"Oh, indeed —.Captain Tredennick of Tregarthen!

He had edged himself up to Ca.ptain Tredennick's side, and was beginning to chat fluently, with an evident intention of constituting himself a third in the, party. If he caleulated on the sailor' easy good -fellowship and pleasant eon- deseension, he was fated to be instantly undeceived. "Sir," said the Captain of the Chit- toor, halting abruptly. and surveying Mr. Pascoe with the hauteur of the proud Trendennicks of Tregarthen, and a fresh accession of the haughty quar- ter-deck politeness of a presuntitig in- ferior, "1 will take care of the young lady for the rest of the way, and will wish you a very good morning." Mr. Pascoe muttered a response ra- ther confusedly and. sullenly, and stood watching the pair as they went down Tregarthen Hill. "Ye saucy young madam!

"Good-bye, sir; thank you very nuteh."

He thought he might take the liberty of addressing her thus; they were not etrangers now, be and this anxious, timid, gentle, passionate little woman. Surely he Might speak to her as to a dear little girl friend! Who could mis- understand him, except one like that underbred fellow, who said—said they were "sweethearting!" Captain 'rreden- niele went over the absurd phrase sev- eral tirnee, and laughed each time, as he walked home—laughed a.s if the absurd idea were not utterly dis.pleaeing.

The tone, words and manner all jar- red. on Stephen Tredenniek—jerred very considerably, although it was in. oniv a poor little stranger -maiden% interest, "Well, aunt," he returned, eoldly and sarcastically, in manner very like Mad- am's own, "if marriage—wheel poets, and novelists, and artiste, and those: kind of foolsrave electut as 'wedded bliss,' as 'crowning the love and honor of a life,' and so forth—be after all a meer dry, worldly matter of excl1aane and barter, still one ought to make the best exchange, and 'barter asequallyas possible.

When General Nogl, of the japanese army. suicided, it was said that he had complied with an ancient religious doc- trine and desired to join the emperor in the life beyond, A different vision has come with the letter left by the general for the information of his friends.

In the crisis of the nation that fullowed he became seriously and per- sonally involved. He served his country with distinction, but he did not atone, At seems, for the disgrase of other days. When his uriefulness was over, he offer- ed his life as a sacrifice, The point of the ease, the real Moral of it, lies in the importance which he attached to public duty.
