When DR.. Bruce and the bishop en-
tered the Sterling mansion, everything
in the usually well appointed household
was in the greatest confusion and ter
ror The great rooms down stairs We're
empty. but overhead were hurried foot
steps and confused noises. One of the
servants ran down the grand staircase
with look of horror on her face just
as the bishop and DR.. Bruce We're start

Miss Felicia is With Mrs. Sterling,
the servant stammered in answer to Il
question and then burst into hyster
ical cry and ran through the drawing
room and out of doors.
At the top of the staircase the two
men were met by Felicia.
She walked up to DR.. Bruce at once
and put both hands in his. The bishop
laid his hand on her head, and the three
stood there Il moment in perfect silence.
The bishop had known Felicia since
she was a child He was the first to
break silence.

The bishop hesitated. Out of the
buried past he had during his hurried
passage from his friend house to this
house of death irresistibly drawn the

there had been a time When the bishop
had offered the incense of a singularly
undivided affection upon the altar OF
his youth to the beautiful Camilla
Rolfe, and she had chosen between hin,
and tsss millionaire The bishop carried
no bissmness with his memory, but ii
was sfsil a memory

FROM NUEVA CACERES.
Otto Rethorst's Interesting Letter-Gold In
the Sands Of the Philippines.

II. Fl. Rethorst has received the
following letter from his SOD, Otto
Relhorst, a lieutenant in the llth
o. S. cavalry, under date Of June
II, 1900. The letter was written from
Nueva Caceres, in the southern part
Of Luzon:
We are again settled down, only
temporarily, but long enough for me
TO write you short letter. We are
10 the province 10 which l told you
we were going. Nueva Caceres is
nearly in the center of the South
Camarines province. Only one prov
ince Of LuZ0n island lies south of this
one, so you see we are near the south
end OF the island.
We have been here only a short
time and don't very well know the
condition Of affairs. As this part OF
this island has been occupied by Our
troops for only few months, things
are not SO settled as they are further
north. There is different tribe OF
FillpinOs found here from the TagalOs
They are called BicOls and are natur-
ally not so warlike, but are aroused
against US by sprinkling OF Tagalos
found among them. The BicOls ap-
pear to be more intelligent tribe OF
FilipinOs than the TagalOs. As any
rate there are more Of them who
speak Spanish.
There are plenty Of insurrectos in
this district but they have no guns,
and they even have scarcely any am.
munition. With proper treatment |
believe these FilipinOs will cause Us
very little trouble.
This is more Of a stock country than
we have fund heretofore. There are
great number Of cattle and horses,
some Of them running wild, as well as
numerous carabOu. The cattle very
much resemble the jersey in size and
appearance and make very good beef.
This is the first native beef have
eaten since | have been on the island,
except that might at some time or
other got hold OF some durable cara
lou In some Of the rotten restaurants
Ct filthy Manila. And that is very
probable. Our commissary pays five
cents a pound for dressed beef bought
OF the natives. That is very reason
able when compared with Manila
prices, which are three and four times
as dear.
The horses are nothing more than
the Philippine ponies. They are
much smaller than Texas ponies and
in America they would be considered
worthless.
This is also a gold region, and IN
less we are kept pretty busy scouting
some Of US are liable to get the gold
fever. The natives ard SpaniardS
say there is gold here, and while cut
scouting lately about twenty miles
from this town we camped along a
river having bed o: sand containinga
considerable quantity OF the yellow
stuff. The gold mines have received
very little attention in Spanish times,
and during the last five or six years
there has been nothing done in the
gold district.
Be sure and let me know how the
wheat is turning out, and how things
are getting along in general. l notice
the prices OF cattle and hogs are high
and horses are selling very good.
Times must be very good and money
plentiful.
That will be all for this time.
