Another half hour passed, hut still there j was no Dewey sign, and I begun to feel a little tired In ni\ legs and to j 1raw a Ions hreath onee or twice in a* while.

In"the meantime, line ! rarri ages adorned with.Hairs and hunt ;ng and beautiful ladies and swell gen- i Ih-nu ti passed an 1 repassed hut no soldiers. I was nearly ready to drop to the marble digging on which we stood, but my wife stood as firm to the telegraph pole as ('a "sahiam a did to tti mast. About this time a Utile heathen Chinee appeared tit the big plate glass hay window and the small hoys cheered him, for he was Dewey's pet that he brought from Manila a lad about 1J years old and as good looking as a Chinee ever get? to be. My wife said that was a sagn. a forerunner, and sure I enough Mrs. Dewey soon appeared and | parted the lace curtain and gazed upon i to "crowd and smiled. I was not look- ' ing tat way and my wife nudged mo with her elbow and said there she is, out she had disappeared and I saw another lady in another window drink ing a cup or tea, and remarked she i-; 1 aider than I thought she was ami more thirsty, and w.t- then in framed that I was looking at the wrong window.

The admiral was sick and t.li * loetors said the air must not blow on i lim. Aluout this time the tin ill ng ' votes of a. brass band came ov> r the asf wind and cheered the multitude j ind my wife nudged in again and , aid. "Kent liiit beautiful?"
