Bui one da; his city editor told lnim to go down t the railroad station, see Lord <'baric Beresford, who was to wait there little time between trains, and get ai interview from him. The boy wa country bred, and Beresford was littl more than a name to him. But h had an hour to spare before he wotil have to be at the depot, and that hou was spent in a library reading of th fight before Alexandria and of revolv ing guns in the Sudan. When he reached Beresford at th railroad depot lie found the rear ad miral very gracious and obliging an ready to fill him with much praise o the country in whole and that part o the country in particular. The bo; took copious notes, then closed hi book with a bang and a smile. * "That's all good stuff, Ijord Beres . ford," said lie, "but it's what ever single one of you P'liglishmeii tell a s when you get over here. I want som real news." "Heal news?" was the response.
