Old War Junks In China.

In spite of the introduction OF mod
ern ideas OF warfare into China there
are still several hundred wooden war
junks" on the active list" most OF
them being owned. manned and armed
by the higher order of mandarins,
whose remnants are flown from the
masthead on special occasions.
These junks are from thirty TO
eighty feet long. eight to thirty feet
beam and carry from four to twelve
muzzle loading guns, many OF which
are made of wood. in some cases
bound with hoop iron. Each junk has
from two to five masts OF different
sizes and stepped in various directions
one to port. one sloping for'ard, one
aft. one to starboard and the other
vertical.
They have very high poops. the
sterns being decorated with curious
colored paintings, and plankings ex'
tend forward and upward In a curved
manner on each side Of the bows. The
plankings are painted red and are fur
nished with two painted eyes. one
each side-evidently to guide the ves-
sci to a safe anchorage. The junks
carry large crews, who are very skilled
in maneuvering the craft In all sorts
of weather-Wide World.

Character Is Power.

Character is like stock in trade; the
more of it a man possesses, the great.
er his facilities for making addition
to 1t. Character Is power-is funds;
draws patronage and support; and
opens a sure and easy influence; it
makes friends; creates way to wealth,
honor, and happiness.-J. Halves.

together. Fill stole occasional awed
ylances at Arlene as she went about
her household duties. Mrs. Tower
knitted placidly by the fireplace.
Arlene wanted to 80 away and cry.
but with the stoicism of the frontier.
she gave no evidence of her emotion.
She loved Frank Marquette. despite
his apparent cowardice and feeble
ness of character. Beneath the sur
face she felt his innate honesty, sim
plicity and kindness.
But the frontier has no place for
cowardice. Her love was submerged
with contempt.
The lumberjack was stirring re.
luctantly to leave when the door was
pushed open and Frank Marquette
entered. All the indecisiOn had van
ished and a new steadfastness Of pur-
pose gave him strength and dignity.
He started with uncomfortable relief
at sight of the bandaeed lumberjack,
and addressed his remarks to that
placid individual.
Hart" he said. quietly. "1'm the
man that shot you. saw something
gray and white. and thought It was
q deer"
You're a pretty good shot"
grinned the lumberjack. His anger
had evaporated. You just burned my
scalp little"
The young man. keyed up to bear
reproaches. and perhaps bodily
violence. was amazed at this ood-
natured reception OF his confession.
But he did not swerve from his pur.
pose.

came to his rescue. "You didn't kill
any deer. Frank" he suggested.

"You didn't even kill met"
"But | wounded you." persisted
Frank.

No martyrs spirit could stan'
against the lumberjack's whimsica

In the little pause that followed
Arlene stepped forward. Her cheek
were flushed and there was q col
light In her eyes. She had just rea
lied the depth Of moral courage while
Marquette had displayed.
