dozen times she resolved to beg OF
Capt. Baldwin to quit the hotel and go
home to his wife. She thought OF
writing to him, or refusing to take his
letters, of ignoring him, and finally
resolved to do his work if he persisted,
but remain deaf and blind to his per-
sonal attentions as she had done with
every other man at the hotel. But her
tired heart was in flutter again the
moment she got behind the railing OF
her little Office, for she saw the cap
tain strolling nervously about the ro-
tunda. She kept her eyes on her work,
but she knew he was watching her.
Her work was cleared away and she
was ready to leave for luncheon when
he came suddenly to the desk and
said:
"Take a couple of letters, please,
miss?" She did not look up, but she
was aware of a strange, hard note in
his voice. He began with letter to
"Dear Catherine" as usual, and Miss
Barr was wondering what new sub
terfuge he would palm off on his wife,
when he began: "You have been
good sister-in-law to me, and ] hope
you will succeed in satisfying my
brother, that"
Miss Barr's cheeks were aflame with
excitement. Catherine was not his
wife, then She could hear her heart
beat the music of those words. But
when he came to the end of that letter
and said 1.-The fact is, I've made up
my mind to get married and settle
down if the girl will have me-" Miss
Barr got pale again and trembled.
But the worst was to come. She could
have struck him when he leaned
across the rail and said: "Now, want
you to write out proposal for me"
She didn't hear exactly what followed.

and very formal proposal, beginning

comes most unwilling and laggard
servant. Indeed. it is safe to say that
unless encouraged by q cheerful tenn
per and bright or, at least, hopeful
thoughts, the stomach will play tru-
ant, or sulk, or do no good work. The
physiological explanation Of this is the
close alliance Of the great sympathet-

telegraph for carrying bad news; the
work and anxiety which depress the
brain cause simultaneously a semi

gastric juices will not flow - and,
presto, there is indigestion. One sign
of mental health is serenity of temper
and a self-control that enables us to

the famous hoax by which Daniel De-
foe led all London to believe, in IT'S,
that the whole island of St. Vincent
had been blown up and obliterated,
says the London Academy. On the
basis of his own imagination, or on
some thin ship story, Defoe wrote in
Mist's Journal a circumstantial &C.
count of the destruction of this is
land, giving such details as, with all
our facilities of news transmissions,
we wait for in vain to-day. After lead
ing up very gradually to the catastro-

night of the said Goth, about mid
night, the whole island of St. Vim
cent rose up in the air, with a most
dreadful eruption of Fire from under
meath the Earth, and an inconceivable
Noise in the Air at ito rising up, that
it was not only blown, but blown out
of the very sea, with dreadful force,
as if it were torn up by the Roots,
or blown up from the Foundations Of
the Earth" Finally, to bring the event
home to his readers, he recalled an
accident in a foundry In Moorfelds,
where a quantity of liquid gunmetal
coming in contact with some water
had blown up the works-just as

cali the receHt destructive fire in the

PORTO RICAN PROBLEM.
Yenrs VIII BE Required to Overcome
the Difficulties Confronting
InSuiar Control.

Important though the work of the
Porto Rican legislature has been, any
account of it must lay emphasis, says
William +. Willoughby, in Atlantic,
on the fact that such legislation rep
resents but the beginning of the real
work of endowing the island of Porto
Rico with institutions and laws con-
forming to Anglo-SaXon ideals. The
problems that confront the United
States in respect to her insular de-
Tendencies cannot be solved by few
months of legislative activity. The
great questions are questions Of adj
ministration rather than of legisla-
ton. Whether the laws that have
been passed will prove successful or
not will depend wholly upon the man
ner in which they are administered
and the tact and ability with which
the American representatives eXer-
else their delicate functions of con-
trol and supervision. Years will be
required before the difficulties in
volved IN the political problem viii be
brought under control, the new sys-
tenn of local government perfected,
and the thousand and one details OF
the administrative machinery salts
factorily worked out. Only the most
conscientious and sustained activity
on the part of those entrusted with
authority in our insular possessions
will bring about the full realization
of the high aims that the American
people have set before them in re-
spect to the government of the coun-
tries that have lately come under the
protection Of the American flag.

Shot DOWN DnnIsh Elan

In view of the purchase of the DAN
ish West Indies, pardon me for re-
calling an incident Of twenty-odd
years ago that nearly caused serious
international complications. An
American marksman, paying n visit
to Charlotte Amalia, amused the gov
crnor by an exhibition of skill with
the rife. Sitting on the veranda OF
the government house, he said he
could cut with a bullet the signal
halyards on the flagstaff of the fort,
and lower the Danish standard to the
ground. AS the lines were almost in
visible in the distance, the governor
was willing to bet that he could not
do it. The shot rang out and the
flag fell. Presently a horseman
dashed up, informing the governor
that some one had fired on the flag.
There was great excitement. The
governor, none too popular, it seems,
with the military, ruined his political
future by admitting that the affair
was a joke in which he connived. Re-
port being sent to Copenhagen, high
ly colored, of course, by the COM
mandant, his excellency was sum-
maTily remoyed-N. Y. Press.

Make a Human bridge.

A curious custom takes place in viii
lagos of the Luxembourg district, Bel
GUM, in May. After Sunday service
numbers of lads cluster round the
church entrance, and as the girls come
out seize them one by one, one lad
grasping a girl by the shoulder and the
other by the heels, the two lifting her
well UP, while a third pumpkin passes
under the human bridge thus formed.
This is done in the presence of the
parents, who themselves have passed
through the same ordeal.-St. Louis
