V., had been Inspecting government property out in the corral, but the heat had driven him Into his tent, which Was pitched Just on the edge of a coffee plantation. It was at the time when our government was withdrawing from Forto Rico the vast number of horses, army wagons and other transportation paraphernalia which had been neocdniry during the war. Inspection duty Is only given to men who are thoroughly trustworthy. Especially Is this true In Forto Rico. There were large quantities of government property there after the surrender, most of It In good condition. The planters thereabouts, who bad lost a season's crops through the war, wore anxious to cheaply reequip their plantations with wagons, horses and mules. It was because the honest gentlemen had n tendency to offer "Inducements" to Inspecting officers to condemn good property, which the planters could afterward buy for a ovii^ ni uiv amuuii, nun t"9|n'iii(i euro wns used in the "Selection of In. spertipg officers. Lieutenant fhllHpt was one of the elect. On such government property as Is condemned the "I. C." brand is plnccd. "I. C." means inspected and condemned. It is not wise for a civilian to have in his iK>ssessinn any property which bears the mark "U. S." and does not also bear the mark "I. C." Both ore tencilcd in black paint on tcntage canvas, blankets and such like, turned into the bodies of wagons and other WQodep articles nnd branded pp flanks of fiorscs and unties. Lieutenant Phillips kept the irons In fllspwn possession for fentthey might pe usotl unscrupulously, fie carried them, with their brazier still linlf full Of hot Foals, td the rear of his tepf so that what little breeze thero was would blow the heat away from him. Then he removed his heavier garments. It hall been a hurd day for tl?e lleutennnt. ' Early In the morning he had been chief witness nt a court martial which had convicted an American soldier of having cruelly treated his wife, a beautiful Porto Rlcau girl. The accused, I.uigi Aramndo, was a swarthy fellow of Italian parentage. Lieutenant Phillies remembered with discomfort Hie fierec look the man hod thrown at him as, handcuffed, he had been led away to the guardhouse. But, although the lieutenant had the pink cheeks of n girl and never a. suspicion of a mustache upon his upper lip, he hnd a reputntlpn for fearlessness.

At length the captive wns released and the two stood silently before her.
