The Russian fleet luid been destroyed

The Japauese minister at Berlin sat
d his cabinet, evidently waitiug for
some one. Presently the door open
>d and a mint of the Yankee type pn
tered. The minister dosed the door
plmself, looki-d about him as If re
aembcriiig that walls have ears, then
?aid:
"Have you your trap completed?"
"I have, your excellency."
"Very well. It is possible that you
nay put It to good use. I have secret
nforrn.itlou that a member of the Ger
:nan diplomatic staff will leave the for
?ign office tonight bearing an impor
ant proposition to the czar. He will

lie Russian government. I have sent
'or you to undertake this task because
rou have done better work for me than
?ven my own countrymen, who are
idepts in such matters. Do you think
,'ou can effect what I desire?"
"1 can try. your excellency."
"Very well. The messenger goes on
he "> o'clock train. He must leave the
'oreign office about 4:30. It Is now 10,"
ookiiig at his watch. "Have you time
?nough?"
"Plenty, your excellency."
At 4 p. m. a man left the foreign
>ffiee carrying a gripsack. A coach
nan eyed him sharply as he had been
'.ring every one who had come on,
ind. driving forward, touched his hat,
:ot down from the box and opened his
?nb door. The gentlemau was passing
>n when lie took out his watch, turned
ind cot into the cab. The coachman
nounted the box. drawing a long sigh,
is If of Infinite relief, and drove as
>rdered to the station. He had no
sooner started, however, before he be
;rati to press something under his foot,
is though pumping. The man within
'elt a sudden faintness. He had only
Irae to notice spray coming from a
ube beside him when he lost conseious
less.
When he came to himself he was ly
ng on a couch in a strange room. He
'elt ill and dizzy. Tailing up all his
strength, he arose and went to the
loor, which he found locked. The only
tvlndow in the room wai> far above
dm. bnt he pulled a table under it and,
mounting, looked out at a wall. He
cnew that lie had been trapped.
In the ceiling he noticed an oval
dace and was wondering what It was

| the prisoner was too absorbed In his
misfortune to remove the tray from the
I floor, but presently coming to a differ
j ent state of mind he placed It on a
| table and drank a glass of the wine.
? The sun rose and set. Just how many
| times he did not know, while he re
I malned a prisoner, getting his meals
regularly. At last he lost something
of his chagrin and ate as usual. He
knew that the necessity for his deten

be released, but would not the destiny
of two nattous be changed by his lm
j prlsonincut?
The newspapers of the world were
full of the letters to the emperors of
Russia and Japan from the president
of the t'nlted States calling on them
in tue name of humanity to end a
struggle that had virtually been fought
to a tiuish. A telegram iu cipher was
sent to the German embassy In Hussia,
directing a withdrawal of a certain
proposition that had been recently
sent, aud a messenger was dispatched
to find out why that messenger had
not reported. A reply came from St.
Petersburg that no such proposition
had In-eu received aud that the messen
ger had not been heard of. Then there
was consternatlof! on the part of the
foreign office at Berlin. No more im
portant message had ever left the for
eign ollice. Indeed, It was so Impor
tant that it would not have been ac
cepted unless written aud signed by
the emperor. Iu the hands of another
power it would paralyze all the govern
ment schemes. But there was nothing
to fear on this score. It was still In
the messenger's hands. Delay only was
the object of those who had detained
him.
One evening the messenger heard a
click In the lock of his door and try
ing It found himself free. In half an
hour he appeared at the foreign office
and told his story. The police seized
the building In which he had been
held, but never traced the person who
had rented it.
One morning the Yaukee appeared at
the office of the Japanese minister in
Berlin and was admitted to his cabi
net. Again the minister looked about
him as If for ears. His expression was
devoid of pleasure, of fear, of triumph,
Indeed, of any emotion.
"Has all gone well, your excellency?"
"My country has been saved."
"May I know your secret?"
"You have earned a knowledge of It.
When 1 tent for you I had been In
formed by our secret service men in
Washington that your president was
to speak for peace. From my spies
here I knew that the emperor of Ger
many was about to offer assistance to
the czar. If his offer could be delayed
till after the president had spoken he
wouk'! not dare to face the opinion of
the world by furnishing support to
prolong the struggle."
"Good, your excellency. I suppose
the president will get the credit of the
peace to come, but I think I have had
| something to do with it."

Eat Lew* and Ent It Slowly,
Economic methods of eating are so
important and so axiomatic that it
ideally occasions some surprise that
more is noi known about the matter.
Horace Fletcher, iu his famous A I! ?
books on nutrition, very wisely insists
upon the necessity of slow mastication
with abundant insalivatiou. It is real
ly astonishing how badly people use
the teeth nature gave them for this,
purpose. Children naturally bolt their
food, so It l? said, and adults retain the
habit. Not having the digestive powei
of cats or dogs, which naturally bolt
their food, it results that much of oui
faod Is undigested and wasted.
