In her girlhOOd pretty May Shafter was
a society favOrite. She met q gallant
soldier and ere long her place at the
family fireside was vacant. 1t is sew
eral years ago that she married Maj
w. II. McKittrlck and they have since
lived on a ranch a few miles from San
Francisco, not far from her parents.
The loss Of her mother was a great
blow to Mrs. McKittrick. Then came
the war and father and husband both
marched away. The husband went out
a captain and returned a major. 1t was
he who raised the flag over Santiago
after the surrender.

CHAPTER v,

They talk about it now in the pretty,
picturesque town of Woodeaves-that
wonderful wedding, the like of which was
never seen there before or since. The
wedding of the young earl with Lawyer
Temples daughter. They tell you of the
bright morning, the blue sky, that had
no cloud; the golden sun, that seemed 20
rain down blessings; Of the western wind,
that might have blown straight from the
spice lands, it was SO fragrant; of the
birds that sang as though the wedding had
,een in the garden of Paradise; of flow
crs that bloomed so fresh and fair, as
though in honor of the golden-haired bride
herself, the fairest flower Of all.
Dim eyes are reading my pages now
eyes that look back through the long vista
Of years-eyes dimmed and dulled with
heavy tears; and they took back through
weary years of trouble, Of toll, and OF
wrong upon the wedding day. The day
that they believed was to be the last of
sorrow. the first opening into golden life
of hope and promise.
There were grand friends Of the young
earl officers in Glittcring uniforms. lords
whose names filed the simple country
fcopie with awe. The br;degroom's moth
n was not there: size. it was rumored,

vas a whole string of bridesmaids, the
..rrttiest girls iii the county. vino We're
nroud of the honor of attending one who
was so soon to be Lady Selwyn.
The old parish church. with its tall spire
and gray walls, looked its best: it was fill
ed with a brilliant crowd. Little chill
dren flung flowers under the feet of the
bride, flowers whose thOrns pricked her
sorely in the sad after days; and then, as
she stood in the center of that magnifi-
cent group, while the words Of the mar
.iage service were read over her, every
one saw from the eastern window a gold
en- sunbeam streaming in and forming
halo round her fair young head.

THIS BUSY WORLD.

Coffee is to be cheaper. This is to be one of the results of the war. Nearly half of the worlds coffee crop comes to the United States. We consume al most twelve pounds per annum for every one of our population and spend on an average nearly s3e000, 600 a year for coffee. Two-thirds of the worId' $ supply of coffee comes from Brazil, which places an export duty of II per cent upon the fragrant berry. The finest coffee in the world is grown in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines and under the stimulation of American enterprise these countries will, within a few years, be able to supply the world with coffee. What this means to the coffee consumer he can clearly understand.

SPAIN IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The request Of the Spanish govern me1t to be allowed to send warships to the Philippines to protect her in- terests there against the insurgents is so absurd that it is difficult to- believe that it can have been made seriously. As reported, this request is based upon the fact that Admiral Dewey has de- stroyed all the naval forces Of Spain in those waters, and that in conse- quence Spain is unable to enforce her authority over any of the islands of that archipelago.
 This, however, is Spains ;misfor- tune, and her only recourse is to leave the islands to such control as the Unit ed states is able to exercise. It is diff cult, indeed, to understand what Spain can do if left to herself. Admiral Ga mara started for the Philippines good while ago with all that was left of Spain's naval power, and after getting a part Of his fleet through the Suez canal he got it back again for the req son that it was impracticable to carry out the purpose of his expedition Spain has acquired no warships since that fiasco. What would she send tc the Philippines?
 But, apart from. the impossibility O. sending Spanish warships to the Phil l ippines, there is the primary consider. ation that these islands are now in the

THE NAVY IS POPULAR. ii

There is to be no reduction in the enlisted force of the navy. The num- Der of men on the naval rolls now is greater than has been the case in many years, justturning the 10000 point, and it is the purpose of the department to keep the service recruited up to the full limit. No difficulty in doing this is looked for, since many men in the naval militia have expressed a determi- nation to join the regular navy as soon as they receive discharges from the auxiliary branchof the service. As an illustration of the popularity of the navy, it is stated that there have been fewer assertions from the ships since they returned from Cuba than has been known during corresponding periods Of time in many years.-Savannah News.
