who fastened away, as she heard the
bell from Frau Degenhardt's room.
We'll, how will it end? Oh, our
principal will not take her!" To that
we all agreed. But behold, we were
mistaken; the lady in velvet and furs
re-entered the coach alone, and rode
away; and at supper a new com
| panion, No. 10, was introduced and
took her place next to Frau Degen-
Lardt who spoke very kindly to her.
She was a slender maiden of seven
teen; her blonde hair was gathered i'll
tight coil at the back of her head,
giving no indication of the wealth of
golden tresses concealed there. A few
which sloped gracefully down to the
| dark eyebrows arching over a pair of
| large, deep-set eyes, which seemed
out of keeping with this youthful face;
; so sadly did they look out on the
world. When the somewhat heavy
| lids were lowered, the delicate
features, resembled those of a child,
| so gentle was the expression Of the
small pouting mouth, SO fresh the
! fair complexion, so full the rounding
! of the cheeks. When the long lashes
were raised, then the strange gray
orbs told of sorrow, and care with
! fearful eloquence. She was called
JaschG, and spoke German with a pc
culiar accent; her soft, rolling 81 be-
ing inexpressibly attractive to me.
Frau Degenhardt, who usually won
our hearts in a few weeks, even the
most reserved, so that we were all
devoted to her with an enthusiastic
affection, seemed to make no i'm
preston on this new pupil. Jascha
was always quiet, and her conduct
never gave rise to occasion for re-
proof, but she never for a moment
threw off her reserve, and our warm,
girlish friendships, our whispered
condolences, and merry laughter, our
important airs over innocent mys-
teries. our playful disputes and jokes
seemed to be things which she could
not understand, and for which she
had no desire. We soon gave up try
ling to win her over, and called her

Higher Education
Below the Equator
Peru Has University Older than Harvard and Every

cumstance that has often surprised
visitors from Latin America is thaI
the national capital of this country
ably the educational capital. In prac
tically every country of South or Cen
trail America a national institution OF
the higher education affords to stu,
dents from the various provinces op-
portunities to make use, under the
guidance of teachers of scholarly at
tainments, of the libraries, museums,
scientific collections and other govern
mental facilities.
Consequently, Spanish-speaking OBJ
servers are astonished that Washing
ton, with Libraries and museums such
as no oSuth American Ian can hope
to duplicate has, until very recently,
never had anything approaching the
character of a national university.
Particularly, because up to this time
we Americans have paid compare
lively little attention to intoxicating
the sciences of government such as
diplomacy, international law and
Jurisprudence right at the seat of
government where students can see
the actual processes of administra-
ton, for this reason they have felt
that in at least one respect the
North American republic is distinctly
behind the sister republics of the
other side of the equator. The opin,

Far from the turmoil and hustle of
a great capital in small town on
the borders of a beautiful forest, Is
located select pension for young
ladies between the ages of fifteen
and eighteen, where they not only en-
joyed instruction in literature and
conversation, as well as music and
art, but also were enabled to study
the beauties of nature, and thus
strengthen mind and body in the pure,
eXhilarating air.
Do not picture to yourself strict
institute where one was forced to sit
firmly on a stiff school bench all day
long: we were all grown up; two of
us already bethrothed-Lena Becken-

care of our amiable principal, and the
fresh, invigOrating forest air; thus

1t was really so, for in a few mo-

Degenhardt would receive the ladies.
Our principal ordered them to be
shown into her private room, and now
we all sat as curious as sparrows. for

Mr.. Frear Explains,

"A word in explanation may be
added" said Mr.. Frear, in giving out
the result of the meeting. Last
year, in addition to renting the
state taxes one-half of the amount of
THE school tax reaching $600,00000
was paid out of the state treasury to
the different counties of the state,
passed on the school population. A
substantial balance has been main
tanned in the treasury owing to un-
usual receipts which cannot be ex-
pected next year. At the last session
of the legislature, largely increased
appropriations were made which to-
gether with the usual expenses of the
new capitol building will exceed the
state receipts.
at is estimated the balance in the
state treasury if a full tax levy was
made would be over S800000.00 Jan.
| /, 1909. For this reason the direct
capi,o building tax of $450,000.00 has
been RENTED and will be paid out OF
the balance on hand. No tax will be
levied for the $150,000.00 authorized
to be paid from the state treasury for
building purposes in addition to the
$450,00000 The expenses also Of the
charitable and penal institutions,
amounting to nearly $1,000,000, in adj
dition to all expenses for running
| the different departments of the state
will be paid out of the estimated in
come received from the railways, in
surance companies, and general fees,
without any direct tax being levied.
at is estimated a balance OF over
$3.50, 100000 will be on hand Jan. !,
1909, with which to meet the expenses
of the new legislative session. This
balance may be increased to half a
million dollars by that time. In max
ing this estimate the commission has
set aside approximately $1,000, 100000
for new capitol construction during
the coming year"

RENTS $4,000.

Estimated That Failure to Levy on
Taxpayers for General Expenses Of
State Will Leave $S5o.ooo in the
Golfers of the Commonwealth Jan,

Madison, Oct. IA.

Madison, Oct IA. I
The taxpayers of the state of Wis
consin will not be required to con-
tribute to the building of the new
capitol through direct taxation. At
least not this year. Governor David
son, Secretary of State Frear and
State Treasurer Dahl, sitting as a
state board of assessment today,
formally decided to remit so much of
the state tax as would equal that au-
thorized to be collected for the pur-
pose of building the capitol, being
$450,000. Because of the money now
on hand and the cash that VIII come
in during the year, it will be unneces-
sary to levy any general expense tax,
unless it be to pay the interest on
state debts, some $3.50 1t is as
sured that there will not be a dollar
collected to build the capitol or pay
the other large running expenses Of
tie state as authorized by legislative
appropriations.
The formal action taken by the
board is set forth in the following
preambles and resolution which was
adopted:
Formal Resolution.
Whereas, it appears that on the
! first day of October, 1907. there was
in the general fund a balance of ST.
30 ,14464, and,
Whereas, it is estimated that there
will be a balance in said general fund
on January LIST, 1908, of 83714464,
and
Whereas, it is estimated that the
receipts to said general fund during
1908 will be $4997, $4,000, and
Whereas, it is estimated that the
disbursements for all purposes for the
year 1908 will be SEATS, 925.00, and
Whereas, The state tax to be levied
for the ensuing year for capitol build
ing amounts to $3.50 100000, and
Whereas, said sum of $450,00000
can, without detriment to the public
service, be used from the general
fund without the levy OF a state tax
for such purpose,
Now, the. sfore, be it resolved that
we, the undersigned, governor, secre=
| tary of state and state treasurer, in
pursuance of section 1069a of the
Wisconsin statutes of 1898, do hereby
apply from the surplus in the general
fund the sum of $450,0OO.O0 for CAPT.
toll building purposes,
And that no state tax be levied for
the above purpose for the ensuing
year.
''In witness whereof, we have here
unto set our hands and caused the
great seal of the state of Wisconsin
to be affixed. Done at the capitol in
the city of Madison this 18th day of
october, A. n. 1907.

The clipper Osceola was within a

The first mate. John Hutchins, was

the vessel he was liable to be slid over

this was equivalent to going overheard

The man addressed looked up with
an ashen face. There had been bad
blood between him and the first mate

Hutchins intended to put him over

order. which would be mutiny, possibly
punishable with death.
