1t was nigh seven of the clock before
the senorita appeared. She had slept
some, it seemed, though brokenly, and
was many times awake. She looked a
| little worn, which was not surprising,
seeing what she mad been through, but
was in moderately good spirits, and
this was even better than had feared,
| having in mind her state the night be-

Mac Ivrach threw off his coat and be-

and a little bag of grapes. For drink

down fiercely and making an almost
intolerable glare upon the water, and
in this wise it drew on to noon. At a

and to this the senorita came, driven

scarce anything, and when I would

A poor woman who kept small shop
in an English village and who was
troubled with husband who could
scarcely be considered a credit to the
family one day found herself widow
through the sudden demise of her
spouse. \ lady who frequently made
small purchases at the shop called to
see her and to offer her sympathy,
though well knowing that the mans
death must in certain sense come as
a relief, as the wife had often suffered
from his violence. She was not. how
ever, quite prepared for the stoical
way in which the wife took her be-
reavement. Said the lady: Il am sure,
Mrs. C, you must miss your hus-
band" "Well, mum, it do seem queer
to go into the shop and find some thing
in the till. ."--Chicago Times-Herald.

nirlhInya.

Few of us are happy to have our
birthdays come quite as often as they
do. For, whether we acknowledge the
fact or not, we none of us want to grow
old. 1t is good to be young, and while
we are not ashamed of our age, we feel
that each year brings us nearer that
point when we shall be no longer
young. And we do not want to be
laid aside, to be put out of the bright,
happy, active life. So we do not well
come our birthdays. But, since they
must come, we like other people to re-
member them pleasantly, and the
whole day is gladdened by congratu-
latory letter or by a little present
which shows that some one is glad we
were born, and hopes that we will live
many, many years yet. And because
these little remembrances do give hap
piness we should try to pay especial
heed to the birthdays of others. 1t
takes only a few minutes to write the
loving lines that our friend will re-
ceive 1T his breakfast table on his
birthday morning. But these few lines
may turn the current of his thoughts
into happy direction and make him
forget that he is growing old in the rec
election that he is loved.-Harper'

This was indeed evident, as / saw
by another glance.
We'll, we can watch her for a bit

abatement of his soberness. "At least
we can be sure whether she is full on
our course"
We let fall the talk accordingly. and
all stood up, with our eyes on the com
ing sail.
''She is at least bound straight for

they have made us out. My suspicious

81 think you are right" I said, re-
luctantly, "and since But what is
this?" 1 broke off abruptly. "By
heavens!"
I cried out in this fashion because
the mainsheet which l had all the
time held with turn round my hand,
of n sudden grew slack, and on looking
back l found the sail waving and fall
ing into folds. In our close watch of
the ship we had neglected the wind,
which had first slowly declined and
now was evidently on the point of
failing altogether.
Ny companion instantly caught my
meaning.
"Aye, that changes matters" said
Sellinger, with "a kindling eye. "See,
the ship begins to lag already"
"There is hope" said Mr.. Tym, calm
ly. "She will have to send boat, and
that, if we cannot run away from, we
can fight"
II think we should do BOTH" said
Sellinger, with one more look. "The
ship we want to leave as far behind as
we can, and the other will come when
we are overtaken. Let us lower the
sail and get out the sweeps"
He helped carry out his own sugges-
ton, and the gaff was quickly down on
the boom and he and Mac Ivrach seat
ed at the oars.
"Starboard! We will lay for the
coast" he called to me.
"Starboard it is, sir!" cried, heart
iiy, and almost cheerfully.
Look again at the ship" said Mr.
Tym, who was now standing just by
me watching her. "My eyes are not
quite what they were once, and the
light is a bit unfavorabe. Does she
not begin to luif? Aye, her head rides
round"

"Then," said Mr.. Tym, composedly,
''we may as well consider all doubts
settled. Yon ship is what we sup
posed"
Despite my resolution and late re-
newal Of hope, I could not help little
sinking of the spirits at these words.
The boat must, of course, catch us,
and how could we hope to contend

CHAPTER XVIu.-CoNTINUED.

Mr.. lynn was not for halting, and led
us boldly to the main gate. The pos
tern, as | might say here, was the
more obscure and the guard smaller,
but it was the farther removed, and
again we must pass the wings of the

lodging in and out Finally, this gate
gave upon the edge of the plateau, be-
low which was the bold, exposed beach.
The main gate, on the other hand, let
us at once upon a considerable street
and this was crossed by other streets
and was darkened in many places by
trees. Mr.. lynn thus proved his wis
dom by preferring the chief gate, and
in brief, all went well, for we passed
safely out | was now 70 thinking the
danger as good as over, and drew a
great breath of relief, and spoke a
word of cheer to the Senorita. Mr..
Tym, however. looked pretty sharply
back. and without stopping set us "a
quicker pace and drew on to the turn
Of the first alley. l glanced down the
street, seeing no cause for apprehen-
sion, and thence fetched a look out
upon the dusky, yet starlit bay, and
still conceived that our troubles were
nigh over. This alley would take us by
a quiet way to the water, whence it
ought to be an easy matter to reach
the jetty and so the boat.
For the reason that this quarter
contained 60 little wealth, we were in
the smaller danger of meeting strag-
Cling parties of our men, and, indeed,

pace little, the which I was heartily

AN OFFICIAL HOLOUp

IN August OF last year, says the Lev
istown Argus, Joseph Hopkins and j. G
Martin, of Cottonwood, brought to
Lewistown and had examined by Depu-
ty State Veterinarian ETilger a band OF
180 horses, which they afterwards drove
to near Devils Lake, n. D, and placed
Oh the market. Mr. Hilger had given
them clean bill Of health, and, as the
governors Of the two states, Montana
and North Dakota, had agreed that
certificates from one state should be
recognized in the other, no trouble was
anticipated from the North Dakota
authorities. But it seems that down at
Devils Lake lives a deputy veterinarian
by the name Of w. f. Crewe, and he i'm
mediately made a demand upon Hop
l1ins and Martin that they pay him 81
per head for examination and IS per
diem besides, a total of S185. The
young men demurred and instead Of
wiring to the authorities here, attempt
ed to stand eff the wouldbe holdup.
But to no avail, and, after they had been
served with papers, they settled as well
as they could, Crewe accepting two
notes, one drawn by Ezra Mirusich for
800 and indorsed by Martin, a note OF
Martin and Hopkins for S45 and the
balance of $50 in cash. By what auth
ority state official accepted notes in
payment and what he did with the
notes or by what authority the payment
of any charge was demanded, is mat
er that is now receiving the attention
of the Montana authorities. Mr.. Hilgel
has taken the affair in hand and the
attention Of Veterinarian Knowles and
Governor Smith las beon given the
matter. 1t seems about 'ha most cold

Costly Message.
Chicago

The whole Of the New Testament as
revised, was telegraphed from New York
to the Chicago Tribune, to be set up as
news for it's issue of the ed of Nav,
1882. Sixteen of the 20 pages of that
days issue of the Tribune were filed by
this telegram alone. A detailed report
of the trial of the murderer, Deeming, in
Australia, consisted of 1900 words, and
the cable was simply blocked to all other
news for over 20 hours-the cost of the
message being about S8,OOO In 1893 a
message of 15,e00 words was dispatched
to the Argetine Republic. In 1890 a
telegram 131 lines long calculated at
eight words to the line was sent from
Buenos Ayres to the Times, London,
and another of 231 lines. In December,
1877, Swinburne's tragedy, "Lorine," !"
was telegrephed from London to the

thing that did not reflect official views of
important events and co editions, has re-
suited in united effort on the part of
correspondents here to secure an abate
ment of the right of censorship. Tne in
itiative in the forming of statement
which was presented on Sunday, July 8,
to Major General Ctis, commanding the
military forces of the United States in
the Philippines with request for per-
mission to cable their papers all the facts
and ffer mt phases of events as they
transpire here.
The correspondents had two long in
terviews with Otis, in the course of
which they claimed that the evident
purpose of the censorship was not too
keep information from the enemy, but to
keep from public knowledge the real
condition of affairs here It was also
asserted by the correspondent that the
newspapers printed in Manila, which
reach the enemy weekly, are permitted
to publish statements similar to those
which the correspondents are forbidden
to cable.
Otis finally promised greater nberality
to pass all matter that he might not con-
slider detrimental to the interests of the
United States. General Ois appointed
Captain Green of his staff, censor. The
statement of the correspondents is as fol-
lows:
"The undersigned being all staff CORE
spondents OF American newspapers sta
toned in Manila unite in the following
statement: I'VE believe that from the
official dispatches made public in Wash
ington the people Of the United States
have not received a correct impression Of
affairs IN the Philippines, but that these
dispatches have presented an ultra-opti-
mistic view that is not shared by the
general officers in the field. We believe
that dispatches incorrectly representing
the existing conditions among the Phil
lppines in respec5 to the dissention and
demoralization resulting from the Ameri-
can campaign ana to the original charac
ter of the army. We believe the dis
patches err in the declaration that the
situation is well in hand, and the as
sumption that the insurrection can be
ended without greatly increased force.
We think the tenacity Of the Filipino
situation has been underestimated and
that statements are unfoun1ed that the
volunteers are unwilling to engage in
further action. The censorship has com.
PEELED us to participate in this misrepre-
sentation by excising or altering uncon-
troVerted statements of facts on the plea,
as General Otis stated, they would alarm
people at home, or 'have the people OF
the United States by the ears. Speci-
fications: Prohibition of reports; sur
preston of full reports of field operations
in the event OF failure; number of heat
prostrations in the field; systematic
minimization of naval operations and the
suppression of complete reports OF the
situation. (Signod) John Z. McCutheon
