Battle of TeI-eI-kebir.

On September the British under
Sir Garnet Wolseley was attacked by
Arab Pasha's forces at Kassassin and
the latter were repulsed and fell back
to the intrenchments at Tel-el-Kebir.
On the night of September IL the Brit
ish broke camp at Kassassin, removed
their baggage to the railway and with
an army of $4,000 marched silently and
in the dark toward Tel-el-Kebir. The
army halted before dawn within LOCO
yards of the fertilization without hav-
ing been discovered. There the lines
were formed and the battle began. The
English carried the intrenchments and
completely routed the Egyptians
Thousands of the latter were killed
and about 8 900 taken prisoners. Ara
bi Pasha was taken prisoner two days
later at Cairo and his power complete
ly crushed. In the negotiations which
followed Great Britain practically
gained control of Egypt.

first glance-a girl, or a young wo-
man. swimming toward shore. her rosy
face turned to one side, her white arms
cleaning through the little whirl of
foam that she made with long, grace
ful, overland strokes
But before Van Holden had decided
that a noiseless retreat was his cue.
she caught sight of him; and then.
with a little scream. seemingly more
of fright than surprise. she turned
quickly and started seaward again
But something seemed to retard her
progress, and in a moment more the
golden head, with masses of soft hair
piled high upon it, had disappeared
beneath the water.

and looked up at him for moment
without speaking. Then:
"You are good" she said slowly;
you are strong, too. I think I like
you very much" Ere he could stop
her, she stood on tiptoes, pressed her
pretty lips to his, and turned and ran
feetly away toward the hotel In the
far distance. Van Holden smiled and
called after her, Goodbye, little mer-

She paused a moment to wave her

By five O'Clock that afternoon Van

scene in the room which Mr.. Moran
occupied at the seaside hotel. At the

NO THIRD TERM.

Depew has precipitated the
discussion of a third Presiden-

very emphatically that he
would not accept the nom
