district and it was beginning to grow
cloudy. Hawley wondered why, they
still walked on together
They turned into little yard that
led toward a church. On one side
was the building, on the other the
graveyard. 1t was an old parish
church which had stood there for
nearly a hundred years-since the
days when the metropolis was only
a distant blur on the sky line, and
this an Independent village.
Hawley remembered what was IA
miliar about this church. He had
been married here. And-their child
had been buried here. 1t was only a
few years before, but the time that
had passed since then seemed in
finite.
They were approaching the grave
Of the child. Hawley clenched his
fists. Anywhere but there, he thought,
If they had gone anywhere but there,
They were so absorbed in their
conversation that they did not hear
him approaching; nor might they
have recognized him in the shabby
mUffled man who glided into the
doorway behind them.
Hawley's sharp ears could now
hear their conversation.
"She was all that united u.s. Let
tY was saying.
1T was good of you to bring me
here. 1 appreciate your confidence
and understand how much it means
to you;" said Lionel
eff only Charles could understand
what he means to me. I have tried
so hard to regain bis love, and it
means nothing at all to him. While
our little girl lived he cared for me;
but since she died and he has be-
come blind he cares for no one. And
would give my whole heart to com
fort him"

ME N HAVE MARROW
 ESCAPE

It is reported that two Latouche men had a narrow escape from drown ing or perishing of cold and starvation as result of the storm which swept this section of the coast recently.
 It appears that a fox rancher, J. w. Flemming had left his island in com pany with native, 10 take a number of foxes to the Green island ranch, when their little boat was caught in a storm. They were unable to breast the waves and were carried out to sea. After being at the mercy of the elements for nearly twenty-four hours their boat was carried by the tide to Montague island, where it was thrown on the beach and smashed.
 Flemming and his companion were without food or a means of making fire, and lived on clans and what they could find on the beach for near ly a month. In their search along the beach they came across the wreck age of another boat. from which they constructed raft and when the storm moderated they hoisted sail and crossed to Latouche island, and reached home few days ago after their friends and relatives had given them up as lost.
 The men are reported to have been frosted and otherwise show that they suffered intensely from their hard ships.

Pinsk, Russia, Feb. 22.-The mildest
winter of decades along the present

important factor in rendering futile, in
this section at least, all Russian eff

Every mile of this front fairly briS-
ties with machine guns. Though the
correspondent had no means of ascer-
tanning how many men defend the
Pinslx sector, the multitude of rapid
firing guns gives the impression that
even a small number of men should
be able to hold the line indefinitely.

UNREST AMONG
CHINA SOLDIERS
CAUSING SCARE
Rioting In Troops Quarters
Inspires Apprehension In
Official Circles.

Picking, Feb. 29.-Unrest among gov
eminent troops is causing much I'M
easiness in government circles. Eight
soldiers were recently beheaded at
Marking because they were held by a
court martial to be guilty of disloyalty
and participation in plots to join the
insurrectionary movement in South
China,
All eyes are turned toward Marking
as it is held to be the key to the mill
itary situation in China. General
Feng Kuo-chang, the officer command
ing in Marking, is one of the most in
dependent and also one, of the most
powerful leaders in military circles.
In spite of the princedom conferred on
him and his elevation to be chief of
staff, his loyalty to the Peking gov
eminent is seriously doubted in many
circles. Were he to join the revolu-
tionists the Yang-tse river valley
would be lost to the Picking govern
ment, as Marking controls the lower
river and in addition controls the only
railway line connecting Picking and
Shanghai. -
Many Of the soldiers executed at
Marking were from Sflantung Prov
ince, in Northern China. This has Gre
ated surprise South China, troops are
always under suspicion and have been
generally replaced in important CEN
ters by men from North China, which
is supposed to be loyal to the Picking
government.
In the very shadow of the Chinese
capital there has been rioting among
troops. At Tung Chow, less than -
miles from Picking, it was recently
necessary to behead a number of SOL
diers who nutinied. When orders
were received at Feng-tai, less than Is
miles from Picking, for the troops
there to prepare for the trip to Yum
nan to fight the reVo1utionists there
was serious trouble. Many of the SOL
die1ss complained they had not enlisted
for amy such expedition and drastice
were taken to calm the sit
uation.
The Yuan Shi-gai government has
been negotiating for airship guns and
is making preparation to defend the
palaces in the Forbidden CITY from
possible attacks from the air An av-
fation corps was established by the
Chinese army several years ago and
1T maintains a small aviation school
in North China, but has few aircraft
and few experienced aviators How
ever, airshipS were among the equip
ment the Chinese shipped from Pc
king to Hankow to combat the move
ments of rebels in the Sotuh.
