CHATTER VII

IL was two days later-a soaking
wet afternoon. Ever since early morn
ing the rain had been descending in a
steady persistent downpour, beating
upon the scorched grass, dashing to
pieces the cows of stately ]calceolarias
m geraniums, and converting every
path and flight Of steps into as many
miniature streams u turbulent cas-
cades Of seething waters.
Major Brown, driven almost to des-
pair by the depressing prospects OF
the day, wandered aimlessly from
billiard room to smoking room, from
smoking room to library, and at last
sat down before n Of the writing
tables and hastily dashed off one or
two unimportant letters. His corre-
spondence completed, he directed and
sealed the envelopes, and was leisure
~ aftxing the stamps. when his at
tention became suddenly arrested by
something on the sheet Of blotting pa
per before him.
What was It? With the execution
OF a number of indescribable h~ierogly-
phics and the impression Of a line Of
more boldly written characters, which
had evidently been hastily blotted. the
surface Of the pink sheet was perfect
ly blank. Putting up his eye glass,
he scanned them for at least a couple
Of minutes in absolute silence, and
then. giving a cautious glance round
the room, as though a sudden thought
had struck him. he advanced, blotting
book in hand, towards a Enthusiastically
framed mirror which stood above the
marble mantel. This further scrutiny
was, to all appearance, even more sue
cessful, for, as Major Brown held up
the strangely interesting sheet close
to h glass, a smile Of satisfaction
Immediately lit up his face.

An English traveller in northern
Russia, telling how he made his way
through a forest after a fall of snow
simply by keeping that side of the tree
to which the snow chung always in the
same relation to his course, is led to
examine how it is that a savage gains
the instincts Of his race. We often
hear of the instinct Of direction" as
we may call it, possessed SO marvel
ously by savage races. People profess
to explain it in one of two ways. 1t is
either said that the Indian actually
does take note of the sun, the wind,
the lay Of the land, or the course of the
streams,-which, as a fact, it is often,
in the dense forest, impossible for him
to door else it is set down simply as
INSTINCT" and this, although it is
nearer the mark, is, in a sense, to beg
the question. Instinct, however it
may be in the cas of animals, is here,
no doubt, hereditary experience. The
sun, the wind, the streams are influ-
ences, but only that. The Indian does
not consciously observe them. Just as
you, using an experience gained in
daylight, can follow without hands in
the dark a winding staircase between
the baluster and the wall, SO with the
Indian in his forest. His "observa-
ton is entirely subjective, an un-
conscious impression, the sum of small,
influences, to which, by heredity, his
senses are alive, as the retina to light

consciously remarked the lay Of the
snow on the trees, yet the fact kept ms
from going astray.

At Once-The Outlook In General,

LONDON, Oct. 7.-There has been
almost a complete dearth of news
from South Africa today. The few dis
patches received recording military
movements at various points all
tend to confirm the belief hat Presi-
dent Kruger will restrain any forward
movement by the Beers unless they
are fired upon or war is actually de-
clared. 1t is nov practically certain
that parliament will meet on October
II
Reserves will be summoned tomcr-
row in sufficient number to bring UP
to war strength the regiments warned
to hold themselves in readiness for
service in South Africa, or about one
sixteenth of the total reserves.
The Daily News asserts that an
army corps will be modified tomor-
row.

London-The Capetown CORE

A sensation has been caused here
by the statement that the Free State
government has seized 500 tons of
coal belonging to the Cape colony,
which had to traverse the state. J..

Some surprise is fanifested over the

Transvaal will be invaded from the
west.

stored. The war commission, acting
under the governments instruction,
will today issue advice to shopkeep-
ers to remove the barricades they
have erected IN the ground that the
governments guarantee of protection
ought to be sufficient.

Just left his house at Manchester, said
with regard to the receptions being

ut does not surprise m in the least.
Admiral Dewey is a brave and noble
man, and for the extraordinary service
he has rendered his country no honor
that can be shown him in return is too
great. He has aroused the admira-
ton of the whole world by the gallant
ry of his conduct, and he would be a
small man, indeed, who could not rec
ognize his merit and give free express
sion to his admiration for Dewey's

DEWEY ACCEPTS THE KOUSE,
lscceives 1t ns a Gift From Over Forty
Thousand Americans.

Thousand Americans.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Admirul
Dewey has elected to accept a house
IN Washington, already constructed,
instead of having one built for his &C.
supation. In compliance with the invI-
tation Of the committee which has In
charge the Dewey home work he called
at h Office Of Acting Secretary Allen
IN the Navy department at II o'clock
today, to indicate his preferences in
the matter OF a residence. There were
present, besides Mr.. Allen, Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip, Assistant POST
master General Heath and General
CCrbin.
The admiral was officially informed
of the purpose Of the people of the
United States to present him with a
home in Washington. He frankly en-
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He
said, had the proposed home been the
gift OF a few wealthy men, he should
feel indispcsed to accept it. But he
understood the fund had over As, 900
subscribers, indicating that the home
was really to he the gift Of the Amer
lean people, and as such he would ac-
cept it with as much pleasure as he
had the sword bestowed upon him by
congress. He then talked upon the
location OF the residence.

Two Happy Thoughts.

From far-away Ceylon comes &
funny little story. A tea planter who
had a glass eye was DESTROYS of going
away for a days shooting with e
friend, but he knew that as soon as the
natives who were at work on the plan.
tation heard that he was going they
would not do a stroke Of work. How
vas he to get off? That was the ques.
ton. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going up to the men, he
addressed them thus: although l my.
self will be absent, yet 1 shall leave
one of my eyes to see that you do your
work" And, much to the surprise
and bewilderment of the natives, hi
took out the glass eye and placed i
on the stump of a tree and left. Fol
some time the men worked Industrious
ly, but at last one of them, Selling hi:
tin in which he carried his food, ap.
preached the tree and gently placed i
over the eye. This done, they all lal
down and slept sweetly until sunset

CHAPTER VI.

1T is very awkward, but then it is
lust exactly what n might have sup
posed would happen" Lady Howard
spoke in a strangely perturbed tone.
For the past few minutes she had been
occupied in reading the London pa
per, but the remark, which was ac-
companied by a faint sigh, was evil
dently the outcome Of a previous con-
~versation. IF one has a particular
~antlpathy for a certain individual, one
may be quite sure that, as ill-luck will
have 1t, n will be brought in con-
tact with that very individual at every
turn n corner; Inc it has just been
SO with Major Brown. During the past
tour or five days we must have had oc-
casion to speak to him at least a
hozen times. What with lending us
us umbrella on the day we were caught
IN that thunder shower, helping In the
search for Sambo when you lost him
the other morning, and to crown all,
rescuing you almost from under the
hoofs of that tiresome horse upon the
shore yesterday, we seem to have pass
ell our time In saying nothing but
thank you,' to him. Really every
thing has happened as awIkward,y as it
could. OF course accidents are con-
Stantly occurring; still I cannot mag
Inc how you managed to get under
the boots Of that horse"
well, yes-it was troublesome OF
me. 1t would have been almost bet
ter II 1t had killed me outright" was
Evelyn's answer from tho deep en-
brasure of the window, where she was
sitting before a small writing table
busily scribbling of several notes.
But, anyhow, we were under an OBJ
legation to him for getting wet through
on u account the other night, when
In that pouring rain he found us a cab
after the theater. After that, We were
obliged to be polite to him."
"Yes-polite of course" agreed her
iadyship, twisting her rings somewhat
thoughtfully round and round upon her
Fingers; but you have to be more than
