Mrs. Walton was her name He knew
shat because he followed her into the hotel
and entered his name in the visitors book
Immediately after hers.
She was evidently travelling alone, and
he kept his eye on her to the end of the
Journey His destination happened to be
hers also.
They both landed at Roderick, and she
preceded him along the landing-stage to
the hotel, and, as we have seen, entered
her name in the visitors hook at the
request of the proprietor.

He thanked his stars that he was planted
in the same hotel with her.
Then began the maddest, happest time
in all Edward Brogden's career. He let
himself go. In proportion to the discre-
ton in all previous affairs of the heart was
the abandonment and reckessness of this
last infatuaton.
He cast all prudence to the winds. He
knew nothing about Mrs. Walton, nor
did he wish to know anything.
lie was sick of prudence. He had been
prudent and cautious all his life, and here
he was at 80 years OF age unloved and I'M
loving. Yes he would let himself go for
once.
1t would appear that all the unat-
tached men in the hotel had come to a
similar decision, for before many day
were over they were all her devoted
slaves. She smiled through her gold
trimmed glasses on all impartally, and she
showed no invidious preference as to the
person with whom she walked or talked.
The ladies', too, fell under her spell, and
declared that she was a claiming young
thing, 50 gay and innocent.
"Mrs. Walton is quite delightful, of
course, said one matron to another, "but
l must say she is little indiscreet and
may lay herself open to misconstruction. "
II suppose she is what one might call an
emancipated woman"
''But even an emancipated woman might
discriminate; she accepts attentions from
all sorts and conditions of men,
"And yet one cannot say she encourages
them; she is quite pleasant with women,
TOO, and will spend a whole morning play

The Tables Turned.

On one occasion when a weli-knOwn
wit was listening to the band on the
pier at Brighton, some medical. stu

they would have a joke with him. and
accordingly one of their number went
up with outstretched hand and said:
"Ah, good-morning, Mr.. -! How do
you do?"

he, but 1 really have not had the honor

Teachers in the public schools of a
large city hear many stories, some of
them amusing, some of them pathetic.
A young woman who teaches in kin
dergarten in Boston, upon learning
that one of her little pupils was sick,
went to visit her. The teacher had
been to Katie's home before, and so had
no difficulty in finding the two little
rooms at the top of a tenement house
where Katie and her mother lived. The
mother was absent, and Katie, well
wrapped up, was sitting up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condo
lences, the teacher noticed that the lit
tie girl seemed to speak with some diff
ficuIty, and said:
katie, am going to examine your
lungs"
"Yes'm," responded the child, duti-
fully, and Miss c. began to loosen
the child's waist. After removing it
she found layer after layer of flannel,
which she unfastened with some diff

WASHINGTON, June II. Assistant
Secretary of War Meiklejohn said Frs
day night it was probable the first
part of the next expedition
TO the Philippines would leave
San Francisco for Manila Satur-
day. The transports which will con-
vey the troops to Manila are the Ohio.

MANILA is OURS.
A Hong Kong Dispatch Says the City
Has Surrendered.
Ambassador Hay, of London, Sends the
News to Washington, Where it Caused
the Greatest Delight-Dewey Caps
the Climax to His Victory.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-'Hongkong
advices say Manila has surrendered"
This dispatch was received at Sun
day midnight from Ambassador Hay,
at London.
That was the whole story, but it is
taken for granted at the navy depart
ment that Ambassador Hay received
his news from official sources in Lon
don, and that it is correct The news
was at once carried over to
the white house, and caused in
tense delight. Direct news from Adm
Dewey had been expected Sunday
night, as it was known he sent dis
patch boat to Hong Kong, and it was
presumed that by this time Dewey and
Aguinaldo between them must have
forced the city to surrender.
No one here doubts the news. brief
ness of the dispatch from Ambassador
Hay being taken as an evidence of
its reliability, and the navy depart
ment was cOngratulating itself Sun
day night in the belief that Dewey
has capped the climax of his great
victory by hauling down the Spanish
flag and running up the stars and
stripes without waiting for the slow
moving army, just as Sampson landed
| at Guantanamo while the army was
| fleeing from ghost ships at Tampa.

'Three shots were fired on this side.

''Three!" repeated the captain. And
how many on yours, Mr.. Trelawney?'
But this was not so easily answered.
There had come many from the north
seven, by the squire's computation;
eight or nine, according to Gray. From
the east and west only single shot
had been fired. 1t was plain, therefore,
that the attack would be developed
from the north, and that on the other
three sides we were only to be an
noyed by a show of hostilities. But
Capt. SmolIett made no change in his
arrangements. If the mutineers sue
ceeded in crossing the stockade, he ar
gued, they would take possession OF
any unprotected loop hole and shoot us
down like rats in our stronghold.
