the arrival of the enemy, however.
there was nothing in the generals de
meanor to betray the fact. He did
not move, did not awake the sleeping
crew, but turned with a sigh and
crossed the deck. He was stopped by
the princess, who walked with him for
a few seconds.
HE has sent one Of the crew, STEM
ka Pugacheff, down the river for
help" she said to Hardy. Brave
Stenka! He hopes to get far enough
in the darkness to escape the eyes of
the band which is collected here, and
then he will take to the woods. Is he
not a hero, this simple Cossack? 1t

A light flashed and went out 80 or
40 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 IN arrow which, freighted with
some highly inflammable material,
was sticking upright in the deck and
burning like a candle. 1t cast con

this is my cousin, Boris Romanoff. I
take pleasure in introducing two
brave men to each other. Mr.. Hardy
has saved my life, and Boris has
braved the most fearful dangers to
reach my side. When he arrived at
Vladivostock and inquired for me he
learned that | had started for Moscow,
SO he did not wait a moment, but
fairly flew up the river. Had he
known what gallant defenders were
by my side he would not have felt
such anxiety"
Hardy took this last remark as sim
ply complimentary to himself and the
brave old general, and he acknowl.
edged it by a polite bow; how could
he know that Boris Romanoff was a
sutton for his fair Cousins hand, who
was a cousin far removed, after all,
and that the princess often tried the
big fellows temper in the most insid-
ious and seemingly innocent ways.
This is an unexpected pleasure,
Mr.. Hardy" said Romanoff in English,
extending his hand, Il hardly hoped to
meet YOU again in Russia. / feared
you would not be able to break away
from the destinations Of the geisha
girls, who so strongly appealed to
YOU" Hardy ignored the hand.
Il believe that you played a scoun-
drelly trick on me in Japan" he said,
looking Romanoff coolly in the y
and speaking with great calmness,
but | am content, for the present, to
pass it by. I-ah-suppose you have
your own code as q gentleman. Ac-
cording to mine, it is our duty now to
sink all private differences and unite
In the rescue Of this lady from d most
perilous position"
"You are right replied Romanoff,
becoming insolent; can addition to the
crew is not to be despised at a time
like this, especially a fellow who can
shoot as you can. You ought to D &
a gallery In Petersburg. You'd make
your fortune" He turned his back
rudely, but looked over his shoulder
to add: "But let us have no misunder-
standing. Nothing you can do here
will prevent my finding out why the
Japanese were so friendly to you and
what you are really doing in Russia"

Due Precaution.

The inspector in the electric light
plant received word that a wire was
down on a crowded street. He hur-
ried to the spot, and found the by
ISLANDERS handling the broken wire in
a very careless manner. Luckily, 1t
was part Of the fire alarm system, and
not one Of the lines that carried the
high-tension current for lights.
An Irish crossing tender approached
the inspector. 81 saw that wire hang
ing down there, an I picked it up and
lugged it over there out of the way"
Well" said the Inspector, "you
took a big chance. You shouldn't
have touched that wire; you didn't
know what was in 1t. You might have
been killed"
"Ah!" said the crossing tender, with
a knowing nod. II was mighty care
full, o Sure, I felt of it before I
took hold Of it.'-Youth's Companion.

CHAPTER XVI.
Battle by MOONLIGHT.

DahhiS Wy WOOililSUbs
The burning arrows had been a di-
version, as the books on tactics say,
to draw the attention of the little band
of defenders and occupy it completely
on the downstream side, while an
other attacking party crept up under
cover of darkness and boarded from
above. But for the fact that the willy
old general, fearing the trick, had
kept a guard stationed at that side,
the use might have succeeded per-
fectly. The boat, as we have seen,
was swung diagonally across a sort
of channel, her nose and stern being
imbedded in sand-banks. The Chinese,
coming down stream in three row.
boats, struck her at either end and
ear the middle, their evident inten-
ton being to spread the Russians out
as much as possible.
At this moment a frayed and worn
old moon fioated up out of the ST.
berian forest. Hardy saw, by it's light,
a wide expanse of water, dimly shin
ing between ghostly forests; he saw
several Monaghan heads, covered
with round black caps, looking over
the side Of the boat; he saw julius
Smulders whirl a heavy oak pole in
the air and bring it down on one of
these heads with terrific force; he
saw one of the Bouriats cleave an
other head sc completely that one
half stood erect for a second, while
the other fell over the victims shout
der, as the Bouriat wrenched at his
sword, which was imbedded in the
rail; he saw a gigantic Manchurian,
with a long two-handed sword, leap
aboard, to be thrust through by a bay
onet lunge just as his feet struck the
deck.
All this the American took in with
n glance Of the eye just as the
moon rose above the woods.

INSOMNIA

Experiments satisfied me, some 5

cramped Quarters.

William H. Maxwell, the superin,
tendent of New York's public schools,
has brought the school buildings un.
der him to a pitch of cleanliness rare
ly to be seen.
Discussing school sanitation, Mr..
Maxwell said the other day:
Nothing is more important than
that our well ventilated and spacious
school rooms should be kept free of
dust. w. H. Marsh of the Buckinham-
shire education committee recently
made tests showing that in a pound
and a half of %schoolroom dust there
are 1,600,0 00, 900 microbes"
Mr.. Maxwell smiled whimsically.

walk off with that pound and a half,
isn't it?.

and, swinging their rifles about their
heads, they came galloping on through
the shallow water of the river, the
chief well in advance. The general
gave a quick, sharp order and his lit
tie army fell on their knees behind
the half-lnished barricade, on the top
of which they rested their rifles.
Evidently, being a good soldier, he
had ordered the men not to fire till
the enemy should get close. Smulders
had no rife, but he seized a stout
boat-hook, shod with a sharp iron
point, and sank on his knees, shout
ing:
"They shall never get my Chulia!"
On came the wild line, splashing
through the water, which was now up
to the horses knees. When they had
traversed about one-third of the dis
lance, they stopped and deliberately
took aim. The general spoke sharply
to the princess, who sat down on the
deck behind the barricade. At this
moment the brigands fired and several

the first time l have used this rifle"
Smulders dropped his boat-hook to
the deck, and running up to the Amer
lean, seized both his hands in his fat,
pink palms.
You have saved my Chulia!" he
sobbed.
There was, indeed, no further at
tack on the part of the Chinese that
afternoon, and at night, before the
moon arose, the besieged received an
important recruit. A man heard
shouting from the Russian side was
allowed to approach and come on
board. Hardy could not see his face,
as lights were not allowed on deck,
but he thought he recognized the
voice, ven though it was speaking
Russian. The newcomer went be-
low Immediately. Half an hour after
arrival, Hardy vas summoned By the
princess to her cabin.
"Mr. Hardy" she said in French,
