any rate Antonita had shown further interest in
the American soldier; but she knew of the bamboo
house and of the visit of Teddy to Manila
The Sixtv-eighth had been stationed at BacolOr
for SO long and the fighting had gradually gone so
far into the interior away from it, that when the
order came to march it was like leaving home. They
would be back in a week or two, the Colonel said
It was only case of heading off band of Filipinos
who were edging down too near the clear land along
the Rio Grande de Ia Pampamga
But it was hard for Teddy. Even weeks separ-
alton when the honeymoon IS in its first quarter is
distinctly unpleasant and he went away from the
bamboo house feeling blue and miserable. When
ConDanv E swung out along the white hot road
from its pa1m-grove camp, there stood still, slim
figure in the tall dry grass under the peppertrees
and watched it pass by with calm grave eyes and
inpassive face; but Private Baxter was looking
straight ahead and did not see it.
Three DAYS later the bamboo shutters were
lowered at the house of Private Baxter. In the
cool of the morning Antonita crossed the garden,
her bare feet treadng lightly in their heeless chnelas
She set her basket down under the shade OF palm,
and o Kio San futtered out to bargain with her
She did not need SO much to-day, she SAID Her

Antonita was sorry 1t the heat. If the
strong Auericamos fell under it. surely their ladies
must suffer still greater.
o Kio San sighed and said the honorable lady
wanted doctor What could she do There was
doctor now that the regiment was gone ana size
dared not bring a native doctor Surely the most
honorable husband when he returned would punish
her if she did!

And the next day, when Antonita came with the
cocoa vine she assured that the honorable
lady had relished a little of the Pomegranate and

wisely he had kept the produce, and Antonita had
accepted the sign of acquiescence and had continued
her wooing in her own silent way.
And that had been all He only had laughed
and chatted with her now and them and had elished

But the code of civil politeness in Luzon differs
from that of Maquoketa, and because the big
brown-eyed solder-boy munched her offerings con-
tentedly, and complirnented her them with a
deferential courtesy and a steady smile Antonta
believed in him, and told her little, shriveled
Tagalog mother to look up the question of her

and grandest of the Americans

The S. W. Nav Change Grade.

It is reported that the South & West
ern will abandon the old grade be-
tween johnson City and Spruce Pine,
distance of sixty-odd miles, over
which trains have been run for several
years, and make an entirely new grade
using the present only in few places.
According to the plans OF the company,
it is stated that the road will cut
through q near route and instead of
following the mountain gorges and
along the streams, the mountains will
be tunneled, the route shortened and
a better grade given. This will require
the digging of several tunnels. Sever
al routes are being surveyed but it has
not been decided by the company which
Of the proposed new routes will be &C.
cepted. This will, when completed,
give new grade for the road almost
over the entire route. Men of expert
ence in railroad building, who have
been over the work say that it will be
the best road ever built south of Penn
! sylvania. The roadbed is being built
wide and with but few curves. Bristol

Freight Trains Collide.

Early last Tuesday morning while
the local yard engine was going to
the Embreeville Junction for train it
collided with an east-bound freight on
the curve just east OF the Soldiers
Home. The engineer of the freight
saw the danger and stopped his engine
but the engineer of the yard engine
continued under a full head Of steam
until the engines struck. The throttle
was found open half hour later.
Fortunately the yard engine had no
train, except caboose, and the impact
was not SO great as it might have been.
The engineer and fireman on the east
bound train were off the engine and
we're not hurt but Engineer Pry and
Fireman Dougherty on the yard engine
were badly bruised but will recover
Conductor Pitts of the yard engine
crew saw the accident was about to
occur, and after doing all he could to
signal the engineer to stop and failing,
jumped to save his life. The caboose
was destroyed. The track was blocked
several hours.

Spruce Pine, N. c., Nov. 6.-The
South & Western extension east of
Spruce Pine has been completed to
the banks OF the Toe river, two and a
half miles from this point. Here a
wait is necessary pending the construc-
tion of the bridge over the river. The
work of putting in the stone abutments
is progressing with vigor, and it is
expected the work will be completed
by January 18th.
In the meantime a great deal of grad
ing is in progress between the river
and Marion, N. c., and there are no
fewer than thirty-five corps of engi-
neers on this piece of road, only
twenty-five miles in length.

The Watauga Electric Company

The Watauga Electric Company is
increasing its business at a remarkable
rate. Mr.. kirkpatrick states that the
rush for electric lights has become 80
great that he has been compelled to
call on a Knoxville firm, the Acme
Electric Company, to do the wiring
and contracting for his company, and
has added an expert solicitor TO his
force to explain the cost and advan-
tages of electricity. The solicitor,
Mr.. Carson, of Knoxville, has had o
great deal Of experience in soliciting,
and can advise the most economical and
most satisfactory arrangement OF light
ing, aud also estimate the cost Of cleo
tricity as compared with other forms
of illumination. We anticipate that
both these progressive companies will
be very successful.
