hotly, speaking of a quarrel he had
with Mr.. Brushton. "He has been
telling things about me- that are rank
untruths."
"How foolish men talk to one an
other" commented Mrs. Beechwood,
placidly.
"What do you mean?" demanded
her husband. "Do you intend to in
sinuate that men talk to each other
more foolishly than women chatter?"
"Of course d." the lady went on,
imperturbably. "Now, women never
try to make each other eat their
words, no matter how angry they may
be-"
Certainly not" retorted Mr.. beech

BRIDGET'S GRIEVANCE.
She Went to Her Mistress Purse and
Found Herself Accused Of
Theft.

The wife of clever detective is
said to have powers nearly equal to
those possessed by her husband, says
London Tit-Bits. Not long ago she
began to notice that sixpences and
shillings were daily disappearing as
if by magic from the change purse"
in which she kept silver for small
purchases. She was inclined to sus-
pect one of her two maids, a sullen
Irish girl, but was unwilling to ac-
cuse her. After some thought she
wrote on a slip of paper: Neither
Bridget nor Celia must take any
money from this purse" This slip
she put into the purse with some sill
yer and awaited developments.
Two days later Bridget came to her
and gave warning"
"What is the matter?" asked her
mistress, innocently.
"Tll be going to another place"
said Bridget, vindictively, land it's
yourself that knows the rayson. I'll
not stay in a house where I'm ac-
cused of stealing money out of lit
tie ould purse that's nivver had more
than half suvran in it since took

because of the complications of the

But when the morrow came, was
it TO be wondered at that Miss Ray

not characteristic that before noon,

Wells to Dottie Fellows, the most

not a woman of their number who

CHAPTER XI.-CoNTINUEp.


The three-century rule of CASTLE
and Aragon was ended. The yellow
and red of Spain were supplanted by
the scarlet, white and blue of Amer
lea, and in new glory of it's own
"Old Glory" unfolded to the family
rising breeze, and all along the curv-
ing shore and over the placid waters
rang out the joyous, life-giving,
heart-stirring notes of the Yankee
reveille.
For long hours later there came
launches, bancas and cascoes from
fleet and shore. The debarkation of
the cavalry began in the afternoon.
They had left their horses at the
Preside, 5000 miles away. and were
troopers only in name. The officers
who came as passengers got ashore
in the course of the day and made
their way to the Ayuntamiento to re-
port their arrival and receive their
assignments.
The Red Cross nurses looked in
vain for the hospital launch that, it
was supposed, would hasten to con-
vey them to comfortable quarters adj
camps. They listened with the deep
est interest to the description of the
assault of the 18th of August that
made Merritt master of Manila, and
the elders, masculine and feminine,
who knew something of what battle
meant when American was pitted
against American, looked at each
other in wonderment as they heard
how much had been won at cost of
SO little.
Sandy Ray, kissing Marion good-by
and promising to see Stuyvesant in
the near future, went over the side
with his troop and, landing at the
stone dock at the foot of the Paseo
de Santa Lucia, found himself; trudg-
ing along at the head of his men un-
der massive walls nearly three CEN
turtles old, bristling with Anticipated,
highly ornamented Spanish guns, and
streaked with slime and vegetation,
while along the high parapets across
the moat thousands. of Spanish SOL
diers squatted and stared at them in
sullen apathy.
Maidie's knight and champion in
deed! His duty called him with his
fellows to a far-away suburb up the
Pasig river. Her duty held her to
await the movements of thu sister
hood, and what she might lack for
sympathy among them was made up
in manifest yet embarrassing inter
est on part of the tall young aide-de-
camp, for Stuyvesant was hidden to
remain aboard ship until suitable ac-
commodation could be found for him
ashore.
Under any other circumstances he
would have objected vehemently, but,
finding that the Red Cross contingent
was to share his fate, and that Miss
Ray was one of the dozen condemned

I have the pleasure?"
There was no installing the gener-
ais disapprobation of the official
head of the sisterhood as represented
on the Sacramento. Though he and
his officers remained aboard an hour,
not once again would he look to-
wards DIR. Wells or seem to see any
of the PARTY but Miss Ray-this, too,
despite the fact that she tried to ex-
plain matters and pour oil on such
troubled waters.
Capt. Butt sent up champagne to
the distinguished party, and Miss
Ray begged to be excused and slipped
away to her stateroom, only to be in
stantly recalled by other cards
Col. and Mrs. Brent, other old friends
of her father and mother. She re-
membered them well, and remem-
bered having heard how Mrs. Brent
had braved all opposition and had
started for Hong-Kong the day after
the colonel steamed for Manila; and
their coming with most hospitable
intent only added to the poor girls
perplexities, for they showered well
comes upon her and babe her get her
luggage up at once. They had come
to take her to their own roof. They
had secured such quaint, roomy
house in Ermita right near the bay
shore, and looking right out on the
Luneta and the parade grounds.
They stormed at her plea that she
must not leave her companions. They
babe her send for Miss Porter, and
included her in their warm-hearted
invitation; but by the time Maidie
was able to get word in edgewise
on her own account, and begged them
to come and meet Mrs. DR.. Wells and
the Red Cross sisterhood, they de-
INJURED.
The general, in Marion's brief alb
sence, had expressed his opinion of
that official head, and the Brents had
evidently accepted his views. Then
Vinton and his officers loudly begged
Mrs. Brent to play chaperon and per-
suade Miss Ray and Miss Porter to
accompany them in their>fine white
launch in visit to the admiral on the
flag ship, and said nothing about 9TH
ers of the order.
The idea of seeing Dewey on his
own deck and being shown all over
the Olympia! Why, it was glorious!
But Miss Ray faltered her refusal,
even against Miss Porter's imploring
eyes. Then Stuyvesant declared he
didn't feel up to it.
The general went off to the fleet
and the Brents back to the shore
without the girls. But in the course
of the afternoon four more officers
came to tender their services to
BILLY Rays daughter" and none, not
even a hospital steward, came to do
aught for the Red Cross, and by sun
down Maidie Ray had every assurance
that the most popular girl at that
moment in Manila army circles was
the least popular aboard the Sacra-
mento, and Kate Porter cried herself
to sleep after an out-and-out squab-

THE NEED OF SOLITUDE.

Probably the severest test of friend
ship is to be found when circumstances
compel two friends to be continually
together. 1t is a test which no
friendship can permanently endure.
and the explanation is not to be found
in the cynical remark that there is no
such thing as friendship. and that this
fact proves it. The underlying princi-
pie is one that is very profound in
deed. because it belongs to some
thing which in sensitive natures ex-
lists eternally.
The average individual is apt to be
gregarious in the full sense of the
word. He always wishes to have
somebody about him whom he knows.
