Tha battle was over. Gone were
the two contending armies. The
battlefield that at set ot sun had
bean a wild tumult of roaring
guns and galling men, lag now in
in* moonlight ailant, save tor the
oaoaalonai groans of the dging
and the piteous plea for help or
for water. Presently a whippor-
will and than the frogs—In the
creak recovering from their fright
—began their evening ohorus.
Two young soldiers eat facing
eaeh other under a willow tree
near the stream. In the soft
moonlight It was hard to tell
Whioh wore the -blue and which
the gray, but the red lifeblood
stained the uniforms of both.
Theg were silent for a time, sup-
pressing the moans of pain, then
one said faintly:
"We will neither of us live to
see the sun rise."
"No," returned the other.
"You did pour work well," point-
ing to a ragged wound below the
heart, from which the blood was
ebbing 4
"No better than gou did
ours," answered the other, sad-
If, touching with his finger a
larger wound In hie breast.
A feeling of regret and pitg
stole over eaeh young face as
theg calmly gated at one another
to the dim light
in a tow murmur upon hie white
lips. With an agonising effort
heoiaepad the cold white hand
ot hie dging foe. A tender smile
of forgiveness was hie laet earth-
ly gift. The two who had fought
as mortal foaa were united in
death,
Tha short summer night melted
into dawn, The sun shone upon
the gloomy battle field; Its silence
was broken bg steps and voices
When they came to the willow
tree, there were exclamations of
surprise. Two young eoldiere lag
there dead, side bg aid*. One
wore the southern gray; the oth-
er the blue of the north, but their
faces were turned to eaoh other
—with a look of peao* upon
each, and their hands were tight-
ly clasped. •_ Bister.

A short time before the Span-
ish-American war, when times
were most turbulent on the Island
of Cuba, a thrilling as well as
dangerous experience befell Dr.
Richard 8. Martin, an American,
while special envoy from the
United States to Cuba.
At this time the Cuban patriots
were fighting manfully for their
freedom, for which they had been
struggling for many decades, given and an American citizen

At tha words the Cuban warm-
ly grasped the hand extended to-
ward him in friendship.

standing thus, there aroae, *• if

Amarioan oouid not tel), and
hamming them in on every side,
fulty a dozen uniformed men,
whom they knew at once to be
Spanish soldiers.
To say that they were both
■urprieed would be putting it
mildly. The Cuban drew back
with fear, and before the Ameri-
can could collect himealf enough
to put his surprise into words,
and without a word to either, the
squad officer gave the command:
"Ready!"
There wee a rattle of arms as
Spanish rifles came to position.
It was plain enough to the Amer-
ican—they were to be shot down
—both taken for Cuban patriots
in the dim light of the cavern.
It seemed hours to the occu-
pants of the cave, but in reality
it was only a few seconds, when
they heard the next command:
- “Aim!"
A dozen rifle barrels gleamed
in the moonlight. In an instant
more the last order would be
We all remember the many cru-
elties and horrible butcheries
perpetrated upon the brave and
oftimes defenseless Cubans by
the Spaniards.
No man’s life was safe—dan-
ger lurked everywhere, for the
Spaniard had a way of striking
in the dark.
While traveling in a part of the
island, acme distance from Ha-
vana, Dr. Martin, who Is now an

ewful mystery of death. They
thought of their far-away homes,
whkfh the Meek whig of bereave-
ment wee toon to overshadow.
One of them spoke In husky
"Somebody will mice us at
home."
A convulsion of pain passed
oter the dying soldier’s face.
"My mother," he moaned. "My
deer old mother in the old home
among the Vermont hills. 1 am
afraid H will kill her to hear of
this. Oh, for one sight of her
tweet face, one touch of her dear
hand upon mine tonight. God

"And upon mine," said the
southern soldier fee-Wy. "I have

Interesting features worth seeing.
And as the cave wee located at
no great distance from the vil-
lage, he decided to pay it a visit
before proceeding further on his
journey.
Late in the afternoon he se-
cured the services of a vallanta
driver to convey him to a point
near the cave.
It was nearing sunset when
they commenced the ascent of
the mountain. Riding as far as
it was possible in the convey-
ance, he alighted, and after get-
ting directions from the driver as
to the location of the cave, and
gaining hie promise to await his
return, he proceeded on foot the
remaining distance op the moun-
tain side until he reached the
cave.
As he stepped into the cave he
was startled by hearing the voice

Ob, God this cruel war f"
would have shed his life’s blood
on a foreign shore, and one more
Cuban patriot would have died a
martyr to his country’s cause.
As quick as a flash, the Ameri-
can remembered a small package
