three years ago. The row led to q

Gen. Bose. whose intentions in the
matter were beyond criticism. has de-
voted his life to military matters. The
smell Of powder has never entirely left
his nOstrils and he often organized mill
tary reunions among his old cronies who
loved to talk over the other days. II
was In 1870 that the General cOnceiv ad

The statement Of Gen. Hose that the
Government had recognized his order was
not based on fact. The chancellery OF
the Legion Of Honor declared that the
order was illegal and this started trouble
between the head OF the order and
the head OF the chancellery.

Danner In Crahs

Crabs, no matter how fresh they be make some fellows sick nearly ever, time they eat them, Still they talk, a chance on it every once in so often just the same. Crabs must be very fine eating and have lovely taste as they are being munched and put into the pauuches of the crab eaters. Crabs will eat dead horse, or rats. pigs cats or dogs decaying in the ocean. Perhaps if the crabs were penned m and fed on the choicest of foods for some days, so as to get few of the dirty germs out of them. as well as rid them of the filth they eat, then In a somewhat cleaner condition they might not, after being eaten, turn the insides wrong side out and inside outward both ways at the same time. Some foolish fellows feel highly insulted when told that they take a chancs every time they eat crabs. Eat 'em and don't kick at the doctor blll.-Ex. change.

A Craft Without llqht,

Composure Is second nature with me claim no credit for 1t; 1t Is matter of temperament rather than cultivation. But now my temperament was all awry, and my composure fed me. I was excited. More than that, I was frantic, distracted, rarled. l wanted to do dozen things at once; to get answers to score of ques- tions in a single moment. And the consequence may be imagined. For five-ten minutes, nothing was done whatever. Then the search-light was got into play, sweeping the waters on all sides. far and near; but with pal try result Five or six miles astern We made out a power boat, similar to that which I had seen through the glass earlier in the day To the east ward a steamer with two tunnels was just coming into range. The white sails of a coasting schooner showed to westward. Trailing in our wake was our sQualid salvage. the dory O: the fisherman.

 'Jumped!" cried, in irritation. My God, man. Don't I tell you that l was not three feet away from him. and only for a minute or two? How could he have jumped without my hearing him? How could he even have got out of his chair, without my hearing him?'

 This I hoped was to be the end of the matter, for tonight at least; put presently he began to talk Of those first two letters, to conjecture. to won der, to dissect phrases, to dig out subtleties of meaning from euphemis- tic expressions. And then l knew that he had every word memorized, just as I had.
 Seven bells had struck and we were still talking But now and then there were pauses in our converse-inter- vals of silence of varying length-dur- ing which 1 sat with my gaze stretcn- ing out over the black waters and my hearing strained for any unusual sound.

 Altogether 1t was not over minute or two that 1 stood there. It seemed much less than that Then l turned with a question for Cameron. l won- dered whether he had heard the sound too.
