year Corp. Sullivan's regiment was
held in reserve the day of that charge
and he had an excellent opportunity
to see the entire wild charge of the
half naked savages armed with moth
ing but bows and arrows. He de-
scribes the charge wildly and tells of
the foolhardy manner in which they
faced certain death, poured upon them
in a leaden hail by the Californian
troops with their long Toms" or
Springfield rifles.
With their comrades dropping on ev-
cry hand they still continued their wild
charge and fghtinfi with desperation
that was wonderful, and they would
certainly have won the day by their
overpowering by that alone,
had it not been for the fact that the
Third artillery were dispatched to in
terpose and drive the savages back.
The Third CALAMITY took UP the fight
just when the California troops were
beginning to waver. With their death
dealing "Krags" being brought into
play the savages threw away their
bows and arrows and fled in great dis
order and fear They have not been
seen or heard of since on the i.Yand,

their mountain Businesses and there re-

tillery it is estimated that 300 men have
been killed In K battery there have
been Is killed and the three officers all
have been wounded. It is a rare occur
renee to find a man who has not sus-
tanned at least one wound from the eff
fects of the campaigning. Corp. Sulli-
van was wounded at the battle of Ia
loogan, being struck in the thumb of
the left hand. The shot that struck him
came across the river at Caloocan.
But the Third artillery do not com

time they had worked in their cars in
the station. No division superintend
ent would ask the men to do any extra
work, but suggested that there be vol
unteers. Among the men was Ernest
Bennett of st. Louis, who, with A. M
Browning, offered to go out to the
wreck and care for the mail. The
boys went, and their work was appre-
eiated, as shown in letters received
from the department. Their averages
were also boosted" and recently,
when there was vacancy, Bennett
was raised from the class in which he
had been to the class above, although
many of the men outranked him in
length of service.
Each man has furnished to him
number of what are called slips" and
these bear the names of towns or con-
nections to which he must deliver
pouches or bags on his run. The num-
Der of slips differs as the runs differ.
On some runs only forty slips are
needed, while on other runs the NUM-
Der required reaches 200. The slips
have to be so folded that they will fit
into the slides in the pouches made for
the purpose. Several enterprising in
dividuals have discovered the fact that
the folding of these slips has to be done
by the clerk just before he goes out on
each run. They have made contracts
with the clerks to do the work by the
month, and number of men are max
ing a good living folding slips for
clientage of railway postal clerks, who
pay about 81 per month for the work.
There is an erroneous impression that
the clerk works only when he is on his
run. AS a matter of fact, is longest
working hours are in the big train
sheds before the trains start. A clerk
who goes out of st. Louis on the fast
mail at o'clock in the morning goes
to work at $50 in the evening and
works steadily up to the time when the
train pulls out. He receives several
deliveries from the post Office and gets

front door in the hall below.

Again he/stepped quickly to the door

The door squeaked this time and the
young wife started in her sleep, awoke
and half rose in her bed.
Donaghue at the same time heard
the shuttle of feet in the room below.
He paused and listened at the top of
the stairs.
Even through the man had heard the
door squeak, he had not left the back

fix before, and he was never cleverer
than when he knew that he was in
danger.
But luck was against him. There
was fur rug at the foot Of the stairs.
The floor beneath was polished. He
slipped and fell and in spite of him
self, he uttered an exclamation that
was profane enough to be unrlistaka-
bly, masculine. He heard the man rush
from the library, and how 1t all hap
pened he hardly knew, but some way
or other he managed to dash into the
dark parlor, to throw open the window
and jump out.
He expected to fall at least eight or
ten feet. He did not fall two. He had
jumped out on a posch, evidently, for
he could see the railing IN the moon

his living in peculiar way. This was
little more than he could stand. He
jumped up and leaped back through the
window.

Donaghue knelt at the door and put
practiced ear to the keyhole. There
was a faint sound of breathing, SO faint
that Donaghue pressed his rough ear
still closer to the brassy aperture in
the door and listened even more intent
ly. His small eyes glistened in the dark
hallway like the eyes of a cat Che had
been nicknamed "The Cat" for this
very popularity, but there was no one
in the house to see those glistening eyes
save the servants, fast asleep two sto-
ries above, and the occupants of this
one room. He had watched that house
three preceding days and nights. He
knew that it was occupied by young
man and his wife-evidently newly
married and beyond doubt rich. He
knew that the servants were a cook,
two maids and a butler; and he had
almost worked out in his mind just
where the pretty wife placed her jewel
ry when she went to bed in the second
floor room and just what means the
husband took to secure his probably
well-f1lled purse.
When one is in the habit of making
social calls of the description that Dom
aghue was making it is much better to
find husbands away from home, the
servants and occupants of the house all
asleep, and the policeman on the beat
quite out of hearing.
The fact was. Donaghue shrank from
notoriety. He preferred a quiet en-
trance by the window wholly unob-
served If possible, and, departing, left
not his card nor anything else that was
of value and at the same time porta-

country, with its ancient buildings ana
architecture. In the city of Manila the
houses are nearly all composed Of stone,
put out in the country they are con-
structed OF bamboo. In every village of
dozen or more bamboo shacks a great
stone church is always sure to loom
up, proof positive Of the deep religious
tendencies of the people, whatever bad
qualities they may possess.
The better class of the natives are
usually well appearing intelligent
looking men, One of their peculiarities
is the prevalence of pompadour hair
cuts. Aguinaldo also Sports that style
of hair cut. He is described as being
a young looking fellow with plenty of
conceit His body guard are all attir-
ed in the regulation Filipino uniform
which consists of red trousers and blue

described as being very vain and not

While Corp. Sullivan was extolling

hearts of the private soldiers by their
acts of valor, one of the interested

Corp. Sullivan what he thought of

needs twice the present force, but he
pursues a peculiar policy of taking a
village and then relinquishing his hold
only to retake it when the insurgents
