"aIad Establishment"

No matter what is in train, whether
it be the siege of Sebastopol, the ad-
vance to Khartoum, the blockade of
Manila, or any other little excitement,
if Englishmen be on the spot, they
are pretty certain to do either one of
two things, OF both-play cricket
match; hold a race meeting. Those
of the British nation in Manila, in view
of the scarcity of food, would seem to
be keeping their hacks and hunters
for the larder, and have therefore con-
tented themselves with the pleasures
of the cricket field. The ''mad Eng
lishmen," as they are called by tho
Manila people, would not be satisfied
until, in the words of correspond
ent, "under a blazing tropical sun,
with the American feet in the bay, a
bombardment imminent, and the ma
tives on the point of rising to massacre
the whole crowd--for that is what it
is likely to come to if they do rise-a

tween Manila and the Immortalite

Each day Of our lives

To be conscious that we

Hearts that are sad;

posals. Fannie was not O marrying
girl, and she used to say that no one
but herself realized how much In the
way of relief she owed to those blessed
twins. The suitors also were wont to
bless the twins, but 10 somewhat
different spirit. One cf these suitors
was on the boat that very day, aud he
had Fannie ''eribbed aud confined, .
as 1t We're. in one corner OF deserted
quarter cf the deck; the twins were
out Of renge for once, and he thought
be was making good Roadway. But
really in her heart Fannie was de-
spising him for fop; his immaculate
clothes came first, she thought; his
viands next, probably; and, lastly,
with what little was left Of him, his
character.
That particular day he walked up
his avenue OF approach, undisturbcd
by bark of dog or remark Of twin. He
was nearer the delectable mountains
than ever before, he realized, and his
heart thumped madly against the
irreproachable waistcoat, as he opened
his mouth to ask the decisive ques-
ton.
Just at that moment shrill scream
pierced the sultry air. Then hurry
ing and scurrylng of feet was heard,
Instantly ray of knowledge flashed
its way into Fannie's brain. "One Of
the twins is overboard" she said to
herself, as she sped down the near
stairs and along the lower deck.
Just as she reached the bow of the
boat she saw little skirt drawn in by
the suction Of the water between the
barge ION which most Of the excursion
lists were embarked) and the boat that
drew it. Another moment and the
same little skirt, and child's face,
half lf-hidden in her long, wet hair, was
borne by the swift waters out and
down the river.
Lou had fallen overheard.
There was chaos for time. Every
body was running to see. Some one
clung to the mother, who wanted to
leap after her child. Little Sue was
wailing and Fannie wringing her
hands and thinking how this would
never have happened had she not been
engaged by that hateful dude.
From the pilot house two men
leaned and watched the child--the
pilot and sort of one-legged '.handy
