“Not after that." said Mark, WinC

And he wondered what had made

hardly reached his own conscious

IJeutennnt Mark Wallace of the
Seventieth Now York regiment came
to an abrupt standstill. He was alone
in the Jungle, upon the blitzing hillside
before Santiago, in the mouth of June,
1898.
Through the branches of the trees
the Mauser bullets still whipped aud
whistled, and the prolonged screech of
shells and distant shouting indicated
that the battle, which had raged all
day, had not yet reached Its ehd. But
within the short radius of Wallace’s
vision nothing stirred, not even the
palmetto boughs that rustled with the
least breeze like the sound of the sea.
Wallace had only the most confused
and incoherent knowledge of whut was
happening on thnt historic day. There
had been an ndvnnce in the cool of the
morning, if a brief respite from the op
pressive heat could be culled coolness
in contrast. Then came the deploy

first shells began to full, the advance

and stricken, the shouts, the ruttle of
machine guns and rides. Batteries
came galloping where they had no
theoretical business to be, upsetting
the junior officers’ desperate attempts
to preserve alignment; Red Cross
men invaded the battle line to succor
the wounded; commissariat mules,
shaking otT the lethargy which no
amount of belaboring hud ever over
come, ran away with supplies and
strewed embalmed beef over the hill
side. In the midst of it all Wallace
hud rallied some men of his own troop
and led them forwurd; he plunged Into j
the pntchof serub-eovered Jungle, and I
found that he was alone.
In front of him was a small clearing,
made by some Cuban squatter in the
preceding year and abandoned after
the reaping. It contained the ruin of
a palm shuck, and the furrows scraped
by a primitive plow were only Just dis
cernible amid the rank growth that
hud sprung up. The lleutennnt stop-
lied and shouted, expecting to see his
men come running through the trees.

He rubbed Ills eyes, expecting her to
disappear. But she was still there, and
Just as he was beginning to piece to
gether a Spanish phrase she spoke to
him in English.
"I want my daddy."
Wallace reached oat and drew the
child toward him. “Where is your
daddy?" he asked. "And who are
you?”
‘Tm Eleanor," she answered, "and
won't you plenSe find my daddy for
me?”
She pointed with a grimy little liund
toward the interior of the shack, anil
that way. Hum] You'll be running
round in a couple of weeks, as well ns
ever.”
“Thank heaven for that !" ejaculated
Mark fervently. “Then I'll he In at
(he death."
"I doubt it, I won't pass you for
duty for six months to come," said the
doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Mark's
dejected look, he added, more seri
ously;
“You may thank the modern high-
power bullet thnt you are going to keep

some sticky stuff over the wound and
began adjusting u hnnduge, “except tie

“The devil you will! I guess I’m
