for better things. The breaking up of
the old order of things and the going
after different forms of government is
taken by the missionaries there as an
Indication of better things.
While there | travelled much in
company with revolutionary soldiers,
and they always accorded me the ut
most courtesy. That has been their
custom in relation to all foreigners.
indeed, they are anxious to have for
eigners, especially Americans, in their
country.
In Japan the treatment of myself,
as well as the missionaries in that
country, was most cordial. They are
ali fond of Americans, especially Gen.
Luke E. Wright, former ambassador to
that country, of whom government Of
ncials, without exception, spoke in the
very highest terms of praise. They
regard him as one of the greatest
Americans, which is saying a great
deal, when one considers the esteem
in which they hold all Americans.
The report that has reached this
country that Japanese authorities
have caused the arrest of Christians
! in Korea, among whom was Prince
Iun, a former visitor to this city, Is a
mistake | think, insofar as it states
that the arrests were made because
the persons arrested were Christians
There were some arrests made, but
they were made on account of an al
legged conspiracy against the Japanese
encouragement of Korea, and not be
cause of any religious belief. Some
of those arrested were Christians, as
was the case with Prince Yum, but ii
vas upon a conspiracy charge.
In Korea there has been a great
o,angelistic movement on foot fol
some time and it is still in progress
fruits of the labors of the mis-
sionares in that country are perhaps
lore prolific just now than in any
cher country. The missionaries are
enthusiastic and great work is being
DONE"

ROMANCE OF A
MIDSHIP MAN
Won a Wife by Posing as a
Hero Done In Wax.

Where did you first meet your wife.
Halsteadw
The question was asked by a guest
of Austin Halstead after dinner, when
the wives of the two men had retired
to the drawing room and cigars were
brought to the dining table. A smile
passed over Halstead's face.
That's a funny story he said.
81 hadn't been out of the Naval
academy a year and was as full OF
nonsense as the day I left Annapolis.
Our ship was ordered to the Brooklyn
navy yard for reftting. and, having a
good deal of time on my hands,
spent it in New York. | found the
Eden Musee a good place to get away
with an afternoon and spent not only
one but several there. One day
was in uniform at the time. having
been ordered on some official duty III
New York connected with the ship
strolled into the show Of wax figures
along with one of our fellows, Tom
Anderson. Tom was on leave and in
and sat on a wooden settee to rest
and watch the people. A friend OF
Toms went by, and Tom left me
temporarily to go to speak to him.
IT noticed that several persons look
ed at me scrutinizingly, suspecting
that since | was in uniform 1 might
be a wax figure Of some great naval
hero, but as soon as they perceived
that | was merely real live MILDLY
they lost interest in me and passed on.
Presently l saw coming young girl
Of sixteen, whose dresses had not
been let down to the length for wo-
men. In the care of a French maid.
She was one Of the piquant kind, full
of animation. This was evidently her
first visit to the show, and she was
intensely interested in everything she
saw. She gave me an tnQufring glance,
then asked her maid in French wheth-
or | was flesh and blood or wax. Not
getting a satisfactory reply, she came
nearer and fixed her sparkling black
eyes upon me-
"Of course 1t was a mean thing to do,
but what can you expect from young
ster who has also the disadvantage Of
being a sailor ashore? looked straight
before me- Tom Anderson was stand
ing at a little distance. talking with
his friend, and saw the girl trying to
make me out. He smiled and called his
friends attention to the pantomime.
Tom had as much deviltry in him as
and was equally culpable. Tipping the
wink to his companions, he led the way

A BARRIER
TOHAPPlNES5
BY LUCILLE BARKER

B There lived in the city of Phiiadel-
phia a widower and his son who were
always seen together. The father was
little over forty, the son about TWEEN
ty-one. The two always dressed alike,
talked alike, acted alike and had the
same opinions on subjects. Those who
knew them intimately spoke Of them
as Dombey & Son, though their name
was Hardwick
All went we'll between the two till
the question Of the sons marriage
came up. Jimmie Hardwick fell in
love with q girl who had no means
whatever and if he married her had
not sufficient fortune to keep up his
position in the ultra fashionable gold
en- circle to which he possessed a birth
right. In vain his father held up to
him the fact that If he made the in
tended match the relations that had
existed between them must cease, the
older man continuing in the same So
cial scale, the son dropping out.
Emily Sherbourne was a very sensi-
no ambition to hobnob with multimil-
lionaires, but she loved Jimmie and
was loath to give him up. Indeed, she
did not propose to give him up.
The case dragged, poor Jimmie loath
to give UP the position in which he had
been born, especially since 1t would
put wedge between him and his IA
ther. But one day Jim saw signs that
his father was himself contemplating
matrimony. None of the widows or
young spinsters Of society seemed to
have attracted Mr.. HardWick's atten-
ton, for Jim kept watch Of him when
ever they were ''out," and the older
mans attentions seemed to be general
Confident that his father would not
think of marrying out of his set, Jim
made up his mind that he had been
mistaken and there was nothing in it.
Then he concluded to make one more
attempt to win his father to his own
intended marriage. He begged Mr.
HardWick 10 call on his betrothed,
hopeful that a view Of her would so
attract him that he would fall in with
the scheme. But the father said that
he had never made visits other than
within his own circle Of acquaintance
and declined to make an exception in
this case
In an interview with Miss Sher-
bourne Jim told her of his effort and
