"Oh, Dicky, Dicky, what a bully little minister you have spoiled! Sit down. young man, and let me tell you one thing soberly." He half dragged, half pushed Richard to seat upon the bench and stood above him. resting two plump hands upon his shoulders. The laughter now was gone, and in its place. came wondrous tenderness. My boy" he said, I'd rather have seen you as you stood just now than as the owner of all deep water har- bors that were ever dredged. You came here to win Harriet. and you're going to get her if I have to sit on Jacob Renwyck while you run off with the girl on Hawk-a la Lochin- var. God bless you, boy. IT love you for what you said, and now I'm going to tell you something else"
 Once more the merriment tWinkled In the little gimlet eyes whose owner held his sides and shook from shoe to collar button. Richard waited patient ly for Uncle Michael to speak. but that gentleman sat puffing his cigar and ap- parently studying the momentous ques- tion in all its lights and bearings
 Dick he said abruptly, you have got yourself into q nice mess, haven't you? It's Up to you to do something original. Any ideas on the subject"
 "Yes,' said Richard; I'm going to MT Renwyck this evening and make a clean breast of it. It's the only thing I can do."
 MT. Corrigan whistled softly.
 After which brilliant move I dare say you will apply for board in the state insane asylum"
 Any place will do for me after that" admitted the unfortunate ad- yenturer
 You would find it's inmates congen- ial after you followed that course, am sure, but if I were in your place I'd do nothing of the kind'
 "Why not?'
 ''For various reasons. In the first place, what good will 1t do? Would you then be in q position to tell your father? No; you see that clearly for yourself. You will be invited to leave Jrvington and will accept the invita- ton promptly. Thus endeth the first lesson. Miss Harriet Renwyck being the principal subject matter. Mir. Ja- cob Renwyck will then institute pro ceedings against one Bill Williams for obtaining information by fraud in the person of his son.
 But, my dear sir cried Dick, with some asperity, T had no such inten- fion, l assure you. The information was-well it was forced on me"
 Aha" exclaimed the old lawyer knowingly That's just the delicate point. I'm speaking legally. Of course you're innocent You know it, and I believe it. but how about a jury of your peers: To put it bluntly, you have taken the name of a wounded and helpless man without his knowl edge or consent You have bribed his servant. Bad point, Dick-very bad. Then vou creen into confiding old Yentleman's house and worm away the secrets of his inmost heart. The al. legged pursuit of the girl is merely a blind 10 cover your deep laid, crafty, nefarlous designs, which,
 Hold on, for Gods sake!" vehement ly protested Richard, appalled, at the revelation of his perfidy by the law yer's merciless logic, which was about as hard to bear as if 1t had been truthful indictment. Don't put 1t that way! You make me feel like an actual criminal. Next I'll be stealing their cut glass and silver hairbrushes."

ed till his plump sides could stand the strain no more. Rarely had he passed so amusing and delightful a wealthy old bachelor, and the com i edy had come to him in the shape of godsend. He liked what he had seen of the young man immensely, and he was prepared to like him more for his fathers sake, but he determined to make him suffer as much as possible in payment for his reckless assurance. i Besides, he had another end in view, the success of which depended largely upon the son of his old friend Bill Will. Hams. Every feature of the game was joy to his merry heart, and in order to watch its progress he determined to be a frequent visitor at Restmore, which promised to belle it's name and become troubled spot, after all. Ris- ing from the bench at last, he cut across lots toward his own home, half mile away, measuring every stride with sort of chuckling pedometer.
 Meanwhile Richard followed the law yer's counsel, not only as to closing his mouth with regard to MT. Renwyck, but as to opening it without delay with regard to Mir. Renwyck's daugh- ter. This at least was his intention, but he found himself once more disap- pointed. Miss Harriet was in her fa- vorite seat on the lawn, with an open book resting in her lap. Richards foot falls made no sound on the soft green turf. and, unconscious of his approach, before he was within hailing distance she arose abruptly and went into the house. He followed her forthwith, but just as he reached the veranda steps a sprightly little figure bounced out and greeted him effusively. Needless to say. it was not Miss Renwyck Miss ImOgene Chttendon was more fluffily irritating to the adventurer than usual. Her motions, like her manner of speech, were nervous and spasmodic, not un. like the movements of humming bird

The Chancellor pointed out to the meet

bloc parties on national issues 90 form a
working basis. Therefore he did pot be-
lieve that useful work could be lone by the
leaders. He suggested that the Reichstag
be p~rorOgued for one day TO see whether
an agreement was possible.
Prince Won BuelOw said that if an agree
ment were not reached he would have to
consider his own action. This ia taken to
mean that he would retire from the Chan
cellOrship.
The Reichstag, in plenum, then simply
ratified the proposal and dispersed. Here

Special cable Dispatches TO THE Sun

Special cable Dispatches to TBE SYN.
TOXIC, Dec. A.-The Ministry of Foreign
Affairs explains that V%iscount Aoki, Am
bassador to the United States, was recalled
az his own request. and that the recall coin
cides with diplomatic changes at Berlin and
Pekin.
The matter is ostensibly so interpreted
here. but better opinion assigns the change
to purely personal reasons. Rumors Of
ViscOunt Aoki's recall have been persistent
since the sending to President Roosevelt
last winter of the alleged ultimatum regard
ing III segregation Of Japanese school
children in San FranciscO.
At that time a high diplomat. who is not
an American, explained that there was a
disposition in certain Toxic circles to hold
Viscount Aoki responsible for the trouble.
which. il was said. was due to friction be-
tween him and the present Ministry Of
Foreign Affairs. Such is now the better
opinion in we'll informed circles. where Wis
count Aoki'5 official relations are charac-
terized as awkward. He is strong willed,
and. belonging, as he docs, to the older
generation Of statesmen. he has apparently
regarded the officials Of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs as his juniors.
The Hochi tonight says that viscount
Aoki is unpopular in official circles because
Of his disposition to act Independently. and
that he has often exceeded or disregarded
his instructions.
Those who are best informed assert that
the theory that his recall is the prelude to
a change in the Japanese policy toward
America is absolutely false.

HAVANA. Dec. IN. K~irschoffer, a
Frsnchman. who is said 10 be the worlds
champion fencer, sailed for Mexico to-day.
leaving behind him a number of indignant
Cubans, including Ramon Fonts, the Cuban
fencing champion. whose reputation ex-
tends q Europe. M. Kirschoffer refused,
after a quarrel over the terms of a fencing
match. TO fight Fonts in a due in Cuba. but
he offered to pay the latter's transportation
to Mexico and fight him there with naked
swords. Fonts is still here.
Kirschoffer asserted that he received an
Oder of 81 800 to come here and fence with
three men. including Fonts. who made
ridiculous stipulations and was afraid.
ThereupOn Fonts sent Orestes Ferrara,
who was ousted from his position az secre-
tary Of the Cuban delegation to the Hague
Conference because of his Anarchist lean
ings, with a challenge TO k~irscholer. The
latter refused to fight Fonts here. but made
che proposition above mentioned.
Ferrara considered himself insulted and
wanted to fight a duel himself with Kirsch-
offer. The latter refused TO meet him on
the ground that he (KirschoTcr) was 81 pro-
fsssor. and therefore, according 10 the
code. could only fight with men OF the same
class. Kirschofsr freely expressed his
disgust with Cuban sports and lett Cuba
