THE HERO OF
MANILA HERE
CONTINUED From First Page.)

He wants to be general, governor, judge
and everything else, to have hold OF all
the irons No man can do this. This
is the great trouble. lit is enough for
man to DO one thing, to be one thing but
when a man tries to do everything
and to be everything it is easy to imag-
inc the result.
The fight in the Philippines should
be easily ended. The people have been
so badly treated for such length
of time by the SEaniards that they are
distalstful. This is the great difficulty
in dealing with them. Where we have
met them and they have been in much
contact with us as to learn that we mean
to treat them well; where they have
seen that we mean who we say, there
is NO trouble. They stand by us all the
time. All of them will learn this in
time. They viii get from under the
influence of Aguinaldo, or rather those
people who are behind Aguinaldo, who,
as / said before, is a mere tool
DO l think the Filipinos are fit for
self government? Well no; not just now.
They probably will be in little time.
They are very queer people-a very
queer mixture. Many of them are quite
civilized and good people, but | do not
think they are fit for seif-governlnem
just yet But when | say that, | must
add at the same time that it is my
candid opinion that they are more fitted
for it than the CubanS, that they are
a better people than the CuDans IN every
way.
Il do wish, however, that the whole
business was settled and | think that
after little the Filipinos will take
kindly to us"

Broke for Liberty.

Andy Harris, the negro under life
sentence for murder, was not taken
to the penitentiary with the prisoners
we mentioned on Saturday last. His
attorneys have taken an appeal, and
he has been kept in the parish jail
pending the Supreme Courts action
in the matter. Last Sunday morning
as Deputy W. B. Garrett was giving
the prisoners their breakfast, he in
cautiously opened the steel corridor
before securing Andy in one of the
cells, and Andy promptly showed an
other prisoner over Mr.. Garrett and
broke for freedom. Fortunately the
deputy recovered himself quickly, and,
following to the platform, he sent a
pistol bullet after Andy, who had just
reached the ground at the bottom of
the steps. The prisoner decided to
halt rather than take the chances,
and was again put in his cell.

A correspondent writes to ask if
1900 will be leap year, and if not
why not? The reason for this is a
long story. Briefly, according to the
Gregorian calendar, which is the ac-
cepted method OF measuring time. ev-
cry year isa leap year that is divisable
by four, without remainder, excepting
the last year of each century, which
is leap year only when the nun Der
OF the century is divisable by four.
Leap year originated with the astron-
omers of Julius Caesar, forty five
years before Christ. They fixed the
solar year at 365 days and 6 hours,
comprising as they thought, the peri
cd from one vernal equinox to anoth-
err; the six hours were set aside and
at the end of four years forming an
other day, the fourth year was made
to consist of 366 days. This added
day with us is Feb. 20. This a. range-
ment makes the year nearly three
minutes longer than the astronomi-
cal year and to obviate this, 100
and 1900 we're not, and 1900 will
not be leap years, but 1000 will be
one. The next leap year will be 1904.

CHAPTER XVIII.-(Contlnued)

CHAPTER HNlll.-(Continued
One Of the men fell-it was Sullivan.
Rolling over on the hillside, he lay
still, shot through the forehead. NO
more lightning rum" would he dis
pense at the charge OF one shilling per
"nobbler;" no more unwary bushmen
would he waylay and rob of their hard
earned cheques! Sulliyan's long ca
reer Of vice was closed forever and now
he would have to settle a longer score
than ever he had chalked up against
his customers in all his life-a score
such as rogues of his type never expect
to be called upon to pay.
Come on, lads!" cried the trooper.
Fire; but spare the woman If you
can"
At that moment the door was thrown
open and a woman appeared, firing
five or six shots from a revolver upon
the besieging party.
Rushing into close quarters, and fir
ing at random, the hut was speedily
gained possession of, and then the fight
was over.
Stretched upon the floor in a corner,
shot through the heart, lay Tom
Baynes; while leaning against the wall
beside him stood the woman, mortally
wounded, but still at bay.
With a yell of triumph William Luke
threw himself upon the dead man; but
suddenly he drew back with an excla-
nation of intense amazement. Then
he tore open the wooden shirt upon the
body.
"Good heavens" he cried, otis a
woman; and, as | live, 1t is Anne Dod-
SOM"
The rest of the men crowded into the
hut, and a hush of horror fell upon
them, while the hunted creature lean
ing against the wall watched them and
clutched at the rough bark slabs in the
agony of death, presently gasping-
Eyes, yes-it is Anne Dodson; true
to me-true to the last! You've won
the game, Bill Luke; you will get the
reward; but I, Edward Bartlett, will
never hang for the murder Of your
brother, or-or-the old man at Froy-
les! The coins-the gold colns-they
are buried-buried beneath Ali"
AS the voice ceased the woman's
black wig slipped and fell off; there
was a dull gurgling sound as of one
struggling for breath, and, with a wild
glance around him, Edward Bartlett
fell forward across the body of the
girl who had loved him, dead!
