American Victory in War Of 1912.


One hundred years ago occurred the
battle Of the barges," between force
of English from the blockading squad
ron in Chesapeake bay and fotilia of
barges and gunboats designed to aid
in the defense Of the city of Wash
ington. Commodore Barney, in COM
mand of the American fotilla, being
threatened with attack by several
large British warships, had taken his
boats up the Patuxent river and found
a refuge In st. Leonard,s creek. The
British followed with superior force
of barges and small schooners. Hav-
ing no guns with which to wage
fight at long range Commodore Bar
ney dashed forward into the midst OF
the enemy. Soon the barges were en-
gagged in desperate hand-to-hand con-
f1icts. For more than an hour the ac-
ton ragged, both sides fighting with
vigor and gallantry. But the Amer&
cans having pierced the British line,
the enemy abandoned the fight and
fed precipitately to their ships.

CHAPTER XIV.


Though the times had turned to war,
all nature that morning was at peace,
and they rode through valley OF how-
ers like knight and lady in q pageant.
The rich grass rose knee-deep along
the hillsides, the desert trees were
flligreed with the tenderest green and
twined with morning glories, and in
open giades the peoples and sand
verbenas spread forth masses OF blue
and gold.
Already on the mesQuit-trees the
hooking birds were singing, and bright
flashes Of tropical color showed where
cardinal and yellow-throat passed. The
dew was still untouched upon the
grass, and yet they hurried on, for
some premonition whispered to them

BURIAL PLACE OF KING JOHN
Writer Declares Interment Of Famous
English Monarch Took Place
at Worcester.

In the American Law Review there
appeared an article in which the
writer made an allusion to King John
Of England, and said he went ito his
unlamented rest at st. Wolstan s. !"
Now, is this correct? King John was
buried at Worcester and in the ca
thedral there, and his body has slept
in that spot until now, unless, like a
streak OF morning cloud, it has melted
into the infinite azure OF the past. In
1897, for the purpose Of identifying
the resting place Of the king and his
remains, committee of citizens was
appointed to investigate this matter.
The body was identified and all that
remained of it placed in a new maui
soleum, where 1t stands today as one
of the objects of interest in Worces-
ter cathedral Shakespeare, in his
king john" puts in the mouth of
Prince Henry the following words:
"At Worcester must his body be in
tered, for so he willed it." Thus we
see King John was buried in Worces-
ter cathedral. and it is therefore mac
curate to say he was buried at st. VOL
STAINS. The memory of King John is
not cherished with the feeling that has
followed the lives and deaths of some
Of England's sovereigns, and he will
be remembered only as the monarch
from whom was extorted the great
charter of English liberty, from which
this country has received a large part
of it's valued inheritance Letter to
st. Louis Dispatch.

the far pass.
Beyond that lay comparative safety
but no man knew what dangers lurked
between them and that cleft in the
mountains. Del Rey and his rurales
or Bravo and his rebels might be

barred their way in the night; across
the valley the flat-topped FORTUNES
threw their bulwark against the dawn;
and all behind was broken hills and
gulches, any one of which might give
up armed men. Far ahead, like a
knife-gash between the ridges, lay the
pass to the northern plains, and as
their trail swung out into the open
they put spurs to their horses and
galloped.
Once through that gap, the upper
country would lie before them and
they could pick and choose. Now they
must depend upon speed and the
chance that their way was not blocked.
Somewhere in those hills to the east
Bernardo Bravo and his men were
hidden. Or perhaps they were scat
tered, turned by their one defeat into
rowing bandits or vengeful partizans,
laying waste the Sonoran ranches as
they fought their way back to Chihua-
hua. There were a hundred evil
chances that might befall the fugitives.

Hooker pretended not to hear. In
stead, he cooked his eye up at the
eastern mountain, whence from time
to time came mufied rife-shots, and
turned his horse to go. There was
trouble over there to the east some
where Alvarez and his Yaquis, still
marrying the retreating rebels-and
some Of it might come their way.
With Rel Rey behind them, even
though in sight, he was the least of
their troubles, and could be easily

could not distance him. Hooker knew

The United States Army officers were
repulsed with heavy losses in their at
tacks on the blue TIDpons. With the
exception of the events closed to the
military, Uncle Sans representatives
not only failed to win, but in the ma
jority of cases failed to survive the
preliminary judging. They were gen.
orally the first to "get the gate" Not
only did the civilians have the better
mounts, but they handled them with
greater skill.
Half dozen cavalry chargers were
entered in Glass 116, for jumpers, open
| to all, to carry a minimum weight of
140 pounds. Not one managed to catch
the eye of the judges. Failing in that,
however, they drew the attention of
the railbirds, who laughed satirically
as one after another left the arena by
request. There was Sophomore, a bay
gelding, owned by Lieutenant F. c. Wal
lace, Sd Field Artillery. Sophomore
was about the naugntiest little under
cavorted, he galloped and snorted, but
nary a jump did ne jump. Finally he
was sent out under sealed orders.
He was no worse than Thorpe, n
beautiful chestnut, owned by Lieutenant
Ratzkoff. Thorpe refused to do any
thing but buck, jump and prance. His
rider displayed all his horsemanship
and earned the high regard of the
spectators, but regard and ribbons are
two distinct things. Thorpe refused to
jump and was ordered out. Secuga was
fair horse, which jumped cleverly,
but the rider failed to cover himself
with any glory, and Gunga Din, owned
by Lieutenant Carter, admitted that
there were better horses than he.,
Ceur dc Lion, spanking big chest
nut, owned by Lieutenant Charles Wal
ker Stewart, 9Th Cavalry. saved the day
for the service in measure. He
struggled home in fourth place in the
class for hunters not over six years
of age and up to carrying $50 pounds
to hounds. Ceur de Lion was not
without honor even in defeat, for Jeb
Stuart, Ragtime and Ballyraggat, which
finished ahead Of him as named, are
horses of the thoroughbred type mad

The self-appointed judges were
somewhat shocked when Billy McKin-
ney, q handsome black stallion, was
unplaced in the class for novice road
sters. This horse, which is of the old
Mckinney stock, is true gated trot-
ter, one of that type with which every
move is a picture. He won instant
recognition as he minced about the
arena, and murmur of surprise arose
when the coveted blue was pinned to
the headstall of Ashlander, Oscar See
ley's good looking bay gelding. An
other good looking horse which failed
to satisfy the judges in this class was

in the centre of the town are from one

cation with the mainland is maintained
only by the steam lines. Suburban and
fast shore line trolleys have been

Longport has suffered more than the
