While the valor of American
soldiers leaves no criticism possi-
BILE of the actual assault upon San
tiago. While tho check encoun-
tered by Gen. Shafter is but a
check. While there is no reason
to feel chagrin so far rs our army
is concerned and only sorrow at
the loss of SO many brave men and
the suff, ring of as many more,
tempers our enthusiasm over our
phase of the battle with which
they had to do. Nevestheless the
American nation must feel that
the present situation merits the
severest criticism and condemna-
ton of the political officials re-
sponsible. Whenever possible an
attacking force should outnumber
an army entrenched behind forti-
fcations. Tho United States has
million men only too anxious to
be in action. Thousands of them
have been lying impotent in camp
in Southern states while their
fellow-comrades fought and bled
in front of Santiago. Why was
not repulse guarded against?
Why were not twenty transports
lying off Cuba ready at least to
land second army if the services
OF reserves should be needed?
And it is announced that the
assistant secretary of war is ''busy
arranging for Transports" A fine
time this is to be arranging"

verge OF armed conflict for nanr
months. The little town of Las Cru
ces was on war footing most OF the
time. Shotguns and rifles were kept
handy in offices and stores, and every
body's waistband bulged with six
shooters, and some OF the leaders be-
lieved that their opponents were try
Ing to hire men to assassirate them.
1t was while affairs were in this con-
dition that Colonel Fountain disap-
peared. He had been to Lincoln to
prosecute n number OF cattle thieves
and had written to his wife that he
would reach home for dinner on the fol-
lowing Sunday. With his little boy he
commenced the Journey homeward.
Near White Sands he met the stage
driver. They stopped and held few
moments conversation. The colonel
complained that he did not like the ap-
pearance Of three mounted and armed
men who had been following the trail
for several hours. The stage driver in
sisted on Fountain turning back to
White Sands and making the trip home
by stage the next day. To this the
colonel replied that he had promised
his wife to reach home Sunday. and he
did not like to disappoint her. They
then parted and went in opposite direc-
tions. Several miles back the stage
driver passed five mounted and armed
men, all going toward Las Cruces. in
the direction Fountain was travelling.
Sunday morning the stage driver start
ed on his return trip to Las Cruces. and
some distance beyond the spot where,
on the previous day. he had met the
vehicle driven by Colonel Fountain he
noticed that the tracks left by the
wheels of the blackboard in the sand
turned off from the main road in the
direction Of the Jarilla mountains. This
struck the driver as being very odd. as
the direction in which the vehicle
tracks led was entirely opposite from
Las Cruces. The driver, upon n close
scrutiny of the trail. discovered the
tracks Of FIVE horses following the
blackboard. Upon reaching Las Cru
ces he reported these facts to citizens,
and the news created the most intense
excitement. for Colonel Fountain had
not returned home. Posses were i'm
mediately organized and the country
was secured in all directions.
"A posse returned the lollOwing even
Ing and reported having found the
blackboard some ten miles from the
main road on the San Augustine plain,
but the colonel and his little son had
disappeared completely. The horses
were found several days later stripped
OF harness and roaming on the plain.
Only one arrest was made ut that
time. Herrera, Mexican horse thief,
wac jailed and kept prisoner for some
time on suspicion, and although evil
dence was strong that the horse thief
was mixed up In whatever occurred on

sible to make a case against him. w.

passionating him he raised his head
with quick, startled movement, and,
for time. the lameness disappeared
and the walk was extended to the end
of the path. Then his head once more
sank upon his breast. the short turns
were resumed. and the left foot again
began its weary. dragging motion. APP
parently he was conscious OF his weak
ness. for several times she saw him
recover himself impatiently and glance
sharply around.
Overhead, the mocking birds were
calling to each other, and something
in their notes seemed to arouse him
from his reverie. Presently he stopped
beneath the tree and glanced up with
rapt expression on his face. Mrs.
Bradford saw it and her eyes soft
ened.
You like the birds?" she asked,
pleasantly.
"I-used to-" he replied, hesitatingly.
Then. noticing the surprise in her face.
he added. apologetically, Il haven't
! seen any before for most ten years.
They seem sort of strange"
He stood still for moment, with
the color deepening on his sallow
cheeks, then he slouched forward and
threw himself on the grass at the foot
of the tree. Mrs. Bradford gazed at
him for a moment and then returned
to her book.
Out on the. path Mildred was play
ing with her ball. At length 1t struck
limb and bounded toward the young
man. He picked 1t up eagerly and
half rose to his feet. but seeing the
| frightened look on her face he tossed
1t back and resumed his slouching po-
sition on the grass.
| After awhile the ball again rolled to
his feet. This time he did not offer
to return 1t. AS Mildred approached
he looked up with smile.
"The cover Is coming off your ball, y

The morning was very pleasant, but
so far. all the mornings had been
pleasant at this delightful out-of-the-
way resort. Mrs. Bradford drew long
breath as she descended the hotel steps.
Her physician had certainly been right
when he recommended a change OF
climate. Already she could feel the
influence Of the mild air and the long
days spent out of doors. AS she reached
the sidewalk she paused with ques-
tioning smile.
Where to, Mildred?" she asked.
The little girl who was skipping
along by her side looked up brightly.
"The plaza. Of course. mamma. You
can read and will play. This after
noon we'll go down on the beach,"
The street was very quiet. An oc-
casional dray with its load OF trunks
and baggage, and here and there
group OF pleasure seekers on their
way to the plaza on the beach. Over
head, few buzzards circled lazily
about, and from the direction OF the
plaza came slight breeze which was
laden with the perfume of orange
blossoms and the saltiness OF the bay
which glistened beyond the trees.
AS they reached the corner keen
newsboy darted across the street, and
his shrewd face broadened into grin
when his customer smilingly refused
the change he offered.
Through the openings in the trees
they could see the white sails of pleas

these. the green shore of Promontory
Point. Near the extreme end Of the
point rose the tall. white buildings OF
the state penitentiary. Mrs. Bradford
shivered little as she saw them. The
grim buildings seemed out Of place
in the quiet winter resort.
1t was not far to the plaza, but when
they reached 1t they found that most
of the seats were already occupied.
They walked down one OF the side
paths and came back by the fountain.
denly.
There's seat that's most all
empty" she whispered. eagerly.
1t was little off the path and half
hidden by the low branches of live
oak. AS they approached. Mrs. Brad
ford noticed that its only occupant
was n tall young man. whose face
looked strangely white and eager. He
watched them curiously as they sat
down. and his lips parted in friendly
smile. Then, as though conscious OF
impropriety. he got up and began to
walk back and forth uneasily. For n
time Mrs. Bradford scarcely noticed
him. then something peculiar about his
step caused her to raise her eyes from
the book she was reading. The young
man seemed to have forgotten their
presence. and was walking back and
forth with bowed head. Every few sec
onds he wheeled sharply and retraced
his steps. Mrs. Bradford noticed with
curious wonder that he always wheeled
at exactly the same points. Then she
saw that his left foot dragged behind
the other. as though 1t carried heavy
weight. At first she thought he was

One Of the great troubles that rail-
road companies have had to contend
with In the past with both the old
style and the new NJ. C. B. couplers
was the falling of drawheads on the
tracks. resulting many times in disas-
trous wrecks. A year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent Just such occur
rences. and has since attached 1t to all
Its passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple, consisting merely Of a
right-angled steel hook. which Is
placed Immediately beneath the COUP
Ter on the draw-head. with horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction Of the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist in jamming the draw-heads
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side, and thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
is placed in such a position that It
cannot be jammed or broken on in the
coupling of cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory and
has not failed in single instance.
