Caesars Mistress.
RY CHARLES READE.

tcharles Reade, 1sl4-lss4. was British n
novelist and playwright s snShG p.9 o. The
Knightsbridge Mystery etc.
A Belgian nobleman had a female
friend who was dear to him, very.
She envied the equipsge Of a rival
beauty and was inconsolable by words.
So he bought her an elegant caleche ia
two-wheeled carriage with a folding
top), and a pair Of Hanoverian step
perS (fine horses; and, that she might
not only equal but SurpaSS and affilct
the rival who had so afflicted her, he
threw in a colored coachman. Him-as
black, an excellent background, especial
" for gold-he blazoned and bedizened
sore. The fair exulted, the coachman
was inflated almost to bursting.
But gratitude and affection are not
so easy to purchase as horses, car
riages, and coachmen; so the lady was
tickle; and as female friends will tell
of each other, my lord was put on his
guard. He took various measures to
learn the truth. His agents discovered
enough to increase his suspicion, but
not enough to bring the matter home.
So he determined to try his own hand.
One day that pulchra had ordered
the carriage unusually early, he pleaded
business and left the house; but he went
no farther than the stable-yard. He got
his help, blackened his face, curled and
dsrkened his hair. and put on the liv-
cry. He started Caesar for a prone
made in his clothes, and himself drove
the carriage to the door and blazed on
the box.
After a weary wait the fair emerged
In walking costume, and took her
place in the carriage, telling the sham
Caesar, haughtily, which shop to drive
to first.
She went from one shop to another.
and showed the inquiring spirit on the
box how time can be killed and yet
money wasted.
Ennui crept gradually into the place
Of suspicion, and was the less tolerable
of the two.
At last she relieved his WEAKNESS, and
renewed his excitement by drawing the
check-string at young man.
The young man, who had evidently
been waiting weary while for her, I'M
punctual, frightened up and came to
the carriage; fair hand was given him,
kissed. and held fast, and then COM
menced the game of eager petition and
feigned refusal, all before the door of
famous shop with back exit.
1t ended in the lady being persuaded
to descend and place herself entirely
under the protection and safeguard of
this young gentlemsn-a mentor whose
qualifications as a director" the dis
guised proprietor on the box happened
TO know too we'll.
You can drive home, Caesar" said
the fair, with perfect nonchalance.
A coachman must obey orders, so my
lord drove home. But first he did a

little stroke of business on his own &C
count he lifted his whip high gave two
hearty slashes, one to the fair ones
cheek. the other to her lovers nose, and
venting the rest of his feelings on the
horses, went home like mad.
He drove straight to the stable-yard,
and there found Caesar in an nl-humor
too. Strolling on the boulevard IN his
masters clothes, this worthy had
counted on admiration and conquests.
Instead of that he had encountered Ill
bred ridicule and had strutted home
disguised.
He now begged his master to give him
back his sensible clothes and resume
these ridiculous garments, that made
people laugh even when Caesar strutted
within.
You need not fear" said his master
bitterly. II will never wear these
cursed things of yours again; one learns
the truth in them"
He washed his face, and dirtied a
bucketful of water to do it; resumed
his toggery, and told Caesar that in fu-
ture he was to drive nobody but him.
Caesar aSsented with gratified pride.
The lady came home, was very Ill,
sank on a couch, and, through her
maid, demanded an interview with her
insulter.
Her insulter declined that honor; for
he knew by experience that she would
scold, storm, lament, confess half, weep,
melt and manipulate him; so he
Stunned that lovely snare"
Then she broke a tumbler and two
Dresden plates, and sent for a doctor

took to her bed. Long linen dress with
lace 8 inches deep, bewitching cap,

My lord retorted by selling the furni-
ture OF the other rooms, and stipulating
for its prompt removal.

Chairman Foley introduced Cam

JAP AN MOVES IN
MUKDEN KILLING
Threaten Intervention
in Manchuria

TOXIC, Jan. 13.-The Japanese
government is using the execution
of Yang Yu-ting, powerful Man
churian war lord and reported tool
of the Toxic imperialists, as pre-
text to again hint at armed inter-
vention in Manchuria, declaring
Yang's death is a direct threat.
Chang Tso-Cheng, governor of
the Manchurian province of Kirin,
who is influential in the imperialist
anti-Japanese faction, is stated to
have directed the executioner's arm
and not the relatively weak dictator,
Chang Hseuh-liang. 1t is said here
that Chang, VINO has opposed Japan
csc penetration of Manchuria and
favored the penetration of other
imperialists, is slated for the die
tatorship of Manchuria to replace
the present governor.
Working in the interests of other
powers Cheng took prominent part
in defeating the South Manchurian
railway loan of the japanese and
opposed the plan for the extending
the railroad into Korea, offering a
direct passage into Manchuria.
The executed war lord, Yang Yu-
ting, is said to have been one of the
tools the Japanese government used
in the assassination of the former
Manchur1an dictator, Chang Tso-lin,
who had shown tendencies not
favorable to Japan. The doing
away with Yang is taken to be
further indication that Chang
Hseuh-liang and Cheng are going
over to Japan's rivals.
In the meantime the negotiations
between the Japanese and Marking
governments are dragging along
awaiting the settlement of the Man
churian question between the i'm
reriaiists.

SOCIALIST BLOWS

G. E. Russell Writes of

Charles Edward Russell, the jingo

tho S. P. in a huge huff when the
left wing forced the adoption of the
anti-war resolution at the April,
1917, convention of the party, is up
to his old game of beating the i'm
perialist war drum.
Russell, who recently rejoined the
socialist party upon discovering
that l. was lust as strong for capi-
talism as either of the two big par
ties, writes the leading article in
the magazine section of yesterdays
New York Herald Tribune-an
article entitled "The Navy's Heri-
tage of Glory
Russell begins by saying that the
reason why call American naval
officers yearn and pray for bigger
navy" is not to further Americas
bloody imperialist ambitions, but
because Of the glorious traditions
that they have inherited! After re-
counting the. exploits of early
American naval heroes who helped
to entrench the power of the Ameri-
can capitalist class, the side-kick Of
the pacifist, Rev. Norman Thomas,
concludes: Because they have in
herited this phenomenal accretion of
great deeds and incredible daring,
the officers Of today are zealously
wishing that the navy shall not re-
main in a secondary place when
otherwise their country has sue

500 PRISONERS
REVOLT AGAINST
TERRIBLE FOOD
Men in Phila. all, Made
Desperate, Hold Off
60 Guards
Overcome by Tear Gas
Freed Prisoner Tells of
Vile Conditions

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-While
prison officials are making strenu-
Gus efforts to hush up the spon-
taneous revolt of 600 prisoners at
the Philadelphia County Prison at
Holmesburg on Friday, details of the
insurrection and of the terrible con-
ditions that aroused it continue to
leak thru.
The heroic stand of 600 prisoners
who kept more than 60 guards at
bay for "a hours before they were
finally overcome by tear gas bombs
is being answered with severe re-
prisal measures, with the leaders of
the revolt signaled out for particu-
larly brutal punishment.
The immediate cause of the revolt
is said to have been the rotten, in
edible food that was being fed to the
prisoners, tho other conditions at the
Jail also inflamed the resentment of
the men. Six hundred of them,
armed with table legs, pieces of
iron, spoons, forks and other i'm
provised weapons, shouting "We
want food" took possession of
three of the eight sections of the
prison and held the guards at bay
thruout Friday afternoon and night.
Waging a heroic fight, they drove
off the repeated attacks of the arm
ed guards until the tear gas bomb
squad was brought in at ten o'clock
yesterday morning. Overcome by
the bombs, many of the prisoners
ct fire to their mattresses and threw
them into the corridors. The flames
were put out by the prison guards
who also turned the hose on the
prisoners already dazed and blinded
by the tear gas.
Revolt Started Friday.
The revolt started at mess hour
at noon Friday when the prisoners,
driven desperate by diet of all
sorts of filthy odds and ends that
were labelled food, began throwing
cups and dishes around and finally
gained possession of three sections
of the prison. So bitterly did the
prisoners fight that the authorities
sent call for reinforcements to the
Moyamensing County Prison and 20
extra guards were dispatched.

Lithuania Reveals the

KOVNO, Lithuania, Jan. 13 W.D.
The official government news
paper "Lietuva" today described the
situation in eastern Europe as zone
of extreme tension which may lead
to catastrophe" as result of rela-
tions between Poland and Russia.
Under the heading "MoscOw's
Proposal and Poland's Policy" the
newspaper discussed the recent
Soviet suggestion that Poland, Rus
sia and Lithuania agree independ-
emily to the policy of the Kellogg
anti-war treaty. Poland accepted
the suggestion with notifications" !"
Poland was prompted by desire
to sever the Ukraine from Soviet
Russia, the newspaper asserted, de-
claring that quarters close to Pre-
mier Pilsudski of Poland had urged
quick action because they believe
the Soviet's position is weak at
present.
The newspaper claimed to have
knowledge of documents which
hardly permit doubts of aggressive
plans of Poland" 1t referred to the
arrival of ships at Dantzig harbor
carrying arms and ammunition de-
stined for Poland. Furthermore, the
newspaper claimed an illegal army
was being formed of Ukrainians in
Polish territory, at Kielce and Move
