ARE WEARING ROSES.
SAN Francisco, May 21.-The
Twentieth Kansas volunteers are Just
outside San Francisco at the Bay dis
trict race track. The trip was ended
last night without sickness or acci-
dent. The first real military work
began today, when the regiment went
into camp at the race track here.
All day yesterday the Kansas vol
unteers ran the gauntlet OF a fine
courtesy and gracious, unceasing
good will. The shower Of flowers be-
gan at the State line and ended in
San Francisco. Rifle volleys well
coined the flying train and gave to it
martial farewell The men and the
cars were so adorned with the roses
that were given them and with tri-
color ribbons that the train looked
like a show train decorated for some
national festivity. Lieut.. Col. Little's
car was transformed into a reception
room Oand nearly every car in the
train was invaded by women, who
showered flowers right and left. On
arrival here the boys were taken in
charge by the Red Cross society and
each was given sandwiches and coffee
and fine California rose was pinned
to his lapel.
ON THE WAY.
En- ROUTE, May l9.-At this writ
ing the Twentieth Kansas volunteers
are crossing the north end of the
great American desert. The train is
whirling through seemingly endless
plain covered with sage brush and
cactus, with snow-capped mountains
showing in the blue distance. The
is indescribably lonely, even
the occasional sheep ranches which
were seen on the plains of Wyoming
being absent.
The men pass the time in various
ways, card games being the most pop
nlar means Of relieving the tedium Of
the trip. When all other means are
exhausted they 60 to "kcking" and
there are many things to kick about.
They kick about the od-which is
canned beans, corned beef, hardtack
and coffee-claiming that they are
1nly getting half ratons. They find
'ault with the slow rate Of speed and
roar because the guards will not al.

town when the train stops

me and I'll show you track through

He started off into the cover without
waiting for a reply, and Kettle with a
frOwn turned and followed at his heels.
Capt. Kettle preferred to do the order
ing himself, and this young man seemed
apt to assert command. However, the
moment was one for hurry. The night
was beginning to thin. So he got up
speed again, and the trees and the un-
Gergrowth closed behind him.
''Dieu, dieu, dieu," cried out the tor
mented prisoner within the wall as a

when l can say that not once curing
that CHASTITY voyage did he either hurry
or scurry or splash. He was prey
to the most abominable dread; he ex-
pended ~ hours over an hours SWIM,
and it seemed to him space OF years;
and when he grounded on the beach OF
the isle de Salut he was almost rant
ing from the strain Of his emotions, and
for while lay on the SAND, sobblng
like an hysterical schoolgirl
But sound revived him and sent full
energy into his limbs again without a
prelude. From the distance there came
to him the noise of shod feet crunching
with regulation tread along the shringle.
He was lying in the track of q sentry's
beat.
BY instinct his hand dragged the re-
volver from its beckets on his cap, and
then he rose to his feet and darted away
like some slim, pink ghost across the
beach into the shelter of the thickets.
He lay there holding his breath, and
watched the sentry pace up on his
patrol. 1t was evident that the man had
not seen him; the fellow neither glanced
towards the cover nor searched the
beach for foot-tracks; and yet he car
ried his rifle in the crook Of his arm
ready for a snapshot, and flickered his
eyes to this side and to that like a man
habitually trained to sudden alarms and
quick trigger finger. His every move
ment was eloquent of the care with
which the isle de Salut was warded.
Kettle waited till the man had gone
off into the dark again and the sound

ILL.,
Some men like the historical DIR. Fell
have the knack, unknown to themselves,
Of inspiring dislike in others, and Glare
had this effect upon Capt. Owen Kettel.
Tie little sailors dislike was born at
the first moment of their meeting; it
grew as he ran through the forest of
the Isle de Salut; and even when Clare
fell upon a sentry and beat the sense
out of him as neatly as he could have
done it himself. Kettle failed to adj
mire or sympathize with him. On the
return swim to the turkle-backed island
he came very near to wishing that
shark would get the man, although
such a calamity would have meant his
own almost certain destruction; and
when they lay together, packed ike
a pair of sardines in the shelter pit,
under the intolerable sunshine or the
succeeding day, it was with difficulty he
could keep his hands off this fellow
whom he had gone through so much
to help.
Clare put in what of talking was
done; the sailor preserved a sour g um
silence; he felt that if he gave his vine
gary tongue the freedom it wished for,
nothing could prevent a collision.
lie argued OuJWlCH uluselA tue cause
for this lislike during the succeeding
night. They had got the boat in the
water, had mast-headed the lug, and
were running northwest before snor-
ing breeze towards the British West In
dian Islands. He himself, with main
sheet in one hand and tiller in the other,
was in solitary command. Glare was
occupied in baling back the seas to their
appointed place
For long time the utmost he could
discover against the man was that on
occasions he twas too bossy' and with
bitter satire he ridiculed himself for a
childish weakness. But then another
thought drifted into his. mind, and
he picked it up and weighed it, and
balanced it, and valued it, till, under
the fostering care, it grew, and the lit

Turn now to another scene. There Is
a certain turtle-backed isle in the Car
ibbean sea sufficiently small and naked
to be nameless on the charts. The adj
miraIty photographers mark it merely
by tiny black dot; the American chart
maker has gone further, and branded
it as "shoal," which seems to hint land
quite incorrectly that here is water
over it as least during spring tides.
The isIet which is egg-shaped, meas
ures some $50 yards across it's longer
diameter, and although no green seas
can. roll across its face, it is sufficiently
low in the water for the spindrift to
whip every inch Of its surface during
even the mildset of gales. On these oc-
easions the wind lifts great layers Of
sand from off the roof OF the isle; but
even the sea spews up more sand against
the beaches; and so the bulk of the isle
the material whereof vt is built is no
two months the same.
AS residence the place is singularly
undesirable, and it is probable that until

when in reality it is at least 20 miles.
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
in the way of finding out just what it was
vas the fact that it was inaccessible,
and when they came anywhere near the
spot the hole disappeared from sight.
In fact, it can only be seen from within
few miles Of Tucson, and this has lad
many people to believe that it is not q
hole at all.
By the aid Of a good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within

the exact nature Of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be TO.

A first peep through the glass would
lead one to believe that there was no
mystery about it. The hole appears as
