A Woman Did II.

When Gen. Miles was In .crviewed by
the correspondent OF the Kansas City
Star when he made the charges against
the secretary OF war. 1t was at once
suspected that the shrewd old head
of John Sherman was guiding Miles.
This suspicion was so strong that some
one asked Sherman II he had said any
thing to Miles about the controversy.
It will be remembered tI..s at this time
Miles was in Porto Rico and Sherman
in Washington. Sherman replied to
the question practically as follows: II
have had no letter from Gen. Miles
since he left Washington. and have
sent no letters to him. have not dis
cussed the war department with him."
After a pause. the shrewd old cojger.
with a twinkle in his eye. added: II
believe, however. that Mrs. Miles and
Mrs. Sherman have exchanged several
letters" He gave little chrckle, and
said that he had nothing more to say
about the matter. Mrs. Miles is q
niece OF Shermans.-Detroit Journal.

"A portrait painter can't afford to be

to a New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
porter. Il remember when first went
to Paris. Sergeant. who Is probably

Just beginning to attract attention. He
had painted n portrait Of his preceptor.

his getting commission from Baron
Rothschild. It was his first big job.
but he went about It with exactly the
same nonchalance that characterizes
him at present. During the last sit

finishing touches. It chanced that one
OF the baron's ears became unusually

heat OF the room. Sergeant seized on

Decorations lie Designed to Keep Cp
His Followers Courage.
An interesting relic OF Gen. Gordon
and the fall OF l>nartoum Is to be sold
in well known auction room In the
west end. says the London Times.
This is one of the pewter decorations
which Gordon designed and struck in
order to keep up the spirits and cour-
age Of his followers during the siege
of that town. The decoration in ques-
ton. which is similar In design to the
Turkish Order OF the Medjldieh. was
struck in the arsenal at a time when
the garrison was practically in ex-
tremis through disease and famine.
The medal. of which specimen may
be seen in the collection OF Gordon
relics in the museum OF the Royal
United Service Institution in White
hall, was struck in three different met
ais and bore In Arabic the words:
"Siege OF Khartoum." The gold order
was awarded to the higher and the
silver to the subordinate grade Of off,
GERS. while the pewter went to the rank
and file. to the townspeople and even
to the women Of the beleaguered town.

Vise-and then he leveled his pistol at
the head of Ned Carlton.
For moment the latter stood irres-
olute, and then, seeing the black muz-
zle of the revolver within foot of
his head, he muttered a deep maledic-
tion, stamped his foot with rage on the
deck, and said:
Mr.. Rodney, bear hand with me
to launch this murdered man-this
poor fellow-overboardw
Obey" thundered Antonio.
Like one in a dream bent over the
dead man, on whose pale face, glazed
eyes and relaxed jaw the bright moon
light was shining, and in my ex-
citement and bewilderment l nearly
slipped and fell into the pool of blood
which flowed from his death wound

and an irrepressible shtdder ran
through all my veins. But, that emo
tion once over, could have handled
a dozen witif perhaps indifference; and
there are few who, after touching the

of feeling.

which was open, we launched 1t into
the great deep. and as the brig flew
on, rolling before the early morning
wind, there remained no trace of poor
Will White, but his blood, a dark pool
upon the deck. and the crew stood
staring at it and at each other with
blank irresolution. horror and dismay
expressed In all their faces.
Empty-handed and defenseless as
we all were. each was afraid to speak
or act. lest he might be the next VIC
tim whom the merciless Cubano would
shoot down.
With q growl of defiance Antonio
now turned away, and, brandishing
the revolver in token OF the obedience
he meant to exact, he descended slow
ly into the cabin, where we soon heard
him smashing open the lockers. and
busy with the case-bottles In the stew
ards locker. or Billy the cabin boys
pantry.
His departure seemed relief to all,
but in half a minute after he was gone
below little Billy, or boy BILL" as
he was usually termed, whose sleep

the cabin stair in his shirt and ran
among us, sobbins with fear and dis

conference OF the Crew.
Some time elapsed before the poor
boy became sufficiently coherent to be
understood, but 1t would seem that on
hearing the first cry, which had
alarmed me. he sprang out of his
berth, which was at the foot of the
companionway, and on looking iuto
the cabin, he saw by the night light
which swung in the skylight, the
Cubano, armed with bloody knife,
rush from the captains state-room
into that OF the mate. which was op-
posite.
Another choking cry acquainted him
that Antonio had stabbed Hislop in Ills
sleep: and fearing that his own turn
would come next. he had crept into cn
empty cask which lay below the COM
panion-ladder. and remained there,
trembling with dread, until he took an
opportunity of rushing on deck and
joining us.
This terrible revelation added to our
dsmay.
We were now in n desperate predica-
ment, without captain or mate to
navigate the brig, and at the mercy OF
a well-armed desperate. to whom hon.
icide was a pastime; thus, all who
had handled him so severely on the
night we crossed the line began to feel
no small degree of alarm for their
own safety. being certain that more
blood would be shed the moment he
came on deck.
All dressed themselves with the ut
most expedition, and it was resolved
to hold council OF war. Lambourne
was still at the wheel; and to be pre-
pared for any emergency. he resolved
to reduce the canvas on the brig. So
the royals were taken down, all stud
ding-sails taken in. and the topsails
were handed: all this was done as
quietly as possible. lest any sound
might arouse the fiend who seemed
now to possess the Eugenie.
Lambourne ventured to peep down
the skylight, when he saw Antonio
drinking brandy from case bottle.
without troubling himself with n
glasa Then the Spaniard proceeded
to attire himself in the best clothes
of Captain Weston; he forced open
several lockfast places, and took from
them money and jewelry, which he
concealed about his person. What his
ultimate object could be in perform
ing these acts of plumber on the open
