always with some army woman whom
she could persuade to go with her.
One day, just before their intended
departure, she drove out paying part

carriage drew up at the Market street
entrance, the nearest to their elevator.
The door boy sprang across the side

stepped wcnrily out tall young man,
erect and slender, dressed in n dark

raised his derby and said: You can

gathering which the police were now

with something suspiciously like tears

eagerly speaking to the veteran officer.
There was a brief colloquy, and then
the colonel said something to the SER
geant at which the crowd set up cheer.
The sergeant looked pleased, the young
soldier most grateful, and away went
the four along the sidewalk, many of
the throng following.
And then the colonel caught sight of
the ladies in the carriage, saw that one
was signaling eagerly, and heard his
name called. fastening to their side.

He tells a perfectly straight story.

desperately ill and out OF money-that
he got doctor for him and had been

But, to ner CONSERVATION, no sooner
had they started than she felt Nita's
trembling hand grasping her wrist, and
turning quickly saw that she was in an
almost hysterical condition.

from the colonel as one morning she

tears when the nurse finally entered,
and the breakfast was left untouched.

a drive with one of her friends, the at

crowd gathering rapidly on the side

Languidly and with something very
like a pout, Mrs. Frost turned her face
again toward the sidewalk, but by this
time the sergeant had linked an arm
in that of the young soldier and had
led him pace or two away, SO that
his back was now toward the carriage.
He was still pleading, and the crowd
had begun to back him up, and was ex-

Frost was cold. selfish. intensely self

for services he considered essential.
When Frost had consuming desire he
let no money consideration stand in the
way. and for Mia rerriss he stood
ready 10 spend a small fortune. Every
body knew Mrs. Frank Garrison could
never dress and adorn herself as she
did on poor Frank Garrison's pay, and
when she appeared with dazzling
necklace and a superb new gown at
the garrison ball not long after Frost
and his shrinking bride left for their
honeymoon, people looked at her and
then at each other. Nita Terriss was

and her shrcwd elder sister was the
dealer. Mrs. Frank knew what people
were thinking and saying just as we'll

faces of her sisters in arms: Il know

LATEST WAR NEWS.

This heading, after appearing for four
months last summer, was put aside with
the hopes that we would not be called
upon to use it again, but we were disap-
pointed. Telegraphic dispatches from
Manila are full of war news. and war is
likely to continue for some time to come.
B ood has been shed and the passions
of the American people are again arous-
ed. Of the ultimate result, no one know
ing the American blood, will have any
doubt But what it will cost only the
future can tell.
On Saturday evening the Insurgents
attacked the outposts of the American
troops outside of Manila. The bom-
bardment lasted all night and until Sum
day afternoon, when the rebel army was
driven back from their breastworks by
the American army with tremendous
loss. The report shows that 1900
American troops took part in the con-
flict, the 1nsurgent army numbered over
20, 100 and the line of battle was seven
teen miles. The loss to the American
troops was about fifty killed and two
hundred and fifty wounded. The loss
in the insurgent army is estimated to be
between three and four thousand. A
large number of Insurgents were taken
prisoners.
Admiral Dewey opened fire with his
fleet on the left and right flanks of the
enemy and destroyed number of VIII
lagos in the neighborhood where the
lnsurgent army had established strong
holds.
