Voila! that a young man should not came out of the bayou and said to old man Etienne that he would rights in his strip of 10,000 pine trees. And that very same day Plerre came to ask old man Etienne for his daughter. Hein! But the old man was rough on Pierre, and refused. But it was not because of what S W the old man said; it was because he saw Amanda walking to church with the “turpentine man” and could not make Amanda see him that made Plerre take a bottle of whisky down into the bend of the bayou and get drunk. Yes, and stay drunk, sleeping most of the time till the bottle was empty. It was the suck of the oars in their locks that woke him. Then voices came, and he listened: “Dey say Pierre ain’t going win race this year.” “Pourquoi?”’ “Dey say ‘turpentine man’ going run his fast boat; dey say Amanda going sail wit’ him.” “Ha!” The suck of the oars died away. Pierre plunged into the bayou and swam until sober. ‘Pardieu, more dan one girl in de world!” Alors quoi? As soon as he was sober he went down to.the store and bought two yards of very nar row, very pink ribbon, and he must have wanted it for a fishing line, bee cause as he strode away from the store he was saying under his breath: | “Il y a les autres poissons dans la mer, toujers. Ah, oui! toujours.” And so thinking of the other fiches always in the sea, Pierre made his way through the woods to old man Aloysius’ front gate. He surprised Ce: Pierre had never been Had never done any- dere's | vk FVENING down beside her.

Some theve were in that swel tering crowd whe followed the fiight of the schooners; but upon wharf>and beach and bank' every ’'Cajan’s eye was upon the cat-Boat race, and every sou of 'Cajan’s money was upon one of the two racers. The “turpentine man’s” cat, the Kitten, that flew the blue pennant, and' Plerre’s Lis des Eaux, that flew the pink. They were well matched boats, and beauties, gleaming white with their broad belts of brilliant blue or pink; each with a big new sail, each with a lovely girl in the bows flying the colors she fas vored. They crossed the line at the Judges’ stand. Hearty cheering started them on their second courss, and after the cheer one single voice Mke a dropping shot: “Watch out he don’t get your wind.” For whom was that warning meant? What was it worth? Perhaps one of Men rather than Tense, wlthv} the young sailors knew. ever an eye to the girl in his bows, the “turpentine man” gave his boat. every advantage his skill could come: pass, Already the Lily under her reef was | footing it after the Kitten, and al- ready, but too late, the “turpentine- man” had seen the white puff pow be- ginning to turn black. It was too late. to shorten sail now if he meant to- leave himself a chance to wia. On they came, the Kitten and the- Lily, and the squall, haif a mile, quar ter, eight; while the cky darkened and the Lily, like one struck by a strong hand, lay over. But there was a sure grip upon her tiller and ne flutters of hope or fear shook the hand that held the halyards. She righted galantly under her reef, and with the foam | curling along her rail, flew away be- fore the rising wind. And then the watchers had eyes for the Kitten, and as they turned their eyes upon her the squall struck her. They saw her g0 over in the shivering water.

Conditions Ara Well Nigh Inexpdicable | to Many—Rssult Is Considerable Confusion—-Different Periods of Country's Political Progress. : Tokyo, Japan —Japanese politics is | well nigh inexplicable to many per sons, especially occidentals. The sud den and frequent changes of camm.w. ! in part or in whole, are difficult to un- derstand. And, while we can make no claim to a perfect understanding of the mysteries, we may be able to throw a little light on the subject. In the first place, it sbould be kept ip mind that political parties in Japan are more personal than political. Fac- tions and parties have formed around / measures, around persons more than principles. The his- E tory of political parties in New Japan may be divided into five periods,.as l follows: 1867-1882—Embryonic period. 1882-1890-—Qorganizing, period, 1890-1898—Developing period. 1898-1911—Influential period. 1911—Predominant period. The chief political parties wiich have been organized in Japan during the past 30 years have all illustrated the point just mentioned. The first party in the field was the jiyute, or liberal party, which was organized. by Count (then Mr.) !tagaki, and which consisted largely of his personal fol- |} lowing. The next party was the | shimpoto, or progressive party, i which was started by Mr. (now Count) The chief dif- terenco in these two parties, so far as iples were concerned, was that the lLib.rals were more radical than the pro:sessives; hut the greater dif- ) ference was the personal one. In more | Okuma and his frisnds. Priine recent days it 1as been Ito and his proteges who L/ dominated the seiyukai. Small ...:tions have rallied around smaller men, while personal considerations have largely caused splits in wactions and partics, As ex-Mayor Ozaki has poirted out, this feature Is a not unnatural surviv- al of the fcudal system. And it was | Ozaki himself who has just lad & bolt from the seiyukai on the ground that said party was no standing firmly enough for principles, but was compro- mising with the Satsuma clan element in forming the Yamamoto cabinet. The feature mentioned above has naturally evolzed another peculiar fea- ture; not onmly party ties, but party principles, have been too loose. Or the reverse may be partly economic, and these have been so vague and Indefinite, party ties have been very loose. The party platforms have too often consisted of glittering general fties and lacking positively distin- guishing principles. In some cases there have been clearly defined fs- | sues as between conservatives and lib- erals, but in general there have been distinctions without differences. i'or instance, on such an important issue a8 the increase of the land tax the same party has beea working, now in support, now in opposition. All par tles and factions having too often been found guilty of opportunism, Another peculiar feature of parties in Japan is the almost complete lack Emperor of Japan, , Of grouping on econdmic alags l There have been geographical unlul::; which have been partly economic, and there have been attempts to line up ! the business men toegthar, But, as indicated above, even the land tax ' sue has not succeeded in forming . permanent alignment, and the question has not yet affected the ltical situation.
