cept that she bore the name of the
virtue of Prudence. which she de-
spised.
But for a long habit of rebelling
against her name she might not have
fallen in love with Arthur Rowan, a
somewhat dazzling youth, who was
spending the summer as the guest of
his uncle. a neighbor of Judge Prior.
Rowan was just out of college, where
he had been a fair student and a great

assurance that comes of triumphant
popularity. Prudence thought him the

roses and the thorns of youth. He be-

Ut was to be the mildest possible
form of the folly-an elopement
reduced TO the absolute mini
mum Of indiscretion. The two
young people had planned it with
such self denying care that. i'm the
words of the prospective bridegroom,
there was nothing left of it except The
minister's fee" No thrilling flight. no
penitent return. no fear of paternal
wrath or joy of forgiveness formed
any part of the prospect. The secret
was never to be revealed at all.
Some years later there would be a
sumptuous wedding, one of those So
ciety events whose distressing public
ity steals half the sanctity from mar
rage, since those who are united be-
fore the braZen face of fashion may
well forget into what Presence they
have really come to make their vow.

that this second ceremony was super
fiuous in the sight of heaven.

dence that we were busy. Houses lined
both sides of the road, and, being the rear
company, my men marched through a
burning fiery furnace. Occasional halts
left us standing directly between two
fires, and it was hot enough without the
extra caloric. The eyer-watchfuI Colonel
observed this condition of affairs, and soon
the Adjutant came trotting back along the
column with orders not to set fire to any
more houses, adding, with smile, as he
turned in his saddle in departing, "As we

came back it was different, and the rear

which the returning column greeted those

railroad about the middle of the after
noon. Piling upon the waiting cars we
were speedily taken back to our stations,
and the punitive expedition was a thing
of the past. We learned later that this
raid did more than all that had been done
before to convince the Filipinos that the
Americans were in earnest and that it
was not entirely safe to hang around our
camps and play the 'amigo act and then
make night attacks upon US. But it was
the only one of its kind. Strict orders
against burning houses were issued there
after, and but few were burned except
when they were stOrehouses of rice, that
should be destroyed, or sheltered sharp
shooters. AS we lay down to sleep off our

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

At the suggestion of the President, the
Board of Awards of Medals to those Off
GERS and sailors who took part in the oper-
ations around Cuba, has withheld the pre-
sentatiOn of its report until it can con-
slider the claims Of the crew of the aux
iliary cruiser Yosemite.
Much pressure is being brought to bear
in behalf of the crew of that vessel dur
ing the Spanish war, which included sew
eral wealthy men of Michigan. Many in
fluental persons are striving to induce
the Board of Awards to recommend that
medals be awarded to the Yosemite crew,
in view of the fact that the Yosemite is
credited with having taken part in an en-
gagement with two Spanish gunboats. 1t
is said the Board was not disposed to give
much consideration to the claim of the of
ficers and men of the Yosemite, and its re-
port, submitted several weeks ago, made
no mention of their services.
The men of the New York and the Off
GERS and men of the st. Paul have also
filed claim for recognition for special ser
vices during the war.

Americanos were coming. They seemed
always to take it for granted that we
would arrive, conclusion founded on ex-
perience.
Just after our company on the extreme
left reached the line of the creek, which
was at that point the farthest in advance
because of a bend in the stream, man
in civilian clothing riding a fine gray
pong, or horse, as the Filipinos call them,
was seen to leave the town and make his
way rapidly toward the north on the road
leading to Norzagaray. He was within
Krag range, but beyond the range of the
Springfield, and as at that time each com
pany had few krags for sharpshootlng
purposes, one of the sharpShOOters drew
a bead on the horseman. His Captain OBJ
served it and ordered him not to shoot,
and thus it was that AguinaldO got away,
for that the fugitive was the Filipino
chief we learned a few minutes later
when we entered the town.
The Minnesotas swept into the place
from the right flank and found it desert
ed, and in a few minutes it was i'll flames,
everything being burned except the stone
fort This was primarily punitive ex-
petition. and one intended to render Santa
Maria nc longer tenable as u base of op-
crations against our flank, hence its de-
Struction.
From some Cinnamon who remained to
greet US we learned that the man on the
gray horse was Aguinaldo himself; that he
had remained until the Hotchkiss shells
began TO drop into town, and then had
mounted and ridden hastily away to the
north. If we had not been held back be-
cause of the slow progress Of the artillery,
and the artillery had not been used to
frighten the game from cover, we might
have accomplished more. We learned very
soon that we could not surprise Filpinos
or suufurp thpm with artillery and
Sugies. The men in the field learned it
much sooner than the Generals at Manila
did, but they all knew it eventually. Now
columns chasing insurgent bands do not
cucumber themselves with noisemakers or
extra loads.

was not yet done. Two roads lead out of

sun began to CLINT over the bamboo tops.
Just across the track the road forked, one
fork bearing due east and the other to the
northeast. The Minnesotas took the for
mer, followed by the Hotchkiss gun, and
the OregOns took the latter, with the
larger gun in their rear. We had not gone
half a mile before we deployed the two
regiments connecting and forming line
more than a mile long from right to left.
My own battalion was in support of the
four companies deployed on the line, but
was kept up so close to the firing line that
it was just as much in the zone of fire
as the others, without the pleasure or
satisfaction of doing any of the shooting
on its own account.
With modern military rifles n difference
in distance of a couple or three hundred
yards makes little difference in safety from
the fire of the enemy. and if supports are
to be kept within serviceable distance of
the firing line they must be kept within
the danger zone. Therefore it behooves
the supporting line to hunt cover as dill
gently as the firing line itself, and having
less to attend to possibly it is more dill
gent in that respect as a rule. The Fill
ipino habit of firing high is n discOuraging
one to supports and reserves, for bullets
