His audience con- sisted of the ushers and pupils of that establishmont. The announcement was not altogeth- 1 or unexpected. In fact, two young: gentlemen were already secretly con-i gratulating tmlves on having got off so easily. But their hopes were destined to be dashed to the groundâ€" the doctor has not finished. How much does he know? “I said, young gentlemen." he con- tinued, "that there wonld be no half- holiday; but I speak with a. reserva<‘ tion. If I can possibly avoid it, it isa not my plan to punish the whole school for the fault of a. few of its members. I call on those boys who robbed Mr. Hodge's orchard yesterday to give me their names. Unless I am greatly misâ€" taken. they will do so. Will these boys stand up " _ . Amidst a breathless silence, lads stood up to their places. "is there no one else?” asked doctor. ‘ u Then every one looked at every one else; the big boys began to look very fierce, and the small ones to look very red. v "I have reason to know that there is another boy who ought to be standing up. I will give him auminute to do so." The doctor took out his watch. \Vhat an age" that sixty seconds seemed! "Ogilvie Whittlechurch, stand up." The boy addressed was a slender del- icate little fellow in the first form, but with an open and intelligent face, not at all the face of a sneak. Scarce- ly seeming to take in what was hap- pening. he obeyed; and then. seeing the gaze of the whole school concentrated on himself, burst into tears. L "I am sorry," said the doctor stern- ly, “very sorry to find that there is a. boy in my school who can descend to a lieâ€"to find a boy who is mean enough to see his companions punish- ed while he himself goes free. The school may dismiss now, and leave their books out. There will be no halfâ€" holiday; we will resume work at three o'clockâ€"Parkins, Riminegton and Whit- tlechurch, go to my study." Fifty boys do not allow themselves to be robbed of an afternoon's cricket without some retaliation: and many were the threats indulged in of “bed- room lickings" and "monitor thrash- lngs" to be afterwards administered to the unhappy Whittlechurch. Besides, to do them justice, English schoolboys have a strong sense of honor; and if a master will but show by his conduct that he appreciates and trusts in this sense, public opinion is always against a boy who takes advantage of him. There had been a. paperâ€"chase the day before, and the hares on their re- turn journey had passed Hodge's or- chard with the hounds close on their heels Of course. at this, the most ex- citing part of the whole chase, none of the bigger boys, nor the good run- ners among the smaller ones, Iwould «have turned aside for all the orchards in the county. But the three unfor- tunates who were ulterviewing the doc- tor" were known to have struggled ear- ly in the day, and nothing was more likely than ‘that they had yielded to the temptation of lightening some of the over .iden apple trees of their gold- on burden, more especially as Farmer Hodge was the avowed enemy of the school, and was said to have sworn to the next boy he caught acquainted With his cart-whip. But how the doctor had "bowled out" \Vhit- tlechurch, no one could imagine. Presently, .the schoolâ€"bell rang. and all trooped in again and took their two the places as before. Perkins and Rimlngton . were already in theirs, looking very sore and uncomfortable; but Whittle- church was not in the room. \thn everyone was seated, the doctor lap- ped is desk for silence, and proceeded to address the school: "Whittlcichurch is expelled. He persisted in denying his guilt; and as I have often told you that I Will not be responsible for the charge. of a bar, 1 had no course but to send him back to his father. That he. was guilty, there can be no doubt. When Mr. llodge's complaint reached me yesterday afternoon, I walked over to his farm. “'0 wont into the orchard, and there I saw his full name “Ogil- vie \Vhittlechurch," out on an apple tree. The work was quite recent; it could not have been done more than a couple of hours at most; and in the face. of. this evidence he still refused to ndintt that he had been in the or- Chal‘llmâ€"Lof. this be a warning to you, can gentlemen.

D'yer want to git took the happles over to the meadow. You come along a-uie and we'll 'ave a blow-out." So saying, the last two _speakers separat- ed from their companions, and running round behind the workhouse. cautiously crossed the garden. This brought them to a stone wall, over which they clam- bered. They were now in the meadow, and 'here. sure enough. sitt _close to the wall, they found another ittle fel- low waiting for them. “ ’Ave you got 'em, Oggy 9"â€" 'Ave you got the happles ?" they both asked at once in an eager whisper. "' 'Ave I got 'em!" replied the other, contemptuously. “D' yer think I've left 'em behind 3" And producing apiece ; of sacking tied up in a bundle, he pro- ceeded to undo the knot, thus allowing to roll out a store of fine ripe redâ€"cheek- ed apples. _ . , "O blimy! ain't they .prime?‘ " 'Ere's one for you.

But the one who had been distributing the apples stayed for a. moment to tie up the bundle; then, just as he was about to follow them. 'he suddenly saw the Squire trip up and fall heavily to the ground; and at the. some time realised what he had not noticed before. namely, that the gentleman was not pursuing himself and this companions. but was tryingto escape from an infuriated bull, which now made its appearance through agap at the other end of the_ field. rushing madly, head down. straight for where 'he lay. What impulse prompted him the never knew. Had he waited but a fraction of a second. to think, he would most probably have followed his com- panions. But he did not think. He ran as hard as he could go to where the gentleman was lyingâ€"the hull was now within six yardsâ€"picked up a stone,and «threw it at the animal with all his force. It hit the latter between the eyes. The effect was instantaneous. The bull stopped short. tossed his head, half- turned round, and tlhen catching eight of some blankets hung up to dry, which were fluttering in a cottage garden near by. made off in that direction at the top of his speed. _ - Meanwhile. the Squire, who had twrst- ed ibis ankle, had with some difficulty got up; and leaning partly on the boy and partly on his stick. hobbled to. the gate. "VV'h'at is your name, my little man ?" he asked. ” Ogilvle “"hlittlechunch. sir. ' ” Queer name that for a. pan er," he muttered. " \Vell, Ogilvie V'h'ltllle- church, run back to the workhouse and tell the master that I want to speak to him. Do you understand? Tell him that Colonel Forward wishes to speak to him.” _ “0h, p-p-lease. sir, we wasn't dorng no 'arm. Leastways, the other two was- n’t. You'll only tell ‘im of me. sir?

Yet I suppose that this is the kind of step that one ought to think over before taking. But then I don’t fancy that the boy thought much when he saved in life just now.

The reasonâ€" speculation, in which, like many other retired officers of comfortable means who feel keenly the want of occupa- tion he had been tempted to engage. However, he still had enough to live on; but, for his son's sake he regretted that it was not more. . From Eton, Ogilvio passed into \Vool- wich, and from Woolwich'he was gaz- etted lieutenant in the Royal Enginâ€" eers. His detachment was stationed at Leith, where they were employed re- newing the submarine defences of that port. When the main part of the work had been completed, several of the of- ficers, Ogilvie among the number, sent in their applications for leave, which were approved in due course; His plans were to devote a week to a short walking-tour in the neighborhoodnvhich he had hardl as yet had time to see at all; and t n to spend the rest of his leave with his father. According- 1y one fine June morning, stick in hand and knapsack on back, he started on his travels. It was quite early, and, ex- cept for a few wonkmen, the streets were practically deserted. There were also a few sailors hanging awut the dookyard gates. One oi these latter, who had been Sitting on a bundle against the wall, got up as he passed and followed him. Looking round a few minutes afterwards, he noticed that the man was still behind him. “I wonder if that man can be following me for any reason?" he thought, and then smil- ing. at the idea that he was getting as fingety as an old maiden lady, he dis- miescd the subject from his thoughts. IL was a delugihitful morning, bright andexh la: at.iig, and under th; 0. mbin- Ied inuuences' .of Lilo iieshness UL the lweather and his own light heart,he step- lpedout briskly. W hen clear-oi the town, he stoppedlor a minute to readjust the straps or his knapsack. and, While doing so. iii-id leisure to inspect the sailor. who was a few paces 0Lf. His appear- ance was certainly not in him favour. life was about middle height, solidly ly fortune, built, With a short thick neck, and bullet ‘heau surmounted by a fur cap. . his face, when was adorned by a 801110- by brook beard and moustache, indicatâ€" ed bot‘h cunning and ferocity. His bun- die and a pair of big sea-boots, as well ‘as an indescribable something about his walk and carriage, showed him to be ‘ a sailor. Blut had it not been [or these, ‘ one would have felt more inclined to put .llllm down as a professional burglar than anything else. ' \Vhiat, then. was Ogilvie's astonish- iment when, just as he was putting on ; ‘hiis knapsack again. the individual we "have described, waiked cooly up to him . and thins accosted him: ” And so you're gCaptirig Forward." I To the best of his knowledge, the man .was an utter stranger; and he was so taken aback with h.s imper‘tiiience. that , for a second or two he continued to take [stock of him before answering. “ Yes." he replied. "I am Mr. Forward." ‘ find you don't remember me?" o.Il ‘ " What !_ you don't remember your old lpal. Charlie Millerâ€"and we used to be ,that fond of each other, too, we used. 1 Now, try to think, capting; sure-1y, you fmustlremember Charlie." llavmg said this in a mocking tone, the man reâ€" ‘mained. Ilooking at Ogilvic, his face iformed into a halfâ€"sneer, half-grin, which had the effect of making him look absoiutely hideous. . Suddenly a light broke on Ogilvie; it all cameback to his memory now. the old days at Ulswick. and the little pauâ€" pers. his companions. He did rememâ€" ber him. With an inward shudder he had to acknowledge to himself that this person had once been his friend. Naturally kind-hearted. he would. un- der ordinary Circumstances. have been only _too glad to do a good turn to one of bus old associates. notwithstanding that their present paths of life, were. and necessarily must be. on levels so very different. He made, moreover. a shrewd guess that it was not alone for the pleasure of greeting an old ac- quaintance that Miller had tracked him down; and events showed that he was right. " Now. that you remind me," be con- tinued. " I do remember you. You were 1 one of my playmates before Colonel For- tward adopted me. How did you find lout where I was lâ€"and what can I do ‘ for you i" I ” All! now you're beginning to. ak. You were only talking before.â€"- ever mind how I found you outâ€"that don't matter.

What I wants is L. and S. and D; but chiefly L. and that with a fifty after is; that's what I want.” ” Fifty pounds!" said Ogilvie. "I cannot give you as much as thatâ€"cer- tainly not now. But why do you want it n " \Vell. casting. you see.

After all but for a strange turn of the wheel of fortune he would very likely have been his friend to this very day . and been instrumental in keeping him straight. “Look here, Miller," he said. "I have not forgotten that we were boys together; but cir- cumstances have altered our positions, and we can have nothing in common now. Here is a sovereign.

IS GIBRALTAR USELESS? â€"-â€" Modern Artillery and its Former Candl- lioiis of lmprcgnablllly. An article of exceptional interestâ€"- evidently written by a. Spanish mili- tary officerâ€"appears in the current her of the Memorial de Artilleria. shtiwing that the extended range of mo- dern artillery has completely revoluâ€" tionized the conditions which have hith- erto enabled Gibraltar to protect its own arsenal and dock yard and to af- ford safety for vessels at anchor under the guns of the fortress. \Vhen Gibraltar was taken by the English in 1704 the greatest range for artillery fire was only about three thou- sand yards, so that a fleet under the batteries of Gibraltar was secure against attack from the Spanish court. It is now pointed out that with a comparatively small expenditure of money by the Spanish Government bat- teries Constructed in the Bay of Alge- ciras, upon the ridge of mountains known as the Queen of Spain's Chair, would actually command Gibraltar at a distance of 9,000 yards, and would be capable of demolishing the whole length of the fortifications from the Galleries to Europe Point. These Spanish bat- teries would also threaten the entry of ships of war to the Moles. This plan would merely involve the mounting of some forty heavy guns of from 4.7- inch, to 12-inch calibre, and a similar number of 'howitzers. At the present moment the strategi- cal points on Life part of the. Spanish coast are entirely unfortified. and with Spain's present embarrassments in Cuba and the. Philippines. it is not likely, as the Broad Arrow points out. that the Madrid Government will take im- mediate action in the matter. But that these batteries may be constructed some day or other is far from impro- bable, and in view of the great im- portance to England of Gibraltar as a naval base, and the renewed e. ndio t‘ure upon its combined arsena and dockyard. the subject is beginning to attract the serious attention of naval and military authorities.

As the pain will enable the owners to generate MORE HORSE POWER than can be done with the present tun- nel at Niagara Falls. where millionspf dollars have been spent, it will readily be seen that the scheme is a gigantic one. . It is understood that English capital has been interested within the past few weeks. and that the request for power has been made which will exceed the iii-ll capacity.
