But Coursay and Lansing had other
business in hand that night. Fortune,
too, favored them when they arrived at
the O'Hara house; for there, leaning on
the deeaying gate, stood Eileen O'Hara,
her face raised to the sky as though
seeking In the soft star radiance which
fell upon her lids a celestial balm for her
sightless eyes.
She was alone; she heard Lansing's
step, and knew 1t, too From within the
house came the deadened sound of
women's voices singing:

his hands. At length he opened his
trunk, placed the box inside, locked
the trunk, and noiselessly left the room.
He encountered Coursay In the hall,
and started to pass him with an alb
stFacted nod, then changed his mind
and slipped his arm through the arm
of his young knsman
Thought you meant to cut me"
said Coursay, half laughing, half in
earnest.
"Why?" Lansing stopped short; then
'Oh, because you played the fool with
Agatha in the canoe? You two will
find yourselves in crankier craft than
that if you don't look sharp"
You have an ugly way of putting it,

and said

The appeal fattered and touched
Coursay, who had never expected that
he, a weak and spineless backslider,
could possibly be of aid or comfort to
his self-sufficient and celebrated cousin,
DR.. Lansing.
They entered Lansing's rooms; COur-
asy helped himself to some cognac, and
from his dressing-room.
Presently, bathed, shaved, and in his

he went on; the poor little thing man

After moment Coursay asked if the
girl was stone blind.
NO" said Lansing; "she can dis
tinguish light from darkness; she can
even make out form-in the dark; but
a strong light completely blinds her.
Can you help her?" asked Coursay,
with quick pity
Lansing did not answer the question,
but went on: Its been coming on
this blindness since her fifth year;
she could always see to read better In
dark corners than in full light For
the last two years she has not been able
to see; and she's only twenty, Jack

her head.
Lansing was too astonished to reply;
she turned her head partly towards
him as though listening. Something
in the girls attitude arrested his atten-
ton; he involuntarily dropped on one
knee to see her face. 1t was in shadow

deepened to her neck
Lansing, completely nonplussed, sat
watching the wonderful beauty of that

The undertone of pathos in her voice
drove the smile from Lansing's lips.

asked, incredulously.
A curious little sound escaped her lips;
she raised both slender hands and un-
pinned her hat. Then she turned her
head to his.

thrilled him; then he started and lean

CHINA FLOODED
BY T0RRENTIAL
STORMS OF rain
Nearly a Million Chinese,Are
Driven From Their Homes
By Overflow of Pei Ho.

Tientsin, China, Nov. 10.-At least
100000 square miles of land in the
southern and central portions of Chin
Ii rovince2 are under water as a result
of torrential rains in the mountains
of Shansi, Honan and Western Chill
provinces which have poured their
floods into the shallow streams of
the Chilli Plain, driving 100000
Chinese from their homes. These
streams converge, together with the
Grand Canal, at Tentsin, the COM
mercia1 port Of North China, and the
distributing center for a population of
more than 100000. More than half
of the area of this city of 100000
inhabitants is under water varying in
depth from one to six feet. Rains are
continuing and it is estimated that
the flood water will not subside for
at least month, even if the rains
cease.
The Pei Ho, which is the single
stream through which all the water
courses centering at Tienstin ordinar-
lily discharge toward the ocean is
wholly inadequate to carry off the
flood Water. 1t is estimated by the
Chinese Conservancy Board that the
the head of water delivered to the Pei
Ho by the Grand Canal and various
other streams is forty times greater
than the river can accommodate. Con-
sequently all low land within a radius
of 80 or miles east, south and west
of the city is flooded. Along the Puto
Ho and less important streams feed
ing the Pei Ho there have been ter
rible losses of life and property. Hun
dreds of villages have been wiped out
entirely. More than 100000 refugees

made their way into. Tienstin on san
pans and RATS, and all bring. stories
of terrible devastation.
The Yellow River, a tremendous
stream which now enters the sea 100
miles south of Tentsin formerly had
it's mouth only twenty miles from
this city Through breaks in the
bikes along the Yellow River flood
water from that stream has found its
way into the Grand Canal by way of
the Wei River and is adding to the
tremendous torrent now delivered by
the Grand Canal to the Pei Ho.
Farmers on the south side of the
yellow River are reported to have
cut the dixie on the opposite side of
| the stream to protect their own land.
Government engineers have been un-
able to make any extensive survey of
the flooded districts as yet because of
| the difficulties of transportation.
Large and small streams are all SO
swollen that travel overland is i'm
! possible.
! Paotingfu, the capital of Chill
| Province, and many other important
cities and towns in Central Chilli, are
also flooded. But the railway south
from Picking to the Yangtze river is
washed out in many places. Conse-
quently North China is wholly with
out rail connection and river COM

Opponents of the plan Of proclaim
ing Emperor Charles, of Austria, as
King of Poland are 1aboring hard to

Karl Stephen as King of Poland I'M
der Austrian Suzerainty.
The proposed settlement of the
Eastern problem by annexing Poland
Lithuania to Germany has few friends
in Germany, aside from the propo-
nents of the idea.
Virtually the entire press opposes
it. The Conservative and Nationalist
organs are against it because they
fear the effect Of such a step upon
their own anti-Polish policy in regard
to the Polish provinces of Prussia.
The Liberal and Socialist newspapers
are indignant at the attempt to de-
eide a question involving the whole
future of Germany behind the back
of the Reichstag, and also resent the
efforts to overturn the anti-annexa-
ton peace, policy set forth in the
|Reichstag resolution.
The Socialist organ vorwarts as
serts that this proposal Of an annex
ationist policy in the most irretriev-
able form puts in the shade the crisis
regarding the CHARACTERISTIC and all
other developments of the day. 1t re-
minds the government that the .Haps-
burg monarchy, two parts of which
are absolutely non-German, while in
the third the German element has a
hard struggle to retain its influence.
may at no distant time become mil

leave definite settlements until the
