Excusing herself hastily, Mrs. Dew.

entered the drawing-room, 81 must

rolled down his cheeks.
II don't understand. Who? What is
killing her?'
"The lace, ma femme" He held out
a roll of bank notes with trembling
hand. "She is very ill. We were poor,
oh, SO poor! And she wanted a tim
bale de riz de veau-and she needed
pills, and IL stole the lace and sold it
to you. I have spent $40, and now she
is crying for the lace and can't COM

An hour and half later Mrs.
Devereux entered her own drawing
room in dark street dress and hat.
II beg everybody's pardon, she said.
II was called away suddenly, and had
no time to explain. Morris, d., you
think they'll ever forgive me?"
Her husband laughed. II trust so.
But where were you?"
"That is secret; but I have cried!
Are my eyes red?"
"a little.''
"And you needn't envy me my lace

an artistic instinct flung the lace over

The marquis watched her anxiously.

said.
'Oh!" cried Mrs. Devereux again.
"Of course, I will buy it," she added;
touching the frost-like fabric lovingly.
"But-a family treasure"
The marquis cleared his throat. "Mad-

THE BETTER TIME.

Could young days last for all our time,
And change and chance be clever,
Gould what we have keep pure and prime.
Nor fade our fortunes ever:
Gould joys that once like summer smiled
Still every burden tighten,
And lovely scenes, that once beguiled,
Along our way yet brighten;
Could budding hopes in beauty bloom,
Ere comes the time of dotage,
Could every stalk, with tasseled plume,
But have an ample fruitage;
Could all the seasons bring US good
And only good be given,
It we'll might then be understood,
That here on earth is Heaven.
But this we know can never be,
The fact needs only stating,
For even blinded eyes can see
The need we have OF waiting;
The happy birds in early spring,
Back from the south come flying,
But soon again are on the wing,
And summer time is dying;
"A little while, with softened skies,
The earth grows warm and mellow,
And then the beauty fades and dies
And flowers and fields are yellow;
"A little while and we are blessed,
And every JOY has greeting,
But soon, with grief and care oppressed.
We find that all is fleeing.
And SO the seasons onward run.
And here is much Of sorrow,
Our hopes must wait ''the world to come, =
And blossom there tomorrow;
Tomorrow, that glad day and wide
With bliss and blessing crowded.
And peace and joy on every side,
Shall never be beclouded;
There all our hopes, on lofty wing,
Shall rise from Deaths dark portal.
Exulting with delight to sing
The glorious song immortal;
No blighting frosts shall chill that day,
Nor climes nor changes sever,
The friends that there, enrapt, shall stay.
Forever and forever.

detached post at Taguig, about mile
and half southeast Of Pasig. =.
General Wheaton Immediately rein.
forced the Americans with two com
panies each Of the Washington and the
Oregon regiments. The post had held
the enemy in check and the fire of the
reinforcing companies repulsed them,
driving them across to an island formed
by the estuary. They were thus in
front of the Twenty-second regulars.
On discovering that they were en-
trapped the rebels fought desperately,
aided materially by the jungle and the
darkness, but they were completely
routed with heavy loss after two hours
fighting. .---... . :... Ia.
The Americans lost two killed and
twenty wounded, among the latter
Lieutenant Frank Jones.
Rebels Pursued for Miles.
General Wheaton determined to pun
ish the natives and at daybreak his
brigade started in the following order:
The Sixth artillery holding the ex-
IRENE right, the Oregon volunteers
holding the center, the Washington
keeping to the edge of. the
lake and the Twenty regulars
occupying the right Of the line which
swept the whole country along the lake
in southeasterly direction towards
General Ovenshine's position. The
line thus extending over two miles of
country, rough and covered with thick
Jungle, advanced II miles. The enemy
fed, the last Of them being seen about
$3.50 o'clock. At scarcely any time did
the Americans get within 1000 yards Of
them.
The troops are returning to Pasig ex-
hausted by the hard work under a hot
sun. The Oregon regiment had one
man killed and four wounded and the
Twenty-second regulars one wounded.
According to the official reports no
fewer than 200 Filipinos were killed.
Filipino Soldiers Weakening.
General Otis says the American army
and gunboats now command the lake.
He estimated that property of insur-
gents valued at 100000 has been de.
stroyed, while quantities Of rice and
sugar and 400 tons of coal, which is
very valuable here, has been captured.
Many prisoners represent that the Fill
Pine soldiers are weakening. In the
opinion of Americans, however, the
Filipino leaders will continue to pro
woke fighting just as long as they car
retain their hold on their followers, be
cause they have everything to gain an6
nothing to lose.
