"Francis!" The name came fnvol-
unfairly, in a sharp whisper.
The hostess, who introduced them,
had disappeared, and Russell drew his
Wife's arm within his and led her out
into the cool, shadowy moonlight.
. "Nannie," he said, suddenly getting
both her hands in his, "do you think
that that woman would still like to
believe that her husband had told her
the TRUTH"
She met his gaze for an instant,
lmpassioned, pleading, compelling,
and her eyes went down.
II am afraid she has never-ceased
to-believe. dear, since it was-too
late" :.
He stopped and took her in his
arms, but for only moment. Some
one was coming, and they moved of

Russell had made no mistake. There
was but one jewel like that in the
whole world He had made sure of
that before he bought it for his wife
ten years before. Curious it was; a
solid diamond heart, flanked by a
score of tiny ruby ones, held in place
by the finest thread of gold that was
quite invisible sat the distance of a
few feet.
Tonight she was wearing it in a
new place-as a sole ornament to the
cleaning pile of corn-gold hair that,
alone, might have made Mamie Rus
sell beauty-famous. But besides this,
there were eyes of a matchleSs amber
gray, a richly pale. perfect skin. and
fine, scarlet lips that were gravely
sweet.
Russell gradually let his eyes away
from the jewel to furtive contempla-
tion of his wife's familiar features.
No; seven years had made slow prog
ress in ageing woman of this indie
structible type. If anything she had
grown more splendid in her thlrties
than she had ever been in the old girl
hood days of their first love.
She was conversing spiritedly with
an ambassador, and Russell thanked
Heaven that he had been allotted a
seat at the other end Of the: tahlle, She
would hardly bestow more than a
casual glance in that direction, and he
relied upon his short beard and eye
glasses to protect him from recogni-
ton.
The dinner progressed tiresomely
and the running fire of small talk Rus
sell found himself obliged to keep up
with the lady on his right, was about
the hardest work the young broker
had ever done in his life.
Presently there was a lul1 and he
became conscious that all eyes were
turned upon the man who sat directly
opposite to him.
YES" Hurlbut was saying, 1T
seems I am here on a very absurd
quest, considering the fact that I don t
even know the fellows name or ad-

All I have to go on is that he lived on
Fifth avenue seven years ago-was
tall and dark and smooth-faced, with

Russell started. Luckily no one
was looking at him. and the ridiculous
red that poured over his face went
unnOticed. After all, how many thou
sand people there were to whom this
description might apply as we'll as to
himself! He sincerely hoped he was
not growing egotistic.

Diphtkeria in School Children.

Attention has been called to the
fact that there is an observable in.
crease in diphtheria cases among
school children almost Immediately
upon their return to school after the
holidays, and a gradual decrease as
the term advances. This is accounted
for by the fact that during vacations
the drainage is :imperfectly attended
to, but with the opening of school
there is abundant flushing of pipes by
reason ofsconstant use. This. theory
is interesting when it is taken into
consideration that a number of vio-
lent outbreaks OF this disease have
followed long dry spells: An ample
supply of good water. with the free
use Of potash or good soap, would do
much toward keeping not only diph>
iberia, but many other diseases. in

funds.
After 'introductions to .Messrs. Rus

Hon. W. w. Rice of Worcester, Mass,
was a candidate for Congress, and
made a desperate fight for his elec.

friend of Gen. Butler to speak for and
with him.
On the Goth and last night of the

insisted, and his friend said, "Well,

The thought flashed through his
friends mind to play a little joke on
the principal, and he replied, "All
right, will open the meeting and
give you the pleasure of closing it,
Mr.. Rice had prepared carefully a
speech which be had given at all his
meetings, and his friend had heard it
so often that he was familiar with all
its details. When the meeting was
called to order Mr.. Rice's friend was
introduced as the first speaker and
exhausted, in his own choice of WORDS,
every point of Mr.. Rices speech.
As he sat down, Mr.. Rice slapped
him on the knee and said, Joe, when

do, as he had enough to do to extern
porize a speech in his turn at the
wheel.

SOLDIERS OF JAPAN
OYAMA'S WARRIORS A MARVEL,
SAYS EASTERN WRITER,
Fortitude and Obedience Cardinal Mir
tues of the Men Whose Long String
of Victories Has Astonished the
Whole World.

Before the signing OF a definite
treaty, while Marshal Oyama's host is
still In it's full strength, ready for any
orders, the marvellous Japanese army
ought to be given more complete rec
ognition as a. wonder of the age. It's
like has never been seen, says the
Cleveland Leader.
Here is a combination, on a. vast
scale, of scientific, clear-eyed intelli-
gence, never self-deceived, always un-
der perfect control, far-seeing and Or
derly, with the highest imaginable per-
sona courage and devotion. Duty and
the fighting instinct are equally de-
veloped- Obedience is perfect and the
need of it is as slight as it can be in a
great army, for every man wants to
do his utmost for his country and
knows we'll how to strike the foe with
telling effect.
But the astonishing work of the ia
panese on the field of battle is not so
wonderful as their behavior in camp
and on the march. Oyama's great host
has only handful of camp followers.
There is no horde of dissolute women.
No llquor sellers swarm about the ia
panes lines. The few traders deal
mostly in writing materials and little
fans.
The soldiers who have won every
battle fought and displayed marvellous
stamina, courage and fortitude, send
many letters home and in hot weather
they use their fans freely for personal
comfort. They do not get drunk. Chi
nese women and children go about
their daily vocations, all alone the
30o-mile front of the Japanese host
wholly undisturbed. entirely safe.
The fighting men of Nippon build
| little toy gardens in the fashion OF
| their native land. They grow plants
! and flowers with loving skill and
amuse themselves with handicraft of
various kinds. wrestling matches en-
tertain them. But they do not make
themselves the prey of appetite or pas
sion ~. ~ H. - 3
Perhaps a greater marval IS the l1p.j 7Ja:
panese army's abstention from drink
ing water condemned by the remark
| able medical staff which has done
much to make the death rate from
disease almost incredibly low. The
Japanese are great water drinkers.
| They are said by some authorities to
average a gallon a day apiece. But
they have fought through hot summer
days, from early morning till night,
close to inviting streams and wells, and
let the water remain untasted, because
it had been declared unfit for drink
! ing.
All this is wonderful beyond the
belief of western soldiers. Americans
and Europeans, in the heat of combat.
o. made reckless by the inertia OF
camp life, show scant respect for Or
ders which conflict with their thirst or
their hunger.
An army so careful to live, yet so
willing to die; so obedient and so bold
| SO sound in health, SO strict in disc1-
pline, so rich in individual initiative
and so respectful to officers, has no
parallel, It deserves the triumphs it
has Won

of the city Of Seattle. which Is said to

arising San Francisco. is five ex-cen-
victs, bunko men and sure thing ope-

attic and was promptly taken into Gus
tody by Lieutenant OF Police Ander-
son. The names of the FIVE arrested
men are Matte Daniels, W. MalloY.
George Harmon. Harry Michael and
Orland D. Rostel. This precious quin-
tet is accused of having frequented va
rious jails throughout the country and
also with having earned a living by
robbing the public when out of tbs
clutches of the law.
The officials of Seattle, learning that
the career OF the gaspipe thugs and
hOldup men Of various descriptions had
about come to an end in this city, gen.
erously allowed the five desperadoes to
depart from there so that there would
be no scarcity of criminals. sixth

sent to Pendleton. Ore, where he is
wanted for jail breaking. The hvs
who arrived are in healthy condition.

ness of Lieutenant Anderson would bs

The arrested men admit that they
were run out Of Seattle because one OF
their number was indiscreet enough
to be caught 1ooting at the railroad
depot there. The entire gang was ar
rested, but on telling the Seattle po-
lice authorities that they were bound
for San Francisco they were joyously
placed aboard the steamer Spokane and
bid godspeed On the way down the
FIVE men amused themselves by heec-
ing the unwary passengers aboard the

himself as determined to return the
criminal consignment to Seattle's noto-
