the Herald from Havana says:
Captain Eulate OF the Vizcaya, who
was seen in New York recently, has
just figured in an incident here which
proves that some, at least, of SPANS
best officers will not cater to the rab-
bles desire about Americans in Ha-
vana. The Vizcaya lay near the Fern

swung close together words spoken OF

Boats loaded with enthusiastic Span
iards have filed thr wafer about the
Spanish cruisers since their arrival and

aboard and have inspected the 11-inch
guns which Iandsmen believe are proof
Of Havana's impregnability.

they were all on deck, near the ladder,
the captain OF the Spanish cruiser,
with a word to one or two of the ma

the newcomers.

He always thinks of that, p'r'aps
cause he's usually hard up.
Eyes, / have. Hurry up and get in"
So in he tumbled, and none too fast,
for the engine pulled off right after.
Hardly anyone was in the train, and
the conductor seemed to be taking a
holiday, too, for he didn't come round
till we got most TO New York.
We didn't talk much, cause after
Billy'd asked me what / was going to
do, there didn't seem to be much to talk
about.
We didn't stop anywhere, for it was
an express train, but we heard lots of
Fourth of July noise and saw lots of
boys and girls having a good time. My,
how wished l could change my place
with them.
And then thought: Poor little Tod,

ton on the way back, but every time
he'd come in he'd say: mo news yet"
and wished he wouldn't say 1t quite so
often.
Billy tried to "cheer me" by telling all
kinds of stories. He said he was certain
Tod had either been stolen for a ransom
or else she'd been carried off SOS to sell
her hair for wigs, like a story he'd read.
or she might have been sold somewhere
for slave.
anyhow, she's a goner, Jimmy" said
he at the last station before Harristown,
land I'm sorry for you. cause you're
most sure to get licking"
That's bout the way i looked at il,
but somehow felt the worst about Tod.
When we got to Harristown we saw
mother and father standing on the sta
tion platform. The next minute the
train had stopped, and Billy said: "T'm
glad I'm not in your shoes, Jimmy"
And then ne sneaked out OF the rear
door and was gone quicker'n you could
wink.
Well, when got out, / just rushed ur
to mother and put both arms around
her, and said:
"Oh, mother! what shall we do?"
She Rugged me just as tight and
kissed me.
"My poor, dear, careless boy!" said
she.
"Oh, Jimmy, we was so scared bout
you!" said somebody else.
And looked up in hurry, and there
would you b'lieve it ?-stood Tod!
''Why-why, mother!" was all could
manage to say.
Then father asked me some questions
and seemed as glad to see me as if I'd
been lost stead of Tod.
Then we went over home. / felt so
tired and sleepy l could hardly walk,
and as soon as we got there laid down
on the lounge and was made much of by
everyone, stead of being in disgrace, as

Tod sat in her little chair close to me
and held my hand in one of hers and her

It was a fine day, glorious Fourth
or maybe should call it Fifth, only
that doesn't sound right.
No ~one was around 'cept the men
at tee station, who were getting the
early train ready.
Billy Croker had promised to meet
me, and / was going to provide him
with firecrackers, cause he spent his
money for lemon balls and felt deli
cate bout asking for any more to cele-
brate with.
But no Billy showed up. So 1 let Tod
fire off a good many crackers, and she
only burned her dress in one place. 1t
was new one, and I'd forgotten the
apron mother said she must surely
wear, but 1 took some consolation in
knowing that if Tod had had on her
apron it would have been burned, and
now it wasn't.

s'pose Jerry'd think she could do it
better, but I'd rather have Louie, any
how; and Jerry'd always have to be
spoken of as Geraldine, which is too
long TO write often.
All the boys call her Jerry behind
her back, though she doesn't know it
and it's lucky for them. You see, Jerry
gets mad pretty easy. P'raps it's cause
she teaches school.
Mother says boys are trying. She
thinks I'm a very trying boy, and L
s'pose she ought to know. wonder If
old people ever think they are trying
themselves? They are, anyhow. l
don't mean mother.
! Well, to proceed-that's good way
of putting it, 1 know, cause Mr.. Simp-
llins said it in his lecture, and Louie
said: "Now, Jimmy, don't ramble, but
stick to your story" So here goes for
sticking-I mean proceeding. It's hard
work, cause / never wrote real story
before.
The reason why my story happened
on the fifth was cause Fourth of July
came on Sunday that year, so that fire
crackers and other celebra tons had to
wait over. ..
And it was hard for the boys that
waited, judging from experience-Mr.
Simpkins said that, too. 1t sounds well,
i think, besides being fact.
Well, mother said l could get up at
five a. m. on Monday, and not min
ute before, and then did think mother
was very trying, indeed.
i knew I'd wake up sooner, and, sure
'nough, did, and heard the clock
strike four. 1t was long time till
half-past four, and four minutes from
that the sun would rise, knew, for I'd
looked in the almanac.
/ just raised up in bed to peek at my
firecrackers and punk, lying handy, and
that half hour was longer than the
other.
l can tell you it didn't take me long
to slide into my clothes when the time
came, and did wash my face, though
my toothbrush happened to slip back of
the washstand, and I didn't feel like
taking the time to get it out.
Tod heard me moving round, and
came in from her room; so had to
help her a good deal, and that wasted
a lot of time. But she's smart child,
and combed her own hair pretty well,
considering.
P'r'aps you don't know that Tod's
Eshort for Toddlekins) our youngest.
Somebody thought meant dog one
day when spoke of her; but think
Tod's fine name, being short and sort
of brisk.
Well, we tiptoed downstairs, SOS not
to wake anybody.
Tod slipped down one step, dropped
her torpedoes and began to cry. But I
spoke up as much like Jerry as could:
TOD, not word, or you go back
to bed"
That scared her so she jumped and
dropped another package; so had tc

thought: Poor little Tod,

where was she? How frightened she
must be!
II s'pose the men at the station don't
know anything bout Tod?' broke in
Billy, after we'd been quiet long time.
"Of course the men in that train'd
know" says /.
"That trains gone back by this time,
you silly!"
I'd never thought of that. Just then
long came the conductor.
"Tickets!' said he.
And of course we hadn't any, but
paid him, and he gave me a slip of card
board with printing on it. He looked
good-natured I'd often seen him be-
fore, so just told him the whole story.
He sat down in front of us, as kind
and sympathetic as could be.
Its too late now," said he; "the
| trains started back. We passed it at
Martinville. But I'll make inquiries.
Don't you cry, little boy"
And / wasn't. One or two tears aren't
crying, l hope.
Then your parents will be in a fine

The minute we got into the station
the conductor took us to room, where
he said lost articles were sent.
my sister isn't an article" says /,
thinking of "a," "an," and "the," that
was studying about in grammar.
Il guess you'd think she was q very
precious article if you could find her."
And he sort of laughed. Idon't see how
he could.
"See anything of little lost girl on
the six o'clock local from Harristown? ?"
the conductor asked, when we got to the
lost article room.
never looking up. Nothing reported
here, except three handkerchiefs, a
glove and two boys coats brought in
from that train. That's ALL"
"Those are our coats" said /.
"Then identify 'em," said the man.
looked at Billy and he looked at me;
then we both looked at the conductor,
who laughed again.
Describe your coats, boys" said he.
"Oh!" says we. And then we told
him, and he brought out two coats,
which, sure 'nough, were ours.
"Mine was over her and Billy's was
rolled up under her head" said.
"Who?" asked the man.
''Tod," / said.
"Was that your brothers name?"
mo, sir; it's my sisters, and should
think you might act IS if you cared a
little, cause she's lost"
ooh, she'll turn up all right" said
that hard-hearted, mean man, and went
on writing.
All this time the conductor had been
standing in the doorway, with his fore
head all puckered up, like fathers when
he's thinking.
"Come, boys" says he; well go and
telegraph to your father"
"I'll bet my kite you'll never see her
again, Jimmy" Billy said, and then he
began to tell me a story bout little
girl who got lost and was never found.
don't b'lieve ever liked Billy Crock
err so little as then, but tried to make
'lowances for him, cause Tod wasn't
his sister, you see. Besides, IL I'd spoken
sharp to him, as I felt half mind to,
I was sure I'd break out crying.
After the conductor had tel'graphed
to father, we got in the car again. He
gave Billy and me each two sandwiches.
He said he thought we must be hungry.
And he was right, and eyer since that I
don't think conductors can be beat for
being good to little boys.
He made the train stop at every sta
