One of the most splendid feats of arms In the present war in the Bast was the battle o f Kin-Chau, in which :he Japanese charged and captured the heights held by tlie Russians, thereby eatabllahlng their place among tiie foremost miltary people o f the world. The heights were strongly fortified and were deemed practically Impregna ble.

He frequently caught night o f her. but rhla was the extent of their acquaintance. He had groan ed more than once to think convention ality forbade a more extended one. (the was not the kind of a girl with •whom one might scrape up a bowing recognition, to be later elaborated Into an Interchange o f commonplaces that might culminate In permission to call. Indeed. If she had been. It la safe to conclude Berensen would not have troubled tkls head about her, for he had a social position to maintain, a good deal o f persona! pride and more than the average sense of exduslve- ■eaa. “ Hallo!” he said, suddenly, and stop ped short. The girl ahead had paused. She was evidently in some predicament for she atooped as though to extricate herself or to pick up an article dropped. A l most at the same Instant how ever a tremendous dray, piled with boxes, Lore down upon her, and at the shout o f the driver, who was striving to rein in his huge Percherons, she sprang toward safety and reached the sidewalk. Berenson let the dray pass. Looking down directly on the spot where the girl had hesitated, he saw that which had arrested her. and bending quickly, he pulled out of the thick, black, sticky mud an absurdly small rubber, with its wrinkles holding the arch of a high Mttle Instep. “ WeH!” be ejaculated, “ here’s luck!” He felt ridiculously elated. So pleased did he look. In fact, that a friend Jostling him as he reached the opposite sidewalk remarked his satis faction. “ Wheat gone up. Berenson?" “ No—rubber!” laughed Berenson. And his friend walked off, wondering what there was hi fishing footwear out o f the mire to make a fellow look so Idiotically pleased. “ It was mighty muddy, too!” he co in mooted disgustedly. This accusation could not be made against It an hour later, cleanaed and polished to the highest possible degree by the man who kept the shoestand In tbs office building where Berenson had a suits. He took his prise upstairs, and deposited It, wrapped In tlsaue pa per. on the top of bis desk. Then he sauntered to the window to look over at the skyscraper across tbs way, whers at a certain window, In a certain tier, he had often seen a certain head. It was a shapely head, ringleted as close as a baby’s with sunny brown curls. Indeed, so fre quently o f late had he goue to his own casement to discover If that particu lar bonnte head and rose-leaf face were within range o f bis vision that his business began to suffer from such erratic absences. Not that Jack Berenson was bother ing himself about business. Luring those minutes he stood, absorbed In day dreams, staring apparently at the uninteresting wall o f an uninteresting building, he was thinking for the moat part how strange it was that he, who had come gaily up the road of life, heart whole and fancy free, until he had reached his thirtieth milestone, should all at once be beset by the most chimerical hopes, the most fu tile desires, the most glorious of cha otic Imaginings It was lunacy, he told himself— stark, staring lunacy—that he should go on his way with a bounding heart and a. feeling o f the most senseless exhilaration. Just because he had pass ed & girlish figure on the sidewalk, met the Indifferent glance of violet, black-lashed eyes, looklDg forth from beneath a white brow, or caught the faint, elusive perfume of her demure garments. And the worst o f It was that he could not bring himself to be Indignant with himself for being such a fool! “ You like to be a fool!” be told him self angrily, “ You’re hugging your fol ly! And much good It will do you! You’ ve not got enough sense, Jack Be renson, to last a crazy man till break fast tim er With which final shot he was'apt to break away from his vigil, return sternly to bis desk and plunge Into work until— until he began to wonder If she might have returned to her chair In the window, or by any chance be going ou t Though whether out or In, there had seemed slight chance of making her acquaintance before Fate, In the guise o f a treacherous street crossing, had placed a belonging of hers In his possession. * But when he had sallied forth with his prize his courage almost failed him. And when the elevator man let him off at the eighth floor, as bidden. It was an insane desire to make his Im mediate escape by way of the stair case that overwhelmed him. But hs pulled himself together and went to ward the suite of doctor's offices, which he knew occupied that particu lar angle o f the big building. Some of the physicians whose names were In scribed on the tablet In the corridor were friends of his. “ Hope I don’t run Into Norton, or Rchriener, or MacIntyre," he said. “ Hope I don't.” But he did—all three o f them. They and a few of their professional asso ciates had met in the reception room previous to attending a medical con vention In a body. It seemed to poor Berenson, standing helplessly In the doorway with his package In his hand, that the place was packed with eyes— curious. Inquisitive, mocking eyes! But a few voices called out pleasant ly enough, ' ».alio— how d’ye do, Be renson T And MacIntyre came for ward with a smile that made hla ugly countenance quite charming. “ Your— the young lady— ” stammer ed Jack.

It may be Interesting to recall the fact that there Is right here In North America a “holy railroad.” This Is a little line twenty-one miles long, from Quebec to 8te. Anne I>e Beaupre.

Every Sunday the trains are crowded by devotees In search of the blessing of the good Saint Anne, who Is credited with the miraculous power of healing, and on July 2(1, Saint Anne’s day, the road cannot ae commodate the enormous crowds which flock to her shrine. Think o f riding on a holy railroad! But those who hare traveled on It know that they must not expect the comforts o f paradise. It may be called “ holy," but It seems to be run, none the lees, with an eye to dividends. The charges are high and the service poor. — New York Times. T h e H u b m e rg e d S e v e n th .

"W h y ," the new member would ex claim, ” do you know I was elected by the suffrages o f seven different nationalities?” One day some one asked him to name the nationalities. He gave them: “ Irish, German, Polish, Bohemian, j Swedish and Greek.” “ But you have named only six na tionalities," said the seeker after knowledge. “ What was the seventh one?" The new member again ran over his little list, but could not remember the seventh nationality. At this Juncture some facetious bystander chipped In j with the remark: “ Maybe there were some Americans In the bunch." “ Good for you!” shouted the new Representative, lustily, slapping his thigh.
