A Deserter’s Fate
Nina was a Filipino girl. She was
the daughter of an insurgent leader.
Lieutenant Butterworth and Private
Chadwick had fallen prey to her snap
ping black eyes and pretty face, smil
ing coquettishly beneath a crown of
ink black hair. Butterworth was head
over heels in love with the girl. Chad
wick, less impetuous, was caught by
her sweet simplicity. Yet their friend
ship did not suffer. Rivalry rather
than jealousy was the keynote of their
relations.
“Guy,” said the lieutenant one day,
forgetting rank in a burst of confi
dence: “I can't get away from those
black eyes. They follow me every
where; they are in everything I see;
but, some way, I doubt her sincerity.
I fear she is trying to inveigle us to
join the insurgent cause.”
Private Chadwick said nothing. He
prayed for a call to the field to sever
this attachment. His hopes were real
ized—but partially. The Ninth was or
dered to join in the chase of the insur
gents, but the activity failed to restore
to Lieutenant Butterworth his equilib
rium of mind. Military duties now pre
cluded further Intercourse between the
two friends. In the excitement of bat
tle Private' Chadwick gave the black
eyed Nina but a small place in his
thoughts.
Private Chadwick lounged carelessly
In front of his tent, admiring the beau
ties of the setting sun, which painted
the horizon with glory. He was think
ing of Manila and, for the first time
since he had taken the field, of the
bright eyed Nina. He wondered if
Butterworth had forgotten her. It
was pleasant to recall those happy
days.
“S-s-s-s-t!”
The sound interrupted his reverie. A
dirty, ragged individual stepped from
behind the tent. Looking cautiously to
the right and left he slipped a grimy
bit of paper into Chadwick’s hand.
Guy hastily tore open the note. He
read:
My Dear American Soldier—Prove to me that
you love me. Join us tonight. Papa will make
you a big officer. Nina.
A pang went to his heart. A smol
dering fire flamed up. In spite of this
evidence of her insincerity, Guy now
realized that his feeling for her was
more than mere interest in the girl.
He was disgusted to discover his
weakness.
“Get out of here!” he said in a harsh
voice. “Go tell the one who sent you
that my flag is dearer to me than all
the world, and before I leave it I will
die. Go!”
The effort cost him pain. He crawl
ed back to his tent a miserable man.
The sun had set.
“Private Chadwick’s sick,” comment
ed his comrades.
One ran with the news to Lieutenant
Butter worth’s tent. It was empty.
“The lieutenant went off with a
dirty looking beggar,” said the guard.
“One of his charities, I guess. Said
he’d be back before long.”
Private Chadwick knew otherwise.
He was torn one way by jealousy to
ward Ids erstwhile friend, another way
by auger at the girl who had played
him false. lie worked himself into a
fever. Ilis comrades attributed it to
sorrow for his lost friend, for, after a
fruitless search, it was said that Lieu
tenant Butterworth had been trapped
into an ambuscade.
Ill the gray dawn of morning Private
Chadwick paced slowly up and down,
with his gun on ids shoulder, doing
sentry duty. lie was still weak from
the fever. A rustle, as of some one
moving, caught his attention.
"Who goes there?”
Ilis challenge went unanswered. He
espied a form disappearing into a
clump of bushes.
“Hang!” He tired, hut into the air.
The corporal of the guard catne run
ning down the line. He received the
sentry’s report, “Marauding party of
devils.” But Guy did not tell of all he
saw. In the disappearing form he had
recognized his deserter friend.
With hasty formation Company B
was sent forward. Keeping under cov
er of the trees, they halted on the edge
of a clearing. Not more than a thou
sand yards away 900 Filipinos, under
the leadership of a young officer in the
uniform of the United States army,
were stealthily advancing.
“Careful men. Don’t tire. Wait for
orders,” cautioned the officers.
Without warning and disregarding
the orders of his superiors, Private
Chadwick leaped suddenly forward
Into the open, knelt, took careful aim
and fired. The leader of the Insurgents
fell, killed by the bullet of his one time
friend. As the shot rang out and Lieu
tenant Butterworth fell, for it was lie,
a small figure darted from the now
wavering lines of Filipinos with a cry:
“Cecil, my American soldier!”
“Nina!” shouted Guy.
The American lines deployed, and
now a volley carried death Into the op
posing force. The battle raged back
and forth. Scattering were the shots
which returned the regular Are of the
boys in blue. The insurgents became
disorganized. Their retreat became a
rout.
The battle was over. The soldiers re
turned victoriously rejoicing. As they
picked their way over the spot of the
first encounter they came upon a sad
scene. In the midst of the dead and
dying lay the lifeless body of a pretty
black eyed Filipino girl, beside the dead
deserter lieutenant, and there, with his
bead buried In his arms and weeping
like a child, was Private Chadwick.
He mourned the loss of friend and
iweetheart.—New York Sun.
TALES OF THE TOWN.
Fanny Happenings Overheard by a
Newspaper Scribe.
“You say,” said a Brooklyn lawyer,
who was cross examining a witness, “that
you met the defendant on the 17th. Now,
wasn’t it on the 16th or 18th?”
“No, sir.”
“You are sure?”
“I’m positive.”
“But how can you be so positive?”
“Because, sir, he loaned me $2 in cash,
and though I’ve lived in Brooklyn for 11
years he is the only man I ever found
who’d lend me a cent. His action made
such a profound impression that I shall
never forget the date.”
Two of the passengers on a Greene and
Gates avenue car were having a rather
hot discussion on local politics when one
of them finally turned to an old man who
had been an interested listener and asked
for his opinion.
“I don’t want to give it,” was the reply.
“But you have one?”
“Yes, I guess so, but I know my fail
ing.”
“And what is that?”
“Why, I never git to talkin politics that
I don’t go off on religion and claim that it
was true that the whale swallowed Joner.
The other feller don’t believe It, and pur
ty soon we call each other liars and git up
a fight. If I ever come out on top, it
would be all right, but I’ve been licked 27
straight times, and you jest go ahead and
leave me out of the discussion!”
“On one of my trips the other day,”
said a Seventh avenue conductor, “we
were brought up by a broken down coal
wagon which had two tons aboard. That
meant half an hour's delay, and all the
passengers excepting a middle aged man
growled and grumbled and got out. He
sat there and smiled and now and then
looked at his watch and chuckled. As I
had never seen the like before, I finally
said to him:
“ ‘It will be 15 minutes yet before we
go on.’
“ ‘Yes, I know it,’ he smiled.
“ ‘But you are in no hurry?’
“ ‘Not at all. I was to be home at 8
o’clock to go out with my wife to buy a
new spring bonnet, and owing to that
coal cart we’ll miss it by 20 minutes, and
I’ll save $15. Conductor, please hand
that fellow this dime with my compli
ments.’ ’’—Brooklyn Citizen.
Tears, Bitter Tear*.
“I wish you wouldn’t cry so. Carlo.”
“Thank you, Fido. I’m so glad you
sympathize with me.”
“It isn’t that. Carlo. I’m afraid you’ll
drown me.”—New York Evening Journal.

“What does she look like?” queried the

on her haid, an her name’s Jopheeny,
sah.”—Chicago Tribune.
Electricity.
“Now,” stated I, “electricity will do
much for the farmer yet.”

of a gloomy disposition, saw fit to add:
“ ’Bout all it’s doin nowadays is to
knock him off the enr tracks ’bout every
