THE LONELY SENTINEL.
Who Guards the Great Fortress of
Florida,
North American Review for September.
Off the coast of Florida, like tie dot to
an i, lie i the islattd of East Key, and con
nected with the island by a long causeway
is a giant fortress. This fortress, lying
midway as it does between Cuba and the
United States, commands, on the south, the
approach to the whole eastern seaboard.
This fortress, vast and stately, is garri
soned by one man. The utter loneliness of
Sergeant McKenna’s life 1 cun compare to
nothing but that of a state prisoner sen
tenced to solitary confinement.
Sergeant McKenna is both garrison and
commander rolled iuto one, and being a
soldier every inch of him, has a high sense
of his duties.
Therefore Sergeant McKenna tries to ful
fil, in his one person the duties of the mani
fold personages ho represents. Thus, he
keens guard, and when the usual four hours
are up, though completely exhausted, he
will “relieve” himself by a fresh guard
mount. To do the honors pf the garrison
to himself as commander-in-chief is diffi
cult, but at stated intervals he calls out the
guard to himself, and regularly on Sundays
he lias dress inspection of himself.
Evening parade, too. is seldom neglected,
but the crowning achievement of Sergeant
McKenna’s efforts appropriately to garri
son single-handed one of the greatest fort
resses of his country is, strange to say, ac
complished with his —foot.
Sergeant McKenna, by an ingenious ar
rangement of strings and pulleys, touched
at the proper moment by his foot, manages
to let off the sunset gun and to pull down
the standard, and this, too, without leaving
his beat as sentinel the while. To a casual
observer who notices tb is threefold perfor
mance, who sees the smoke circling upward
from one part of the fort, who sees the stately
stars and stripes descending the flagstaff in
another, and yet who notices toe soldierly
figure of the sentinel unconcernedly pacing
his beat on still a third part of the fortress,
nothing seems amiss. He would therefore
be ignorant at what terrible cost in time,
thought, and ingenuity this had been ac
complished. It is even stated that a mem
ber of congress once sailing by was struck
by the lavish extravagance of Uncle Sam
uel in maintaining a garrison at this dis
tant point, and on his return to Washington
demanded an investigation. A commission,
it is said, went down at $5,000 per year each
man, sat on Sergeant McKenna, and since
they could not very well cut him off, they
out off his powder.
From that day Sergeant McKenna’s
spirits began to flag. Sergeant McKenna,
though garrisoning the fortress, has always
boarded at Mrs. Ayres’. Mrs. Ayres lives
in the village of East Key, and the fcrtress,
as we know, is connected with the village
Dy a bridge. This bridge is some 600 feet
long, and when the tide is in the fortress is
an island. Now the boys of East Key,
quick to notice the changed demeanor of
the Sergeant, would wait at the town end
of the bridge to observe his comings and
goings to and from Mrs. Ayres’, and, as is
the wont of the boys, would chaff him,
shout at him, ask him how the garrison
was feeling, and how much Uncle Sam al
lowed for powder.
At first Sergeant McKenna treated these
taunts with the contempt they deserved; he
would unlock or relock, as the case might
be, the padlock of the wooden g'.ate of the
bridge, deposit the key of the fort in his
pocket, and go his way. But once when the
youths, thinking the garrison was absent,
scaled this wooden gate, and attempted
to carry the fortress by storm. Sergeant
McKenna unexpectedly sallied forth,
charged down upon them, and vowed he’d
fill them so full of shot that their mothers
wouldn’t know them. Then the boys’ feel
ings underwent a sudden change, and from
contempt, they began to feel respect for
the sergeant. As time went on, they eveu
got to lend him their assistance in cleaning
the guns, ana keeping up the appearance of
things generally about the fort, actually at
last depriving themselves of their tops and
marbles, as is the nature of boys, to pay for
the gun polish and blacking their country
was too poor to supply, as any late visitor
to East Key will testify. Nevertheless, in
SDite of these evidences of devotion, the
sergeant has been lately growing morose.
Though not an alarmist, he has begun to
feel it in hia bones that war is possible.
Each day, therefore, after returning from
Mrs. Ayres’, he sweeps the horizon with
his glass and watches for the enemy whose
coming he predicts.
Sergeant McKenna is not only losing his
spirits but is losing his flesh, and his bones
are the best indices left to him.
Yet smile as you may, there is something
grand in the spectacle of this poor old man
standing by tae government that has so
cruelly neglected him.
Tattered and torn, hungry and sorrow
ful, the butt of ridicule for all men—and yet
some $136,000,000 of surplus. The late pati io
tic demands on hispu-ket have made serious
inroads on his stomach, he pays half board,
and gets half fare at Mrs. Ayres’. A reef
in his belt for breakfast, a long walk for
dinner, and a sweep of the glass for supper,
will constitute before long his sole apology
for rations.
But there he stands, a monument to the
generosity of a great people, especially sug
gestive at this very moment when fortifi
cation bills and army bills have to struggle
so hard for mere consideration on the
floors of congress.
Yea, there stands the sergeant, and prob
ably t ere be will stand until he answers
“here” to the last roll call which summons
us all to that longer campaign.

New York, Sept. 22.wl was sitting in
the corridor of the KMserbof hotel one
night, iu Berlin, wfieo a i officer of the
guard de corps, with whom I was acquainted,
came in. He was commanding the escort
of a distinguished foreigner at Berlin, who
came to pay his respects to the
new emperor, Frederick. The
officer sat down on a bench beside me after
sending up his card, and, learning that the
ambassador was still in bed enjoying his aft
ernoon nap, we had a talk about court
matters in Germany. It was impossible to
hold a conversation of interest on any
other subject i-t the cu dtal at that time.
The win .la civilized world nad its ey -s c.m
tered on the capital of the German empire,
just as it is to day, and the English-speak
ing world was particularly interested in the
attitude of the crown price-—the present
emperor—toward the people of Great
Britain.
'"I, gH
HE HATES THE PEOPLE ACROSS THE CHAN
NEL, DOES HE NOT!
“He bates the people across the channel,
does he not*” I asked.
“Hate scarcely expresses his sentiments,”
said the captain, with a shrug. “It is cu
rious, in all the delving and investigating
of the newspaper correspondents that the
real reason has never been published of the
crown prince’s antipathy toward the En
glish. He is of a’ peculiarly revengeful and
resentful disposition, and nis dislike for his
mother’s people dates back from the very
moment of his birth. When it was learned
that the Empress Victoria was about
to give birth to a child and to the probable
heir to tiie throne of the German empire,
there was a great deal of excitement in
Berlin. The empress, as you probably
know, is a woman of very strong mind.
She is the oldest daughter of Queen Victo
ria of England, and, over there, she imbibed
all sorts of notions concerning the superior
ity of woman to mau, and the mission in
life of the queen’s daughter, and so on. The
result was that, at au early period of her
married life, the convinced Frederick that
she must have her own way at all hazards,
and, when she made up her mind on the
eve of the birth of her child that she must
have an English physician to attend her,
there was a great scurrying and rushing
around the palace. There were no eud of
skillful German surgeons, but it was rather
difficult then—nearly thirty years ago—to
And an English physician who was worthy
of the honor of attending the daughter-in
law of the emperor. At the last moment
an English physician was found and taken
to the palace. He was clumsy and excitr and.
The fact was, that when the child was born.it
was found that the surgical instruments had
crushed his left arm and hand. From the
very instant of his birth young Prince
William’s arm was withered. He grew
up a soldier in every fibre of his body—a
wonderful horsemau .skillful with his sword
and full of fire and dash. But eveu at the
outset of his career as an athlete and horse
man, he found himself handicapped by the
awful drawback of the withered arm. He
was obliged to eat with a queer sort of a
combination of knife and fork, which
could be held in one hand, and, for a long
while, it was impossible for him even to
hold the reins of his horse in his left hand.
By dint of continuous practice in develop
ing the muscles that were not withered, in
the hand and arm, he succeeded in acquir
ing the grip on the reins, and he has it to
this day. A species of blind and angry
rake possessed him that he—the prospective
heir of one of the greatest empires of the
world, descendant ot a line of kings extend
ing over 900 years and the possible future
master of Europe—should find himself crip
pled in the face of every worldly advantage
By degrees, this peculiar, sullen resentment,
for which he is notable, settled upon the
bungling physician who had caused him all
this trouble, and thence, by easy stages, he
grew to dislike not only the physician, but
also the people of his race, and this feeling
extended so far that William was actually
and pointedly antagonistic to his own
mother because she was English born.
Nothing on earth will ever convince him
that the English are not in some way re
sponsible for his withered arm.”
At this moment a lackey appeared at the
head of the stairs and bowed profoundly
to the officer. Thereupon he straightened
out his long and shapely limbs, pulled down
his coat, smoothed out his white kid gloves,
threw away his cigarette, and sent up
another card to the foreign minister.
“I am sorry I have to go,” he said amia
bly, “for l bad a piece of news for you.”
“Concerning the emporor?” 1 asked.
“Yes, in a measure; or, at least, concern
ing his favorite doctor. There was a scene
this morning, in the palace, lietween Mac
kenzie and the young crown prince, in which
his highness treated the English doctor with
marked and more than brutal severity.”
Again the lackey appeared at the head of
the stairs, and, with a hurried bow the offi
cer disappeared. I jumped into a cab and
went to see one of tbe secretaries of the Brit
ish legation, who usually knew a great deal
about court .’affairs. He wus exceedingly
cautious, however.
“I beard at dinner to-night," he said,
thoughtfully, “that there bad o<?eu a scene
between the English doctor and the crown
prince, but it was only referred to in a cas
ual way. I cannot substantiate it.”
soldiers were passing solemnly cp
AND DOWN.
A few days after this—when Frederick
had died, 1 rimy add here—Sir Morel Mac
kenzie was refused an audience by the young
emperor Ht the palace in Potsdam,
and hurried away to Ixmdon an hour
afterward. Opinions differed as to the
action of the emperor in this case. It was
not that he had not a perfect right to refuse
to see anybody, hut the fact that Sir Morel
Mackenzie bad been such a close and con
scientious pbysiean to Frederick in his last
illness certainly gave him some claims on
his successor. It was while I was investi
gating this rumor later on that 1 sub
stantiated the statement of the vourg
officer that Mackenzie ami the then Crown
Prince William had had a few sharp words,
even before Frederick 111. died.*
I went to one oi.ii-r legation that nir.ht
trying to substantiate the story, bui •> ith
out moons, and then, receiving a message
from a German journalist who whirled i v
in a cab on the Linden, that his majesty
was sinking rapidly I jumped into a cab
and hurried out to Chariotteubur g. It was
a five mile drive and the horse was slow.
Before we bad gone the distance the
rain began to pelt down heavily, and when
I arrived at the gloomy old castle, it was a
windswept and dismal sight. .Soldiers
were passing solemnly up and down in dif
ferent directions, and a knot of the anxious
subjects of the Kaiser were gathered near
the main entrance. At this point l discov
ered a doz-.-n or more newspaper correspond
ents of the London, Paris ami Vienna jour
nals, talking to the guards. Tluur fur
coats were wrapped closely around them
and they tried to shelter their heads from
the blast by a varied assortment of um
brellas. Tiie crack correspondents of the
world were there and in person too—for
there was no tune to send deputies, so
swiftly had the rumor swept through Ber
lin that the emperor's wearied and won:
struggle against’fate was comiug to a c o -e.
I knew it was hopeless trying to get any
new. from the crowd at the mam entrance
so I walked through the shrubbery and,
without saying a word to the guards, strode
swiftly through the side entrance to the
apartments formerly occupied by Queen
Victoria, of England, when she visited
Chariotteubunr. I w ore a heavy fur cloak
after the military pattern then in vogue,
belli my umbrella low and pushed ahead.
The guard saw me and pushed ahead, evi
dently under the impression that 1 was one
of the officers of the household, or other
wise attached to the palace, and, in this
wav', I succeeded in getting to the bnildi g
proper. Once there, 1 begun to realize that
I would be in rather an unfortunate posi
tion if I fell into the hands of an uily sol
dier, I ut 1 kept on wa king in u mo t busi
nesslike manner until 1 passed through the
court yard in the rear of the palace. 1 was
then quite 1 eyond the line of soldiers and
sheltered from the st Tin by the I eavy
arches over my head. I stopped for u mo
ment to rest, when a short, heavily-built
and coarse-featured servant do.lied out of
one of the neighboring doorways, hurried
through the lane, and brought up panting
by mv side. He looked at me ami muttered
a salutation in German. Th nhe started to
hurry on again, when his foot slipped on
the pavement, and he came down with a
smash ou all fours. At the same instant 1
heard him mutter in the most thoroughly
Anglo-Saxon of voices:
“Of all the nawsty nights, this ’ere is
about the wust.”
It was the first English I had heard any
where near the palace, and I jumped for
the man as a cat would for a mouse.
“Come here,” I said. “I want to talk to
you a moment.” He glanced hurriedly about
and said:
“Good gracious, sir, what are yon doing
here*"
“I came in out of the wet,” I said, fol
lowing his gaze, as he glanced shrewdly
about. “Is it against the rules?”
“Is it?” he asked aghast. “Well I should
rawther say it was."
I had a handful of coin in my pocket, and
I slipped it into his band.
“I want to talk to you a moment,” I raid,
“about a matter of importance.”
He glanced around again with the same
frightened air and then said in a low voice:
"Well, we must £et out of tho building,
or there is no telling what will happen.
Follow me at a short distance,” 1 e said, and
I will show you where we can talk.”
BRIBERY.
He hurried along the lee side of the pal
ace, opened a gate, and together we went
across a lane into an addition to the palace
which they were building beyond, and next
door to a public library. Here I learned
that he had been employed by the empress
when she was still Princess Royal of Great
Britain, thirty-two years ago, and that
ever since that time he had been attached
to her suite. I told him that the great North
American idea at that precise moment was to
find out whether the emperor was dyiug or
not, and that I would give him five pounds
if he would find out the exact facts for me
and come baek with them. He was gone
au hour, tut when he did return had the
most accurate and precise information im
aginable concerning his majesty’s c jndi
dition, and, from that time on, the English
servant of her majesty was a valneable source
of information for the American people.
Money will buy almost anything among
the attaches of a royal court. When I left
at last at 12 o’clock the rain han
turned to sleet, and all of the correspond
ents had gone to tbe guard house. They
were not admitted to the building, but they
were huddled under the piazza. I tent my
telegram and returned at 2 o’clock to tbe
palace to meet the English servant again
by appointment. I learned that the empe
ror had been exceedingly quiet and that alr
the excitement was the result of a canard.
At 2 o’clock, however, there were at least
8,000 people around the palace seeking some
confirmation of the report. It would have
been tbe easiest thing in the world for the
authorities to have sent out and quie' ed tbe
apprehension of the people, but they did
not do it. Their action in this respect was
on a par with all of their previous policy.
It was rather a gloomy night, but so are
all nights in Berlin at t hat time and partic
ularly among tbe cor resp indents. I re
turned to my hotel at .3 o’clock, but the
army of people still stood there. At short
intervals messengers were dispatched to
telegraph offices with dispatches inform
iug the world that the emperor was sinking
rapidly. I was the only man in the place
who knew tho exact facts, and I hod only
been able to obtain them through taking
a foolhardy risk and placing tuy confidence
in the word of a bribed and faithless servant.
A little more candor and truthfulness con
cerning the illness of the late emparor
would have made the nights in peril vastly
more comfortable to the majority of news

Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
and often leads to self-destruction. We
know of no remedy for dyspepsia more suc
cessful than Hood's Sarsaparilla. It acts
gently, yet surely and efficiently, t ines the
stomach and other organs, removes tha
faint feeling, creates a good apjwtite, cure
headache and refreshes tho burdened miud.
Give Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It
will do you good.
