She came struggling up from q wave
of darkness that had closed about her
IL was as il she had been entombed with
the dead ages. She reached out despair
ingly from mighty depth that seemed
about TO fold her in forever. And Paul
caught her hand in his firm clasp, aud
all the ghosts of the past hoated away,
and she was only little modern
maiden, blushing, and drawing her
hand swiftly away from too ardent
clasp. But Paul had read the meaning
of that vivid crimson on her cheek, and
was satisfied.
The e ity of Washington" sounded
its warning note, and Paul and Rita
left the churchyari. And soon they

A Chinese Luncheon.
belle William D,I


We adjourned TO the apartments OF
the younger ladies, aud had luncheon of
corrections, fruit, pastry, salad and tea
Only the old Tai Tai Tor LADY, ate with
me. The young wives and daughters
ate afterward. The di an on which we
sat, and on which was placed a small
dining table, was covered with a mag
nifcent wadded quilt. The center piece
was yellow silk, with crimson brocado
pattern, richly mixed with gold. The
opposite diyan was covered with quilt
OF greater beauty-white satin en-
broidered in pink and gold and green.
While at luncheon the whole household
Of women came in and partook Of melon
seeds an sweetmeats some OF the
nieces OF the old Tai Tai came in with
the children. There were many very
fine looking women among them,
Just at sunset dinner was served.
None but the old Tai Tai and dined,
although there was ample provision for
the thirty or forty women and girls who
sat round about the room talking and
amusing the little ones The yiands

THE v Ra MUS PRISONERS
The Place where They We're shot saved
by a British Gunboat.

by n British Gunboat.
Cuba Cor New York Times
One of the sights of Santiago is the
spot where some of the Nirginus pris.
Oners We're shot IL is a six-feet high
wall in front Of the slaughter house
The men were stood up in line, with
their faces 10 the wall and their backs
TO the soldiers, and murdered. The
story they tell there of the rescue Of the
remainder OF the prisoners is an inter-
esting one. Americans and Englishmen
in Santiago tell the story; the natives
don't tell it, for obvious reasons. The
government, so the story goes, had in.
terdicted the sending of any message
over the cable concerning the killing of
these prisoners. But there was an In
glish boy in the telegraph Office, learn
ing the business, and he watched his
chance when the operator was Oun. and
standing uneoncernedly with his back
to the key, while the Office was guarded
by Spanish soldiers, he put his hands
behind him and managed to send over
to Jamaica this startling message;
There the devil TO pay in santiago.
They're Duthering men of all nations"
You must imagine how such mes
sage was received IN Jamaica; how the
operator read il and reread it and
wondered whether it was a hoax. and
read it again and then sent it up to the
governor. The governor perhaps had
had experience with the Spaniards be-
fore, for he sent the message without
delay to the commander OF q British
gunboat that lay in Kingston harbor,
and the commander had faith enough
in il 10 put ON all steam and point his
bow for Santiago For if men of all
nations were being butchered there
must be Lnglishmen among them. Next
morning the British gunboat lay in
Santiago harbor, and how glad those
poor prisoners must have been to see
her there. Americans as well as In .lish.
The commander sent messenger
ashore 10 learn what was going on, la
he came back without any information
hihe shots were frequently heard, anG
he sent one of his principal Ulcers to
see the commandant OF the Spanish
troops 10 inquire whether any british
suUlcClS were III lIOuult, anu the cOlu-
mandant sent him back an impudent
reply, saying that he had Just snot one
batch of prisoners and intended 10 shoot
another lot within an hour, and that it
was none OF his business. Then the
British commander sent a message
ashore that the Spanish general might
possibly have thought unciyil. 1t was
TO the effect that If he heard another
shot fired until he had assurances that
no British subjects were being murdered
he would open tire on the city. This
did the business, and the shooting
stopped. The gunboat staid long enough
to see that the remaining prisoners had
at least fair play, and thus saved a
good amy lives.
This Is not my story, remember;
merely give il as heard it. was not
there at the time. But it's neat little
story, and | couldn't help telling it.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10:
The Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid.
Mr. 7 B. Bailey write to the 81. oameS'S
nnu.,te as follows with reference to the de-
STABILITY of exploring the great pyramid
Now that Great Britain is dominant at Caro-
would it not be great plan to clear away
the sard and rubbish from the base OF the
pyramid right down to its rocky foundation
and trv to discover the vast corridors, halls
and temples containing priceless curiosities
and treasures with which tradition In all
ages has credited the great pyramid? The
wonderful building, of such exquisite work
nanship, was erected many years before
nny of the other pyramids, which are only
humble limitations, built by another nation,
and also for other purposes; tor neither
King Cheops nor anybody else was ever IN
tered beneath this mighty mass of stone.
The smaller pyramids also exhibit neither
the nicety of proportion nor the exactness
off measurement, both of which characterize
the first pyramid. From internal evidence
it seems to have been built about the
wear 217O B. g., short time before
the birth of Abraham, more than four
thousand years ago. Thls-one or the
seven wonders of the world IN the
days of ancient Greece--is the onl y one OF
them all Stlll III eAlSteHCS. bo otaSo W eH'S
structure covers more than thirteen square
acres Of ground It's four sides face exactly
north, south. east aud west. 1t is situated
in the geographical centre of the land sur.
face of the globe 1t was originally 4S5 feet
high. and each Of its sides measure 762 ieet:
It is computed to contain 100000 tons OF
hewn s;oae-enough. it is said, to ouiid
wall five feet high and one foot thick across
the Atlantic-beautiful'y fitted togetner
with mere film of cement. And THESE lm-
mense blocks of stone must nave been
brought from quarries five hundred miles oil,
distant from the site of the building. Inc
present well known king and queen cham
bers, with the various passages, might also
be thoroughly examined by means of the
electric Inns lights. The astronomer royal
of Scotland some years since closely and
laboriously examined all that is at present
known of the interior of this enormous
building. He states that measurements in
the chambers, &C., show the exact length OF
the cubit of the ,Bble-namely % inches.
This cubit was used in the building Of
Noah's ark, Solomon's temple, &c. He also
maintains that the pyramid shows the dis
lance of the sun from the earth to be 9l,-
$4,000 miles.
