A Famous Naval Victory.
Mahan, in Scribner's.

Capt. A. T. Mahan, in Scribner's.
The Constitution ranged on very slowly
across the Guerriere's bows, from left to
right, her sails shaking in the wind. be-
cause the yards could not be braced, the
braces having been shot away. From this
commanding position she gave two raking
broadsides, to which her opponent could
reply only feebly from few forward guns;
then, the vessels being close together. and
the British forging slowly ahead, threaten
ing to cross the Americans stern, the helm
of the latter was put up. AS the Consti-
tuition turned away the bowsprit of the
Guerrero lunged over her quarterback, and
became entangled by her portmizzen rig
ging, the result being that the two fell into
the same line, the Guerrero astern, and
fastened to her antagonist as described.
In her crippled condition for maneuvering
1t was possible that the British captain
might seek to retrieve the fortunes of the
day by boarding, for which the present sit
uation seemed to offer some opportunity,
and from the reports of the respective Off
GERS it is clear that the same thought oc-
Cured to both parties, prompting in each
the movement to repel boarders rather than
to board A number of men clustered on
either side at the point of contact, and
here, by musketry fire, occurred some of
the severest losses. The first lieutenant and
sailing master of the Constitution fell
wounded and the senior officer of marines
dead, shot through the head. All these
were specially concerned where boarding
was at issue. This period was brief, for at
$50 o'clock the fore and main masts of the
British frigate gave way together, carrying
with them all the head booms, and she lay
helpless hulk in the trough of a heavy
sea, rolling the muzzles of her guns under.
A sturdy attempt to get her under control
with the spritsail was made, but this re-
source, a bare possibility to a dismasted
ship in fleet action, with friends around,
was only the assertion of a sound, never
give-up tradition, against hopeless odds, in
a naval duel, with full spared enemy.
The Constitution hauled off for half an hour
to repair damages, and upon returning re-
ceived the surrender Of her enemy.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS. March q, 1904.
There Is Latin Quarter Bohemian in the
French cabinet. 1t is NJ. Camille Pelletan,
minister of marine-as we say, Secretary of
the Maya statesman of so curious per-
sonal reputation that nine-tenths of Paris
laughs gaily at the idea of Minister Pelle-
tan in connection with bath tub. 1t is a
jest that comes up once day In nine
tenths of the Paris papers. In its essence 1t
is doubtless an exaggeration; nevertheless
1t gives good idea of the ingrained reputa-
ton of this Latin Quarter Bohemian states
man.
What Is Bohemian?
In the Latin Quarter a Bohemian is a
cultured or learned lingerer by the way
Devotng himself to art or learning, he
comes in time to prefer the pleasures of the
journey to the triumph of arriving at his
avowed destination.
Again, the Latin Quarter Bohemian's
motto is:
Give me the luxuries of life and l will
do without the necessities"
And note how it comes back to the same
irresponsible life of the learned quarter. full
of vague promise. The ultimate necessity
is, of course, to pass out of it into the
great world of work and reward outside.
Now the case-hardened Bohemian either re-

Red rays from the perforated lamp above
turned the blue wreaths of smoke into
haze of purple. and beyond, through the
archway of the court, hung the fiat, orange
disk of the rising moon.
Orson had his glass half way to his lips

not the change of feature; but for Orson
the world had turned over.
There had been a man to whom, after
months of legal contest, the courts had
given-Orson believed with vile injustice
the title and estates Orson had claimed as
his own. That man was also winning the
one woman Orson would ever love.
Then when the typhoon of 1902 had struck
the Equator in the Indian ocean and she
had gone down with all on board with her
had gone the man who stood between Orson
and his estates between himself and the
woman. To him, as next heir, the first had
already come; the second in due time he
hoped to win.
New across the cafe. there In the arch
way where the moonlight fell sat the man.
There was no halt In the swing of the
incident Orson told. but he was thinking
as a man thinks who has but an instant in
which to decide his fate. He finished his
story and as the laughter of the others
mingled with the noise about them, his
glance fell upon his hand as 1t lay upon

ANIMALS AT SCHOOL.
Only an Unkept, Unconscious School
and One Entirely Instructive.

From the Century
Is there anything which, without great
violence to language, may be called a
school of the woods? In the sense in which
a playground is a school-a playground
without rules methods or a director
there is a school of the woods. 1t Is an
unkept, an unconscious school or gymna-
SUM, and is entirely instructive. In play
the young of all animals, no doubt, get a
certain amount of training and disciplining
that helps fit them for their future ca
reers; but this school is not presided over
or directed by parents, though it Is some
times taken part in by them. 1t is spon-
taneous and haphazard, without rule or
system; but is, in every case, along the
line of the future struggle for life of the
particular bird or animal. A young marsh
hawk which we reared used to play at
striking leaves or bits of bark with it's tai
ons; kittens play with ball, or a cob, or
a stick, as If it were a mouse; dogs race
and wreStle with each other as in the
chase; ducks dive and sport in the water;
doves circle and dive in the air as If es-
Gaping from a hawk; birds pursue and
dodge each other in the same way; bears
wrestle. and box; chickens have mimic Dat
ties; colts run and leap; fawns probably
do the same thing; squirrels play some
thing like game of tag in the trees;
lambs butt one another and skip about the
rocks; and so on.
In fact, nearly all play, including much
of that of man, takes the form of mock
battle, and is to that extent an education
for the future Among the carnivora it
takes also the form of the chase. It's
spring and motive are, of course, pleas
ure, and not education; herein again re-
vealing the cunning of nature-the power
that conceals purposes of it's own In our
most thoughtless acts The cat and the
kitten play with the live mouse, not to in
dulge the sense of cruelty, as some have
supposed, but to indulge in the pleasure Of
the chase and of capture, and unconscious
ly to practice this feat. The cat rarely
plays with live bird, because the recap
ture would be more difficult, and might
fail. What fisherman would not like to
capture his big fish over and over again,
If he could be sure of doing it, not from
cruelty, but for the pleasure of practicing
his art?

"They Say"

'"They Say" is a common liar,
And she goeth up and down,
And her tongue is tongue of fire
In the homes Of all the town.
Alike in howell and palace,
And on the broad highway,
To our lips poisoned chalice
She lifts by night and day.
What falsehocd coins she utters!
Her breast, tits SANDERS seat;
And gossip's filthy cutters
Are tracked by her vagrant feet.
Over lives as pure and hlameless
And white is the winter SHOWS,
Suspicious unnamed and nameless
Her passing shadow throws.
LO! where is a feeble brother,
Borne down in the deadly strife
That we wage with one another?
With O stab she seeks his life.
And where one sits lone and lonely,
As the widowed years go by,
She comcth, but comath only
To beguile, and then belle.
The fame that virtue prizes,
The wreath that honor wears.
She soils with her dark surmises,
With her tainted fingers tears.
Then curse me the cruel liar
Who goeth her evil way.
And curse me the tongue Of FIRE
That blasts with breath They Sayr'

1t was morning. The sun had risen with
the startling quickness of the east. and now
the cry "Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar. Ashhadu an la ilaha III
Allahr' sounded from the neighboring
mosque
In the house which had been Arkwright's
sat Orsor looking down upon the man
stretched upon couch. He tossed mutter-
ing incoherently. Orson forced a few drops
OF liquid between his caked lips, then re-
sumed his watch and his inward struggle
The mans condition was clear to Orson.

fever had again begun its ravages. The
dose of the night before still further be-
clouded the workings of his BRAIN but this
would disappear.
To Orson, familiar with the disease. the
course to pursue was equally clear. He was
as safe in Orson's hands as in those of
pnysician-fever alone considered. But the
light showed Orsons face as haggard as
the mans own. The struggle had been
night-long. Remember Orson had but to
withhold his hand and all would again be
his.
An hour later and Orson had not moved.
There was voice at his shoulder, slowly
sCornful-
'1n the days when there were men. what
man wanted-he took!'
Orson got to this feet, facing the woman
who on that first day two weeks before
had turned over to him John Arkwrights
possessions.
The change in her was appalling. Her
fresh beauty had died. Save for the vari-
able lights in her eyes, life seemed to have
gone out of her, leaving her shrunken,
numbed. But as her glance rested upon
the scarab on Orsons finger, her old ami
ma ton returned and into her cheeks came
again the rich glow of youth.

Am l not needed?'

He shook his head slowly from side to
side.
Il thought not. Then you had better
take that haggard face of yours away to
rest. He is safe. What is it to me?''
And, though this was but the second time
he had seen the woman Orson felt that
there was little sublunary indeed for which
she cared. He rose. left the room and
threw himself upon his bed !,
Hours later, when he again appeared, she
would not go till he had sought his res
taurant and eaten. Then, Il will come to-
morrow-with the muezzin's call"
He thanked her, but protested.
She glanced again at the unconscious man
and asked suggestively:
do you wish, then, to get some one in to
care for him?'
There was no reply that could be made.

when 1t seemed impossible In January,

Willard and Don M. Dickinson got the Pres

The shock given by the cabled news had
not ceased to paralyze and numb. Orson
stood peering out into the gray dimness of
London; but his thoughts were among the
narrow streets, the white mosques and I'M
der the staring blue sky of Cairo. And just
then the last letter Arkwrlght had ever
written was put into his hand-the letter
of a man who had taken his own life.
1t read:
Before me is a vial of the ancient poison.
There! l have taken it. Queer the solu-
ton never came to me before. 1t came
just now-an inspiration. 1 have not slept
of life? What to do with the useless thing ?
Destroy 1t, of course. OF course!'
Orson dropped his hand. "Madi But
thank God that he was-when he did that"
He read on:
1.-The treasures of the old kings are all
yours. All! But let me whisper to you;
bend over. No. SSH There is Thya. Don t
tell her l was going to whisper that. Don t
l say. God! 1 tell you, don't!
And the Ptah-Hotep scarabeus. Do you
remember how ii glowed and gurgeoned;
how the little fires of hell seemed licking
up in it? That is here, too.
ASK Thya. She will give you all-at the
old stand. But you must come and get
them. You will not get them else. 1 have
told her of you. She will know.
But listen Maybe you'd better sink
them in the Nile No! Ye gods of Egypt,
sink them. No, l say"
The writing trailed off illegibly into moth
fnguess. Orson stood thinking. The warn
ing was plain before him; but-OTson was
passenger on the next p. and o. steamer.

1t was a fortnight later. A strange rest
lessness had taken hold of Orson. Fresh
from the encounter on the desert he sat
with his comrades in Julians cafe Cath
cart was speaking.
"And Orson here, with his blond aureole
and angel blue eyes"-Cathcart laughed
1.-THE devils got him, too. You should have
seen him handle the Arabs that got after
the stuff"
And I've seen him shift his step so he
wouldn't crush a cricket" put In Zavakos.
Orson flushed uneasly. They were not
crickets."
Cathcart persisted. mo more than you
are the old Orson" He turned again TO
Zavakos 1T wasn't-the doing--he was as
quiet as a scythe moving grass, but'-he
laughed again-"Orson, all hell looked out
of your eyes"
drop it!'
At the note in Orson's voice the two men
looked at each other. But Orson was al
ready talking as before.
Zavakos bent across the table that he
might hear-for the air was full of the
clanking glasses, clamoring voices, the
