San Diego, July 23.-They buried the

OF the promontory OF Iona, high above

booming surf of the Pacific on the other,

The army and navy paid last tributes,
no less sincere than the simple grief

made the long journey around or across

Promptly at noon the long line of We.

bay to the burial place.
Owing to steep hills and rough roads
it was found impracticable to use hears
es or even dead wagons and the bodies
were stacked in heavy express wagons
and other ordinary vehicles. There were
no bands of music to stir the people
with doeful melody-eyerything was
quiet and business like. From noon
until 3 o'clock these dead burdened wag-
ons toiled toward the burial ground and
not until almost half past four was the
last casket placed in the rock'ribbed
trench. The deep trench in which the
bodies were placed in two rows, feet to
feet, is seventy feet long and fourteen
feet wide. 1t was finished but a few

He and his chief were both poor at

only SO week.
He didn't think the banker would
remember the twenty anniversary

SNllLFUl HUNTING.

Five minutes of thorough systemat
ic search for lost object is often more
effect,lal than half an hour of desul-
tory hunting, which, in its excited
furry, often passes in plain sight the
article which 1t seeks. An example
of this principle is often seen Ill the

family have scrambled vainly ABOUT

she had rolled off. 1t must have been
then that her watch was dropped.

her father would touch on the subject
of their identity during Jack visit; but
Mr.. Mallett did not wish to be made the
topic of gossip among Miss Mailing s
| guests, and therefore kept his own coun-
| sci.
When Jack was about to leave. Mr..
Mallett decided TO walk part of the way
with him. and accordingly went down
stairs first. Jack turned. with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what she had done-yet hardly to thank
her. either.
Il can't go without thanking you for
being so candid with me, Ethel he
said. 'Of course | was very surprised
when | received your letter breaking of
the engagement; but equally of course
there was nothing for me to do but ac-
quiesce in your wish.
Ethel felt how ungenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproachng him, and so
give him cause to justify himself. Her
feelings were too real to bear dlssec-
ton. and she avoided the discussion.
That is all passed" she said, grave
ly; better let it rest"
Though she did not say one word IN
selfdefense, there was a world of re-
proach in the subdued tones of her ad-
vice: though her speech was so indlf-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right to be considered more than blame
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage a
arms; and, as he was carried by the af-
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park, he could not shake from his mind
the fable of the dog and the shadow.

In heap on the table, after reading or
looking at them. Then she turned to the
other side, going through it in the same
way, and reached the bottom without
discovering anything more than is usually
to be found in lady's desk. With a dis
appointed air, she began TO replace the
articles, when Miss Malling's address

She stopped to pick it up as it lay

pressed violets on to the table. She
shuddered when she raised the tissue
paper, for it was the photograph Of a
grave.
She went to the dressing table, where
the candles We're still burning, to read
the name of the photographer at the
back of the card. The printing was in a
language she did not understand; but she
guessed it must be Spanish. She turned
TO the picture again, and in the strong
light she could almost make out part
OF the inscription on the plain headstone,
The first name, she was sure began with
the letter 'P." In order to assist her.

glass and, with the aid of that, she
spelled out the name, or as much of it
she could see

She wiped the perspiration from her
white, quivering face, placed the photo
graph in her dress, and locked the desk
