The method Of loshnt and lotka was

General Catkoff. The wild bandits of
Manchuria, who respect no govern

tic sentiment consists In the fact that
they would rather kill a Russian than
any oIne' foreign devil, were arous-

go up that river unless escorted by
a troop of cavalry. Moreover 1t was
the duty of every man about the boat
to remain by the Princess side. Re

Toward morning they stuck on the
sand again, in a wide part Of the
river, with dense forests on either
bank. The steamer drifted about and
blocked up narrow channel through
which they were attempting to pass
The sand came level with the surface
Of the water on either hand. The
captain tried in vain all the expedients
known on the Amur: he attempted to
lift the boat around by means Of q

he sent the anchor up stream and
essayed to dray her through bodily, by
means Of the MINDLESS; he added 10

"Excellently, thank you! But hope

the channel and lodged against the

of the village of Kumanskaya. Would
that I had known he was going! If
anything happens to him, his sweet
heart shall never know want while
live. That thought might have COM
forted him."
Hardy made no reply, but stood
silent, watching and listening. He
even moved few steps away from
the Princess, fearing that, by talking
10 her, instead of keeping guard, he
might be imperiling her life. After a
few moments, she came to his side
again, whispering:
Had you not better go below and
sleep while you can? can watch as
well and you will want to be strong,
if there is fighting to be done. My
cousin is sleeping; he could no longer
keep awake He had not closed his
eyes for four days. All, blessed Vir-
gin! WHAT'S that?"
A light flashed and went out thirty
or forty yards below, and Immediately
a blazing object described an arc
through the air and fell on the deck
not far from their feet. One glance
was enough to show that the object
was an arrow which, freighted with
scme highly inflammable material,
was sticking upright in the deck and
burning like a candle. 1t cast con-
siderable light Hardy leaped to
of the Cossack soldiers anticipated
him and threw the blazing missile in
to the river. Just as he was in the
! act Of selling it, several shots rang
out and the man was slightly wound
ed in the arm, as was discovered later,
for the brave fellow made no outcry
at the time The general sprang 10

arm and turned her toward the
gangway, speaking kindly but firmly
to her
''Da, da!" she replied. and left the
deck.
The fir-t arrow was but the precur.
sor of shower of twenty or more,
the majority of which either passed
far over the vessel or fell short, thus
| proving that the accuracy of the first
shot had been largely the result Of
| a lucky guess. Even boat. though
| it be a big mark, is hard thing to
hit in the dark. And this flight OF
arrows established one thing, namely:
the Chinese were attacking from only
| two sides, from below and from Man,
churia. The water, indeed, was toe
| deep above and on the Siberian side
for them to approach by wading. The
entire band of defenders was on the
alert now, and the general was giving
orders that Hardy, of course, could
not understand.

United States Supreme Court Hears

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS inc
Great Western.
Washington, April 18.-The supreme
court heard arguments yesterday in
the case of the Interstate commerce
commission, appellant, VS.. the Chicago
Great Western Railws.y company, ct
al, respondents. This is case Of
much Importance to Iowa; involving
rates on live stock and dressed meats
and packing house products to Chicago
from points west of Chicago, and par
ticularly from ST. Paul and Missouri
river points, Sioux City, Omaha, st.
Joseph and Kansas City.
The controversy arose on, complaint
to the commission of the Chicago Live
Stock exchange.
The commission, following the COM
plainJ, made an order directing the
Great Western to desist from the rates
complained of, holding that there was
unlawful relation of product rates and
live stock rates.
The case went to the courts and the
circuit court for the northern district
of Illinois sustained the railroad COM
pany, holding the claim that prefer
ence was given to the prepared pro-
ducts over live stock by making rates
on the former lower than on the lat
ter was not reasonable, and also that
no determinations were sncwn, such
as are forbidden by the Ell1jns act.
Story of the Difficulty.
The difficulty dates back to an old
ruling of the commission in the live
stock and packing house products con-
troversy that rates on meat products
from Missouri river points to Chicago
should not be lower than rates on live
stock. But in 1902 the Great Western
made a contract with Missouri river
packers in pursuance of which its rates
on products from Kansas City and st.
Joseph to Chicago were reduced with
out my reduction in rates on live
stock.
| Other roads were forced to follow
suit The complaint of the Chicago
live stock exchange was that the live
stock rates were unreasonable in
themselves and that by reason of this
reduction in the products rates without
Lreducing live stock rates. the live

CHAPTER XVII. (continued)

That evening Hardy watched glor-
ious sunset with the Princess. glanc-
ing furtively now and then at the
rapt, beautiful face. the great blue
eyes dilated, the pretty mouth slightly
opened with wonder. The sun was
hidden behind pile of dark clouds
banked against the west. Below these
and the horizon line was wide rib
bon Of bright safffon into which the
disk suddenly dropped, ball Of
changing radiance, dull gold, burnish-
ed copper, glowing orange. Just
as 1t disappeared. it became con-
Migration, the flames of which flared
out, leaving the clouds rolling up as
smoke. The saffon ribbon was now
edged with a narrow strip Of gleam-
ing quicksilver, the clouds at the left
glowed with indescribable beauties Of
purple an 1orange, while those bank
ed above cleaned through their riffs
with such fires as burn in the tran
sparencies of an opal The Princess
sighed and her eyes sought those of
the American, and thus those two
stood for a moment, looking at each
other in silence.
II think" she said at last, "that
there are no such gorgeous sunsets
any where in the world as here on our
Amur. Nest ce pas, Monsieur"
"This is certainly the most beau
tiful have ever seen," he replied with
conviction
But though the sun had set, the
light did not fade from the sky, and
at nine o'clock the people on the
steamer could read without difficulty.
And now the river itself became q
ribbon OF lilac laid fluttering on the
dark green Of the field ribbon Of
lilac that slowly faded, while the de-
ers. mingling their fragrant breaths on
ceptible.
The hills sloped abruptly to the
waters edge, and their pine-covered
sides were sharply reflected in the
river below.
The grinding and EARRING of the lit
tie steamer on the sand was now a
matter Of hourly occurrence. Occas-
ionally large river boat would be
passed, high-foundered and dry, either
deserted or occupied by few passen-
gers, patiently waiting for the water
to rise. Many rowboats drifted by,
laden with more fortunate people, go
ing with the swift current rather than
against it. To these the captain shout
ed continually:
How is the water in the Shilka? %
And ever came the same reply,
Failing, slowl..- falling"
At midnight they ran upon sand
bank and 4.u such difficulty getting
off that Hardy Thought they were
s ucL for good. 1t was necessary to
wake up the passengers, with the ex-
ception of her Highness, the Princess,
and drive them all over to one side of
the boat, to list her. After an hour
Of most exciting work, during which
the captain dashed forward and back
on the bridge, gesticulating with his
entire body and shouting like mad
man, they got off and were under way
again, only to make another hours
stop for wood This time, as before
a bewiskered muzhik was sitting on
the bank by farfng fire. He could
be seen very distinctly from great
distance, and as the steamer approach
ed, the officer in command shouted at
him again and again. The soundness
with which he was sleeping, with
head upon breast and arms folded up
on knees, gave rise to considerable
amusement among such of the pas.
