Quaint Critic.

George B. Luks, the painter. said to
a critic in his New York studio: Your

RONeoLs KILL BRAVE NAN
British Telegraph Operator Laughs in
the Face Of and Taunts His
EKeeutloners.


Pekin.--News has reached here Of
the tragic death Of an English tele-
graph operator named Grant and his
four Chinese companions. It seems
that Grant, together with Mr. Henning
sen, the PelEin superintendent Of tele-
graphs, and other linemen, had been
sent into Mongolia to repair the Chi
nese government lines. The party
separated at Tuerin, Grant following
one line and Henningsen another. The
latter completed his work and return
ed to Pekin, where rumors we're
brought him that Grant bad been slain.
With DR.. Wolf and Mr.. Giles, Mr..
Henningsen at once returned to Mon
golia to look for the missing opera
tor or to verify the rumors of his
death.
When the party reached the place Of
the reported capture Of Grant, he de-
scribed the appearance of Grant to the
local chief, who told him that such a
man was in the camp of the Great
Chief, 40 miles further on. but that
he had joined the Mongols and would
not leave them. When they reached
the Great Chiefs camp Russian was
found there who bore striking re-
semblance to the missing man. In
the camp they found Grants belong
ings, his saddle, piES and boots. They
asked the Russian about them and
were informed that the things had
been captured from the Chinese.
Remington then became angry, and
bitterly reproached the Russian. The
latter replied that he had no idea the
things had belonged to Grant. The
Mongols had captured them all from
the Chinese, and it was evident that
the Chinese had killed and robbed
Grant. Henningsen then turned to the
Mongols and upbraided them.
you must have known that this was
not the man | was looking for" he
said, and as you have all my friends
belongings you must know what has
become Of him. | shall go and talk to
the Great Chief"
One Of the Mongols who had shown
the party several courtesies then
drew Henningsen aside and urged
him not to indulge in any further
questions.
Your life and those of all the party
depend upon your discretion in this re-
spect," he said. You will not find
out any more here, but can tell you
that Grant had been killed. Go away
in peace. If Grant had done that he
would not have been killed"
Having discussed the matter the
party decided that they could do no
more, but they learned from other
Mongols that Grant and the three
Chinese had been captured, and that
the Mongols had decided to kill the
Chinese Grant was told that he could
go to Kalgan after his camera had
been destroyed, but he refused to aban-
don the Chinese.
The Mongols gave him the choice Of
going away at once or being shot with
the Chinese. Grant chose the lat
ter, and as he stood in front of the
firing party he tainted the Mongols
with their cowardice and laughed in
their faces until the Mongols wonder
ed at his bravery.
