THE RUNAwAYs.

At first it was fun, as Dick had
prophesied, but as the darkness closed
about and the stars pricked one by
one through the purple dusk, their
spirits felt and Meggie clutched nerv-
ously at her protectors arm.
''How far is it," she whispered, con-
scious of much drowsiness. 1t was her
bed time hour.
If Dick had been alone he would,
perhaps, have cried at this stage. But
Meggie's small, moist fist in his, and
the pathetic sound of her laboring
breath, placed upon him a terrific
sense of responsibility. When he tried
to deny it by scolding her soundly
when she stumbled, her self-restrained
whimper made him feel a brute, and
he gave her their last sandwich. But
to see her MUNICH it made him hungry.
The moon came out. Dick, casting
fearful chances over the dim-llt fields,
found the need of breaking silence.
Its orful nice, amt it," he said
mournfully.
''Orful," agreed Meggie, and tear
rolled down her cheek. After that the
conversation Jagged.
Meggie was only three, but some day
she would be woman. Thus it was
that a torn frock and of her best leg
horn, nothing but q remembrance left,
entailed greater woe than the dark
ness. Dick was five, and a man, and
he thought of bears. So they were
neither of them happy.
As they toiled through rough stub
BILE and broken fields they did not
often pause TO rest.

LITERARY NOTES.
Iooutinued from Page 81

Assf square meal in week.-HarPers
Weekly.

A Russian military paper not long
ago informed its readers that the life
of the officers in the British army
was one of the utmost ease and lux
ury; every officer, even the humblest
subaltern, owned his yacht, his race
horses, and his box at the opera
when CHARTERED, that is to say, where
such a luxury could lie obtained (the
yacht and the racing tud were every
where)-while the more wealthy pos
sessed their grousemoors, their deer
forests, ETC., the majority playing
cards every night for enormous stakes
and spending large sums on presents
to actresses and other follies.
Such a description is more pictuf-
esque than accurate, for although in
many corps the cost of living is hign.
yet foolish extravaganza is the excep-
ton rather than the rule. In Her
Majesty's household brigade, for in
stance, which is the corps d'elite, a.
though the officers are nearly all
wealthy men yet the style of living
does not approach the magnifcence
with which it is credited in the imag-
ination of the foreign journalist and
by the facile pens of some of the
prominent lady novelists. Life in the
Guards is very pleasant, according 70

Movement, Dick had found, dulled
the keen terror of sliding shadow
shapes. Meggie now wept openly and
with a vague gratitude that Dick
should have lent her his pocket hand
kerchief. Later she drowsed and dozed
on his shoulder, and if he found her
weight irl1some he bore it with few
shrugs.
Presently, however, she was reeling
like one intoxicated, and he, capitu-
lating to fate, lowered her to the
ground, covered her with his jacket,
and sat down to reflect. 1t was a very

An impulse rose strong in him to

The war articles in the September
Scribner's are led by Richard HARD
ing Davis account of 1.-The Rough Rid
ers' Fight at Guasimas" There is no
information at secondhand in this
article; Mr.. Davis was in the thick of
the fight and writes of what he saw.
When he brushes, once for all, the
story of a surprise, he does it with
positive knowledge of the previous Or
ders given and received by General
Wheeler and Colonel Wood The con-
versation he had with the men in the
fight are vivid bits of dramatic dia-
logue. The whole article is the fullest
as well as the most thrilling account
of the Guasimas fight yet published
and will stand as the historical pic
ture of that famous event. The illus
trations give many of the best known
men in the Rough Riders, and views
of the country over which they
fought. There are also drawings from
life by the artists H. C. Christy, who
was there.
Episodes of the Santiago campaign
are given in brief and exciting narra-
tives. Edward Marshall, Jhe hero.c
correspondent who insisted on dictat-
ing his account of the fight while sup
posed to be dying on the field, is now
in New York hospital and has writ
ten his recollections of the Guasimas
fight. What it means to be shot and
to be in a field hospital expecting
death has never been presented so feel
ingly before. What most affected Mr..
Marshall was the unselfishness and
kindness of other wounded men
around him.
Another correspondent, j. E. Cham
berlin of the New York Evening Post,
was in the thick of the fight, and de-
scribes ''How the Spaniards Fought at
Caney." 1t is a generous recognition
of what so many officers In the regu-
lar army have commented upon-the
brave fighting of the Spanish in the
trenches.
II. C. Christy, an artist represent
ing Scribner's, was on the hill with
Grimes battery during the San Juan
fight. He writes his personal impress
sions and illustrates EN- with his
own drawings and photographs.
How "a Warship Community" lives
is described by w. j. Henderson, the
well known writer, who is a member
of the Naval Reserves. The illustra-

more fortunate, as he can generally
count on six months leave in the year.
1t naturally follows that the Guards
men are great travellers; the British
officer" says, shat wherever the Brit
ish pioneer has penetrated, some Liem-
Der of the brigade has ventured also
at no considerable interval. The north
pole itself appears to be the only vir-
gin soil to some of the .older spirits
of the brigade"
Notwithstanding this picture of en-
joyment the actual surroundings of
has daily life are simple enough, and
the necessary expenses are not nearly
so prohibitory as one nigh suppose.
The Guardsman receives the same pay
as officers of corresponding rank IN
line, with the addition of e70 a year
Guards pay, SO that it is possible for
a youngster of an economical turn to
live in the Guards on an allowance of
$500 year in addition to his pay.
But it is only fair to admit that it is

national republican convention LIST.
Louis, July II, 1896, ~
The financial policy Of the republic
can party having brought prosperity
to the entire country, and given us a
place among the nations Of the earth
and enabled us to conduct successfully
a foreign war, We. therefore, unhesi-
tatingly reaffirm the financial plank Of
the platform as expressed by the ma
tional convention at st. Louis.
We congratulate the country upon
the fact that in response to the demand
of the st. Louis platform, and the will
Of the people expressed at the polls in
1896, protection and reciprocity, twin
measures Of republican policy, have
been re-established and have been en-
bodied in, by the enactment Of the
Dingley bill. and we especially con-
graduate the people Of Wyoming upon
the enactment of this law, which has
directly benefited our two great indus
tries, viz: the raising Of live stock and
the mining Of coal, by which both d.
rectly and indirectly have brought
prosperity to every business within our
state.
We most cordially approve the ad-
ministration Of President Mckinley.
He has met the unusually grave and
difficult questions which have arisen
since his incumbency OF the presiden-
tial office in a so wise and pa
triotic as to challenge the admiration
Of all parties at home and to win the
approval Of the best people throughout
the civilized world. We express our
earnest approval Of the vigorous prose-
cution Of the war and our entire con-
fdence in his ability to secure such
terms Of peace, which we believe to be
near at hand, as will advance human
liberty and comfort, with the honor
and dignity Of the American people.
We believe our country under a repub-
lican administration ia entering upon
its greatest period Of power, happi-
ness and responsibility, and we realize
the mighty future Of successful progress
and duty which is ever now before us,
supported by the republican party, Is
fully able to pursue a policy upon the
declaration Of peace with Spain which
will at once maintain the dignity and
honor Of u nation and bring pros
perity to the islands which will come
under her control and protection.
We extend to the brave men on land
and sea who have gone forth to battle
for the glory Of u flag and the cause
of human liberty, our deepest sympa-
thy on account OF the sacrifices they
have made and the hardships they are
called upon to endure, and our :warmest
praise for their unoonquerable valor;
We honor, congratulate and applaud our
country's heroes throughout the entire
nation, and especially those from our
own commonwealth, who have once
more proved the matchless fntelligence,

What l a never understood is
where the pleasure comes in of going
to several parties the same evening.
Yet there are many apparently san
persons who do this every evening dur
ing the season. At each party they
probably have to wait at least half an
hour before getting out of their carriage
and getting back into it when they
want to go away. They struggle up
stairs, show themselves, stay perhaps
half an hour and then hurry off to the
next party. Why they should like this
mode of spending their evenings no or
except themselves can imagine. There

The highest income received during

Of which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent, was about $12,9 $40. But the in
come Of the state mas been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment Of Governor Richards ad'1lnis-
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $50, 9S2.S9. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
~lation, as lieu lands, 341, no acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue of $17,0S8. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
