afternoon when Mr.. Lynn Yeames was
announced. / slipped the papers In

He had the decency to assume limp,
albeit he had come over on horseback.
"I want to see Mr.. FleUmore's will,
he began after brusquely nodding sal
utation. -
THE will itself is not in the ONCE
said I /; '.but you can see the draft from
which that will was drawn up" And 1
fetched from a tin box that precious
draft.
He knew the sight of it at once, and
holding it in his hand, he looked steadily
at me through his half-closed eyes, with
his lips firmly set, and his brows knitted
as though he were saying TO himseit
"Yol confounded old vagabond y
"Supposing ! am prepared to swear
that this is not Flexmore's last willT'
"in that case, might be compelled
to prove that It is"
"How would you DO thatT'

"Now tell me,r said he presently, why
you led me to suppose that this f1rst Will
was favorable to me, and the second an
tagonistic. Tell me that :.
Because" said I, ''it is professional
rule to conceal ones clients affairs from
those who seek to discover them, and De-
cause 1 saw no harm to my client In al
lowing you to form any conclusion you
pleased, and by whatever means you
chose. That Is the rule as regards
lawyer and his client. But there pro-
fessional delicacy ends. II a lawyer 10
acquainted with a secret of person NOT
his client, he may conceal it or publish
II as circumstances direct"
That completely disconcerted him-un-
duly as it seemed to me then, for i was
only thinking of the mean and under
hand manner in which he had sought TO
learn Flexmore's testamentary intentions.
II never entered my head wish 1t had
that his anxiety related to that paper
pellet he had lost.
He looked at me, then at the table, as
he fiicked IL with his riding whip; then
at me again; finally as If uncertain as to
the extent Of my meaning, and to prove
it, he said:
"Supposing I gave you a laundering
good horsewhipping, as you deserve, what
would you do?'
"Bring an action for damages Ike q
shot" said /.
He drew long breath. and there was
visible sign of relief in his expression. :.

said my servant, coming to the door.

was more gorgeous and magnificent
than ever before and was witnessed
by thousands Of Americans and Euro
peans.
The recent visit Of the American
tieet has brought about a new era Of
good feeling toward Americans and
all things sayoring of Yankeedom,
and the governmental officials are
showing especial attention to visitors
from the United States. This feeling
also extends to the populace. Ameri-
cans are treated with the greatest
consideration by tradesmen and 9TH
ers and even the little children in
the streets salaam humbly whenever
an Ameri. an appears. Many English
and European tourists call them
selves Americans in order to share
In this hospitality.
The mikado of Japan, Mutsu-hito,
was born November 8, 1852, at KY
OTTO. He succeeded his father, Konei
Tenno. February IS, 1867 and was
married to Princess Haruko, daugh-
ter of Prince Ichijo, on February 8,
1869. She was born May 2S,
1850, and seven children, three prin-
ces and four princesses, have been
the result of the union.
1t is the claim of the Japanese
that their empire was founded in eco
B. G. by the first emperor, Jimmu,
and that his family still reigns
Some time in the 18th century,
however, there was a break In the
dynasty, and the throne passed to
other families, who continued to hold
it until 1868, when the present
sovereign, after a short war, over
threw the power of the Shotgun. The
sovereign bears the title of Kotei, or
emperor, although he is generally
known throughout foreign countries
as the mikado, or THE Honorable
Gate"

On next Monday night the manage
ment of the Park pavilion has an
attraction that has created the great

namely the newest thing in plays,

been confined to New York and

an instaneous success everywhere.
In Seattle, Spokane, Portland and
every city throughout the country the
stock theaters have broken all rec
ords for attendance with it.
The company has been carefully

Tucker. and no better or stronger
actress has visited the coast in years,
Mr.. White Brandon, also a sterling
actor will be seen In the name part.
"The Devil"
The New York Evening Journal
says of the play: 1.-The Devil is
the champagne Of modern comedy,
extra dry-it is indeed the very word,
flesh and the devil of today-with-
out poetry, without optism, with
nothing short of sheer deviltry and
diabolical wit, 1t strips two conven-
tional persons of their conventional
safeguards and sends them straight
to hell. 1t does this artistically,
fascinatingly, and with the keenest Of
all excitement-mental excitement
It is clever to the end Never have
we seen this kind of Satan--so
brilliantly impertinent, so fashion
ably bad-mannered. so witty. so
casual and yet so deadly"
The version OF the play to be pre-
sented by Miss Tucker and Mr.. Bran
don, is the authorized one, and will
be mounted superbly with special
effects and gorgeous costumes.
