The endless chain" device has been used
for many purposes. Charity, patriotism
and fraud have summoned it for their par
ticular ends. 1t has bought refugees for
aged persons, hospital care for the ailing,
monuments for heroes and snug winnings
for swindiers. 1t is now being put to a new
use having been employed by the Aguinal-
do Aid Society to make traitors. A citizen
of Washington has just discovered that he
has been accorded the questionable honor
of being chosen as a link in this chain OF
treason. He was badly selected, however,
for this purpose. for he sends to The Star
the notification he received and thus gives
the strongest evidence that he has broken
the chain. The announcement which came
to him is as follows:
Edward Atkinson. Box liz, Boston, pub
fishes the 'Anti-Imperialist, opposed to
tropical expansion and to the present war
fare in the Philippines.
Copy this form on ten postal cards
more or less, ana mail to your friends so
to weld together the lmperialist
chain. Also send this copy to your next
friend Let him keep it moving on.
Each one who receives this notice, please
go and do likewise
Box H. in Boston thus advertises itself
as the nucleus of this movement. The
most ardent hope of the true American
should be that it will be filled to overflow
ing with responses to the invitation to
subscribe, in order that the sef-answering
literature of the Aid Society may dissent
nate itself early and through the inevita-
BILE reaction work its own cure.

CHAPTER XXI

Years have passed away since we re-
lated Amine's sufferings and cruel
death; and now once more we bring
Philip Vanderdecken on the scene. And
during this time, where has he been ?
A lunatic-at one time frantic, chained.
coerced with blows: at others, mild and
peaceable. Reason occasionally ap-
peared to burst out again, as the sun
on a cloudy day; and then 1t was again
obscured. For many years there was
n who watched him carefully. and
lived In hopes to witness his return to
a sane mind; he watched in sorrow and
remorse--he died without his desires
being gratified. This was Father Ma
thias!
The cottage at Terneuse had long
fallen into ruins; for many years it
waited the return of its owners, and at
last the heirs at law claimed and re-
covered the substance OF Philip Van
derdecken. Even the fate OF Anime
had passed from the recollection OF
most people.
But many, many years have rolled
away-Philip's hair is white-his once
powerful frame is broken down-and
he appears much older than he really
Is. He is o sane; but his yigor Is
gone. Weary Of life. all he wishes for
is to execute his m~ission--and then TO
welcome death.
The relic has ever been taken from
him; he has been discharged from the
lunatic asylum. and has been provided
with the means of returning to his
country. Alas! he has now no conn
try-no home-nothing in the world
to induce him to remain In 1t. All he
asks is. to do his duty and to die.
The ship was ready to sail for Eu-
rope, and Philip Vanderdecken went on
Hoard-hardly caring whittier he went.
To return to Terneuse was not his OBJ
1ect; he could not bear the idea of Wis
iting the seem of so much happiness
and SO much misery. Amine's form
was engraven on his heart, and he
looked forward with Impotence to the
time when he should be summoned to
Join her In the land of spirits.
"When, oh when is 1t to be accom-
plished?" was the constant subject OF
his reveries. BLESSED indeed will be
the day when ! leave this world OF hate
and seek that other In which the weary
are at rest"
The vessel on board OF which Philip
was embarked as a passenger was the
Nostra Sonora da Monte. a brig OF
three hundred tons, bound for Lisbon.
The captain was an old Portuguese,
full OF superstition and fond of arrsck
"a fondness rather unusual with peo-
pie OF his nation. They sailed from
Goa and Philip was standing abaft and
sadly contemplating the spire of the
cathedral. In which he had last parted
with his wife. when his elbow was
touched, and he turned around.

absence and the troubled look In his
eyes was intensified.

head and bathed his face, he said.
gratefully:

melancholy In Tone.
Philippine music is becoming popu-
lar. Returning voyagers to the far
distant islands have introduced 1t here.
Like the Hawaiian, 1t Is distinctive,
and characteristic OF the national life
Of the people, though without doubt
an adaptation of the sweet and mel
ancholy music of the S%paniards. Flute,
violin and harp are the favorite instru-
ments, as In the Italian, but 1t is not
like the animated music of Italy. The
liveliest strains OF the Filipinos are
pathetic and melancholy In tone. SO,
too, are the titles of most of their
musical compositions, as, for instance,
Los Dias Ultimas del Verano" C"The
Last Days Of Summer"). THE Wall
OF a Lost Soul" THE Approach OF Au-
tumn." The harp twangs softly. the
violin bow is gently drawn, while
above all floats the wall Of a flute,
which rises and falls in melancholy
cadences. This music speaks as elo-
quently to the foreigner as to the ma
tive. "The Approach of Autumn" IL
so plaintive and sad that you can al
most hear the rustic OF the forest
leaves, OF the sighing OF autumn
zephyrs through the pine trees.

About half an hour afterward two
men dressed in black gowns came in

II would follow them, or that force

one was subsequently tried and con-
demned to be burned at the stake as a
sorceress. Subsequently she was ex-
ecuted according to sentence.
we must again return to Philip and
hrantz. When the latter retired from
the presence OF the Portuguese COM
mandant. he communicated to Philip
what had taken place, and the fabulous
tale which he had invented to deceive
the commandant, by a story of buried
treasure they had invented. II said
that o alone knew where the treas
ure was concealed" continued Krantz,
that o might be sent for, for in all
probability he will keep me as a host
age; but never mind that, l must take
my chance. Do you contrive to escape
somehow and ~ejoin Anime"
They concocted a story OF buried
treasure on a distant island. and
through the soldier, Pedro, readily got
the consent Of the commandment to ac-
company them. Pedro, Schrieften and
other soldiers connected with the fort
accompanied them In the vessels. None
OF these bore the commandant good
will.
The party arrived under the tree
the shovels soon removed the light
sand, and in a few minutes the treas
ure was exposed to view. Bag after
bag was handed up and the loose dol
lars collected into heaps. Two OF the
soldiers had been sent to the vessels
for sacks to put the loose dollars in,
and the men had desisted from their
labor; they laid aside their SPADES,
looks were exchanged. and all were
ready.
The commandant turned round to
call to n hasten the movements of
the men who had been sent for the
sacks, when three or four knives sim
ultaneously pierced him through the
back; he fell. and was ex~postulating,
when they were again buried in his
bosom. and he lay a corpse. Philip
and krantz remained silent spectators;
the knives were drawn out, wiped and
replaced in their sheaths. The party
then set sail for home.
