ing of the DIST of December when we
discovered the works in our front

had to live almost entirely on rice.
for it was some time after Fort Meal
lister was taken before roads could
be built to the landing on the ogee-
chez and a supply of food be got to
us. But. since our campaign had
thus terminated successfully, we
were content to celebrate the ocea-

thanksgiving. The following holiday

marched into the city. and icr nearly

Jeanne starts. and finds her voice.
Marry hint she says almost in

He stops and fronts her. the light
Of passion blazing in his eyes.
All, he says, that touches you.
You see know all. win YOU deny
that he loved you, that he offered to

Jeanne looks at him steadily; her
face is very pale, but her eyes are
flashing.
Not" she says. not inaudibly now,
hough not loudly.

so the Jeanne of the last few months
yielding gentle, loving and softened
seems to give place to the old

It IS the old Jeanne that speaks,
Jeanne before love came nd con-
quered her, and the pas ion and
pride in that "Nc!" are - intense
and marked as his own.
DO you not deny it he says,
maddened more by the ye.y absence
Of the denial. for he has hoped that at

letter is false "You do not deny it,

norant of the meaning of the word.
You came to me with the placid smile

With a groan, he filings himself in a
chair but he starts UP the next mo-
ment with a harsh, bitter laugh.
And IL poured out my confession
Of my former life and loves, deeming

gained it. Are you happy?'
Jeanne looks up. as he extends a
hand to her with a bitter laugh;
looks up, then around her, as if seek
ing some refuge from his mad pas
sion. But there is none. With a
low cry she throws up her arms to
her face.
LET me go home-let me go
home" she means.
He laughs sardonically.
Go back" he says. ''Will that heal
all you have done? Will that make
reparation for your falsehood? Ii you
go, viii you leave me the Jeanne |
love, or orly the remembrance of the
marchloness whom despise?"
AS if lis words were the knotted
thongs Of an actual scourge, she
starts and shsiaks back from him.
Then she draws herself to her full
height and looks at him, her lips
set. her eyes flashing: If there have
been any Gears in them, they are
burnt up now by the FIRE Of wounded

pensions, the army and navy, the
courts, lighthouses, the foreign service
and all the departments at the capital.
Of this sum $7.33 on the average falls
on each inhabitant. Set this over
against 1861, the average cost per
capita of local rule in the cities, and
$2471 in New York city. The con-
trast will show that the national ma
chinery costs less than that at home,
under the very eyes of the citizens.
The public schools are maintained
in the cities at cost of $4.70 per
capita, while 1925 is paid for the po-
lice and $1.72 for the fire department.
Thus schools and the police in cities
cost $685. year per capita, or only
38 cents per capita less than the total
ordinary disbursements of the national
government.
The taxpayers are proud of the pub
lie schools and do not begrudge the
moneys spent for them. The police
is required for the safety OF the COM
munity, for the maintenance of law
and order. If the funds are laid out
honestly and wisely, the taxpayer will
not scrimp either schools or the po-

FISHING TIME IN THE PASlG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Spearcd
by FiIipinos.

Friday morning Filipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid Of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
Of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unanl-
mously in their statement to the ef-
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom Of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface
Another theory that seemed to have
great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
of the water. this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.
