TSy Fergtis grCH AFTER XXI. (Continued.) "One nizht," pursued G.ton, in a low, concentrated voice, grasping Meddlechip's wrist firmly, and looking at him wiih fiery ejes, "Braulard prepared a poison, a narcotic which was quick in its action, fatal In its results. He goes to the house of Adele Hlondet at half past twelve o'clock the hour now, he said, rapidly swinging round and pointing to the clock on the mantelpiece, which had just struck the half hour; "he found them at supper," releasing Meddlechip's wrist and crossing to the sofa; "he sat opposite Kestrike, as he does now, leaning forward and glaring at Meddlechip, who shrank back In hi chair. "Adele, at the heai d the table, laughs and smiles; she loo her old lover and sees murder in Lice; she is ill and retires to anotner rcorn. Kestrike follows her to see what is the matter. Braulard is left alone; he produces a bottle and pours its contents Into a cup of coffee, waiting for Adele. Kstrik return?, saying Adele is ill; '.he wants a drink. He takes her the poif;onad cup of coffee; she drinks it and füllt" with a long breath "asleep. Kestji.e returns to the room, asks Braulari to leave the house. Braulard refuses. Kestrike is afraid, and would leave bims-jif : he rises from the table; so does Braulard" here Gaston rose and crossed to Meddlechip, who was also on his feet "he goes to Kestrike, seizes his wrist, thus drags him to the next room, and there lies Adele Blondet dead killed by the poison of one lover given her by the other and the murderers look at one another thus." Meddlechip wrenched his hand from Vgndeloup'g iron grip and falls back ghastly white in his chair, with a strangled cry, while the Frenchman stood over fcha wiih ej3 jleamin with hatred. "Kestrik, pursued Vandeloup, rapidly, "is little known in Paris his name it an assumed one he leaves France before the police can discover how he has poisoned Adele Blondet, cresses to England and returns to Australia, where he la called--Meddlechip." The man in the chair threw up his kands, as if to keep the other off, and ottered a stifled cry. "lie then goes to China," went on Gaston, bending nearer to the shrinking figaxe, "and returns after twelve mouths, where he meets Octave Braulard yes, the two murderers meet in Melbourne ! How came Braulard here? Was it chance? No. Was it design? No. Was it Fate? Yes." lie hissed the words in Meddlechip's ear, and the wretched man shrank away from hiia again. "Braulard," pursued Vandeloup. in a calmer tone, "also left the house of Adele Blondet. She is found dead; one of her lovers cannot be found; the other, Braulard, is accused of the crime; he defies the police to prove it; she has been poisoned. Bah ! there is no trace. Braulard will go free. Stop ! who is this man callAd Prevol who appears? He is a fellow otndent of Braulard'a, and knows the poison, Braulard is lost! Prevol examines the body, proves that poison has been given by whom? Braulard, and none other. He is sentenced to death; but he is so handsome that Paris urges pardon., No; it is not according to the law. Still, pare hi life? Yes. His life is spared. The callevs at Toulon? No. New Cale donia? Yes. lie is sent there. But is Braulard a coward? No. Does he rest as a cwnvict? No. He makes frw-nds with another convict; they steal a boat, and fly the island ; they drift, and drift, for daya and days ; the sun rises, the sun sets 5till they drift; their food is giving out, the water in the barrel is low ! are they to die of thirst and famine? No. The sky is red like blood the sun is sinking; land is in the distance they are saved !" falling on his knee ; "they are saved." IfeddlecLip. who had recovered himself, nlped his face with his handkerhcief, and sneered with his white lips at the theatrical way Gaston was beaving in. "You know a secret," said Meddlechip, nervously, "which is dangerous to me; you want to Kell it; well, I will be the buyer name your price." "Five hundred pounds," said Vandeloup, quietly. "I that all?" asked the other, with a tart of surprise ; I was prepared for five thousand." I am not exorbitant in my demands," answered Vandeloup, siroothly ; "and I have a scheme on hand by which I may make a lot of money five hundred pounds is sufficient to do what I want. If the ocheme succeeds I will be rich enough to do without any more money froia yon." CHAPTER XXII. Whei Kitty left Mrs. Pulchop's residence sie had no very definite idea as to what she was going to do with herself. Her sole thought was to get as far away from hr former life as possible to disappear in the cro-vd and never to be heard of again. Poor little soul, she never for a moment dreamed that it was a case of at of the frying pan into the fire, and that the world at large might prove more cruel to Ivr than Vandeloup. She went into town and wandered about listlessly, not knowing when to go, till nearly VI o'clock, and the streets were gradually emptying themselves of their crowds. She knew there was a cab starting opposite the Town Hall vbich went to Richmond, and determined to gf? hoaia. At the top of the block, a party of joins men in evening dress came round the corner inin. Tlw9 were cone other than Barty and hi friends, rip for any mischief. IMhhorp and Barty were walking arm ir. ami. "Ilnl'or cried Bellthorn; "girl pretty ir Kitty tried to get away from this crew, bat they all closed round her, and she wrung her hands in despair. "Gentlemen !" said a rich, roiling voice, which proceeded from a portly man who load just appeared on the sr?ne, "I am astonished." "Oh!" cried Kitty, "it's Mr. Wopples." The snaj.'," said the airy Theodore, Uring his hand on his heart, "and yon, my dear why, bless me, looking closely at her, "it is the pretty girl I met in Ballarat dear, dear. I- will be yocr friend, said the actor, emphatically, taking her arm and walking slowly dawn the street. Kitty told him how she had left Fallarat, but suppressed the name of her busband, as she dkl not want any blame to fall on him. But all the rest she told freely, and how on that night she had left the man who had wedded and then iractuily deaened her. "Oh. vile human nature.'' said Wopples, In a Konorous tone. "Where," he continv ted, looking inquiringly at the serene ky, "where are the thunderbolts of heavk n that they fall not on such?" Mr. Wopples told Kitty he would take I ir home to the family, and as they were ;t starting out on tour again, she could '; ; tue with them. "But will Mrs. Wopples receive me V t, deed Kitty, timidly. "My dear," said the actor, gravely, "ray lfe is a good woman, and a mother herIf, so she can feel for & poor child like 1, tf. In future I will be your father; X r- Wopples, your mother, and you will ; fre ten brother and sisters all star art"How kind yoa are.' sobbed Kitty,

Midas

Hume clinging trustfully to him as they went along. "I only do unto others as I would be done by," said Mr. Wopples, solemnly. "That sentiment," continued the actor, taking off his hat, "was uttered by One who will always remain the sublimest type of perfect manhood the world has ever seen." Kitty did not answer, and they walked quickly along; and surely this one good deed more than compensated for the rest of the actor's failings. Vandeloup next morning went to the City of Melbourne bank, and cashed Meddlechip's check for five hundred pounds, then, calling a hansom, he drove along to the Hibernian bank, where he had an account, and paid it in to his credit, reserving ten pounds for his immediate use. Then hi? re-entered his hansom, and went along to the office of a stock broker called Polglaze. Polglaxe was a short, stout man, scrupulously dressed, with iron gray hair standing straight up, and a habit of dropping out his words one at a time, so that the listener bad to construct quite a little history between in order to arrive at their meaning, and the connection they had with one another. "Morning !' said Polglaze, letting the salutation fly out of his mouth rapidly, and then closing it again in case any other word might be waiting ready to pop out unbeknown to him. "I want you to buy me some Magpie Reef shares," said Vandeloup. "Many?" . dropped out of Polglaae's mouth, and then it shut again with a snap. "Depends on the price, replied Vandeloup, with a shrug; "I see in the papers they are four shillings." Mr. Polglase took up his share book, and rapidly turned over the leaves found what he wanted and nodded. "Oh !" said Vandeloup, making a rapid mental calculation, "then buy me two thousand five hundred. That will be about fire hundred pounds worth. Your commission, I presume, will be threepence?" "Sixpence," interrupted the stock broker. "Oh, I thought it was threepence, 'answered Vandeloup, quietly; "however, that does not make any difference to me. Your commission at that rate will be twelve pounds ten shillings?" Polglaze nodded, and sat looking at Vandeloup like a stony mercantile sphinx. "If you will, then, buy me these shares, said Vandeloup, rising and taking up his gloves and hat, "when am I to come along and see you?" "Four," said Polglaze. "Very well, said Vandeloup, quietly. "IH give you a check for that amount, then. There's nothing more to be said, I believe?" and he walked over to the door. "Say," from Polglaze. "Yes," replied Gaston, indolently, swinging his stick to and fro. "New?" inquired the stock broker. . "You mean to thi9 sort of thing?" said Vandeloup, looking at him, and receiving a nod in token of acquiescence, added, "entirely." "Risky," dropped from the Polglaze mouth. "I never knew a gold mine that wasn't," retorted Vandeloup, dryly. "Bad," ia an assertive tone, from Polglaze. "This particular mine, I suppose you mean?" said Gaston, with a yawn, "very likely it is. However, I am willing to take the risk. Good day! See you at four," and with a careless nod M. Vandeloup lounged out of the office. He walked along Collins street, met a few friends, and kept a lookout for Kitty. He, however, did not see her, but there was a surprise in store for him, for turn ing round into Swanston street he came across Archie Mcintosh. Yes, there he was. with his grim, severe Scotch face, with the white frill round it, and Gaston smiled as he saw the old man, dressed rigid broadcloth. "Ah, laddie," said Mcintosh, irritably. "Have ye seen anything o' the girl that rin away?" "Oh, Miss Marrhurstr said Vande loup, smoothly, ready with a lie at once. "No, I'm sorry to say I've never set eyes on her." "The mistress Is Just crazy about her. observed Mcintosh, querulously ; "and she's looking all through the town, to find the poor wee thing.." "I hope she will," said Vandeloup, who devoutly hoped she wouldnt. Vandeloup took Mcintosh to th& dab and introduced him all round as tbr man ager of the famous Pactolus. All the young men were wonderfully takm up with Archie and his plain speaking. Finally he left Vandeloup to go down to Madame Midas at St. Kilda, and bearing a message from the Frenchman that he would call there the next day. Archie having departed, Vandeloup got through the rest of the day as best he could. He met Mr. Wopples in the street, who told him how he had found Kitty, quite unaware that the young man before him was the husband who had deserted her. Vandeloup was delighted to think that Kitty had not mentioned his name. and S'xite approved of Mr. Wopples' intention to take the girl on tour. Having thus arranged for Kitty's future, Gaston went alot to his broker, and found the astute Poljlaze bad got him his shares "Going up," said Polglaze, as he hand ed the scrip to Vandeloup and got a check In exchange. "Oh, indeed!" said Vandeloup, with a smile. "I suppose my two friends have begun their little game already," he thought, as he slipped the scrip into his breast pocaet. "Information?" asked Polglaze, as Vandeloup was going. "Oh! you'd like to know where I got it,' said M. Vandeloup, amiably. "Very sorry I can't tell you; but you see, my dear sir, I am not a woman, and can keep a secret." Vandelonp walked out, and Polglaze looked after him with n puzzled look, then summed up his opinion in one Word, sharp, incisive, and to the point. "Clever," said Polglaze, and put the check in his safe. "Bebe is out of my way," thought Van deloup with a smile; "I have a small fortune in my pocket, and," ' he continued, thoughtfully, "Madame Midas is In Melbourne. I think now," said M. Vandeloup, with another smile, "that I have conquered the blind goddess." CIIAITKK XXIII. . Madame Midjs had experienced poverty and the coldness of friends, so was completely disillusionized as to the disinterested motives of the people who now came flocking around her. She was very wealthy and determined to stop in Melbourne f jr a year, and then go home to Europe, so to this end the took a house ' at St. Kilda. Vandeloup called on Madame Midas the day after she arrived, and Mrs. Villiera was delighted to see him. Ilaving an object in view, of course Gaston made himself as charming as possible, and assisted M.dame to arrange her house, told bar j about the people who called on her, and ' made cyalcal remarks about them, all of which amused Madame Mldaa mightily, She grew weary of the inane gabble and

i narrow understandings of people, and it j was quite a relief for her to turn to VanI deloup, with a keen tongue and clever

brains. Vandeloup had prospered in his little venture in the mining market, for the Magpie Reef shares ran up rapidly. A telegram was published from the manager stating a rich reef had been struck. Specimens of the very richest kind were displayed in Melbourne, and the confiding public suddenly woke to the fact that a golden tide was flowing past their doors. They rushed the share market, and in two weeks the Magpie Reef shares ran from four shillings to as many pounds. Vandeloup intended to sell at one pound, but when he saw. the rapid rise and heard every one talking about this reef, he held his shares till they touched four pounds, then, quite satisfied with his profit, he sold out at once and pocketed nearly ten thousand pounds, so that he was provided for the rest of his life. Kitty meanwhile had become a great favorite with the Wopples family, and they made a wonderful pet of her. Of course, being in Rome, she did as the Ro: m .ns did, and went on the stage as Miss Kathleen Wopples, being endowed with the family name for dramatic reasons. The family were now on tour among the small towns of Victoria, and seemed to be well known, as each member got a reception when he or she appeared on the stage. (To b continued.) LOTS OF WORK FOR THE LIVER. Manufacturer, Scavenger, Filter, Life Preserver and Closed Door. The business of the liver is to manu facture antidotes for poisons, says Sanderson's Magazine. It 1 a rendering establishment to which the little corpses that accumulate In the body are car ried to be destroyed, just as in the cities dead animals are gathered up by a scavenger and converted Into useful things. All the corpuscles of the body die every six weeks. Every second of our lives something like 18,000,000 of these red celis have to be disposed of and the liver does part of Uw work of grinding them up and working them over into something useful. The red corpuscle have potash in them, which Is used for making bile. The bile U a kind of lye for making soap in the small intestines. The soap. like all good home-made soaps, Is dis infectant; it is a splendid antiseptic and germicide. The coloring matter is carefully saved out of these red cells, and sent beck Into the body to be used for dyeing the hair, tinting the skin and painting the dark chambers of the eye where the photographing is done. If the liver does not do this work as efficiently as It ought, these little corpses accumulate In the body, la" other words, the body becomes a sepulcher and we carry about with us dead things that should have been discharg ed from the body through the bowels, the kidneys, the skin and the lungs, and should have returned to dust again. The liver Is a closed door which keeps poisons out of the rest of the body. The kidneys, skin and lungs are open doors to let the poisons escape from the body. When there comes such a flood upon the liver It cannot keep the door shut it Is forced open a little way and lets the poisons through Into the blood. Then -the blood is not purified, the impurities go through and the body be comes filled with them. The brain be comes confused, dull, stupid and the man feels bilious; the poisons get Into the muscles and he feels weary and worn out ; they get Into the nerves and' he has sciatica or lumbago; the nerve centers get Irritable and Inefficient and there U nervous exhaustion and ierhaps melancholia. All the food taken into the stomach is filtered by the liver before It Is absorbed. That Is why one can, with apparent Impunity, tike si'ch things as tea and coffee, whisky, beer, tobacco, etc. All these Impurities are passed through the liver -before they get Into the general circulation. If they should go straight to the brain the drinker would die shortly after taklug his glass of whisky. When the liver is plump and healthy, full of glycogen made from the blood! it has a wonderfu faculty of destroying poisons; but a starved liver cannot do this. A dose of medicine taken on an empty stomach Is much more powerful in It3 effects than a similar dose taken when the stomach furnishes the liver with material which It makes use of to fight poisons. A Habit. Occasionally the brightest lawyer en counters a witness whose answers are a disappointment to him, says a writer In the Boston Herald. It Is said that the late Governor Koblnson was one day examining a man from whom he was trying to get a definition of a mira cle. "If a man should fall from a thirdstory window," he said, 'and should strike on his head on a stone walk, and get up and go away unhurt, what would that be?" "That would be au accident," said the witness. "Well, If the same man next day fell from the same window, struck on the same spot, on his head again, and again walked away unhurt, what would tnat be?" "That would be a coincidence." "Very well," said the lawyer, patiently and certain that he had his man at last ; "u)w, if on a third day the same man fell again from the same window on the same spot, on his head, and again walked away unhurt, what would you call that?" "The same man?" demanded the witness. Yes." "The same window?" "Yes." "And fall on the same sidewalk?" MYes." "1 should call that a habit." Nothin Doln.

THE BATTLE-FIELDS.

OLD SOLDIERS TALK OVER ARMY EXPERIENCES. The Bine and the Gray Review Incidents of the Late War, and in a Graphic and Interesting Manner Tell of Camp, March and Battle. "Sergeant David U. McCollougb," said the captain, "was carrying the colors of the Fifty-Second Ohio when we made the assault on Kenesow, June 27, 1804. He was at the nbattis in front of the main rebel works when he was shot through the shoulder. As one of the color guards caught him and lowered him to the ground MeCollough handed Major J. T. Holmes, then in command of the Fifty -second, the colors and said: Take them, Major; they never touched the ground. "The Major grasped the colors, gave them to one of the corporals of the color guard, and led the way through the obstructions. At first the colors were planted on top of the rebel works. When they were shot down and the flagstaff splintered, the boys cut a canteen In strips, repaired the staff, and planted the colors In the loose earth at the foot of the works. I remember that a rebel captain was killed In trying to get the flag while It was on top of the works, and when the burial parties went out between the lines to look after the dead, the adjutant of the Rock City guards told me that he saw Col. Dan McCook on top of the works, and said further that officers and men were amazed to see him there and to bear him coolly demand their surrender. For a minute no one fired. Then came the fusillade that fatally wounded the coloneL "When we raeced the works, Major Holmes and myself lay down against the glacis face if the fortifications, our heads close together, and our feet wide apart, our bodies making a letter 4 A' on an Inverted V Walters, of company II, came up and lay do.vn between us, his head near the Major's feet- We were watchlnjr the rebels on the opposite Bide of the works and keeping them under cover. Major Holmes spoke to Walters and told him that he wonld be in less danger If he came closer to the works, and explained that located as he was, the rebels could put their guns over the ftreastworks and fire, whereas, if he was on our line, they would have more difficulty In depressing thelx rifles and we could divert the shot, by striking the guns aside, "Walters was watching for an opportunity to get In a, shot, and was so eager that he rose to his knees, then stood up. Before he could fire, however, he was severely wounded on the left side of the neck, the rebel bullft missing the artery, but making an ugly wound, which bled profusely. Before he was struck Walters had been full of fight After he was struck we stood as one dazed, holding his gun mechan ically away from his body. Then, as he saw the blood spurt out and run down his breast, he dropped bis gun, turned, and started on a run back down the hill. "lie never halted until he reached General Morgan's line on the hill across Noyes creek, where we had formed for the charge. It seemed to me that the whole rebel division In front of us opened fire on Walters as he ran, but he escaped without an other scratch. I never laid eyes on him again until we arrived at Coluin bus, Ohio, to be mustered out, when he marched Into camp, and reported to company II. He told me privately that that shot at Kenesaw took nil the sand out of him, and when he got back to Big Shanty he was so confused that he couldn't remember to what command he belonged. lie was sent from BIß Shanty to Chattanooga, from there to xashvme, from there to Louisville, and from there to Colum bus. Ills memory did not return to him. he said with a smile, until bis old regiment marched Into camp to be mus tered out. "At Teach Tree creek, companies II and K crossed the creek on a foot log. and made their way toward the tlm ter In front Before we had gone far we met a heavy column of rebels, and, deploying as skirmishers, we fell back on a house with a paling fence about It. Corporal Coleman of company II, In trying to make his way through the fence in front of the house, was held for some minutes under the fire of the enemy. He got his body through all right, but his knapsack caught In the palings, and in a way to hold him fast He struck out with hands and feet like a man swimming, but In a few mln utes got a grip on himself, coolly un buckled the straps of his knapsack. left It hanging in the fence, and rush ed on with the company to the house, where he did good service, until we were re-enforced by a full brigade." "Several stories," said the Major, "have been told of that burial party at Kenesaw. I was a witness to the In tervlew between Geeral Cheatham and some of our men, who approached him and asked for tobacco. He said Jocularly: I understand. You want to say, when you get back home, that you met General Cheatham of the Confederate array on the battle-field, jnd asked him for a chew of tobacco, and he gave It to you. It would make a very good Btory for you to tell, but I am not going to give yow the tobacco. One of the men said : That Is not the case at all. General. We have no tobacco, and we want some badly.' There upon the General called his orderly, instructed him to go back to camp and bring from his quarters a generous supply of tobacco. This he distribut ed among the men of the burial par "Mrs. Louise Wardner," said the Sergeant, "has a story that is worth telling. She is the wife of Dr. Horace Wardner, who served through the war , as surgeon. Mrs. Wardner was with her husband at the front the greator part of the time and had a good many adventures. Immediately after tae battle of Corinth, In October, 1802, she went on horseback over the battlefield looking after the wounded of General Oglcsby's brigade. She canic upon a German desperately wounded. "She dismounted to comfort what she supposed was a dying man. She aiBcovered that one'leg had been am putted, that there was a wound In shoulder, and a third wound in the the other leg, another wound In the lower part of the fcice. All these wounds hd been received on the first day of th, battle and all were In bad condition. Mrs. Wardner cleansed the wounds as best she could, tore bandages from the klrt of her dress and bound up tho wounds, and then reported the case to the ambulance corps, out looking for wounded. "The next day th brigade Burgeon

asked her to look at the worst case' he had ever seen In hospital. She went to

the hospital and found her German patient of the battlefield. She did not cept the theory that he could not re cover, but gave him sieci:il attention. When the brigade moved from Corinth she left him greatly Improved, but did not see him again for ten or fifteen years. Crossing the Bush street bridge In Chicago, one day, she was startled the bridge-tender calling out, 'Mein by Gctt, it Is the woman what saved my life,' and the man so desperately ounded at Corinth hobbled toward Mrs. Wardner, to meet a very kind re ception." Chicago Inter Ocean. Chrlatmaa on the Picket Line. The armies under Lee and Meade occupied the opposing lines of siege work at Petersburg, Va. on Christmas Day of 1804. I had ridden over from General Warren's headquarters to eal my holiday dinner with an old com rade, Will Gilder, who afterward became famous as an Arctic traveler. I found him and General Egan In a bomb-proof near Fort Hell, on the Je rusalem plank road, and enjoyed a hearty meal amid the shriek of shell and loud detonations of artillery. After dinner and a peaceful pipe Major Gilder and I paid a visit to the outer line of pickets, being obliged to crawl on our hands and knees for two hundred yards to avoid the bullets Which were constantly whistling over our beads, finally we reached the picket line, having given to a brother officer a portion of the good things we had been discussing. As the Captain finished his dinner there was a perceptible slackening In the artillery and musketry fire, until a deep silence fell upon the long Hues of trenches. "The Johnnies have hoisted a flag sir," said a sergeant, as he emerged from a pit near by. "What for?" demanded the Captain and think we have wasted enough ammunltloa. ,-Well, they say It's Christmas Day, Looking over tb edge of our breastworks I saw that the enemy's line was scarcely one hundred 'yards away, and along its ragged edge were ranged thirty or forty heads of the Confederate soldiers, our own line being also alive owing to the Implied truce. "Say, Yanks," cried a tall, sunburned Southerner, "what did yer hev 'or yer Christmas dlLCier?" "Turkey, apple-sauce, cake and rate Ins," replied one of the men at my elbow. "That sounds like old times. I didn't know there were any turkeys nowadays. Say, Yanks, hev yer anything left over?' With one common Impulse half a dozen men sprang to the top of the embankment, their hands full of good things to eat "Come over!" shouted a corporal who stood at the elbow of the entrenchment "Guess we've got enough left to give some of you a Christmas dinner." Three men In butternut clambered over their earthworks and met our men as they advanced over the debat able ground between the lines. To our surprise the Federals came back with a good supply of tobacco, which was quickly distributed. 'Say, Yanks," said the Confederate who had opened the conversation, "we 'uns wish you 'uns a Merry Christ mas." ' "Same to .you," we all shouted back, and there was no more shot or shell along that part of the line during the remainder of that the last Christmas day of the war. Youngest Commlsatoned Officer. J. P. Griuistead, Salem, Neb., while he does not claim to be th?? youngest or oldest soldier, does claim the honor of being the youngest commissioned of ficer, company commander, acting quartermaster and captain In tho service during the Civil War. He was born Jure 15, 1846, and on Oct. 15. 1S01 (15 years and four months), enlisted In company E, Ninth Kentucky. Upon the organization of the company be was appointed fifth sergeant, and In May, 18G2, was made regimental commissary sergeant June 18, 1802, when but 10 years old, he was promoted to second lieutenant and acting quartermaster, which position he held for three months, when he returned to and assumed command of his company. At the second day's battle of Stone Hlver, companies E and. I, having been reduced In numbers, were consolidated, and he was put In temporary command. Immediately after the battle, Jan. 10, 1SC3, he was promoted to first lieutenant, and Sept 15, 18Ci, when 18 years old, he was promoted to captain of company II of the same regiment Comrade Grlmstead has also seen service In the Spanish-American war and In the Philippines, and shouldn't be surprised If he took a whirl Into Cuba.
