[Copyright 1893, by

T was only the
grou n d o n
which the hun-
dred and fifty
boys Of Dr. Kel-
’2__ lar’s school dis-
ported themselves. But besides the
boys present there were at least a hun-
dred and fifty demons and angels of
ambition, envy, loyalty, perfidy and
truthfulness. _
‘ “ The doctor himself, in a new suit of
' tweed, seemed 'to the boys to be far
more approachable here in the midst
7 Of their sports - than when in academic
cap and gown. He cast gloom
:through their ranks by stalking along
with that . searchlight i eye of his
well-turned on the discomfiture of evil
doers. However, even at these grue-
some times the boys admitted among
themselves that Kellar was a gentle-
.man, and that they’d rather take a
. hiding from him than punishment drill
fromacad any day.‘ ~ . . _ .
EOr they were all proigd; of 'Kellar’s,
loyal to the School, and ready to bat-
tle tO the bitter end against any com-
.mon'foe who 'dared-togasperse Hill the
highest degree. ' ' " '
' ' A little lad 'of ten had just run light-
,heartedl'y on the ground when the
aforesaid searchlight fell upon him,
and simultaneously the head master
shouted Out: ’ ‘ ' "
“Colville two,
tention?”

well accustomedand replied with pleas-

“Then what; brings you out here?”
“I s’pose it’s Sdtan—he’s always doing
it. ” I ‘- ‘ ' -
“Doing what?” , . .. ' ‘
' “Making me naughty,” said Colville’
two with pathetically fearless frank-
ness.
and kissed him.
Twelve years. later the battle of
Tamai was being fought, and Colville
two was in the thick of it. He had
been slightly. wounded in an' attack
that had been made upon McNeil’s
zarebaafew days previously, and his
colonel had mentioned him in dis-
patches and recommended him strong-
ly for the “V. ,C." for personal gal-
lantry.
On the strength of this Lieut. Col-
viile had written to the girl he was en-
gaged to, who was at Cairo with her
mother. telling that he would not wait
to marry her a day after he got his cem-
pany.
“I’ve always been a lucky fellow,
tho‘ I’ve been in no end of s‘crapes‘all
my life,” the boy wrote, “and now the
crowning luck of all is that I shall. Win
you and the Victoria crOss at the same
time. Heaps of fellows deserve it just
as much as I do, only I happen to be in
the front, you see, and was lucky
enough to be able to make myself a
target for the concealed enemy, who
had been picking ofi our men like fine
pins. The Arabs turned their fire on
me, and our fellows were able to see
where the beggars fired from. I must
bear a charmed life, I think, for the
ground was riddled all around me.
-Bob (Bob was her-brother) and Ifought
shoulder toshoulder for hours. and we
shall again many a day, I hope.”
The girl who got this letter was
worthy of the. gallant, light-hearted
boy who wrote it, and she sent him
pages of such loving, proud, encOuI-ag-
ing words as only a prOud, loving
woman can write. .
“(wish I were your wife that I might
goto the front and dress your wounds

eral cleverness had brought numbers.

ever if I could only do something to

Then she went on to tell how regu-
larly she wrote to his mother, keeping
her posted-up in all that Jack was (10-.
ing and suffering and winning. ‘ “She'
is my beloved mother, and only she can
fully understand how dearly I have
loved you ever since that day when I
went and kissed you because you said
you ‘S’posed it was Satan made you
naughty.’ ”
._ Violet Kellar had fought a hard fight
before she had gained her father con-
sent to become engaged to penniless'
'Jack Colville. The girl’s brilliantly

But she had been faithful to Lhenfirst. '
love through it all.
“I hate poverty, but I love J ack,” she
would say, when her father pointed out
to her how far .more sensible it would
be of her to marry a man who could
give her a. good establishment in which
he could stay at home in ease with her,
than to link her lot with that of a. mere
subaltern in a marching regiment.
“Probably after they have settled
this disturbance in Egypt his regiment
will be sent OH to India for three or
four years, and as he can’t marry on
his pay you will be left behind to med-
itate on your folly in having engaged
yourself.”
“I shall marry him as soon as this
afiair is over in Egypt, papa, and if he
can’t give me bread and water enough
to support me I’ll beg it from some
one who can. I don’t want a good esp
tablisment or a husband who will stay
at home in ease. I want Jack, and I
mean to have him!”
“The boy. always got what he want
ed, confound him,” her father grum-
bled, good temperedly, and when he
said that, Violet knew that her" case
was won. ’
Her mother, after the. manner of
mothers, sympathized with the young
people’s romance, and hopefully as-
tion in some miraculous way Without.
seeing much dangerous service. _
So when Violet said: “Mother, dear,
I don’t want a swell wedding, I don’t
even want a wedding-dresse-Jack likes
me in sailor serge better than any-
thing; but I do want to go Out and be
as near him as I can. Take me to
Cairo, and let the chaplain marry
us as soon as the fighting! over,"
Mrs. Kellar agreed to do so, and all
their acquaintances declared that the
mother was as great a. fool as the
daughter.
Violct's letter was keeping his heart
warm this day, at Tamai. He was feel-
ing unaccountably happy and light-
hearted, as after a sharp tussle with .
half-a-dozen Arabs, three of whom he
killed with his revolver, he Was allowed
breathing time for a few ’min utes, dur-
ing which he cut the' word ,“Suakim”
on the little black pipe that. had been;
his inseparable Companion during the.
whole of the campaign. . - -
Suddenly justas he 'had lighted and
returned smoking it, he heard a frantic
shout, and glancing up he saw young
Kellar dash forward and fire at some '
one behind him (Jack). Simultaneous-
ly he felt a sharp agonizing pain in his
back, and he; knew that he was struck
by a poisoned spear. An Arab, who.
had been concealed in a bush, had crept '
out and stabbedhim before young Kel-
lar could intervene.
He had staggered and then fallen on.

WOMAN'S FEAR OF MICE.
Fair Sex Essays in Vain to Ao~
4 count for It.
As a woman, and I trust a brave one,
a lover of animals and a student of
natural history, I ask the vexed quesfi
tion in all seriousness, Why are women
afraid of mice? says a writer. Why
should the sight (I had almost written
the rame)’ of a-tiny,vharml_ess, graceful
little creature strike terror, into the
stoutest hearts that ‘beat in feminine
breasts? ‘ Echo answers: “Why?” The
fear of mice is an hereditary curse, an
inherited _ weakness, a fatal . fee . which
it is useless to combat, a foolish dread
of which we .. ought to feel heartily
ashamed, and ~ yettit is a real and for--
midable terror. It 'is never assumed.
It may be exaggerated by a fit of hys-
terics or a succession of piercing Screams
but the genuine peur a faire fremir is
there all the same—and why? I re-
member once reading a story about a
coterie of strong-minded women who
gave a series of lectures upon female
virtues, in an old town assembly room.
One of the
One of their number was chosen to de- '.
liver a lecture on valor and selected for ‘
her subject the history of Joan of Arc.
But when the evening arrived and
she was discoursing upon the- valor
of her sex‘ in general a mouse .ran _‘
across the platform and the lecturer
and her strong-minded sisters jumped
onto their chairs, clutching their petti-
coats in a manner not altogether pic-
turesque. .But "I maintain that the
fear of mice has nothing whatever. to
do with the lack of real bravery and
that] Joan of Arc would probably have
clutched her petticoats in precisely the
same manner. » ‘
'A mouse in the chamber of Marat
would, Ibelieve, have'deterred, Char-'
lotte Corday from her dreadful pur-
pose; and the tail of one popping op-
portunely from the carving of Tuilla’s
chariot would have prevented her
from driving over her father’s corpse;
and I could cite many instances in
which mice might have changed the
history of the world. Who can doubt
that Cleopatra and the other swarthy
Egyptian beauties held the sacred cat ,
in special veneration on account of the
part he played in ridding them of their
pet aversion? Everyone knows that if
a cat has a weakness it is for a plump,
Well-matured mouse, and puss has, per-
haps, for this reason earned the affec-
tions, because the gratitude, of our sex.
The story of a prisoner, ' who was
cheered in captivity by a mouse is fami-
liar to us all—butthe prisOner was a
man. Equally familiar is the fable of
the grateful mouse which gnawed the
net, but again—the prisoner is said to-
