astir. Farewells were said that wrung
 tears from gentle eyes and brought in Idiscribable anguish to loving hearts. Only young Capt. Arnold West seemed unmoved by the grief which parting brings. Death had robbed him of his hearts best treasure, and the far of attlefeld welcomed him with bloody outstretched arms. He responded gladly to humanity's call and the dear flag went with him.
 In the steaming trenches before Stnti- ago, a young private lay dying. His
 side had been torn open by a shell, and from the ghastly wound his life oozed away He seemed oblivious to his sur
 roundings, and his glassy eyes and iiv- i'd paindrawn features told unmistak-
 ably of the near approach of death. Around him were the dead and the dying. Groans and curses and prayers mingled with the oar of the battle,
 and his feeble cries for water were
 drowned in the fearful din. The noon-
 tide sun beat down unmercifully on his bare head "oh, for some kind shelter and for one drop of water?" He dip ped a finger in the pool of blood at his side and pressed 1t to his lips. ''Heav- en for just one drop of water?" he groaned.
 Suddenly some one raised his head and pressed a canteen to his parched lips The mist of death that was gath ering in his eyes. for a moment cleared away. He looked up in the face of lis good Samaritan and smiled Then a look of recognition flashed into his eyes. Arnold" he whispered! live failed to do my duty as citizen, but not as a soldier. For the sake of the flag under which we are both fighting, will you-can you forgive.
 He paused as strength failed him. The beseeching gaze he riveted on Capt. Vests face melted the heart of the be- reaved lover. and swept away the bit terness of years. He grasped the hand of the dying soldier and bending down over him with all the tenderness of a woman, he said in broken voice:
 Yes, Will, forgive-for Nelrs sweet sake, and for the sake of the flag?"

 And you are to resign your position in the army"
 The young man was silent A bril- iant future seemed to open before him. Love and duty had struggled long and hard with ambition, but love won He was now ready to tear off his military trappings, and cast them without a murmur at the feet of the woman he loved.
 He is not a hero who faIters when duty demands a costly sacrifice" he murmured.
 Nell is my affanced. She was so before that dreadful accident. The promise I then gave her can never be broken. My country does not need my service now. Nell does.'
 He touched the shining folds of the beautiful flag reverently.
 God, duty. love, home and humanity these are my watchwords. When my country needs me am ready!'
 The early spring blossoms were just opening their pale blue eyes to the light. and the newly arrived robins and larks were enrolling gaily, when the news of our declaration of war with Spain. spread like wild-fire over the country The fierce hatred of opress- ion. that Is always lurking in the heart of every true American, suddenly burst forth into the stirring cry Cuba Li- bre?'

The major had a method of running up bills with local tradesmen, but there was great diffi- culty in getting payment, as none of the bill collectors were venturesome enough to cross the guardian at the door. It was a great joke of the ma jor's when asked to pay his bill to re- ply: Have you sent your bill? Your man has never presented it at my house."

Its white rays fell on the folds of a beautiful silk flag which hung across the back of an invalids s chair revealing in the uncertain flick erfnK light that fell through the leaves of the clustering ivy, dark field set with stars, and billowy folds of stripes--crimson and white-the work of the patriotic teachers nimble fng- CTS.

 Arnold will carry it at the head of the procession tomorrow. Dear flag, she murmured as she stretched out her arms toward the beautiful ensign, your colors symbolize the character istic of our young love. True as the azure of the sky overhead, steadfast as a star and warm as the crimson tide which feeds the patriots heart. To- day, dear flag, he whom I cherish with an undying affection, will bear thee aIoft, because in all the village there is none as worthy as he.".
 She lay there thinking, thinking weaving a beautiful fabric of dreams such as love and youth alone can dream, while the late moon dropped down be- hind the rim of the western horizon. and the darkness which preceedes the dawn filled the room.
 Day, rosy and bright, marched tri- umphantly through the gates of the east. The noises in the street grew more tumultuous. The bonfires died out on the surrounding hill tops. and from the upper windows of stores and factories. long streamers of gay bunt- ing fluttered in the morning breeze.

Presently, howev- CT. a Good Samaritan came by and taking pity on the wounded mans plight. helped him on his mule and took him to an inn. where he ordered food and drink and raiment for the man.

Hide Under 5000. 900 Eyes.

The detective bureau of New York receives an average of 100 queries day regarding missing persons of all classes who have disappeared from all parts of the world. The majority of these inquiries relate to criminal fugi- lives. The experience of the western police Is that a man who has run off with lot of money Is very apt to head for New York. It is a fact fully estab- lished that most of the western bur glars go to New York to spend their money on the races or at gambling of some kind. The lights of the tender loin seem to attract these people. and many of them have been caught through yielding to this weakness. Yet a real gentleman burglar would have a better chance to hide in New York than anywhere else if he knew how to work the game.

Prof. Fowler Begins q Series Of Lectures.
Other Notes From the University.

Yesterday afternoon Prof Fowler, head
OF the department Of Biblical literature.
gave the first Of series Of talks on 1.-The
College Man and His Bible After
short introduction to the whole course
Prof. Fowler spoke about the relation OF
college man to the so-called higher
criticism. He said in part as follows:
The term higher criticism" never use
myself and is seldom used by any Biblical
students. The term has been wrongly
used so much that II now has little
unpleasant taint attached to II. What Is
meant by higher criticism Is really lit
erary criticism and historical criticism.
Just as we study other works Of literature
and the histories of other people so we
study this literature OF the Bible and
the history OF the Hebrew race. We find
many contradictions in the Bible which
without this criticism, without using
these modern methods. must necessarily
puzzle and perplex US BY using these
methods they are simplicity itself. Many
people ask Is II right to so criticise the
Bible? In answer to this l say that the
thinking college man cannot help but
meet these problems. He VIII meet them
and what is he going To do with them?
Shall he resolutely say that he will not
face them squarely and manfully, that
no will keep on In the old belief. III he
does this he Is no better than a Moham-
traitor 10 the truth and TO this mind.
Others may refuse to face the problem

bound TO think them through. But just

one that he has thought out and holds
