Sandico, at Malolos, submitted for approval the names of a number of officers of the territorial militia in the city of Manila.

"I wonder when she'll be back?" "Back? Where from?" "Surely you know she had gone abroad?" The look of surprise in Miss Van Tuyn's face was so obviously genuine that Craven added: "You didn't? Well, she has gone away for some time." "Where to?" "Somewhere on the Riviera, I believe. Probably Cap Martin. But letters are not to be forwarded." "At this time of year! Has she gone away alone?"

I became a monomaniac; one fixed idea haunted me; to flee as quickly as possible that lamentable jail. With that, money worry oppressed me.

Upon a slip of blue paper were a few words from the lawyer. "Forwarded to Mr. Brian Luttrell at Mrs. Luttrell's request on the 25th of October, 1877, by James Colquhoun." Brian opened the letter.

Rousseau's Legion forded the stream and marched up to the State Camp of Instruction, finding the high trestles all secure. The railroad hands went to work at once to rebuild the bridge.

The cotton was sold and the amount forwarded to me in two drafts on New York, one of which I had cashed in that city, and the other in Montgomery. I lost quite a sum by my speculation, as cotton did not rise, but fell. I was perfectly contented to stand the loss, as the stolen money was exchanged.
