Manila, Feb. 2s.--Two Spanish COM

our lines and confer with Aguinaldo
with reference to the Spanish prison
ers at Malolos, returned through our
lines Monday morning, near Caloocan,

Aguinaldo and Sanduiko were both at
Malolos and inclined 10 pacific over

prepared to surrender the Spanish
prisoners, they will gladly release two
Americans who have been held for six
weeks, on the payment of $50, the value

Her Parting Thrust.

N the course of call at very jolly
place the other afternoon a girl was
inspired to relate a good story. 1t met
with such success that she was in
spired to tell another, and yet another,
all the other callers keeping up their
appreciation-all the other callers but
one, that is to say. The exception was
a woman who looked as though she
hoped her rightly would be mistaken
for hauteur, and who was evidently of
very conservative notions. With Wis
age grim and never smile did she
listen to the young woman's anec-
dotes, until it flashed through the lat
ter's mind that she had somewhere
heard that among the antediluvian
races 1t wasn't considered good form
for a woman to tell good stories. At
last this woman rose to go. To every
body but the girl she bowed and said:
VERY glad to have met you" To the
girl she observed, and in precisely the
tone she would have complimented

joyed your stories so much. New

"Yes!"

enemies to the Portuguese, and so are
we. We belong to the island OF Ter

"They are all dead" replied Philip.

1--WE have heard that a woman was
picked up on the beach to the south
ward, and carried away by the Tidore
people to the Portuguese settlement on
the supposition that she was Portu-
guese."
Then God be thanked, she is saved -
cried Philip. "Merciful Heaven! accept
my thanks. To Tidore you said?'
Eyes; we are at war with the Por-
tuguese, we cannot take you there.
NO! but we shall meet again"
The person who accosted them was
evidently Of consequence. His dress
was, to a certain degree, Mohammedan,
but mixed up with Malay; he carried
arms in his girdle and spear in his
hand; his turban was of printed
clintz; and his department, like most
persons Of rank in that country, was
courteous and dignified.
1--WE are now returning to Ternate,
and will take you with us. Our king
will be pleased to receive any :
landers, especially as you are enemies
to the Portuguese dogs. I forgot to
tell you that we have one Of your
companions with us in the boat; we
picked him up at sea much exhausted,
but he is now doing well"

"Then believe your eyes" replied
Philip, pointing to the form Of Schrif-

them.

saved. He! he!"
"The ocean has then, indeed, given

Philip.
In the meantime Schriften, without
making any reference to the way in
which they had so unceremoniously
parted company, addressed Krantz
with apparent good humor and some
slight tinge of sarcasm.
What do you think Of him,
Krantz?"
THAT he is a part of the whole, and
has his destiny to fulfill as we'll as
you. He has his part to play in this
wondrous mystery, and will remain
until it is finished. Think not Of him.

OUR CELEBRATION.

The birds have been practicing glees,
but today
They gave up their concert and flew
away;
And the locusts and grasshoppers,
noisy and shrill
Could not make themselves heard land
so they kept still;
And the clustering wind went off in a
huff,
Since nobody noticed how loud he
could puff.
And the clouds rolled up from the west
in row,
For they thought that the noise in the
world below
Was the voice of the thunder to call
them together,
And so they began to make showery
weather.
And the Man in the Moon, being great
ly perplexed
To know whatever would happen next.
Wished for hands or feet, as we'll as
a face,
To cover his ears up, or run from his
place.
And the baby stars opened their bright
little eyes,
And stared down below with the great
est surprise
To see how the rockets shot up in the
sky
But they never guessed out
What it all was about,
That we were just keeping the Fourth
of July.

AID the faster went, the harder they
popped. Then all at once l saw what
to do, and l pulled off my jacket and
threw it on the grass. Luckily it was
my jacket, and not my trouser-pocket!
Billy took it up and shook out the
crackers, and then he turned out the
pocket, but there wasn't much left to
turn. 1t was just black rag, and 1t
dropped into little pieces. Then there
was a big piece that looked as If it had
once been white, and that, they said,
was my handkerchief, but 1 should
never have known it.
Well, of course they all laughed at
me a good deal, but l didn't mind
much, for it really was very funny, l
suppose; but my advice to other boys
is: Don't carry crackers in your peck

HIrsute Statistics.

Blonde hair is finer than that of any
other color. By actual count it has
been ascertained that 400 hairs to the
square inch grow upon the head of a
blonde beauty. The brown comes next
with $50, then comes the black with
1926. and the red with $50 or 26O. After
counting the hairs growing on an inch
square it has been estimated that on
the head of a blonde there will be
about 149, 900 hairs, while brown suit
of tresses will have 100000, black
1O2, 900, and red 10000.

Teach Your Children to Play Alone.

Teach Your Children 60 Play Alone.
1 believe that every child should be
encouraged, if not required, to play
alone during some part of the day.
Any close observer of children will
note an unexplained tendency to silli-
mes when a number of them are at
play together. There are likewise dan
gers in an oversupply Of adult society.
Children are more influenced by in

CHAPTER xxx.

AS every one descants upon the want
Of comfort in a prison, it is to be pre-
sumed that there are no very COMFORT
able ones. Certainly that to which
Philip and KrantZ were ushered mad
ANYTHING rather than the air OF an
agreeable residence. 1t was under the
fort, with very small aperture look
irg toward the sea for light and air.
II was very hot, and moreover desti-
tute of all those little conveniences
which add so much to ones happiness
in modern houses and hotels. In fact,
II consisted of four bare walls and a
stone floor, and that was all.
For three weeks they remained In
the fort, every day becoming more in
innate with the commandant, who
often communicated with Krantz, when
Philip was not present, turning the
conversation upon his love for Anime
and entering into a minute detail OF
all that had passed. Krantz perceived
that he was right in his opinion, and
that Anime had only been cajoling the
commandant that she might escape.
But the time passed heavily away with
Philip and Krantz, for no vessel made
its appearance.

When Anime again came to her
senses she found herself lying on the
leaves of the palmetto in a small hut.

She was taken to the Portuguese
fort and turned over to the command

dead. She sailed for Goa unexpectedly

We must now again return to Philip
and Krantz, who had a long CONVEX
sation upon the strange temperance
of Schriften. All that they could agree
upon was that he should be carefully
watched, and that they dispense with
his company as soon as possible.
Krantz had Intercepted him as to his
escape, and Schriften had informed
him, in his usual sneering manner, that
one of the sweeps of the raft had been
allowed to get adrift during the scuf-
lie, and that he had floated on it until
ne had gained a small island; that on
seeing the peroqua, he had once more
launched it, and supported himself by
it, until he was perceived and picked
up. AS there was nothing impossible,
although much Of the improbable, in
this account, Krantz asked no more
questions. The next morning, the wind
having abated, they launched the pc
roqua, and made sail for the island
of Ternatp.
1t was four days before they arrived,
as every night they landed and hauled
up their craft on the sandy beach.
Philips heart was relieved at the
knowledge of Amine's safety, and he
could have been happy at the prospect
Of again meeting her had he not been
so constantly fretted by the company
of Schriften.
AS soon as they arrived at the prin-
cipal port and town OF Ternate. they
were conducted to a large cabin, built
of palmetto leaves and bamboo, and
requested not to leave it until their ar
rival had been announced to the king.
The peculiar courtesy and good
breeding of these islanders was the
constant theme of remark Of Philip
