly and disappeared.

'Tis time to get out of here Such a thing is preposterous- and impossible at best"
 And yet he had lived long enough to know that it is always the impos- sible that happens when hearts are under consideration. Fortunately it was only the next morning that the marquis came home with the welcome tidings for Grafton -or were they unwelcome after all ?-- l that he was exchanged, that he was free to go that instant if he would.
 T am glad, Sir Philip said Anne, weeping as she bade him goodbye alone in the tower-room, '.that you didn't run away last night. You will be my knight in earnest and come back to me some day? You promise me?''

THE END OF THE PLAY.


 THE END OF THE PLAY.
 HAT night he determined to
 put in practice the attempt
 to escape, the first definite
 possibility of which had come to him that afternoon. Indeed, it had grown upon him with each passing moment. He lay awake for hours after Inc had retired and Anatole had been dismissed, waiting until the people In the chateau, except the guards at the gate and the watchmen on the walls, had all gone to sleep. And for a true knight his thoughts at least were re- creant, since he dreamed not of the Lady Anne but of freedom.
 Toward midnight he arose. dressed himself quickly, and softly stole through the deserted halls until he came to the unoccupied chamber in the round tower No especial watch was kept upon him, no guards were stationed upon the tower and but few 4on the seaward side of the chateau. Moving circumspectly he had met no one nor had he attracted the atten- ton of any sleeper.
 He stepped quickly through the great room to the oriel. He stood for 9 moment on the balcony looking out to sea It was bright moonlight night. Away on the horizon twinkIed the faint yellow light of the English ships. Far below him in the shadow of the eliffs the waves were breaking in sul- len splashfng upon the splintered shore. He could hear the rhythmical persistent beat of their tireless assault upon the rocks, see, the white water, shot with phosphorescent sparks, churned, into foam over the reefs at the foot of the cliffs.
 He hesitated as he surveyed the scene; although his purpose was un- changed, he realized as he had not before. that his undertaking was fraught with the greatest danger.

MIRA telegram from Viceroy

Nat a quarter before 3 in the
nj rning of Feb. D, numerous Japa-
nese torpedo boats attempted to at
tacks%he battleship Retvizan and
sink large steamers loaded with in
fiammables. The Retvizan was
the first to observe the torpedo
boats and open stong fire on then.
She was supported by the land bat
teries. She destroyed two steam
ers near the entrance of the harbor.
They were coming directly towards
her. One of them went on the rocks
near the lighthouse on Tiger PENN
sula and the other sank under
Golden Hill. The RetviZan oh.
served four steamers in a sinking
condition and eight torpedo boats
departing slowly to rejoin the wait
ing japanese warshIps. A portion
of the crews OF the japanese vessels
was drowned. The grounded
steamer is still burning. The enc
my is observed in the offing off
Port Arthur in two lines.
The japanese crews saved them
selves in boats and it is possible
that some of them were picked up
by the enemy's torpedo boats.
