are in possession of nearly complete lists of casualties on the American sftle, nnd of more ot less accurate estimates of losses inflicted upon the Spaniards during the war, which lasted only 114 days. The double total ia probably less than that of
single battles in our civil war. The Spanish casualties are. of course, far greater than ours, but are difficult to estimate because of conflicting reports.
The first defenders of Spanish honor to
fall in the war were undoubtedly killed at
the bombardment of Matanzas, on April
E7, the war having been declared by I. oncress to have commenced April 21. Shortfar after this the cruiser New York fought some Spanish cavalry at Cabanas, thirty-

CHAPT'3R II. (Continued "I think Hirbert looks rather glum," said Miss Oakeley when she returned to her aunt, who wns sitting very straight up, with a frown on her cold face. "You observe it. too? and I am not surprised Mabel is so greatly attached to her guardian that his word is law. Heaven knows 1 an: the last to think evil, but I cannot forget that her mother married the late Captain Wynn during the lifetime of her first husband."
"Why, auntie!" cried Miss Oakeley in a tone of delimited excitement, "you do not mean to say that she committed blga my ?" "No, Honrie-ia. but, what was as badshe left her husband for arother man." "Well, perhaps number one was a brute; to be sure. I am not a strictly religious, high-toned woman. I should scent out more wickedness if I were." Meanwhile Colonel and Mrs. Callander drove home in silence, and found that Dorothy had ;one to bed, but the lamp was still alight in the pretty drawing room. Two or three letters, which had come by the last post, lay upon the table. Callander stood rending tlu-m beside the light. Mabel threw aside the white Indian shawl in which she had been wrapped, and watcied him while he rend. He had aged certainly there was a heaviness nbont his brov that used not to be there. Would he ever be quite the same as he was before thi.t unfortunate sunstroke? Presently he laid down his letters with a sigh. "There is nithing unpleasant in them, dear?" nslted his wife, coining timidly'to him, and, slipping her arm through his, pressed her fair young head against his shoulder. "Nothing whatever; they are of no importance." He stood quite still, and Mabel, still pressing against him, said: "Does anything disturb ur worry yon, Herbert? I cannot help fancying " she stopped i bruptly. lie looked down
into the swe;t face uplifted to ins so
gravely, that she could not continue and yet he made ao movement to return her caress.
What is there to make me unhappy?"
he asked in u cold, composed voice. I
am with those I love and I believe, love
me. I have dear children, and a sweet
wife. Oh, how sweet and fair," he exclaimed, with a sudden change of tone,
and, clasping her in his arms, he gazed into her eyes us if he would draw out the secrets of her soul. "Whom I love too
well too well!" She felt the strong beat
ing of his heart ns he strained her to him,
and his lips clung to hers in a long, passionate kiss.
Suddenly he released her. "Are yon
cold, that von shivered sof" he asked
nulcklv.
"No. not at all but nut you make me
a little uneasy, no nor iotuh me away
ns If I were a naughty child, Herbert.
You know I love you !" She took his arm

If 1 did not uenevc it, cnaos woum

Toral declined to estimate the total Span
ish losses there. It Is safe to say that their loss in killed in battle on land and sea is several times our loss in dead. Ac
cording to the estimate at hand the navy has lost: Killed, 1 officer and 18 men (including Cadet Boardman, accidentally
shot at Cape San Juan Aug. 10); wound
ed, 3 officers and 40 men. The army has
lost: tilled, 23 officers and 218 men
wounded, 87 officers and 1,310 men. Total American loss, 24 officers and 249 men
killed, 90 officers and 1,350 men wounded The estimating of the mtmlicr of Ameri
can soldiers who lost their lives through
sickness in the war is a more difficult mat
ter, because of the Inck of complete re
ports from all hospitals. At present the Now Department has no sufficient data
on the motcr. As to the army, 250"
deaths is a conservative estimate.
The land that Spain must add to men
and ships in her column of losses includes Cuba's 43.319 square miles. Porto ltico

much abroad, and lie liked the repose nnd refinement of Mabel's home. Though no longer young, he had still nil the vigor and
clnsticity of youth, and was not yet cmiied by the effects of a tolerably wide experience.
The da ? before that fixed for Egcrton s
yachting party, not finding Dorothy in the
house or garden, Standlsn started m
search of htr, and, knowing her haunts.
wns not long in discovering his ward, fenc was kneeling ou the short, partially
bleached herbage winch covered a low rising ground at some little distance eastward from the Knoll; behind it the sun
bad already sunk, leaving the waters of
the bay somewhat dull and mournful.
I looked for you in vain, began Stan-
dish, when, Dorothy, her hands full of the long grasses she had been gathering, started to her feet with a low cry, a startled, pathetic expression on her mobile face. "1 have frightened you," said Standish, smil
ing. "Why, where nre your thoughts, Dorothy?"
"Not verv far, Paul," beginning to tie
her trasses together. "They are uever
very far from me ot present.
Hum! That might oe accounted tor
in two ways.
"How?' "They may be occupied by Mabel. Thc.v
may possiniy owi-n ou our iusciuuuiik friend Egerton."
Fascinating! Do you tnink mm fasci
nating?'
"Weil, I am scarcely a judge: but he is handsome, accomplished fellow." "Yes, he is, and you are right. I was
thinking of him." blip uttered these words with the utmost composure.
Standish looked nt her with steady scru
tiny, but she did not perceive it. I am
waiting for further coutessions, ue sum
at length.
I have nothing to confess, raui, ai
least, not at present." Mic paused, and then went on: "Mr. Kgerton's mother was a Spaninrd, was she not?"
"Yes, I believe so. lie looks like a
Spaniard himself."
He does, anu i tninK no couio oe very
revengeful. I feel afraid of him sometimes."
What, do you think he will plunge n
stiletto in your heart because oh, say because you walked with me?"
A faint color rose in Dorothy s cheek.
but she laughed low and exclaimed:
"That would It too iiiigocai: lou are
my guardian, and I have a sort of right to ..........
"A right I snail never question, ioro-
thy." His voice grew soft as he spoke.
Thank you, sue anio genuy. men
she made a stiddeu movement. lA-t us
go back," she exclaimed, "that dreary 'coking sen makes me sad."
"My dear Dorothy, you cannot be yourself, or you would not liav? these sickly fancies. You have everything in the world
to make you happy, so pray call up your
common sense, of which yon hnve plenty.
"I will. Paul," said Dorothy, laughing.
"Come, let us walk back, and we Khiill
be in time fcr lea."
An hour later Col. Cnllnnder and his mother were taking a fiuul turn upon the pier. Their conversation bud not been pleastnt or exhilarating. Mrs. Callander looked more than usually severe, and her mouth was rigidly closed save when she opened it to speak. Callander's face wns white set there was a dull burning glow in his eyes. "You mny turn a deaf cur to me it you will," said the dowager- as they approached the gate .vhk-h led to the Ksplanade, inte idiug to return to the hotel -"but I am right, I know I am!" lie made no answer- and they advanced slowly till, catching sight of a group on the common below, Mrs. Callander paused and pointed to it. The group consisted of
Mabel, Standish and little Dolly as they looked, Mabel took her ex-giinrdian's arm,
and, slackening her pnee. see::iied to lie conversing with profound interest. "oil see," said Mrs. Cnllnnder. "they are never long apart. Be warned In time, Ilerliert! You know what blood she lias iu her veins you know her mother's history!" "Be silent," be interrupted in a strange, hnlf-choked voice. "You do not know what yon nre saying! My wife is spotless-will be spotless so loim ns she lives!
Nevrr dare to touch upon this topic again.
l"nut mv honor to myself, I know how
to keep it clean."
T) the imperious woman s surprise, tie
turned, and leaving her to make her way
as she best could alone to l er temporary
abide, walked rapidly forward to overtale his wife.
Vhe morning of the day whi ?h r,g?rton
had fixed for his party wns bright and
clear, with n little more breeze than some
his guests approved. The- object of
the voyage i,as to visit the remains of an old Norman castle, which crowned some
picturesque cliffs, about eight or nine miles east of Fordsea also t'i Inspect a curious rocky islet not far from it, on which a modern lighthouse replaced the Beacon of a llirinit, who iu former days devoted himself to keep it alive, nnd according to the legend, built himself a
chapel without any human aid. The ruins
of this remarkable edifice were stiil vis! hie from the sea.
At breakfast a slight change of plans took place as Mabel suggested that she feared she was too indifferent a sailor to
efijoy the excursion by sea mid with a pretty coaxing air, asked Callander to drive her to Bavenstone, which was nearer by !snd than by water. He consented very readily, and Standish undertook to escort Dorothy. The party was not very large, but bright and sociable, though Mrs. Callander senior, who honored it by her presence, was somewhat snappish "it wns so thoughtless of Mabel to expose her husband to the glare and sun on that unsheltered road!" she said, "and for n mere whim!" Egerton, too, was rather silent and cyn cal, when he did speak. There was enough breeze to give life ond motion, the rippling waters glittered in the sun, and the music of a band stationed amidships made a delightful undercurrent of harmony. Yet Dorothy looked thoughtful nnd preoccupied. "Mrs. Callander Has fi-uiid it more con
venient to go below," said Stiindish, placing bis camp stool beside Dorothy as she sat iu the stern, watching the shadows of the swift-sailing clouds as they flitted over the water. "Miss Oakeley seems to consider it her duty to rouse St. John"s dormant mental energies, and the rest of the ladies are neglecting their cavaliers, to amuse and interest our fascinating host. So I beg you will devote yourself to me, Dorothy." "With pleasure!" she returned, smiling. "Arc you still In the doleiuls?" asked
Standish, looking keenly at her. "No yet I am uneasy! I was so glad Mabel decided to drive with Herbert to Bavenstone, but I went into her room just before I came away and found Nurse giving her sal-volatile she had almost fainted! She seems to me to lose strength instead of gaining it." "That must be your fancy, Dorothy!" "I do not believe it is! I told her she ought to make Herbert take her quite away from every one for a f.'W weeks to Scotland or Switzerland, or Sweden or Norway. It would do them both so much good!" "You are a wise little wenmn. I believe, too, it would be a ccmr lete cure." "Mabel seemed to like tl idea, and said she would mention "
"Standish!" said their host, interrupting her "Miss Oakeley is asking for you; she
says you know the Legend of the Island
Hermit! I thlak s:.c is getting a little tired of her benevolent efforts."
Standish rose somewhat remctatitly, and
Egerton took his place, which lie kept for a considerable time. When the voyage waa ccomplished, and the yacht glided into a small rock-inclosed creek, at the foot of v.iiich nettled a few fishermen's cabins, and the iuevitaWo tavern, they found Col. Callander mid Mabel waiting on the rule little jetty alongside which the yacht found ample dtpth of water. It being luncheon time, Kijerton proposed having thai: meal served on deck, before they attempted the steep ascent. His suggestion ivus adopted unanimously, and a gay repsst ensued. M'S. Callander sat on her host's right, apparently not much the worse for her vcy.ige, and supported on the other side by the Itev. S. Cole, with whom she exchanged from time to time a few words disapproving the fun and laughter going on around her. Intimately she preferred
a comfortable seat on deck, an early cup of ten, and the society of her favorite di
vine to a long fatiguing walk to inspect
relics of the past which did not interest hr.
The rest set forth to malte their way
upwards to the old Towers which frowned
above nt so formidable a height.
Kgerton took charge of Dorothy so de
cidedly that they were pretty well left to
themselves.
"It is a terribly ruined ruin," remarked Egerton, when they had finished their explorations, "come, let us make our way down. There is n pretty nook I want to
show you you have, I know, an urtist's
eye for benuty."
Dorothy found then that they had lingered to the last, and that MaU'l had taken her husband's arm tind was walking away between hint and Standish. Dorothy wns a little vexed that her guardian had scarcely spoken to her since Kgerton had interrupted their conversation in the morning; she was consequently more disposed to be friendly with her host. About half way between the ruins and the pier a faintly marked footpath turned to the left, leading apparently across the face of the cliff. "Let me diow you the way," said Kgerton, passiug her. "Is there a footing?" ake.l Dorothy. "Trust me!" he returned, and following him she soon found herself ou a small projecting platform, in front of which some gorse bushes and several mossgrown stones formed a natural parapet, while a fragment of rock served for a seatthe outlook over the sea, to the lighthouse nnd chapel on the isl. before mentioned, made a delightfully tranquil, picturesque scene. "This is charming." cried Dorothy. "How sweet and peaceful!" "Yes, It Is sweet. Do sit down for a few minutes and forgive m-, if I am abrupt, but I seldom have a chance of speak
ing to you alone. I cannot lose this precious moment. Will yu lii-ton to me? 1
want to tell you what I 'liink of you." "Don't be t"0 co-.nplin cntury," said Dorothy, with u little iiicay laugh. "No, I shall speak the truth. Well, then, I think you are the brightest, sauciest, most womanly girl that ever charmed a man's heart- and the desire of mine is to call yon my wife, sweet Dorothy!" He tried to take her hnni; she drew it hastily away with a startled look. "Will you not speak to me?" he continued. "I do not know how to pcak to you, Mr. Kgerton," in n distressed voice. "I do not I do not seem Mf to believe you--to believe that yon love me I mean, when J do not love you, for, indc-d, I do not." "1 know that only too will. Hut let me
try to teach yeu. If you love no one else, I may succeed. Do you love anyone, Dorothy?" "No, indeed I do not, but somehow, Mr. Kgerton, I do not think 1 should ever lovp yon, nor do 1 feel 1 um the sort of girl you ought to marry " She bnke off nbruptly. "I am qnlte old enough to know my own mind," said Kgerton abruptly. "If yeni heart is free, I will not accept your present 'no' as final. I am desperately persevering, when my heart is set on anything, as it is now, Dorothy!'' "Still, Mr. Kgerton, do not think me unkind, but but I do not believe 1 shall over cll:ui,'c." "We shall see. Now you are looking uneasy. 1 do not want to keep you h -ri ntniiisl your will. Uemember, though, I do not accept your refusal; give me a lit tie

HOLLAND'S SEA FIGHT.
PYTHIANS IN CAMP.
Heavy Hikes Which Arc Ituilt by the Winds Themselves. Appreciating the fact that the high chalk cliffs of England are no protection against tlie son, the Dutch engineers did not attempt to place au artificial vertical wall against Hie waves and the storm tides, but coaxed the sea to deposit Its sands on the shore and so lmilil it up, rather than throw taeni Inland, and thou, hungry for more, eat into the shore. They believed It best to satisfy Its appetite, but Induced it to toy with the sands which its own Hood-currents and waves bring from other shores and from the oiling depths. The sand thus deposited blo-tvs, in the gales, over the Inland
country. The engineers induced it to
stop and build a larrier for them against the sea. One of the heaviest
dikes along the eoaet was built by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the jetties;
becomes dry in sunny wentner, mm the surface Is blown ashore when the wind is iu that direction. It was desired to build it strong dike to connect
with the sand dunes. This was accoui
nlisbexl by sotting iu the sand In rows
about a foot apart tufts or dune sou crass near by. The tufts were placed
about a foot apart simply little hand
fuls of grass. The place for each tuft was dug out with the hands, the tuft set into it and the sand pressed against It. The whole surface of the dry, sanilv iHweh nlxive liigli tide was cov
ered with this plantation, and Just
back of it, at the highest point of the, existing sandy area, one or two rows of reeds were set Into the sand, their tops cut off, and the stalks left standing about four feet above the sand. The sand, drifting along over the surface, catches nnd in one windy day will almost bury the tnf:s of grass atirl stand up a foot.ulong the rows of rjeds.
Then another plantation was mauo,
and another, until a uiassive dike was
built up to the height oi the adjoining dike. In high storm titles the waves will eat. Into the toe of the slope and pull down the sand, but by the same process of building the dike Is again restored to Its former sl-c Engineering Magazine. The Largest Forest in the World. It appears that Siberia, from the plain of the Obi Kiver on the west to tins valley of the Indlghlrka on the east, embracing the great plains or river valleys of the Yenisei, Olenek, Lenn. and Ynna Rivers, is one gtent limner belt,

three thousand miles, l miko. equatorial forests, the trees of tue Slberlun taigas are mainly conifers, comprising pines of several varieties, firs and larches. In the Yenisei, Lena and Olenek regions there are thousands of square miles where no human being has ever been. The long-stemmed conifers rise to n height of one hundred and fifty feet or more, nnd stand so closely "togothcr that walking amoug
them is difllcult. The dense, lotty tops exclude the pale, arctic sunshine, and the straight, pale trunks, all looking exactly alike, so bewilder the eye In the obscurity that all sense of direction Is soon lost. Even the most experienced trappers of sable dare not venture into the dense tnlgns without taking the precaution of "blazing" the trees constantly with hatchets as they wnlk forward.
