Gov. Hooper has kept faith with

Hooper not insisted on his law

Pekin, July 25.-The revolutionary movement in the south, known as the Punish Yuan" expedition, has suf- fered a fresh reverse end retreated from Su Chow Flu and taken up a strong position at Ling Waikwan in the adjoining province of Anhwei, where the Tien Tsin & Ranking rail way crosses the Hwai river, to await the arrival of the Canton expedition, which is expected to land 15,000 troops at Pukow
 The government declares that the navy will sink every ship engaged in transporting the Canton expedition whenever it starts. A manifesto has been issued stripping Gen. Chen Chi Mei, formerly minister of commerce, and Gen. Huang Sing, formerly gener- alissimo of the revolutionary army, and now commander of the southern army, of their ranks and orders, oler- ing a reward to any of their followers who arrest or kill them, and a pardon to all rebels who surrender, except the leaders.
 President Yuan Shi Kai's firm deter. imitation to suppress the rebellion is restoring confidence among the waver ing Chinese and has elieHed the ap proval of all the legations, with the exception of the Russian and Japan ese.
 The Chinese press argued in better terms that the rebels have been enabled to perfect their plans through the existence of the system of foreign settlements and concessions, and that if the system did not exist the rebel lion would not have materialized.
 Dr. Sun Vat Sen, former provisiona president, issued a manifesto in Nan king, irrevocably indorsing the rebel lion.

 Tn spite of her defense, Arthur sat in the hammock that swung a little under the pressure of his foot on the ground. The curve of the hammock brought them very close together, his arm leaned behind her, forming a rest for her head.
 Does that mean" he says, that having grown to a lady you do not care any more for my love and kisses?"
 She smiled In triumph at the situa- tion.
 He continued: Would that mean that. being lady of nineteen, your heart is no more as 1t was at seven teen? Could that mean that you have another love?
 The change Is on your side, sir. You promised to complete the engage ment on your return. You have been staying here since yesterday, and your cool behavior Is at variance with your former ardor"

 How Is it. Explain 1t to me-"
 You have no excuse for having placed kiss on my forehead"
 A curious little change had taken place in her face, the anger-real or simulated-ha died out, leaving a rosy, blushing, happy face, and she whispered so quietly that he had to listen intently to hear it:

NOT THE RIGHT PLACE
By OMER CHAPUT.

How dare you I wonder if you are still gentleman and if you have forgotten that l am lady. Yes. sir, l am lady, remember it."
 Fast and angry came the words springing up from a cozy hammock swinging between two apple trees.
 She had been feigning sleep when her cousin Arthur, approaching si- lently, coughed little to wake her up, and this being unsuccessful, he gently leaned over her and, encir- cling her graceful head with his hands, implanted a long and sweet kiss on the forehead, white as the lily of the valley. It is hard to say if it was the kiss or the pressure of the hands on the temple. Perhaps the kiss was too long, but Arthur could not duplicate it, for Edith stood up, her cheeks and forehead covered with indignation.
 How dare you!" Emphasizing her words with little stamps of her foot and grinding her pretty French heels into the turf. Have you become a ruffian since your two years of ab- sence in Paris? What do you take me for? Do you still believe yourself in the Quartier Latin. where girls may be found to submit to such importuni- ties? What! Oh, what" But she was out of breath. Her face was pale and her eyes had a suspicion of mois- ture in them, Arthur saw his chance and immediately availed himself there of, saying:
 What do 1 take you for? l take you for the sweetest little girl in all the world The temptation to take that delicious kiss l could not resist; I did not expect you to awaken, and I am only sorry that 1 could not re- peat the offense. Your anger Is quite right, I know, but I did not expect such a fury from you. am ready. dear, to give back what have stolen, if you are willing"
 Enough! I am not trifling; keep your vulgar jokes to yourself. l will not be a party to them. l am dis appointed in you; I do not find the jolly cousin and the refined gentleman I remember of two years ago, when you left to study medicine. Go away. I do not want you to sit so close to me-"
 But"
 There Is no but, and do not look at me in the eyes like that. am not taking any Parisian galantries."
 What"
 There Is no what Listen to me, D she said vehemently. You outraged my feelings, and I am right to pro- test. More than that, you greatly disappoint me. The first time you see me alone after two years of ab- sence. you take advantage of my soii- tary sleep in the orchard and insolent- ly kiss me on the forehead. I wonder what has produced such a change in you since we parted. l was always expecting you to return a polished man."
 Now, may have word, please?''
 'Yes, justify yourself, if you can. :"
 Your cousin Arthur has returned the same as ever; he has kisses only for you. The change is not on his side. Seriously speaking, before 1 left for abroad you would not have all lowed me to wake you In any way ex- cept by kiss. I was tempted to on several occasions, and I even had at times suspicion that you were felgn- ing sleep when I came to spend the afternoon with you In the orchard"
 "But you forget that I was only
