In a letter addressed TO the seere-
taIy OF war. Judge Advocate General
Davis says the charges Of atrocities
mentioned by General Miles are un'
der investigation. and dwells upon the
difhculties OF arriving at the truth.
The probability is that none OF the Of
tenders will ever be brought TO Jus
tlce. or made TO suffer even a repre-
mand. Il appears 20 be the disposl-
tion OF the army officers In the islands
TO shield their fellows who are
charged with mistreatment Of Flipi-
nos. This may be due n the fact that
some Of the more savage Of the ma
tives have cruelty ill-used American
prisoners. but Il Is none the less de
plorable and indefensible.

A KNIGHT OF
THE HIGHWAY

Author of "a Man at Arms. 50 The Son

CHAPTER V.-CoNTINUED.

He pushed back his hat, and for
the first time the moonlight fell full
upon a countenance that if once
seen was not likely to be forgotten.
It was townybearded almost to the
close-Set eyes, and the effect was at
the same time fantastic and repel-
liant.
3 "Whiskers! "-Rossiter's lips uncon-
sciously framed the name by which
this man, Hart Dawson, was COM
monty known among his associates.
The mind of the younger vagabond
reverted with swift distinctness to a
certain chilly night in the Arkansas
bottom-lands when he. with Hart
Dawson and pal of the latter, had
sought shelter in a rough lean-to.
Chance had made the three compan-
ions, and they had shared fortunes
for several weeks. In the heart of
that bitter night Rossiter had awak-
ened, bitten to the bone by the cold,
to find himself alone, the thick coat
which he had wrapped about him
gone, in its pockets the few small
coins which he possessed. It was a
sharp experience, and while Rossiter
was not one of the sort to cherish a
q
man before him small goodwill.
His first impulse, born of the keen
recollection of the suffering of that
night, was to assail Dawson there
and then, and have revenge in some
sort, if he might. for the contempt
bic theft and desertion. He con-
trolled himself, however, and made
NO effort to rise, hoping not to be
recognized. But the working Of his
lips and his very apparent emotion
did not escape the notice of the man
in the road. He leaped up the bank,
and, not knowing what to expect,
.Rossiter' felt compelled to get upon
his feet. So in the fence-corner they
faced each other, the one curious,
aggressive, bulky, and brutal; the
other tense with restrained passion,
alert, and sinewy.
"Blast me-" CALCULATED Dawson, his
inexpensive countenance showing
amazement and discomfort in so far
as that was possible, ''if it amt
Charlie Ross!' This was the name
that some of his wandering compan-
ions had jocularly given to Rossiter
"Well,"' said the latter coolly,
"what then?"
Dawson quickly recovered his COM
poSure.
"Ye don't seem glad to see me-"
he remarked.
1--WE had greater pleasures"
"Oh, come now, Charlie, what's the
use o. standin' off like that with an
ole pal? 'Twan't me so much as it
was Lanky Bill as done We dirt. Let's

Rosters hands were clenehed at
his side. A cold rage was growing
on him at the mans effrontery.

sis my own concern, not yours"
The two measured each other
steadily for several seconds. their
eyes upon a level, for they were of
equal height, and then Dawson's
glance shifted.
"Ye always held yerself too cussed
good fer common folks" said he.
''You'd better move on, 'Whiskers,' ="
said Rossiter.
Their eyes met again, and presently
Dawson drew back pace, and finally
descended to the highway.
eye can go to hell, fer all O. me"
he remarked, and shambled off down
the road towards the valley.

crinkling across her brow, lent a
soft witchery to her face. Her voice
rippled in sweet modulations, and
her laugh, which was never loud, had
in it beguiling contagion.
"Gettin' acquainted?" asked Joe
Becraft, as Rossiter tarried an in
slant by the box where the Becraft
family were busily engaged.
1t was not the first remark of the
sort that Joe had INDUCED in, and it
Jared on Rossiter, he hardly knew
why. Becraft's previous familiar
ties had not touched him in this way.
He was well aware that it was natur-
al for Becraft thus to express him
self, and that what he said was meant
wholly in good part, but inwardly he
resented it; and while he endeayored
not to show this in his reply, Joe
was quick to see something was
wrong, and thereafter was more
careful how he referred to Miss Mer-
ton and Miss DenSmore.
During the two days that followed
Rossiter was quite as cautious as at
first not to address any conversation
to the two girls unless the invited
it. The free-and-easy life of The hop

in their intercourse, and when Miss
Merton and her cousin discovered
that their pole-puller was intellectu-
ally their equal, whatever he might
be from a social point of view, they
often chatted freely with him during
the occasional intervals when he was
not busy and CHANGED to be standing
near. They began, however, to have
considerable curiosity concerning
him, for despite his rough clothes it
grew to be evident that he had some
time been accustomed to different
environment from that in which he
was now placed.
81 don't believe he's a mill-hand

ing one of the talks the two had con-
corning him.

intimate acquaintance with the work

turned with some amusement.

STORY OF MARSHALL.
A Stranger in Richmond Who Mis-
took the Chief Justice to His
Evident Embarrassment.

Not unlike some other great men,
Chief Justice Marshall gave little at
tention to dress or to personal pull
chritude, although his face was I'M
usually handsome. A story is told Of
a young man who had recently re-
moved to Richmond. This newcomer
saw in the market rusty-looking old
man making his way slowly through
the entrance, and, walking up to him
abruptly asked him if he would not
like to make nine-pence by carry
ing a turkey home for him. The old
man quietly took the turkey and
walked behind the new1y-arrived citi-
zen without word until the latter
had reached his own gate.
"Catch!" said the young man, toss
ing a nine-pence to his hireing.
The old man caught the nine-pence,
and as he turned to walk away gen
tleman passing by bowed deferen-
tally to him.
"Who is that shabby old fellow?"
asked the turkey buyer.
s"The chief justice of the United
States" was the reply.
'1mpossible!" stammered the blum
derer. "Why did he bring the tur-
key-why@"
"To teach you a lesson in good
breeding" interrupted the gentle
man. He viii give the money away
before he gets home, but 1 have no
doubt he is enjoying the joke you
have so condescendingly given him"

By and by Jack Parmelee paused
moment to chat with the two girls.
'How does your new pole-puller get
on?" was the first question he asked.
ooh, beautifully" responded Miss
Merton. do you know his name?"
''Rossiter' is what he calls him
self"
"That sounds rather ambiguous.
Do you think that isn't his name?"
mo, I've no reason to think So"
How'd you get hold of him? He
doesn't work about here. I under
stood all the pole-pullers were men
from near by"
Parmelee then explained how he
had happened to employ Rossiter.
srHe came with the Becrafts over
yonder," he added, indicating them
with nod, mill people from Falls
burgh. Very likely he's mill hand,
but don't care what he is SO longs

'You can," cried that young lady,
"only you won't"

ordnance. "'Tain't possible! But

on you two" and off he posted to a
different part of the yard, where a
stentorian voice was bawling Hop
sack!"
Rossiter thoroughly enjoyed minis
tering to the wants of the two girls
1t had been many a long day since he
had been thrown into even the re-
hottest contact with women of re-
finement, and though he had little
speech with Miss Merton and her
cousin, he had plenty of opportunity
to observe them. Occasionally the
former addressed a remark to him
or piled him with question, feeling
free to do so as Mr.. Merton's
daughter, but he held himself scrupu-
lousy aloof unless his services were
required, and was careful to say
nothing unless he was first spoken to.
Miss Merton's sunny temperament
and gay spirits pleased and amused
him, but he found Miss Densmore's
personality far the more attractive.
Furthermore, to him she was fairer
to look upon. Her complexion was
remarkable for its clarity. Now and
again, when she was speaking, in her
cheeks a faint flush like the tint of
the briar-rose blossom would come
and go. Her eyes, of the deepest blue,
met those of the person with whom
she was conversing with an open and
confding glance. Constancy was
mirrored in them, and they seemed
like twin wells of purity and truth.

sunbeams ambushed, had way of es-

and as though she regarded this as
proof positive that she had estab-
ished her point. Miss Merton
branched off upon another theme.
When Saturday night came Ros-
sitter proposed to Joe Becraft that
they should walk into Hintonyille to-
gether. Before starting he ap-
preached Parmelee, into whose good
graces he had rapidly advanced by
the admirable way in which he had
performed his work. and requested
that he be paid the amount due him
for his labor.
"It's not accordin' to our CUSTOM"
said the jovial manager, but as long
as I'm pretty reasonably sure it isn't
whisky you're wantin' to spend it
for, 1 don't mind SEEM that you're
accommodated"
with such pair of shoes, the only
ones I possess" said Rossiter, point
ing to his dilapidated footgear. sit
isn't very likely the money'H go for
drink"
Both men derived much pleasure
from their walk. They found the
streets of the little town bright
with purchasers and strollers come
in from the country, and in the shops
Rossiter saw a number of faces that
he recalled from his old college
days. After having liquidated the
small debt he owed Becraft, he in
vested in a pair of stout shoes at a
sale that CHANGED to be in progress,
and also in a cheap razor and few
toilet articles. He then had exactly
a dime remaining.
"Just enough for two beers!" he
exclaimed, pitching the little silver
disk into the air and catching it
as it descended.
Joe protested against his spending
his last cent, but Rossiter insisted
that it was Ibis treat so the two
went into the bar room of the Hin
tonville House, where the desired
beverage was speedily Forthcoming.
AS Rossiter placed his empty glass
upon the bar bacchanalian college
ditty which he used occasionally to
roar through the streets with a few
choice and congenial spirits "a ditty
which embalmed the name of a for
mer proprietor of the Hintonville
House), unrecalled for years. went
lifting through his brain
Down to Powers we will go,
Let the lager freely flow,
Then go Keeling to and fro
Back to Alma Materi"
1t had very rakish sound, but it had
never meant much more than the
natural outburst of the exuberance
of youth.
With the recollection of the college
song came the thought of the col
Iege, and he decided that on the
morrow he would make a pilgrimage
to the scenes Of his student days.
Accordingly, Sunday morning, soon
after he had breakfasted, he slipped
away and set out. The autumn term
had not yet opened, and he knew he
should have the campus practically
to himself. Reaching Hintonville, he
left the village square behind, and
turned westward along the extensive
maple-shaded street that led to the
base of the hill on the crest of which
the college buildings were situated.
Upon the old stone bridge spanning
the swiftly flowing Oskenonto he
paused, as he had so often done be-
| fore, to watch the dancing water,
the swaying willows, and the chang
ing lights and shadows. Then he
went on up the long, steep slope.
