Lieutenant Phillips, U. 8. 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.
Beforo he aft tied down to sleep lie
released from the ventilated box a

was an unpleasant eye watching Dim
through l^ie oi>en space left by the lift'
ing of the back flap of tlic teat. The
I eye was In the head of the man whom
the lieutenant had given evidence
against that morning. Imlgi Aramado
1 had escaped. Below the eye, hut wholl
ly hidden In the bush, there were two
( hands, nnd In one of theni there -was a
knife. The man was waiting until the
' lieutenant should full asleep.
I The tent's flaps moved lazily In the
sleepy breeze. Now nnd then one of
the little lizards made n lightning dart,
and a fly had perished. The lfentenant

I' should be when noon approaches In tho
tropics.
Still the figure crouched, watchful
, and silent. At length the man crept
forward' till he was full In the tent;
then he stopped niul drew from his
blouse a tiny vial. lie was near
, enough to have used the knife, but he
evidently had other purposes. Terhaps
be wished to gloat over his victim before
the blow fell. Ills glnnce had
, fallen upon the brazier and the branding
Irons.
Slowly and noiselessly he rose to his
feet. It was a mistake, for It startled
the lizards. Disobeying their training,
they .scampered over the face of the
,, sleeper.
, It half woke ldin, and he looked op
lazily, but before he could more than
, catch a glimpse of the evil eyes and
. gleaming blade, before be could halloo
I for help, the man tlung himself upon
him nnd in the lieutenant's nostrils
i entered the deadly fumes of chloroform.
Then he lost consciousness,
i The Italian raised himself cautiously?the
stupor might be feigned. But
a moment's scrutiny relieved his fears
In a twinkling he had bound the lieu
tenant hand nnd foot nnd thrust a gag
into his moutli.
i "Killing wouldn't be enough," the
desperado muttered fiercely. "I'll mark
[ him for life, so I will."
The lizards meanwhile had darted up
i qrj the canvas of the tent. They had
floqo all that they conld in waking the
r lieutenant. They could not fight for
him,
\ And while the lizards watched with
their l>eudy eyes the intruder thrust
r Jie irons .into the brazier. The lieutenant'*
eyes were open now, for the
force of the opiate was spent. The desperado
turned and caught their un.
daunted glance.
i "Pig of a lieutenant!" he said vlclous|
ly. ""It Is now I who have the power.
. | I will wait until the Irons heat, then
, 1 we shall see what we shall see." And
he kicked the helpless figure before he
turned again to the brazier.
As he watched the metal turn /rem
i .black to gray and flush Into redness, a
[ cruel smile disclosed his fnnglikc teeth.
[ " 'TIs most ready, my lieutenant," he
snld tnunt^ngly.
Noiselessly the tent flap swayed, as If
i moved by a gentle breeze. The man's
. back was turned. He was. too intent
on the brazier to see a slight figure
f which slipped through the aperture.

J The girl's eyes dilated with horror
as sho glanced from the bound lieutenant
to the deadly preparations of his
enemy, 'then with u little movement
she snatched the pistol which lay on
the table. At the sound the man at
the brazier turned nnd found himself
looking Into the barrel held in her
steady hands. He wns a coward, and
he quailed ibefore her.
"Take those ropes off," she snld imperiously
In tier musical Spanish,
pointing to the lieutenant's bonds. "If
you do not I tvjll shoot you."
There was a tfemor In her voice, but
. her eyes wero unflinching,
The lieutenant watched her, fascinated.
Iler husband, sullenly accepting
I defeat, began to untie the knots. At
length the captive wns released and
the two stood silently before her. Both
seemed overawed by the beauty nnd
fearlessness of the woman.
| Still pointing with her pistol, she
I cried:
"Now, go?-go?go, Lulgl, and never
come back again." Without a word
the desperado obeyed.
When the tent flap fell behind him
* fhe pistol dropped from her trembling
r flngers and she leaned against the table
s as If for support.
- : "Was It wrong to let hlui go?" she
1 said nppealingly. "You would have

(Hood talking is largely dependent on
"good hearing." The fact that a man
Is aide to do his mental powers the Justice
of brilliant expression may be due
to the presence of some receptive mind
ready to invite and appreciate. Wits
may clash to the point of deafening
1 themselves. The sympathetic and silent
listener is the buffer between.
Ituskin is said to have been excellent
company, lie spoke in a tone of "gentle
and playful earnestness." lie had
floods of thought and knowledge to
pour forth, if only lie could get the
right hearers. But there were the barren
occasions when listeners werd absent.
1 One day a friend gave a little dinner
for him, I>r. Jowett and Dean Stanley.
But no sooner had the dinner begun
than the liost realized his mistake. He
lind provided no setting for his Jewels,
no Junior men as hearers. "They
wanted to meet one another," be said.
"It should have gone off brilliantly,
but the soup came and the lisli followed
and they simply would not talk. At
last I said some stupid thing to Stanley
about the architecture of Westminster
abbey, and that drew Buskin

well. I?ut I shall never make the =

authentic Saxon coin that can be
traced with certainty to the Koudon
d mint. Athclatan, about l)2S, was the
first British king to enact regulations
y for the government of the mint, but
s. the coinage was debased by the mint1j
ers during the several reigns following.
>e To such an extent was this fraud curt.

u dealers in the markets refused to ac]
cc"pt current money, and when the king
I summoned the minters to appear at

Iknry I. is said to have instl s
