CHAPTER XIV.
The Explanation of the Rubber Bali

back to the time when Takshan Pasha went
from his daughters room in anger, threaten
ing that her marriage to Haeb Bey should take
place in the near future.
After his departure, Rhasneh, reused by her
anger from the state Of lethargy she had been in
the failure of Tsatsar ab-harern to deliver
her letter to Stephen Weir, sprang up, declar-
ing that she felt sted in the house and must 60 for
walk at once.
Tsatsar-ab-harlem pursuaded her to eat some
thing, and then in short time Rhasneh and her
retinue used to sudden commands were ready
and went forth.
AS they passed the Mavrocorthato villa, Xeny,
her sister Kalliopy, and their governess were COM
ing out. Rhasneh did not like Kalliopy Even at
twelve years of age, she resembled of the older
daughters, Madame Valiono, who had married for
position and wealth. contrary to the inclination of
her heart, and who had felt more pride than sorrow
when her cousin had killed himself on her wedding
day, for love of her. This really fair
for disliking Kalliopy but it was operative with
Rhasneh, who, on the other hand, loved Xeny for
her resemblance to Chrysanthy and her mother.
"Oh, Xeny, yaOroum!" Rhasneh called.
Aeny ran up, executed swift courtesy, and kissed
the yelled maiden.

Xeny danced along beside Rhasneh II am so
out of hearing of the governess and her sister, be
cause now can talk about my lovely sister Chrys-
anthy. They have forbidden to say her name
at home, and am sad that she is away"
II am sad, too Rhasneh said, speaking in
English, in order that none of her slaves might
understand. .'Chrysanthy was going. to help me to
attain something without which shall be miserable

anthy, my dear Chrysanthy, is dead, too-and
then think shall die myself"
No, you must not die yourself" Rhasneh urged
earnestly; for your sister Chrysanthy is not dead
she is beloved by good man whom She loves, and
only am left sorrowing alone
$A DO you love good man, too?" Xeny

Xeny looked out anxiously the
water, then suggested hopefully, Perhaps
he has tied Haleb Bey to rock and
y thrown him in
I hope he has," Rhasneh said lugubri-
ously
They assembled little hill and sat down

out of the conversation by reason of their

A Hint to Smokers,

In an article on the hygiene of smok.
ing published In the Munich Medical
Weekly by DR.. j. Bamberger he says
the injury that may follow the use Of
tobacco differs with the manner Of
smoking. Those who use a mouthpiece,
or, IL not, are careful not to keep the
end of the cigar saturated with saliva,
are much less apt to suffer from the
absorption of the various products of
the burning tobacco. DRY smokers
run much less risk of harming them
selves than those who chew the ends
Of their cigars. DR.. Bamberger sug-
gests that d bit Of absorbent cotton
saturated with chloride of iron be plac-
ed in the holder. and he claims by do.
ing this some of the harmful products
Of combustion are rendered innocuous.

THE PALM.
II Plays an Important Part In Life
and I'm Law In CeylOn.

When a traveller gets his first sight
Of a palm grove he does not easily for
get 1t. He sees the trees springing up,
as 1t were, from the water in which
their shadows are reflected. Besides
being beautiful ornaments to q land
scape these palms are among the most
useful gifts which nature has given to
the inhabitants Of tropical islands. In
supplying actual necessities and In the
number Of useful purposes to which 1t
can be applied bamboo takes first rank,
but the palm comes next. To many Of
the people Of Ceylon the %cocoanut trees
are everything, and their very lives de-
pend upon them. The tree supplies
most Of their wants, besides giving
them valuable commercial products.
In this island there are estimated to
be nearly 20,000.0O0 palm trees, and
among the poorer classes a mans
wealth Is estimated by the number Of
trees he owns. They form the most i'm
portant asset Of his estate and by will
are generally divided among his fam
lily. AS one of the important traits Of
the Cingalese Is his love Of litigation,
one can readily see what an important
part the palm tree plays In h law
cases there. There Is q case on record
In which the two thousand five hun
dred and twentieth part Of n grove,
containing only ten trees. was the sub
ject Of dispute. One Of the greatest
difficulties which the engineers had to
encounter in building a railroad across
the island was to determine the owner
ship of the palm trees. The ramifca-
lions Of relationships and the fraction
al claims set up were most difficult
to understand and disentangle.

A MILITARY EXECUTION.
Il II q Most Impressive and Dramatic
Ceremony.

SGEeknUhys
"The solemnity Of a military execu
ton Is about the most impressive and
dramatic act that Is known In human
affairs" said an old army officer.
II had a young friend in California
who enlisted In the Union army at the
same time with myself, and, coming
east, we were placed in the same com
pany. This young fellow fell In love
with a Virginia girl and under her In
fuence deserted to the enemy. A few
DAYS afterward he was captured and,
being easily recognized, was condemn
ed to be shot. He had fought like n
demon In the engagement which result
ed in his being made n prisoner, for he
knew well what his fate would be II
taken. His execution was the most
mournful ceremony ! eve witnessed,
and nothing ever seen on the stage
was more theatrical-the procession to
the scene of death, the band In advance
playing a dirge, the coffin, with the
prisoner sitting upon 1t; the guard In
the rear and a brigade Of cavalry form
ed in a hollow square. The condemned
man, sitting on his coffin, met his fate
like a hero, without exhibiting a ire
NOR of fear, and those who witnessed his
death were Far more excited than he.
1t seemed n sad thing that such a cour
ageous lad should be sacrificed, but 1t
is one of the necessities Of war, and
this terrible punishment was necessary
to deter others from playing the role
Of traitor. Washington Post.

ALL RESOURCES WERE Ex-
HAUSTED-TRIAL FOR LIFE

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 10.-The
final stage of the courtmartial of

the proceedings will go ahead rapid
ly.
General Stoessel is accused of hav-
ing surrendered the fortress at Port
Arthur before he had exhausted all
the resources of defense. The pun
ishment for this, under the Russian
code, is death. He is to be tried also
on the charge of lacking initiative
and with having exceeded his pow
ers. General Fook and General Reiss
are Codefendants with him, The first
is accused of having conspired the
surrender of the fortress and the sec
ond with having executed the order
of surrender General Smirnoff,

my, is to be tried on minor count.
The court will be composed of nine
members. 1t will include Generals
Kuropatkin, Bilderling, Myloff ana
oters. General Garsky will be judge
advocate. General Stoessel will be
defended by Deputy Syrtlanoff and
Col Veliamoff The trial is exciting

General Stoessel, who has suffered
two paralytic strokes since the fall
of the fortress, is in a pitiable state
of excitement over the final hearing
of the case. a4 Es s, ET~
