Toxic advices received on Thursday
announced the ratification Of the Ger
man peace treaty by Japan. 1t is clear
from the foregoing that the ratification
was by virtue of imperial action. 1t
was not preceded by any action by the
Parliament, the constitution of Japan
not requiring the assent Of the legisla-
tive body.
Previous adyices had shown that the
treaty had been examined by the privy
council and that at a meeting on Mon
day it was approved by the council
without reservation and submitted to

DIDN'T FAzE HIS BROTHER
OF Course He Was Not Going to Ad-
nit That the Little Fellow
Was Afraid.

An Indianapolis matron was giving
a birthday party for her little daugh'
ter and had among the guests the two
sons Of the family minister. They en-
joyeG the party and made many quaint
remarks.
But at the supper table they did the
best. Suddenly the fuse burned out
and the dining room was in darkness
The hostess urged the children to sii
still until she could get some candles
"But you may eat what is on your
plates if you wish to while am hunt
ing them," she told them.
The youngest son Of the parsonage
began to weep aloud. He was really
afraid, but his older brother offered
another explanation. "He doesn't know
what to do, Mrs. -" he said. "You
see we're used to light meals at our
house, -Indianapolis News.

my eve as it seemed to have been to
Claire's. think the impression upper
most in my mind was the soundless-
ness of the place. 1t seemed as re-
mote from the bustling life of the
great city in the midst of which 1t was
as If 1t had been in the heart of a
desert.
But Mrs. Delario left me but little
time for observation; merely remark
ing that this was the seance room, she
asked If I'd seen Claire and what /
thought of her.
Well thought great deal of her
and many things about her, and while
| was considering my answer Mrs.
Delario propOunded a question that
fairly stunned me: do you think the
girl could be theft"
"Oh, never-never in the world.
What-Claire !" l cried holly, and the
picture of the high-bred girl came be-
fore me. could as soon have thought
my own sister thief. Nevertheless
was soon at loss to explain the cpl
sodes Mrs. Delario told me.
On the steamer, for instance, she
had twice caught Claire turning over
things in her-Mrs. Delario's-suit-
case. Claire excused it once by say
ing she'd accidentally put some of her
own toilet articles in 1t by mistake
while she twas too sick to notice"
But what finally brought about the
crisis was this: A sitter had given
Mrs. Delario ten-dollar bill in pay
ment for reading, and she had gone
hastily to her room for change, and
returning had left her bedroom door
ajar and a quantity of bills lying on
the bureau which she hadn't stopped to
put back into her purse. The moment
she had shown the sitter out she went
back to replace her purse and found
Claire in her room. Claire was in the
act of closing the wardrobe door and
said she was looking for her muff
Aud why her muff in Mrs. Delario's
wardrobe?
"But did she steal any money!" ]
demanded, almost in fear of the reply.
Mrs. Delario took some time to an
swer, and this is what she said: "You
know I'm so fond of the child I'd
rather think / made a mistake than
that she robbed me. 1 had two five
dollar bills-a lot of twos and ones and
several tens-and what I think / did
was to take a five and a two-seven
dollars-and rush downstairs. But
what 1 might have done was taken the
two fves-a five instead of a two
and give them to the lady. She didn't
look at them. Anyway, the other five
was gone"
1t was this sort of thing about her
that made me like Mrs. Delario SO
much--her willingness to excuse and
to wait for final proofs of peoples de-
linquencies. She hadn't even men
toned her suspicion to Claire; at the
same time the incident decided her
that she could on no account keep the
child longer in the house, the worry

while the original name stuck, Mount

AS these reports spread, Mt. Desert

Bar Harbor, the best-known sum-

east coast of the island overlooking
Frenchman's bay and the blue Allan
tic. There are gorgeous villas and ex-
pensively simple cottages in Bar Har-
Dor, a country club, golf courses,
beaches, and all the rest Of the usual
summer resort equipment.
But most people find the mountains
and lakes Of the island more inter-

the built-up resort. Birds from arc

cites from warmer ATTITUDES find their
way to the island, and brighten wood

Mt. Deserts long standing as bird

shows that it's mountains and valleys

To say I was astonished when / be-
held that neat row Of fOOtgear with
three teeth knocked out simply doesn't
express it. I was f1abbergasted. 1t
wasn't only the mysteriousness of that
particular theft-if theft it were-and
why all three slippers had been taken
and not one slipper, or one pair; 1t
was that nothing so far as l could OBJ
serve had been touched in the flat but
Just the particular objects that the day

Well, the end of all my puzzling was
that / had my choice between two ex-

fiat with a duplicate key and stolen
the slippers; or (2) that Mrs. Delario
had worked a physical manifestation"
to get her slipper home and had taken
all three at once to be on the safe side.
One explanation seemed about as
possible as the other, for didn't see
how anyone could have duplicate
key-even the janitor does not have a
pass key to the flats in this house-and
I didn't see how magic could carry off
three slippers. But whatever way
