Grimes againsopened on the blockhouse
Meanwhile the infantry was climbing
the slope toward the blockhouse, and
soon got in the way of the artillery.
Then Grimes quit, having apparently
done little damage to the Spanish
stronghold.
Captain Grimes is veteran of the
civil war and served from 1861 to 1865
He began with the artillery in 1870
He said that he could have finished the
blockhouse had the Spanish artillery let
him alone. But that was not to be ex-
pected. There was not an artillery shot
fired during the morning hours to 81

Battery F. Second artillery, Captain
G. d. Parkhurst, went to Ell Poso hill
at l o'clock and opened on Fort San

in the way. and the guns were hauled
off At $50 this battery opened from
the captured hill upon the city and fred

target. but the dead walls Of the houses.
Bullets played about the guns. however,
and Captain Parkhurst and three men
were wounded. Battery F was in Law
toms intrenchments during the bonn
bardment and silenced the Spanish on
its front in an hour. At this time the
battery had cover. Shell and shrapnel
were used at the time, and the Spanish
were driven from their intrenchments
Grimes was also in the bombardment
and said that he fired at the artillery
trenches. The Spaniards in return did
not reach his battery, but dropped shots
among the American infantry. He lost
two men hit in the bombardment. Ca
pron's battery silenced the Spanish ar

stated in his report that his artillery

Pinkie Billmore sat with her face
half averted from him.
In the young mans flushed cheek,
trembling lips, and agitated manner
there We're unmistakable signs of a
coming outburst.
The emotions of IN overcharged
heart could be crushed down no long
er.
Flavius Josephus AIillsap was no
stranger to the Billmore mansion. He
pervaded it three or four evenings
every week, as rule, and oftener still
as a frequent exception.
Everybody in the house, from the
aged grandmother to the kitchen lady,
knew he came to see Miss Pinkie.
Even Miss Pinkie knew it, despite
the fact that he had never explicitly
said so.
In like manner he knew she was per-
fectly willing for him to pervade the
mansion, according to rule or excep-
tionally, though she had never actual
ly expressed herself to that effect.
Yet she sat with her face half avert
ed from him.
Such is the contradictory, tantaliz-
ing, eXasperating habit of the young
woman of all climes, llindreds, tongues
and periods of the worlds history.
Young woman! Young woman! What
an abject fool thou hast made of the
worshiping young man from time i'm

gression.
"Pinkie"-the voice of Flavius Jose
plus Millsap again broke in upon the
stillness-'you know what I want to

''Then I'm sure"
''Pinkie-
He made slight motion as if to take
her hand.
But she still sat with her face half
averted from him.
"Pinkie, why do you think I've been
coming here for last six months?'
Seven MONTHS" she murmured.
This was not encouraging, on the
face of 1T, but he went ahead:
''The fact of the matter is, Pinkie
Billmore have been coming here be-
cause can't keep away. Ever since
met you-do you believe in love at

She put up her hand.
20, not now, Flavius! Not now.
She still sat with her face half avert
ed from him.
"Why not, Pinkie? Why not? What
is the matter?"
"Flavius'-it was almost a sob

to silence the blockhouse 1t opened fire
at z 80 in the morning from Ell Poso
hill, an elevation about rs feet above
the level and giving perfect view of
San Juan hill and trenches 2. 800 yards
distant. The third shot hit the block
house, but seemed to do little damage.
The structure was made of plank walls
filled in with earth.
San Juan hill is higher than Ell Poso,
giving the Spaniards the advantage.
Their guns We're back Of San Juan, but
on the same level, about Attic third

,ners and wounded four. He had 80 men
and three officers in the battery at the
time Grimes had had the San Juan
blockhouse given to him for target,
and he did his best to make splinters of
the structure. After firing four or five
shots the Spaniards opened up, and then
began three hours duel between the
American and Spanish gunners. 1t is
hard to say which got the worst of it.
A staff officer representing Shafter,
Colonel McClernand, stayed in the bat
terry and kept up communicates by
telegraph with his chief. The first shots
of the Spaniards burst high and hit
some of the troops and horses, as we'll
as some Cubans on the hither slope of
Ell Poso hill. AS stated, the third or
fourth shot landed on the target, SO it
was evident that Grimes would not be
let alone in bombarding Fort San Juan.
The Spaniards had absolute range and
could see by the clouds of smoke Just
where the American guns We're located.
But in firing at the Spanish artillery,
Grimes only guide was the fash, and
that not always seen. The first fash
seen was located between the blockhouse
and building some distance one side
of it, in the rear. On that range Grimes
pounded away until the military balloon
got between him and the target. The
Spaniards turned their guns upon the
balloon, and the shots dropped among
the American troops.
After the balloon disappeared the
Spanish opened from a new point to the
left of the old one and of the blockhouse.
The American cavalry had got up the
first spur of the ridge in that direction,
and fearing to drop shots among them,

The boy disappeared, but the story
was not half ended when he returned
and excitedly stammered:

"Hang 1t, boy, but what do you

half rose.
His attitude was so menacing that
the boy fell over himself to get away
and ran across the street We noticed
him standing over there for the next
ten minutes, but it was only when the
story had been finished that he slowly
crossed back again and said:
