In simple words she told him of her
separation from her husband, the
birth of her child her weeks of weary
waiting, and the eyes Of the dark man
grew soft with pity.
Turning to the purser, he said:
''Let this woman go ashore" Then

Giving her some money he told her to

the adjutant was unable to decide

dressed himself to the habitable globe
with as good an assumption Of conf
dence as lay in his power. "Just stop
rotating, will your" said Mr.. Fotherin-
gay.
Incontinently he was flying head
over heels through the air at the rate
Of dozens of miles minute. In spite
of the innumerable circles ne was de-
scribing per second he thought, for
thought is wonderful, sometimes as
sluggish as flowing pitch, sometimes
as instantaneous as light. He thought
in a second and willed: "Let me come
down safe and sound. Whatever else
happens, let me down safe and sound."
He willed it only just in time, for
his clothes, heated by his rapid fight
through the air, were already begin
ming to SINCE. He came down with a
forcible but by no means injurious
bump in what appeared to be mound
of fresh turned earth. A large mass of
metal and masonry, extraordinarily
like the clock tower in the middle Of
the market square, hit the earth near
him, ricochetted over him and flew
into stonework, bricks and masonry,
like bursting bomb. A hurtling COW
hit one of the larger blocks and smash
ed like an egg. There was a crash
that made all the most violent crashes
of his past life seem like the sound
of falling dust, and this was followed
by descending series of lesser
crashes. A vast wind roared through
out earth and heaven, so that he could
scarcely lift his head to look. For
awhile he was too breathless and as
tonished even to see where he was or
what had happened, and his first
movement was to feel his head and
reassure himself that his streaming
hair was still his own.

scarce able to speak for the gale. "I've
had squeak! What's gone wrong?
Storms and thunder, and only a minute

even there it looks like terrific gale

The Gentle Reader.

What has become of the gentle read
er? asks Samuel M. Crothers in The
Atlantic. One does not like to think
that he has passed away with the
stagecoach and the weekly news letter
and that henceforth we are to be con-
fronted only with the stony glare Of the
intelligent reading public. Once upon
a time-that is to say, generation or
two ago-he was very highly esteemed.
To him books were dedicated with long
rambling prefaces and with episodes
which were their own excuse for being.
In the very middle Of the story the
writer would stop with a word of apol-
ogy or explanation addressed to the
gentle reader or at the very least with
nod or wink no matter if the fate
of the hero be in suspense or the plot
be inextricably involved.
Hang the plotw says the author. II
must have chat with the gentle read
er and find out what he thinks about
it."
/. And so condolences were Interchange
ed, and there was gossip about the uni
verse and suggestions in regard to the
queerness of human nature until at
last the author would Jump up with:
Enough of this, gentle reader; perhaps
it's time to 60 back to the story"

Mis-. Kingsley ana the Gorill...

On the Gabun river Miss Mary
Kingsley's guide one day called to her
to creep quietly through the bushes
and then she saw family Of five 90
rillas-an old male, three females and
a young one. The guide sneezed, which;
alarmed the gorillas, and they fed
with bark and a howl, the old male
swinging from bough to bough like an
acrobat on trapeze.
On another day Miss Kingsley and
her two guides came suddenly upon a
solitary male gorilla, who, as usual,
had appropriated a forest glade as q
park for his private enjoyment. Flu
rious at the intrusion, the brute, In
stead of fleeing, came stumbling to-
ward them, growing fercely. "Shoot
him." whispered Miss Kingsley. II
dare not said the guide, until he
comes quite close. I have only one
gun. The other is out of order. II I
miss, he will kill u.s.
The gorilla came nearer. Rearing
himself on his hind legs he beat his
breast and roared, just as Du Chaillu
described long ago. Then, running for
ward, he stopped and reared again and
again ran forward until quite close.
Then the guide fired and the gorilla
dropped dead.-Chambers' Journal.

Suffice it that they were designed in a

A Jockeys Sensation when Riding.

A Jockeys Sensation when Riding.
eff you ride with your head down
that Is IT, say, bent slightly, SO that the
wind does not beat right on to your
face-you can breathe easily, but IL you
hold your mouth wide open and let the
air beat right in your face then you
will have great difficulty in breathing,
and If the race is a long one you will
become exhausted by the end of the
ride" So said well known jockey
when questioned on the subject Of
what his sensations were when riding
in race.
"a mile race on a good horse is run
in about 1 minute and 40 seconds. A
mile in minute and 40 seconds is at
the rate of 36 miles an hour, so, you
see, a race horse travels at train speed.
eff you want to know how it feels to
go through the air at race horse speed,
just hang your head out of railway
carriage window, turning your face to-
ward the way the train is travelling.
At the same time imagine that you are
sitting in saddle and have to hold on
to your horse and guide him on to vic
tory if possible, keeping him from be-
ing run down or interfered with.
''It is no easy task to ride horse in a
race. The jockey must have all his
wits about him. He does not have
much time to think how he feels. When
riding in neck and neck race down
the home stretch. forget everything
except thatfI must strain every nerve
to pass the other horses. No thought is
then given to the plaudits from the
grand stand''

1t is unnecessary TO enter into the
history of the acquisition OF these Is
lands. You are already too well ac
quainted with that history. 1t is suf'
ficient to say. however, that the Phil
ippine Islands, In the main, have been
acquired in the same manner in which
the territory of Louisiana, Alabama
and other portions which now consti
tute the geographical area of the United
States, namely by purchase and with
out the consent OF the Inhabitants. In
the same manner these Islands now
in question came into our possession.
1t will be remembered that the Lou

the States Of Louisiana, Arkansas, Nis'

and South Dakota, hentana, Oklsho'
ms, the Indian Territory and NEST of

Party, the eminent Statesman and Pa
triot whom the present Democratic
Party holds up as the embodiment of
of constitutional rectitude, and with
whom Mr. Bryan himself claims disci.
pleship. The result Of that purchase
has been so bene fetal that no American
citizen, Democrat or Republican, would
now say aught against the wisdom Of
that transaction. 1t was the policy OF
Jefferson's administration TO annex
that territory to the United States, and
did annex ID. But 1t is not the policy

to put down insurrection. to establish q
