Mr.. RedmOnd's Speech.
No speech of recent years deliver
ed in the House of Commons has
produced greater sensation than
Mr.. John Redmond's speech on Mon
day last (Aug. 81. 1t was enthusiast
tically cheered by members of all
parties in the house. and, afterwards,
the Irish leader was overwhelmed
with congratulations by leading
unionists, including the Chief Tory
Whop, Lord Edmund Talbot. Both
unionists and home rulers declared
that the speech had made home rule
certain, and that Mr.. Redmond had
done more for home rule in five min
utes than had been done for it in
twenty-five years. From unionists all
over the country, titled and common
ers. congratulations continued to
pour in on Mr.. Redmond, whose
health has been toasted at leading
unionist club in the city of London.
In Ireland the effect of the speech
has been no less extraordinary. Mes
sages of endorsement and congrat-
ulation keep pouring in from public
and private bodies and from per-
sons hitherto regarded as unalterably
opposed to home rule. For the first
time, perhaps, in history the Irish
people have cheered the reservists
on their way to the colors, the In
niskilling Fusiliers having been es-
corted to the railway statinn in En-.

War Engineering.

American engineers lately have sew
eral times expressed strong admira-
tion for some Of the feats that the
army engineers with the great Euro
pean armies have been accomplishing
in the course of their strenuous work.
The engineers with the army of in
vasion in France have reconstructed
roads. bridged chasms and rivers and
carried out the transport of monster
artillery in a way that is marvellous
when compared with the far more cir
cumstantial engineering procedure in
times of peace. The brunt of engineer
ing difficulties has fallen upon the Ger
mans. and over all manner of obstacles
they have proved themselves able to
advance rapidly from one and a half
to two and a half million men. with
the tremendous stores and the masses
of artillery necessary to such an army.
The engineers with the allied armies
are now having opportunity to test
their ingenuity.
American experts have classed as the
TRANSPORTATION and emplacement of the
of the struggle so far, however, the
transportation and enplacement of the
German siege artillery, such as the
siege howitzers of the enormous bore
of sixteen and a half inches. The
weight of this piece is estimated at
forty tons alone, and at least as mucn
more for the carriage. The transport
of such machines over ways DESTROYED
by an enemy constitutes remar kaple
feat of engineering effort.

So widespread is the influence Of
Britain and things British that when
in oriental lands on finds colony
of Europeans he expects it. as a matter
of course, to be housed in buildings
that seem to have been transported as
by magic from Liverpool or Manches-
ter Indeed. there is no appreciable
architectural distinction between the
houses around the big parks of Liver
pool and those that surround the NAL
dan Of Calcutta or line Bubbling Well
road in Shanghai. They are all Eng
lish.
Surprise, then, augmented by aston
ishment, awaits the traveller who be-
fore the siege landed at Tsing-tau.
For Tsing-tau is a bit of orientalized
Bremen. 1t has not the Gothic flavor
of elder Germanic cities, but smells
of that new and massive Germany
which has risen since Bismarck.
Germany holds this portion OF the
Shan-tung peninsula by lease, but she
has built as if her title was in fee
simple. There are German houses,
German ships, German names, German
speaking Chinese coolies. and, while
there is of course the inextinguishable
Chinese flavor, there is not the tiniest
suggestion of England. 1t is unique
oriental colony now crumbling beneath
the fire of the Japanese siege guns.

Old May Coyote Dimes Well.

Ever since he had come to the Green
Meadows to live Old Man Coyote had
taken the greatest pains to keep away
from Farmer Browns. You see he felt
that he was stranger, and being such
he would be quite likely to make mis-
takes. which might get him into trou-
BILE. If there is one thing that Old
Man Coyote prides himself on it is
the way in which he manages to keep
out of trouble. He is so smart that 1t
is very seldom that Old Man Trouble
ever catches up with him. So he kept
away from Farmer Browns henyard
and Farmer Browns duck pond, al
though sometimes the sound of the
roosters Growing and the ducks quack-
ing made his mouth water so that he
would trot off into the Green Forest
where he could not hear them, for fear
that he might be tempted to do some-
thing foolish.
But all the time he was studying and
studying. Yes. sir, Old Man Coyote was
studying. He was learning all about
the ways of Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns boy and Farmer Browns hired
man and Bowser the Hound and the
hens and the ducks. Day after day
he would hide where he could see all
that went on about Farmer Browns
house and dooryard, and no one ever
suspected it. He knew just when the
hens were allowed to run outside the
henyard. He knew just which ones
were boldest and went farthest from
home and where they usually went.
He knew just when the ducks. went
down to the duck pond and where their
favorite resting places on the edge of
the pond were.
The truth is Old Man Coyote knew a
lot more about those ducks and chick
ems than Farmer Browns boy himself.

The red flag was already flying at
the gate when Luella Harrison got
up. She caught the reflection of 1t in
the cracked glass of the old bureau as
she combed her hair. WELL she said
to herself, "who cares? Not me, for

trash. An I'll be glad to be free. had
all I want o. bein' married, an more.
She hummed little song as she ran
down the stairs to show how glad she
was.
Joe was sitting at the table, his head
hidden in his arms. He did not look
up as she came in and no greeting
passed between them. Luella noticed
that he had the breakfast well under
way and he had washed the dishes that
she had left the night before She
went on with breakfast getting, still
humming the little song under her
breath She poured the coffee
"Joe,' she said, set up an eat It's

said, but again there was no word. A
fright seized her. What If he was
dead? Joe" she cried. joe
At that the man looked up. HIS race
was not less calm than her own. though
the eyes showed a sleepless night:
'Tm glad he wasn't crying" Luella
said to herself. II never could abide
a man as couldn't take his medicine
like a man-'specially when he's the
one as mixed it
The thought that he had been the one
who mixed it, did much to bring back
the color fright had driven from her
face She ate nonchalantly, speaking
a word now and then that did not
need a reply.
Joe did not speak nor eat. but he
drank the muddy coffee thirstily: When
he had finished he stood up and spoke
for the first time. They won't begin
to git here afore 1O,'' he said.
I'll be ready, moren ready, by then,
she replied.
Then Joe went out. Now that she was
alone Luella pushed away her plate
and rested her head on her hands as
Joe had done. But in a moment or so
she arose, washed the few dishes. and
made the kitchen tidy. Mechanically
she had put them away in their place
before she remembered that they no
longer had a place. She brought them
out again, and all the others. They

plump duck had passed almost under
Old Man Coyotes nose and never
guessed how close danger was. And he
had let them pass, because he was
smart enough to know that to seize
them would be to give himself away.
Now the time had come when he felt
that he had learned all that was to be
learned about chickens and ducks and
Farmer Browns folks, and that If he
made the most of what he had learned
he could dine on chicken or duck when
he pleased without running any dan
ger. So that is how it happened that
one night Farmer Browns boy. count
ing his ducks before he shut them up
for the night, found that one was miss

trace of the missing duck. but not SO
much as a feather could he find. Nor
could he find a track of any one who
might have stolen and carried away

Meadows where he makes his home.
Old Man Coyote was smiling to himself
as he dined royalty. Duck certainly
is very good eating" said he. as he
picked the last bone. 1T was worth
waiting for. I have heard say that
these human beings are very smart,
but if they are smarter than Old Man
Coyote then it is time for me to move
away, and I don't think I'll do that
yet awhile. When 1 was just young

furniture down. Another man had hold
of the old bureau. He stumbled and
Luella caught her breath. What if they
fell,

years bad luck besides if they do"
The man recovered himself and Luella
remembered. 1t was less than nothing to
her what they broke.
The auctioneer began in the parlor. The
rest of the things had been carried out

mantled. The women huddled into the
small room, but the men stood outside.
Luella's eyes sought and found Joe among
them, his head held high and a half
head above his fellows. He was chatting
affably. Presently hush fell over the
room as the auctioneer took his place. He
began with the easy, jesting manner
which the country people loved and ex-
pected. Luella felt that she hated him.
WELL he said smilingly, I'VE began in

'Why, like it," said Luella.
1t did not take long for the pillows to
go. There was a general movement out

ing a cheerful word about this or that
purchase. Outside things were massed
together, but the auctioneer began at
once
