During Williams career a paymaster, the
troops were paid every 60 days, and the sum
OF his actual duties comprised possibly four
five short railroad trips, or at worst, few
stage trips, taking up about five days Of every
two months. He was Williams" to all his
equals and superiors In rank, and Major" to
all his juniors, and he was an honored guest
at every army social affair
Private Williams, Third cavalry, Fort Myer

jor and he walked post together at West

mate friends. In the army 1t is possible that
they messed together Private Williams

in the salute which every inferior must pay
to his superior In rank. The salute is returned
formally and Private Williams and the major
have passed each other as If they never met
before. and had never heard Of each other.
Private Williams, in attending stable call,
groomed his horse under the eye Of a second
lieutenant who was unborn when Williams
wore the shoulder straps of engineer Off
GER. It may be that the STRIPPING soldier,
meanly inclined, some day may have spoken
harshly to the veteran. BY going back into
the ranks for the express purpose of doing
what he could to redeem his past Williams
showed that he was one of the kind who will
suffer and make no sign.

Williams did not look in vain for sympathy

Private Williams club life of former years,
his short hours, and his luxurious living as a
staff officer gave place to a routine which in
cluded rising at six o'clock, breakfast of hash,
coffee and hard bread at G:30, and drill and
fatigue work for the rest OF the day There
was wood saving, rubbish raking and ditch
digging for Private Williams and It may be
that some of this work was done by Private
Williams within full range of the windows of
his majors quarters, where his menia toll
was seen by women with whom in the dead
years he danced or dined.
For IS years Williams career in civil life
had been above reproach. He had stood much
when, In certain places. the history of his
wrong-doing leaked out, but the hardest strug
gle of his life was to come. His squadron
went to the Philippine islands, and there, un.
der the eyes of scores of his old army chums.
Private Williams worked to win on the field
OF battle the credit which would restore him
to that place in mans ranks from which a
court martial OF his fellows once deposed him.

Fight Against Plague Goes On.

Although the survey of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country Indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976.-
500. In addition to these appropria-
tions over $4000,000 has been set
aside by the different state legisla-
lures for the campaign against tuber-
culosis this year. Besides these sums.

ing institutions and associations are

he had no use for the base son of an hon.

and for a while behaved himself fairly we'll
There were IL officers on the brig with crew
Of IL able seamen, and about 80 apprentice
boys. The Somers' destination was the Afri-
can coast, where 1t was to aid In the protec-
ton of American commerce. When 1t was
about half way across 1t was noticed that Spen-
Ger was hobnobbing with the crew; that he
was giving some of the men money, and 9TH
ers brandy and tobacco.
One night a seaman named Wales impaired
secretly to Mackenzie the details Of a plot con-
cocted by Spencer to murder all the officers
and to seize the brig for the purpose OF enter
ing upon career Of piracy. The story that
Wales told was so horrible in its outlines that
Capt. Mackenzie treated 1t at first with r1di-
cule, but the actions Of certain members or
the crew soon showed that there was some
thing in the wind The officers held a consul
tation and agreed that Spencer's arrest was
imperative The crew was assembled at even
ing quarters when the son of the secretary or
war was arrested. Upon his person was found
the details of the plan for killing the officers,
seizng the ship and the throwing overheard OF
the younger apprentices, whom the paper re-
ferred to as useless biscuit consumers" The
document was written entirely in Greek, Spen-
Ger being a classical scholar. Luckily there
was another officer on board who read the Ian
guege.
After the seizing of Spencer, many of the
crew became disobedient, sulen and mutinous
in action. Then Capt. Mackenzie ordered the
arrest of Small and Cromwell. After this the
sullen ones among the crew behaved worse
than ever. The officers held a consultation,
and it was agreed that unless. example were
set, the Somers would meet the fate Of the
Bounty They signed recommendation that
the three ringleaders be hanged at the yard
arm. The three culprits were strung up, Spen-
Ger and Small confessing their guilt. and say
ing that they deserved their fate. When the
Soiners reached New York, Capt. Mackenzie
communicated with the navy department. A
court of inquiry was ordered and he
cleared of any blame. In spite Of this fact, his
chief, the secretary of the navy, ordered his
arrest on the charge of murder. He was tried
and acquitted by board Of officers, and Presi-
dent Tyler approved the verdict.

1t is especially the food to make a

appetite for dinner.

:amples" set by commanding officers In the
field who constituted themselves the last re-
viewing authority, was that Of quarter-breed
Seminole Indian who, enlisting in the United
States army, endeavored to betray the brave
little band Of Maj. Dade to the hostile reds In
the everglades of Florida The story OF this
execution and Of the circumstances leading to
it is but little more to-day than an army tradi-
tion the whole thing being involved in much
mystery. Not long after the shooting of the
quarter-breed, Dades entire command was an
initiated by the Seminoles.
Almost the only thing on public view to-day
which recalls that tragedy Of the swamps, is
a plain white marble shaft, which rises at
West Point not far from Koscusko's garden
to commemorate the death Of Dade and of his
800 intrepid followers
Osceola, the chief of the Seminoles, saw
number of his subordinate leaders sign a trea
ty with the whites, by which the Indians land
was to be given up. Osceola, asked to sign the
paper, stepped forward. drew his hunting
knife and stuck its blade through the docu-
ment and deep into the desk upon which 1t
lay. There Is my signature" he said, and
strobe from the room. From that instant war
was on. One Of the witnesses Of this fearless
act was the soldier whose blood was one-quar-
ter Indian. 1t stirred in him admiration
for Osceola that made him swear to himself
later to aid the Indian chiefs cause.
A familiarity with the country on the part
of the auarterbreed led Dade to select him as
guide The soldier led the command straight
to an ambush, which was discovered by for
tunate circumstance, just in time to save the
command from the annihilation which, how
ever came later There was drumhead court
martial The guide was sentenced to be shot

removed from his person all signs of the uni

quarter red, sang the death song Of the Sem
