Honolulu had told the elder sister of
increasing jealousy and suspicion on
the coloncl's part, of his dreadful rage
at Yokohama on learning that even
there-the very hour OF their arrival
when the consul came aboard with a
batch of letters in his hand, he had one
for Mrs Frost. She had barely glanced
at its contents before she was stricken
with a fit of trembling, tore it in half,
and tossed the fragments on the swift
ebbng tide, then rushed to her state
ROOM There she added a postscript to
the long letter penned to Margaret on
the voyage; and the purser, not her
| husband, saw it safely started on the
Gaelic leaving for San Francisco via
! Honolulu that very day. That letter
beat the ordinary mail, for the Queen
| was heading seaward, even as the Gae-
lie came steaming in the coral-guarded
| harbor, and little packet was tossed
! aboard the new troop ship as she sped
away, one missive in it telling Witchie
| Garrison that the man whose life had
! been wrecked by her sisters enforced
| desertion was already in Manila await
ing her coming, and telling her, more
| over, that the packet placed in Gen.
| Drayton's hands c~utained only her
earlier letters. In his reckless wrath
Latrobe had told her that those which
| bound her to him by the most solemn
pledges, those that vowed undying love
and devotion, were still in his hands,
and that she should see him and them
when at last she reached Manila.
Three mortal weeks had the sisters
been there together, and never once in
| that time did Nita venture forth except
! when under the escort of her black
! browed husband or the protection OF
! her smiling, witching, yet vigilant Mar
| garet. Never once had their house been
| approached by anyone who bore resem-
blance to the :rcaded lover. All along
the Gale Real, where were the quarters
of many officers, little guards of reGu-
| lars were stationed; for black rumors
of Filipino uprising came with every
few days, and some mems hearts were
failing them for fear when they
thought of the paucity of their num-
bers as compared with the thousands
| of fanatical natives to whom the taking
of human life was of less account than
the loss of a game chicken, and in
whose sight assassination was a
J virtue when it rid one of foe. Already

HUNTING IN CUBA.
Many Domestic Animals Have Run
wild and Now Afford Excel
lent Sport.

In eastern Cuba Weyler's campaigns
of determination have led to an un-
expected result-a decided and prob
ably permanent improvement of the
local hunting grounds. Thousands of
stampeded pigs, goats and chickens
have taken refuge in the Sierras and
become self-supporting enough to de-
fy recapture. Practice has also i'm
proved their speed. Barnyard fowl
have turned into wood birds and pass
the night in almost inaccessible
est trees, shrouded by a mantle of
tangled vines. The Spanish settlers
who imported pigs from Andalusia
and Aragon would not recognize their
descendants in the jungles of the Sd
ezra de Cobre. Ordinary hunting dogs
can hardly venture to encounter the
fierce boars that rush at every in
truder of their lairs and stand at bay
until their female relatives have scut-
tied into pathless thicllets.
As natural game preserves both Gu
ba and San Domingo have, in fact
more than doubled their attractive
ness since the time when the compan-
ions of Columbus explored the up
lands of Santiago and marveled at the
almost total absence of wild quad1u-
peds. Birds abounded, but there were
no deer in the forests, no foxes, bears
or badgers in the mountain cliffs.
There were neither rabbits nor squir-
rels, the only indigenous animals be

serious trouble seemed to consist in
keeping Billy Gray at respectful dis
tance. He sought her side day after
day, to Armstrong; mild amaze, as
has been said; and when he could not
be with her was moody, even fierce and
ugly tempered-he whose disposition
had been the sunniest in all that gray,
shivery, dripping sojourn at the San
Francisco camp.
But once fairly settled in Manila, the
White Sisters seemed to regain all the
old asccnden"y. Col. Frost had taken
n big, cool, roomy house, surrounded
by spacious grounds, down in Malate
and close to the FLASHING waters of the
bay. Duties kept him early and late
at his office in the walled city; but
every evening, after the drive and din
ner, callers came thronging in, and all
Witches witcheries were called into
play to charm them into blindness and
to cover Nita's fitful and nervous
moods, now almost painfully apparent.
Frost's face was at times a thunder
cloud and army circles within the outer
circle of Manila saw plainly that all
Benedict and that fragile, fiuttering,
baby wife. The bloom of Nita's beauty
was gone. She looked wan. white, even
haggard. She had refused to leave
Hong-Kong or come to Manila until Mar
garets arrival. then flew to the shelter
of that sisterly wing. Frank Garrison
had been occupying a room under the
same roof with his general, but both
general and aidede-camp were now
much afield, and Frank spent far more
days and nights along the line of block
houses than he did at home. The com
ing of his wife was unannounced and
Utterly unlocked for. did | consult
my husband" she exclaimed in sur
prise, when asked the question one day
by the wife of Il veteran field officer
"Merciful heaven, Mrs. LenoX, there
was no time for that except by cable,
and at four dollars a word. No! If
any doubt of what Frank Garrison will
say or do exists in my mind | 60 and
do the thing at once, then the doubt is
settled. If he approve, well and good;
if he doesn't-well, then I've had my
fun anyway"
But il made little difference what
Frank Garrison might think, say or do
when Nita's need came in question. 1t
was for Nita that Margaret Garrison so
suddenly quilted the Preside and has
tened to Hawaii. 1t was for her sake,
to be her counsel and protection, the
elder sister had braved refusal, Difficult
ties, criticism, even Armstrong; open
voyage to hostile cline. That she
braved, too, her husbands displeasure
was not matter of sufficient weight to
merit consideration. She was there to
help Nita; and until that hapless child
were freed from a peril that, ever
threatening, seemed sapping her very
| life, Margaret Garrison meant to stay.

many OfflcerS VINO nad weakly yle.
TO the importantly of a de9oted wife
was cursing the folly that led him to let
her join him. The outbreak was inI-
minent. Anyone could'see the war was
sure to come-even those who stroye to
Danish alarm and reaSsure an anxious
nation. And when the call to arms
should sound, duty, honor and law
would demand each soldiers instant
answer on the battle line; then who was
to care for the women? The very serv-
ants in each household, it was known,
were in most cases regularly enrolled
in the insurgent army. The crowded
districts in the city, the nipa huts sur
rounding the wealthy homes in the
suburbs swarmed with Filipino soldiery
in the garb of peace. Arms ana ammu-
milton, both, were stored in the great
stone churches. Knives, bolos and pis-
tolls were hidden in every house.
Through the clergy, in some instances,
and foreign residents in others, the
statement was set atloat that every
American officers residence was mapped
and marked, that the Tagals were told
off by name-so many for each house in
proportion to the number of American
inmates-and day after day, awaiting
the signal for their bloody work, were
native devoteeS greeted with servile
bows and studied the habits of the Of
ficers they were designated to fall upon
in their sleep and slay without mercy.
Even women and children were not to
be spared; and many woman, hearing
this grewsome story, trembled in her
terror. For a time, in dread of this new
peril, Nita Frost almost forgot the
other; but not so Margaret. She
scoffed and secuted the rumor of Fill
i2ino outbreak. She laughed at Frost,
who all too evidently believed in it and
was in hourly trepidation. He begged
that the guard at his quarters might be
doubled, and was totally unnerved
| when told it might even have to be re-
| duced. Not so Mrs. Frank. She made
| friends with the stalwart sergeant
| commanding; always had hot coffee
| and sandwiches ready for the midnight
relief; made it point to learn the
name of each successive non-commis-
| stoned officer in charge, and had a win
| some smile and word for the sentries as
she passed. 1t wasn't Filipino aggres-
| sion that she feared. The men won
| dered why she should SO urgently bid
them see that no strangers-Americans
were allowed within the massive
gates. There were tramps, even in Ma
Mia, she said. When the sisters drove,
| their natty little Filipino team flashed
| through the lanes and streets at top
speed, the springy victoria bounding
at their heels to the imminent peril OF
the cockaded hats of the dusky coach
and footman, if not even to the seats of
those trim, white-coated, big-buttoned,
top-booted, impassive little Spanish
bred servitors. The carriage stopped
only at certain designated points, and
only then when group of officers stood
ready to greet them. Not once had they
been menaced by anyone nor ap-
preached by any man even family re-
sembling poor Latrobe; and Witchie
Garrison was beginning to take heart
and look upon that threatening letter
as mad piece of bluff" when one day
the unexpected happened.

THE QUIET HOUR.

Thou knowest all our trials, Lord,
Each sin and need and grief
And Thou hast promised in Thy Word
Sometime to send relief
But Thou hast set task for each,
AS soldiers in a war,
Who storm some point. the height to reach
Through battles thunderous roar.
Help us, for we are faint indeed!
Our little strength increase;
With mamma true our spirits feed,
And bid our fears to cease.
From Thy great white throne far above
Thou dost our conflicts see:
o God of power. Thou God of love.
Our Friend and Helper be.
let purity and truth be ours
While here we dwell below.
Accept and consecrate our powers,
Make every virtue grow.
Lead Thou through each perplexing strife
Be with us all the way.
Lift up our hearts from death to life,
Crown Thou each passing day.
Oh, when our hope is burning low.
Its oil is well-nigh spent.
As up the rugged path we go
The rocky, steep ascent
Be Thine the voice reSounding clear
With victory's thrilling ring,
To tell Thy people Thou art near
The needed aid to bring!

CHOLERA HORROR ADDED.
The Famine In India Takes on New
Terror.


Terror.
LONDON, May THE report that
cholera is strengthening its deadly
hold on famine stricken India brings
the pitiful condition of that country
more than ever to view. About 3d.
500, 900 persons, for this is the popu "a
tion of the district affected, are swell
tering their squalid existences away
amid pestilence and misery that show
no signs of abating. Hundreds of
thousands OF good British gold, good
German marks and good American
corn have been thrown into the coun-
try, but Judging from the latest adj
vices, all this charity is but drop in
the ocean. The famine and it's attend
ant complications appear to exceed in
virulence any two previous visitatIons.
The native states are dotted with heaps
of dead and dying, and the roads are
crowded with CHASTITY Lands seeking
TO escape from the stricken territory,
but who, for lack of food and water,
mostly succumb in the attempt. One
of the most hopeless features in the
whole affair is contained in the state
ment of special correspondent at
Simla, who writes:
Ten times the total relief could be
laid out in a single district without
fully relieving its distress. All we
can hope for is a succession of good
years to put the people on their legs
again"

BRITISH CROSS THE VET.
Lord Roberts's Advance Now Is Miles
North Of Brandfort.

North OF brahuIort.
LONDON, May 5.-The mounted in
fantry with Lord Roberts. among
which are the Canadians, have picket
ed their horses on the south bank of
the Vet river, eighteen miles north of
Brandfort. The head of Lord Rob
erts's columns has thus advanced
thirty-two miles from Karee Siding in
two days, or fifty-three miles north of
Bloemfontein. Little powder was
spent. The British work was hard
marching, the Beers retiring out of
the reach of the British shells.
General French's cavalry are sweep
ing the country northward. The ex-
pectation is that the infantry advance
will be continued toward Kroonstadt
Immediately. Although no prisoners
were taken and no hot pursuit attempt
ed, the news greatly cheers London.
Nevertheless, it has not been attended
the first successes of Lord Roberts.
General Hunters crossing the Vaal at
Windsortown brings the relief of Mafe-
king, 1875 miles beyond, almost within
a calculable interval. 1t is now re-
garded as quite possible that MAIZE
king may be succored before the
queens birthday.
LONDON, May THE news of the
occupation of Brandfort is generally
considered the most important com
munication received from the front
since the capture of General Cronje
and the relief of Ladysmith. The
fact that the position gives the key to
one of the main roads leading to the
Drakensburg passes, which possibly
may be the means of cooperation with
General Butler later on, provides an
advance base of supplies and at the
came time menaces the Beers now
southeast of Bloemfontein, is obviously
the reason for the Importance attached
to the intelligence. The Boer army
which was at Brandfort, commanded
by General Delarey, is presumably re-
firing on Winburg, which will possibly
be the next immediate objective of the
Brandfort, thirty-fye miles nearer the
Transvaal capital, is now Lord Rob-
erts's Headquarters.

Beers Storing Provisions and Construct

LONDON, May 1.-The Lorenzo Mar
quez correspondent of the Daily Mail

"A French steamer has arrived with
10000 bags of coffee and 10000 bags of
sugar, consigned to n syndicate which
is buying for the Pretoria govern
ment. Four more steamers with SINH
lar consignments are expected this
month. 1t is evident that the Trans
vaal intends making a long resistance.
1.-The Beers have begun constructing
Notifications at Lydenbprg, where
they continue to store provisions.
There is also evidence of M intention
to connect the disused Selati railway,
running northwest from Kcmatipooi t.,
with Lydenburg, to destroy the Meth

to hold the Drakensburg range as an
eastern barrier, with Lydenburg as

adopted the campaign would become
very difficult.
