goodness cannot go much farther
than that. But Tommy was very
tired. There is no doubt about that,
either. He had come out OF school
at half-past one, and hurried through
his luncheon, so as to have as long
an afternoon as possible for skating.
The boys had agreed to have polo
match on Spy Pond; and for three
days Tommy had had permission to
go there instead of skating nearer
home, as usual.
Perhaps, if his mother had been at
home that day, it never would have
happened, and there wouldn't be any
story to tell; for she would surely
have asked Tommy how much money
he had in his pocket, and made sure
that he had enough for his car-fare.
He really ought to have had enough;
but he spent five cents for chocolate
on the way home from school, and
then he had only five cents left.
He caught the quarter-past two
car at the end of the street, and was
just in time to change to the North
Avenue car in the square, so that he
reached Spy Pond in good season,
and had time to skate little before
the other fellows came. When the
polo fairly began, how Tommy
played! He went at it with all his
might and main, his cheeks getting
redder and redder, his eyes brighter,
and his movements quicker. 1t is
fun to see Tommy play polo, and it
makes one think of all that Mr.. Rob-
ert Treat Paine has said about the
usefulness of athletics for boys; but
it is no wonder that it makes Tommy
tired afterward, though that is some
thing he never admits, either.
Not until nearly dark did the boys
stop their play, take off their skates,
and start for home, Harry Baker and
Frank Dunstan ahead, while Tommy
and his best friend, Will Gates,
trudged along behind, still too ex-
cited with their recent game to know
how tired they were. When they
were about two hundred feet from
North Avenue, an electric car whizzed
by them so fast that they couldn't
have caught it if they had tried; but
they had just time to wave goodby
to Harry and Frank, who were more
fortunate, and stood with exultant
smiles on the back platform.
Don't you mind, WILL" said Tom
my: "there'll be another in a couple
of minutes; and oh, say can you lend
me five cents 10 ride home with? l
spent mine for chocolate"
Five cents, gracious, no! I've
only five cents in the world. You
ought to have borrowed of Harry.

broken.

Lowell. Mass. April 24.-There were
no more popular children among their
neighbors than the two little daughters
OF James Morris, who lives on
Lake View avenue. One was aged 4
years and the other two years. They
were pretty little things and the elder,
Bessie, took great pains in the younger,
Nell, or Baby, as she usually called her,
and was fond of posing as her guardian
In right of her two extra years.
Last Saturday Bessie suggested to
Baby" that she should take her to
walk. and the tiny tots started out to
rub their noses against the shop win
dows. Supper time came and they had
not returned. Their father went to
search for them, but none of the neigh
bors appear to have seen the children
since o'clock in the afternoon. The
police were then appealed to and sent
out a general alarm.
Until late that night the father and
mother searched. but searched in vain,
for their little ones, and were up again
at daybreak this morning to hunt for
them. At about o'clock they learned
that the poor little things had been
found drowned in the Merrimac river,
clasped in each others arms. 1t need
hardly be said that their parents are
heartbroken.

excitement over the alleged haunting OF
the house I'm which Ella Myers. the un-
fortunate girl from Pueblo. Col. was
found dead two weeks ago. The inmates
have all moved out because of fear and
neighbors say that the girls spirit ap-

ing for help. Friday night six men watch
ed to solve the mystery. but when the ap-
partition appeared they were too fright
ened to act Last night over a score of
men and several policemen remained in
the house and when the strange thing
appeared made a rush for Il, but could
secure nothing. though every one saw a
woman In white with blood-red hands
moving about and distinctly heard the
moans. There are rumors that the girl
was not dead when found. but buried
alive. and her brother arrived from Colo
rado to-day and will have the body ex-
humed and an examination made.

a hearing by the subcommittee of the

advocacy of Senator Cannon's bill for

that when the Matabele main body was
first made out. about four miles west
OF Buluwayo. the enemy occupied the
ridge on top of which were the earth
works and stone parapets and were
prepared to receive the British force.
Consequently slight detour was made
so as to bring the column slightly north
of Buluwayo. The enemy were
found to be covering four miles of we'll
selected positions on the north bank Of
the Umgumsa river. After fierce fight
ing the natives drove the British back
and down the bank. Crossing the
river In the retreat s. c. Selous had
narrow escape. His horse was killed
in nidstream and he became entangled
in the stirrups. When he extricated
himself he was half drowned and
would have sunk had IL not been for
Lieutenant Windley. who swan his
horse out into the middle of the stream
In the face of the fire of the enemy,
rescued Selous and reached the left
bank without injury.
When the British rallied and drove
back the Matabeles they were engaged
with only a portion OF the MatabeIe
force and as soon as the enemy swarm
ed over the ridge in large numbers.
they almost surrounded the British
and the latter were compelled to re-
treat.

on and only able to extricate itself by
a brilliant charge through the Mata-
belle Gordon. was Captain Gray's scouts
They were to a certain degree ambush

enemy. when by a desperate rush they
eNtricated themselves. II is now said
that both the Hotchkiss and the Max
i'm rapid fire guns worked badly and
that they were only used for a COM
paratively short time
NO correct estimate of the killed and
wounded has yet been received, the
only statment made on the subject be-
ing that of the unofficial report which
says that the British loss was very
slight and that the Matabeles lost very
heavy. The opinion is gaining ground
that the British suffered a bad defeat
and that the Matabele loss was not so
great as at first rumored.
