There is no doubt that the Malays are among the 1aziest people in the world. Except in rare cases they will not take the trouble to learn when they are young, and afterward, if they have learned, they will not exert themselves to apply their knowledge to any object which require n sustained effort. That they possess effort is known to any one who has seen Malays engaged in any enterprise which savers Of sport. They do not mind the trouble if there is only some risk and excite ment in the work.-Times of Malaga.

Joy In Store For Some One.

Among the advertisements in a monthly magazine we find this:
 For Sale or ExchAnge.-A fine young male bobcat and a female coyotes also a mandolin and pair of feldglassea.
 Such opportunities as this are not often offered The fieldglasses most of us could manage to do without, but the male bobcat, the female coyote and the mandolin would go far to make life happy for any reasonable in- dividual. All these are productive of music, and music gives joy to all right ly constituted persons. There are, of course, some people who cannot play upon q mandolin, but anybody can play upon a bobcat or a coyote. This fine chance to get varied and Inter esting collection of musical instru- ments will undoubtedly bring many replies.-Rochester Union and Adver- tiser

L'Anse basketball teams upper pen
Ursula aspirations were given rude
jolt last evening. when in a game with
the Marquette knights of Columbus
five. the visitors were defeated by A
to 81 score. The victory OF the X. G. :
was due to superior accuracy in basket
throwing and to greater speed and
endurance than their opponents. The
two teams were about equally matched
IN size and weight.
The game was played before very
large crowd and the playing space was
so restricted that no great amount of
team work was possible. Because Of
their unfamlllarlty with the floor.
which is small and slippery, the L'Anse
players did not put up the best game
of which they arc capable but on a
neutral floor the X. c.'s would have
won by decisive score, both teams
playing in last nights form. The Mar

of its truth?"
IF you refer to the dispatches, | do
not. | sincerely trust they are already
safely deposited in the hands of the

A malignant look crept into Bren-
mans face. and his jaws set ominously.
you will have to concoct far
better story than that, my friend, be-
fore you face Sheridan" he said In
solently, cor you will be very apt to

The two soldiers grasped me In.
stantly at the word of command. For
a single moment / braced myself to
resist, but even as did so my eyes
fell upon slight opening in the wall,
and caught a quick glimpse of Bun
gays face, his finger to his lips. Even
as | gazed in establishment at this
sudden apparition, lighter touch
rested pleadingly on my arm.
"Do not struggle any longer, Captain
Wayne" spoke Mrs. Brennan's voice,
gently. 81 will go to General Sheridan
myself, and tell him the entire story"
l bowed to her, and held out my
hands to be bound.
81 yield myself your prisoner,
madam" 1 said meaningly, and not
unconscious that her glance sank be-
fore mine. 81 even imagine the bonds
may prove not altogether unpleasant"
Brennan strobe between US hastily,
and with quick gesture to his men.
Bind the fellow" he said sternly'
"And mind you, sir, one word more,
and they shall buck you as well. Ii
may be valuable for you to remember
that l am in command here. however

knew from the unrelenting ex-
preston upon his face that my plea
was likely to prove perfectly useless
one, but before l had ended it Mrs.
Brennan stood between us.
Frank" she said calmly, you shall
not. This man is a Confederate Off

events OF last night he has proven
himself = friend rather than an enemy.

Ignoring the look upon his face she
turned toward me, impetuously waved
aside the fellows who yet held me

lifted me to my feet. For an instant,
as if by accident, our eyes met. and
sudden flush swept across her
throat and cheeks.
1t is my turn now" she whispered
softly, so softly the words did not car
ry beyond my own ears. Then she
stood erect between us, as though in
her own drawing room, and gravely
presented us to each other, as IL she
dared either to quarrel longer in her
presence.

We bowed to each other as men
salute on the duelling field. In his
eyes l read an unforgiveness, bitter
personal enmity, which returned
with interest, and secretly rejoiced
over.

present" he said shortly, showing back
the revolver into his belt "Neverthe-
less shall do my military duty, and
