GAMBLER AND GENTLEMAN.

honest gambler.
"Corwin, when I met him, was a

was simply, Gentlemen | am a gamb-

you care to have me play with you it
will give me great pleasure. If you
don't it doesn't make particle of diff

of everyone else except a young man
about 25 years old. This player was in

came evident that he was playing be-

noticed it, for he ceased to bet heavily
against the younger man. This angered
the other.
There was a pot of $500 once, and
everyone had dropped out except the
young man. Corwin had been playing
his hand like a wonderful automaton,
passionless but sure. No man except
his opponent, perhaps, could doubt that
he held the winning hand. Suddenly
when his rival bet $50 Corwin laid
down his hand, saying I have nothing

you!"
For six days and nights Gracinda
obeyed the knight, and on the seventh
day she did likewise; but on the sew
enlh night she grew so drOwsy that Tor
one instant she slept And in that in
suanC the Tangari took the knight
away.
Then the princess wept and lament
ed. She would not eat food or touch
water to her lips, and day and night
she mourned, and sought her lost one.
Suddenly, one night, she heard his
voice from the mountain-top. She ran
onward to meet him, but now the voice
came from the river. Searching there
she at last found him, carrying water
in a great vessel and bemoaning his
fate.
When he saw her he cried out to her:
"Ah, my princess, how glad 1 am to
see thee once more. See my sorry
plight"
What are you doing, my knight"
she cried.
Alas, l am compelled to draw water
for the Tangari, and my task is an
everlasting one, unless you can release

Alas! What can do? Tell me,
that l may hasten to obey"
Then the Bird-Knight told her to
build him another cage, like the one
he had before, and after putting into
the work all good and noble thought of
him, and dedicating it to his soul, he
would be able to return TO her.
So the princess built a new cage of
pure, gold, and placed in it twelve prec-
ious gems. And when it was finished
she dedicated it to the soul of the bird
n an, and fastening open the door, she
waited and watched for seven days and
nights
And at the end Of her watch, the Tan
gari were forced TO release him, and he

But having lived in Tangari land, he
was so highly gifted that he could be

when he became a snow-white bird.
And SO, do you believe that he and
tNa princess were sorry for all their
sufferings and trials, when, in the end,
they attained this great power?-Phil-

1t is now said that there are no less
than 10000 Filipinos at Malolos and
that they have in their possession
nearly fifty maxim guns. The military
efficiency of many of these corps es-
pousing the cause of Aguinaldo is sig
nificantly shown by the fact that a few
weeks ago, when the Caloocan and Geg-
alangin Filipinos mistook the salutes
exchanged between British and Ger
man warships for the beginning Of
actual hostilities, they Immediately
moved 5000 fighting men to the front
in order of battle, covering the country
along the American lines, and show
ing themselves not unprepared for
trouble.

there are no less than SO separate and
distinct tribes of people in the Phil
ippines each with its own dialect, Gus
toms and methods of warfare. The

to be some very interesting events take

ger of peace once more broods over the
long distraught Philippines.
At one time it was thought that the
Filipinos were little more than a band
of unframed cannibals and barbarians
armed with the primitive bolo and in
capable of anything approaching mill
tary discipline and organization. 1t is
true that Aguinaldo does claim among
his numerous and greatly diversified

has also been seen that among the in

BLISS OF AN ArTER-DINNER CIGAR.


Oh tits we'll enough,
Whit or a pun
From the heart OF a pipe to get;
And a dainty maid
Or a budding blade
May toy with the cigaret;
But a man when tho time
OF q glorious primo
DawnS forth like a morning star,
Wants the dark brown bloom
And the sweet perfume
That goes with good cigar
To lazily float
In a painted boat
On the shlmmering morning sea,
Or to flrt with maid
In the afternoon shade
Seems good enough sport to be;
But the evening hour
With its subtle power
Is sweeter and better far,
II Joined to the Joy
Devoid of alloy
That turks in a good cigar.
When a blanket wet
Is solidly set
DER hopes prematurely grown;
When ambition is tame
And energy lame
And the bloom from tho fruit is blown;
When to dance and dine
With women and wine
Past poyerty's pleasures are,
mans not bereft
OF all peace. II there's left
The Joy OF a good cigar.

"Nay. I cannot join you until
return to my father the lamb from the
royal focks."
And with these words she was forced
to fly, for there came so hot blast Of
fire that streams and rivulets disap-
peared and the silver room was lost
forever as were the golden and the
blood-red halls.
And then she reached the white
chamber, where ell her fears subsidized
as the exquisite music greeted her ears.
Approaching the beautiful bird in its
golden cage, she pleaded in softest
tones:
"Oh, white bird of the Golden Gage,
tell me where to find the lost l&mbhn
of the royal flock"
Maiden princess, fair as the pearled
dawn, l can tell thee, but only if thou
wilt consent to be my wife"
Let it be as thou wilt. The lamb
must be returned, though I myself am
lost to them
so be it, then, Gracinda. The flock
is already restored to the royal pal
ace
And so the princess was Welded in
the white room, and passed her days in
the presence of all its beauty.
But one day a great fair was given,
to which the highest were invited.
Gracinda went, and in the contests she
was first among the women; and there
rode in a strange knight who was first
among men.
For twelve days this happened, and
the thirteenth day was to be the last.
An old woman came to Gracinda and
said:
You have been called first of wo-
men in all the land. Know that the
strange knight, who is first of men,
is your husband. Go home and, to-
morrow after you leave, watch for him
to come out OF the Snow Hall. Then
! do you go back and burn his cage, and
thenceforth will he be as a man for
ever"
Gracinda was delighted to hear this,
never thinking evil, and the next day
she did just what she had been told.
But what was her dismay when the
knight returned at the end of the con-
test, and cried out, on seeing his cage
burned:
"Ah! Woe is me, woe is me! Ora
cinda, you have destroyed me. For
that cage was my soul, and now the
Tangari will take me away from you
ooh, my knight, tell me how to save
you" the princess now cried in dis
may.
There is but one way. For seven
days and night must you stand by this
door, and make clatter with my

Even. before the fall OF Manila it was
vaguely felt by Americans in general
and by the authorities at Washington
in particular, that sooner or later there
would be trouble with the insurgent
natives. Events which have taken
place since that time have confirmed
these suspicious with unpleasant vivid
ness, and now Uncle Sam finds himself
with no insignificant problem on his
hands. Whatever may be the ultimate
solution of that problem there are sure

and quarters ride from Manila. The
accompanying illustration is from a
photograph taken during Aguinaldo's
triumphal entry into that town on the
10Th of last September. His attitude
for bluffmaking is somewhat ridicu-
lousy shown by the appearance of his
triumphal car, on which stands a
comely young native woman, repre-
senting Liberty, bearing the flag of the
Filipinos.
