the cigarette on the parade
Vl gfound a few hours back, sat
before a narrow window In her room
at Government House fighting a great
bewilderment.
Could there now be any doubt of
what she felt to be the truth? First,
she had met Captain Woodhouse on
the Express du Nord-an officer in the
English army, by his own statement,
returning from leave in England to his
post In Egypt. Then the encounter of
last night at the Hotel Splendid, Cap
tain Woodhouse first denying his iden-
t1ty, then admitting it under the en-
forced pledge that she should not re-
veal the former meeting. Captain
Woodhouse, not in Egypt, but at Gil
braltar, and, as she had soon learned,
there with papers of transfer from an
Egyptian post to the garrison Of the
Rock. Following this surprise had
come General Crandall's logged exam
ination of that m~orning-his blunt dec
laration that a serious question as to
the captains position at Gibraltar had
arisen and his equally plain spoken
threat to have the truth from her con-
corning her knowledge of ne suspect
ed officer.
To cap all, the message on the ciga-
rette! An informer-she guessed the
prefix to the unfinished word-had de-

the cigarette case plainly defined that.

denounced, but in the same message
adjures him to play your own game"

EVOLUTION WAS PARTICIPATING
 DOCTRINE:

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo Al to, April 21. - That the doctrine of evolution has not been an unmixed good. although it has brought a real emancipation. is a statement made by Frederick J. E. Woodbridge, dean of Columbia University, in an address before the convention Of the Pacific division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The address, on the History of Eyolu. tion" was, in part, as follows:
 "The doctrine of evolution was, m. doubtedly, the most liberalizing and emancipating doctrine of the nine teenth century. Although it had been advanced in one form and another by philosophers from antiquity, it had little decisive effect on scientific and historical investigations until aftei the publications by Darwin. Since then it has penetrated nearly every department of inquiry"

AbD|CA T|ON OF KAISER |S
 PREDICTED

The abdication of the German em- man magistrate who wrote the cele- brated book, "J'Accuse," in an inter view published in Ouvde. He says: "The kaiser Is obsessed with the thought that he is responsible for the war, a thought which poisons his whole existence. He feels that he IS menaced by the three enemies at home without counting those abroad: First, | is the crown prince, the real author 1 of the war; second is the junker pan | Germanist - you can not imagine the smouldering hatred of the emperor for those whom he believes to be the ma niacs who are driving him into an abyss; third, are the people, not the
 Socialist party, but the people who are
 starving and who he feels are growing in number and rising little by little against those who organized the war.
 Tn particular he was personally op-
 posed to break with President Will
 son, but he was forced to consent.
 Documents will be published one day
 which will prove that secretly he did
 everything not to bring America down
 upon him and that he considers that
 the rupture was an irreparable mis take. The failure of the submarine
 war will show that he was right, but it will be too late.
 "He wants to continue popular al any price, and that is why he spoke the first word of peace. The people were grateful for it. but the submar inc war came and spoiled everything Tt is hard to realize how the em peror, who enjoyed a popularity un : eXampled in our epoch, suffers in, hi

WABBLE OF SHOOTERS KNEES
Close Scrutiny VIII Indicate Whether
Man ls Seasoned Sport or
just Beginning.

The popular detective OF fiction,
Sherlock Holmes, once admitted that q
mans knees were the seat Of great en-
lightenment, and from this source he
drew many Of his deductions.
II Is interesting, therefore, to scru-
tinize a trapshooter's knees while he
Is In action. Do they wabble not? He
Is seasoned shooter In good physical
condition. Do they wabblef He is
anxious, perhaps a little new at the
game, but SO happy and willing to get
that next target he cares little whether
the sun shines or the equInoctial is on.
1t Is fascinating sport without
placing strain on the nervous system !;
In fact. trapshooting steadies the
nerves. 1t combines sport with fresh
air and sunshinf and saves many
physicians bills.
Physicians and nurses recommend
the sport as health tonic, and II the
patients follow the advice given there
will not be much need for the physI
clan and the nurse.

world. Her chemical industry is -four

cotton, while her -four milling in

not too much to say that Japan's ex-
pansion In the cotton and shipping
industry will place her In a position
for severe competition in all Pacific
markets in the future: and this COM
petition Is backed by government sup
port in every form and a business
personnel keenly alive to special and
national interests. Industrially she
has no trade unions to contend with
and the artisan population Is absO-
lutely In the hands Of employers.
Strikes are seldom heard of and

WHEN ONE HIT COUNTS MOST
William Chase Temple Figures Differ
enee Between $50 and $50
Hitter In Ball Game.

The difference between $50 and n
$50 hitter Is just trifle more than
one hit in every three games. Sounds
astonishing-but 1t is true. Just about
one-third Of a safety per game divides
the Cobbs and the Speakers and the
Jacksons from the hoi polio! among
swatsmiths.
William Chase Temple, donor of the
Temple club and one of the best rec
ord men on the national game In its
entire history, has figured 1t out. He
has taken all the averages of both
leagues to reach his conclusions.
Temples statistics show that each
player In the National league averages
3.64 times ut bat per game, while the
American league averages 80 times.
making the grand average of 1862
at bat for every major league player
In each game.
"Having reached these figures, l
then found that to bat $50 in 100
games player would have to make
127 hits" said Temple. "A $50 bat
ter will make 81 hits In every 100
games. That shows n difference of &c
hits in every 100 games between a
$50 and a $50 hitter.
Therefore, 1t can be seen readily
that the. $50 hitter, making 80 more
hits in each 100 games than does the
.25O man, averages only about one
third hit more per game than the low
hitter. or 1.0S hits in very three
games."
