travelling in Java, says the London
Chronicle. He CHANGED to stop one
day at Sourabaya, where the Javanese

fact that in the treatment of such
cases as necessitated an anaesthetic
the native physicians did not resort to

this method of anaesthesia, although
unknown to modern surgery, was in

SAILING Away.

Sailing away with the wind abeam,
And the wide. wide sea before;
Sailing away in lovers dream
To tl@ port of the golden shore;
Idle hands on the rudd'r bands,
Hope in the sunrise fair
And the hearts as light as the sea bird

Anoat In the morning air.
Love. in the dawn of that far-off time,
Did you guess of the weary way?
Dearest! when life seemed a summer
rhyme
Could we tell where we went astray?
Silent tears through the coming years,
Darkness for you and mo,
And doubt and dread of the wilds aheaN
Fell chill as we sailed a-sea.
Sailing ashore with waning wind
on tho glass of n dreaming tide
Leaving the dark of the deep behind
For the light of the other side;
Loosen hands from the rudder bands!
Ali to the margin foam
Comes breath of land DER the golden

Oh, sweet is our welcome home!

THE SPANISH WAY.
BY DON CLARK WILSON
(corrMeHr 1902 BY DAILY STORY PuB1lsH1SG Coz

Il was remarked at the OiflcerS
mess in the Exposition barracks that
young Lieut.. Fogarty was caught in
the meshes of the senorita's .Gscina-
tipns, and that if he was not watch
full of his sentiment he would some
day turn traitor to his country for her
sake, like the notorious Howard, and
fight against Uncle Sam in the in
surrecto army. But Fogarty, who once
or twice overheard talk of TINS kind,
smiled loftiy and treated his little
Irritation with the senorita as trivial
affair, matter of jest, the diversion
of a gentleman-and continued the
Irritation,
On the Luneta, one night, when the
Sixth artillery band was giving an
open air concert, his eye was caught
by dark-eyed, voluptuous Spanish
beauty in an open Stanhope, and he
never. rested until he had formed her
acquaintance. Now, this was a most
difficult matter to accomplish, for
Spanish old world ideas of propriety
and all that had to be circumvented,
q the naughty old padre and madre OF
the girl had to be reconciled to his
advances, and the girls Unborn preju-
dice against anything and everything
American had to be overcome. Then
there was also an absurd Fellow
named Loretto Cervillo an ex-ofiicer
of the defeated Spanish army, who
4 claimed the senorita as his affianced.
Senorita Lola did not evinoe any
especial affection for him; she did not
glye way-to those bursts vi Spanish
passion he had read of SO often IN
fiction; and 1t struck coldly on his ar
dor at times to think that possibly she
was trifing with him. and that her
acceptance of his attentions was
prompted merely and solely from a
love of diversion and excitement.
One night the lieutenant left the
Reserve hospital on Gale Las Vegas,
and jumping into a passing caromet-
ia, drove to the Teatro Libertad,
where he had an appointment with
her.
At the entrance he paused and cast
his eyes over the audience. 1t was q
gay scene. gorgeously colored, with
laughing groups at the tables and in
the boxes; gathering of Spaniards
civilians and ex-soldiers, of American
officers and dark-eyed damsels here
ard there, of elite Filipino mestezzos
and their escorts, of American sol
diers in spotted khaki and limp gray
hats. Lieut.. Fogarty paid scant
attention to all this, however; his eye
anxiously sought for the pretty face
Z of Lola, and at last he found her.
Found her seated at table in re
mote corner near some curtains, chat

is exciting!-two angry soldiers!"
Cervillo scowled back hatred at Fo-
garty. Fogarty shifted sarcastically
at Ceryillo and Lola laughed in a
burst of enchantment.
"Senors,' she said, at is beautiful!
Teniente," to Fogarty, will you

She poured out a glass of absinthe
then tossed the lieutenant a pack of
native cigarillos, and herself lighted
one, which she smoked with exquisite
grace and abandon.
Cervillo turned slightly away, puff
ing sull1ily at a cigarette, and glared
savagely at the dancer on the stage,
as though the sight of Fogarty was
intolerable.

Fogarty sullSily pulled at the cigar

crowd After silence Fogarty tossed
his cigarillo away impatiently, took
the senoritas hand in his, and said:
