stood beside them on 4 raised plat

STAYING CAPACITY OF JAPAN.
Comparisons Show Island Empire Can
Make Long FIGHT.

Comparisons Show Island Empire Can
Make Long Fight.
The London Statist makes some in
teresting comparisons. In 1893 the
population of Great Britain and Ire
land was between fifteen and sixteen
millions. That of Japan to-day is be-
tween forty.five and fifty millions. In
1894 the exports from the United King
dom aggregated $S0,000,O00. Those
of Japan IN 1902 were valued at $127,'
100000 In 1893 the national debt
Of Great Britain was $1,300,00O, 1000.
In 1903 that of Japan was about $780,
000, 900.
The war between England and Ma
poleon lasted for about twenty-five
years. At the beginning England had
numerous allies, but one by one they
we're conquered by Napoleon, and for
time she stood alone. During the
conflict she maintained in arms, in
Guiding the auxiliary forces and the
navy, about a million men. SO heavy
were her expenses that she ran up q
debt of over $3,0O0,000.000.
The question is: II England, with
smaller population and trade than
Japan has, was able to keep up the
fight against such an adversary as
Napoleon for twenty-five years, how
long should Japan be able to stand
the cost Of a war with Russia? Eng.
land had the command Of the sea
She could send her manufactures to
all ports that we're open TO them. ia
pan has the command Of the sea at
this time, and her considerable trade
cannot be interfered with. She has
a powerful mercantile marine. varied
manufactures, and considerable min.
eral wealth. Four years ago her fac.
tories employed over $4,000 work
people.
The Beers, being stubborn people,
held out against overwhelming odds
for two and a half years. The Eng.
llsh, being equally stubborn and un.
yielding, fought Napoleon to the end.
II the japanese share the staying
power OF Boer and Briton, for how
many years ought they to be able and
willing to carry on war unmindful
Of increasing taxation and a growing
debt?

CHAPTER EIeHT-contInued.

OflfNT
When the launch approached, Ar
Chur Morris was seen in the bow.
There were several richly dressed
young women in the party. John Burt
saw at a glance that Morris and some
of his companions were under the in
fuence of liquor. Jessie guessed as
much, and her suspicious became a
certainty when Morris stepped I'm
steadily to the landing and came
toward her, a vacant smile mantling
his face.
"A thousand pardons, Miss Garden"
he said, his voice husky and his body
very erect, but wavering. "a thou
sand pardons! Detention unavoidable,
assure you-un'void' detention, as
sure you! Sail right, though; sail
right now. Allow me, Miss Garden"
and he stepped forward to offer his
arm. John Burt remained by Jessie's
side.
do not dare to speak to me, sir!"
cried Jessie, shame and anger driving
the crimson to her face. Don't let
him come near me, John!" she ex-
claimed, clinging to Burt's stalwart
arm.
"Stand back, Morris!" said John in
q low, clear tone, glitter in his dark
gray eyes. you are in no condition,
sir, to meet Miss Garden"
The flashily-dressed throng Of
guests was grouped behind Arthur
Morris. One of the young women
grasped Arthur Morris by the lapel
of the coat.
Come on, you fool" she said with
a vindictive little laugh. Don't you
see you're not wanted?" She turned
him half round and Kingsley grabbed
him by the arm.
"Come along, commodore" said that
young blood. "You are in the wrong
pew, commodore! Cheer up, sad sea
dog; we may be happy yeti" And with
laughter and taunts the guests Of the
Voltaire led the yachts befuddled
owner along the pier into the grove.
