When the burial party arrived the quartermaster in formed the captain that be thought the body had moved In the sack. The sack was opened, and Lazarus eventually came to life again. Such was the story I.tr.nruH told me. Lazarus was a thin man with a sallow face. Ho had an enormous appetite and appear ed at every meal, to which he devoted Ills whole energies. The good feeding only seemed to add to hlr eorpselike appea ranee. One evening, sure enough, when we were about halfway to our voyage's end, he apparently died again. The doctors took him In charge this time, however, and he came out of his trance without any shotted sack epi sode, lie was met at the London docks by a number of relatives and friends, all of whom looked as If they might be suffering from (he same com plaint."

Tho house of representatives unanimously appropri ated $100,000 for the benefit of Gen-c-ial Maximo Gomez.

Hugo Ganz In his book on Itussin writes as follows of tho relations exist ing between tho Itussian otlieluls and the Poles: "They remain separate, like oil and water. The Russian, even though he Is the master, Is of no conse ijuence here. It is only necessary to ob serve for the space of an hour from some corner of the elegant dining room of the hotel the behavior of the Polish society and the complete isolation of tho Russian officers or officials. It Is only necessary to lie able to distinguish the groups from one another the Hal tie nobility with their almost bourgeois families, merchants from all the prin cipal countries, Russian functionaries and Polish society nnd It will at once become clear who is at home here, firmly rooted to tho soil, so that nil oth ers become strangers and intruders. It is tho Poles, and the Poles alone." Stock Stolen on Steamboat. Boston, June 13. A robbery Involv ing the loss of $120,000 in securities by Henry V.

(Cotilintitd from Page Three ) every possible country in which" my regiment might lie engaged, learned the local names of common articles of food and ascertained particularly what provision nature made to sustuln life. Tho study Interested me. Once, dur ing the Sudan campaign, it was really useful and procured me promotion." "Tell me about it." "During some operations in tho desert it was necessary for my troop to fol low up a small party of rebels mounted on camels, which, as you probably know, can go without water much long er than horses. We were almost with in Btrlklng distance when our horses completely gave out, but I luckily no ticed indications which showed that there was water beneath a portion of the plain much below tho general level. Half an hour's spade work proved that I was right. We took up the pursuit again and ran the quarry to earth, and I got my captaincy." "Was there no light?" He paus'ed an appreciable time bo fore replying; Then he evidently made up his mind to perform some disagvee able task. Tho watching girl could sco the change In his face, the sharp transition from eager interest to angry resentment. "Yes," lie went on at last, "there was a fight. It was a rather stiff affair, lie cause a troop of British cavalry which should have supported mo had turned buck owing to the want of water al ready mentioned. Hut that did not save the officer in charge of the Twen. ty-fourth lancers from being severely reprimanded." "The Twenty-fourth lancers!" cried Iris. "Lord Ventnor's regiment!" "Lord Ventnor was tho officer in question." Her face crimsoned. "T.hen you know him?" she said. "I do." "Is he your enemy?" "Yes." "And that is why you were so agi tated that last day on the Sirdar, when poor Lady Tozer asked mo if I were engaged to him?" "Yes." "How could it affect you? You did not even know my name then?" "It affected me because the sudden mention of his name recalled my own disgrace. I quitted the army sir months ago, Miss Deane, under very painful circumstances. A general court martial found me guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer nnd a gentle man. I was not even given a chance to resign. I was cashiered." He pretended to speak with cool truculence. lie thought to compel her into shrinking contempt. Yet his face blanched somewhat, and, though he steadily kept the pipe between his teeth and smoked with studied uncon corn, Ills lips twitched a little. And he dared not look nt her, for the girl's wondering eyes were fixed upon him, nnd the blush had disappeared as quickly as it came. "I remember something of this," she said slowly, never once averting her gaze. "There was some gossip con cerning it when I first came to Hong kong. You aro Captain Robert An struther?" "I am." "And you publicly thrashed Lord Ventnor ns the result of a quarrel about a woman?" "Your recollection Is quite accurate." "Who was to blame?" "The lady said that I was." "Was It true?" Robert Anstruther, late captain of Bengal cavalry, rose to his feet. He preferred to take his punishment stand ing. "The court martial agreed with her, Miss Deane, and I am u prejudiced witness," he replied. "Who was the-lndy?' "The wife of my colonel, Mrs. Costo bell." "Oh!" Long afterward ho remembered the agony of that moment nnd winced even at the remembrance. Hut he hud decided upon a fixed policy, and he was not a man to Hindi from conse quences. Miss Deane must bo taught to despise him, else God help them both she might learn to love him as ho now loved her. So. blundering toward his goal, as men always blunder where n woman's heart Is concerned, lie blind ly persisted in allowing lior to niako tucli false deductions as sho chose from his words. Iris was the first to regain some measure of self control. "I am glad you have been so candid, Captain Anstruther," sho commenced, but he broke in abruptly. "Jenks, if you please, Miss Deane; Robert Jenks. "Certainly, Mr. Jenks. Let mo be equally explicit before wo quit the subject. I have met Mrs. Costoboll. I do not like her. I consider her a de ceitful woman. Your court martial inight liuve found a different verdict . w Take laxative uromo quinine Tablets. Seven Million boxes sold in post 12 months.

It Is true he asked my father to be per mitted to pay his addresses to me, but my dear old dad left the matter wholly to my decision, and I certainly never gave Lord Ventnor uny encourage ment. I believe now that Mrs. Costo bell lied and that Lord Ventnor lied when they attributed any dishonorable action to you, and I am glad that you beat him in the club. I am quite sure he deserved it." Not one word did this strange man vouchsafe- in reply. Ho started vio lently, seized the ax lying at his feet and went straight among the trees, keeping his face turned from Iris so that she might not see the tears in his eyes. As for tho girl, she began to scour her cooking utensils with much en ergy and soon commenced a song. Con sidering that she was compelled to con stantly endure the company of a do graded officer, who had been expelled from the service with ignominy, she was absurdly contented. Indeed, with the happy inconsequence of youth, sho quickly threw all care to the winds nnd devoted her thoughts to planning a surprise for the next day by preparing some tea, provided she could surrepti Mously open tho chest.
