Dewey's Hint TO a Woman.
Lesiie's Weekly.

Admiral Dewey is not, like Napoleon, a
woman hater, although many naval Off
GERS wives are almaSt convinced TO the
contrary The Admiral does not hesitate
To say that he believes the presence oi a
woman interfcres with a mans efficiency
as an officer in wartime. Many ollcers
wives, as soon as. they became con-
yinced that their husbands would re-
main an indefinite period at Manila, lost
no time in hurryirg, lover to JON them,
and some, tbs said, even though their
husbands cabeG No To their petitions.
The Admiral did not look with favor upon
their arrival, for, to his mind, it meant
IMPAIRED efficiency in some OF his best
officers. They came, however, and before
the outbreak of hostilities between the
insurgents and the. Americans, dances
and yacht excursions in the bay and up
the Pasig River became quite frequent,
even the Admiral himself giving a large
ball on the Olympia. He, however, al
ways maintained his position, and no
woman was allowed aboard ship when
she went to sea or during the subsequent
period when the fleet was i'll battle array
around Manila Bay.
One young lady, engaged in newspaper
work, drew heavily on the different ships
Junior officers, who fell victims to hei
charms. 1t became quite daily practice
among the officers to, in turn, take her
driving in the cool of the afternoon. As
the principal drives of interest lay in
close proximity to, the, firing lines. the
excursion was NOT without the element
of danger SO dear tos the heart of both
officers and adventnrSsome women. The
Admiral looked on foi, some time in 81
lence, but eventually, meeting the fail
charmer one day, repIpached her for TAX
ing such risks, thinking perhaps in this
way to stem the Practice so rapidly be
coming popular amepg his men: The
young lady promptly replied that she was
not all afraid of hulNts when protected
by one of Dewey's officers.
WELL replied tie Admiral, III you dc
not object to being killed | have nothing
to say; but I caRnot spare any Of my
The young lady does not know whether
this was a compliment or a reprOach.

approached it; his outstretched hands
struck upon a curtain hung before
another door, which admitted him inio a
passage, where a pleasant breeze, bur
dencd with many perfumes, as from. a
garden, puffed on his cheeks. The sound
Of steps, echoing at the end of the gal
lary, and the cleaning Of a light, struck
at once upon his ears andE eyes; he
rushed onwards, with loud cry, gained
the door, which, he doubted not, would
again reveal to him the blessed vision,
and the next moment found himself ar
rested by the Zegri 49,:
Behind Abdalla stood the slave Ayub,
bearing a torch, whose light shone
equally on the indignant -visaee OF the
renegade Moor and the troubled aspect OF
his captive.
Hath the senor forgot that he made me
a vow" cried Ab1aIla, sternly, "and that,
in this effort to escape. he covers himseli
with di Shonor2" 50.
The National tribune., 1899-06-01

As the t,iumphing Moor concluded his
fiery Grafton, the cavalier, whose excite
ment was raised to the last pitch, and
whose indignation and remorse were alike
kindled by full knowledge OF the CON
dition of his cOuntrymen, cried aloud:
CLARK thee, sir Moor, with these friends
thus reduced to extremity and deSpairing,
it is needful | should straightway join
myself, to endure what they endure, 10
suffer as they suffer, TO die as they die
| refuse to save my life, when the forfeit
of it To an honorable purpose, may re-
lieve them of their distresscs. | repent
me of the gage which | gave thee, | re-
yoke my promise of captivity, and am,
therefore, free to make my escape; which
| hereby yattempt,-peacefully if | can,-
but warning thee, if thou oppose, it shall
be at the peril Of thy life.'
So saying, the cavalier snatched up the
sword from the table, and sprang towards
the door. So quickly, indeed, did he act,
and so much did he take his jailer by
surprise, that he had nearly arrived at
the curtain, before Abdalla had time to
intercept him. His brain was in fer
ment of passion, and the various excite
ments of the evening had infamed him
again into fever: so that, in the fury of
the moment, when the Zegri leaped be
fore him, endeavOring to catch him in his
arms, he forgot everything but his pur-
pose, and the necessity Of escaping. He
caught the Moor by the throat, and
struggling violently, raised the crimson
steel to strike. The life of Abdalla seem
ed not to have a moments purchase -
the weapon was already descending on
his naked head, whcn,-at that very in
stant,-the curtain was drawn from the
door. and dimiy, but yet beyond all
shadow Of doubt, in the light of the
torch, the cavalier beheld the pale visage
OF the maid of Almeria, shining over the
shoulders of the Moor.
The sword fell from his hand, and his
whole frame shook, as, with wild eyes, ne
returned the gaze of the vision. The
Zegri, amazed, yet not doubling that this
sudden change was the mere revolution oi
delirium, took instant advantage OF it,
snatched the leatilern strap from the
lutte Of Jacinto; and when the curtain,
falling again, had concealed the spectral
countenance, the arms Of the cavalier
were bound tightly behind him. This
was a superiluous caution. His strength
had been supplied by fury, and the in
stant that this had subsided, the ex-
haustion Of two days illness returned.

To this reproGch, Don AGador replied
only by turning a bewildered and Stupi-
/ fled stare on his host; and the Zegri
reading in this the evidence of returning
delirium, relaxed the severity of his.colIn-
tenance, and spoke with a gentler voice.
"AIy lord does not we'll" he said, "to
leave his chamber, while the fever still
burns him"
He took the cavalier by the arm, and
Don Amador suffered himself to be led to
| his apartment. There, seating himself
on the couch, he surveyed the Moor with
steadfast and yet disturbed look, not at
all regarding the words oil sympathy pro-
nounced by his iailer. At last, rousing
himself, and muttering sort Of prayer,
ne said:

"Dost thou say, dreams"s cried the
cavalier with a laugh. "Surely mine

The Moor regarded his captive with

sights, this day, upon
the pyramid which caus-
ed me to remember those
noble Roman Generals,
who in ancient times,
were wont to devote them
selves to death, for the
good of the state. At the
very moment when the
condition of the Mexicans
was most dreadful, when,
despairing of the useful
ness of longer resistance,
they rushed frantically
upon the Spanish spears,
transfixing themselves by
their own act, or flung

their arms, flung them
selves at his feet, as if to

having thus thrown the
General off his guard.
they seized him, on a
sudden, in their arms,
and hurried him to the
edge of the terrace. From
that dizzy brink they
strove Ia drag him, will

dreadfully, tso that the

"Why should + dwell upon the conflict

Through the flames OF the many chapels,
that filled it,-with shouts and the roar oi
muskets,-the Christians, ever victorious,
and yet ever conquered even by victory,
rushed against the steps pf the pyramid,
disregarding the stones tumbled on them
from the terraces, the darts flung down
from the little barbicans or inches in the
wall. and the flaming logs shot down,
endwise, from the steps. Terrace alter

the Christians stood, at last, on the sum

think, that even these numbers of naked
