McClure's Magazine for February opens
with a notable poem by Rudyard Kipling
i'm which the white Man" Enthusiastically
the White Man of the United States is
urged to take up his burden and go forth
and fulfill his divine Office of master and
teacher to his "new-caught sullen peoples,
half devil and half child" Following this
is an interesting account, by Franklin
Matthews, of an actual descent in the
Holland diving torpedo boat. Capt. Brady
relates some more good stories from his
own experience as a telegraph operator
and train dispatcher. and Stephen Crane
depicts, in his own vivid manner some
striking instances of bravery on the part
of marines TO whom it fell at Guantan-
amo to signal from shore to the ships
under full exposure to Spanish sharpshoot-
ers. second series of Browere's life

quite as remarkable in the power and real

appesred in McClures some months ago.

watchfulness, thus enabling me more
readily to reach the coast. l intrusted
the letter to Maj. Berante for delivery,
who put it in his pocket to be kept for
future use against me, and entered the
confederate service. If you will in
trust me for q few minutes with its
keeping L will show you my real re-
ply, my vindication, written with the
juice of lemon on the very document
Maj. Berante has been preserving for
my destruction"
Taking the discriminating letter from
the commanding judge, Gen. Heath
stepped to the fireplace. A thrill shot
through those present, thinking that
he was about to burn it. But no; he
held it before the flame, carefully keep
ing it far enough to prevent its ignit-
ing. Not word was spoken, all eyes
being fixed intently on the paper
curling In the heat. Presently the gem
eral drew it from before the flame,
glanced at it, then raised it aloft so that
1t could be seen by everyone in the
room. Across its face brown letters
had come out clear and distinct:
Yours received. Thanks. We march to-
night. HEATH"
Slowly the general in chief rose from
his chair, and, advancing to the yindi-
Gated man, grasped his hand; Margaret
laughed and wept by turns, while the
rest of us threw up our hats and shout
ed. When quiet was restored Gen.
Heath concluded:
You are aware, general, that during
the period of my service in the west ru-
mors have been current that / have
been secretly and treacherously aiding
the enemy. 1t is now plain whence this
secret malignant influence came. Be-
rante was made prisoner at Shiloh and
had the ear of union officers. Having
been exchanged before Chickamauga
he was present at that battle and had
an opportunity to converse with the
union officers captured there. leave
! you to infer whence came the reports
that the confederate successes were
largely due to friend in the union
army, that friend being myself. Atlast
am confronted with the author of my
misfortunes. am unable to punish
him, for he has come into our lines
pledged to protection, but thank the
Great Jehovah, the God of battles and
OF peace, that from this time forward
he will be powerless to injure me-"
Notwithstanding wars horrors, it
has its p,easurable episodes. My most
delightful remembrance of that period
of strife and suffering is the few min
utes following the exit of COL, Archard
and Maj. Berante. There was a sudden
wringing of hands, eyes looking into
eyes that danced triumphantsa babel OF
congratulations. AS for me, forgetting
myself completely, / threw my arms

the general-in-chief. II have bit of
evidence to submit in my behalf. But
first let me speak a word with refer
ence to my past relations with Maj.
Berante. We were classmates at West
Point, and afterwards stationed at the
same fort on the Atlantic coast. Be-
ing of Spanish extraction, he inherited
a Spaniard's passion for gambling, and
thereby got into trouble. AS command
ant of the post it became my duty to
confine him in one of the classmates,
and since then he cherished for me no
great friendship. The spring of 1861
found us again together at post in

Secessionists in a neighboring town
were prepa ring to surround and cap
ture our little force. Fortunately, the
mayor was at heart union man, and
secretly aided me to thwart the de-
signs of the conspirators. l had been
informed from Washington that a
transport would be sent to the coast
of Texas to remove my command, and
l relied upon the mayor to stave off an
attack by diplomacy till the arrival of
the ship, and to inform me of It's COM
ing; information that could only be
furnished me clandestinely.
"One morning received from the
mayor letter containing demand

with an offer to me personally of tract

AN oPPoRTUNE ARRIVAL.

There was sound of high words in
the hall; the door was thrown open, and
an old man with hair and beard as white
as snow, ragged garments, and faded
straw hat, struggled past sentry who
was endeavoring to hold him back, and
rushed into the room. We all looked as
tonished at an intruder who showed so
little Difference for the commander-in-
chief. The old man stood for moment
casting rapid glances from one to an
other, evidently in search. then his eyes
became fixed on Mellodew, who from
the first moment of the strangers en-
trance had shrunk away, endeavoring
to conceal himself behind the others,
chattering and grinning like a fright
ened ape. The old man tore off his hair
and beard, revealing the features of
Corporal PUNK.
"You white-livered houndl"
Corporal Punk" exclaimed Marga-
ret and at breath.
Corporal" said Gen. Heath, "you are
in the presence Of the general-in-chief."
PUNK Strengthened up and brought his
hand up to his forehead awkwardly by
way of salute. "You have come too late;
the case is closed"
"Closed, general? Closed without my
story? Closed without my SEEM that
animated tombstone where he so nearly
placed me? Dead men tell no tales,
Enoch, but I'm not dead. Do you see

"Come, corporal, the general-in-chief

ton. Private Mellodew has charged

spring to state falsely that Gen. Long
