Then we must run away" said Bradam with determination.
 But at this the girl shook her head with decision. That can never be" she declared. We must find some other way"
 We shall find 6 way vowed Bra dam. And, kissing her rapturously half a dozen times, he left her. It required a week for Bradam to think it over, but he did it. Then he sought the little brown-eyed pearl of the Orient, as he liked to call her in his thoughts. The hedge had become their trysting place and when Bradam would creep along there and whistle a certain little air he had taught her to know, the girl would steal from the house to meet him. It was with something like boyish glee that Bradam hurried along to the hedge that particular afternoon, and his whistle echoed shri1ly from over the chrysanthemum beds. He waited a few moments; then, growing im- patient, he was about to repeat the call. when some branches of the hedge parted. and the half frightened, half smiling face of his sweetheart appear ed. In a moment Bradam held her tight in his arms.
 "Ssh," she whispered, as his lips parted to speak, you whistled so loudly you almost frightened me from coming
 "Ah. my little Marigold, 1t was my happiness. You see. I have found a way"
 The dreamy eyes of the girl looked their mingled admiration and joy.
 You know, call you my Marigold," he continued: and then he whispered the rest of it with his lips close against her cheek. She smiled and allowed her eyelids to veil her brown eyes for a momen- tary dream. Then she slipped from Bradam's arms and running to cer- tain bed of chrysanthemums-the were Grandifioras-whichh he had point ed out to her, suddenly disappeared among them so completely, that not a tell-tale ripple appeared on the gaudy surface of the bed of blooms. Bradam now boldly entered the yard and called the florist.
 T wish to make a purchase of chrysanthemums." he said, coming to the point at once, after having led the old man into the yard. The owner of the flowers immediately became an eager tradesman. But he soon found that he was no more an eager seller than his customer was an eager buyer.
 
 Bradam, "the entire cluster that I want everything that is contained here," he explained. pointing out the boundaries of the bed.
 You shall have all," declared Tenno: {: and he named a price. Bradam drew from his pocket a purse and immediately paid over the sum asked.
 'Now. it is understood" he said. that everything which is contained in the cluster is miner"
 Indeed, yes, you have paid" was the answer which came cheerfulIy. for the old man was delighted with the price.
 At the conclusion of the transaction. the little brown-eyed daughter of old Tenno, taking her cue, arose from among the Grandifioras and ran to Bradam's arms.
 For moment Tenno stood aehast at the turn of the trade, but presently smiled his appreciation of the Amer jeans shrewdness; and, taking the two by the hands, led them into the house When Bradam, a little later, made a tour Of Europe and America, his little bride from the Orient won loads of admiration everywhere.

 Yes, I think-I think that we shall not be able to do without Port Arthur after the close of the war;" said Baron Kentaro Kaneko musingly, hesitat- ingly, his keen black eyes gazing in- respectively.
 A dapper little gentleman, this Jap- anese statesman.

In voice low, deliber- ate. with an infection of gentleness; his enunciation, save for the slight Japanese accent. very distinct.
 We were seated in the Baron's com tortaole parlor in the Holland House, piuish circles from his Egyptian cig- erettes slowly drifting. My personal acquaintance with him was of recent date. He had read some of my late books, particularly the one on Russia and the one in which reflections on the present war between Japan and Rus sia form considerable part had writ ten me very kindly. praising my work ana expressing amazement at what he was good enough to term my wonder ful insight into Japanese life and as- pirations." and had invited me to nav him a visit. Like all the intelligent japanese l ever met, he. too. was very eager and skillful in questioning. Rut though very astute diplomat-indeed now else could his Government have appointed him on a secret mission to this country at this critical tide in Ja- pans anairs he was quite frank in answering my own questions. And in- deed, he who has watched Japan's craftsmanship during recent years Knows that frankness has been it's most conspicuous feature.
 He continued:
 Russia made out of Port Arthur her Gibraltar of the Far East. In fact Fort Arthur is much stronger than EnSlands key to the Mediterranean. NOW, the world admits that Gibraltar IS absolutely required for England's naval supremacy in the Mediterranean nay for her dominion in India. M forms the first and by far the most important step on her way to the East. Without Gibraltar her control of India and her eastern colonies is shaken and becomes a disputable point. Rut For us Port Arthur means vastly more than does Gibraltar for England. Look at the mapP'

weather commences and keeps up until March. At Mukden the temperature sometimes goes down as low as 33 de- grees c. During the day. however, the cold is not excessive. and sometimes in the middle of the winter the suns rays become very warm, on account of the southerly position of that locality. The maximum temperature of summer is 9S.6 or 1904 degrees F. About ten months of the year are dry for the most part, and the excessive wet season only occurs during a month or so. At Much wang, on the north shore of the Gulf of Liao-tung. the mean winter tempera- ture Is Is degrees F y>and the mean an nual temperature is All degrees F. The Russian maritime provinces have a very low mean annual temperature Thus at Vladivostok the average for winter Is 10.2 degrees F., and for the summer it is only 39.9 degrees F.

 Bradam had had his first glimpse of her at a public library in Yeddo, where he held a position of some im- portance, in the employ of an Amer tcan manufacturer; and there was that In the Oriental charm of her beautiful face which had at once attracted his attention. She was young, scarcely more than child, yet she. in turn. had shyly shown a liking for the Americans face. The great mass of her dark hair had been artistically ar- ranged on top of her pretty head, after the fashion of her country women of Yeddo. Her brown eyes tilting ever 90 slightly upward toward her temples, had danced a little frightened quick step, as their gaze met the fire of Bradam's eyes; and the yelled pinkish tint of her cheeks perceptibly deepen- ed.
 Upon this meeting, and the peculiar recognition of mutual admiration, through his shrewd American tact, Bradam had so engineered his move- ments as to soon bring himself near the little Tokio maiden. But she had suddenly begun to exercise coy re- serve. partially shielding her flushed face behind book whose covers were illuminated with great gilt designs.
 Nevertheless. Bradam soon came near enough to speak something in a low tone, to which he got pleasant an- swer. Then he had made bold to con- tinue the conversation and to make his words of such a complimentary nature as to keep the color of the girls cheeks playing hide and seek from happy ex- citement
 Although he had spent quite two years in the Japanase metropolis, Bradam's manipulation of the native tongue was not the happiest; and there were many pretty smiles of amusement at his expense during that first con- versation. But all of that was sum- shine to Bradam. for he was fascinated.
 But the little maid would not tell where she lived. and the American had been forced to find that out for himself. It was not such an easy task; and 1t was some time before he had discovered her at home. Her father was a shop man; and among other things, he had a great garden of chrysanthemums. from which he sold to Americans and Europeans, reaping a fair harvest.
 Here. Bradam found her one day, her pretty head reared among the chrysanthemums like on of them; and after that. he called her his Lovely Marigold."
 The first time Bradam kissed her. it was behind the hedge which surround ca her fathers garden, and a sensa- ton crept over him as of having tasted some rare tropical fruit which had melted in his mouth with intox- tcating effect. She had but half under stood his kisses. though she had un- derstood his words of love, and she knew that the American was pleading Tor her to become his wife Rut though this filled her with intense Joy. she at the same time felt afraid.
 An. my father. my father will nev- CT consent" she whispered. You know. it Isn't allowed. think" And she shook her head sadly.
 Oh. but he must consent, my little Marigold. he must. he must,"s declared Bradam vehemently.
 The girl shook her head again. But if he will not?" And she looked up into Bradam's eyes doubtfully.

TESTED NEW ENGINE
FIRE APPARATUS FOR MONTGOM-
 FRY DEPARTMENT.
C0uncirs Committee Saw New Chemical Engine at work and RecOm- menaed its Acceptance
 fo the Aldermen.

In the presence of the members Of the Fire Committee of the City Coun- ell, the new chemical engine for the Montgomery Fire Department was test ed at o'clock yesterday afternoon by the companys agent, T. R. Polglase, in front of the fire stations on Madison Avenue, and made most favorable inn precision on everyone who saw 1t.
 The test consumed about fifteen min- utes' time but that was long enough to show that the little fire fighting ap- paratus was all that was claimed for 1t and that 1t was just what the Mont gomery Fire Department needed to complete its equipment
 When Chief J. F. Browder, the com mittee of the Council and the agent were ready, one of the big brass tanks of the chemical engine was reversed, the hose stretched and a strong stream 'of water carrying the acid gas formed in the cylinder tank shot about sixty feet out of the nozzle. A shut-off cock at the nozzle makes 1t possible for the stream to be turned on and discontinued at will.
 MT. Polglase explained to the Alder men how the chemical engine was op- erated and for what special occasions 1t could be used to great advantage Any fire in its incipiency. he said. could be stopped almost instantly and showed the manner of fighting fire at it's out break With the chemical engine.
 Aldermen Sullivan, Teague and Grif- filth, composing the Fire Committee of the City Council, were much pleased with the chemical engine at It's test, and last night reported favorably on its acceptance to the Council.
 The engine is fitted with two fifty gallon tanks and one tank may be fill ed while the other is being used, there- by giving the engine the advantage or a continuous stream. Two hundred feet of hose connected with the water tanks is wound on reel above the tanks and a fireman may go right into a house with his line of hose and get to the origin of a fire before turning on his stream.
 The neatness and adaptability of the tuck for fighting small fires was made apparent in the test and it is proph- esied that it's use will reduce much of the fire loss in Montgomery.
 The truck, with It's crew of four men, weighs 5000 pounds. but the wheels are fitted on ball bearing axles and the truck runs lightly.
 Chief Browder said that he was high ly pleased with the engine. He said that 1t would be put into service as scon as he could make some change in fire headquarters to give it room. It is contemplated to cut out some of the rear partitions on the Madison Avenue fire stations in order to gain room enough to store more apparatus.
 The hose wagons were inspected by the committee and were favorab1y com mented on in respect to their work nianship and neat appearance.

PERCHED ON THE DOME
GRIFFITHs DOVE OF PEACE RESTS n ON THE CAPITOL.
Representative Says, However, That Some One May "COme Along and Shoot the Stuning
 Out of Her."

Denver, Col, Jan. 9.-With the excep- tion of the contest for the governor ship which will be filed by Governor Peabody Wdenesday, and the hearing of which will continue through several weeks, the political troubles of Colo rado that are of particular interest to the outside world have been settled, andN Ava Adams will be inaugurated as Governor tomorrow. There is no sign of trouble now, and unless vio- lent counter-current strikes in from some unexpected direction, there will be no trouble in the future.
 Representative Griffith's peace dove, which had such strenuous experiences last Saturday after he had announced its arrival, Is now, according to that gentleman, firmly perched on the Cap itOl dome.
 She's there, all right" said MT. Grif- filth, but you know how 1t is in politics. Something may come up some day and some fellow may shoot the stuffing out of her. There is no reason why any bcdy should do it, and if anybody does, he is no gentleman"
 The last fight was waged today in the Senate, when Luther M. Goddard of Denver, and George W. Bailey of Fort Collins, who were nominated by Governor Peabody for the Supreme bench, were confirmed after hard fight.
 The two "Wo1cott Republican" Sen ators, Campbell and De Long, who on Saturday had voted with the Demo- crats, came in with the regulars late in the morning and two Democratic Senators. Ballinger and Hill. also came over. Both Democrats voted for Bai- ley, making the totals on his confirm ation 21 to 13. Balilnger remained with the Republicans when Goddard's name came up again and the vote was 26 to II. The Democrats claim that inas- much as the two appointments are not effective until April, Governor Peabody had no legal right to name them, but should allow Governor Adams to select them. An effort will probably be made at some time later to induce Governor Aeams to appoint two men in place of Goddard and Bailey phe appointments confirmed today will make the politi- cal complexion of the court seven Re- publican and two Democrats.

 Scientific American.
 The climate of Manchuria plays an important role in the war between Rus sia and Japan. Up to the present we have had but little precise information upon this point M. J. Ross has late- ly given some indications as to the cli- mate of that region and the character of the different seasons. He states that in the months of March and April there are strong southwest winds which bring with them heat and moisture. At the end of March the winter season ends. The undersoil is still frozen at this time, but the ground can be work ed for agriculture. April appears to be the only month of spring. At the end of this month the sowing of wheat commences Summer begins in May. and at the ~end of June or the begin ing of July the wheat is cut Up to the end of June rain is rare and the sky is clear, while cloudy weather is an exception. The heat reaches a maxi mum at the end of July and the first part of August. Afterward come heavy rains or storms. It often rains for sev- eral days and nights without stopping. The soil is completely saturated and inundations are frequent.
 September is the harvest month, while October gives some of the finest wealth CT of the year. At this time heat is agreeable during the day and the sky is clear, with bracing air. while vege- tation Is at it's height. At the end of the month the first night frosts begin to appear, and in November the cold
