Two Scapegraces

[Originall
There Is no other such frisky animal
as a nidshipman in the navy-that is,
where the mIdshipman is ashore on
leave. Possibly now TINT war vessels
have changed from light wooden struc-
lures, riding the waves with white
wings like bird, to a machine shop

may have been knocked out of the
middies, but fifty years ago, when the
United States frigate Honcybee sailed
into Havana harbor, she had as roll
licking a lot of Juniors as ever were
got together in fighting ship.
Bob Merrett and Ned Perry, both
midshipmen, could get into more mis-
chief In one day ashore than the rest
OF the officers would meet in a month.
No sooner had the Honeybee dropped
her anchor than both lads applied for
leave to 20 ashore.
"You can go. said their commander,
"but remember that these Spaniards
are q hot, jealous lot, and II you're not
careful you'll be brought back with a
machete sticking in you"
The Injunction was unheeded. The
middies weit into Havana hired a
vehicle for drive and, passing the
plantation OF Don Antonio Gordon,
espied Donna Ysabel CORDOBA, bis
daughter, aged fifteen. playing under
the palms at some distance from the
house.
Now, what followed would have

was the fact that theS agreed to a

The next day. both middies having
obtained shore leave, Ned went on
ahead, agreeing to have the girl at the
trysting place, though the hour must
necessarily be indennlte. Bob waited
impatiently in Havana till he could
wait no longer. then went to the vii
lage and took seat In the public
square.
After waiting an hour 1t occurred to
him that possibly IL Ned had been sue

not find II quite safe to rendezvous Ia

be hiding in some or the houses.
Knocking at several OF the doors,
