How few of US there are who
make our lives into anything! We
accept our limitations, we drift with
them, while we Indignantly assert
the freedom of the will. The best
sermon in the world is to hear of
one who has struggled with Life,
bent or trained it to his will, pluck
ed or rejected its fruit, but all upon
some principle. It matters little
what we do; it matters enormously
how we do it.--Cornhill Magazine.

At last with October came the wan

brought active fighting. A general
movement Of the troops was directed
against Aguinaldo. In his prime as a
leader he controlled the north, and his
capture was imperative Lawton and
Young began operations on the right.
Macarthur on the center, with Whea-
ton pushing forward on the extreme
left. The insurgents fell back &, from
Tarlac. There were many big fights at
San Jacinto and other places now IA
nous in history.
The Red Cross society held forth at
Malolos. reaching gradually into the
country north. Sick and wounded men
came into the hospitals daily and in
larger numbers than one would have
supposed. The villages. or barrios, all
along the line Of advance saw their
converts turned into hospitals. As fast
as possible the nurses were hurried up
to them. Men and women in this noble
service did heroic. faithful work both

the men were taken to the converts
and treated until they were able to be
moved to Manila. =
Further north ned Aguinaldo and
the Filipinos. Wheaton was ordered
to cut OF bis retreat; Young was killed;
Cunningham took charge Of the scouts
who secured the country. Parties of
ten to fifteen picked men fell out in
advance Of the main body. seeking to
develop the enemy and his defenses.
These brave fellows attracted the hid
den IRE of ambush. exposed them
selves to all the treacheries Of war
fare and afterward were mustered out
with kind word from the department.
They were the men who tested the ter
ritory. 1t was with one Of these
scouting parties that Graydon Ban
semer ventured far into the enemy's
country early in November.

into the danger fields. inviting the
American pursuers into every trap
which his crafty brain could devise.
Captain Groce, with company Of in
fantry. was following him closely and
doggedly into the Businesses far to the
north. Village after village was dew
astated by the white troops, always a
few hours after the willy Pillar had
evacuated. Amigos laughed in their
deceptive sleeves at the Americans and
misdirected them with IMMUNITY. In
eight cases out Of ten the amigo wore
arms underneath his garment of friend
ship and slew in the dark whenever
opportunity arose. Graydon Bansemer
was one OF this doughty. eager COM
pany which blazed the way into the
bills. Close behind came the bigger
and stronger forces. with guns and
horse. and the hospital corps. 1t was
the hunt Of death for Aguinaldo and

Irksome were the lazy summer
months for Jane. She tired of the at
tentions of men; she sickened with
longing and anxiety. Day after day
she prayed that the troops in the
north might he relieved. She watched
for the order that would call for their
return from the wet lands above. Sick
ness was prevalent among the fighting
corps the wet season had undermined
the health of many. Constant news
came down to Manila of the minor en-
gagements, and she looked at every
report for news Of Graydon. Colonel
Hardin occasionally had private adj
vices from the north. She heard of
Graydon's bravery more than once and
glowed with pride. Down in her tired
anxious heart she was wondering IL 1t
