was clear. you came within an ace
of running the whole thing. Never ask
Canker for anything, unless it's what

you're for guard, and he's to go to town
instead"
Hopping mad" as he himself after
ward expressed 1t, Col. Canker had
ridden over to shave it out" with the
quartermaster who had ventured to
comment on his methods, but the sight
of the commanding general, standing
alone at the entrance to his private tent,
his pale face grayer than ever and a
world Of trouble in his eyes, compelled
Canker to stop short. Two or three
orderlies were on the run. Two aids
de-camp, Capt. Garrison and COM
rade were searching through desks and
boxes, their faces grave and concerned.
The regimental commander was off his
horse in second. Anything amiss

aAlute.
The general turned slowly toward
him. "Can our men sell letters" hi
said, "as well as food and forage? DE-
people buy such things? A most i'm

with a glance at Gray, who had whipped
off his cap and was standing in respect

the querulous, half treble Of complaint.
Whats this you'd best leave alone?"
he suddenly demanded. "There are
dozen things you'd best leave alone and
dozen you would do well to cultivate
and study. When I was-however,
never was a lieutenant except in war
time, when they amounted to some
thing. I got my professional knowl-
edge in front of the enemy-not at any
damned charity school. You're here
to ask some new indulgence, Isuppose.

fritter away your money and the time
the government pays for. No, sir; you
can't have my consent. You will be
back in camp at 10 o'clock, and stop
and report your return to the officer
of the guard, SO that may know the
hour you come in. Who's officer Of the

by George, that the first prisoner that
gets away from this post takes some

turned and glared at the bright blue

disapprobation. "Has that young fell

Fund for That Purpose.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lathe Woman's
National Industrial league Wednesday
night took the initial steps to raise a
fund with which to purchase a home
IN Washington for Adm. Schley. An
executive committee, with Mrs Char
Iotte Smith as chairman, was appoint

zens' national bank of Washington
was designated as the Institution to
which subscribers should send their
subscriptions. Resolutions were adopt
ed as follows:
Whereas, RI. Adm. Winfield Scott
Schley, Z. S. N, has, by his patriotic
devotion to duty, as displayed at the
battle Of Santiago, endeared himself
to the American people,
Whereas, The members of the Wom-
ans Industrial league, desiring to ex-
press their gratitude to a brave, I'M
selfish and modest officer, who has
been an earnest and chivalrous friend
to industrial women. Be it, therefore,
Resolved, That the Women's Indus
trial league take the initial and neces-
sary steps to promote public opinion,
so as to enable them to secure funds to
purchase home for Adm. Schley, at
the national capital, as a token of
their high appreciation of mis- services
in behalf of our country.
Be it further resolved, that the
Woman's National Industrial League of
America, appropriate 500 toward the
expense for stationary, postage and
printing, in sending out letters to the
patriotic citizens of the United States,
to request their cooperation in form
ing committees and assisting in secur-
ing funds to purchase home, to be pre-
sented to Adm. Schley by the people
of America. We also earnestly appeal
to the press of the nation to assist us
in our efforts.

CUNNINGHAM GREENE.
Rumored That the British DIPLOMATIC
Agent at Pretoria Has Been Assas-
sinated-Rumor Unconfirmed.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-It is rumored that
Conyngham Greene, the British diplo-
matte agent at Pretoria, has been as
saSsinated there.
The report however is unconfrmed
and is discredited at the colonial office.
The rumor that Mr.. Greene had been
murdered is of doubtful origin and is
considered extremely improbable as it
is believed that in obedience to orders
from the imperial government Mr..
Greene had already left Pretoria con-
fding the care of British interests to
United States Consul Marcum.
