PAYING FOR A MEAL.
1t Was Worth a Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.


Colonel Ebenezer Sproat. Of Revolu-
tionary fame, was horn and bred in
Middleboro. Mass. He was always
fond of joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to indulge his propen-
sity. as the following incident. related
by DR.. Hildreth, we'll illustrates. His
father, also Colonel Sproat, kept a
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on furlough three private
soldiers, on their return from the seat
of war, called for a cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants of
the family dinner. which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt little vexed that the
defenders of the country were not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
diers. after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
Mother" he said. how much is it
worth to pick those bones?''
"About shilling, guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the SOL
diers, and. taking from the barroom till
3 shillings and smiling genially upon
them. gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way.
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner
In apparent amazement he exclaim-
ed: Money! Did not ask you what
1t was worth to pick those bones, and
you said shilling? l thought it little
enough. for the bones were pretty bare,
and l handed the men the money
from the till. and they are gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she, too. loved a joke. and so. after an
instant's glum look. she laughed and
said it was all right.-Youth's Com

THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

When the jubilant, newborn day
And the opal tints of approaching dawn
AS yet seem far away.
In the eastern sky is movement,
No glow, but impending change.
The house is filled with echoes; "a

Slip back the bolts and leave themS
Steal out beneath the sky;
Stand alone in an unknown world
OF awful purity.
Stand alone with folded hands,
Wait for the gift of wings, M
Wait to be lifted higher,
Nearer the heart OF thingsi
The heavens are clear and moonlit
Though the moon is on the wane;
The wind that walled throughout the night
Drops with sigh of pain.
A vague alarm is creeping
Over the fields and lawn; &

Time pauses, night is over, ihi
And yet it is not dawn. M
Away down in the pastures
The cattle turn and moan; I'm

With sense of the unknown. VIZ

And they who question know.

The east begins to glowl
The east is all in tumult,
The charmed hour is past,
For, breaking up the quiet skies,
The day appears at last.

his hand to Billy.
Forgive me, lad, for I judged you
more harshly than you deserved"
One lovely summer-like evening some
five weeks later, in long, heaving surges
the deep blue waves of the Pacific came
lazily rolling toward the palm-bordered
beach at Waikiki, bursting into snowy
foam on the pebbly strand, and, softly
Kissing, swept like fleecy mantle up the
slope of wet, hard-beaten sand, then
broke, tapping and whirling, about the
stone supports of the broad lanai Of
one of the many luxurious homes that
dot the curving line of the bay to the
east of Honolulu. Dimly outlined in
the fairy moonlight, the shadowy noun
tains of the Waianai range lay low upon
the western horizon. Eastward the
bare, bold, volcanic upheaval of Dia-
mond Head cleaned in bold relief, re-
f1ecting the silver rays. Here and there
through the foliage shone the soft-col-
ored fires of Chinese lanterns, and far

tant electric lights twinkled like an

vault of blue, and the riding lights" Of
the few transports or warships swing
ing at anchor on the tide.
From little grove of palms close to
the low sea wall came the soft tinkle of
guitar, and now and then a burst of
| joyous song, while under the spreading
roof of the broad portico, or lanai, the
murmur of voices, the occasional ripple
of musical laughter, the floating haze
of cigarette smoke, told where party

in the loneliness of nature and the

the welcome of their wnsome hostess,
in the soft, soothing influence of that
summer cline, and through the healing
tonic of the long sea voyage, faces that
had been saddened by deep anxiety but
few weeks gone smiled gladness into
one another now. A tall gray-haired
man reclined in an easy lounging chair,
his eyes intent on the clear-cut face of
young soldier in trim white uniform,
who, with much animation, was telling
of an event in the recent campaign.
| By his side, her humid eyes following
his every gesture, sat a tall, dark,
stylish girl, whose hand from time to
time crept forth to caress his-an evil
dent case of sister worship. Close at
hand another young fellow in spotless
white, his curly head bent far forward,
his elbows on his knees, his finger tips
joining, was studying silently the eff
feet of his comrades story on another

CHAPTER XVIII.

The long wait for the coming of the
big transports with the regulars was
over. For the first time In history
America was sending her soldiery past
the pyramids and through the Indian
sea, landing them, after 40 days and
nights of royaging, upon the low, fiat
shores that hem Manila bay, and SHOW
ing them out to the hostile front be-
fore their sea-legs could reach the
swing and stride of the marching step;
yet, to allappearance, as unconcernedly
at home us though they had been cam
paigning in the Philippines since the
date of their enlistment. This, to be
sure, in the case of more than half
their number, would have given them
scant time in which to look about them,
since raw recruits were more numerous
than seasoned men. But no matter
what may be his lack of drill or prep
aration the average Anglo-Saxon never
seems to know the time when he doesn't
know how to fight. So, with all the
easy assurance of a veteran, our Yankee
"Iommies" wriggled into their blanket
rolls and trudged away to the posts
assigned them; and once more the army
assumed the aggressive.
There were changes in the compost
ton of the forces even before the move
began. The dudes and the "touphs"
parted company; and the former, with
