II. 8utcllfte.J During llm Cuban revolution tbo American ship Curlew, carrying arms and animuDltlon to tbo Cubans, bad among tbo crew a abangbaled man an tered by tbe name of Jonea. He bad been a tramp along tbo water front He bad conversed wltb tailors, no knew all about first mate and second mate. To bavo "back talked" would bavt been to aollclt a broken bead. Tb part of wladom waa to aaw Wood and aay nothing until tbe steamer ran into Key West or aome otber port and tnen aeek to make ble escape. She ran down to tbe port named with the tramp keeping quiet, but doing a great deal of thinking. He wanted to take care of Jonea and get back to New York with out any acara to boatt of. Tbo tramp't plan to desert tbe steam er didn't pan out Men were stationed at the gaugwaya to watch. Tbe cargo of "aowlug machine,1 aa the box were marked, came aboard through tbe effort of atrange men, and when duly stored away under the hatches tbe Curlew put to sea. As she left tbe har bor a revenue cutter sent In search of bcr entered It. It was a bright clear morning, but the cnptaln of the cutter dlilu't see her. Even when ble atten tlon waa called to her name ho screwed up hit eyes and winked and blinked and read bcr name backward and aald be had never beard of such a craft aa the Welruc. Jones bud txeu patient and bopoful. Now be was mnd and desperate. The others might run their beada Into tbe Ilou't Jaw if they would, but their death would not mat ter to the 80,000,000 of Amerlennt left behind. At for him, be wanted to live on. Aa a tramp he wns expected to live on. He bad alms and ambitions to be carried out before being hanged or shot He therefore Informed the second mate that ho had objections to filibus tering and demanded that tbe steamer at once be headed back. In return he was knocked down and Jumped on. For the next three days, while the Curlew wasisnoaklng bor way across the gulf and keeping an eye open for Spanish gunboats, all the officer and moat of the crew made a football of Tramp Jones. Every few mtnutea he waa knocked down or kicked or cuffed. At least once on hour be engaged in a light In which be waa Invariably worst ed. They tried to batter the life out of him, but only Succeeded in making him the madder. He bad Just been kicked for the five hundredth time since leering Key West when the tun went down, the tropical darkness de scended, and with It came a fog thick enough to be cut with a knife. The steamer had been crawling along the Cuban, abore to hit the rendexrous. In a bay not two miles away when tbe fog came down was a gunboat in ambush. She beard ' enough to be ture that a smuggler was at hand, but when the crept out of the bey the lookouts might as well have been blind men.- She drifted and the smuggler drifted, and by and by they were with in a quarter of a mile of each otber. Tbe Spaniards gave themselves away by their voices. The crew of the Cur lew were as whist as mice. Orders were Issued to brain any man who apoke above a whisper. For fifteen minutes there wat the silence of death aboard. Then the gunboat began firing into tbe fog at random. She fired shells that went acrenmlng Into epa.ee; in g way to make tiio hair stand upTBbefired solid shot that wulwed and groaned and bunted for something to mash, the flrod grapethot that came aboard and struck down four trembling men A shot tors through tbe pilot bouse. A sbell made matebwood of a boat hang ing at tbe davit. Tbe Spaniards didn't anow mat they were bitting anything, wt n was a good time to practice. There were brave men aboard the filibuster, but tbe firing drove them to cover, and they crouched and trem mea iiko cnuarea. Biie wo under a hipbaxard Are for half an bom, hav lng four men killed and six wounded, and then tbe Bpantnrde attested beck into the bey and dropped anchor, f be bad blown tbe United Mates sky high, and ber commander patted himself on tbe back. When the firing ceased Tramp Jones looked around to And himself tbe only- man on deck. He bad been kicked so often that be no longer flt fear. He realized that now was the time for the steamer to es cape, snd he went man bunting. He found tbe engineers and firemen in hiding In tbe coat bunkers. '1 He barfed them forth and kicked them to their posts. He found captain and mates biding in their staterooms, He swore at them. He cuffed tbem. He gave them the boot Ho played basket ball with their carcasses until be had driven them to tbelr stations. He found th i-Aiintohnut Inrklnc and Shivering nnd wondering why tenth Ungated, and he tired his arms with cuffing and his legs with kicking.' It was he who gave the order for the-en- glues to back. It was be who gave a course out to sea. It was he who held tbo whole outfit np to tbe mark for three long hours, or until the Curlew finally crept Into tbe rendezvous. ! Tbeq there was an awakening, on tbe part of captain, mates and craw. They shook off their fear and swarmed for Tramp June. He bad humiliat ed tbem. no had taken command. He bud made them look like 18 cents. Tbo tramp seized a handspike and fought nobly, but when bo saw that thnv wai- fiwh ttuih f,ti hfm ha thrAw down 1)1 wenmrti. leaped overboard 00 Qvnw" uud swam through the sharks to tbe Hhorc. . Im It the captain that Is?", inquired the Cuban general as th tramp reach ed tbo beach. "Oh, no, my friend," was the reply, It Is tbo captain that was. I have re signed my poHltlon." ii. QUAD.
