The new minister was speaking en-
Enthusiastically, yearning to move this
lethargic people. The boy listened
with face alight Through the long
hours of his childhood he had sat
in the sunshine and dreamed of great
deeds. With the awakened i'm
pulses of youth, he had tramped the
forests and wondered what life meant
to the men who we're not of the noun
tains. And now he knew, for the
minister was voicing the doctrine of
endeavor. 1t was not emotion that
made the world better, but energy;
one must not only dream, but one
must do. The great men we're those
who were faithful in the little things.
Remember that tonight we make
merry" he said. finally. but in the
year to come we must wOrk-work
for the souls that are within the
fold; and as the shepherd cares for
his sheep. so must we care for those
who are astray
"As the shepherd cares for his
sheep" The words struck the boy
with the force OF a blow. He half
rose in his seat, but the girl reached
out a restraining hand.

boy looked at her with unseeing
eyes.

when the boy unlocked 1t.
Inside was a rude fireplace, and
wood was piled beside it. The boy
built a great fire, and the flock, re-
treating before the blaze, lay down
on the trodden straw with soft sounds
of content. Then the boy brought
in two weak ewes, and laid them
close to the flames, and watched
them anxiously until they revived and
staggered back to their fellows.
For a long time after that the boy
sat in front of the fire and thought
of the girl. She would go home with
his rival, and they would part at
the door. The boys face flushed
and his hand clenched as he thought
of the parting. Would She

done his duty, and she had not I'M

over him.

by fire Friday involving a loss Of

a defective fiue. The building was

down the mountain. The sun shone

world sparkled after the storm. When

Toxic, Dec. 4.-The probable resig'
nation of Viscount Aoki, Japanese am
bassador to the United States, has
been rumored for some weeks, but the
rumor has been persistently denied.
1t is admitted now, however. that Am
bassador Aoki may return to Japan
at an early day. The foreign office
declines to say If this means the resig-
nation of the ambassador In the
event that Ambassador Aoki decides
not to return to Washington there is
a strong probability that he will be
succeeded by Baron Kaneko, former
special envoy to the United States, or
Baron Chinda, vice minister at the

Mr.. A0KI SUMMONED HOME
Japanese Ambassador Will Explain
Situation to His Government.
His Resignation Has Been Rumored
at Toxic and His Return
is in Doubt.

Washington, Dec. Ambassador
Aoki has been summoned TO Japan by
his government to explain personally
and in detail the precise situation in
this country in regard to the Japanese
immigration problem.
The ambassador has been making
very careful inquiry on his own. ac-
count and through the various consul
lar officers into the extent of the re-
pudiated race feeling existing in some
sections of the United States towards
Japanese immigrants. Already Baron
Ishii, one of the secretaries of the
Japanese interior department, has
made an investigation of conditions
existing not only in California, Oregon
and Washington, but also in British
Columbia on the north, upon which he
has based a special report to his gov
eminent But it is believed that the
purpose of the Japanese government
in summoninS Viscount Aoki to Toxic
is to secure from him information
which Baron Ishii could not possibly
have acquired during his short stay in
America regarding the attitude of the
administration here, with particular
reference to the measures which have
recently been applied by the Japan
ese government to restrist the depar-
ture from Japan for America of the
coolie element. Also the Japanese
government desires prudent fore
cast of the likelihood of congressional
action in the direction of legislation
providing for the exclusion of Japa-
nese immigration.

which contained all his wealth. says a

ship sprang aleak. The crew tried
hard TO keep her afloat by pumping
out the water. The water was coming

though the ship would sink. All at
once. to their great establishment, the
water stopped coming in. and the ship
was pumped dry.
On examination of the bottom of the
vessel it was found that dolphin had

saved them from destruction. Out of

charity school in Bristol, and all the
