He had hoped she would not accede
to his proposal quite 20 readily, but
now he was fairly forced to carry 1t
out. He stepped down to the running
board and retired to the unoccupied
seat, an inside one so far In the rear
that he could no longer see her at all.

that he had left the bunch Of daisies

The railway was for the most part
single-tracked. At one Of the occa-

URGED RUSSIANS TO YIELD.
japanese Fired Letters as Well az
Shells Into Forts at Port
Arthur.

That the Japanese soldiers besieg-
Ing Port Arthur sought from time to
time to induce the Russians to sur
render, In order to prevent as much as
possible unnecessary sacrifice OF life
and to save the Russians from unnec-
essary privations. is made plain by the
following story told by correspond
ent of the Osaka Aashi:
In the early part of October last tho
Japanese occupied an outpost of a
Russian fort on the northern slope of
the East Kikwan mountain. Now that
the opposing forces were brought very
near to each other. the Japanese gen.
erals in charge thought Of hundred
and one plans to induce the individual
Russian soldiers to surrender. Finally
they arrived at an ingenious device.
Miyagoshi Jusaku was a Russian
Japanese interpreter in the service Of
the Japanese army. He could write
in Russian very nicely. So he wrote
the following letter, which was fas-
tened to an arrow and was sent with
the latter by skilful archer. who ex-
erted all the strength of his arms Ia
bending the bow.
1.-THE Russian Soldiers. Gentlemen:
Isn't II very cold? We are now weary and
bored every day We believe II is the same
with you. You must be tired OF this long
war Your wives and children, we pre-
sumo. are worrying about you. We SYM
pathize with you.
You must be wanting food. WIZ
wouldn't you surrender? 1fyou do, we will
give you warm food. We will do you no
harm. but offer you all the comforts to your
satisfaction
home, fasten your letters to stones and
throw them to u.s. We Will forward them
for You.
.'At Mukdcn. Kuropatkin has been de-
feated again. There Is no certainty in ref
erence to the coming OF the Baltic fleet.
Port Arthur Is doomed to fall
CHOSE OF you who surrender soon will be
happy. but those who hesitate will meet a
horrible fate. We request OF you to take
our words as from your God who protects
your wives and children.
"If you are willing to accept our offer. we
will make all the necessary arrangements
for your surrender Steal the eye OF your
superior officers. abandon your weapons
and come. During the daytime. come wav-
ing your handkerchtefs. At nights, come
saying aloud 'Anata' (sir).
1--WE pray for, your health. Good-by."
The effect Of the missive was soon
seen. Three Russian fugitives came
in front OF the East Kikwan mountain.
While two OF them were unfortunately
shot before their actions indicated
their pacific intention. the third sue
ceeded In his attempt.
He was a sergeant Of artillery at the
fort Upon investigation. It was found
that he had made up his mind to sur
rsnder after he read the arrow mis-
sive.
This. method was repeated often.
with various success.

people expected every time they went
up to the top that 1t would be their
last trip, as they knew that some day
the volcano would open in new place
and swallow them whole. with all the
tourists. Then he gave them a dollar
apiece to pray for him, and wanted to
go back down the mountain and let
Vesuvius run its own fireworks, but the
Chicago lady told dad to brace up and
she would protect him. and SO the
guides gave few more pushes, and we
were on top Of the volcano, and dad
collapsed and had to be brought to
with smelling salts and whisky that
the woman carried in her pistol pocket.

BILE to get up the mountain, to see the
mountain filled with boiling stuff was
worth the price of admission, and the
roaring of the boiling stuff, and the
explosions way down cellar, and the
flying stones. the smoke going into the
air for a mile, like the burning of an
oil well, the red-hot lava finding crew
ices to leak through. and flowing down
the side Of the mountain in streams
like hot maple strip. made scene

thank the good Lord that the thing
hadn't overlooked enough to hurt us.

the hell-roaring free show from other

but he said IL wanted to go around

tired out. and needed rest, and she
would stay with him, and keep him
cheered up; so left them and went OF
with one OF the dagoes, to slide down
hill on some flowing lava. and pick up
specimens.
Well, sir, I wish I could get along
some way without telling the rest Of
this sad story, but If | am going to
be historian have got to tell the
whole blame thing.
When left dad and the Chicago
woman she had produced lunch from
somewhere about her person, and a
small bottle, and they were eating and
drinking. and dad was laughing more
natural than l had seen him laugh
since we run over the old woman with
the automobile at Nice. and she was
smiling on dad just as though she was
his sweetheart. CAS- went around the
