To cut a long story short, Rosamund roves to be the natural child of Mr. Frabazon, who had deserted her mother at the instigation of his friend Mr. Watkin, who had been persuaded by the villain, Lord l'etworth, that the lady was faithless. It having been clearly shown that Rosamand's mother had been the party sinned against and Mr. Brabazon the sinner, and also that Rosamund herself was a waman without spot or stain beyond her lack of legitimate ancestry, a luck due to the fault of Mir.

They were, however, detected by the night guards, and in a struggle that ensued ona of the men was caught, and next day, tied to a pole in the village square and publicly flogged On learning of the fate of their companion, the other robbers mustered a force of over a hundred and made a rush into the village and tried to effect the release of their man. A fierce hand to hand struggle then took place, but on reinforce- ments arriving on the side of the villagers, the robbers beat a hasty retreat and sought refuge in a few houses. Finding no means of escape, they set fire to the premises and got away.
It is reported that over forty houses were thus destroyed and about twenty persons mostly women and children perished. The matter has been reported by the village elders to the Viceroy and, according to advices, he has deputed two military weiyuen to the scene. to make inquiries.

No such public appointment has yet been notified in pursuance of Ordinance No. 1 of the present year, and we take it therefore that, technically speaking, the Board, which was formed under the old law of 1901, has not yet been reconstituted.

The number of railway sleepers imported to Hankow in 1903reached 250,0:00f which 150,000 cam from Hokkaido, 50,000 from France and 50,000 from Russia. The Japanese product is in excel ent wood and quite cheap. But owing to imperfect methods of preparation, one-tenth of the Japanese sleepers imported to Hankow were rejected being considered'useless' for rail. waypur,oses. Besides, the fissures that the heat. of Hankow caused to appear on the surface of the sleepers, were thought to weaken the wood.. So the railway authorities used French Sleeper dipped once in cieosote in preference to the Japanese. But according to the Asaki, creosbisi works are now being built in Hankow with a view to giving the required chemical irrat ment to the Japanese sleepers, which, it is hoped, will be exclusively used in the future in the construction of the milways in the vicinity of Hankow.
