Sioux City. Oct. 22.--That the in

Then ensconsed in his boiler Per-
kins comfortably listened TO the ring
of a fight which seemed to be in the

Time passed. The fight, short any

when the silence came Perkins might
have been seen cautiously protrudlng

back toward the marines with his hat

The marines, with an annoyed air,
were settling down again when an APP

There was great excitement.

and as he drew near they gathered

them.

SHORT STORY FOR

The CHARGE OF PERKINS
CBy Stephen Crane)

He could not distinguish between a

had been elected TO fill the position OF

Herald. Perkins had no information
of war and no particular rapidly OF
mind for acquiring 1t, but he had that
rank and nDrOus quality Of courage
which springs from the thick soil OF
Western America.
II was morning in Guantanamo Bay

toward the entrance of the harbOr over
the blue sunlit waters Of the Carib-
bean. In the stern of this tug Perkins
was seated upon some coal bags. while
the breeze gently ruffled his greasy
pajamas. He was staring at brown
line of entertainments, surmOunted by
a flag, which was Camp MCCalla. In
the harbor were anchored two or three
grim, gray cruisers and transport.
As the tug steamed up the radiant
channel Perkins could see men moving
on shore near the CharrCd ruins of a
village. Perkins was deeply moved;
here already was more war than he
had ever known in Minnesota. Pres

milton supply. They paid no attention
to the visitor, being morose from the
inconvenience of two days and nights
of fighting Perkins toiled up the zig
gag path to the top OF the hill and
looked with eager eyes at the trenches,
the field pieces, the funny little Colts,
the flag, the grim marines lying wear
lily on their arms. And still more, he
looked through the clear air over 1000
emanuted at inopportune times repeat
ed flocks Of Mauser bullets.
Perkins was delighted. lie was filled
with admiration for these jaded and
smoky men who lay so quietly in the
trenches waiting for resumption of
guerrilla enterprise But he wished
they would heed him. He wanted TO
talk about IT, Save for sharp inquir-
ing glances no one acknowledged his
existence.
Finally he @rr"oached two young
Lieutenarts md in his innocent West

like Il drink. The effect on the two
young Lieutenants was immediate and
astonishing with one voice they

almost wept with JOY at this amiable
response and he exclaimed that he

bring off a bottle Of Scotch. This at

the mOnastic orders were in power

generously and the fields that are now
so many barren wastes, blossomed
with crops in flower. But rude
change came with the era OF friction

kins lunged down the hill and fed to
his boat, where in his eXuberance he
engaged in a preliminary alteration
with some whiskey. Consequently he
toiled again up the hill in the blasting
sun with his enthusiasm in no ways
abated. The parched officers were
very gracious and such was the state
Of mind of Perkins that he did not
note properly how serious and solemn
was his engagement with the whiskey.
And because of this fact, and because
of his antecedents, there happened the
lone charge of William B. Perkins.
Now, as Perkins went down the hill
something happened A private in
those high trenches found that cart
ridge was clogged in his rife, 1t then
becomes necessary with most kinds OF
rifles to explode the cartridge. The
private took the rifle TO his captain
hot do in that camp TO fire a rife for
mechanical purposes and without
warning because the eloquent sound of
II would bring 900 tried marines 10
tension, and high expectancy. So the
captain turned and in a loud voice an
rUunced to the camp that lie found II
necessary TO shoot in the air. The
communication rang sharply from
voice TO voice. Then the captain raised
the weapon and fired. Whereupon-
and whereupon-a large line of guer-
rillas lying In the bushes decided
swiftly that their presence and posi-
ton were discovered and swiftly they
vOlleyed.

werei alive with the crack and sputter
