A vOODOO WOMAN.

"When Captain Hassell organized the
American scouts as separate com
pany Boots decided to join his country
men. Boots has a horse to ride, but
his ambition is to possess pony of his
own, and a Mauser carblne so he can
fight like the other scouts. For the
purchase of pony he has saved up e.
and shillings, which will buy no horse
in South Africa in war time. So Boots
has to go without a pony until better
times. But he has hopes of capturing
one from the British.
Meanwhile, since he cannot fight
like a full-grown man, he makes him

Legend of a spring.

Swimming about h a large marble
lined tank in a small church just out
side Constantinopie are to be seen a
number of fishes, brown on one side
and white on the other. These, 1t is
said, are the descendants of the ones
that gave the name tBalukli' place of
fishes) to the church. The legend is as
follows: At the time of the invasion OF
Constantinople by the Turks, a monk
was cooking fish near a spring OF
water, where the little church now
stands, when a messenger rode up in
haste, announcing 'The city is taken!'
Discrediting the story, the monk de
clared that he would sooner believe
that the half-cooked fish before him
would jump back into the water. As
he spoke, the fish. so the story goes

engaged In thought, and never before had
she looked so lovely to Henry, who as
he gazed upon her felt a glow OF pride In
thinking that fair young girl could be his
for the asking.
"And so my little pet is Alone" said
he, coming forward, and raising to his
lips the dainty fingers which Ella extend
ed toward him. II hope the old aunty is
out" he continued, "for | want to see
you on special business"
Ella noticed how excited he appeared,
and always on the alert for something
when he was with her, she began to

said asked him what he wanted OF herr
"Zoundsw thought Henry, "she meets
me more than half way" and then. lest
his resolution should fail, he reseated her
in the chair she had left, and drawing an
ottoman to her side hastily told her of
his love, ending his declaration by saying
that from the first time ne saw her he
had determined that she should be his
wife! And Ella, wholly deceived, allow
ed her head to droop upon his shoulder,
while she whispered to him her answer.
Thus they were betrothed-Henry Lin
coin and Ella Campbell.
"Glad am | 10 be out OF that atmos'

gan to breathe more freely. Goodness

was turning the corner.
Looking up, he met Mary Howard's 5
large dark eyes fixed rather inquiringly
upon him. She was accompanied by one
of Mr.. Selden's servants, and he felt
sure she was going to visit her sister. OF
course, Ella would tell her all, and what
must Mary think OF one who could so
soon repeat his vows Of love to another!
In all the world there was not an indi-
vidual for whose good opinion Henry Lin
coin cared one-half so much as for Mary
Howard's; and the thought that he
should now surely lose 1t maddened him.

The Phantom Shin,

While the captain Of an English
steamer was standing on the bridge Of
his vessel as it passed down the Eng
lish Channel, a thick fog came on and
he began to sound the fog-horn. To
his dismay, after he had sounded the
signal, he heard the "Boo-o-o" of the
horn repeated directly ahead of him.
He turned the ships head sharply to
the right to avoid a collision and
sounded another warning. The vessel
was put back on its former track and
the fog-horn sounded, with the same
result.
II could not make it out" said the
captain, in narrating the story, 'and a
strange feeling of superstitious awe be-
gan to creep over me- Just as l was
giving myself one last pull together the
lookout man called:
"Tt's the old coo, sirP
"And so it was-the COW kept in the
forecastle for the use Of the ship. Tn.
doubtedly she took the sound of the
fog-horn for the cry of a companion in
distress, and gave sympathetic re-
sponse.

telegraphlst, to whom he took the
nearest approach to fancy his stern
nature would allow. After Khartoum
the telegraphist heard that his mother
was Ill and in want at home. He ap-

entitled. Kitchener sent for him. and
demanded to know why he wished to
leave. The man explained.

mother without going home, sirY' ask.
ed Kitchener.
"Td rather go home, sir" replied the
operator.
"Oh, very WELL" said Kitchener,
closing the interview abruptly. "YOu
know your own business best. Thatll
do"
The day came for the telegraphist to
leave, and he went to bid his chief
good-by.
"Ah,' said Kitchener, you're fool
to 60. | would have given you good
post had you stayed. I'm very busy
good-by."
The man saluted and was retiring,
when Kitchener called out:
Here just take this note to the pay
master for me-"
The note was delivered, and the
bearer was walking away when he
whom the irreverent subalterns call
'Shoyelpenny" called him back.
'T'm to give you this, by the Gener-
ais orders" he said.
