 Chance puts the daughter of Leon ard Bruce in her way. How she ac- conp1ishes her revenge. only to re- pent and finally make every one ,happy, takes the audience through four acts of a play that is full of thrills and heart throbs, and folds one breathless till thee urtain falls.

Punished for Ducking
rom Pearson's Weekly,

From PearSOnS weekly.
 Although under the altered conditions of modern warfare both officers and men take all the cover they can get, it is still considered bad form" to duck when bullets are whistling or shells scream ing overhead
 This is a survival from the old Crimean days. when men were actually punished for behaving in manner that was then considered to be unworthy of British soldier That the service tradition was not always strictly ovserved even then, however is apparent from story told by the late General Appleyard concern ing a grizzled old veteran who, on being remonstrated with by a young corporal for indulgence in this very practice re- plied Its all very well for you, m'lad, but I'm family man." and continued to duck at each report.
 It is on record, too, that Napoleon strongly objected to it, and on one oc- casion he even went to the length of publicly reprimanding one of his staff of- ficers for stopping on his horses's neck In order to avoid the balls he heard whistling over his head. You will not, D he told him, shun the danger any bet ter by bending down than by keeping upright"
 General Gordon, no mean authority vas of a different opinion, though Writ ing in his journal he says: For my part, do not consider judicious ducking to be fault. for l remember on two occa- sions seeing shells before my eyes which certainly, had I not bobbed, would have taken off my head"
 Needless to say, however, it would be impossible to dodge a modern high ve- locity proJectile in this free and easy Fashion. It cannot be seen, and by the tune 1t IS heard the danger is past

 Title
UNFORTUNATE REPLY

Tokio, February 4.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The great subject of discussion in Tokio today is the recent outburst in a section of the Japanese press against the Anglo-Jap- anese alliance. So violent has been the campaign of attack that another part of the press has risen to the defense of the alliance and the correspondent of the London Times for the far east in an article made a detailed answer to the Japanese criticisms. The tenor of this article caused as much sensa- lien as the original Japanese outburst'
 The Japanese criticisms of the alll- ance were largely written by profes- sors in the Imperial university headed by Prof. Tongyu Tatebe, who is a teacher of literature. These writers mostly conclude that the alliance with Great Britain is harmful to Japan. Pro- lessor Tatebe doubts whether the al
 liance can be continued for long be-

At an early age, Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled railroad baggage. One day after delivering 8 heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffer ing increased and it was not long be- fore the young man noticed the swell ing.
 The doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured and that he must either wear a truss throughout life or submit to drastic operation. All surgeons know that hernia operations, with an- aesthetics, etc., are dangerous, they may end fatally Moreover, 1t is well es tablished fact that many rupture opera tions are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through the scwed-up opening and protrudes worse Cnan ever.
 Afraid of Operation
 Like most others, Mir. Pullen declined to take the risks of an operation; the expense and loss of time had to be con- sidered, too. Hoping he might get lit tie better encouragement,h he went to an- other physician who, 10 ais sorrow gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rup- ture were perfectly held all the time or the surgeons knife successfully used, he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further complica- N ClOnS, or the ureaUed StranSuldted her. mia which kills so many ruptured people.
 Victim of Trusses

The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an insurance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work.
 For six years Mr. Pullen dragged around, using various trusses, hard, elastic, etc, with never any content ment One day his mother told him something she had just found out It was simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost no time.

 Relief came at once; he almost for rot that he had any rupture. After ward came a cure-a complete healing -and, although years have passed and MT.

Glory of War

The war is aging; it has been
raging for nearly two long years,
and what's the showing? An
endless flowing of human blood
and tears. Oh, tell the story OF
martial glory to captains of ma
rines! Go forth and wander, in
Europe yonder, and see what
glory means! Go count the
legions, in those red regions, of
men whom war made blind, in
blackness cropping, and done with
hoping for light they'll never
find. Behold the shattered and
torn and battered remains of once
strong men, who looked for glory
in meadows CORY, and ne'er shall
walk again. The war is sending
its cripples vending back to their
ruined farms, to beg, to borrow,
to mourn. in sorrow, their miss
ing legs and arms. This is the
glory of which the hoarv old
harpers like to chant: but it,
more charming to stay home
farming, and rear the cabbage
plant. WALT MASON.
