MRS. DUKE LEFT.
Union Square Hotel PrOprietOrs Arc

Union Square Hotel Proprietors Are
 Tired of Notoriety.
 NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-Mrs. Brodie L. Duke. who is said to be under in, dictment in Texas and whose husband is clalned to be sane, although in the Amityville asylum, was ordered out of the Union Square hotel by Frank Schaefer. one of the proprietOrs. Mir Schaefer got tired of having an army Of private detectives around his place and told Mrs. Duke that she would have to move on.
 Instead of moving Mrs. Duke locked herself in her room and refused to let MT. Schaefer or any one else come near her. Earlier in the day she had had a Dr. Cook in to see her. and he had told the hotel people that she was on the verge of nervous prostration and must not be disturbed.
 The hetel people were trying 10 figure out some way to get Mrs. Duke out when Dr. Maurice Sturm. the Harlem physician who has been a conspicuous figure in the Duke tangle. arrived at the hotel He asked for Mrs. Duke. and boy went 10 notify her of his presence.
 The hotel people followed. meaning to see that the door was not locked again When they got to the room. they found that Mrs. Duke had quietly left by the back stairs. She told q maid that she was going downstairs and that she would be back later

COSSACK RAIDERS
Russian Cavalry Column Lost
 Three Hundred.
JAPANESE WAR STORES SET ABLAzE
Nosf's Victorious Army Enters Port Arthur-Surprised at Evidence That Stronghold Could Have Held
 Out For Months.

LONDON. Jan. IA telegram from Siakhotan states that General Mis- chtschenko's raidipg force. learning that five Japanese battalions had ap- reared near Tashikiow. retreated north ward and succeeded in regaining the Russian lines. Their losses were about 300 killed or wounded. all the latter being brought away.
 General Kuropatkin in dispatch to Emperor Nicholas reporting the Rus sian cavalry raids says:
 "The Japanese suffered heavily. The Russian losses during those two days were three officers killed and ten wounded and fifteen soldiers killed and forty-nine wounded
 The general adds that the cavalry captured a quantity of stores and prs- oners and says that the Japanese stores at YinkOw were set on fire and blazed for nearly a whole night.
 Late advices from the headquarters of the Thid Japanese army at Port Arthur say that the victorious Japa. nese army has formally entered Port Arthur. and. a full inspection of the city having been made. it Is evident that the surrender was not necessary as there were 3l,O00 effective men in the fortress at the time.
 The supply of ammunition was short. but it was not exhausted Food was scarce. but private stores were not requisitioned by the military
 There is no difficulty in getting good meals in the city even now from the stores in private possession.
 A portion of the fortress was capa. ble of defense for months longer It was the opinion of the noncombatants at Port Arthur that the surrender was unnecessary, as the troops were will ing and able to fight to the bitter end
 General StOessel was much blamed for what was characterized as dis graceful conclusion of q splendid dc. fense. which ended with the death of Major General Kondrachenko. who was loved by tho soldiers and was the life of the defense.

My dear girl" said I, in voice of pleading, ''it is terrible. Save me! Save me, pray you."
 Pooh! do not carc!"-with a gesture of indifference. T am trying to save myself, that is all"
 From what?"
 Another relative Parbleu! I have enough" She stamped her foot i'm patiently as she spoke T should be very terrible to you. I should say the meanest things. I should call you grandpapa and give you new cane every Christmas"
 And if you gave me also smile, I should be content"
 More than once I was near de- claring myself that day, but I had a mighty fear she was play ing with me and I held my tongue. There was an odd light in her eyes. l knew not, then, what it meant.
 You are easily satisfied" was her answer.
 '1 am to leave soon." said. May I not see you here to-morow?"
 Alas! l do not think you can,'' was her answer.
 And why not?'
 Because it would not be proper" :" said she, smiling as she looked up at me.
 Not proper! l should like to know why"
 Tt would make me break another en- gagement," she went on laughing. q am to go with the baroness to meet the count if he comes-she has com- handed. The day after, in the morn ing, at 10 o'clock. by the cascade-will that do? Good! I must leave you now. must not return with you. Remember!' she commanded, point ing at me with her tapered forefinger. "Remember-10 o'clock in the morn, ing"
 Then she took bypath and went out of sight. I returned to the man. sion as deep in love as a man could be. I went to dinner with the rest that evening. Louison came in after we were all seated.
 You were late, my dear" said the baroness.
 Yes: went away walking and lost something, and was not able to find it again."
