At 11:45 o'clock Gel Cobbe heard a of | heavy fire in the direction taken by Col. Plunkett and about one in the afternoon itives coming in repor that Col. io had been defeated with loss.

A remarkable storv concerning the fortunes of two Ontario boys, both formerly of Collinewood on Georgian Bav, but one of them now a success- ful contractor in Chicago. and the other a mining man in British Colum- bia, has come to light. Last August Mark F. Madden, Marquette Building, received a 'telegram from Charles J. McArthur, of Greenwood, B.C., re. questing the imaiediate loan of $5,000 with no security but his friend's word of honor. Mr. Madden recalled that as a boy McArthur had been a stickler for honor, and he resolved to take the chance. . He sent his friend the money, and in answer to "requests went to British Columbia, when he found McArthur had a chance on some mining proper: tv which promised to lead to fortune. A company was organized, Madden elected president and the mine secured. The mine paid ten per cent. dividend last month, and Madden has seen his $5,000 grow into $100,000, Thus boy- hood's friendship. and faith in a friend's honor has had a big reward. Thourh they had earlv separated," Mc- Arthur to follow mining wherein he made and lost several fortunes, and Madden to come to Chicago, thev had not forgotten one another, and now they are united in a venture which is making their fortune. A Casual Sitter. Philadelphia Press. ! One of the closest friends of the late Doctor Evans, of Philadelphia, the "American dentist," as he was gener ally called in Paris and London, was Nadar, the great Paris photographer, who made a specialty of photographs of royalty. It was through Dr. Evans that Nadar and King Fdward, of Eng- land, were brought together. In an in terview, talking about the peculiarities of royal sitters, Nadar mentioned the present king of England. The Prince of Wales,» mow the king, he said, was one of the easiest and most successful citters. He always came in as if prin cipally bent on lounging about the studio and hearing me talk about my old days, my ballooning adventures, my boulev gossip, and all that sort of thing. the Franco-German war and the man- ner in which Dr. Evans assisted in Eu i genie's escape especially interested him. Then, before going, he or 1 would cas ually suggest that we try a negative or two. The result was always good, because he felt thoroughly at home and natural. But his talk was al ways about men and actualities, never about books or pictures. If' 1 could tell him a good story of Sir Frederick Leighton or about Whistler he en joyed it. 1 I mentioned their suc oess in art he looked bored. The Desire.
