At last the deacon saw a little CHOW in

He might have heard the ripple of the
Rappahannock, but, being so worn and
dun in his mind, he laid Dinkey down by
the fire and fell heavily to sleep himself
before he knew 1t.
When he woke Pate Murphy stood near
him with a corporal and a guard. They

ago. He'll do roll over Diukey, JUS for

They put DinKey's coat over his face
and buried him on the bank OF the Ranpa-
hammock and the drummer beat a roll
over him. Then they sat town On the
bank and waited for the next thing.

"'Taint far, Dinkey," said the deacon
gently.
And he thought of Pete Murphy's red,

occurred to him that he had noticed most
men in Company G, if they fell into trou-
bic, wanted to find Pete. He thought he
should want to himself, though he be Kill

Pete Murphy TO tell his wife about it.
Dinkey lay limp and heavy in his arms.
The wet blackness seemed like something

Another Use for Asbestos.

The latest production OF the Glenwood
foundry is range which surpasses in rare
beauty, richness of design, novel and model
improvements any cooking range ever
made. Nobody ever dreamed that the as
bestos oven could make such difference
in baking, or thought of the bright idea OF
lighting the oven. The oven CRATE may be
adjusted at several different heights, just a
little way from the oven bottom or nearly
to the oven top, giving the oven almost
twice the room of other ranges. The broil-
or door swings downward entirely out of
the way of the hand that holds the broiler,
removing the danger OF burning the knuck-
les.
The ash pan is very large and roomy, hav-
ing strong, well-balanced handle for car
rying, and is most carefully fitted to the
hearth on all sides, which prevents that
Distressing nuisance Of ashes falling around
the sides and accommodating beneath, always
experienced with a loose fitting pan. The
Glenwood Oven Heat Indicator registers
the heat so plain and accurate that even the
experienced housekeeper soon learns its
value and depends on it entirely.
There are so many good things about this
range, perhaps the best have been left un-
said Why not write to the Weir Stove Co. +,

England's ROusement,

LONDON, Oct. 18.-The Queen sent
this afternoon to the House Of Com
mons the following message: "The
state of affairs in South Africa having
constituted in the opinion of Her Maj
esty, great emergency within the
meaning Of the Act of Parliament, Her
Majesty dee ms it proper to provide ad-
ditional means for military service.
She has, therefore, thought it right to
communicate to the House that Her
Majesty is by proclamation about to
order the enrolment of the militia and
to call out the militia reserve force, or
such part thereof as Her Majesty may
think necessary, for permanent ser
vice."
The calling out of the army reserve
and the army militia occasions wide
spread wonderment. Cd stories of
preparation against continental comb.
nations are revived. According to
STATISTICS published this year, the mill
tia, including the permanent staff and
the militia reserve numbers 1872, 493
The militia presumably, will replenish
the denuded British garrison towns
and thus permit the government to
send to the Cape all the regulars rem
dered necessary by the devel 'pments
in South Africa.
1t is probable that both the attitude
OF Europe and that OF the natives in
