been for the two bursts of enthusiasm
when Jarvis had spoken to her and
when she smiled she would have given
the impression of being without eX-

That's fine" Jarvis said. You

Liza had quickly taken to speaking

CHAPTER XVII.
We Send Out Our Treasure.

I YE had a good deal OF trouble
IA finding the exact spot where
wv We had left him, for we
could get no answer to our
calls. He was down in n heap, COW
cred with blood and quite dead. The
savages had scalped him. In our long
companionship we had grown very
fond of him, for he was merry, good
natured, willing soul. :.
"Godw cried Bagsby, deeply moved
"I'll put ball through the next one
OF those devils 1 meet"
We returned slowly to the fire, car
rying the body, which we laid rever-
emily one side and covered with
blanket. In all our hearts burned a
fierce, bitter anger. Sullenly we turn
ed to prepare ourselves a meal from
the supplies our hosts offered us.
The latter were the father and FIVE
sons Of backwoods family from the
northwest, Pine by name. They were
all tall, heavily built men, slow NOV
ing slow speaking, with clear, steady
eyes, drawing way of talking and
the appearance always of keeping a
mental reservation as to those with
whom they conversed.
Just now they stood tall and grim
behind us as we ate. and the gray
dawn and the rose dawn grew into
day. Nobody said anything until we
had finished, then Yank rose to Els
full height and faced the atteISive
men.
'I want vengeance" he EENounced
In an even voice, stretching forth his
long, lean arm. ''Those devils have
harried our stock and killed our pard-
ner, and I'm not going to set quiet and
let them do it, He turned to us.
Boys" said he, 'I know you're with
me thar. But I'm going to git our
friends yere to go with us. Old man."
he said to Pine, you and yore sons
help us with this Job and we'll locate
you on the purtiest diggings in these
Mills"
you hetw agreed McNally.
"You don't need to make my boys no
offer" replied Pine slowly. "Those
divils were after our hosses too, and
they'd have got them IL you hadn't
come along. We'd been told by a man
we believe that there want noSInjuns
in this country or you wouldn't have
seen us sleeping es close to our fire.
Whar do you all reckon to come up
with them?"
Our old trapper interposed. ::
"Their rancheree is down the valley
somewhars," said Bagsby. "and we'll
have to scout for 1t. We must go back
to camp first and get Already"
McNally and 1 murmured against
this check to immediate action, but
saw the point after moment. The
Pines packed their slender outfit. We
bound the body of our poor friend
across his horse and mournfully re-
traced our steps.
We arrived in camp about 10 O'Clock,
to find Johnny and Don Gaspar anx-
iously on the alert. When we had i'm
parted our news their faces, too, dark
ened with anger. or us all Vasquez
had been the only man who never lost
his temper, who had always flash OF
n smile for the hardest days. Hastily.
we threw together provisions for sew
eral days and arranged our affairs as
well as we could. We all wanted to
go, and Don Gaspar, in spite of the re-
mains of his malarial fever, fairly in-
sisted on accompanying the expedition.
"Senores," he said, with dignity,
~this was my own man from my own
Reople." ------.----

LYRIC

The offering at the Lyric theatre this week is the well known Treasure Island" from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson. It deals with the pursuit of hidden treasure and of the ex- periences and adventures encountered while seeking the hidden fortune All the scenes are laid in the year 1753, the opening being at the Admiral Benbcw Inn where for some time has lived a suspected buccaneer, the inn also serves as the home for the hero of the play, Jim Hawkins. The lodger at the inn dies leaving trunk con- taining a chart of the hidden treasure which is found by the hero, Hawkins. The play carries the actors to the is- land where the booty is buried and the recovery of the treasure is fraught with many stirring situations, which are we'll handled by the Lyric Players although the stage set could be inn proved. The waits between the acts are unnecessarily long. The part of the hero is taken by Miss Adelaide Keim and while the part is not ex- actly suited to her she handles it we'll Walter Marshall as Long John Sil- verP' appears to good advantage. AL bert Gebhardt's portrayal of "Black Dog" is also deserving of mention. The widely advertised parrott failed to put in appearapce for some un- known reason.

THE STRAND

The most amazing motion picture spectacle ever produced, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" will be the attraction at the New Strand theatre, this afternoon, even- ing, tomorrow and Thursday. The spectacle is the greatest film achieve ment of the age and stands forth as an unchallenged superlative photo play in every department.
 Over two years were spent in the making of this superb master produc- ton and the film cost is estimated at about one million dollars. The young and the older folks will enjoy this film as it is not alone thrilling and intensely interesting but of great edu- cational value. The under the sea scenes were photographed through the wondeful contrivance invented by the Williamson brothers which en- abIed the camera man to be lowered many feet beneath the sea where he sat turning. the crank on the many gripping scenes introduced in tho pic- ture. It stands forth as the only gen. uine novelty of this sort. ever before attempted in the art of the motion picture. Don't fail to witness this ex- traordinary screen masterpiece ,,

Wu Ting Fang Loses Hearing and Position

Picking, April 91Dr. Wu Ting fang's service as Minister of Foreign Affairs early this mohth was brought to sudden end by his loss of hear ing. Dr. Wu accepted the foreign of- flee portfolio reluctantly at the re- quest of President Lii Yuan-hung and leaders of the different parties in China. He was a compromise candi- date who stepped in at a time when the opposing factions could not agree on anybody else.
 Dr.. Wu Ting-fang assumed office last November. He was suffering slightly with deafness at that time. Shortly after he came to Peki : he contracted severe cold and pneu- monia was threatened. Although he has recovered, his hearing is now al- most gone.
 In his letter of resignation to the president, Dr. Wu Ting-fang explains that he has despaired of recovering his hearing and says: With two ears dull to hear, there are all kinds of tnconveniences in dealing with diplo- matic affairs. At this critical time of diplomatic negotiations when a min- ute passed would mean a thousand miles loss and when things are press ing so hard, I, with the difficulty of daafness, feel reluctant to incur the charge of lingering in my office or even initiating examples of unwise persons who sacrifice themselves for the sake of their name"

Sweet Corn Should Get Place in Garden

Sweet corn should always be found in the home garden when space allows since it loses quality very rapidly af- ter being picked. Its sugar changes into starch, so that to have it at, It's best 1t should be on the fire fifteen minutes after being pulled from the stalk Those who wish to have home grown sweet corn will find the fol- lowing advice from the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture useful:
 Corn does best in fertile soil, but is able to adapt itself to all textures from sand to clay. To grow 1t in sui ficient quantities for the average fam family requires more space, however than for most garden vegetables. II should not be planted until after dan- ger of frost is past.
 The rows should be spaced not clos CT than three feet apart, and for the 1arger-g growing late varieties the dis tance had best be three and one-half feet Stalks should be thinned to stand from fifteen to eighteen inches in the row. In planting, the seed is covered with one or two inches of soil. Cultivation must be thorough, fre- quent, and shallow,
 It is possible to use the ground oc- cupied by early corn for a fall plant ing of such crops as spinach, turnips, and kale. Large varieties, however, will occupy the ground practically the whole season.
 For early use the yellow sweet corns have recently become quite popular. Of these the Golden Bantam is a we'll know variety. Early Minnesota has long been a favorite. White Mexican is a valuable early corn. Early Mala- kohf is a very early sort of excellent quality, which does better in the middle states, however. Early Adams is variety frequently grown for mar ket, and it's virtues are rather those of the market than of the table. It is flint corn, ot a sweet corn, but if used during the very short period when its qualities are at their best, it's flavor is good.
 For midseason and late use, Crosby, Potters Excelsior, Country Gentleman, Black Mexican, and StoweIs Ever green are suitable. t
 It is possible to have fairly long season of usuable corn if three vari- cities, such as Golden Bantam, Cros- by, and Country Gentleman are plant ed simultaneously in early spring. To make the season continuous until frost, however, it will be necessary to plant some variety at intervals of two or three weeks up to the last of July. Crosby is a very good variety for this purpose.

FIND "THE BARRIER" EVEN BETTER THAN
 BEACH "SPOILERS'

"The Barrier" thep hoto-drama of Rex Beach's most powerful Alaskan romance, which is to be given a weeks showing at the Plaza theatre commencing next Monday, April 16, is unanimously declared by motion pie ture experts to be '.the most revolu- tionary forward step taken in motion pictures!" In this sincere interpreta- ton of great epic of primitive life the motion picture comes into it's own as medium of dramatic expression. and at last stands side by side with the spoken drama-an art and not plaything-a living, breathing anity and not shadowy imitation.
 In "The Barrier" life is seen as it really is-you forget that picture is passing before you-you lose all con. sciousness of it's unreality-you ex- perience the same emotions, are stirred to the same depths, and lifted to the same heights, as if you stood in person among the scenes it so faithfully reproduces.
 Those have followed the develop ment of the motion picture will re- member the film production of ''The Spoilers another of Mr.. Beachs great Alaskan stories. When it is taken into consideration that ''The Barrier" is three time more forcef.sl, more potent. more thrilling, and more wonderful than the aforementioned masterpiece, it will be easier to grasp the mesning for the successful run of the picture at the Broadway theatre at top prices.
 It will be necessary, of course. to discontinue vaudeville for the week at the Plaza znd it is understood at this time that although the prices will be slightly advanced, they will range but one-third of those charged at the New York showing

TEACEREMONY IN
 JAPAN ELABORATE AND VERY FORMAL
Guest at Head of Row Drinks First Then Wipes
 and Passes Cup Alnog.

The tea ceremony is, perhaps, tne strictest and most complicated or all the ceremonies with which the cultur- ed apanese used to surround himself. The ceremony, when carried out m full, it very intricate, but 1t may De briefly described as follows:
 First, the guests who arrive on the appointed day are shown into the waiting-room, and when they are all assembled they are conducted into the tea-room. This room should proper ly be building by itself. The maxi mum number of guests is five, four Of whom sit in a row and the fifth at right angles to the rest
 The host faces the row; he brings in the tea utensils and sets them in or der The guests are first regaled with slight repast, and when it IS over they are requested to retire into the waiting-room while the host puts away the trays and plates and sweeps the room. The guests are then called in again. A small quantity of pow dered tea is put into the tea bowl which is used on these occasions, and hot water is poured into it and stir red with bamboo whisk until it is quite frOthy.
 The bowl is handed to the guest at the head of the row; he takes three sips and a half, the fourth sip being called half a sip, as it is much lighter than the first three, and, after wiping the brim carefully, he passes it on to his neighbor,p who also sips and hands the bowl to the third guest, and so on to the fifth guest, who returns it emp ty to the host
 After this loving-cup, the host stirs bowl for each of his guests, that is he makes tea in the bowl for the first guest, who drains it in three sips and a half and returns it to the host, who then washes it and makes a fresh bowl of tea for, the second guest, and so on until the last guest is served. As this process takes a long time, on ac- count of the formalities which have to be observed in making, serving and drinking the beverage, two bowls are guest is drinking the tea and admir- ing. the bowl, the host can be pre- pairing the other one.
 The complexity lies in the hard and fast rules to be observed in the ar engagement of the room, use of the utensils, the way in which the tea should be drunk, the number and style of bowls, the salutations to be made in offering, receiving and re- turning the bowls, and also in the in- structions as to when and how the bowls and other articles in the room are to be taken up and admired, and the manner of expressing such admir- ation a1d of replying thereto. The formalities are as strict as court cere- mony and are often irksome to the beginner, who is nervous and afraid of exposing himself at every step.
