Horsn Taken ? Boer rrisow,
During one of the outpost skirmishes
between the Englishmen and the Boers
one of the latter had his horse shol
under him, says a correspondent ol
the Washington Tost.
Seeing a British cavalry horse with
out a rider, he captured it, and was
riding away, when a bugler caught
sight of him, and, putting his bugle
tq, his lips, blew a shrill blast
The horse wheeled sharply around,
and, despite the strenuous efforts of
his rider, galloped madly back to the
British lines, while the Boer, unwilling
to lose his prize, held on too long and
was taken prisoner.

There is a mistaken notion abroad
tbat the operations of the Boers have
been directed by European and American
officers. This widely circulated
statement contains scarcely a scintilla
of truth. A few European officers and
one American (Colonel Blake) are here.
They may be men of ability for all
I know, and competent to give the
Boers excellent ^dvice. Other foreign
officers would volunteer if they could i
get commissions- in the republican
army. The talent can easily be secured.
But how devise a scheme to
apply it? The Boers will net obey
their own officers, much less foreigners.?Thomas

"It is all folly, I know, but I am

cannot ask her to be my wife; she is

and grasses along the roadside. He
went on tnus for half a mile, then he
reached a turn, and retraced his steps
on the other side of tlie way. He
gave up the next three hours to a thorough
examination of the space of road
where tin* bracelet had been lost.
Like all people who are looking for
some lost article, it seemed to him
that underneath every shrub, secreted
behind every stone, he should lind the
treasure. There is a wonderful fascination
it such a search.
Ir was not until dusk that Rowen
gave it up for that daj*. and returned
to the hotel in the village where he
was staying.
For the next two days ho was engaged
in the same way, and ho did not
see Miss Kent, who wondered at his
absence.
But why should she remember him?
"Was not rich young Townsend, who
was said to be "dying for her," really
at her call? And were there not picnics
and parties and excursions in
which Mvra K'.'nt was the principal
ligure?
Rowen, asked himself if the girl
kne w that she had not seen him. It
was in vain tliat he scoffed at himself,
for every hour in the day he must own
that he loved her?that tho thought
that he must live his life without her
was so unhearable to him that he
fought against it.
On the fourth day from that on
which the conversation on the balcony
had been held. Rowen said that he
would give tliis one day to the search,
and. if the bauble was not found, he
would summarily cut short the fascination
which bound him?he would
take tin- evening train to London.
"I think I am losing my senses/'

[ was her constant companion.
The young man's eyes glanced about,
hoping* to see the dog's mistress; but
no one appeared, and at last Rowen
I was sure sue was 1101 near.
Instead of point? back in a few moments
the (lop kept near, and at last,
! when Rowen tried to drive him away,
Alfred persisted in remaining.
"You are not at all like your mistress,"
said Owen, with some bitterness.
"She would not manifest such
delight at being with me."
[ ,- The man and dog went on slowly,
and it was not until some minutes
had passed that Rowen noticed that
the terrior continually turned back and
looked at him as if asking him to
come.
Idly at last Rowen turned and followed
Alfred, who leaped a stone wall
and tiew across a field covered with
faded golden-rod. He uttered short
barks of satisfaction as he went, and
was constantly turning about to see
that Rowen followed. He went faster
and faster, so that finally Rowen was
nearly running to keep him In fright
Suddenly the dog leaped and scram
bled down the steep bank of a fry
water course, and when Ifyweifif c*fpe
to the edge and looked down he uttered
an exclamation of alarq^ and
surprise, and then swung himself do"frn'
from a birch tree and fell rather than
walked to a place where lay a figure
whose blue dress and bright scarf
were familiar to his eyes.
"Myrn!" he cried, as he flung himself
down by her.
All his love and agony were in that
word. He had feared to find her
senseless, dead, but she looked at him,
and a faint smile came to her white
lips. As she met his eyes, as the fire
in them poured down upon her, a tinge
of color came back into her face.
"I think most of my ribs are broker^
and perhaps the rest of my bones,"
she said, with an effort at speaking as
lightly as her words sounded. "But
I've found my bracelet."
As she spoke the last words her face
turned deathly white, iand she sank
still further back in unconsciousness.
A quarter of an hour later, when
life returned to her, she found herself
supported in Rowen's arms, and before
she opened her eyes she felt a pair
of trembling lips pressed passionately
upon her own.
"Forgive me! Forgive me!" murmured
Rowen. "I was wild?I thought
you dead! May you never suffer as
I have."
She tried to withdraw herself, but
he held her fast; he could not let her
go. There was something in her iace
that emboldened hiin, that ruade bis
hopes rise intoxicatingly.
"And now that I am not dead?" she
whispered, at last.
"Ah. now?now I will never let you
go!" he exclaimed, holding her yet
closer. "Have you ever guessed how
I love you?"
"Yes?I half fancied?but " was
the low response.
"But what?"
"I dared not ,think of it because?
because I was afraid I should discover
that I loved you!" was the delicious
reply.
A few moments after he said:
"I intended to have found that bracelet
myself."
"It's all the same," she said, shyly
smiling, "since I have found it."?

The ghost stories of the Airlies recall
a curious little story told the other day
by a young army surgeon who had just j
come home invalided from the seat of,I
war. It will be remembered that Major
Ray was one of the officers killed
at Magersfoutein on the terrible De- ?
comber 11. He had left behind him
his servant Bowne, at Michau's house,
the headquarters of the mounted infantry
camp, on the Modder River, and
sleeping in the same tent with Bowne
was the dog Drummer, the well-known
<log of the Fifth Royal Fusiliers.
Drummer was very much attached to
Major Ray, which may account for the
story. In the early morning Bowne
was woke up by unearthly and mournful
howling, and looking out he saw
that it was Drummer, who kept on for
auu-ie mm', uuu icius>cu iu uc wuiiui ied.
Bownc afterward compared times,
and found that the dog howled just at
the moment when the spirit of Major
Ray was passing out of this world.
For days after the poor dog was
wretched, refusing food and all consolation?he
missed so much the officer
to whose parting soul he had given the
faithful dog's requiem.?M. A. P. ,

Bit Shield and Bnfkler.
Many a rough-looking man carries in his
pocket, safe from all eyes but his own,
some memento or relic that is to him.as a
shield and buckler against the powera of
evil. - |
A story |is told of a big, burly miner wbp-:
steadily refused to join his comrades in
their drinking bouts, or in any of their;
revels in which evil was done. He was not
surly and morose, but he stwtdfastlyjde:lined
all invitations to take part in?s
companions' carousals. He was jeerea at
and subjected to all sorts of annoyances,
but yield he would not. One nigbtowhen
the revelry ran high, and many ttinbinen
were half drunk, they declared that "Big
Joe," as he was called, simply "hkd tp
drink with them." * ' <* y'
"I will not, boys," he said firmly.
They declared that if he did not they!
would force liquor down his "throat, and
then run him out of the camp.

Beer and Health.
No less an authority than the Scientific
News alleges that the use of beer is found i
io produce a species of degeneration of all |
,he organs. Profound and deceptive fatty |
deposits, diminished circulation, condi- '
tions of congestion and perversion of j
functional activities, local inflammation :
of both the liver and the kidneys are j
constantly present. Intellectually,, a stu- |
por amounting almost to paralysis arrests j
the reason, cnanging all higher faculties
into a mere animalism, sensual, selfish,
sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of
anger that are senseless and brutal. In
appearance the beer drinker may be the
nirt.nre of health, but in reality he is most
incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury,
a severe cold, or a shock to the body
or mind, will commoniy provoke acute
disease, ending fatally. Compared with
inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol,
he is more incurable and more gener- i
ally diseased. The constant use of beer j
every day gives the system no recuperation, I
but steadily lowers the vital forces. It i?
our observation that beer-drinking in this
country produces the very lowest kind of
inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity.
The most dangerous class of ruffian*
in our large cities are beer-drinkers. Re
course to beer as a substitute for othei
forms of alcohol merely increase the dan
ger and fatality.?From the Good Templa)

A New Point ol View.
Questioning the wisdom of Boston's present
system ot punishing drunkards as criminals
a correspondent of the Record writes:
"If the city will, through its licensed
agents, help rob a man or woman of their
scanty savings, as well as their brains for
the time being, then the city ouirht, out or
the license money received, provide a home
and care for them until they recover their
senses again. Don't throw a man into a
criminal institution for drinking what the
citizens of Boston vote to sell publicly.
Let people who sell rum and who vote to
Bell rum be consistent."

If we take the mass of evidence we can
come to only one conclusion from the scientific

dictates of reason and common sense.

Every total abstainer, if he makes his

there is an increasing demand for sober

their work than from that of employes

The secret of the staying power of
the mounted Boer lies, apparently, in
the fact that he is not a better horseman,
but a better horsemaster, than
the British trooper or artillery driver.
Hp knows to an ounce how much he
can safely take out of his mount, and
never calls on the beast beyond -that
point. He nurses him always, tends
him carefully at every opportunity,
and knows how to doctor him the moment
he Is knocked up. Among our
men?excepting probably the Colonial
Irregulars?stolid Indifference or ignorance
prevails on all such matters. The
majority of the mounted Infantry have
probably never had any instruction
whatever in the management of horses
otrt8ide-Wble?. Nor. is the-prevailing
ignorance confined to the rank and file.
If only officers understood all the niceties
of nursing horses unier a heavy
and prolonged strain, they would see
that the right thing was done, but competent
witnesses affirm that, though
there are conspicuous exceptions here
and there, the average cavairy or artil-1
lery officer never gives his attention to |
such matters, apparently regarding
the management of the horses in his
command as a menial matter, to be left
to the rank and file. I have even heard
It said that the smartest and juost successful
of our cavalry Generals would
