The silent stars looked down through
a clear, still night upon a host OF sleep
ing men. The brigade had advanced
by forced marches, and now lay within
two miles of the dervish camp. To-
morrow's dawn would see the assault.
Two officers stood together, talking in
low whispers, for it was of the utmost
importance that the enemy should be
taken by surprise, and the orders as to
silence were strict.
''Buck up, old chap; you'll come
through all right. And if not, what
does it amount to? You've got no
women folks to bother about"
''No, thank Heaven! 1t is in times
like this that one is glad never to have

The two went to the separate posts
And as he lay, sleepless, the though
came to Hamilton that it was some
what lonesome to think that no wo
mans eyes would fill at the news o
his death, and he looked upward at th'
stars above him, wondering where hi
soul would be tomorrow.
The shadow of death lay upo1

The sun had risen.

The sun had risen.
In the previous short half-hOur of
dawn the assault had been delivered,
the dervish forces had been driven
from their intrenchments, and now the
black, grinning "Gippys" were fra
ternizing and triumphing with their
laughing and chatting white com
rades.
Backward, across the half mile of
plain, the surgeons were busy. Away
to the southwark could be heard the
sounds of pursuit as the British Ian
GERS chased the flying Bagara.
A field hospital at the front is not a
pleasant place, neither can it be de-
scribed in cold black and white. War
correspondents, as readers of the dai-
lies have no doubt noticed, judiciously
avoid more than the merest mention of
such places.
There were some CHASTITY cases, and
both surgeons and assistants had been
worked hard. But the pressure was
over, and at last there was time to at
tend to the wounds which were not
deadly.
''Now, Hamilton, let's see" said
Surgeon Major Murphy, approaching
an officer who lay on a stretcher-
who had so lain half an hour at least.
The doctor looked his patient over,
gave a low whistle and beckOned to
one of the orderlies, who at that mo-
ment turned his head.
'Look, see Dawkins, here's a bad
case! He must go back to the hos
pital.'
'.Bad as that, doctor?" asked the
motionless man, family.
"'Tis SOL Now you keep quiet"
Lieutenant Hamilton had been tot
ally blinded by the explosion of a shel
in an earthwork as, well in front, he wal
leading his company. He was sent t.
the rear-to hospital-and Sister Mary
given charge of him.
He had not much pain, only he wa

long business. The days began t
hang heavily. Then came the oil

whether it will be one or two tons of
coal. The question finally takes unto
itself a desperate side and he swipes ev

DEWEY will be asked to name his
poison, thus assuming the responsible
ty for his suffering. In other words,
when the committee of New York citi-
zens decided to give Dewey a public
reception and sent him an invitation
they asked him to say what sort of q
reception he wants. That is very fair
and very considerable of the admiral's
feelings, while at the same time it re-
lieves the committee of the burden and
responsibility of making a choice.

THE childlike innocence of the Fill
Pine grunter in sending out the traus-
parent little lies about things as they
are not but are wished to be is only ex-
ceeded by the credulity of the symps-
thizers of Aguinaldo in this country,
who appear to believe the Filipinos at
the expense of their own countrymen.
The latest little bleat that proceeds
from the native workers is the story
that Dewey was going to try to convert
some of the European sympathizers of
the Filipinos and endeavor to get them
to use their influence toward surrend-
err. Odd where those fellows get their
curious bits of inform alton.

THE strikers at Cleveland seem to
have been awed at their own lawless
acts, and quieted down after their three
days of riot. They have brought up
the same sort of recrimination against
the street car companies that was used
by Debs and his friends against the
railroads at Chicago in 1894. Both
charged that the corporations were de-
liberately destroying their own proper
ty with:dynsmite and fire simply to
make plausible excuse for calling out
the state troops. The charge is fool
ish one. If no other reason
could be found, one is
enough. The corporations do
not have to use such means in order to
get, protection from the attacks of the
lawless In such cases as those at
Cleveland and Brooklyn the strong arm
of public order and public law is neces-
sarily on the side of the corporations
the instant the strikers begin to de-
stroy maliciously the private property
of such corporations. Society must
for its own protection be con-
servative body and revolutions will al
ways be put down unless society itself
is revolutionized. But just as long as
the strikers confine themselves to law
full acts, they may count on the SYM
