AN EPISODE OF WAR.
Tho Only Coward Evans Ever Saw In
the Naval Service.

| After Admiral Evans had been so
grievously wounded In the attack OIL
Fort Fisher during the civil war he
was picked up by marine named
| Wasmouth and carried into eompara-
tive shelter. Wasmouth was killed a
few minutes later. Evans own ac-
count continues: After Wasmouth
was killed | soon fell asleep. and when
| awoke 1t was some time before
could recall my surroundings. The
| tide had come in and the hole In
which | was lying was nearly full Of
water. which had about covered me
and was trckling into my ears.

my legs In any way. and when | dug
my hands into the sides of my prison

water. Finally | made strong effort
and rolled myself sideways out of the
hole.

short distance away nicely covered by

ately at the fort. called to him to
pull me In behind his bar Of sand. but
he declined on the ground that the fire
was too sharp for him to expose him

volver to change his mind. and In two
seconds he had me in place of safe

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS.
Fall of q Dusky Beauty From the
South Sea Islands.

One night John Sharp Williams.
while student at Heidelberg, Ger

function ut which the guest of honor
was dark skinned princess alleged
to hail from one of the south sea Is
lands. This princess was magnificent.
ly bedecked and bejewelcd. and her
warm olive complexion. set of by a
mass of black. kinky hair, full red
lips. snow white teeth and black,
sparkling eyes. made her the center
Of the function. The masculine-like
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around honeysuckle vine, and even
Dutch femininity could not discount
the charm of her manner or the beauty
of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, Of
course. and Immediately upon obtain
Ing near view Of the princess q his
southern instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boil
Watching his opportunity he aged
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, re-
ducing his voice to low. but perfect
ly audible key. he sent into her star
tied ears this alarming query:
Look here. Niger. where did you
come from?'
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin-
cess turned upon her interrogation as
she heard the familiar information Of
the southerner and looked into his un-
relenting face. Then she stammered:
Fun South Caroliny. boss. but for
de Lawd's sake don't tell It."
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea Of a southern negress in a
PARKWAY land and permitted her to
continue her bold imposition upon the
cresiulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
princess" realized that she was In the
presence Of one who from intimate
knowledge OF her race, had OWNED
her African origin. and she could only
throw herself on his mercy.-Biloxi
