perature, the broiling sun al one moment
and a drenchng rain the next. And even
then they do not escape the ravages of
consumption At 20 or % all have
a chronic cough and none of them
live to the great age attained by the wo-
men porters and tradeswomen. But they
keep right on with their singing and
laughing. Only when one is missing
among them do they stop. Then their
voices are not so loud or so gay. and
the hooking and teasing give way to sad
comments and tender eulogy. At night,
though returning later than usual, for
they work more slowly when they do not
sing. they stop, cross themselves and say
a little prayer for the departed one at
some of the little chapes which are to
be found in almost countless numbers.
One soon gets accustomed in Martinique
to seeing the women doing all sorts of
things, and I was only mildly surprised
to find that even the conduc tors of the tiny
mule propelled streets cars were members
of my own sex, And hustling conductors
they make, as was shown by the first one
l encountered. She bounced" a burly
gentleman of her own color who hadn't
the price with the utmost neatness and
dispatch, never losing her self-posSession
for a moment. A moment later she cried
out to an impatient passenger ATTENDED!
Attendezw meaning "Wait till the car
stops" And all with a show Of strength
and authority that would have made a
Broadway car conductor in New York
look like a school boy.

loon sprang up like a lark from its nest
IN the meadow and was soon out Of hear
ing of the angry owner.
My grandfather told me that farmer s
horse began 10 cut up just as Tom was
severing the rope and that that drew away
the attention of the sightseers. Certainly
there never was a madder man than the
owner of that balloon. and he called the
byEtanders all sorts OF names for not an
terfering to save his precious balloon.
AS for Tod, he was tickled to death. He
waved farewell 20 the crowds below, he
sang snatches of songs and sat on the
edge Of the basket with his legs dangling
over until his mother tainted, and as nc
happened TO see her he drew in his legs.
He did not like to occasion unnecessary
pain.
After he had been in the balloon some
ten hours and had sailed l don't know
how many miles he became very hungry.
and seeing land quarter of a mile above
him he decided to leave the balloon and
take short walk for exercise If he could
fasten mis- anchor anywhere The bal
loonist had an emergency anchor in .he
balloon, and is he hadn't no one woull
ever have heard of Tod again. SO my
grandfather said
He was now some 800 miles above the
earth, higher than any man Of science
has ever been, and yet he did not teel
cold, nor bleed at the ears, nor do any of
those unpleasant things that aeronauts
seem to consider so necessary
That there should be land up in the air
struck him as odd at first, and then he
reflected that there were many things
connected win the heavens that he knew,
nothing about and this land was un.
doubtedly one OF them.
AS he sped past little cape Of land
that Jutted out into the air he was able
70 throw the anchor into a tree and a
moment later the balloon was captive ana

Believed &S~ Worst Has Happened to the
Legations at Pekin.


LoNDON. June o,.-The British war
warship Terrible has arrived at Che
Foo from Taku with the latest news,
which is as follows:
Eight hundred Sikhs and 200 Welsh
Fusileers have effected junction with
the American. German and Russian
forces, which have been cut of by the
Chinese about nine miles from Tlen
Tsin. Ii was proposed TO deliver an as
eault upon the Chinese forces Mt Tlen
Tain Sunday night.
1t is not clear what forces united. II
would seem that one relieving force cut
off had been relieved by another. AT
any rate it is apparently certain that
the allies arrived in sufficient force at
Tien Tsin Sunday to attack the De-
sieging Chinese.
"Forcign official opinions here, says
a dispatch from Shanghai to The DAILY
Express. "incline to believe that the
worst has happened to the legations al
Pekin and to Admiral Seymour as well.
Even if t.,e legations were safe on June
u there is no guarantee that they are
safe now. The situation, in fact, grows
more and more gloomy. The entire ao.
seuce of reliable news from the capital
seems to justify the worst construc'
tions which can be put upon it"

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The officials

the reports from Che Foo that discord
existed between the Russians and the
so-called Anglo Americans. Coming
