Ions found time. even amid their last
greetings, to look ct her as she passed,
and to wonder what fortunate blue
coat claimed relationship with the
lovely latecomer.
Coloring little at the attention she
attracted. she walked through the
crowd Of soldiers and friends straight
up to the disconsolate boy whose lone
illness she had come to tighten. He
recognized her at once. and questioned
her eagerly about his mother.
''She is better. said the girl, reas-
suringly, but she could not get down
to the depot, SO she asked me to come
and say 'Good-by' and God bless you
for her."
you are kind" he stammered, con-
fusedly. Both were aware, and each
knew the other was aware, that they
were by this time the center OF obser-
walton. "Did my mother send me any
thingT he asked after an awkward
pause.
'-She sent you her dearest love-" she
answered, land babe me tell you she
would pray for you until she saw you
again."
"Did she send me nothing else"
asked the lad. thinking wistfully of
the many little keepsakes and mem
entoes he had seen exchanged between

The poor boy. for he was nothing
but a boy) looked disappointed. and
she felt sorry for him, but could think
of nothing more to say to him. Then,
like fash, into her quick woman's
mind there came an inspiration that
staggered her with !ts audacity. A
brazcn girl would never have thought
of it at all; less thoroughbred girl
would never have dared carry it into
effect. She hesitated moment, blush
ing furiously all over her pretty face
and throat. Then, as the train bell
rung, she flung back her graceful
head with the gesture of Princess,
and darted look of defiance at the
bystanders.
Nothing" she said, except this"
and putting her arm round his neck,
she gave the astonished boy a kiss
that made the checks of every soldier
within eye and earshot tingle with en-
Wy. After which she turned and fed.

BLACK FIGHTERS.
What Happened When the Twenty
Fourth Boarded Transport.

what Happened when the twenty
Fourth Boarded Transport.
With their hands full Of candy boxes
and flowers they sttod staring about,
having hard work to keep their faces
set in the proper lugubrious lines. 1t
seemed like the beginning of a great
picnic to which these numberless men
most of them youths, were going with
laughter and jest, gayly and calamity,
as men go to feast.
From stem to stern the transport
was as clean as newly washed china
cup. as fresh as air and sun could
make her. From her soldiers quar-
tiers, lined with three tiers of new
canvas berths, to her officers state
rooms, fiecl,less in white paint and
enamel-ware washstands, she was trim
and spotless. There did not seem to be
a hole or corner of her into which the
crowd did not penetrate. They peered
into the officers staterooms and
climbed up and down ladders to and
from dark places in the bowels of the
ship. They stood in a gazing circle
round General Shafter, who sat in a
deck chair, gasping after his pull up
perpendicular stairway, and fol-
lowed General s. b. Young, the rank
ing officer of the expedition, as he pi-
loted party Of inspecting ladies and
gentlemen through the highways and
byways of the transport.
AS the hour drew on toward four
the troops gathered on the wharf were
marshaled into line and In single file
assembled the gangway. The recruits
on deck turned from their sport of
guying the crowd and greeted the adj
vancing column, whose steady tramp
shook the pier, with wild bowls of
welcome. The din was deafening, the
shouts of the men above provoking an
swering roars from the men below.
Through the thunder jokes shouted in
every key that went hHrtling back and
forth, many shrill shrie'.s of persoiNl
recognition rent the air.
Enthusiasm reached its height when
q small body of the Twenty fourth In
fantry assembled the gangway. They
were In full kaki uniform, the column
headed by sergeant of magnificent
proportions, carrying beside his regu-
lar accoutrements handful of new
brooms. With an even tread, upright,
their dark faces expressionless, their
figures instinct with the pride of their
reputation and their regiment, they
swung into line. The two wings of
the crowd fell back and the sergeant
with his brooms mounted the gang
way. AS the eyes of the soldiers
above fell on them a roar, loud and
steady as the sound from one gigantic
throat, burst from the decks and rolled
away, reyerberating down the wharfs
length. The dignity Of the negro, a
thing hard to shake, trembled, wav-
cred. and gave way. A grin broad and
uncomfortable, flashed down the line

Topsy Turvy.

IL we want to find country where
nature has turned things topsy turvy
that is. according TO our notion-we
must go to Australia. Many things are
reversed in that country. 1t Is summer
there while 1t is winter in America.
Trees shed their bark instead of their
leaves; fruit has the stone or kernel
outside; swans are black; there is a
species of fly that kills and eats the
spider, and fish called the climbing
perch, and walks deliberately out OF the
water. and, with the aid of its fins,
climbs the adjacent trees after the in.
sects that infest them. When TO this
we add that most OF the birds have nc
song and the flowers no odors, it is
easily seen that 1t is on the other side
of the world in more senses than one
