huge marble columns that seemed each
sentinel beckoning her to return
within to the cot that held a wounded
foe. The twilight had deepened, and
the soft light Of the rising moon had

and beauty.
why should be distressed for one,
an enemy, among these thousands who

through with him and his mother stood
out in her soul with startling distinct
ness-and the horror Of his doom cut
with the deep sense Of personal an
guish.

Salvina of Warships.

The japanese achievement in rat"-
ing the sunken Russian warships IT
Chemulpo and Port Arthur has not
received due recognition. The Scien-
tific American points out that this
salving Of vessels universally believed
to have been hopelessly ruined rs
one of the most astonishing feats of
the many astonishing things
done during the late war" The
ships were not only injured in the at
tacks on Port Arthur and the sortie
of Aug. 20, but they were finally sunk
by the firing Of Nogi's guns. More
than that, the night before the sur
render, the Russian officers sought to
make complete wrecks Of them by eX-
ploding submarine mines under them.
To float them, lying as they were In
forty or fifty feet Of water, seemed
impossible, and there was grave ques-
ton whether they were really worth
raising. But the japanese persisted,
and have added to the mikados fleet
the battleships Poltava, Peresviet, Po-
bieda and Retvizan, and the fine
cruisers Varig. Boyan, Novik and Pal
lada-a handsome haul, If the four
ships captured in the sea OF Japan pc
added to round out the dozen. VI
course, large sums must be spent be-
fore these ships can be repaired, and
in some cases rearmed but the result
will be a net gain in battleships at
a far less cost than new ships would
come to. Leaving out the two coast
defense monitors captured, the SEMI
avin and Ppraxin, the japanese have
Increased the total of their battle
ships from six at the beginning or
the conflict to ten. despite the two
lost during the war. When the two
new battleships now building In Eng
land are completed. the japanese Will
have a dozen battleships. two fine
coast-defense vessels and nine fine ar
mored cruisers, which, In their hands,
are practically as valuable as battle
ships-New York Evening Post.

"Oh," said the young man, "a
hundred dollars or So"

About half that"
AT simple interest it would reach

open books on six chairs and go from

call dcsultory reading. but ] did not
hear the criticism till later and then
too often for my comfort. Memory
holds picture, more vivid than most,
of a small boy reading the 'NTidsum-
mer Nights Dream by freight, In
n room where candles were lit and
some one touched piano and young
man and girl were playing chess--the
fairies seemed to come out of Shake

was happy; It seemed mn enchanted
glimpse Of fniryland and paradise.
Nothing resembling 1t remains to me
