How the Ugliest Man In the
Itegiinent Won a Husky
Beauty.
He was the ugliest man In the
S’teeuth infantry. And be looked it.
So the men called him Cross Dog, and
save on the pay rolls be knew’no other
name.
Cross Dog was in the prime* of life,
but looked older. He had put in about
12 years in the army and was at that
point in .* private soldier’s career where
be realizes that he has lost the knack
of earning a livelihood in civil life, bu f
still yearns for its freedom. For it is
only after about 13 years of service
and numerous failures at civil voca
tions that the average enlisted man
ceases to vow that lie will never take
on again and settles down to soldiering
for life.
Cross Dog’s temper was peppered
dynamite. lie had thrashed or been
thrashed by nine tenths of the regi
ment and was ready at a second’s no
tice to begin again. His tongue match
ed his temper, and his face was seamed
with surliness.
There was only one thing In the
world of which Cross Dob was afraid,
and that was woman. “Shure," said
I’rivate Sevenspot, “av Cross Dog Iver
loved a woman he’d be scared so he’d
cuss her to death and thin elope with
a recruiting sergeant.” Hack in the
States It had been a fortunate thing
for Cross Dog that he was not suscepti
ble to the charms of the fair sex, for
Ids personality was not an attractive
one and his conversation was a jumble
of cuss words and growls. But in the
Philippines the world is topside down,
as a Chinaman calls it, and curious
tilings happen. And it was in the Phil
ippines. at the Hacienda de Sevilla,
near Isabella, Negros, that Cross Dog
won a woman’s heart.
A company of the S’teenth iufautry
was stationed at Isabella, and a de
tachment of live men, in charge of Pri
vate Sevenspot, was sent to the hacien
da to protect property in that region
from the raids of Papircio bandits who
swarmed in the nearby mountains.
Cross Dog was one of the detachment.
The Hacienda de Sevilla consisted of a
big sugar mill, the blackened ruins of
the plantation house, burned to the
ground by the Paplrcios, and six native
nipa shacks scattered along the west
ern hank of the river Balinhagan. But
this little hamlet supported a popula
tion of 300 native amigos, most of
whom, (turned out of their homes by
the Paplrcios, camped in the big sugar
mill under the protection of Private
Seveuspot’s little detachment. Durlug
the day they worked in the caneflelds
and at night huddled together in the
mill, around which the six Americans
stood guard.
Luisa, the woman in the case, for
girls of 14 are women where the world
is topside down, lived in a six by six
nipa shack built In the box of a two
wheeled cart that stood beueath the
shelter of the sugar mill roof. On the
evening that Seveuspot’s detachment
arrived at the hacienda old Pedro was
absent. Old Pedro was Luisa’s father.
Ills crony, old Jose, In the next village
up the river, hud received a mouth’s
pay from Senor Holijos that day, and
Pedro hud gone to pass the evening
wijh him and help drink a bucket of
tuba. At 11 o'clock he came saunter
ing homeward with unsteady but cat
like steps in blissful Ignorance of the
fact that the Americanos were in pos-
sesslou of the sugar mill.
Pedro’s brown bide was chock of tu
ba, and Ids soul was filled with great
Joy. lu fact, he was so happy that he
yearned to butcher something, an old
woman or n baby or a lame dog. Aa
he came through the trail in the cane-
brake he slashed at the young stalks
and grimaced blissfully ns lu Imagina
tion he neatly clipped the leudc-iii of
unarmed foes with his bolo sword.
Cross Dog was on post, too, at the
upper entrance to the sugar mill. The
first night on guard at a strange post
with a small detachment and in a
country swarming with treacherous
foes Is a great trial to men’s nerves.
Especially so when It is next to hapos-
slble to distinguish friend from foe.
Moreover, Cross Dog had been unfor
tunate in Ids details for a week back
and bad been marched on an average
of 13 miles each day through muddy
rleeflelds. which Is eipjlvnlent to 40
miles a day on an American highway.
Coiisoquemly Cross Dog's temper, ttsu-
ally peppered dynamite, was now saw
edged lightning. Sevenspot had posted
him with <lie Information that native
amigos were not supposed to lie abroad
after it o'clock und left the rest to his
disc'Ttiou.
Cross I »og haeked with his bayonet
at lie dried mud on his leggings and
sia ‘ •I aero s the narrow clouting be
tween the mill and the euiiefiold, There
came ,|ii.-<t Hie semblance of a rustle
from the eaitebrakc, and Cross Dog
Ntopp d hacking and dropped suddenly
on one knee, for at night a man can see
butter mj unit lug than standing. The
nearer ms eyes to the ground the high
er and plainer objects are thrown up
against the horizon.
The rustle in the canefleld grew loud
er, and Cross Dog unlocked the safety
on his King. Then, oblivious of bis
danger, old Pedro stopped noiselessly
Into the clearing and the shadow of
death. Cross Dog waited for the sec
ond native to come out of the brake.
If he came lu the footsteps of his file
leader, one bullet would do duty for
two. And it is a pity to waste ammu
nition, nud a dirty rifle barrel makes
work. If old Jose had accompanied
old Pedro home that ulght, there would
have been two funeral drums to heat
next day. But as old Pedro came alone
Cross Dog hesitated a second and de
cided to give the Intruder a chance for
his life.
‘‘Halt!” he cried.
Old Pedro started and then In his
fright came on all the faster, his wick
ed looking bolo in baud. That was too
much for Cross Dog's temper and
nerves, but be was an American and
Instinctively bated to kill a half armed
creature whose life he could take as he
would snuff a candle. Moreover, he
had an American contempt for the
fighting qualities of these brown pyg
mies and the disposition to play cat
and mouse with them until they came
right up to the bayonet’s point. So
Cross Dog’s first shot made a kite of
old Pedro’s straw hat, his second spat
tered the mud *n front of him and
three more made shallow grooves in
his hare brown legs.
There was one cartridge left in Cross
Dog’s rifle when Pedro halted, panting,
at the bayonet’s point. An Inch more
and that cartridge w mid have been the
linal period in old Pedro’s book of life,
for Cross Dog was not only rattlesnake
mad, but also grossly insulted. A bare
legged Kakiack iu his shirttaii and a
straw hat and armed with a four span
bolo had dared to charge right up to
ids rifle’s mouth! Cross Dog felt that
he ought to kill this fool creature. It
was aceordiug to orders. But some
how he couldn’t quite do it. So he
Jabbed with ids bayonet through Pe
dro’s hide aud gave him a choice selec
tion of profanity and advice.
‘‘Blink blank (jab) you,” he exclaim
ed, “when Melicaua say halt, you (jab)
halt (jab). Savey? You bliuk blank,
caramha fool, if you (jab) keep va-
inoosin, blank you, when Melicana say
(jab) bait, Melicana boom-boom you,
blink blank you, blank quick! Blink
blank you (jab), when Melicana say
halt, you stop quick every blank tempo
till Melicana malayoh (sec) you witli
ids blanked mala (eyes) and taikee ah
kee (come here), blauk you! You (jab)
savey V”
Then old Pedro, after explanations,
was permitted to go to his nipa shack,
and the four Americans off guard re
turned to their blankets. After crawl
ing into his shack Pedro ordered his
daughter Luisa to make a light, and to
emphasize the order he beat her with
Ids fist iu the face. And Luisa, being
only a woman, made a great outcry.
Then she got a big bundle of split bam
boo and laid it upon the bed of coals in
the center of the mill and fanned the
bamboo into a great flaming torch.
Then old Pedro ordered her to dress
fils scratches and beat her In the face
to Insure obedience. The blaze of the
torch fell upon Cross Dog’s back so
that he was a fine mark for a Paplrcios
Remington and blinded his eyes so he
could not see five paces into the clear
ing. And Luisa’s outcries deafened
his ears to the secrets of the canefleld.
For these reasons, and not because he
cared to interfere with Pedro’s meth
ods of parental discipline, Cross Dog
deliberately violated regulations and
deserted his post.
He picked up a bundle of dry, split
bamboo and marched through the sug
ar mill to Pedro’s nipa shack. He
reached iu and caught that disciple of
Solomon by one ankle aud dragged him
forth after the fashion of a plantation
negro who knows where the chickens
roost. And Pedro howled, and Cross
Dog swore, aud 30 brown babies woke
up and squalled, aud a hundred mon
grel dogs barked.
“Shure,” said Sevenspot, reporting
the occurrence to his lieutenant, who
visited the hacienda the following day,
“when I woke up I thought I were lu
purgathory the day aftber the’ holo
caust av au insane asylum, a dog
pound an an orphan asylum. An Lu
isa there, th’ ould divil Pedro’s daugh
ter, sat by while Cross Dog larruped
her dad an wept tears av joy an grati
tude. I'm thiiikiu ’twere th’ first toime
she iver knew th’ ould baudit to get his
deserts. The other amigos say he has
a brotliei’ an two sons with the Papir-
eios iu tli’ mountains.”
“If that’s the case,” said the lieuten
ant, mounting his carabao, ‘‘you need
not bother to halt him the next time he
tries to come in after taps. I don’t
want tills detachment to get cut up out
of leuleucy to any native of doubtful
antecedents.”
When the detachment turned out for
their chicory the morning after old Pe
dro’s chastisement, Luisa was waiting
for them with a baking powder can
half full of carabao milk for Cross
Dog’s coffee. The men squatted on the
edge of a sugar vat and gnawed their
hard tack and drank their hitter chico
ry. Cross Dog’s scraggly beard bris
tled with bad temper, and he choked In
the effort to eat, drink and swear In
the same breath. With eyes that beam
ed with gratitude and admiration little
Luisa timidly preseuted her offcrlug of
carabao milk. Cross Dog glared at
her.
“Blink blank you,” bo growled,
“what the blink blank do you want?”
“81, senor,” said Luisa, ducking ob
sequiously and holding the can so that
Cross Dog could seu its contents.
“Mucha gooda!”
And Luisa pointed first at the ui, k
ami then to Cross Dog’s cup. Then
Cross Dog comprehended and grabbed
the can and emptied It into his coffee.
“I’ll he blink blanked,” he growled,
“if the blink blanked rag didn't bring
me some blink blank milk!”
Luisa listened like nn attentive pupil.
Then, with a knowing iiir, she nodded
her little head, and, pointing Into the
empty ciin, she said:
“8!, senor; I savey. Filipino, loob-
kat; Melicana, dam milk. Si, I savey
mucha Melicana poco tiempo.”
Cross I>og stopped ill the middle of a
guilt of coffee and stared at the little
brown woman.
“Well, PH be blink blanked,” be ex
claimed, “If the blink blanked nigger
ain't swearing at me In Kngllsh!”

Cross Dog choked with Irritation.
"Well. I’ll be blink blanked!” was all
he could say.
For a week thereafter Luisa followed
at Cross Dog’s beds like a faithful
dog, much to that Individual’s outspo- 1
ken disgust. And meanwhile Luisa’s
vocabulary of Kiiglisli became a tiling
of beauty aud a Joy forever to the sol
diers.
Then there came another Saturday
night. This time old Pedro aud Jose
went to a village down the river to
visit Juan, who had received much
money from Senor Hclijos. And they
tarried late and drank a great deal of
tuba and also beno. And the more
they drank the braver they grew, until
In the dark hour Just before the dawn
they laughed scornfully as they spoke
of the white faced Americanos aud
snapped their fingers at all “Haltas!”
Then Juan and Jose sallied forth to see
Pedro home and help him bid defiance
to the American “Halt!” And to in
sure success they carried their sharpest
bolos.
It was the early morning relief on
guard. Cross Dog was ou post 2, at
the down river end of the mill, aud It
always stirred his bile to have his sleep
broken Just before daylight The air
was chill and damp, aud Cross Dog
shivered and cursed all creation by
catalogue. Then he stopped aud lis
tened. The light breeze from the east
never caused that rustle iu the cane-
field. Agai«i Cross Dog crouched ou
one knee and threw the safety lock of
his Krag. A half naked native stepped
out into the clearing. Again Cross Dog
waited to see if lie came alone. An
other and another stepped out beside
the first, aud the three advanced
crouching, with bolos iu hand. They
mockingly echoed Cross Dog’s chal
lenge aud came on, aud then the haci
enda awoke to the music of “Wow-
rprp! Tick-tuck-tuck-tick! Wow-rprp!
Tick-tuck-tuck-tick! Wow-rprprp!” Aud
this time Cross Dog’s rifle had done its
deadly work, as three silent Kakiacks
lying there iu the gray morning testi
fied. Six men lu blue stood and looked
down at the slain. And then there
was a great uproar, and native men
chattered, and native women shrieked,
aud native dogs barked, and native ba
bies howled. Only the soldiers were
silent and grave as they looked upon
the dead, until a gray haired little
brown woman came and knelt beside
old Pedro and sought to close his eyes
aud compose his limbs. Then Cross
Dog’s eyes looked down to the ground,
and he was ashamed of his handiwork,
for the gray old woman was old Pe
dro’s wife and Luisa’s mother. It was
while his eyelids were weighted down
with shame and pity that little Luisa,
pretty aud coquettish, nestled up to his
side and caressed his hairy, freckled
fist and looked up at him with smiling
lips and yes moist with loveligbt.
Pressing ids hand over her heart
with both of hers, she said: “Me love
you mucha. You boom-boom madre
(pointing to her mother), aud we matri
mony. Esta?”
For in the outlying islands of the
Philippines, where the world is topside
down, the old folk pound out no rice
aud are the better for being killed.
It was thus that Cross Dog \Y0n one
woman’s heart. But Sevenspot’s proph
ecy came true, for he cursed her until
his throat was sore and then exchanged
with a soldier at Isabella to get out of
her sight. And now, when some young
soldier boasts of his success with the
fair sex, Cross Dog blurts scornfr.lly:
“Blink blank it! I can take my Krag
and 200 cartridges and go out and get
enough women to start a harem. All
you have to do to make ’em love you is
to kill their mothers and fathers, Llank
it!”—New York Sun.

“The ‘squeeze.’ ” says a correspond
ent of the Boston Transcript, writing
from China, "is a national institution
from which every one suffers or de
rives advantage, from the dowager em
press to the humblest gatekeeper. This
Is already well known everywhere.
There Is not a ‘privilege’ of any kind,
and privileges or concessions are as nu
merous here as at home, from which
the dowager empress does not benefit
financially.
“Every servant iu the palace, from
the highest to the lowest, wrings fees
out of those who must enter the For
bidden City, whatever their errand
may be. A high oflicial said reeeu ly
that it cost him as much as l.UOJ
ounces of silver to get access to the
palace, even when he had been sum
moned ou official business by the dow
ager empress herself.
“Chinese officials receive only nominal
salaries. The great LI Hung Chang,
when viceroy of China, the highest of
fice In the empire next to that of the
imperial ruler himself, received out of
the public treasury a sum equal to $80
in American currency per annum. He
has achieved a fortune of something
like $5,000.000—not $500,000,000, as has
been stated—and how he scraped this
together can better be imagined than
described.”
