The question was addressed to Tom
Marvin, who sauntcred up to the group,
and it was an inquiry put with special
intent = in fact, plot, that Toms
friends, or his associates, for the nopce
(Tom made wide distinction between
associates and friends) had devised to
confuse him. Toms most peculiar
trait was a singular franlsness and
undraped truthfulness about himself.
l am sorry to cay that Tom was
known privately among hN associates
us Confession" sometimes shortened
to "Fcss," though no one dared address
him to his face with the scbriquet.
This name, as | have said, was gained
by Toms unusual and singular trans
parency about himself. He seemed to
have no reserve. A question would ex-
tort anything from him bluntly, pro-
vided it concerned only himself. lie
was very far from that brutal IN
kindness which some persons call
truthfulness or sincerity ard pride
themselves much thereon, and which
consists of saying disagreeable things,
if true, no matter how the words or
facts would mortify. On the contrary,
Tom was very kind and heedful in that
matter, and would cover as much as
he could any facts or state of mind in
himself or others which would hurt
another's feelings OF wound his pride.
But in Nil that concerned himself fact
was fact, and that was the end Of 1t,
and the world might have it and well
come. Why should he be ashamed of
fact not shameful? This was what
he said on rare occasions, when some
one had expressed wonder and amuse-
ment at his popularity; but with his
own heart it was unargued and uncon-
scious. He simply was incapable of
covering anything concerning him
self or of caring whether it was known
or unknown, or of thinking what peo-
pie would say
"No," seid Tom. 81 have heard no
news. What is it?'
'Why," said two or three of the
group, Julia Elme is engaged to be
married."
Tom started visibly, i'll spite of GER
tain sturdy fixity that belonged to him,
and his associates exchanged sundIy
sly winks.
"Yes," said one young fellow, insinu-
atingly, "she is engaged, and / call It
good news. Julia Elme is rice girl.
Don't you think it good news, Tom?"
swell, l should say not" said Tom,
stoutly, and walked away.
That was little too much for them,
with all their knowledge of TOMS pc
culiar way. They looked at each other
blankly for a little while, and rot quite
MS comfortable as few minutes before.
One of them expressed his mind in
long, lew whistle, and anotl er said:

were the only features noticeably pret.
ty about the girl, but she had peryad-
ing charm which made one think OF
Emerson's saying; "There is no beau
tifier of complexion or form or be-
hayior like the wish to scatter Joy and
not pain among u.s."
Tom betook himself btraightway
from the disconnected jolxcrs to Miss
Elme's abode, and no sooner was he
seated in the girls presence than he
began, without preface:
Miss Elme, have been told that you
are engaged to be married, and have
come to ask you whether it be true?"
The girls start and flush disturbed
Tom not at all. He was simply intent
on the facts in exactly the same rot
ural way that the atmosphere is ac-
cepted when flowing in an open win
dow.
After a long pause, to abate which
Tom proffered no help, Miss Elme said:
"You are asking strange question
and very abruptly, Mr.. Martin"
"Yes," said Tom.
ut seems to be matter Of my own
private life."

"Well," said the girl, at last, some,

I think ought to know your motive in

"Yes"
"Well," the girl said, wonderingIy,
after another long pause, "whatH your
motive? What has happened? Why do
you wish to know?''
Because I myself want you," said
Tom.
Fearfully blunt, very inelcgant. But
Tom, you know, was no diplomat, and
at that moment every feellng ana pulse
in him went it's natural way and took
the shortest course without reflection
or sense of proportion.
After little the surprised and moved
girl said, softly, but with not quite a
steady voice:
"Then why have you not told me be-
forc?"
Because l am poor"
"That is not good reason"
"You are rich. The two facts to-
gether make good reason"
Il am not rich. l have small sub
sistence-a bare independence"
"Any independence is riches" said
Tom.
The girl replied TO this remark by an
ingenious look of admiration. Then
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1896-02-01

there was silence, in which Tom was
as obstinate as before, but he was pale
and his expression wholly unassuming
Then the girl, who had an originality
and directness of her own not unwor-
thy of Toms, arose and said, quietly:
"Well, will answer your inquiry hon
estly. l am not engaged, but think l
shall be-" And Tom. shade paler
than before, withdrew without word.
After he had gone the girl cried a
little. Then, with misty eyes, she sat
down at her window, which, though in
the city, commanded a view of one large
tree that had become very companion
able to her. Then she began to examine
herself, which process she continued
for week, with intervals of deliber-
ately turning and fixing her mind to
other matters, for she knew that the
eye must not stare too long at any OBJ
ject which it would see plainly. Then
she wrote to Tom as follows: "My
friend, told you was not rich, which
was true. But even then ] was Begin
ming to grow rich. have made some
progress, but can go no further without

Toms humility was not sure of the
meaning of this dear epistlc, but he lost
no time in going to inquire-and he was
made very happy.-Chicago News.

SAVAGE MALAGASY SOLDIERS.
Barbarous Usages in the Military Camps
Conform to Traditions.

Barbarous Usages in the Military Camps
Conform to Traditions.
The Malagasy military camps, sew
eral of which / have recently seen,
though far from what they should be,
yet conform to many of the established
traditions. There are regular lines,
or straight thoroughfares, guards,
headquarters, parades, drillings,
hours for meals, reveille and tattoo.
The soldiers are obedient and well be-
haved, though they have to herd in
wretched tents, and march to pipe and
beat of drum barefoot and scantily
clad. Troops drawn from the capital
or close to it are, as rule, both better
dressed and equipped than the rougher
lcvies of remote local governors. Pain
full stories, not necessarily true, are cur
rent that much of the stores intended
for the soldiers are greedily grabbed
and sold by their own officers, never
reaching either the mems backs or
stomachs. Men may and do buy perma-
nent leave of absence from the army
from their officers, colonies and cap
tains. Decentralization, even among
leaders as well as privates, is what
might be looked for in any unpaid
army, though composed of ordinary
patriots.
Not dissimilar things have happened
in English history, and within 1000
miles of this channel, so there is no
need to be shocked and cry Horror
Of horrors!" at these Malagasy ghouls.
More experienced and vigorous rulers
thar Ranavolana and her consort would
String" all such up as traitors. They
do their best, giving generously and
not sparing powder or tackle" as u
certain royal English lady once did in
our direst national peril, although she
spoke so bravely at Tilbury. Naught
avails in such a strait as war to lessen
risk and hurt, but thorough organiza-
ton. Undisciplined, unordered effort,
however ungrudgingly given, is a pal
try, faulty substitute for well-planned
method. Like too many more, the
Malagasy will learn the force of this
truism through bitter and dear expert
ence. Already they begin to fear that
a voluntary commissariat is only a
lesser evil than having none. After the
capture Of Tsovrasoavatra, and the loss
OF their stores and tents at that place,
numbers Of men were IN sore plight
for nearly a fortnight, and several OF
the sick actually died Of starvation.
Since then provisions have been more
plentiful, for large supplies OF rice have
been sent forward toward Andribn,
near which the main body Of the army

Bill Was Busy.

Over at Frog island the other day a
woman visitor fell into the river. She
was trying to get into rowboat, when
she slipped and was left with her
hands in the boat and her feet on the
dock. The water was very shallow
and the problem solved itself in the
simplest way. When the boat drifted
out far enough the woman fell into
the river and was helped out by a
couple of fishermen, who came to the
rescue as soon as they could get
through laughing at the woman's pre-
dicament.
The lady took it seriously enough,
though, "Bill! Bill" she shrieked to
the bartender at Floss "HeIp! Helpl
Come quick, or I'll be drownedl"
"Wait minute!" yelled back the
