went on at regular intervals h9f nerves
grew stronger and she continued on her
way.
AT the end of the meadow she came to the
spring, bubbling up with adorable cool
ness into a round, gray basin roughly hewn
from the rock. Firmly chained to the rock
was an old gourd tfsat had been there ever
since she could remember. Then spring
spread out into a beautiful pool which re-
Elected In it's clear depths the green of the
trees above and then rippled away into q
httl9 brook that disappeared in the wood.
All about the spring were masses of pun
gent pennyroyal and tufts of fern, while
at the base of the trees which grew near
by were velvet cushions of the vivid green
moss that grows in cool damp places. Clio
tilda paused and drank thirstily of the
sparkling water, and then followed the path
into the wood.
For a time the firing ceased and there
was no sound to be heard save the hum
ming of insects and the occasional twitter
of birds in the branches above her. Sud,
denly she heard voices to the right. Not
very far away there was a clearing, where
no doubt John was shooting. Leaving the
path she picked her way carefully through
the wood in this direction. In some places
the underbrush was thick and hard to PEN
citrate. but Clotilda did not care. She had
had too many frolics in this old wood to
mind a little scratching. Presently she
paused again to listen. At first there was
absolute stiffness, and then with appalling
suddenness a shot rang out Clotilda gave
a cry and then a gasp. look of pitiful
wonder passed over her face. Then she fell
to the earth dead. She was shot through
the heart.
A moment later the bushes were parted
and a boy of IS years appeared, looking
quickly about him. Suddenly he gave cry
of agony. Clotilda lay at his feet AT this
young man few years older appeared
with gun in his HAND
why, John" he CRIED what is the
matter? Did 1 kill it?"
"Kill it!'' repeated the boy despairingly.
as he threw himself the lttlel form. 20.
George, you have killed Clotildar
80. no, not Clotilda!" said the other, in
horror-stricken tones And then he saw the
truth. "How did she come here?" he asked
miseraby. "I saw the bushes move and
thought it was a rabbit !
''Were we shooting rabbits?" said the
boy with concentrated bitterness. 20.
George he said with a sob, 'she is quite
dead. o. Clotida, Clotilda-" and with
stopped and taking the little form fondlv
streaming eyes and heaving breast, lie
in his arms he went slowly toward the
house. and 1t was many a day ere he
ceased to mourn for the little dog he had
| loved 50 long.

ATKINSON LETTER
MADE PUBLIC
By the PoStofice Department at
Washington Yesterday.
ENCOURAGES THE lFILIPiNOS
To Instruction When He Says They
Have Power to Enter Into Inter-
national Relations and May
Be Recognized.

Washington, May 1.-The postofice de-
partment today made public tho letter Of
Edward Atkinson, of Boston, on which the
action of the department in selling his
pamphlets was based. Many letters asking
for information about the subject have
been received today and this was given out
by Postmaster General Smith:
I'm view of statement of Edward Atkin-
son that he sent his pamphlets to only
Admiral Dewey, General Otis, President
Schuman and three or four others, the let
ter of Mr. Atkinson containing his applica-
ton will be of interest. 1t is as follows:
"'Boston, April %, 1899.
"'To the Secretary of War, Washington;
~ desire to send a large number of the
enclosed pamphlets on The Cost of a Ma
tional Crime The Hell of War and LIS
Penalties Criminal Aggression; by Whom
Committed? to the officers and privates IN
the Philippines. / desire to know whether
or not these documents can be sent direct
ly through the war department or may De
forwarded in due course of NAH. A list OF
regiments is desired and If there are any
nrinted lists of officers avaikalle tney
would serve me a very useful purposes.
fSigned1 EDWARD ATKINSON.
No answer was made TO this ietleF eASSpb
to send an official copy to the postmaseer
general, who issued instructions 10 tne
postmaster at San Francisco to hoid tne
pamphlets. The spirit and design OF the
PAMPHLETS will be indicated by rev eA-
tracts.
In one of them Mr.. Atkinson says:
at will amend one question to each reaoer

willing to bear and how many or your
neighbors sons are you ready to saeriiice

Again after describing what he calls the
ssHell of War and Its Penalties, MT. At
kinSon says:
Lest others should be entrapped into en-
listment in the regular army or Volunteel
service in the tropics, it will only be lair
and honest on the part of the recruiting
officers to be put in possession OIL THESE
facts?"
come plain for the youth of the land TO
avoid disease in the tropics by refusing to
volunteer or enlist in the army or navy
of the United States.
1.-THE way will be found for the volunteers
now held against their will to get their re-
lease from unlawful service in any otner
country than their own after peace is de-
clared.'
Mr.. Atkinson not only speaks thus OF and
TO the soldiers of the United States, but
he encourages the Filipinos to insurrec-
tion when he says: ''rhey have the power
to enter into international relations and
they may yet be recognized and be rightly
recognized by other powers"

CALLED DOWN
Spiritualist Schlesinger for iCriticis'
ing the Churches

At a meeting of the Psychic Society held
Thursday evening a ripple of excitement
was caused by DIR. Schlesinger, profess
sional spiritualist, who had been invited
to address the meeting. The club does
not endorse spiritualism by any means, but
simply wanted to hear DR.. Sehles!nger talk,
as he claimed that spiritualism came under
the head of psychic study.
First he gave lengthy description of his
science, or gift as it may be called, and
then, it is said. began to jump on to tha
churches and other religious organizations
for opposing spiritualism. He was prompt
ly called down by the members of the So
ciety, but was permitted to proceed with
his demonstrations, which did not result
very successfully, as he afterward admit
ted.

Defiance and Death
On April II Vailima, the home of Robert

Defiance and Death is the rebels cry.

Term of Officers Four Years
Mr.. Davis will introduce an important
amendment next week. 1t will seek to
make the terms of all state officers four
years, and make them ineligible to Sec
ond term. Also to have the Legislature
meet only once in four years. and empower
the county courts of commissioners to in
augurate local legislation If this amend

the election of United States senators, as
