Not one word did this strange man
lcntly, seized the ak lying at his feet
and went straight among the trees,
keeping his face turned from Iris 50
that she might not see the tears in his
eyes.
AS for the girl, she began to scour
her cooking utensils with much Ell
ergy and soon commenced q song. Con
sidering that she was compelled to con-
stantly endure the company of a de-
graded officer, who had been expelled
from the service with ignoTniny, she
was absurdly contented. Indeed. with
the happy inconsequence OF youth, she
quickly threw all care TO the winds and
devoted her thoughts to planning a
surprise for the next day by preparing
some tea. provided she could surrepti-
.iously open the chest.

Long afterward he remembered the

was not a man to finch from conse-
Quences. Miss Deane must be taught
to despise him, else-God help them

his goal, as men always blunder where
a woman's heart is concerned, he blind
~ persisted in allowing her to make
such false deductions as she chose
from his words.
Iris was the first to regain some
measure Of self control.

Although the Hakanbeck Circus

robatic, high-wire, equestrian and 9th

trained wild beast performances, yet
they bear more or less of a similarity

How many of their most famous

only be surmisCd that Fakirism is a
slight of body, as we'll as of hand,
and that their performances are not
an occult science. There are many,
however, including Mr.. Kipling him

Il is a fact, in India, that what you

Women Have often Fought In De-
Tense of Their Native Towns.
During the oppression of the Neither
lands by the Spaniards in the sixteenth
century it was no uncommon event for
women to fight In defense Of their ma
tive town. When in 1872 Don Frederic

Harlem, among the garrison that de-
Tended the town We're 800 m
Their chief was q widow of distin-
guished family, about forty-seven years
Of age, who, at the head of her anna
IONS, participated in many Of the most
iercely contested actions Of the siege.
Seven years later, at the siege Of
Maestricht, the women were Of great
assistance in making mines, enrolling
themselves into companies under the
direction Of officers, or ''mine mis-
tresses," as they were called. The serv-
Ice they rendered vas inestimable.
At the repulse of the Spaniards from
the walls of Alkmaar women and even
children showed a like courage, assist
ing their husbands and fathers in the
desperate defense. History, indeed,
gives many examples of such heroism,
among which may be mentioned the
brave conduct of the women at the de-
Tense of Sarragossa in 1908, when they
took the place Of their slain husbands
or brothers at the cannon side.-Black-

did he consider defeat to be that he

the French that they refused these
terms. The result was one of To most
brilliant victories that adorn TIE Brit.

In modern times the victory Of An
