PORT ARTHUR FALLS.
Japs Enter the Besieged Russian
Fortress.

Port Arthur has fallen. The mighty
Russian fortress is now in the hands OF
the Japanese army.
After a siege which has lasted IL
months, the little brown men overpower
the stronghold Of the enemy, thus
achieving a victory which may have a
more important bearing on the final
result Of the war between the two ma
tions than any event which has trans
Dired siuce the war was declared.
The siege and defense of Russia g
stronghold in the far east have been
marked by bravery, gallantry and des-
peratiOn unequaled in modern warfare,
and hardly excelled in military history.
The defense of the position which fell
her as heritage after the Japanese
Chinese war has cost Russia practically
her entire feet in those waters. Her
ships lie from Port Arthur to Chemulpo
and all along the peninsula battered
bulls OF once proud vessels are interned
In neutral Chinese waters. Save three
or four cruisers and some lesser craft
that lie in the ice bound refuge of Vlad-

The formal entry of the japanese into
Port Arthur, January 8, will be an i'm

will be given a banquet in the city hall

The reason for the surrender of the
fortress is evident from a visit to Wantai
hill. The entire strength of the position
lay in the main line of the outer defenses
The possession of Wantai gave the
besiegers the key to the forts east OF the
city. The hills in the rear we're not forti-
fed and afforded a full cover for the

he has not the heart to feel e~xultant
over the happy outcome to his own
fortunes. They wander off together,
for Juanita. beaming with JOY, will
not intrude upon them, but remains
near by to watch and warn il danger
threatens.
Jack learns many things in the
course of that interview. OF late the
Spanish artist has e%ndeavored to
bring his stepdaughter and ward
round to his way of thinking, and in
so doing destroyed much of the conf
dence she once had in him. AT the
same dine her high regard for the
husband which the provisions of an
old will gave her has gradually
ripened into a deeper feeling, and she
is not ashamed to confess it to the
man she honors.
Yes, dear Jack, ] do return your
affection. | love you with all my
heart. Take me, If you believe that
would make you happy. Surely you
deserve all | can do for you" Is
what she says; and poor Travers feels
quite lost because the publicity of
their position forbids him from liter
ally ~obeying.
And as they wander around in as
quiet a spot as may be found, en-
~deavOring to forget the awful scenes
of the last hour, Juanita suddenly ap-
pears before them with a warning.
Contrary to her expectation, Jack
does not fly in haste; he simply
draws Jessie's hand farther through

AS he looks he ices a sight that he
can never forget. Jessie ne longer
stands there alone, for the crippled
daughter of Don Roblado is at her
side, one arm around her waist. The
attitude is striking-it declares that
since Juanita is powerless to save
the sister she loves, then welcome
death In her company.
Then another wave of the fairy
wand, and a new grouping has oc-
Cured. Jack is unable to see the OBJ
ject of his solicitude because some
one has come between-someone who
springs out from the crowd of hud-
died, s%hrieking women, and, snatching
up a red shawl that has fallen from
the shoulders of a seno"ita, actually
starts to meet the charge of the bull.
He sees with simple amazement
that it is not a man who thus defes
1eath-the sable-hued figure is no
tranger to him.
Ye gods! it is Lola Montez!
Every eye Is upon her-even the
nrrifed women forget to Shrek now;
'lshed Is the vast audience, as though
mighty pressure had been brought
bear upon the thousands.
Yer motive was plain enough. This
"oic maid of Havana, in order to
We her fellows, seeks to attract the
tention of the black cyclone toward
rself. No nobler act Of s~elf-denial
uld enter the human mind. Nor
n she be ignorant of the fact that
e fair-haired maiden foremost
Tong those she seeks to save is her
'ccessful rival for the love OF Jack
ayers, which makes her action all
Q more amazing in the eyes of that
'ividual.
Lola Montez has seen many a fierce
ragement in the bull-ring. Born
der Cuban skies, and with years OF
" life spent in Mexico, she has, k
I her sisters, gazed upon and posi-
v enjoyed the national sport, which
ems so cruel and shocking to for
'gn eyes.
Hence, she knows full well the dan
rer she chances in thus facing an in
'uriated toro bent upon increasing
the number of victims.
Under such conditions people can
The Falls City tribune., 1905-04-21

only act through impulse, since time
will not allow a calm consideration of
the question.
1t is the heart that urges one on,
rather than the reasoning of the
brain.
Generous impulses spring to the
front, and when danger threatens,
many a mar whom no one ever
dreamed of calling q hero stands at
the engine until death overtakes him,
but saves those lives entrusted to Sis
care.
