Combat That Helped
Charlie Wallace In
His Ambition and
His Love.
Darcy Lover In OKI and Youns.
Charlie Wallace of tlie Forty-second
H. N. I., was In the dumps. Not wholly
without cnuo. Dame Fortune had Just
dealt lilm one of those ugly blows slie
spares none of us not even the luck
iest. An olllclal letter lay open before
him, and thus It ran
"Sir: I have the honor to Inform you
that I have placed your name on the
list of applicants for the vacant post
In the waste paper olllce. As you are
one of two hundred and eighteen can
didates, I felt It right to warn you
against harboring any very sanguine
hopes of success. Yours faithfully,
"John Ievlng."
Such was the answer to his twen
tieth application for a post In that
department of the Indian civil service.
And ho had nothing but his lieuten
ant's pay to depend on. nor any pros
pects worth mentioning; and he was
head over ears not In debt but In love
with Lucy Campbell, the only child of
the collector of Hungareeopootur, the
place where his regiment wns then sta
tioned. And albeit she smiled on him
and kept other suitors Including ilch
old Colonel Greybeard at arm's length
for his sake, her parents did not give
him any encouragement, though they
liked and esteemed him. On the whole,
then, he had some jeoson for being In
the dumps, as he sat In his bungalow,
"chewing the cud of sweet and bitter
fancy "
His meditations were suddenly cut
short by the cherry voice of his bosom
friend, Captain Finch. "Why, Charlie,
what the dickens ails you, that you've
cut mess these last three days?"
"Oh, I'm a trifle out of sorts noth
ing much," replied his friend. "Any
news?"
"6nly that the man-eater has been
making a meal of another post-runner"
"Why, that's the sixth within the last
nine months!" broke in Charlie Wal
lace. "I believe you, my boy," replied his
friend, "and Collector Campbell has of
fered a rewaid of 3,000 rupees for said
man-eater's skin. And high time, too!
Else we shall find no one to carry our
letters." '
"Where did It happen?" Inquired
Wallace.
"Why, about ten miles nor'east of
this place Just wheie the road dives
Into the Serauat Jungle after crossing
the gully. They found the poor fel
low's letter ling and his bells lying In
the bed of the gully."
"It seems as If those bells, InstPad
of scaring the brute, as Intended, acted
ns a signal to make him ready to
pounce on his prey."
"True to you, friend Charlie."
"I should deaily like to have a shot
at the brute."
"Xo go, my boy! He's too leery.
Granat and Spurling have both been
on his track; but they couldn't even
catch sight of the tip of his tall."
After a few minutes' more chat
about things In general, the captain
left the bungalow; and Charlie Wal
lace forthwith shouted to the boy on
the veranda outside.
V'i- ! Mi.irecm At."
This was his factotum a native of
the lowest caste, but faithful as a mas.
tiff.
"Gone to bazaar, saheeb," answered
the lad.
"Then go you and buy me a half a
dozen small bells such as the post-runners
cany on their sticks," said his
master, flinging him a couple of rupees,
"And be quick about it."
Away speed the boy to do his errand.
Meanwhile the lovelorn lieutenant
carefully loaded his rifle and double
barrelled gun, and then strolled out on
to the verandah to await JIurreem
All's return.
All soon made his appearance, with
the boy at his heels. When he was
within earshot, his matter called to
him, "That brute of a tiger has killed
another mail-carrier; and now I'm
minded to put a bullet through his
hide "
"Pardon, saheeb. He Is no tiger, ho
devil!" said All; "saheeb no shoot him.
Ho eat saheeb!"
"We shall see about that ," teplled
the lieutenant. "Are you man enough
to come along with me and chance
It?"
"If saheeb go, All go with him, and
devll-tlger eat both,," replied the na
tive calmly.
"Well, then, ust got mo a red coat
such as the mall carriers wear, and
we'ir be off at once."
The native took the purse which his
master held out to him and retraced
his steps towards the bazaar, thinking
his master stark mad. Hut then, In
the East madmen are deemed In
spired. When he returned with the red ro.tt
he found the lieutenant transformed
Into a fair Imltatloln of a native by
the aid of burnt cork. The lieutenant
donned the tout, loaded his pistols,
thrust them Into his belt, and handed
the gun to his t-crvant. The rifle ho
Bhouldered himself. The two then stole
out of the bungalow by the back door
and ctlned the high road by an un-

frequented path to avoid attracting at
tention needlessly always a wise pre
caution when one goes out for wool at
the risk of coming home shorn.
For some four or live miles their rond
lay through open fields ftown with
mnbe and cotton. Then they dived In
to the Jungle. Hero the lleutcnnn
ant bade All fall behind and trotted on
ahead by himself, lest the tiger should
"sin 'II a rat." So on he Jogged alone,
hoping though not without a qualm
or two that the beast would mistake
him ft,r a post-runner nnd show him
self. To this end he tied the bells In a
bunch to his girdle, and a pretty Jingle
they made as he sped onward. Anon
he plunged Into a wood of lofty trees,
where the underlying brushwood grew
thick enough to harbor a hundred hun
gry tigers within easy reach of him.
The thought made him blanch a bit;
but nevertheless he pushed on till he
reached tho very spot where the man
eater had made his last meal of human
flesh. There could bo no doubt of It,
for traces of the poor fellow's blood
were still to be seeen on the white
pebbles In the bed of what, during tho
rainy season, became a foaming tor
lent. Here Charlie Wallace halted,
with his illle at full-cock In hl3 right
hand, and gazed around him.
Naught stirred. All was silent as, the
grave oppressively silent. Ah! what
noise wns that wh'-h ho heard behind
hlrn? the footsteps of his servant? Im
possible! All must still be hnlf a mile
behind him. As this thought flashed
through his mind he faced nround Just
In time to see a pair of gleamlnlg eyes
glatlnlg at him from the brushwood.
Quick as lightning he raised his rlllo
and fired, and a huge tiger rolled down
Into the gully, where It lay for a mo
ment as If stunned. But It quickly re
covered Itself, and crouched to spring
on Its assailant. Hnd Wallace wny
ered for hnlf a second ho must hnve
shared tho fate of the luckless run
ner. Hut he wlpped out his pistol and
discharged It polnt-blann. In the nnl
mnl'3 face. One of the slugs entered
its eye and pierced tho brain, and the
ruthless creature fell seemingly life
less at his feet; then he knew that It
must actually have made Its spring
when he fired.
With the second pistol in his hind
he sat down on the brink of tho gully
and mopped the moisture from his
drlppinlg brows. Meanwhile he kept
his eje fixed upon his enemy, half ex
pecting to see it rise and renew the nt
tack. Hut there It lay quite motionless
and was Indeed stone dead.
Ho had ample time to admire tho
beauty of his sleek coat before All
made his appearance.
"What a marvel!" exclaimed that
worthy, almost breathless with wonder
and admiration. "Heaven hns en
abled saheeb to shoot the devil!"
"The question now Is, what are we to
do with the devil, as you call hlrn?"
said his master. "Can we get a bullock-cart
hereabouts?"
"Surely!" replied All "At tho next
Village not a mile off where every
bullock-cart and bullock will be proud
ly at the beck of the saheeb who has
destroyed the devil."
"Well, away with you, and fetch one!
One will berve our turn," said the devil-
shooter, smiling.
About half an hour later, a loud
shouting proclaimed tho approach ot
tho vehicle and half tho village. As
the noisy crowd drew near, one old
man rushed forward, and, grovelling
at tho lleutenant't feet, exclaimed,
"Oh, my Lord, my lord, hast thou ver
ily destroyed the devil that devoured
my brother's son?"
Meanwhile the villagers crowded
round the carcass of their fallen foe,
and kicked and spat upon It to their
hearts' content. One fellow pulled out
a tinder-box and struck a light, where
with he proceeded to singe the animals
whiskers. Hut All checked him with a
threat that If ho spoilt tho creature's
skin he was like to share Its fate. Oth
ers. Instead of venting their hate on
their dead foe, tendered milk nnd fruit
and wild honey to the tlger-queller,
at they deemed him. And, sure
enough, ero long up came a hoary
priest to lay the spirit of the beast,
lest It should haunt the village and
work far more evil than while
clothed with flesh. They drew a magic
circle roud the carcass, and smeared
its head with dabs of red paint, nnd
prostrated themselves before It, by
way of soothing the wrath of Its pat
ron goddess, the mischief-working
Kali. Finally, they wreathed Its neck
with wild flowers, and hoisted It Into
the cart, nnd marched In procession
before It to the music of tomtoms and
half a dozen horns. And then, as night
came on, scores of torchbenrers
swelled the throng that marched In
front of the cart.
When they were within two miles
distance of the lieutenant's headquar
ters, they were overtaken by a stout
lslr gentleman riding a powerful and
spirited horse. Reigning It in along
side tire cart, where sat the lieutenant
alongside the tiger, he asked:
"What's agate?"
Wallace modestly explained, to the
Ksi of his ability, amid all that din
of tomtoms, horns and human voices.
The horseman looked puzzled for a
moment. Then he said: "Hut you're
not a post-runner."
At this moment up rode three other
liorcmen. He turned to one of them
and whispered something which Wal
lace failed to catch. Ho then rod? o!T,
followed by the two other horsemen.
The one to whom he had spoken ac
companied tho procession, chatting to
the ami tour post-runner, till tho cars
stopped at tho door of Wallace's bun
galow. There ho abruptly said: "Au
revolr, Lieutenant Wallace," and rode
off.
"What on earth does he mean with
his au revolr?" muttered the tiger
queller as he entered his "diggings."
"And how the dickens docs ho know
my name and grade?" Ho had failed
to observe the diplomatic art with
which the horseman had pumped him
during that chat. Summa ars est ce
lare artem.
Scarcely had the tiger-hunter doffed
his red coat. washPd off his war paint,
and donned his ordinary "togs" when
his boy came In with a note which ran:
"Tho governor-general begs mo to In
vite you to dine with him at my house.
Come Just as you are. Yours sincere
ly. Hector Campbell."
Dinner S sharp.
So tho frank, plain-spoken horse
man who Hist accosted him was no less
a person than the Viceroy of India, the
universally boloved and respected
Lord Mayo, who, like Mr. (Hailstorm
went here, there and everywhere, find
ing out things for himself, Instead of
tnibtlng to hearsay.
Hut far from tho rellectlon wera
Charllo Wallace's thoughts. Ho wns
thinking of dinner, rrot so much with
the governor-general, but rather with
him In the presence of Lucy Campbell,
whose parents had prudently kept her
out of his way for months; In fact,
ever Blnce they detected her weakness
for tho Impecunious lieutenant without
"expectations."
Hut. Indeed, mlshty little tlmo had
1 he for any rellectlonos; barely time to
give himself nn additional brush-up
and reach the collector's bungalow as
the dlnner-on-the-table gong sounded,
i Lord Mayo led Mrs. Campbell Into
I the dining loom; and Lucy fell to the
, lot ot his lordship's, aide-de-camp tho
' gentleman who had pumped our hero
so skillfully. Hut he did not feel In
clined to grumble at that nrrangement.
Ho was well content to bring up tho
rear with her father and sit opposite
to her nnd sldo by eldo with the gov
I ernor-genernl.
I like all thoroughbred gentlemen,
Lord Mnyo had the art, or "second na
ture," of setting all persons at their
ease In his presence, except of course,
sly rogues, who never can feel quite at
ease In tho presence ot nn honest man.
The dinner might hnve been that of a
1 family party for any sense of stiffness
or constraint that prevaded It. Nor
did the talk once flag, or turn too much,
but Just enough on the event that gave
Charllo Wnllace his seat at that table.
Across the walnuts and the wine,
I nfter the Indies left tho room, his lord
i ship and the aldo-do-camp between
them drew Charlie out, and discovered,
without much dlfllculty, and that It
was not the three thousand rupees re
ward that Induced him to risk his life,
but rather the reckless courage born
of that hope deferred which makcth
tho heart sick.
I "I have seen that odiously pollto
form so often that I know It by heart,"
I he said: and he repeated with grim
'humor tho prescriptive words, "'Sir
I I have the honor to Inform you,' etc."
I "Ay, It seems you know your lesson
thoroughly," quoth Lord Mayo, with
' a merry twinkle In his eye. "Hut per
haps the bird may sometimes change
Its r.rte."
Next morning, as ho sat at break
fast, Charlie received a note addressed
to him In a peculiarly bold and legible
html. He hastily tore It open and read.
"Sir: 1 have the honor to Inform you
that I have placed your name on the
list of nppllcants for the vacant post
In the general supervision departn.cnt
Hut as your name heads the list, you
may char.ee to find this announcement
somewhat better than waste pope.-.
Wishing you heartily every success. I
anr very faithfully yours, Mayo."
Up he Jumped, snatched up his hat,
and rushed off nt the top of his speed
towards Collector Campbell's bunga
low, to pour out his thanks to the governor-general.
Hut he found the bird
flown. There was some one, however,
to receive him; some one In whose
bright eyes tho kind-hearted nobleman
had read a certain tale of true love;
whose course he forthwith resolved to
smooth so far as In him lay. And ho
succeeded so well, that when a twelve
month later Collector Campbell retired,
sailed with his wife for England, they
left Lucy behind them. Only she had
changed her surname for that of old
Scotland's darling hero.

DOLLARS AMI CIIN'TS.
These Are What Will llring Freedom
to the Cuban People.
Walter Wellman's Washington Letter.
In two years the Spanish have spent
$200,000,000 In trying to suppress the
revolution in. Cuba All the money
which they have had during the last
four months was raised nt homo by
popular loan, after London and Paris
bankers and the Rothschilds had re
fused to advance further sums. To
float the popular loan the Idea was en
couraged that there was to hi war with
the United States. That loan amount
ed to $SO,000,UOO, at fi per cerrt. and yet
was floated at 90. It Is now worth C9.
Of the nominal sum of $72,000,000 accru
ing from It, only $40,000,000 was avail
able cash, the remainder being sub
scribed for by banks to which the gov
ernment owed money. On the last day
of the last year Spain's treasury con
tained Just $15,000,000. The two wars
are costing $16,000,000 a month $12,000,
000 for Cuba and $4,000,000 for the Phil
ippines. July 1 next $50,000,000 of Interest upon
Spanish bonds will become due. There
Is no money with which to pay It. To
meet this emergency It Is proposed to
float another popular loan In $20 bonds
at C per cent, selling at 90. The most
optimistic Spanish financiers do not
hope for more than $30,000,000 or $10,
000,000 from this source not enough to
pay tho Interest, let alone the enor
mous floating debt, and the $10,000,000
a month which the two wars cost.
Spain's credit, exhausted abroad, will
boon reach Its end at home.
Much of the supplies for the armies
in Cuba are bought In the Unite 1 States.
Hut cash Is always demanded. Amer
ican packers and exporters will not
trust Spain. The nation Is really at the
mercy of Its creditors. The serious
question for them Is whether or not
they will nsslst Spain to go on In Its
work of destroying Cuba. If so, all the
security for their loans Is dissipated,
for tho Spanish paper Is secured upon
tho revenues of Cuba.
If the Spaniards are permitted to ex
ecute their threat to leave Cuba but a
smoking waste when they leave It,
what becomes of the bonds secured
with Cuba as a pledge? If Cuba Is
given her Independence the bonds be
come worthless, too. So the question
Is one for the money changers. The
Rothschilds will have to step In and ad
minister upon the bankrupt estate of
Spanish Culm and that means an ar
rangement by which Cuba may get her
Independence and the bondholds muy
get their money, or n part of It.
This Is what the Cuban question Is
corning to, and coming to very rapidly.
From the military point of view there
Is a blockade. Spain can do nothing
and the Insurgents wish to do nothing
except hold their own. Time Is on their
side. In Havana tho paper money Is
down to 40 per cent, of Its face value.
The shopkeepers refuse to take It but
the soldiers are forced to accept It. Un
der such conditions tho Cuban leaders
are not concerned as to tho military
outlook. They are watching the' bourse.

Paine's Celery Compound in High Favor

service In the house of representatives,
where he wns sent from the Sixth dis

house nnd In the committee room he Is
a conspicuous advocate of measures
for the advancement of good govern

this distinguished legislator appears
from the fololwlng letter:
Dear Sirs: For years I have been a
great sufferer from neuralgia, and
during the past winter was advised to
try your Paine's celery compound, and
I used two bottles of It with great bene
fit. I was so much pleased with it that
I persuaded my brother, John Floyd, to
use It. He had beerr having a bad
form of nervous dyspepsia, and now,
after using tho compound for two
months, Is so hutch Improved that we

comprehensive a knowledge of nervous
exhaustion. It cures where other
means have been tried and found futile.
"There Is less hesitation nowadays
among Intelligent people In attending
to the beginnings of poor health. It Is
well known that disease Is progressive
and cumulative, easy to drive out at the
start, but a menace to life when al
lowed to entrench Itself In any organ
of the body. If people would consider
headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
sleeplessness, Indigestion arrd languid
feelings In their true light and as seri
ously as they deserve to be and make n
stand ngalnst them at once by means
of Paine's celery compound, there
would be a wonderful diminution irr tho
amount of kidney, liver and heart dis
ease." Any one who reads the heartfelt, em
phatic letters that have appeared here
from men nnd women who owe their
health and often their lives to Paine's
celery compound will be Impressed by
the sincerity In every line.
"This great modern scientific invlg
orator and health-maker is doing an
enormous amount of lasting good these
spring days. Its success In making
people well has had no parallel In the
history of medicine. It has cured thou
sands of cases of rheumatism and neu
ralgia, many of lorrg standing that
have been despaired of by friends and
physicians.
"Compared with other remedies, Its
permanent cures stand out as a moun
tain does before a mole hill. If all men
and women who have entirely got rid
of nervous debility, threatened nervous
exhaustion, sleeplessness and such or
ganic troubles as kidney, liver nnd
stomach diseases by Its help, during the
past year alone, could be brought to
gether, what an army of grateful peo
ple It would make!"
