Going to ship?" Harry asked, point
ing forward.
Hassan shook his head "Going
home" he said. "Sent messenger sam
pan tell captain both safe. Sehi killed,
boat taken, must go. Others angry be-
cause HasSan not join, may come and
fight Hassan ask captain bring ship
up river; messenger show channel, tell
how far can go, then come in boats,
hold great meeting, make peace"
The lads were we'll satisfied. They
had a longing to see HasSan's home,
and, perhaps to do some shooting: and
they thought that a few days holiday
before rejoining was by no means I'M
pleasant. They wished. however, that
they had known thai the sampan was
leaving, so that they could have writ
ten a line to the captain, saying what
had taken place, and that they could
not rejoin. There was at first some
splashes of the oars, for many of Has
SANS men had had no prior expert
ence except with sampans and large
canoes. However, it was not long be-
fore they fell into the swing, and the
boat proceeded at a rapid pace. Sew
eral times, as they went, natives APP
peared on the bank in considerable
numbers, and receiving no answer to
their hail, sent showers of lances.
Harry, however, with the aid of two
or three MalayS, soon loaded the guns
of the prahu.
mo KILL, Hassan said. Want make
friends. No good kill"
Accordingly the guns were fired far
over the heads of the assailants, who
at once took to the bushes. After three
hours rowing they entered the river,
and continued their course up it until
long into the night, for the rowers were
as anxious as was Hassan himself to
reach their village. They were numer-
Gus enough to form relays at the oars,
and the stroke never tagged until, an
hour before midnight, fires We're seen
burning ahead and they turned a bend
of the river. The Malays raised a yell
Of triumph, which was answered from
the village, and in a few minutes the
prahu was brought up to the bank.
Crowds, composed mostly of women
and children, received them with shouts
of welcome and gladness. Hassan at
once led the midshipmen to a large
hut that had evidently been prepared
in readiness for them. Piles of skins
lay in two of the corners, and the lads,
who We're utterly worn out, threw
themselves down, md were almost in
Stantly asleep.
The sun was high when the mat at
the entrance was drawn aside, and
IIasSan entered, followed by four of
his followers. One carried a great
water jar and two calabashes, with
some cotton clothes and towels. The
others brought fruit of several varie-
ties, eggs and sWeetmeats, together
with large gourd full of steaming
coffee
''Hassan come again, the chief said,
and left the hut with his followers. The
lads poured calabasheS of water over
each other, and felt wonderfully re-
freshed by their wash. which was ac-.
complished without damage to the floor,
which was of bamboos raised two feet
above the ground When they were
dressed they fell to at their breakfast,
and then went out of doors. Hassan
had evidently been watching for them,
for he at once came out of his house,
which was next to that they occupied,
holding the little girls hand. She at

men had started to their feet. half be-
wildered at the sudden and desperate
struggle, when hand was laid on
each of their shoulders, and a voice
said, English friends, Hassan has
come"
The revulsion of feeling was so great
that for a minute neither could speak,
and Dick, who had been lying awake
when the struggle began, said:
Chief, we thank you with all our
hearts. Tomorrow we should have been
killed.
The chief did not understand the
words, but he shook hands with them
both warmly, having seen that mode OF
salutatien on board ship.
''Hassan glad" he said. 'Hassan
watch all time; no let Sehi kill friends.
Friends save Hassan's child; he save
them"
Torches were now lighted The deck
was thickly encountered with dead; for
every one of the crew of the prahu had
been killed. "See, I killed two" the
chief said, come and see." He swung
himself on shore, and the boys follow
ed his example, two of the Malays
helping Dick down. They went to the
village; a. number of the Malays were
moving about; torches had been taken
down from the ship, and a number OF
these soon lit I'D the scene. Two of
the rajah's men had been killed outside
their huts, but the majority had fallen
inside. The chief asked a question of
one of his followers, who pointed to a
hut. This they entered, and by the
light of the torches, saw the rajah ly-
ing dead upon the ground. Hassan said
something to one Of his men, who, with
single blow, chopped off the rajah's
head.
Send to Chiefs Hassan said. IF
not see, not think dead. Much afraid
of him. When know he dead, not fight
any more; make peace quick"
One of the men asked a question
which the lads limited knowledge of
the language was sufficient to tell them
that he was asking whether they
should fire the village. HaSsan shook
his head. Many men, he said,
waving his arm to the forest, see
fire; come fight. Plenty of fight
been; no need for more" For a
time he stood with them in front of the
poool. A series of splashes in the water
told what was going on. The prahu
was being cleared of its load of dead
bodies; then several men with buckets
filed them with water and handed
them up to the deck. The boys knew
that an attempt was being made to
wash away the blood. The process
was repeated dozen times. While
this was going on the pool was agl-
tated in every direction. The lads shud-
dered as they looked, and remembered
that they had proposed to wade along
the edge. The place swarmed with
aligators. who scrambled and fought
for the bodies thrown over, until the
number was so great that all was sat

guided by the smell of blood, kept ar
irving on the scene
At last the chief said, Come" and
together they returned to the boat. The
morning was now breaking, and but
few signs remained of the terrible con-
fiict of the night. At the chiefs order,
a large besket of wine, which had been
found in the rajah's hut, was brought
indoors, together with another, full of
bananas, and other fruit.

THE FOUR LAST LEAGUES.
What a Heroic Cuban Girl Did For
Her Country.
A TRUE STORY.
BY GEORGE RENO.

1t was shutdown in Santa Rosalia~
The rainy season was on in Cuba, and
low, rumbling thunder had been heard
all the afternoon. That is, the people
who lived in the little cluster of palm
matched houses called Santa Rosalia
thought it was thunder. And so it was
the distant roar of Spanish artillery
that came up from the south.
One little cottage stood by the road
side, some distance apart from the
others. 1t was the home of Moncadas
The father. Jose. was dead. He had
fallen a victim to the last, the ten
years war. Three sons were left to
carry on the fight, and they were then
with Brigadier Lopez Recio. Only
mother and Emelia, the sister, little
girl of II years, were left at home to
watch and pray to God to aid the Gu
bans in their struggle for liberty.
Suddenly the noise of gathering hoofs
came from the southwest. The still
night air bore the unmistakable sound
with distinctness. Nearer and nearer
came the galloping rider He was
alone. His horse was covered with
foam and painting like a tired hound
Up to the little gate of the Moncado
cottage he staggered, ard then his rid
er reeled and almost fell into the arms
of his mother.

ness it was to him to see there those
who had been so kind to him. Had he
known when they would arrive, 1000
would have been ready for them; and
he assured them that, however long
they might stay, they would be most
heartily welcomed, and that there
should be no lack of provisions. Iney
had done an immense service to nm,
and to all the other chiefs on the river,
by breaking up the power of one who
proved upon alI-his neighbors, and was
a scourge to trade. AS there were still
several bottles of the rajah'S wine leIl,
champagne was now handed round.
1T makes my heart glad to see you,
DOCTOR" the chief said. See, L am as
strong and as we'll as ever. Had 1t not
been for you, my arm might now nave
been useless, and my ribs nave grown
through the flesh"
'I don't think it would have been as
bad as that" the doctor said; but
there is no doubt that it was fortunate
that you were able to receive surgical
treatment so soon after the accident
And it has been fortunate for us, too,
especially for our young friends here. "

who were breakfasting outside on the
stores they had brought up, supple
mented by a ,bountiful supply of fruit,
which grew in abundance round the
village 1t was not long before a meal
was served to the officers, fowls having
been hastily killed as soon as the boats
were seen approaching. Several jungle
fowl had been brought in that morn
ing; plaintains and rice were boiled, and
cakes baked. Tea was made from the
beat store, and a hearty meal eaten.

thanks; they did not like him to thank
them for saving YOU
The child translated this with some
difficulty. Then he led the midship-
men round the village. and showed
them the strong palisade which had ev-
identity just been erected, and explained
through the child, that it had only
been built before he left, as but 90 men
were available for guarding the place
in his absence.
The next four days were spent in
shooting expeditions, and, although
they met with no wild beasts, they Sc
cured a large number of bird skins for
the doctor. On the fifth day a native
ran in and said that boats with white
men were coming. The midshipmen
ran down to the bank and saw the
ships two cutters and gig approach
ing. The captain himself was in the
stern of the latter, and the doctor was
sitting beside him. A minute or two
later they were shaking hands with the
officers, and saying few words to the
men. who were evidently delighted to
see them again. Just as the greetings
were over. Hassan, in a rich silk sarang
and Jacket. came down toward them.
He was leading his little daughter, and
six Malays followed them.
Welcome, captain" he said gravely.
"Hassan very glad to see you. All come
right now"
Thank YOU, chief. We have learned
from your messenger how gallantly you
have rescued my two officers and put
an end to our troubles by killing the
raiah Sehi, and capturing the last of
the oiratical craft
This was too much for Hassan, and
had to be translated by Sob Hoy. Since
the chiefs return a number of his men
had been occupied in constructing bam-
boo huts for the use of the captain, Of
ficers and men; also a large hall to be
used for councils and meetings; and, to
this, he now led the captain and his Of
ficers. When they were seated he made
a speech of welcome, saying what glad

doctor, and although he had evinced

simply at the doctors orders. he now

the chiefs followers were gathered on

no more numerous than the previous
crew, and that it was only the adj
vantage of surprise that enabled them
to overcome so easily both those on
board the prahu and the rajah's follow
ers in the village. The oars were got
out, and the prahu proceeded up the
creek, in the opposite direction to which

saddle a horse and bring it to the gate
quickly. We are losing time
Brother, we can't let you go. I'll
never see you again." and the poor
child buried her head on her brother
neck. Then, suddenly rising, she ex-
claimed: 20, why was not l man
Cuba so needs men, Yes, I'll tell him
to get Linda ready at once. Colonel
Pena must go to help Gomez" Turn
ing, she kissed her brothers fore
head and hurried out to the stables.
Soon the quick gallop of horse was
heard approaching the house. But ii
did not stop at the gate. On it sped in
the direction of Santa Lucia.
A moment later Kuido, the half
witted black boy, wandered aimlessly
into the room.
Where is the horse, where is
Emelia?" inquired her brother.
Gone" replied the boy.
Gone? Where?" came from all
present.
L dun know She said somethin'
bout ST Lucia, jumped on Linda's
back and looks to me as how she's
gone"
And so she was; the brave little
Emelia, although not soldier of Cuba,
had taken her brothers place. She had
gone to get Pena; to tell him that the
fight between Gomez and the Spanish
General Castellanos was on at Sara
toga, and that every Cuban in CANA
guey was needed.
On. the little heroine rode in the dark
ness of the night. She had been born
and raised in the country, and she
knew the way to Santa Lucia, al
though she had never before Travelled
it in the dark. But she was riding to
save her brothers life and for Cuba
Darkness, danger, nothing daunted
her. Bareheaded and alone, she urged
her horse over the road at pace
which would have made most girls
tremble with fear.
Not even when an hour later the
tropical storm broke in all It's fury
around her did she hesitate. Light
ming striking the tall palma reals"
caused India many times to shy and
almost bolt the road, but the brave
little rider held on and never loosened
rein until in sight of Pena's campfires.
"Ruien VAL suddenly called out the
picket.
"Cubal answered the brave little
patriotas. She refined up her painting

listened TO her story and then gave the
signal for his command to mount.
.sYou poor little thing, you should

coat around her little, trembling, wet
form. he jumped into his saddle and
had an officer pass the child up to him.
The order was given to march, and in
his arms the fighting colonel OF CANA
guey carried the little heroine back to
her home in Rosalia.
Take her." he said, as he handed
her over to her half-crazed mother.
