about things she don't know nothing
about, amt it7 Gee,l can IT under
stand 'em. For which the Kid is not
to blame. No man born of woman,
Solomon included, has ever reached
that height Of understandings Well,
we got to the pugholes sput the old drake
in the water and hi. but all. the game
we got was a mink that tried to make
sneak on old John D., that s what
Billy's father calls the old drake, and
come mighty nigh maxim it,. only |
caught him at it and nailed him. Old
John D. caught shot or two, SO we
coaxed him out, fed him some, and
started home. It was getting pretty
dark when we started, and time we
struck the big field that borders on the
road it was almost plumb dark, but
that didn It bother us any: We knew
the way home if twas dark as the in
side of a COW, and could get in in time
for supper, easy We heard some fell
lows coming along the road in a wagon,
singing and having a good time, and
hurried up to try and catch them be-
fore they passed, for maybe they might
give us ride. But they turned off,
or stopped somewhere, OF we thought so
for we couldn It hear them all Of a sud
den, and we give up hope OF a ride and
walked slower.
1--WE was hikin along not thinking
Of any danger, when my hat jumped
right off my head, a lot Of bullets went
singin by, and a lot of guns banged
away right from the field fence we was
maxim for. We knew blame well what
we was up against and what to do, so
we dropped down on the ground, and
you bet we Rugged it hard and yelled
to them blamed fools to quit shootin ,.
They answered back, and we put for
the fence, sure now that they couldn t
get out of givin' us ride to town
after they'd shot at us and missed us
| to boot. We climbed over the fence
and then we saw the wagon, the team
hitched to tree a little way off, and
four men with guns in their hands,
standin in the road. AS we came up
one Of them flashed up one Of those
electric search lights like Powers
keeps, and they got good look at us.
Now Billy had kept that foolrpolice
star pinned on his coat because he, d
j forgot to take it off and 1 hadn t
| noticed he still had it, and the minute
those fellows saw that they shut off
| the light, one Of them yelled, Game
warden, by! and in less n a minute
they was cross the road, over the fence,
and putin for the woods like the Old
Harry was after 'em Well, if they
/ didn't know no more than that we
/ thought the best thing we could do was
/ just to let 'em go till they got tired
enough to stop and come back, SO we
went over to the wagon and investi-
gated it. It was two-seated livery
rig, and as sure s you are born there
was a big deer covered up with gunny
! sacks In it.

St. Petersburg. June 21.-Russia the Associated Press is officially in formed, finds no objection to August l, as suggested by Japan, as the date for the meeting of the plenipotentia- ries, and instructions will be sent to Ambassador Cassini to accept it.
 Tn spite of dispatches from Wash ington indicating a possibility that Count Cassini and Minister Takahira may sign a temporary armistice be- fore the end of the week, the foreign office declares positively that there have been no official exchanges on the subject. Indeed, according to d view expressed by the foreign offices recognized mouthpiece, there is not much expectation that suspension of hostilities can be arranged. At the same time it is readily agreed that the prospects of peace might be ad- vanced if a battle could be avoided pending the meeting.
 According to reports current in this city some preliminaries looking to an armistice have already taken place between General Lineyitch and Field Marshal Oyama, but the war office of fers no confirmation of this. On the contrary, news from the front, al though meager, all seems to indicate Ia Japanese advance begun.

The menace to Japan was too plain to be misunderstood, and the islanders began quietly to make their prepara- tions. They resolved on a protest and in the event of it being disregard. ed. they made ready for war. Up to July. 1903, events had moved slowly In this month a swift current bore the two nations along to the whirlpool whence Japan now emerges, dripping put debonair. Japan's formal protest to St. Petersburg was made on July 2Sth. The Mikado desired to know when the czar intended to remove his troops from that part of Manchuria which they had occupied unlawfully since the Boxer outbreak, but, accord ing to the czar, temporarily. The per manent occupation by Russia of ss- surance that her sphere of influence Manchuria would be 'prejudicial to the security and interests of Japan, while the independence of Korea was absolutely essential to Japanese re pose and security" The Russian gov ernment was asked for an early assur- ance on these points.
 Russian Plays to Gain Time.
 Three weeks passed and Russia re mained dumb. Pressed for an an swer. Count Lamsdorff explained that in the czar's absence he could not re ply at once. He asked, however, that the negotiations might be transferred from St. Petersburg to Tokio, that capital being nearer the scene, and not so far from Viceroy Alexieff, who would certainly have to be consulted ! The Japanese premier instructed his minister to say that Japan would pre- fer to continue the negotiations where they had begun, in view of the fact that Alexieff was notoriously an enc my of Japan. Nevertheless, at the czar's request. he consented to have the scene shifted. This was on Sep tember g. Port Arthur then became the center of interest, and from there on October 5, Alexieff issued Russia's counter-proposal, which conceded vir tually nothing. Ten days later Ja pans amended proposals were issued
 Russia Silent, War Declared.
 That was on October 31, 1903. All through November and December the i Japanese government pressed for g reply. At first it was told that the czar had decided that negotiations would be continued. But no one was authorized to negotiate. Still later il was stated that the illness of the em press was causing delay The Tokic government kept on urging for de cision. On December II came furth CT proposals from Russia, having nc reference whatever to Manchuria. Ja pan protested. Its ambassador inti mated to Russia that it might cause serious difficulties, even complica tions, if we failed to come to an en tente." OA January Russia was will ing to guarantee Japan in it's treaty rights and privileges in Manchuria Still Japan. on the 18th, pressed for Russian declaration of the independ ence of Manchuria. On the 23rd oi January Japan requested reply Or the 26th Japan notified Russia that its silence accentuated the gravity of the
