she pleaded.
1.-THE batter-he famed, YOU see."
"He famed! Which man? And where

The Rooster Saved the Day.

Every schoolboy knows the tradi-
ton famous in Roman history of the
geese which saved the capital by
quacking an alarm when the Gauls
approached in the night. Modern
history furnishes an interesting
parallel.
One of the famous victories of
England on the sea was the battle OF
Cape St. Vincent. Portugal, in 1897,
! when a British fleet nearly destroyed
Spanish fleet of almost double its
numbers.
For long time the struggle was
! doubtful, and one of the British
ships, the Marlborough, was SO
severely cripple d that her captain
was thinking OF surrender to save
further waste of life.
The ships mast had gone by the
board, the chief officer was mortally

ordinates were disabled that the
discipline IF the crew began to give
way. They grew sul,en under the
terrible fire, which they could not
return with effect.

The Drummer's Best Girl.

He hurried up to the office as soon
as he entered the hotel, and without
waiting to register, inquired eagerly:
''Any letter for me?"
The clerk sorted over a package
with the negligent attention that
comes of practice, then tipped one
verv small one-on the counter.
The travelling man took it with a
curious smile that twisted his pleas
art looking face into mass of
expectancy.
He smiled more as he read it.
Then oblivious of other travellers who
iostled him, he laid it tenderly
against his lips and actually kissed
it.
A loud guffaw startledhim.
Now, look here, old fellow" sa
loud voice, ''that won't do,
know. Too spooney for anything.
Confess now, your wife didn't write
that letter."
mo, she didn't said the travel
ing man with an am 4zed look, as If
he would like to change the subject.
THAT letter is from my best girl"
The admission was so unexpected
that the trio of friends who had
caught him said no more until after
they had eaten good dinner and
were seated together in chums
room.
Then they began to badger him.
Its no use you've got to read it
to US, Dick said one of them; I'VE
want to know all about your best
girl"
$50 you SHALL" said Dick, with
great GOODNESS; II will give you the
letter and you can read it yourselves.
There it IS, and he laid it open on
the table.
II guess not" said the one who
had been loudest in demanding it;
1--WE like to chaff little, but | hope
we are gentlemen. The young lady
would hardly care to have her letter
read by this crowd" and he looked
reproachfully at his friend.
But | insist upon it," was the
answer. There is nothing in it to
be ashamed of-except the spelling
that is a little shaky, I'll admit, but
she won't care in the least. Read
it, Hardy, and Judge for yourself"
Thus urged Hardy took up the
letter shamefacedly enough and read
1t. There were only few words.
First he laughed, then swallowed
suspiciously, and as he finished it
threw it on the table again and
rubbed the back of his hand across
his eyes as if troubled with dimness
OF vision.
"Pshaw," he said, eff had love
letter like that and then he was
silent.
Fair play ~ cried one of the
others with an uneasy laugh.
III read it to you, boys" said
their friend, seeing they made no
move to take it, land / think you'll
agree with me that it is model love
letter"
And this was what he read:
My OWN DEAR PA PAL sa mi

For a moment or two the CON-
pany remained silent, while the lit
tie letter passed from hand to hand
aud you would have said that every
one had hsy fever by the snuffling
that was heard. Then Hardy jump
ed to his feet:
