A m1rDArAo RULERS CANE.

A curious letter, written In long,
back-handed loops, not wholly unlike
the whole notes in musical notation,
recently passed through the depart
ment, says the Boston Evening Tran
script. It was from Wato Mama Da-
toh Baqui, one of our faithful subjects
in Mindanao, a ruler Of his people. and
a Nohammedan of true faith and al
legiance. His conduct had been SO ex-
emplary at the time when other In
habitants of the Philippine isles were
giving much trouble to the United
States, that Gen. Macarthur, after a
tour through that part of the archtpel-
ago, decided to send this Datoh cane.
He accordingly had one beautifully
headed and engraved, at an expense
Of about $50, and forwarded to the
loyal chief with his compliments. The
Acknowledgement, translated into Eng

Gently that they knew the song. says
the Philadelphia Press. Capt. Leary.
OF the Richmond, sent forth the order
that no leaves Of absence ashore would
be granted unless the men showed that
they knew the words Of the national
anthem. To ascertain how many OF
the sailors and landsmen really had
memorized the song Capt. Leary de-
cided to hold test examination. In
the morning. after the men had been
lined up at roll cali. Chaplain Morr1-
son requested all those who knew the
words to step forward. To the sur

twelve stepped out from the ranks.
To relieve the nervous tension and
merriment the lieutenant In charge I'M

Some of the sailors say that while the
captain has authority to compel them
to learn rules OF ordinance, ne has no

Curious Condition Governing Arrest.
Rear Admiral Terry, commandant at
the Washington navy yard, tells an
amusing story about court martial re-
quirements in the navy. Admiral Skier
rett was then a captain, and an officer
who had been charged with an offense
and ordered under arrest presented
himself wearing his full dress uniform,
but having no sword. II can't arrest
you," said Capt. Skerrett, looking for
the missing sword, unless you come
prepared to submit your sword to me"
The officer explained that he had not
received his sword from home, al
though it had been expressed to him.
well, you'll have to get one" was
the reply. So the officer skirmished
about in the navy yard for some one
who had sword to lend. Finding
one, the offender returned to Capt.
Skerrett and was promptly and regu-
larly put under arrest according to
regulations.

We are not accustomed to consider

might make us endless trouble if we
were SO unfortunate as to have them
against us. They could range our
whole coast, destroying everything
afioat except our battleships and our
fastest cruisers, and remaining them
selves in absolute obscurity. They
could cut off all trade between the Uni
ted States, Cuba and Porto Rico. They
could wreck the entrance of the Mic
aragua canal, If that were finished.
They could go through the Suez canal,
harry our naval force at Manila and
rekindle the insurrection in the Phil
ippines. They could loot our coaling
station at Tutuila, carry off our gov
ernor from Guam, as the Charleston
did to the Spaniards, and wreck our
trade with Hawaii. They could devas-
tate our Pacific coast, ruin the shore
mines at Nome and capture the gold
fleet from Alaska. No battleships that
we could send in pursuit of them could
catch them. The only things with
which we could hope to bring them to
an engagement would be our new ar
mored cruisers, and it might be that
these commerce destroyers, without a
gun heavier than eight-inch, and with
only six inches of armor, but with the
all-important quality of speed, would
save us from danger before which

CHAPTER XIV.

Inc Barred WINDOW.
That evening was dark and cloudy.
BY nine o'clock the largest object
would not cast a shadow.
Jacinta, still weak after the exhaust
ing excitement Of the day. waited al
most breathlessly for the midnight
hour to come. for it was by this time
certain that the plan OF Francisco WAS
working to perfection. But, so
strangely are women constituted, even
as she rejoiced in the fact that her
fathers life was to be saved, she be-
gan to rebel against the fulfillment of
the promise that had made his saliva
ton possible.
She loathed and despised Francisco,
whom she knew to be man Of low
and brutal tastes, a small, mean soul,
and her heart grew sick when she
thought of the future that must now
be hers-bound to a man upon whom
she would look only with loathing and
contempt.
And as her mind dwelt on the short
comings and evil character of the man
who was destined to be her husband,
there rose before her the picture of the
handsome young American who had
rescued her from Francisco's evil
hands.
There was a man she could have
loved.
s*He loves another" she said to her.

to the hateful conqueror. All! if l
were free, why might not the American
love 1ue?"
She cast aside her gloomy thoughts
and went to the window, where, press-
ing her tear-stained face against the
bars. she peered out into the starless
night. A slight rustling sound beneath
the window startled her. She took
step backward in sudden fear.
She listened intently. What was
that A Whisper! She listened again.
This time there could be no doubt.
A voice came out of the darkness,
whispering, almost whistl;ng the name,

Jacinta's breath came hard. She
strained her eyes, and by the aid of
what little light escaped through the
window she saw the handsome face of
the American upturned to hers.
