A CUBAN HEROINE. Why, of course I'll tell tho story 1f you caro to hear about it; don't suppose any- body butter knows the details of the affair. The Aequnekanuek was attached to our blockading squadron, U. S. S. Aoquack- anock, according to tho official register, but, in spite of high sounding title, only a moan little seagoing tugboat with a 1 Pounder mounted on tho roof of the pilot- house. Ensign Dunean Was skipper, and a hotter seaman or cooler headed fighter toiler tiro I never want to sail with. Ono day sou were running coastwise nt Mt f speed. .ilI�( nu. 1 (1 P tho other h r bl o' ckt ells 13 vessels (vas in sight. Thu part of the is. land along which wo wore cruising was practically untenanted, owing to thu Span- ish recnncentratiun orders, and there were no fortifications that amounted to nny- thing for 20 stiles either way. With the exception of those actually engaged in navigating, our whole crew were taking it easy, snuggled in shady corners and otherwise recuperating afters night of in- cessant watchfulness. I happened to be lying on top of a lit of commissariat stuff that occupied our after dock. From my position, 'which was of course a consider- ably elevated one, I had a pretty wide field of vision by simply turning my head in any desired direction. Say, Lamliss," culled our skipper from the shaky old cluck chair on which he was reclining, "what do you stake out of that bright red thing down near the edge of the water, about throe pcdnts on our quar- ter?" "Looks as if it might bo a woman, sir," I said nt a venture. "Those Cuban girls aro fond of bright colors when they can got them, and perhaps it is her dress. I'll take a look through tho glass." Thu binoculars were good ones; had to he for our business. I suppose I must have gazed steadily through them for live minutes at the very least. At any rate the skipper got impatient and carpo up along- side of rue. "You're taking long enough to sec right through the island and half way across the Yucatan," be says jokinglike. ''_)lay I inquire the rensun of this intentness?" "You may, sir,"I replied, handing hien tho glasses as I spoke. "I3ut the host an- swer I can give is to let you look for your- self. If that sight doesn't glue your own eyes for a dozen doc'tor's watches, I'm nu jndgo of petticoat folk." 1t was this way; As pretty n girl as I ever want to look at -big eyes, black hair and faro just like an angel's taken bodily out of some great painting -was standing there upon the sand beach gazing dh•eetly at us, and at the sante time waving slowly to and fro a big red thing which turned out to bo n blanket, Even at that distance I fancied that I could detect 8 sort of tt'il(1 longing in the expression of hor face. 'J1he skipper m)ust, have seen as much, if not more than I cries. Anyway he tools the glasses doott•rl from his eyes only long enough to order our course changed so as to head directly for tho spot where sho was standing, and then recommenced itis in- spection through the lenses until We wore near enough to use tho naked eye to bettor advantage. "Landiss, you and I will go ashore in the small boat and see what this scarlet signal means," said tho skipper. "The rest of you boys keep your eyes pooled for treachery, and if any Spanish soldierstry to rush us just drop a shot from our nt'ain battery whore it will do'tho most good•" The men cheered him, anddren before I got well to work sculling the boat in I heard tho snap of the breech block on the little 1 pounder, which said in the plain- est kind of language under the sun, "Now I am all loaded and ready for business." The skipper sat up in the bow of the skiff, wl.ich was just a little dingey such as harbor tugboats usually carry, and told me how to head her. Luckily there was no sea on to amount to anything, and we made the landing without getting very web. IP that Cuban girl looked a real picture through the glasses, a point blank sight at her merely improved the effect, if such a thing could. be possible; not but what she had a sort of pitifully ]laggard look, and. besides her skimp dross was torn to rags. But somehow even such disadvantages could not queer her style of beauty. She might have come out a shade prettier when all togged up in ball folderols, al- though I doubt it. But I'll stop describ- ing her to you, for I couldn't do the sub- ject justice if I tried. It was a mighty sad story sho told the ensign, half in broken English and thereat in her owu lingo, I piekc(1 out enough of it to size tho whole thing up. Hor people had boon well off, and she was partly edu- cated in tho States,but the rebellion cameo along, and hor brothers joined the insur- gents,and tho Spaniards burned down their plantation and looted everything -the memo old story so far. But this girl -her name was a longish ono and hard to pro- nounce. The skipper got it down fine, but wo always " just called her "the sonnrit�n. Sho certainly was as plucky as they make then, Her father and mother and half a dozen aunts or servants of one kind or an- other wore all old and pretty nigh help- less, so when the recnncentration edicts went into effect they sinply could not obey. So 'what does sho do but pitch in and rig up a little hut in among the trees and lug thorn all there and tried to provide for them. 1t must have boon a tussle to keep out of reach of the dons, let alone finding food for half n dozen mouths besides her own in a country that was well nigh devastated, But sho did it somehow or other. Then 081110 sickness to vary the routine. and now her father and mother 5 were pretty nigh to dying for want of medicines. That was how she camo to run the risk of signaling us. Of course I soullod out to *e ship again and brought back our medicine ohest and some cans of soup and things to go with it. Meanwhile the skipper had gone along with her to the hut she had built, and so I toted tho things up there myself in a half dozen loads or so. Her shanty was a protty tough looking piece of architecture, made of brush and lung grass, but it served every purpose, and I don't wonder at the duns not having sighted it on their coast patrols. The old people were in a pretty bad state. We could not possibly move the sickest ones, and tho others were not a great deal bet- ter. As soon as one of our ships that has a doctor on board conies round I'll bring him ashore with me," said the skipper to the young lady. "Meanwhile, as you say you have a little knowledge of medicine and its uses, I presume you can do some- thing with our chest." I never did sue a girl carry on so about being grateful, and `•how noble we were," and all that sort of theatrical talk. 13ut of course you must expect such from those Cubans. They're all hot blooded critters and say exactly what they mean right out. But for that matter tho senorita scarcely needed to talk. Her eyes told everything. Sho followed us out of the hut when we wont down toward the boat again, "Is Were anything more the can do for you, madam?" says the ensign, with his hat in his hand and bending forward as if ho was talking to the queen of England and not a barefooted Cuban girl with enough good looks to supply an ordinary dozen. "I should earnestly repeat my ad- vice to you of seeking safety on board my vessel with all your companions that can be moved. I ant truly sorry to say that I fear the days of your parents are already numtbered. " "I thank you, noble American," replied the senorita in her pretty lisping fashion, "but wo both have sacred duties -yours with your ships to the fight, I my people to nursol But onet hint3 there is you can do for mo more, and every moment shall I call blessings upon the heads of my pre- servers. Give to me the -what call you it? -that thing," pointing to the revolver in his bolt. "I know its good use, but not your name," Without a word the skipper took the weapon from his belt, saw that its cham- bers were properly loaded and handed it to her. He was about to give her extra car- tridges from his pouch, but she stopped "No, no," she cried "ono shot will my purpose servo -two at most!" Then we understood, and I imagined I heard the skipper sniffle once or twice as we wont down to tho beach. I'm free to acknowledge that I did as much. Pshaw 1 Well, sir, the Aoquackanook cruised up and down that part of tho coast for a week or more. Not a day but, whattwe managed to pass by the place whore the senorita and hor field hospital hung out, and usually she would collo down to the shore, where she was rather hid from land sighting, and wave that old red blanket to lot us know that all went well. Of course we did not dare answer back very much for fear of having others see the signals that wore not intended for them, but it made every soul on board mighty glad to see that old serape bobbing about, I can tell you. And once or twine I took the skipper ashore there again, with a lot of our duds for her to make, clothes out of and little knick- knacks of food and such, and he would have palavered with ..her by the hour if I had not made believe to see smoke out to sea- ward or something like that. And one time he put a ring that had belonged to his another -I hoard him tell hor so -on her finger, and tho last time he kissed hor whon I made believe not to be looking. And I don't blame hien or her Dither, for that matter. I enjoyed the wartime love- making almost as much as they did. Hang Ino for a regular soft soap swab! Here's my blamed old eyes filling up just as if they'd been scuttled for the insurance! Well, the next day we wore steaming along toward what wo called the "seno- rita's landing." Our pilot had got so used to being ordered to head the ship in there that he steered at an easy angle on lila own account, just to save time. And se there we were within nice range of , the shore. I'll never know just what made me climb up on top of the pilothouse alongside of our little cannon. At any rate, there I happened to be, and the am- munition chest was handy. Just as we came abroast of an open piece of country I gavb a careless look ashore, and then my eyes fairly bulged out of my hoed. I saw about half a dozen Spanish cavalry soldiers riding along in a little compact troop, and tho middle fellow had a different sort of saddlecloth from tho rust. "What in blankoty blank do you mean firing off that gun without my orders, Landiss?" bellowed the skipper, coming out from his cabin at the sound of the re- port. "And good gracious, man, you're nothing elso than a murderer. You have nq right to shoot men down in cold blood like that I" "One or two aro only wounded appar- ently, sir, I'm sorry to say," I replied, sa- luting as I spoke, "but I got the chap with the scarlet blanket saddlecloth All right." "What?" he yelled. But he knew as well as I did, poor fellow! The look of tho inside of that wretched but was something frightful. But the senorita had used the skipper's revolver in time to save what was more than life.-- Perote W. Hart in Criterion. "Lea Mlserablee."
