note the fact that old Jones and our land
lady were i'll love. Miss Sophronia was
also casting many sheeps' eyes at old
Jones, who was reported to be mighty well
off, tell youl Who was Miss Sophronia?
None could tell with any degree of GER
tainty. Miss M, our landlady, told my
friend and myself, confidentially, that
very pleasant old gentleman had brought
her there and introduced her as his niece,
adding that she desired to remain in the
city until he could put his farm in order,
which had been damaged during the prog
ress of the battles around Richmond, and
had paid four weeks board for his niece, in
advance. That settled the matter. A per-
son whose board is paid four weeks in ad
vance is entitled to superior consideration;
that is clear. For several reasons, / rather
suspected Miss Sophronia to be Confed-
crate spy.
One day not long after this, Miss M
and old Jones got out of carriage at the
door-they were married. They had
quietly gone to minister's and had the
knot tied. The whole household was
agitated; and Miss Sophronia Immediately
left for her "Uncle's." She had no uncle,
thOuRn, as one OF our SpOtterS we nad
spoilers" you must know-and she was,
beyond doubt, Confederate spy, as had
surmised. The Confederates used these
smart Sophronias" to pick up news at
boarding houses, and spot" persons speak
ing unguardedly for the Union, which was
accounted treason" by the Confederacy.
Thus, our boarding place became old
Jones's boarding house after all. But there
was more trouble ahead for old Jones.
The Confederate officers collared him at his
very dinner table and carried him off tri-
umphantly from his bride of a week. We
all really liked old Jones and his wife, and
were indignant at the arrest, but We could
do nothing.

BEDS MANILA Y
Newcomers In the Philippine Town
Are Not Apt TO Take to Them
Very Kindly.

look here, II Is nine o'clock and my
bed isn't made up yet | heard a new
conner e~Xpostulating TO the interpreter
In the Corridors Of the Hotel 0riente.
We old stagers all laughed. We knew
what was coming, but we contented
ourselves with a smile.
what are you laughing at2"the new
conner asked. at may be a joke to
you, but this blooming hotel furnishes
the woodwork, and that is about ali.
There isn't a stitch Of bedclothes, q
mattress, OF anything on my bed but
a bolster"
We still laughed. The interpreter
looked imploringly at is and then at
the raw recruit.
What Is 1t that you desire?' he
said, finally.
"Desire?' the newcomer snapped out.
Il desire a mattress at least, two sheets,
a quilt and a pillow"
Il viii go now and see the propri-
etor," said the interpreter, for that was
what he always said.
Il got all ready for bed, raised the
mosquito netting, and found that there
wasn't a thing for me to sleep on" con
tinued the Pathfinder.
We all smiled pityingly and went on
with u tales Of camp and the firing
line. There was no use OF irving to
tell a newcomer that here IN Manila we
never use a mattress, a set Of springs,
a pillow or q sheet. We would have
deprived him Of what he had come SO
far to learn by personal experience had
we read him a homlly on Philippine Gus
toms. The interpreter soon returned
and | heard him saying:
THE proprietor says, sir, that he
Will have you sent a sheet, but he Is
sorry to say, sir, that he has not a mat
tress or a quilt, nor a pillow, except the
bolster that is on your bed"
The language Of the newcomer that
followed is unfit for publication. The
mAttressless and quiltless Filipino bed
Is a Characteristic Of the country. II
Is the one thing that is suitable for the
climate, and we soon learned to re
speet this skeleton Of a bed, the per
fora,ed cane bottom Of which enabled
us to keep cool in the hottest weather,
1t is quite a jump, though, from a com.
portable tick and linen sheets to a
bed no softer than the seat Of a zane
chair, but once taken, like other trop-
zeal Injuries, It becomes essential TO
comfort and rest,-Leslle's Weekly.

JENNINGS NEARLY ESCAPED.
Been Out Of the Springfield jail
but for an Accident.

Springfield, Mo-, June 2s.-"Bill"
Jennings, the convicted train robber,
nearly escaped from the county Jail at
about two o'clock yesterday morning.
James Hennessy and Charles Witchert,
cellmates Of jennings, escaped and have
not been captured. They erawled
through a hole which they had cut
through the stone wall jennings
would have escaped, but the hole was
not big enough for him to crawl
through. In trying to enlarge it he
made a noise that attracted the guards
in the Jail Office adjoining. They put
an end to Jennings plans. Kennedy
occupied a separate cell and had no OPP
%portunity TO Join in the break.

A gentleman walking one evening in
The park at Durham, the seat Of the earl
Of Stamford and Warrington, came to a
pond where Ash intended for the table
were temporarily kept. He took par
ucular notice Of a fine pike, Of about
six pounds weight, which, when It oh.
served him, darted hastily away. In 40
doing 1t struck its head against a tenter
hook In a port (of which there were sew

Pesred most horrible, 1t rushed TO the

for a short interval. 1t then plunged

forward along the edge Of the pond for
some time. and the FISH continued 10
