"I must see him," :a.ici the skipper, pondering. Then a happy thought struck him, and } o smiled at his elev- ernesd, "Tell him a little flower wants to see him," he said briskly. "A little wet?" demanded the car- man, blankly, "A little flower," repeated the oth- er. "Where is she?" inquired the car- man, enstiug his eyes about him. "You just say that➢' said the skip- per, hurriedly. "You shall have a pint if you do. He'll understand:' It was unfortunate for the other estimation on Joe's intelligence, for, the information being Imparted to him, in the audible tones of confidence, het first gave his mug to Mr.William' Green to hold, and then knocked the. ambassador down. The loud laugh consequent on the delivery of the mes- sage ceased abruptly, and in the midst th of a terrific hubbubhist' Joe oral victim, together with two or three innocent r persons loudly complaining that they, hadn't finished their beer, were swept into the street.

"I thought you was drownclecl," •said e trembling seaman, still regard - ng him suspiciously, "I thought you was a ghost," "Feel that," said Flower, and gave him a blow in the ribs which almost macre him regret that his first impress ion was not the correct one. "I'm satisfied, sir," the said, hastily. "I was picked up and carried off to llga; but for certain reasons 1 eedn't go into I want my being alive ept a dead secret.

Green assured him with a courtly ow that Mr. Smith's assurances ight be relied upon. "He hoped he as a gentleman," ho said, feelingly. "Some of us thought—I thought," aid Joe, with a glance at the skipper, that the mate shoved you overboard." "You always were a fool," comment- " the skipper. "Yes, sir," said Joe, dutifully, and s they moved slowly back along the oad gave him the latest information "Wet did you 'it me for?" demand- k ed the victim, turning a deaf ear to b two or three strangers who were clads! s dung him affectionately and pointing, out, in alluring whispers, numberless! weak points in Joe's fleshly armour'. 1 "I'll 'it you agin if yorit, come into t a pub making a fool of me afore pee -1 f plo," replied the sensitive seaman,' blushing hotly with the recollection of e the message. "IIe told me to," said the carman M pointing to Flosenr, who was lurking b in the background. The tall seaman turned fiercely and' m strode up to him, and then, to the scandal of the bystanders and the dis-e s may of Mr. William Green, gave aI« loud yell and fled :full speed up the I road.

The skipper agreed, and after exact- ing renewed assurances of secrecy from both men, waited impatiently in the private bar of the "Waterman's Arms" while they put off from the stairs and boarded the steamer. In twenty 'minutes, during which time the penniless skipper affected not to notice the restless glances of the landlord, they returned with Fraser, and a hearty meeting took place be- tween the two men. The famished skipper was provided .with meat and drink, while the two A. B.'s whetted their thirst in an adjoining bar."You've hada rough time," said Fraser, as the skipper concluded a dramatic recital of his adventures. r Flower smiled broadly, "I've come out of it right side uppermost," he a said, taking a hearty pull at his tank- v ard; "the worst part was losing my money. Still, it's all in the day's work. Joe tells me that Elizabeth is walking out with Gibson, so you see it has all happened- as I bargained for." "I've heard so," said Fraser. "It's rather soon after my death," said Flower, thoughtfully; "she's been driven into it by her mother, I ex- pect. Flow is Poppy?" Fraser told him. "I couldn't wish her in better handy, Jack," said the other, heartily, when c he had finished; "one of, these days, when she knows everything- at least, as much as I shall tell her—she'll .be as as grateful to you as what I am." a "You've come back just in time," said Fraser, slowly; "another week 0i and you'd have lost her." ar (P? t . - , fr s_� '.;. ti _ "Lost her?" repeated Flower, star- are ing.

Russian Army and Russian People Have One Single Aim, Winning Of the War, The Duma has been greatly respon- sible for the growth of a spirit oil de- mocracy in Russia, for although the first Dumas did not accomplish much in the way of legislation, the members enjoyed the right of free speech and the newspapers reported what was said in the Duma, whereas they were prohibited from reporting public speeches made outside the Dmna, writes Mr. Riddle, formerly American ambassador to Russia, There never has been much mani- festation of public opinion in Russia because the mass of Russian peasants have no opinion to express, so far as foreign politics or national govern- ment is concerned, The spirit of nationalism and a feel- ing of sympathy for all Slays has been the one subject which has brought forth a manifestation of feeling on the part of the Russian masses, who are intensely interested in the fate of their "Little Brothers," the Slays who have been, or still are, under Turkish or other foreign domination. It was this spirit which brought about the war of 1877 with Turkey. Even the Russian peasants who take no interest in home or foreign politics feel intensely on this question of na- tionalism. What the Revolution Means. The revolution in Russia seems to me to be more a purging of foreign influences than anything else. It is an expression of national feeling. There have always been many per- sons about the Russian court who have been strongly pro -German. The court itself, that is, the family of the Czar, has always had strong pro -German sympathies. Although France has been Russia's natural political ally the court has always shown more interest for German institutions than for French. A minor. incident illustrates this eeling. On the birthday of the Kais- er, January 27, and the birthday of he late Emperor of Austria, August 8, the Czar always gave a banquet o the Teutonic embassies, drank the earth of the rulers and extended very courtesy to their representa- ives. But he did not pay any atten- tion to July 14, the French national holiday. Probably he considered Germany to stand for the principles of authority and autocracy, while France stood for democracy. It is true that since the Japanese war there has been a certain develop- ent of the democratic idea in Rus- ia, but I do not think the people will ant to do away with the throne. They o want to rid the government of some f the pernicious growths and bar- nacles that have adhered to it. Russians always have enjoyed a great deal of democracy in their local government. The Zemstovs, which are somewhat like county councils, are chosen by the people, and their voice is supreme in matters of local govern- ment. In the present war the Zem- Stvos have been active in the forward- ing of supplies and other military' matters and have enjoyed the full support of the people. The Russian government always has been patriarchal, and the peasant l filling to let it take care of national ffairs. Aim to Fight War to Finish. Although the Russian army and ople have not always been one in e past, they are at the present time. hey have ono single purpose, and at is the winning of the war, which them means the liberation of Slays who are under foreign domination. There has been sporadic revolutions Russia since 1826, and it is said at Alexander II. had a constitution ady to sign the day he was assassin_ ed. These revolutions have never anged to any great extent the form government and have been mostly the cities where students, college abusers and educated people who d not a voice in the government ve directed them. Throughout the country the revolu- nary movements have not been felt. 101e tines mobs burn houses and ldings in the provinces, but it is us- ly to get food and not to attempt to nge the form of government. The terrorists, anarchists and other ganizations which in the past have tinually been agitating against the vernment do not represent the peo- at large. Even they have been et since the war began and have rained from embarrassing the ernrnent, n short, the present disturbance is evolt against foreign influences in government and graft in the ad- ustration of affairs. The people determined that the war shall be ght to a finish and they are fore - the government to de it. believe that if. a plebiscite were rl the majority of the 160,000,000 sians would not vote for the over - ow of the Emperor or the abolition he. throne, m ' `,.,ai'.S..kV"3.. h1, .. b.''.
