In regiment stationed Mt Marseilles
tho captain OF one Of the troops, accord
ing TO the New York Recorder, was a
notorious bully. IIe took special de-
light in torturing the youngest OF his
lieutenants, n bright, laughter-loving
lad, who was the delight OF tho regi-
mcnt--ofiiccrs and men. Ono day after
mess he grossly insulted tho boy and
followed IL up by calling him liar and
slapping his face. Tho lieutenant
flushed and left the room. lie had pre-
viously shown his courage at Algiers,
and his comrades could not understand
why he should tolerate such continued
insults. They followed him 10 his
quarters and told him that II he did not
call out his enemy no would havo TO 20
to Coventry. The young officer ex-
planned that he had strong religious
scruples about dueling and could not
conscientiously go out.
Finally the colonel OF the regiment
sent him the alternativo-either fight
or leave tho service. Tho boy then
agreed, on condition that tho fight
should take place with pistols and over
n handkerchief. One Of the weapons
was 10 be loaded and the other unload

Tho men stood up, each holding the
edge of handkerchief. At the signal
the captain pulled the trigger, when II
was found that he held the unloadcd

All eyes were now fixed upon the
calm, resolute, fair-headed boy. The
spectators were confident that, as he held
his adversary In his power, he would
either discharge his pistol In the air or
not shoot at all. But not so. lie took
deliberate aim and, placing the muz.

face as he could reach, blew his brains
out Then, leaning over the PROSTATE

face with IT, Then with exultation he
turned TO those In the field and said;

Rather Exciting Ending of a Trial
in the Criminal Court.
Prisoners Convicted of Highway Rob-
berry Make a Break-August Smith
Indicted-In Police Court.

In the Criminal Court yesterday afternoon
Sig Carlos, Ed Lesher and Leo Rogers were
tried and convicted of robbery, and sem
fenced to three years each in the penitenti-
airy. They were jointly indicted for robbing
an old soldier named William Wardrip. at
the corner of Pennsylvania and Pearl
streets on the night of Sept. p. Wardrip
testified that on the night of the robbery
he had been in the Corn Exchange" on
West Washington street, and that Rogers
followed him from the saloon to the place
where he was robbed. The case went to the
jury about $50 o'clock, and at 7:3o they
brought in verdict Of guilty.
The prisoners were handcuffed together.
and Deputy Sheriff Andy Bruce started to
the jail with them. At the corner of Ala
bama and Market streets they made break
for liberty and dashed across the street,
ers gained on him and started across the
old hay market Bruce then drew his re-
volver and fired several shots, but failed to
hit either of them. Merchant policeman
Miller. who was standing in Schofield' S
livery stable Wabash street, heard the
shooting and rushed out in time to head
them off. Seeing the three men handcuffed
together he drew his revolver and fired n
shot at them, which had the effect of bring
ing them to standstill They threw up
their hands and surrendered to the officers
and were taken back to the Jail.
Sig Carlos claims to be half-breed Mex
lean and South Sea islander, and has been
seen on the streets a great deal recently
He wears his hair Buffalo Bill fashion and
has succeeded in earning some money by
playing fiddle about saloons. Recently the
three of them have been operating an Aus
tralian museum fake at Fairview Park.

"She was very tall. A curtain of rough,
glittering curls hung to her knees. Her
face clear with that clearness which only
a mountain wind can bring, was white as a
seagulrs breast, except where a dark yet
vivid pink melted into the blue veins on
temples and throat. Her round, fresh lips,
smooth as peony leaf. were parted in a
wide laugh, over teeth large and yellow
white, like the grains of an ear of corn.
She wore loose tunic of blue-gray stuff,
which reached to the middle of her legs,
covered with grass stains and patches of
mold Her bare feet, somewhat broadened
by walking, were well-sheped, the great
toe standing apart from the others, the
strong, round ankles. although scratched
