take his chances. The Gght could not
pause for him. Yet the Wrinkled face and
the pinched features attracted and hold
Fleming's eyes, end he wondered in a
vague way what the man would do
whether he would crouch again in the cor.

of reproach and upbraiding.
Fleming could not account for the in

strength OF the gaze that met his own and
held him back from his purpose for the
figure of the old man was not command
ing, and his fright was obvious He was
about to order him down the stairs, but
at that moment the civilian raised himself
up, and his eyes grew bolder.
Fleming with the quickness of intuition
saw that this old man whom he had do
spised felt one Of those sudden inspirations
Of courage which sometimes come even to

figure, the Frightening OF the eye, the look
that was prophetic, and again he paused
as he was about TO give command.

troops and bluejackets had landed the
enemy quickly gave in. Several sailors
and soldiers made break for the fort
from which was dying the Spanish flag.
Huse outstripped his comrades, reached
the roof first and hauled down the enc.
my's colors. He kept the trophy until
he returned to the Gloucester, when he
turned it over to his commander.
Wainwright intended to keep the
souvenir and had place in his library
set aside for it. Upon receiving the de-
partment order requiring all flags and
other relics Of the war to be delivered
over to the department, however, he
promptly gave up his treasure, and it is
now at Annapolis.
There are several valuable souvenirs
of the war at the department, one Of
the finest being a magnificent bronze
bust Of Christopher Columbus, which
was rescued from the Colon, Admiral
Ceryera's flagship. The bronze piece is
wonderfully well nodded and is pro-
nounced by oOnnoisseurs of such art as
an unusually artistic and true piece
of work. The bust bears little resem.

The young khedive Of Egypt IL one OF

England intends to quit the land Of an

indefinitely.
A very difficult position is that Of the
Ewarthy young man who is allowed to

II is impossible, therefore, not to feel q
sortain amount of sympathy with young

The khediye may be said to lead two
ysry distinct lives-the one in the purely
qualification Of natural tastes, the other
being In conformity to that destiny which
made him the heir TO the position which
his father and grandfather had occupied
before him. The first he leads as farmer
and breeder In his fields and stables at
Koubbeh and the other when in uni

In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long. That is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but It soon wears his
life out. 1t is practically death sentence,
and he knows It; he would rather be shot.
Many sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is Juggling
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with mortal disease. 1t

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9th, 1898.
The Importance of the subjects dealt
with is ample excuse for the unusual
length of President McKinley's annual
message to Congress, the greater portion
Of which is about the war, the events
leading up to it. connected with and
following it, up to the acceptance OF our
terms Of Peace. The general tone of
the message Is highly commended; also
the handling of the more or less deli
cate question connected with our ac-
quirement Of the Philippines. 1t is free
from rancor and bombast, although fully
recognizing the unprecedented achieve
ments of the country in the war with
Spain. Its dominant note is patriotism
of the highest order-patriotism. such
as every good American feels, regard
less of political affiliation and can en-
dorse. If the sentiment In Congress is
representative of that of tbs country,
and it usually is, the message will be
generally commended.
While the legislation of the session
of Congress, which opened to day, will
have little direct connection with the
newly acquired territory Of the country,
several of the regular appropriation bills
notably those for the army and for the
navy, as we'll as the bill for the increase
of the regular army, will furnish texts,
for many speeches on that subject, and
tho talk of Senators and Representa-
tives indicates all intention to take full
advantage of those texts. Consequently
the debates of the present session are
expected to be unusually lively and in
tefesting.

nent republican Senators to fight shy of
