a few minutes had made an adventurous
exit by a Misunderstanding the grating
bolts of the door-and was soon strolling
across the grounds by the private path,
which knew led through the churchyard,
and afterwards down to the river bank.
With Ethelwynn had walked across
the meadows by that path on several oc-
casions, and in the dead silence Of the
brilliant night vivid recollections of a
warm summers evening long past came
back to me-sweet rernembrances Of days
when, we were childishly happy in each

Nothing broke the quiet save the shrill
cry of some night bird down by the river,
and the low roar Of the distant weir. The
sky was cloudless, and the moon so bright
that I could have read a newspaper. T
strolled on slowly, breathing the refresh
ing air, and thinking deeply over the COM
plications of the situation. In the final
hour'I had spent in the drawing room I
had certainly detected in the young widow
a slight eccentricity of manner not at all
accentuated, but yet sufficient to show
me that she had been strenuOusly conceal

Having swung myself over the stile T
passed round the village churchyard,
where the mOss-groWn grave stones stood
grim and ghostly in the white light, and
out across the meadows, down to where
the waters Of the river Meme ripping on,
were touched with silver The river was
wide, running by the winding bank, away
to Peterborough and beyond. AS I gained
the rivers edge and walked beneaths the
willows I heard now and then a sharp,
swift rustling in the sedges, as some
water rat or other, disturbed by my pres
ence, slipped away into hiding. The rural
peace of that brilliant night attracted me,

SAN MIGUEL BUSY
Insurgents or Ladrones Fight Phil
ippines.

Manila, Feb. PA force of 1adrones
under General San Miguel reappeared in
Rial province yesterday. They avoided
an engagement with the main force In the
south, but they captured three small de-
tachments Of constabulary. The enemy
surrounded the towns Of Cainta and Tay-
tay, eleven miles east Of Manila, Saturday,
and captured thirty scouts and ten men of
the constabulary, whom they disarmed
and set free.
To-day Inspector McIlwaine, at the
head of ten constabulary, was surprised
and captured near Montalban, sixteen
miles northeast Of Manila. The ladrones
promised to release them if the constab-
ulary would surrender their arms. While
they were comforting on this point, Nc
Ilwaine made a dash for liberty and he
and all the constabulary effected their
escape.
San Miguel claims the insurgent lead
ership and fights under the Katipunan
flag.

 With their entire wardrobes on their backs and not cent of money in their pockets Samuel Justus and his bride, Elizabeth, left Louisville recently for St. Louis to continue their wedding trip. The two were married in Edward, N. C., several weeks ago, but the pros poets for honeymoon anywhere ex- cept among their native hills looked bad.
 Then the bride had an idea that the charity organizations in the various large cities might provide one. The first one they applied to was ill Charles ton, $. O., and they were sent to Allan ta within a week. The next stopping place was Savannah. From there they went to nearly every southern state, always being well received.
 They reached Louisville and repeated their tale. Mayor Grainger gave them passes to St. Louis and wired the char tty organization in that city that they were coming. He soon received q tele- gram saying that the couple had al- ready been in St. Louis and had worked the society for transportation to Kansas City.
