"You Make It a Trial Test"

we succeed in getting through the In
dian lines-I shall be again among my
old comrades. and shall be no longer
a servant to Francois Cassion. l shall
stand before him a man, an equal,
ready to prove myself with the
steel"
mo, monsieur" I burst forth, chat
must not be; for my sake you will not
quarrelp'
"For your sake? You would have
me spare him"
"Oh, why do you put it thus, mon
sieur! 1t is so hard for me to ex-
plain. You say you love me, and
and the words bring me joy. Ay, con.
fess that. But do you not see that
blow from your hand struck at Fran
co.'s Cassion would separate US for
ever? Surely that is not the end you
seek. I would not have you bear af-
front longer, yet no open quarrel will
serve to better our affairs. Certainly
no clash of swords. Perhaps it can
not be avoided, for Cassion may so
insult you when he sees us together.
as to let his insolence go beyond re-
stralnt. But beg Of you, monsieur,
to hold your hand, to restrain your
temper-for my sake"
"You make it trial, a test?"
"Yes-it is a test But monsieur,
there is more involved here than mere
happiness. You must be cleared of
the charge of crime, and / must learn
the truth of what caused my mar
rage. Without these facts the future
can hold out no hope for either of us.
And there is only one way in which
| this end can be accomplished-a con-
| fession by Cassion. He alone knows
the entire story of the conspiracy, and
there is but one way in which he can
be induced to talk"

CHOLERA SPREADS IN JAPAN
Several Thousand Persons Are Said to
Have Been Stricken with
DfSpnSe.

TOKYO, October oS.-The cholera
epidemic continues TO spread through
out Japan, despite the efforts Of the
doctors to comba: It. The newspapers
have been prohibited from publishing
statistics of :hc total number of cases,
f,ut these are now estimated "a num-
bcr several thousands. All of the
ports arc affected, and shipping is Sc
riously hampcred.
Am~pg the indirect effects OF the cpl
demic is the suffering of the fishermen
and fish dealers on account of the
medical warnings not to eat fish. Tho
disease is believed TO have been propa-
gated by refuse thrown in the sea
from steamer which had cholera
cases on board. The germs are said
to thrive on salt water. There have
been two scares in the imperial palace
on account OF the epidemic, and the
Emperor has twice had to change his
plans, owing to cases occurring among
the servants OF the court.
Elaborate precautions are being
taken to see that the disease does not
reach the imperial family. Every bit
OF food served at the royal table is
examined by the physicians, and the
doctors draw up the menus.
