You say he has escaped? When and how did
he go"
Last night, Gen. l climbed down the vine Of
the easement here. See, it is strong. My father
Tor the first time had not been near me all day,
and thought / was safe from observation,
though indeed could not be sure. But ] went
to him and warned him of the danger, and he
has gone to Choshui"
THAT is very WELL then"
But my father may know the truth and will
track him through the woods / cannot live for
the fear, the august dread, of what may befall
him."
do not tremble So my lady Things are not
so dark as they seem. II is quite impossible for
your father to have overheard you; he left Catzu
at noon yesterday"
"Ah! Then if that is so il will be too late
to warn the young Prince Mori,' she cried.
"But do not think of this prince, my lady. BE
happy that your august lover is safe"
"Oh" she cried, despairingly "but / cannot
have the death of this innocent prince upon my
hands. / should die if anything happened to
him"
"Wel, do take some comfort my lady. You
say your lover departed last night. Very good.
The samurai Shmadzu left yesterday at noon.
Yet the young man, am ready to swear by my
sword, will be the fut to reach Choshui"
"Oh but vengeance and hatred will lend
wings to my parents feet"

"And the wings of vengeance and hatred, my
lady, are not SO fleet as those of the wings OF
love Be assured

Sir Genji's brows contracted. Ever since he
had followed her to the old Catzu palace, when
she was a tiny, bewitching little creature of five
with laughing lips and shining eyes, flower
ornament tumbling down the side of her hair
and miniature kimono tied about with pur-
pie obi, she had been his favorite. He could
scarcely believe it possible that any one could
be cruel to this beautiful young girl His looks
lust then bode i'll for any one who should cause
her nain. Nevertheless, for many days now the
young girls chamber had been not unlike that
of an inquistorial prison. 1t was true there were
no thumb-screws or neck-halters or burning-irons
Within but there were instruments of torture
more refined and excruciating in their torture,
because they pierced the mind rather than the
body.
II the girl awoke screaming in the night, one
could be sure that some creeping, spying pres
ence had entered her chamber and had grown
upon the consciousness of her dreams, rudely
awakening her to the fearful nightmare OF an
unseen presence In the early morning she was
awakened from her sleep and forced to carry on
those nerve-shocking, heart-breaking interviews
with her lover. She fell asleep at night with the
intuitive knowledge that one watched unceasing-
ly in her chamber. She might make no stir or
movement mnobserved,
This Sir Genji heard for the first time.
"And l may rely on you for the future| she

Thus all night long had the delicate Lady Wis.
taria crouched at her easement. Did the night
winds stir the long grasses or rattle the boughs
OF the trees and bushes, the young girl started
and trembled with unspeakable fear. Did the
steady beat, beat of the wooden sandals of the
guards at the palace gates for a moment cease
or increase their rhythmic, orderly tramp, her
heart bounded up, then almost stopped its beat
ing The slightest sound or stir made her trem-
BILE and culver. Only the nightingale, softly,
piercingly, ceaseessly singing throughout the
night, comforted and soothed her like the song
of an angel. Under its soothing influence she
had fallen asleep, with her little, tired head upon
her arms But even while she slept, she sighed
and trembled. Awaking before daybreak, she
needed not the shivering breezes of the passing
night, but waited for the sunlight.
An alert guard of the palace gates, after the
night watch, was vending his way through one
of the paths which led out OF the grounds, when
he thought he heard some one calling his name.

lSsSS9D your train is scudding through the
great fertile plain which forms this
part of rural Bavaria-you see great pumes OF
dark smoke in the air before you. There are
high mountains, too, beyond them; but you
have seen plenty of mountains already-before
you came to Regensburg-and the smoke takes

her innumerable breweries; it is the plume which
decks the coronet of her beerage. As you enter
the city the breweres close in on either side Of
the linea triumphant avenue of them. Nor can
you ever escape their influence until you have
left Munich behind you.
Muncheners have unique method Of cele-
brating their loyalty to King Beer Their city
uoat-of-arms is the figure of monk holding up
his arms i'll benedictlon--the 'little monk" from
which the name "DIunchen" is derived. This
little monk pervades the whole city; he is
brought before your notice in countless forms
and places-dos, photographs, or pictures, on
teapots, pipe bowls, or house fronts. The
"Munchener Kindi," as he is afectionatey
called, is ubiquitous.
In photographs of small children, from life.
on picture postcards, in wood carvings or pot
terry in advertisements or out of them, he is in
separable from his mug or his barrel.
Certain parts of the city have about them a
continual odor OF malt; you cannot walk fifty
yards down any street without meeting brew

meeting some man or woman carrying one or
more foaming beer mugs to some mysterious dest
nation; you cannot walk five without passing am
establshent of some kind or other devoted to
the sale of beer. Munich, in fact, presents the
most remarkable instance of unanimity TO be
found in the world. II has done so for centuries
past if we may Judge from the fact that the
most important brewing concerns have flour

summer she is cooler than sweltering Berlin, Ear

boundaries, and around her a solemn ring OF

New National Theater.

Mr.. Barrie's new piece, Peter Pam" In
which Miss Maude Adams appeared at the
New National Theater last night, has de-
cidedly the merit of novelty. 1t Is bold In
the extreme and yet wholly innocuous II
Is like a dream In which all sorts OF half
forgotten things obtrude themselves with
the most absurd solemntty. But 1t Is not
at all bad dream, whatever may be
thought of Its merits as q play. After the
first few shocks of absurdity have passed
nothing seems extraordinary. Lions. os-
triches. crccodiles, American Indians. pi-
rates. Miss Maude Adams and other human
beings are brought to attention in a swirl
of incidents which relate to nothing in par
ticular.
A pleasant little fancy is that fairy
called "Tinkabell." represented on the
silvery chime for a voice, is Peter Pans
constant companion. Peter Is good enough
to translate ''TinkabelFs' remarks for the
benefit of the audience. One Of the sprite's
fayorite comments Is SILLY asst! And
without implying any definite or Offensive
application. It seems one of the most bril-
liant and plausible lines in the piece.
The opening of the play borrows an incl
dent from the good old German story OF
Peter Schlemihl, the man who lost his
shadow. That story was sufficiently puz-
cling In its purpose. but compared to Peter
Pam 1t is a triumph of lucidfty. From
this point II WanQerS on WIN absolute IL
responsibility The auditor Is dazed until
he discovers that he is the subject OF
huge practical joke: then he becomes ge-
nially appreciative resentful, according
to personal temperament
1t is a performance that children should
revel in The dreams and ambitions OF
tuvenility are realized with all the splendor
that stage craft can bestow, and the ma
ture mind may find here and there a peg Of
satire upon which to hang discriminating
smile The admirers of Miss Adams will
welcome her entirely for her own sake, and
not because of any especial opportunities
afforded her in this production, which is
neither drama, farce, satire, operetta. bal
let nor burlesque, although containing sug-
gestions of them all.
To enjoy Peter Pan the spectator should
check his logical faculties at'the door along
with his coat and umbrella. If he takes
them into the theater they are sure to be
in the way. 1t is merely a riot of whimsical
fancy which 1t is impossible to enjoy unless
you can abandon the matter-of-fact world
and Join unreservedly in the British humor-
lists habit of taking serious things frivol-
ously and frivolous things seriously. When
1t is all over and you leave Miss Adams pos
ing In the midst of beautiful woodland
scene, like graceful modern faund, syrinx
In hand and electric lights scintillating
about her in dazzling profusion, you are
at least grateful for a new sensation There
Is nothing else quite like "Peter Pan" 1t
Is a strange experience.

The board of education will hold spe-

finish the reading of her brief In defense,

before it adjourns.
Prominent colored citizens anticipate, It
is said, decision entirely in Mrs Coopers
favor. They claim that the principal has
never had the cooperation of all the mem

rivals for the position, have made trouble.
These facts will, 1t is SAID vindicate Mrs
Cooper, and SO readjust the conditions at

fair trial.

Rations for District National Guard.

According to Gen. Weston, formerly COM
missary general of the army, the militia Of
the District of Columbia was supplied in
August. 1904, and June. 1905, under the pro-
visions of the act of March /, 1890, and by
direction of the Secretary Of War, rations
to the value of S4.14655. 1T is thought"
says Gen. Weston. that the expenses Of
the regular encampment of the entire or
ganized militia of the country are fully pro-
vided for under the act of January p, 1908.
The act itself embodies an extensive scheme
to promote the efficiency of the. organized
militia of the states. territories and District
of Columbia, and 1t Is believed that Con-
gress intended to place the militia Of the
whole country on the same basis, and not
to make an exception in favor of that of the
District of Columbia by which 1t may share
the benefits OF two appropriations for iden-
tically the same thing, as II would practi-
cally do If allowed the benefits arising un-
der the act of March 1. 1889, and the act
of January Il, 1903, which enlarged the ap-
plication of the act Of June 6. 1900
