TOOK EDGE OFF THE EFFECT.
His Mistake When He Boasted of Mod
.est Act of Charity.
;" . Taylor got on the subject of mod
esty one nigbt at the Press club.
"Practically all acts of .charity," said
- he, "are performed out of vanity. Mod-
'. est charity is very rare, yet it is the
only sort that counts, you know, with
.th er Recording Angel, eh? I re-
.member once, motoring in the east, I
.'came to a small town that had suffered
k from a flood. In the empty post office
there was a contribution box for the
flood sufferers.
. i "Not a soul was present Nobody
saw me or knew me. I pushed a $20
bill Into the box and slipped away un-
seen. And that act, I claim, that mod
est act of charity, was worth more
than these acts involving many thou
sands, which are made on public sub
scription lists, to the loud fanfare of
trumpets."
Taylor paused and relighted his
cigar. His companion said:
"Quite right. Yours was genuine
modest charity, Taylor. No wonder
you brag about it." Detroit News-Tribune.
JUST A TEST.

The Selfishness of Grief.
Holidays are sad seasons for fam
Hies from which loved ones have been
taken away by death, but when we do
our duty wc give thanks for those still
left us, and redouble our care for their
happiness.
With the best intentions in the
world we are meting out sorry treat
ment to the living by open grieving
for the dead. There are few families
''hose ranks remain unbroken year
after year. Absence permanent and
temporary leaves vacant chairs at the
family table, and the only wise thing
to do is to forget them as far as pos
sible by devotion to those whom we
are privileged to keep. Perpetual
mourning is unnatural and selfish, in
asmuch as it makes discomfort for
those about us, and we need all the
cheer and brightness we can gather to
ase the burden of living.
Sheer white goods,. In fact, any One
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
i : proved appearance of your work.

The Land of England.
Twelve thousand seven hundred and
ninety-one persons own fir-fifths of
the soil of England, their aggregate
property, exclusive of that within the
metropolitan boundaries, being 40,180.

ber of owners of four-fifths of the Eng
lish land is nearer 5,000 than 12.000.
Of these 500 are noblemen, and four
or five of these swallow up the rest

The extraordinary popularity of flno
white goods this summer makes the
boice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
nly one which is safe to use on fine
J ibrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
r makes half the usual quantity of
starch necessary, with the result of
erfect finish, equal to that when the
l,oods were new.

SYNOPSIS.
"Vanishing Fleets," a" story of "what
might have happened." opens in Wash
ington with the United States and Japan
on the verge of war. Guy Hillier. sec
retary of the British embassy, and Miss
Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor
Roberts, are introduced as lovers. The
government is much criticised because
of its lack of preparation for strife.
At the most inopportune moment Japan
declares war. Japan takes the Philip
pines without loss of a man. The en
tire country is in a state of turmoil be
cause of the government's indifference.
Guy Hillier starts for England with
secret message and is compelled to
leave Norma Roberts, who with mili
tary officers also leaves Washington on
mys-terious expedition for an isolated
point on the Florida coast. Hawaii is
captured by the Japs. Country, in tur
moil, demands explanation of policy
from government.
CHAPTER III. Continued. .
Am I right, sir,' he said, in con
struing that white flag you raised as a
ign of truce? And if that is so, I
hould like to be informed as to why
at the same time you lowered the
United States flag from the peak?'
"The general, choked with mortifica
tion, hesitated for a moment, and then
found himself unable to express his
relinquishment in words. He slowly'
withdrew his sword from its belt
hooks, and held it, hilt formost, to
ward the admiral, who seemed unable
to realize that it was tendered in sur
render. There was a moment's si
lence, in which he looked down at that
trusty old blade of steel, never before
dishonored by a conqueror's hand. He
glanced inquiringly at his fellow coun
trying and then at the others, as if
questioning their sanity.
"'I regret to 6ay, sir,' the general
answered, 'that the flag was raised in
surrender not only of this fortification,
but of all military forces on the is
lands.' "The admiral gave a quick start of
surprise and jubilation as the signifi
cance of this unexpected action
dawned upon him.
"'The total surrender of the Phil
ippines?' he questioned, as if it was
beyond comprehension that without
further effort this island kingdom of
the sea was tranquilly to be turned
over to the first enemy who battered
a challenge on its gates.
"The general, beyond words, nodded
in confirmation. In a few quickly
spoken sentences the admiral trans
lated the details of the conversation
to his compatriots.
"Goaded by the sneers and satirical
exclamations with which this was
greeted, the general broke into a sud
den blaze of wrath, shook a clenched
fist under the admiral's very nose, and
in white heat exclaimed: 'Yes, it
comes easy; but it's no fault of mine!
I'm obeying orders. If I had my way
I'd have seen you in hell before this
happened. I would, so help me God!'
"As a signal to the waiting fleet,
they ran aloft the rising sun emblem
of Japan, while the discomfited of
ficers of the United States retired to
the barracks for the almost hopeless
attempt of explaining the situation to
the puzzled garrison. These were sol
dier like, quick moving, wiry men
from the west, proud of their country
and their crops, and were of the kind
that could not understand dishonor
through mere obedience to higher or
ders. They stormed and swore, and
for a time it seemed that mutiny
would spread throughout the fortress,
man the great guns, tear down the flag
of Japan and send hurtling masses of
defiant steel out into the ranks of
that force which had come upon them
in a night and won an unearned vic
tory. But they, too, were creatures of
discipline, and in the end reluctantly
accepted fate.
"The great armada slowly gathered
way and crept forward almost be
neath the towering walls of the silent
forts. Boat after boat brought its
load of marines ashore and discharged
them on ground which in other wars
had been stained with the blood of
valorous men. Here on these beaches
had stepped the armies of old Spain,
coming as pioneers to battle with sav
age foemen. In former years the wa
ters of this bay on another day in
May had floated the vessels of brave
Dewey's fleet, had rocked and quivered
beneath the impact of his guns, and
witnessed the raising of his victorious
flag over the smoldering ramparts.
And with such a history of glory be
hind it, the moon on this night rose
over a land silent, conquered, and
abandoned, as If it was of no more
value than a tiny pebble cast into a
tropical sea."
CHAPTER IV.
The Harness of War.
A breath of summer swept over
the land, giving promise of wealth of
bloom and prodigality of harvest; but
the plow stood idle and rusted in the
waiting fields, the meadows went un
sTlorn, and the crops, in which lay the
riches of peace, unplanted. Every
where was the growing din of an
archy and the stern clangor of war. A
people who had never tamely bowed
a head beneath a yoke, nor rebelled
at just ruling, found themselves dis
traught in the whirling current of un
reasonable tides which carried them
out to they knew not what,
A tame yielding of territory over
which their flag had once flown, ac
equally passive surrender of islands
which had come to them of their own
volition, seeking in the spread of the
eagle's wings the shadows of security,
'and, last cf .ill, as. a crowning climax
of folly, the sending of warships to
neutral ports! From east to west, as
the oceans run, from the border line
of the north to that of the south, there
swept over the great waiting nation a
call to arms. No dam built by mcrf
man could have stemmed that r.iug
tide of indignation save ihn oae that
was erected by the adIstratlon ia
the hours c" is dress. News cf it
came unheralded as had all the
ominous stories : "Pding it.
Even nt the n. ient when an over
throw of the governing power at
'RQYNOgrON,
Washington seemed imminent, there
flashed across the wires from gov
ernor to governor the quick and in
sistent demand for fighting men. In
every armory was heard the resound
ing clash of rifles. A hundred thou
sand men, drilled for the emergencies
of a country's need, sprang to their
weapons like 'tensely strung' warriors
of old awaiting the vpretor's command
to charge. A country, which through
days of defeat had seemingly slept
sprang isto the harness of strife, as if
electrified' by the God of Battles. Sim
ultaneously with the ordering out
of all National Guardsmen and a
further call for volunteers, wjrich re
ceived instant response, every railway
traversing the country was requisi
tioned by the war department
Yet, in all this turmoil the destina
tion of this suddenly mobilized and
splendidly powerful army remained a
secret. In vain the press of the coun
try and its most influential citizens do
manded knowledge; but not. till the
day when from all directions swarms
of armed men-sallied forth, was this
information given. And as if black
ened by a scourge of locusts, the
Canadas awakened one morning to
find that along 3,000 miles of border
land were spread a line of soldiers, the
most singular line of repulse ever
stretched between nations. It was tine
of excommunication.
Not even the commanding officers
as they took their stations knew:thD
They Ran Aloft the Rising
whys or wherefores of this most re
markable move, although their In
structions were of the simplest, and
were that under no circumstances
were there to be acts of unfriendliness
nor, even under provocation, move
ments of aggression. They were to
stand as an insurmountable barrier
between the United States and the
dominion, prohibiting traffic, passage,
and communication, and nothing more.
No man might cross the border, and
wires, which in days of jieace carried
from one country to another the news,
of the day." were cut and torn from
their poles as if no further word
might ever be transmitted through
them.
Nor was this all. Wherever V cable
touched on' all the outer edges of this
great land might be found soldiers in
charge. Wireless telegraph stations
were abruptly closed, prohibiting
the use even of the air itself. Procla
mations were issued that instructions
had been given for the perforation of
any airships attempting outside com
munication, and the penalty of Instant
death was threatened any aeronaut
who disobeyed this command.
From every seaport vessels of ail
nations, friendly or unfriendly, were
summarily excluded. Protests from
captains and from" companies were
Ignored. The United States was sud
denly blockading not only its own
means of communication, but sealing
its ports as well. No message might
be carried in or out, and, as if fearing
also for its southern border line, the
soldiers of the regular army were
placed there. The vessels of the navy
which were in the home waters of the
Atlantic were put on patrol duty,
steaming up and down the eastern
coast with the regularity of police
men on their beats. To the world at
large the United States of America
might never have, been. The fabled
Atlantis of old could hr.ro disappeared
no mare completely nor been cut off
-ore effectually from intercourse with
outside mankind than was the great
American nation.
Whatever criticism and surprise had
been raused amen- other powers by
the Lbandonment c: the Philippines
and the Hawaiian inlands was out
done by this latest move. Never be-

Itself, wftMrwiig within "Its shell
as does a turtle when assailed. Hith
erto it had been the-custom of a peo
ple attacked to maintain an outward
seeming of uninterrupted commerce
and unimpeded communication. No
modern government had yet had tho
temerity 'to shut its ports to friendly
nations, scorn intercourse with them,
and trust to its own resources for
support and maintenance. Protests
from friendly powers were unheeded
or unavailing, because after a few.
days there was no possibility of con
veying .such remonstrance to the ot-j
ficials at Washington.
In the capital itself representatives
of foreign nations, hearing of this'em
bargo on the ports, stood upon their
rights and demanded either their dis
missal or the free and uninterrupted
passage of their communications.'
Some of the more importunate ones
were politely told that they might
take their departure at any time they
deemed fit; but were given warning
that it must be within 48 hours or
they would not be permitted to pass
the border line. These discomfited
diplomats either hastened to the near
est harbor, embarking upon the last
steamer leaving, or chose to remain
within the country.
The maritime nations of Europe,
aghast at what they termed the inso
lence of the United States, discussed
means of bringing her to book and
compelling her to open her road
steads; but found a lack of'unanimitj
as to method. Great Britain, jealous
of Germany, but fearing a swift on
slaught from the kaieer's realm, hesi
tated to take the initiative and thus
leave her own coasts exposed to at
tack. France, with the memory of an
earlier war, remained passive. Russia
smarting under the recollection of hei
own defeat, refused to take any steps
which directly or indirectly might
aid Japan. And the smaller nationt
awaited a leaden
"England was placed in the most pe
culiar and trying position of all. The

Sun Emblem of Japan.
States to a foreign power had been to
her, in the positive assertion that,
come what might, she of all nations
need have no fear of being embroiled,
and that under no circumstances need
she apprehend war with America. .
The English ambassador, who was
one of the last to take timely ad
vantage of his opportunity and seek
a temporary residence in Montreal,
cabled his country a frank admissior
that the policy of the" United States
was completely beyond his compre
hension, and that whatever of the situ
ation might be known from personal
observation would be explained, by his
secretary, Guy Hillier, due at any mo-'
ment In London. The ears of Europo
were therefore open for inch commu
nications as might be imparted by this
young man, who for the moment be
came of paramount importance.
Thus it was 'that Hillier," arriving at
the Liverpool docks, found himself the
center' of all interest. A swarm of
newspaper' correspondents, more or
less distinguished in their profession.

PRAISED THE DOMESTIC BEER
Good Joke on Connoisseurs of Popular
Malted Bevsrage.
In an inconspicuous place in York
ville there Is a resort over which a
German of ample proportions presides
with the dignity which comes with the
possession of a Franco-Prussian war
medaL The place is not a club, tavern,
hotel, saloon or restaurant, but a little
of each; and its patrons, even the one'1
American who goes there regularly,
call it "Die Hncie." A discussion as
to the relative merits of the various
brands of beer took place there a few
nights ago which grew so heated that
skat and pinochle game3 had to be
halted for a time. The American con
tended that the views of the debaters
were based on their !o.ity to their
respective birthplace mere than on
their knowledge of the beer which
came from them and in (!a?nonstratR
this he entered into a conspiracy with
sought interviews; bat, warned la. '
vance by wireless telegraph, lie de
clined all conversation. The wharf
was black with people, who anxiously
craned their necks to catch sight of
(the man who was expected to eluci
'date the greatest mystery of the age.
A guard of constables formed a hollow
square i round him-and forced their
'way up the long, .tunnel-like shed lead
ing to the train which was 'to .convey
'him to London.
' When he had gained his seat in a
jcompartmentireserved for his use, an-1
'the train whirled away past neatly'
! walled farms, prosperous .villages and
i great cities, 'he wondered at the
strange .trend of events which had
j thrown him so prominently into the
.foreground. He smiled, in irony as he
reviewed his owa actual knowledge of
'the situation, and realized how little
,he had in the way of. information in
comparison with what he was ex
'pected to divulge.
At Euston station he was escorted
to a carriage, and whistled a soft note
'of surprise as he recognized on the
'panels the prime minister's 'coat of
,arms. Plainly he was. to be subjected
to what in America he -had heard
called the 'Third Degree." Surrepti
tious nods were interchanged by a
crowd of loungers, and such comments
as "That's him!" and "'E's the bloke
'w'ats goin' to tell us abaout it!"
floated to him as the footman slammed
the door behind, mounted the box
land whipped the team into a gallop.
-He -was ushered into the sacred pre
cincts of the prime minister's private
chamber, and found awaiting not only
that important person but the foreign
secretary, and a lord of the admiralty
as well. The ponderously sealed
packet from his ambassador was torn
open and read aloud. It contained the
following startling statement from his
perturbed and irate superiorr
"I have the honor to inform your
lordship that I am in a country evi
dently Inhabited by maniacs. I have
painstakingly sought a logical expla
nation for the acts of this government,
and frankly admit that I am unable to
understand either its attitude toward
his majesty's government, its proposed
plan of campaign, or what the effect
of this war will be upon other nations
I have been persistently refused any
intimation as to what has taken place
or is intended. In a personal inter
view with his excellency, the presi
dent of the United States, I have been
positively informed that his country
will under no circumstances permit
any demonstration against Great Brit
ain, but that it may become necessary
to suspend intercourse for a time. I
cannot tell what is meant by this, nor
would he give me further information.
The attitude of the administration,
backed up by congress, is that of su
preme egotism and self-sufficiency,
despite the position taken by the peo
ple and the press, as shown in news
papers which are sent herewith. In
view of the uncertainty of the stiua
tion, the euigma presented by the
United States government's attitude,
and the threat that within 48 hours all
exchange of communication will be
suspended, I deem it wise to suggest
that his majesty hold himself in readi
ness to make an overpowering naval
demonstration in these or Canadian
waters, if need should arise. I am
sending this by my secretary, "who can
answer any questions of a more perti
nent nature as well as I could."
The letter, written in the crabbed
hand of the ambassador, was slowly
read aloud, those present straining
their hearing that no word might be
lost, and at its conclusion they sat J
dumbfounded.
"You were there, I believe," said the
prime minister, slowly swinging back
and forth in his swivel chair, and ad
dressing the secretary, "when tho
news of the surrender of the Philip
pines was received?"
"Yes, your lordship."
"What excuse had the government
to make for such unwarranted ac
tion?" "None whatever."
"Bo you mean to say that they suf
fered without protest or defense tho
surrender of a fortification which co3t
millions of pounds, was adequately
equipped and able to repel successfully
the attack of such a fleet- as Japan
sent against it?"
"Yes, they even accepted it com
placently." From round the room came mur
murs of amazement, while the rustle
of newspapers showed the anxiety of
those present to glean what informa
tion they could be perusal. '' Losing
their phlegmatic air of self possession
and casting official dignity to the winds
they bombarded Hillier with questions,
which, in the main -hie .was unable to
answer. The voice of the stately lord
of the, admiralty rose above the others
in a sudden, insistent petulant ques
tion.
"Do you know anything else worth
while?" he asked.
"No," answered Hillier, "1 have no
knowledge other than that which I
have given to you, which In Itself
was gathered elsewhere than from an
absolutely silent and secretive gov
ernment." (TO BE CONTINUED.)

A Tragedy in Arabia.
Once an old Arab out of stone
carved a scarab, as a sort of good
luck charm to wear. It was so artistic,
such a bug realistic, that the sight of
it gave him a scare he thought he
had got a case of "mania au potu"
from the effects of a night before's
tear. While feeling thus oreide he
drank some bichloride, thinking the
bug would dissolve then and there.
But dope can't hurt scarabs, while it is
bad for Arabs, and though they buried
the Arab, the scarab felt fair.
