how are you going to get the flag
away from Pekin? our soldiers
are there and carried the stars and
stripes with them, and if your doc-

is true, you cannot get your soldiers
away from Pekin, and if you fol-

in Manila, you Lave got to take the
whole Chinese empire, because we
took all the islands of the Philip-
pines, and if that doctrine is true
wo have got to take the 400,000,000
subjects over there.
"It is a thousand times lieller to
haul down the flag in the l'hili|»-
pine islands and raise the flag of
the Philippine republic than to
change our flag from the flag of the
republic to the flag of an empire.”

“This sort of game is all very well,
but If it lastB much longer I shall be a
perfect wreck.” said Arthur Mason to
himself one evening as be sat gazing
thoughtfully at the fireplace. “For the
past six months I have been bead over
heels In love with Vera Fray and, what
Is worse, not bad the pluck to tell her
so. But she is such a peculiar girl!” be
argued In self defense “If it was any
one else, I wouldn't hesitate a mo­
ment.”
Mason was a man of al>out 25 aud as
full of passion and sentiment as a mr. i
well could be. But he had been brough
up in orthodox English style, with
many sharp lessons never to Ix-tray his
feelings. These lessons had been so
hammered Into him lu his youth that
he fouud now that even against bis
own wishes It was almost impossible
to show what h.s real opinion was of
anything that affected his likes or dis­
likes. When he was most happy, peo­
ple thought him sad. and vice versa.
It was perhaps on account of the pe­
culiar way he had of looking at things
that he Invariably saw the funny side
first, sometimes ot) the most serious oc­
casions.
Ills passion for Vera at times made
him laugh, aud when on the verge of
proposing to her the thought would
strike him how foolish he would look.
The truth of It was he knew too much
of the world, and t' e love affairs of his
friends had appeal ' ridiculous to him. I
One of the chief ...tractions of Vera I
in his opinion was her passive nature,
and it was that perhaps which made
him falter. The idea of her being In
love seemed absurd to him.
The week following the self com­
muning» Just recorded lie knew that
Vera would be at a dinner purty to
which he had also been invited, and he
determined, if an occaslou arose for a
serious talk, to have the matter set­
tled. How he would manage it he did
not dare to decide. Chance, be thought,
would have to be his guide.
Mrs. Fairburn's drawing room was
packed on the night of the dinner, so
much so that poor Mason's heart sank.
If Vera did come, his op|»ortunlty for a
tete-a-tete with her appeared small.
She was a popular person, and be
knew she would l>e dragged off to en­

At dlnuer Vera sat directly opposite
him, and he Inwardly blessed his host­

flowers, ferns or ornaments, which
would have hidden her charming, clear
cut features from lilm. When looking
at her. a ealiu always came over him
thut he could not explain. Even whan
absent from her he generally pictured
her as a limpid spring from which
peace was always flowing. Nothing
on earth, he Imagined, could ever rutile

The dinner pass«’«! off perfectly. All
seemed thoroughly pleased with tbem-
selvee and the world in general.
It was an hour later, aud he was sit­

room. They were enjoying an aulmat-
e«l discussion on some topic of public

fall In the tide of argument: “This

Vera was nothing loath.
