Before any reply could be made the i girl, with a low bow, turned and fled rapidly up the stair. It was a sombre arid silent oroces- of keys. With pleasure, monsieur," repui2 the girl, with a graceful Inclination.

"The charge will be one franc," and hei merry laugh echoed In the old courtyard. "Mademoiselle. I assure you the of accompanying you would be cheap at a thousand." "Oh. It ii auite plain," she said to i hint over her shoulder, as she lightly mounted the stair, -mat i nave at last er.gnged In my rroPee avocation.

Yes." he said, "if Madame Clement did not use ber influence to dispossess you." "What a dreadful- woman!" cried the girl, with something almost resembling a shudder. "And to think that up to this day I have worshiped her from afnr." "She a beast," said Adolph, with convicition. But a great actress," sighed the girl. "You have seen her on the stage, then?" "Oh, often, and always nearly cried my eyes out." "That ciid not interfere with their flashing nre today. I never saw anything more magnificent," cried the enthusiastic young man.

looking the admiration he felt. The girl veiled the brilliants under discussion. "The elderly gentleman Is your father. Is he not. and manager of the Theater Traeique? I have often heard of him, but never saw him before.

I did not think so distinguished a man could be so cowed and browbeaten by any woman." "Alas," replied the young man with a sigh, "we are all the victims of some woman, if not In one way, then in another. My name," he continued, "is Adolph Gerard. May I have the hippiness of learning yours, Mademoiselle?" "Pr 'line Ducharme," she answered, looking up at him. "But I thought. Monsieur Gerard, that you came to study ancient history, and not to learn anything so modern us my undistinguished name." "It need not remain undistinguished" he cried, with enthusiasm.

"I am sure you are an actress." "My friends have flattered me by calling me so. I had, a small part at the Theater Apolion. Monsieur Gerard, 1 shall be perfectly frank with you. This morning a white dove with a leaf in its beak alighted for a moment on my window-sill I had een praying to my saint for and when I saw the bird I knew that my chance would come today. A dove brought back a branch to the ark to show that the waters had abated.

When I saw Madame Clement this morning my heart leaped with Joy, and I said to myself, my chance is cominsr from the hands of a woman I have adored ever since I was a little girl. But when you spoke. Monsieur, I knew It was to come through you. was waiting for you at the foot of the stair when you returned." are no Japanese policemen: and a Japanese policeman is himself the court of final justice in most coolies' cases. A Japanese can not be tried by a Korean court; there are no mixed courts, no Japanese courts.

Redress for wrongs suffered at the hands of Japanese must be gained from Japanese consuls; of these there are three In Fusan. Seoul, and Chemulpo. It becomes evident that a Korean In Chinnampo or Tla-den, who is robbed of his property. Is robbed that's all. Land could be had in another way.

When the Seoul-Fusan railway was built by a mixed company of Japanese and Koreans, it was upon the scheme of the Union Pacific road In the United States, the Seoul government allowing liberal concessions of land along the entire route. This property the railway has leased to Japanese tenants at low rates. As a result, at every station between Fusan and Seoul there is a little colony of Japanese, which is invariably grouped within a high hoard fence. i Korean is allowed to come within this fence save by special dispensation. The Seoul-Fusan railway is provided with guards from the regular Japanese army, there being four camps of fifty men each between the two termini.

At each of these stations there are barracks flying the military flag, and the Korean villagers see arms stacked on the station plotform once a day as a relief guard turns out to ride to its station on the train. And hesides the walled settlement, which none may enter save by permission, there is the presence of troops to remind the Korean of the fact that he is conquered. After the pioneers had conquered the country, the merchants cam to traffic with the conquered. For a year past, since the investment and fall of Port Arthur practically assured the Japanese of success In the war, there has come to Korea an amy of small merchants, peddlers, arid tinkers, which has swelled the number of Japanese In Korea to fifty-five thousand, as announced by the foreign office in Tokio on September 1. These traders have spread to the outlying districts of the country.

Phyong-y'ang. Mckpu, the north proviaces along the Yalu. and the west coast up to Oensan and the Amur boundary. And they have come to stay. At Chinnampo they have occupied the entire water-front and built go-downs of corrugated Iron.

At Phy-ong-yang they have a settlement of over a hundred new houses. Antung they have completely absorbed; there ia colony tier ot two hundred odd. young woman held In her hand a bunch in a plaintive tone, "that vour desire to ce me return might be partly per sonal, a- well as theatrical." The girl lauded brightly and looked frankly into his eyes. "If that were true." she said. would not expect me to confess it.

Therefore let us leave the personal element to care of itself. I know you are an actor, for I have seen you play. You have your foot on the boards, and the whole world lies before you. I want you to extend a hand to me. and help me to a position on the stage.

If cannot maintain it, then let me sink; all I want is my chance." As the girl said this she seemed to grow in stature, tall as she was. Her voice rang with a confidence that confirmed the young man's opinion of her histrionic abilities. "You shall have your chance," he cried. "Durand has written a great play culled 'The Due de Guise. Ho has taken some liberties with history.

I and Catherine, the queen, is the hero- ine. Mme. Clement has been blowing hot and cold for months past, driving the dramatic author to the verge of distraction. Several times we have come to a deadlock, the madame wishing more lines put in or others changed, and Durand obstinately Inflexible, as he has every right to be, and tioor father the buffer between them. I am tired of madame's atti tude.

Durand has fled to the country, and no one knows where he hides. Yesterday madame was all for the play, and nothing would do but my father must get a private car to bring her and part of the company to Blois. Now I feel it in my heart that the madame Is going to make the final outburst and revolt today. She hasn't changed her. mind for twenty-four hours, so a revolution is due.

You live in Blois, mademoiselle: may I venture to ask your address?" "I live with my father, No. 16 Rue de Tours." "Very well." said Adolph, noting down the number and street. "I will go to Paris at once, and if things are as I hope to find them I shall briefly console my father, then return ihere bringing with me a copy of the play. Old Durand takes the Figaro wherever he is, so I shall put an advertisement in tiiot nanAr whph 1 1 nintip win un derstand. When he communicates with me I shall induce him to come to Blois and coach you in your part." "But may not Monsieur Durand object to so unknown a person as I taking the leading part in bis great play?" "Object? Ob.

no! How little you understand the conceit of the successful dramatic author; it quite equals that of Mme. Clement herself. Durand fully believes his play would be a success if it were acted by chimney sweeps. And now, adieu, mademoiselle. I must return by slow train to Paris." So well did Mademoiselle Ducharme enact the love scenes of the drama with Monsieur Adolph Gerard that they seemed to have carried their respective parts into private life, for the same journals have related that they began their wedding Journey at Tours.

The Japanese in Seoul today number eighteen thousand. A typical shop in Chinnampo, which offered itself for an inventory upon my seeming desire to make several purchases of cloth, displayed the following for Korean purchase: Of Singer sewing-machines, there were two in stock; a complete stock of Japanese cooking Otensils from habachl to brolllng-lrons: of cloth, bolts of Turkey red. cheap cottons from Osaka, calico prints and a coarse woolen such as Japanese use for winter clothing; of white, unbleached linen, such as the Korean gentleman uses for Ills dress, there was not a yard. American-made lamps and Standard kerosene found place on the shelyes; there were cheaply framed mirrors, brass geegaws for the and cheap bowls and tea-cups in blue The food products for sale were strictly Japanese. At a glance over this stock offered for sale to the Koreans.

It Is evident that the Japanese merchant believes in the coarse followed by his pioneer brothers, the coolie, the artisan, and the camp-follower; that of forcing the conquered people to accept Japanese dictation, willy-nilly. The Korean may buy the sewing machine I have seen him using It but he will card his own wool and spin his own raw cotton, purchased from the Chinese, before he win. buy Osaka prints and Japanese flannels. He will not buy Japanese china because it is Japanese, nor will he admire his beauty in a Japanese mirror, if he can buy one with "Made in Germany" on its back. In Fuean they have a three-story brick museum, erected by a Japanese commercial society, where, in glass cases, are displayed articles of Japanese manufacture.

I went there on four different 00 caslons, and the only Korean ou the premises was a beggar at the door. The Korean will not buy from the Japanese because he hates the Japanese, tie will not accept one of the Japanese innovations in food, style of dress, or household furnishings, because it is Japanese. Because the Japanese have made him feel that he is a conquered man and a vassal, he bitterly detests everything Japanese, and practically boycotts Japanese goods. The traders have not yet been made to feel the effects of this antipathy, because in the boom times of the present immigration there are enough of their countrymen dally arriving to keep up bustness; but when the lull comes there will surely be a crash.

About a year ago this department a-ave an answer to this question, and developed the fact that there ar about as many ways of measuring eorn in the crib as there are peopU who know how. Something like twenty different rules were submitted, eaob guaranteed to be the only accurate one. Here Is one of the ways, but we do not guarantee Its accuracy: First find out the number of cubic feet la Jour crib, then reduce that to Inches and divide the result by 2 to get rid ot" the cob; then divide the result by 2.150 which is the number of cubic inches in a bushel and that will glv you the number of bushels in yom crib. For instance: Suppose you wish to And out the number of bushels of shelled corn in a crib of 1,000 cubic feet tilled with ear corn. You reduce the cubic feet to inches by multiplying it by 1.728, the number of cubic inches In a foot.

This will give you 1728.000 cubic inches. Divide this by 'i to get rid of the cob and you have Divide this by 2,150 cubic Inches, the number In a bushel, and we have a little over 401 bushels of f.hcUcd coin in your bin. G.

and Adolph Gerard, a man who. Paris said, looked like Moliere, paieed anxiously up and down the platform in front of the car. Gerard was manager of the Theatre Tragique. the company of which had fteen rehearsing the play entitled "The Ijuc de Guise." for which all Paris was eagerly Th famous dramatist lJurand, was said, had.

"It Is a foolish business at best, the Hlols tour, and now when we ran so HI spare the time, when all Paris is t.n tlif qui vive. and we need evry moment of our two months for preiairatlon. what must this capricious woman do but hale us on a wild goose half across France. I have been thanking tiie fates that she did not demand a special train, and now when all arrangements are made she has probably changed her mind, without even informing us.

The railway officials were now, with loud voices, request ins Intended pas- Beugers to take their places in the train, when, at' the very last moment. there sailed maJeslUally past the portal official tall woman well on In middle age, followed by a maid carrying wraps and other impedimenta, aha made entrance as If tho platform were a stage, and indeed the news of her presence spread electrically up and down, and many craned ithelr necks to get a glimpse of "It Is the great Mme. Clement," ran the word. The change in the manner of old Gerard, was instantaneous. He rapidly approached the tragedienne, bowing and mulling and rubbing his hands one over the other.

"Ah, my good Gerard." said the actress, "am I late?" "Oh," no, madame." lied the manager, fawning. "There is ample time. Dejeuner will be served when you do us the honor to command It, any time you please between here and Blols. The young man held the open door of the private carriage while his father, with cringing ofneiousuess, assisted Mme. Clement to enter.

There were. In the lengthy compartment, some half dozen actors and actresses belonging to the company of which madame was the star. They rose as she came in; she inclined her had with some hauteur an herself to her satisfaction. Hardly was this accomplished when the train drew out from the shadow of the station into the brilliant sunlight. The manager, his face wreathed in smiles, still rubbing his hands like a benignant grocer, said, addressing the assemblage: "We have a beautiful day for our most charming excursion: and for -the little outing, which I hope We shall all enjoy, wo have to thank Mme.

Clement. The Due de Guise, as you are doubtless aware, was murdered in tho Chatau de Blols, second Moor. Iti has beeu most opportunely suggested by madame that it might be well for her leading associates to see the actual surroundings among which this tragic event took place. "While we are: rehearsing the play which the Illustrious Durand has written. It has been wisely thought that if we view the acrne where the culmination occurred, something of the spirit of the time irtay influence you, and thus i "Oh.

But whet la more to the purpose than bombastic- speeches, open a bottle of champagne ut once and cause dejeuner to be served as speedily as may be. What time does this train reach Blols?" "At 2 o'clock, madame," murmured the abject manager, effectually crushed.

Promptly at i o'clock the express derw up at the station of Blols. The distinguished company descended, and the private car was uncoupled from the train, to be attached later to the "Ila.p-lde" for Paris. At the foot of the grand circular staircase, the roof of which was decorated with the salamanders of. Francis the party met a tall and very beautiful young woman, who held tn her hand a bunch of keys. "We are desirous," said the manager to this queenly- girl, "of seeing through the chateau.

Where should we apply for permission to do so?" "No permission is required replied the girl. "1 shall be pleased to conduct you. Be so good as to follow me." The girl preceded them up the winding stairway, when her footsteps were arrested by the commanding tones of ilmc. Clement's voice. Stop, she cried.

"I have no wish to explore the various nooks and crannies of this wretched chateau. I desire you to take us at once to the rooms In which Henri le Balafre, Due de Guise, was assassinated. We have no time to spare, and I bid you make haste." The girl paused and looked over ber shoulder arid down upon them with a glance and action that would have done credit to; the great actress herself, "if you will hav the p.tience to follow me. Wnie.

After closelv studying the proposition I have found that in a majority of the cases where drowning was employed, the suicide had repented almost as soon as he had struck the water.

There can be but one explanation ot this, and that Is that the cold water, or the contact -with Jt restores the reason to the one seeking self-destruction, and he immediately repents. In nine cases I 1 company of actors had been instantaneous. "Beg pardon, madume," ventured young Gerard, his face flashing, "but we have ample time, and mademoiselle has Interested me so much in the beginning of the story, that. I confess, I should like to hear it through to the end." The unfortunate father of the overbold young man gazed at him in mute, amazed beseecliment, and the great tragedienne turned upon him like an enraged tigress. dare you?" she cried.

"Oh, Adolph, Adolph," pleaded the father, "apologize to madame. You do not think what you are saying, my son." "1 willingly apologize to madame." replied young Gerard, "if 1 have said anything to give her offense. 1 merely wished to suggest that It Is somewhat futile to come two hundred kilometers I from Fa" to run hrouf' rooms if we were riders at the hip- podrome. An expression of agony came upon the face of his down-trodden father as he saw the effect of his son's words upon the actress. What that thoroughly angered woman might have said never will be known, for the girl, already at the door leading out of the guards' hall, spoke In a tone of calm and cutting clarity: "Will you be so condescending as to follow me Into the king's chamber? My time Is limited, and 1 can give only a certain amount of it to those who pass through these rooms.

If you wish to engage in private discussions you can do so in the court yard below, where doubtless other visitors are now waiting for me." Madame Clement was so thunderstruck at the girl's audacity that, for a moment she was speechless, and before she had collected her wits the whole party was in the smaller room on the north front of the chateau, where Kins Henrv III. had slept. They were all deeply agitated, but pretended not to be so. They razed about the room and through the windows at the street be low, while their conductor stood silent like an offended goddess. and was about to precede them, without speaking, into the third room, when Mme.

Clement addressed her in a voice trembling with anger. "What happened in this room?" she cried. "I would have you understand that we are not here to be the victtms of your rurnl sulklness. Say your lesson, parrot." "Madam," replied the girl, "in the guard's room I spoke, and you rudely commanded me to be silent. In the king's chamber I am silent, and you have rudely commanded me to speak.

Madam, I find some difficulty in pleasing "You Impudent Jade, how dare you so addreess yourself to me? Apparently you know to whom you speak, therefore speak respectfully." "Respect, madame," said the girl, "always commands respect. On the walls of this building are graven the words, 'liberty, Equality, I considered you my equal, madame, until your language and your manner to me too clearly proclaimed you my Inferior; I cannot, therefore, regari you with feelings of fraternity, and exercise my liberty in paying to yi that If you do not treat me with civility I will lock the doors upon you and refuse to conduct you further." "You vien!" cried the actress, "I Shall see friends of mine in the government and have such a custodian as you turned out Into the streets, where you doubtless belong." The girl laughed in rippling tones, rich and melodious. "There she said, jiolnting to a spot near the wall, "the Due de Guise fell and died, having fought his way, covered with forty wounds, from the third room beyond. We now enter the ad Joining chapel here prayers were being said for the success of the crime." To the great relief of the old manager there were no further hostilities until the party found itself, ogain in the courtyard. The ma.nage'r with a sigh of comfort offered their conductor a piece of gold.

"Stop!" cried Mme Clement. "You shall pay her exactly what the law- allows, and nothing more. One franc for each person." "Madame Is rig'nt," replied the girl. "I will give you the change, monsieur; I have in my pocket." The old man held out his hand and she counted the silver pieces into it. "That is a franc too much, mademoiselle." said the manager.

"I refuse to accept a franc for Mme Clement. She has journeyed through the chateau as my guest, and I should like you to know, madame. that all your interest with the government will not enable you in the least to injure rue. I am a Parisian, like yourselves, at Bloi3 for a short holiday. The old man who is custodian of the chateau knows nothing of my presence hare, for he is bed-ridden through honorable wounds receved in the service of his country; it is his wife and daughter who usually conduct visitors through the chateau.

The peace of Portsmouth aJid the re newed and amplified alliance with England bring Japan face to face with a grave problem, the government of Korea as a colony. The peace treaty-recognises Japan's predominating influence in Korea; the Anglo-Japanese pact confirms and guarantees this status: it now remains for Japan to exercise the privileges thus insured in the manner most advantageous to herself.

In simple fact, whether the Trkio government allows the present shadow of Korean sovere-ig-nty to continue Its farcical existence or whether a protectorate be established over Korea, Japan enters, for a second time In her history as a modern nation, the role of a colonizer. In Formosa, It Is granted, she has done admirably well. In Korea, all observers, save the Japanese themselves, say she has made a bad start. Without touching- upon the issues of Japanese intrigue and political shifting of the weights at Seoul, a survey of the Japanese regime of colonisation, as exemplified in the hundred villages, may serve to make clear some of the reasons why this Is go. At the opening of the war with Russia there were, roughly, twenty thousand Japanese in Korea, says a writer tn the ArsorAut.

Of this number fully a half were located in Fuun. a town practically Japanese since the invader Hideyoshi was driven back to "Japan In the seventeenth century; eight thousand lived in the Japanese settlement of Seoul and the remaining numbers were scattered through the seaport towns of Chemulpo, Muampo, Chln-nampo and Wiju. on the eastern and southern of the peninsula. 1M-rectly the war commenced. there flocked in the wake of the army of occupation a swarm of coolies, artisans and camp followers who followed the line of the advancing Japanese wave from Seoul right through the peninsula to the Yalu.

The coolies and the laborers, having been shipped sion that walked to the railway sta- tlon and entered the waiting car. The 'Rapide" had not yet come in from the west. i Father and son walked together up and down the platform, and the old I man was iu a state of deepest dejection. "Oh. Adolph, Adalph!" he cried, i "There will be jnuch to pay for tills day's work.

What are we to do? Oh, what are we to do? "There is plenty of time." replied th young mail, sooth ifigly. "Durand's I play cannot possibly come on for two months yet, and the madame cannot break her contract with you until the run of the 'Princess Diaboline' ends. 1 If she cuts up rough about the 'Due de you can keep the 'Princess' running and hold the madame to her contract." "It is easy enough to say that, Adolph, but you forget that I also am under contract to produce Durand's tragedy." "Nothing can be easier," replied Adolp'a Jauntily. "There Is the theater Apolion vacant I should take that if I were you and so bring opt Durand's play." "But my dear son," objected the old man, "there isn't a woman in my company except the madame who can take the part of Catherine." "Don't trouble about that, father," replied the son. hove an actress in my eye for the part, who will burst upon Paris with all the brilliancy of a skyrocket." "Good he.i vens!" cried the old man eagerly.

"Who is she Adolph? Do I know her?" "You may have seen her, but I doubt if you know her." As ne spoke tho "Rapide" came thundering in. and the old man hurried toward tho private car. "Oh, Adolph," he beseeched. "you will apologize to her. my boy, for my sake? And don't mind anything she says." "I have a better plan than that, father." said Adolph.

"I will go on to Paris by a later train. You see. I am not in the cast, and it won't matter. You can speak soothingly to the madame, as is your custom and throw all the blame on my shoulders." Adolph Gerard saw the "Rapide" disappear: then, with a laugh, he turned and walked again to the chateau. The girl with the keys looked up as he approached the foot of the grand stairway, and she smiled without evincing surprise at seeing him.

"Mademoiselle." said Adolph. raising his hat with the utmost courtesy, "would you do me the honor to conduct me to the room in which the to Korea under orders of the government through Tokio emigration companies, were employed in the work of rushing to completion the Seoul-Fusan railway, and In laying the emergency military road from Beoul to Wiju. Before the last Russian had been driven across the Yalu, the attitude of the Japanese In Korea changed, and with this change of attitude was laid the seed of the present failure in the Japanese scheme of colonization. Though Japan was not fighting Korea, the Japanese who flocked In the wake of the armies came as conquerors. As such they treated the Koreans; as such they are today continuing to treat the Koreans.

Before the first gun of the war was fired, the Japanese in Korea were land-renters, land-leasers, but, with few exceptions, not landowners. They were traders who came as Russians, Chinese and German traders came to barter under the laws of Korea. They claimed no special privileges, nor did they boast any leverage on the Koreans not allowed to the Russian the Chinese, or the German. Yet suddenly, following; the first tctories over the RussUns, the Japanese became lords of the land and masters of the Koreans. From that time until the present, the Koreans have been learning the game of "Heads I win; tails you lose." Those of the Nipponese who were of the vanguard of the conquering civilians the coolies, the artisans, and the camp followers- halted where the sudden realization of their mastership found them, and they acquired land.

This he would have speedily done had not the Korean woman, in her distress, sought the aid of the missionary who himself leased her property and put a stop to the excavations of the Japanese.
