patCle, made his dispositions according
ly and entered the fight with his ewes
open. The admiral only casually states
ID the course Of his letter that the
minister of marine is investigating the
causes Of the catastrophe to determine
whether the commander shall be court
marualed for the loss of his ships.
The charge that the British admiral
concentrated his ships at Wei-hai-wei,
expecting to receive an order to DESTROY
the Russians in the event of Admiral
Togo's proving unequal to the task.
has caused a sensation in diplomatic
circles, all the more so as Admiral
Rojestvensky' letter was published
with the permission Of the minister of
marine, and no doubt is entertained
that it will be made the subject of dip.

Referring to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the DISPOSE
ton of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that this was unknown even
to the admiral of the British feet al
lied with the japanese, who concen-
trated his forces at Wei-hai-wei in ex-
pectation of receiving an order to ami
hllate the Russian feet if this. the
hnal object of Great Britain, was be-
yond the power of the Japanese"

Joel Logston reached BoonesborOugh
much exhausted from the loss Of blood;
but he was not so weak as to be IN
able to give a very extraordinary ac-
count of what had transpired.
The restraint which had been imposed
upon the Frenchman' actions proved by
no means agreeable. He felt that he
was in danger. and that many Of his
plans were likely to fail. He attributed
al his present difficulties 10 young Nor
wood. and resolved to he fully revenged
upon him. He paced the rough floor of
the block-house until near midnight, de-
vising plans of escape and retaliation.
The pioneers were in their cabins,
and the Frenchman was the sole occu-
pant of the structure. The door which
opened into the inclosure was guarded
by Andrew. who was soon to be relieved
by Exquisite Ebony. That it would be
possible to corrupt the simple black and
escape was an idea that naturally crept
into the mind of LIE Bland. The result
of this conception was the following con-
versation between the parties.
Andrew" said the Frenchman, in a
low voice, putting his mouth to loop
hole
The honest African was somewhat
contatose at that time; but the sound
instantly aroused him, and caused him
to look around in alarm. LIE Bland re-
peated the name.
"Am dat you spokin?" said Andrew.
The prisoner answered in the affirma-
tive without delay.
Don't dress yerself to me-" returned
Andrew, with some loftiness of manner
The Frenchman CRASHED his teeth
with anger, and wished, for the moment,
above all other things, for the privilege

THEIR AIM is a REPUBLIC.
Polish Patriots in This Country
Linked in a Great Lengue

Polish Patriots in This Country
Linked in Great League
All over the world Poles are watch
ing the course of events in Russia and
asking one another rs there hope?"
They do not say of what That is not
necessary. To Poles the phrase has but
one meaning-the independence of their
country. But their leaders. the Secret
Central Committee of the Polish League.
are playing a waiting game.
inns Secret Central Committee is re-
ally wonderful organization-a govu.n-
ment within government. 1t consists
OF the ablest men in the National
League, vast society that numbers
nearly every adult male Pole and MANY
women as well. The league has branches
in every place where there are enough
Poles to form a club of some sort or
other. No matter whether the club be
social, literary, dramatic, political or
athletic, it is first of all patriotic.
There IS secret committee at the
head Of the various organizations in ev-
cry country where the Poles have extern
slve interests. There is one here in
New York; which governs the $4,000
members in America. There is another
in London, and still others in Paris. Ber-
lin and even st. Petersburg and War
saw.
From these subcommittee delegates
are chosen for the highest committee of
ell, the Central Committee, whose word
is law These delegates are usually men
OF considerable wealth, all of it pledged
to the cause, and, without exception, of
high personal integrity. This is vital,
because they have undisputed control of
the funds of the league, and are answer
able to no one for their expenditures
Nearly all Poles are firmly determined
that if they ever become an Independent
nation they viii have a republic on the
plan Of our own and with a constitution
based on ours. All parties-National-
ist, Agrarian, the three Socialistic par
ties and a couple OF others-make this
the chief plank in their platforms
The league in this country has $4,000
members, of whom 800 are women. At
its last conference, held at Buffalo about
month ago, some 100000 was appropri-
ated for different expenses, among them
being a statue of KOsciusko, to be erect
ed in Washington and presented to the
American people, and the establishment
of a higher Polish school in Pennsylva-
MIA. Among the activities of the New
York branch is a fund for the relief
of Polish deserters from the Russian
army who flee to this country.

A walk of half an hour brought +ha

But not the Starlight that is more
pleasant to Oter-Lifter than the bright
ness of day" returned the Indian.
The bold chief OF the Cherokees will
make me sad said Starlight.
He would not willingly darken +ba
rays of joy that should continually
stream up from your heart, and beam
from your eyes, rejoined Otter-L LITTER.
You have not noticed our sister: she
comes from our cousins, the Wyandots
She is called White Cloud"
The daughters of the Wyandots are
comely,' returned Otter-Lifter, giving
Rosalthe a searching glance white
Cloud Is welcome; she looks like the sis

ed Starlight. coldly.
MAY no cloud larger than that ever
come between Otter-Lifter and Star
Light" replied the chief, pointing to
Rosalthe.

with warmth.
Otter-Lifter turned away with a smile,
and the maidens passed on to the lodge
near the center of the village. The lodge
was a large one, divided into two COM

from the top, and secured at the bottom

But, my good Andrew, this misfor-
tune of mine should not interrupt our

that perhaps it would be better to humor

negro. Oar moon am sailin' in de skies. y

Dat am berry good" quoth Andrew,
much pleased with the lines.
Listen" continued the Frenchman:
'I'll assist you TO compose some lines on
Dinah's eyes, if you'll just let me out of
this ridiculous place. Poetry is the sure
road to the female heart Andrew, you
are a poet and a man of feeling"
Yes, I know dat" said the negro,
highly gratiied by the compliment to his
head and heart.
The fact of the case is. that am
vilely slandered and villainously ira
duced. 1t is necessary in order to vim
dictate my character, that l should es-
cape this block house. Now it seems to
me, that a man of your sensibilfty must
pity me, more especially when l assure
you that l will give you a handsome
sum of money for your services
Money! exclaimed Andrew. eagerly.

Andrew readily.

Home Instinct in Cattle.

There are 5000 head OF cattle run
ming loose in the Pinal basin of Ari-
IONA, and they are owned by twenty
men. Each animal has a brand on his
hip as broad as ham, and crops, bits
and underhacks galore in his ears. Be
yond these marks of ownership he is as
free as deer, and should he so elect
could wander from the Mexican Dor
der to the Canadian line without run
ming up against 4 barbed wire fence
Yet such is the simple nature of cat
tie that they use" in the country
where they are born, and only the ut
most stress of wind and weather will
suffice to drive them away They are
home folks" and stick to their barren
canyons and water holes with all the
devotion of untutored rural man. The
calf runs with his mother and learns
her ways, which become his ways. 1t
is upon this home instinct that the
practice of Western cattle raising rests

scribing some of his experience in Cen

many of the medicine men had been
