celebr6 una entrevista con el jefe de po-
licfa Mr.. Shanton acerca de la investi,
gaci6n practicsda en- Yauco, en- ell des-
graciado suceso de que fue victima Ce.
sar Portillo.
Mr.. Stanton con esa correction en- el
peculiar, puso disposition de nuestro
representante las cartas cruzadas entire
su negociado varios caballeros, quienes
informan en- contra de Portillo y ia
vor del jefe de policia de aquel puesto.
al terminar ell informe y solicitado
por el distinguido jefe Mr.. Stanton,
nuestro representante informo que toda
la Recommendation 81 bien era respectable,
NADIA, absolutamente NADIA, probaba,
puesto que el telegrama que Sc publio6
en- la prensa solo referia no el arreStO, 81
no el modo violento en- que Sc llev6 q
cabo, pues seg1n el corresponsal cincO
guardias y el jefe aporrearon y maitra-
taron de palabra y obra, a un ciudada-
no, por el heoho de alterar la paz pu-
blica en- la plaza de aquel pueblo, segun
Sc desprende del record hecho por ell

dared to go farther than that-and
said: "All right, Muriel, don't worry;
you'll hear from me, and remember the
seventh"
The next heard of Cyril was about
a month later, that being towards the
end of November. He wrote a long
letter, narrating all his shoots and so
on, and then, if you please, ended up
with the following postscript. Don't
forget the 7th of February. l am quite
sure that Monte will be more amusing
than Cairo, unless you particularly
want to go to Egypt. We shall have a
ripping time, and l can't tell you how
I'm looking forward to it."
OF course, had to answer, and like
wise gave him my views on the matter
in a postscript. 1t ran: Don't be an
idiot. 1 hate silly jokes, and don't
even know where I shall be on the
date you mention"
December passed of quickly, Cyril

ing all his arrangements, and sending

all my life, and with it can do things,
without it l can't. Secondly, you are
all alone, and you admit amuse you;
well, then, why shouldn't amuse you
perpetually? Anyhow, you can't really
suppose that I'm going to accept a
negative answer. Why, Muriel, dear,
it's impossible, and if you won't make
up your mind the way l want, then l
am going to do it for you. l propose
we get married on February 7. I'll go
ahead and make all the arrangements,
and it'll just give you time to clear off
your engagements"
l must admit his cheek simply par
alyzen me, and l said: Now, look
here, Cyril, you know l am quite fond
of you, but there is limit even to
friendship. The idea of your daring
to make cold-blooded proposition
like that to me is simply staggering"
He made no direct reply, merely
murmuring some nonsense about
Monte Carlo having points over Cairo
in the month of February. Then he
buttoned up his coat, and said he must
be off; kissed my hand-he's never

HIGHEST CRIMINAL RECORD.
One In Every Five Natives Has Been
in Jail in the Rand.

One In Every Five Natives Has Been
in Jail in the Rand.
According to the recent report of ].
de V. Roos, secretary of the law de-
partment and director of prisons, the
Rand contains more criminals 10 the
thousand Inhabitants than any other
place in the civilized world, the Lon
don corresl ondent of the Philad alphia
Ledger says.
The population Is about 100000.
In 1909 one out of every 245 was con-
victed. These convictions have risen
from 1926 in 1904 to S9,OO5 in 1909.
There were also last year 5,5S5 un-
detected crimes, including 27 murders,
81 cases of arson, IL forgeries and 131
robberies. Arrests for 1909 included
4,335 male whites and S34 women, 91,-
063 colored males and 3,493 colored
women.
The most serious part of the report
is that dealing with the marked in
crease in native crime. Native pris-
oners sentenced by the courts as first
offenders are constantly being recog-
nized as old offenders, nor will this
defect disappear until the finger-print
records as to natives are made univer-
sal. Nominally 9242 per cent of all
criminals of all races are given as
first offenders for the year under re-
view and 75S per cent recidivists.
During the last five years 1S2,6S0
natives have passed through the pris-
ons-roughly, one-flfth of the total ma.
tive population. In other words, the
prison has lost its terrors for the ma
tive. 1t has been made too cheap, and
familiarity breeds contempt for it. 1t
was quite common thing for the ma
tives who had on them money suffi.
cient to pay their fines in petty Of
fenses to select the alternative of the
weeks or fortnight's Imprisonment,
with the usual risk of the native petty
offender being locked up with harden.
ed criminals and educated to 1.!nas.

Friendship among nations does not
spring from the same causes which
promote friendship among individuals
Blood relationship does not assure it.
For century America and England,
similar in race and identical in Ian
guage, were suspicious and irritable
when not openly hostile. Propinquity
does not count for much. France and
England were enemies for centuries,
and France only forgot her hatred for
"perfidious Albion" when she trans
ferred it to another next-door neigh
Dor, Germany Likeness of tempera-
ment, political institutions or religious
belief is not its source else why the
traditional friendship of Russia and
the United States, unlike in every par
ticular, and the famous rivalry be
tween France and Austria, superficial
ly sympathetic, which for hundred
and fifty years after Richelieu estab-
lished it was the central fact of Euro
pean politics? AS matter of fact
national friendships or enmities are
determined not by the people them
selves, but by their governments; not
By reasons Of race or principle, but
by reasons of policy. Commercial or
political rivalry, the preservation of
the balance of power" identity or
divergence of material interests, lie
at the bottom of wars and alliances
alike. That is why England, for cen
turies naturally attracted to German
friendship, is now in strained relations
with the Kaisers empire. 1t accounts
also for her alliance with distant
Japan, who, like herself, is jealous and
suspicious of Russia. The sentimental
admiration for Japan, which reused
the United States to sympathy for her
during the Russian war, already shows
signs of cooling as result of political
conditions. National friendships, then,
are rarely permanent; they shift with
the changing face OF world politics.
But national animosities may be for.
gotten almost as easily, and it is an
encouraging fact that in spite of the
bitterness of modern commercial COM
petition, open hatred between peoples
Is less common than It ever was be-
fore, whereas the goodwill which
shows itself in a readiness to arbitrate
disputes without straining national
amity increases year by year.

Cyril Otterson' proposed to me for
the first time at Henley regatta. We
were in a Canadian canoe, and Cyril
pleaded his cause passionately into my
left ear in the intervals between push
ing boats and punts out of our path.
Why he chose such a ridiculous time
l have never understood, and I found
1t exceedingly difficult to convey my
answer to him with the decision and
clearness l should have liked-that an
swer being decided negative.
A widow of 23, with tidy income,
never lacks admirers of sort; add
certain amount of good looks, which l
know, without conceit, / possess, and
men become a positive nuisance.
mo, Cyril, DEAR" l said, Il really
couldn't. You know like you awful
ly, and, what's more, you amuse me,
and, of course, we shall always be pals.
But marriage, dear, never again; SO
let's leave it at that"
"All right" said Cyril, in that pc.
culiarly aggravating way he has; "all
right, old girl, but I'm a long way
from beaten, and you wait and see;
shall marry you somehow"
The second time he proposed to me
was in box at the theater. 1t hap.
pened to be very pathetic play, and
Cyril, who has no idea of the fitness
Of things, kept whispering words OF
love and alteration, while the audience
were in a state of dreadful suspense
as to whether an erring wife would re.
turn to her husband or no. When
had the opportunity, which was dur
ing the entr' act / said to him: Now,
Cyril, don't be silly; you know quite
we'll that I have given you my final
answer"
Cyril said nothing much beyond re-
iterating his former statement that l
was the only woman in the world for
him, and other nonsense of that sort,
and that he was not beaten. The third
time that he proposed to me was in
my own drawing room. He had been
in a more or less dormant state for
awhile, and that being so, thought
there was no great harm in asking
him to tea. We first of all talked
about the usual banalties; but, some
how, though l tried desperately hard
to keep off dangerous topics, we soon
found ourselves in deep water.
Il say, Muriel," he said, Muriel
being my name, 'it's going to be beast
ly not seeing you all October and No
vember, and I've been thinking things
over, and 1 have an idea, rather a
good one, ! think"
"Oh," I answered whats the idea? ?
Something sensible, / hope. You know
my mind quite we'll on certain points.
Eyes, know all that, but, as mat.
ter of fact, you don't know yourself
as we'll as / do. What are the plain

Foreign steamship companies doing
business with American ports must
pay the corporation tax, according to
a recent opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral. His opinion is based on the pro-
vision of the law which makes all for
eign corporations amenable to the tax
on that part of their business done
here. There are great difficulties in
the way of ascertaining on what pro-
portion Of its income foreign steam
ship company should pay tax; but
If the Supreme Court finds that the
law is constitutional, way can be
found for collecting an approximately
just tax from the steamship compan.
les. The government maintains that
the tax is in the nature of license
fee levied on the privilege of doing
business. Its opponents insist that 1t
is direct tax on property, and is
therefore unconstitutional.

American men Of science are more
gallant than those of England. For
example, a London anthropologist has
lately declared that human skull

six hundred thousand years old. Amer

and tiny ruby eyes. 1t was simply too
fascinating and, as Cyril said it was
for Christmas, saw no harm in keep
ing it, besides which l was fond of
him in a way.
In January l was once more back
In town at my own fiat, and he came
to see me. He looked awfully fit and
nice after his country spell, and never
even referred to what l call unpleas-
ant subjects till just as he was going,
when he said casually, Don't forget
the date, dear, will your"
Il thought that joke was quite ex-
ploded," answered uneasily, for some
how there was something very COM
pelling about him, which / wished to
hide from myself.
Exploded, dearest; what do you
think l am about?" and he caught me
by the hands and looked straight into
my eyes. Don't you know the truth
yet, that love you with every fiber
of my being, and don't you also know
that I'm going to make you love me
every bit as much?"
With his dparture, feeling that
had been very near the brink of sur
render overcame me, and | began to
allow to myself that my life was at
times more than a little lonely, and
that being looked after by Cyril had
its points. Day by day l turned the
question over in my thoughts, and day
by day I found myself weakening.
Moreover, l had seen no more of
him, and he had not even written. Men
don't realize what weapon is theirs
one which always conquers the weaker
sex-the feeling that perhaps they are
not paying one as much attention as
heretofore. In fact, was becoming
actually worried-it was not the end
of January and I had made no plans.
Somehow felt disinclined to, and the
most absurd part was that l found
myself packing mechanically all nv
prettiest dresses, to the establishment
OF my maid, who asked me where I
was going. l said Monte Carlo. which
| positively hoped now was true.
February came and still no news.
