A Submarine
By F. A. MITCHEL
There was n time when warfare, its ]
appurtenances. its novelties. Indeed, i
; everything pertaining to It, wns public
property. The Japanese changed-all j
, that, making everything secret. Since t
the Russo-Japanese light the war cor
respondent has had a hard time of it,
and many officers are pledged not ti»
reveal what occurs in the line of their
j duty. When I was assigned to the
command of a submarine I was obliged
| to make pledges that prevent my giv
I lng certain points connected with this
I story.
Before I was ordered to attempt to I
J blow up an enemy's ship 1 was given
time to get used to my submarine.
! This did not take long, though at tirst
I confess sinking down under water
made me creep a bit. When 1 had had
a couple of weeks of it 1 was ordered
on several attempts that were all fail
ures. The difficulty in handling a sub
marine is that when beneath the sur- j
face you can't see anything and when j
above it, if you are near an enemy's '
ship, you are liable to get knocked out I
by a shot.
I \v:is ordei>M ouo nrtcriioon to go
for a cruiser. The time I chose was
between daylight and dark, my object
being to steal upon her to within a
few hundred yards, get my beariugs.
duck, lessen the distance between me
and her and (ire my torpedo
| Tiie weather favored the attempt, it j
being a murky evening, with just
enough light for tue to see a big ship 5
and not enough for her t" see all of ,
my boat there was above water—the 1
periscope. I gave the order to lower I
the horizontal rudder, and we went j
down. intending to make a curve I
had figured out. coming up near the
cruiser amidships. Everything looked
well fur success, and. having complet
ed the first half of the arc. I gave the
order for a gradual elevation of the I
rudder.
What was my horror to find that uiy
1 boat did not obey it! 1 knew at once
! that my attempt would be a failure,
and I knew furthermore that I. my
| new and the submarine were in dan
I irer of going to the bottom and stay
i fug there. Unfortunately when I gave
J t!ie order to stop her. to keep from go
lug any lower, the engineer lost Ills
' hen 1 and. turning the wrong handle.
I put on power instead of taking it off.
' This gave us so much momentum that
before we could take any measures to t
| right our direction we were scraping
I liottom.
! There was nothing for it but to let
i the water out of the tanks in order to
I rise straight up to the surface. What
j I feared occurred. We were under so
j much pressure that the pump was not
• able to overcome it. This indicated
| another danger—if the pumps could
Ii not overcome the outride pressure we
would not be able to lift the cap of the
periscope, which in case we couldu't
get the boat to the surface meaut that
we would not be able to escape through
the conning tower.
f I sprang to the hand pump, i didn't
need to give an order to the crew, for
they knew as well as I that tills was
our only hope, and a very thin hope,
because It was hardly to he expected
that we could do what i. mechanical
force could not do. Knowing that our
tir»s duocudcd UDon our success, we
worked with tnat superhuman power
that is given to man when some great
object is to be achieved.
All in vain we worked I ill we found
that our efforts were growing less;
then one after another in quick succes
, sliui abandoned the effort.
Xot a man of us but saw certain
death ahead. We could not make the
• | rudder work, and neither of the pumps
j was suificleutly powerful to expel the
water from the tauks. The most fear
. I ftil part of it was that we must die a
" j lingering death.
I Our chief tDouglit was or uiose «e
would leave behind us. and, thinking
that the boat might eventually lie re
covered. some of I lie men set about
■vr'ting letters to leave in her. bidding
lowd ones goodby and telling them of
our last moments in the llesh. I. know
in:: that it would be some time before
death would eoine to us, thought only
of ;i possible means of escape. The
• •lily hope was that when it became
■vident that we had sunk and could
not rise an effort would be made to
save us Rut how potild wreckers
work within a few hundred feet of no
••tiemy's guns?
Suddenly a thought struck me. t)e
siring to have as much depth room as
possible. I had consulted the almanac
' and found that the floodtide corre
sponded with the hour of approaching
darkness. We had gone under at high
tide, the difference between Hood and
! ebb being sixteen feet. In other words.
" | we had sixteen feet more of water
rj i pressure on us than we would have at
f the ebb. I electrified the crew by tell
£ ing them the situation. Here was a
(• hope If our engine could empty the
L* tanks at low tide we would be saved.
£ That was a long six hours, in four
hours we made a trial, but without
£ success. In five hours we tried again,
j- There seemed to be occasional rises of,
£ say, a foot or two. In another half
t> hour we tried it again and could feel
£ j ourselves rising, but very slowly. How
i- ever, as the pressure above lessened
£ wl> went up more rapidly till we reach
p | ed the surface.
J j Shall 1 ever forget that first sight of
f | the upper world?
£ | Two days later 1 tried again and
»j blew up the cruiser and 400 men.

When Tlta Bradford married Ella
Strong they were both young, and one
nas foolish. Tin) was the foolish one
md there was no excuse for him be
nuise he was twenty-Ore years old, au
ige when if a man is ever going to have
tny sense It will surely have appeared,
Ella was barely eighteen and looked
lo Tim for guidance.
Tim was a good looking chap and
fouud couquests of empty headed girls
juite easy. The consequence was thai
lie was fond of that kind of amuse
ment He was a very deep thlnker
in his own opinion—and his thoughts
took shape to serve his desires. Wtaei
3e became engaged to Ella Strong t»
propounded a new idea—that is. new
to her, though it was becoming quit<
fashionable. It was that a married
:ouple should have a great deal of lib
srty and be married only so long as
they wore satisfied with each other
l'his didn't trouble Ella, because she
lldu't wish any liberty, and she bad
perfect confidence in Tim's love foi
ler.
For several years after they were mar
•led Tim let otber women alone, devot
ing himself to his wife and a couple of
:hildrea Then be renewed his flirta
tions.
Ella by this time was twenty-three
years old. If a man Is expected to
have any sense at twenty-five a worn
in certainly should have gained some
wisdom by twonty-three. Ella's com
plaisance to Tim's theories had van
ished. She didn't mind his flirtations
so long as they were scattered, but
ivheu his name began to be connected
with that of another woman to his
wife's mortification she objected very
seriously
But site said nothing to Tim about
It She had grown sufflflentiy experi
enced to know that when a husband or
1 wife begins to Bnd fa?«lt through
jealousy the matrimonial situation is
In a very serious condition. Not ev
ery woman of twenty-three would re
alize that, but Ella did.
One day Tim received an anonymous
note which warned him that his wife
was maintaining a correspondence
with a certain friend of his. The writ
er, who was evidently a woman, said
that she disliked very much to tell
tales, but she could not bear to see a
husband and father so abominably
treated. Uis wife was deceiving him.
She hoped that her information would
be in time to enable him to prevent
the breaking up of his home on ac
count of his Innocent children. If on no
other.
This was a terrible blow to Brad
ford. Ills wife had shown no objec
tion to his attentions to any other
women, not even the one who had oc
casioned the talk. He had sometimes
wondered at this, but attributed It
largely to the fact that when they
were married it had been understood
that both he and Ella should have a
great deal of liberty He had had his
liberty, and now his wife was taking
hers with a vengeance.
The anonymous note he had received
had come to him by an afternoon mall
at his office. He hurried home, to And
his wife in the hall, as usual, for the
connubial kiss. She put up her lips,
but Instead of meeting them with his
he drew back with a thundercloud on
his brow
"Read that," he said, banding her
the note be had received.
Elln read the note and said: "As for
this, I am above making a reply to
anonymous accusations or to bits of
Information gives you concerning me
by nny one. But in this case that is
of no importance, because what this
woman says I admit But I am sur
prised that you should take any notice
of It, for it Is perfectly understood
between us that we were both to have
every liberty in such matters."
"But"
"What 'huts' are there? Hare I ever
complained of any of your affaires de
coeurs?"
"But tolue were Innocent. I am a
man; you are a woman and the mother
of children."
"1 consider myself as well able to
flirt Innocently as yon are."
"But [he world"—
"What Is the world to me beside my
own conscience? Besides, the world Is
throwing off its antiquated morality.
The time is coming when this matter
of marriage will not be riveted chains,
but a daisy chain, to bo broken without
a tnssle."
"For heaven's sake. Ella, where did
you pick up such nonsense?"
"I learned it from you."
"Then unlearn it from me. It's rot."
"And leave you to practice It?"
"I? No; my flirtations are of no con
sequence In comparison to our family
comfort and happiness."
"Then you will cease them?"
"Certainly, if you object to them."
"Very well. I will cease mine till 1
see that you have begun again; then 1
will begin anew."
But Tim never began again. He was
completely cured. lie soon insisted
that he and bLs wife should give up so
ciety In order thai they might the bet
ter enjoy their borne.
"By the bye, Ella, who was the fel
low that I was warned of in the anony
mous note to look out for?"
"Mr. Nemo."
Going to her desk, she unlocked a
drawer, took out a paper and banded it
to him. It was the original of the
anonymous note. She had written it
herself.
"You're a Jim dandy!" he exclaimed,
folding her in hid urins.
A MILITARY DANDY.
Ruttky's Daintiness Under Fir« the
Start of His Rise to Fame.
General Ruzsky. who commanded j
the Russian army tliat overran Uali j
cla and became In consequence the I
hero of the day tn Russia, was con- ]
splcuous as a young lieutenant for the j
daintiness and elegance of his dress ]
In the Turko-Russlnn war of 1877
Ruzsky, then a young lieutenant, serv j
ed as ald-de-camp on the staff of one j
of the Russian generals. In the heat I
of the battle of Plevna he was order- j
ed to take u dispatch to the command
er In chief, the famous Skobelev. De
found Skobelev standing in a rather (
exposed position, snrrounded by his j
staff.
As young Ruzsky delivered his dls- j
patch a shell from a Turkish battery i
struck the ground near by and, ex- j
plodlng, flung a shower of dust and
dirt over the party. Most of the offl '
cers involuntarily ducked their heads,
hut young Ruzsky stood firm and i
erect. Then, as calmly as If be were !
In a ballroom, he drew from his pock- ,
et a spotless linen handkerchief and
flecked the dust from his Immaculate
uniform.
A smile of derision passed over the j
faces of the staff officers, but Skobelev
looked at the young lieutenant with
sudden Interest and asked his name
"You will remain with me as a meui
ber of my staff," he said to the as
tonlsbed young officer. "I am lu neeo
of such men as you."
Years after, when Ruzskv'a Bervlce
had proved the correctness of General
Skobelev's estimate of his nbilities. the
general told the incident of the burst
Ing shell to the czar.
"When a soldier has such a keen re
gard for his appearance before his I
fellow man that no danger can make !
hltn unconcerned about the figure he '
cuts." explained Skobelev. "he makes ,
a dependable leader of men. He will
suffer death rather than permit any
regard for his personal safety to im
pair the impression of Inferiority thai
he is so anxious to make upon his fel
low man. Even though lie be a cow
nrd at heart he will always play the
part of a brave man in his desire to
have men consider bltu possessed ot
superior qualities. i
"In Ruzsk.v I am doubly fortunate.'
concluded the veteran general, "for
Ruzsky is both a dandy and u brave
man."—Youth's Companion.
OUR WILD PONIES.
"Jing-go-tigs" Are the Only Herds We
Have In This Country.
"Look to me like Jing-go-tigs." said
the veteran horseman at a horse sale
at Durland's when a batch of Virginia
ponies, stubby, scrubby and scraggy,
came Into the ring to go tinder the
hammer of the auctioneer.
"Jing-go-tlg's a new one to me.
What are they—something in the horse
line?"
"Very much—the only wild ponies
bred In the United States so far as 1
know, and I've bought horses In about
all the markets of the country. A Jing
go-tig beats anything in the world for
a wild, scrawny and disreputable pony
But tame 'em and they're fine. When
ever you see a pony trap in Baltimore.
Washington, Annapolis or any of the
towus In Virginia or Maryland It's a
100 to 1 shot they are Jlng-go-tigs
Driven to the swellest of turnouts they
are, and you may often see tbem in the
parks la Philadelphia and the suburbs
of that city with children driving or
riding them. Just as they do in the cit
ies farther to the south."
"Jlng-go-tlgs" happen to be Cblaco

row, 6andy and stumpage covered Is
