Marta Ahfcu de ESteNez is Cuban
woman equally eminent for philan-
throphy and patriotism. She owns
large sugar estates in the Santa Clara
province and Il thcater in Santa Clara.
She has for years devoted all the pro
cecdS OF the thcatcr to the support of
schools for women and children When
the war broke out, her sympathy with
the insurgents made her practically an
exile in Paris but she kept in touch
with events ut home. and whenever
disaster befell the Cuban cause. she

her sister in New York added $2o. 600

one year alone she lost between 5000,
600 and 100000. because she sent
word to her oversccrs to obey the edict
of the provisional Cuban government,
forbidding the grinding ON the sugar es-
tatcs. In gratitude for her patriotic
assistance. the revolutionary govern
ment offered to make an exception to
the rule in her case but she refused to
set an example which might cause dis

How n Soldier Who Had Saved His
Kings Life Was Remembered
In the Hour of Need.

o*o# O#o#o# o#O&o o#o#O#
The great battle of Torgau was at its
height. The air was thick with hot,
! sitting smoke, and the cannonade
made the very earth tremble as col
umn after column of blue coated Prus-
sian soldiers came sweeping forth
from the wood that sheltered them
from the flaming mouths of 100 cannon
which Numbered necessarily against
the wood held by the Prussians and
against every living thing that issued
from it.
Twice the assailants had forced their
way through the peltng shot, and
twice they had been driven back with
severe loss after a desperate conflict.
In the mad hurry burly and confusion
of that terrible struggle the two armies
had got so completely mingled together
that not a few PrusSian and Austrian
regiments had fairly changed places,
and when the third attack began it
was no easy matter for the Prussian
column of assault to make out where
the key of the enemy's position lay
or which way they must turn in order
to strike it.
But just then appeared out of the
thick of the smoke a small, lean, sick
ly looking old man, in a soiled and
threadbare uniform, at the sight of
whom and at the sound of the few
short, clear orders that he uttered
everything seemed to arrange itself at
once as if by magic. And we'll might
it be so; for this queer little fellow was
no other than the King of Prussia him
self, Frederick the Great, who had al
ready sent is name throughout the
whole world as the greatest soldier Of
his time.
Just then. however, n body of Aus
trian grenadiers showed themselves
through the rolling smoke at a short
distance and began to pour a heavy
fire of musketry upon the Prussians
and their leader. Two men fell wound
ed beside the king, and his own sleeve
was torn by bullet.
"Your majesty is in danger here"
said a Prussian officer, saluting him
respectfully. Twill you not be pleased
to move farther back?"
Frederick was just about to refuse,
for he cared little what risk he ran pro-
vided his presence could do anything
to turn the fortune of the battle. But
before he had time to speak the officer
(who had placed himself in front of the
king apparently to shield him from the
flying bullets with his own body fell
to the ground as If struck by lightning
Frederick stopped over him with a
look of concern. for he sa@ that the
breast OF the fallen mans uniform had
been pierced by bullet and naturally
concluded that he must be either killed
or mortally wounded. But, to his no
small amazement, the supposed dead
man suddenly rose from the earth, to
all appearances quite uniniured, and
took out of his clothes a flattened mus
ket ball, which had been stopped by
the metal cover of a miniature that he
wore in his breast.

out the shapeless piece of lead, 'ln re-
