in her eyes as she sprang into her carriage
again, but they they were tears OF anger
and defeat. She dashed them away the very
next instant and smiled Joy and congratula-
tion, even adulation, at sight OF the tall
stalwart officer, his arm in sling, who stood
the center Of a staring group as her carriage
faehed by. She would have ordered stop,
but while the rest Of the party had gazed as
they lifted their caps, Armstrong; uninjured
hand performed it's duty, his cap had been
lifted with the others. but not so much az
a glance went her way, and Margaret Gar
rison, bitter in spirit, drove on down past
the old cuartel to her luxurious quarters,
where Nita, piteous shadow of the sweet
girl graduate of the year before, was await
ing her coming. With the insurgents re-
treat and the advance Of the American lines
there had been gradual return Of the
refugees among the transports and Frost had
finally brought his birding back to shore.
but Nita dared not drive, she said. for fear
OF again seeing these stern, reproachful
eyes. The guard at the gate had received
orders to admit no more of the rank and
file, even when they came as messengers, and
so the child was safe, said Margaret. AS for

CHATTER NNIII.

The long wait for the coming OF the big
transports with the regulars was over. For
the first time in history America was sending
her soldiery past the pyramids and through
the Indian sea, landing them after forty
days and nights of voyaglng, upon the low,
fiat shores that hem Manila bay, and showing
them out to the hostile front before their
sea-legs could reach the swing and stride OF
the marching step, yet, to all appearance,
as unconcernedly at home as though they
had been campaigning in the Philippines
since the date OF their enlistment This, to
be sure, in the case Of more than half their
number. would have given them scant time
in which to look about them, since raw re-
cruits were more numerous than seasoned
men. But no matter what may be his lack
OF drill or preparation. the average Anglo
Saxon never seems to know the time when
he doesn't know how to fight So, with all
the easy assurance OF a veteran, our Yankee
''Tommies'' wriggled into their blanket rolls
and trudged away to the posts assigned
them, and once more the army assumed the
aggressive.

time sole support. The sentry was relieved
of his surveillance, and Corporal Norton
transferred to Corregidor to recuperate,
and now that both lads were we'll on the road
to recovery Drayton had sent for them.
Strictly speaking. some one should have seen
to it that Corporal Norton of the volunteers
was shifted back to Private Norton of the
-teenth, and the chevrons stripped from his
sleeves; but no one had cared to interfere
where the worsted was concerned, especially
as the boy had won such praise for bravery
at Concordia bridge. So there the chevrons
stood when the two were ushered into the
presence Of the gray-haired chief; and he
arose, and stepping forward, held out hand
to each.
81 want you boys" said he, ''to be ready
to take the next transport home. The doc
tors say you need a sea voyage, Gray; go
there is the order. The doctors say your
father needs you. Prime, and the record will
be duly Strengthened out in Washington
the charge of desertion, no doubt, will be
removed. It's a matter OF influence. To-
night you dine with me here, and I have
asked your good friend, Colonel Armstrong,
to come"
Again the blood rose guiltiy to Billy's
cheek. Not yet had he made his peace with
his conscience, and that valued counselor and
lTOlu whose BOOu STaCeb ne
seemed to have fallen entirely Not once
had opportunity been afforded in which to
speak and open his heart to him. AS for
writing, that seemed impossible. Billy could
handle almost any implement better than a
pen. But even in the few minutes left him
In which to think he knew that now at least
he must face the music" like the man his
father would have him be- even though IL
took more nerve than did that perilous dash
ON the Tagal works that Sunday morning.
Billy would rather do that twice over than
have to face Armstrong; stern, searching
eyes. and hear again the cold, almost con-
| temptuous tone in which the colonel said to
] him the day the doctor led his yanquished
and hysterical charmer from the room:
Don't try to thank, man. try to think what
you risk-what you deserve to lose--for put
ting yourself in the power of such woman"

archly for the benefit Of the attendant, but
her eyes again eagerly claimed look from
his, her lips framed the word tomorrow"
But neither on that morrow nor yet the
next day came her opportunity. The gallant
fellow who had lain there for days, dumb
and patient, but barrier to her plans, had
taken a turn for the worse. and she was
again denied admission Then came the
tldings that tho barrier was removed, the
long fight was over, and the heartless woman
actually rejoiced. Now, at last, she could
talk to Will Gray, and when midnight came
she knew that now, at last, she must, for
Frank Garrison, worn and weary, returning
late from the front, briefly announced that
General Drayton purposed visiting the hos
pital the following afternoon, and long be-
fore noon-long before visiting hours. in
fact-she was there. with flowers as win
some as her smile, and some jelly as dainty
as her own fair hands. She was there, and
the instant the hour sounded was ushered
in, and Billy Gray, propped on his pillows,
was writing to his father, and alone. No
time was to be lost. Any moment the at
tendant might return. She threw herself on
her knees beside the homely, narrow cot,
seized his hand in hers and looked him in the
face where are they, WHIP" she pleaded.
"Quick! / must have them now!" But well
she realized that the spell was broken-that
the old fascination had died its death. Then
1t was useless to hint at love, and in tor
rent of impassioned words she bade him
think of all he owed her, appealed to his
sense OF gratitude and honor, and there, too,
failed, for, admitting all she claimed, he
clumsily. haltingly, yet honestly, told her he
saw now that it was all for an object all
done in the hope that he might become her
instrument for the recovery OF those COM
promising letters, and now that fate had de-
p, livered them into his hands he was bound
by honor and his promise-unheard. un-
spoken, perhaps, but all the same his prom
ise-to the dead to give them to General

Then rising in fury and denuncia-
tion, she played her last trump. Trembling
from head to foot, pale with baffled purpose
and with growing dread. she bent over him
both hands clinched.

uniforms landed from the hospital launch
on the back trip from Corregidor one warm
March day. One wore the badge of suba-
tern Of the -teenth Regulars, the other the
chevrons OF a corporal and the hatband OF
a famous fighting regiment OF volunteers;
yet the same carriage bore them swiftly
through the sentineled streets OF the walled
city and the guards at the Ayuntamiento
sprang to their arms and formed ranks at
sight Of it, then dispersed at the Iow-toned
order Of it's commander when it was seen
that, instead Of stopping at the curb and
discharging an elderly general officer, it
whirled straight by and held two youths in
field uniform.
"One OF ems young Gray, of the -teenth;
he that was hit in the charge on the
Pasay road" said the officer of
the guard to a comrade "But who
the DEVILS the other? He had cor
porals chevrons on. Some fellow Just got
commission, perhaps" And that was the
only way the soldier could account for a
corporal riding with commissioned officer
in generals carriage. They had long
whirl ahead Of them, these two, and the
corporal told Gray, as he already had the
general and Colonel Armstrong, much of
the story of his friendship for Pat" La
trobe, OF that poor fellows illness at San
friend and chum. There was a strong bond
between them, he explained, and the blush Of
shame that stole up in the face of the mar
| rator found instant answer In that of Billy
| Gray. Determined to see service at the
| front and not return to punishment In his
| regiment, never dreaming that in quitting a
| corps doomed, apparently, to inaction at
home and Joining one going straight to the
| enemys country he was committing the
| grave crime OF desertion, Gov" Prime had
| spoken to some men in Stewards regiment
and was bidden to come along and fetch his
friend. for they were Just as ignorant as he.
Having still considerable money, Gov" had
| bought civilian clothes and all the supplies
| they needed while about town and hired a
boat that rowed them, with certain items
contraband OF war, to the dark side of the
transport as nghtfall came, and they were
easily smuggled aboard and into uniforms,
and then. during the few days stay at Homo
| lulu, were formally enlisted and no embar-
RAISING questions asked.
And now poor Pat was gone and Prime s
father had been cabling for him to return
| home; but there was that awkward mater
| about the desertion. General Drayton was
trying to have 1t Strengthened out at Wash
| ington; for he had been kindness itself the
day Of his visit to the hospital. where almost
his first act had been to seek out the
wounded young soldier who had been his be

credulous face; and then, with an awful fear
checking the beat Of her heart and turning
her veins to ice, she grasped at the nimsy
framework that supported the netting over
the cot and stood swaying and staggering,
her eyes fixed in terror on the man in the
uniform OF colonel, who, quietly entering,
stood between her and the door, two papers
in his half extended hand-a man whose
voice, long and too well known, cut her to
the very quick as she heard, in calm and
measured tone, the words:
Mrs. Garrison here are two reasons why
you will do nothing of the kind. Shall l
hand these to General Drayton-or to your
husband?"

A Matter of SOliCitude to Many
Millions of People.
EIGHTY.NINE YEARS OF AGE, YET VIGOROUS
GOLD MEDAL CONFERRED.

Emperors, princes, physiciana and prelatet
have sounded the keynote OF praise in graft
tude for benefits obtained. 1t has been
chorus OF thanksgiving and appreciation.
and now, as a crowning Testimonial. comes
the message Of gratitude from his holiness
the pope, who. having used Vim Mariani,
found it sustaining and health giving. Not
satisfied with merely expressing thanks to
Monsieur Mariani. as will be seen from the
above letter, his holiness has been pleased
to graciously confer a most beautiful gold
medal upon the scientific producer OF the
health" giving Vim Mariani.
What a charm there Is in the name Vim
Mariani! For three decades II has brought
health and happiness to cottager and king.
Her majesty, the empress OF Russia takes
1t regularly as tonic, and the London
Court Journal is authority for the statement
that the princess of Wales uses 1t with best
results.
Health is certainly the desire OF all Gre
alton. To the thousands who have lost It
or never known it's delights, a tonic that
will rejuvenate the spirit and invigorate the
, body is indeed boon Of incalculable value.
Vim Marian brings cheerfulness to the
morbid and depressed 1t strengthens tho
weary; calms the nerves when overwrought
by undue excitement-in fact. It makes life
worth the living, and is aptly termed by the
illustrious writer's, Victorien Sardou, Alex
andre Dumas and Jules Verne,'' THE Pro-
moter OF Health" elixir of Life." "A Veri-
table Fountain OF Youth" Never has any
thing received such uniformly high praise
and recognition from eminent authorities.
Those readers who are not familiar with
the workings and the worth of Vim Msriani
, should write to Mariani e. Co b2 weat
18th street, New York, and they will re-
| ceive, free Of all charge. a beautiful little
album containing portraits OF emperors. en-
press, princess. cardinals, archbiShops and
other distinguished personsges who use and
| recommend this marvellous wine, together
with explicit and interesting details on the
| subject This little album is we'll worth
| writing for; it ls distributed gratuitously,
and will be appreciated by all who receive II.

In view OF the popes continued strength

The message contained in the following let

are bestowed in such gracious manner from

State News Items.

Besides the regular trains there will
be thirty-fou special trains into Mont
pelier on Dewey day. Of this number
twenty six will enter over the Central
Vermont. For the accommodation
Of the immense crowd which will come
from all sections of the state the
Central Vermont will construct twelve
tracks on the Langdon meadow and
will enclose the whole with a fence
twelve feet high with gates at each
end of the track.
The canning factories at Windsor,
Westminister and Brattleboro take
the bulk of the corn grown in their
sections. At Westminster about
100000 pint cans will be filled with
excellent corn this season, and the
demand exceeds the supply. A bushel
basket of corn is taken from load,
husked and weighed, and the shrink
age of the load is thus averaged. The
average price per acre is about ,$32, or
S12 ton after it is husked. This
years crop is below the average. The
husks are used in silos and are said to
be superior to the husks Of ordinary
corn, the product for canning being
entirely sweet corn. The corn can
ming season lasts about five weeks,
during which more than a hundred
hands are employed, the huskers re-
ceiving four cents a bushel. The
average number of bushels which a
person can husk is about thirty,
though some can husk nearly twice
that number.

BIG rood FAIR OPEN.

The Boston Food Fair opened it's
doors to the public on Monday. New
er before has the big exposition build
ing presented SO brilliant an appear
ance, with it's wealth of beautiful
booths, artistic decorations, and clev-
erly devised display of up to date
food products. Many of the spaces
have been fitted up with almost orr
entail splendor. Indeed, the great
halls. as viewed from the balconies,
suggests scene from falryland, the
effect being heightened by myriads
Of electric lights. 1t would seem, too,
as if the exhibitors had this year Sc
lected the prettiest girls in New Eng
land to preside over their respective
booths. At all events, the '99 Food
Fair starts off under auspices so bright
as to give promise of grand success.
The musical features this year far
surpasses those of any previous exhi-
bition in this famous series. including
such celebrated bands as Sousa's,
Godfrey's, Reeves, Salem Cadet and
other well-known organizations.
The portion Of the exhibition ap-
pealing most strongly to women is
the Domestic Science Department,
over which Miss Nellie Dot Rancho of
Chicago, has been called to preside.
At Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Omaha, Cincinnati and New Orleans,
Miss Rancho hiss achieved marked
successes, lecturing, demon strating
and assisting women in the higher
branches of household economics.

OCTOBER ~ is The DATE OF THE
GREAT CELEBRATION AT
MONTPELIER.

Col. George w. Hooker of Brattle-
boro, chairman of the Dewey celebra-
ton committee, has issued notice
in which he says that Dewey day in
| Mo ntpelier, October IL, will be one
Of the great events in the history of
Vermont The celebration promises
! to surpass in the numbers present
any previous gathering the state has
I ever had. The occasion will undoubt-
eddy be one worthy of the great hero
Vermont gave to the country and no
welcome he has received will be SO
hearty and sincere as that to be ac-
corded him among the green hills of
Vermont. New York's magnificent
demonstration cannot be reproduced
at the capital, but the great tribute
paid him here should inspire every
Vermonter to unite in the public well
come to his native state.
The reception will be for the peo-
pie and by the people. Admiral Dew
eY will be the central figure. He will
ride alone in a carriage, which will be
the only one in the procession. At
the state house reviewing stand he
will be received by Gov. Smith and
review the parade. Standing in front
of the porch of the Capitol, danked
on either side by the cannon captured
by him in the battle Of Manila Bay,
Admiral Dewey can be seen by $4,000
people. In conformity to the wishes
of the people of Vermont the state
and Montpelier committees appointed
for the celebration have outlined "a
program for Dewey day which was
completed by sub committees at
Montpelier on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
A state reception committee'of sew
eral hundred representative Vernon
tiers have been appointed, and sixty
mounted, will lead the pro-
cession. There will be twenty-five
or more bands in line Among the
to be in the parade are
these: The Norwich University cadets,
acting as escort to Admiral Dewey,
the First Regiment Vermont National
G uard, the University of Vermont |
battalion, the Vermont Academy bat
talon, the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the Loyal Legion, the Sons of Vet |
Grams, the Knights of Pythias, the |
Militant and the Catholic |
Order of Foresters.
The display of fireworks in the early |
evening will surpass anything of the
Kind ever. before seen in Vermont.
The railroads have made low rates to
and provided ample ter
minal facilities there.

The Food Fair of 1899 has Inaugural
ted REFORM as it may rightly be
termed, which will be welcomed by
the throngs of visitors from other
cities and towns. This is the matter
of the Restaurant, and embraces the
three essentials-good food, prompt
servicekand reasonable charges. At
some previous exhibitions given in
Mechanics Building it has been said
that cit costs more to get one square
meal than to visit the show four
times" and this disproportinate scale
of prices has had the effect of driving
many visitors out of the building for
their meals.
