Stratagem
It Was Intended to Cap
ture a Post of Wo
men Soldiers.
By OSCAR COX
The yacbtlng season was drawing to
a close, and Jim Hathaway concluded
to have one more cruise before putting
the Evellno out of commission for the
winter. Ho collected such of his men
friends as were able to get away—some
of them took their vacations late—and
the party set sail well equipped for a
breezy time.
They had been out several days when
they came In sight of an Island on the
summit of which floated a United
States flag. Passing a man In a boat
Ashing, they asked him if the flag mark
ed a government military post They
were iuformed that it did not. A num
ber of young women who believed In
preparedness bad leased the Island for
a women's barracks and drill ground.
They had formed a company and were
drilling regularly.
This information interested the young
men greatly. After leaving the inform
ant Ilathaway said:
"Boys, I can't think of any better
way to train these girls In the art of
self defense than to attack the island.
The way to learn how to do a thing is
to do It. If they are obliged to defend
themselves against us they will know
how to take care of themselves when
called upon to confront a real enemy."
"What are you going to flgbt 'em
with?" asked Bob Elliot.
"Well, we havo the little salute gun.
We might Are stones over their heads
with it," replied Ilathaway.
"That wouldn't scare them," said El
liot. "One of the principal parts In
war Is strategy. Suppose we try It on."
"It Is my opinion," said Luke Medge,
the homeliest man of the party, "that
any fellow who tries strategy with a
woman will get beaten."
By tnis time tney were vmun «i m»
hundred yards of the Island and were
met by a rowboat containing four glrl9
In uniform, with n coxswain, who told
them that only men In company with
women were allowed on the Island ex
cept officers of the United States army
who were sent there to give Instruc
tion. ITathaway replied that their
party had no Intention whatever of In
truding upon the post and commended
the ladles highly for their patriotism.
Elliot, who had had marked success
with girls and always carried such
munitions of -war as he considered
especially effective in his conquests,
hurried below and returned with a two
pound box of candy The eyes of the
oarsmen glistened at sight of It, but
the cd is wain, who was in command of
the crew, cast a contemptuous glance
at Bob and ordered them to give way.
This produced a laugh on Bob, who
had proposed strategy, but he bore
the ridicule with equanimity.
"There were five girls in the boat,"
he said, "and four of them were ready
to sell out for the sweets. The cox
swain had a temporary advantage, but
there were four to one to be tempted
We'll see who shall laugh last."
"How would it do," suggested Billy
Charnley, "for one of us to personate
a United States officer sent to drill
the company?"
"That would involve one man effect
ing an entrance," said Hathaway,
"and he would have to be unknown as
belonging to our party. If ho got into
the barracks he might connive at the
rest of us following him. Is there a
mau among us who knows anything
about military matters?"
A poll was taken, with the result
that not a man had ever handled a
musket. Ferguson had been a mem
ber of a crack cavalry troop, but had
always shirked drill Besides, it was
not likely, there were any horses ou the
island. From all apj'earauces the school
was devoted to Infantry training.
However, It was decided to sail for
the mainland, where Ferguson, .who
was to personate ati army omeer, pro
cured In a secondhand store a cap
ornamented with brass buttons. HIr
lug a single sticker without a jib, it
was manned by two of the crew of
the Eveline, who had not left their
berths when the patrol boat was met.
and consequently they had not been
seen by the girls. These fellows pur
chased canvas suits, the shirts having
blue collars, and when rigged out In
them would very well pass for navy
tars. Then the Nautilus—that was the
single sticker's name—sailed for the Is
land. followed by the Eveline.
On nearing the Island the Eveline
dropped farther astern, while the
Nautilus sailed on straight for the
! dock, flying tho stars and stripes from
the masthead, indicating—so it was
hoped—that a government officer was
aboard. A sentry was walking past on
the dock, a girl with light hair and
blue eyes, little of the hair being visi
ble, since it was tucked away under
a military felt hat with a large brim.
Ferguson sprang out of the boat, and,
walking as if stiffened in his spin© by
| a mm rod, he triangulated to the sentry
and asked where ho would find the com
mander of the post. The sentry called
tho corporal of the guard, which was
posted a short distance away, and
when she came Ferguson asked to see
the commanding officer, stating briefly
that he was on government business.
Tho corporal looked at his civilian ap
parel, especially the brass buttons on
his cap, then called the sergeant of the
.- i — — —
guard, who, after a brief Interview,
conducted him to the house constitut
ing the barracks. The commandant
was Bitting In n C by 9 room before a
table, on which were papers. Ferguson
said:
"I received a telegram this morning
from the department headquarters or
dering me to inspect this post and ren
der any Information or assistance you
might need. I am Lieutenant Charles
Ferguson of the —th cavalry."
"I am very glad to see jou, lieuten
ant," replied the officer. ''Had you an
nounced your coming or even appeared
in uniform you would have been re
ceived with military honors."
"Unfortunately. I was visiting a
friend when I received the order," re
plied Ferguson, "and I never wear a
uniform except when on duty. My
baggage being a hundred miles away,
I was obliged to report 'aere In mufil.
with the exception of this cap, which
I use for auto driving."
The captain asked to see Ferguson's
order to Inspect the post He had seat
himself a telegram to that effect while
on the mainland, and now pulled It out
and handed It to the officer. Whether
or not she was satisfied, she appeared
to be so and, lending Ferguson out on
to the parade, gave an order to turn out
the company for Inspection. The com
mand was drawn up in line, the rear
rank marched three paces to the rear,
and the Inspector, in company with the
captain, walked along both ranks,
each soldier handing him her gun for
Inspection. Ferguson had seen an In
spection, so he cocked every piece and
now and then wiped the metal with
his white cambric handkerchief. When
the Inspection was over he returned to
the captain's office, and the latter began
to ply him with questions.
"We are weaker," she said, "In th»
matter of guard duty than anything
else. I should like to have you mount
a guard and Instruct ua upon the
duties of the sentinel."
"The guard," replied Ferguson, "Is
mounted at any hour of the morning
that the commandant directs. Tomor
row morning I will be happy to per
! form the ceremony for you."
I Ferguson did not propose to be on
the Island the next morning unlesa In
hla true character. He couldn't mount
a guard for a potato patch.
"Who mounts the guard'/" asked the
captain.
"The officer of the guard."
"Which guard—the old or the new?"
"The new guard," hazarded Ferguson.
Now, Captain Mabel Hetherlngton
knew that the guard la under the or
der of the officer of the day. Further
more she knew that there Is no officer
of the guard, which Is In command of
a sergeant But she said nothing:. Fer
guson would have preferred that she
would say something rather than wear
the look which appeared upon her face.
However, this look soon passed from
her face, and, rising, she said:
"Now that we have had some of yonr
Instruction, lieutenant, I propose that
we should relax from military formal
ity, and I shall be happy to Introduce
you to my officers, and If your Ideas
of the distance between officer and pri
vate are not too rigid I will Introduce
you to some of the latter. Please wait
here while I announce the Introduc
tion. You must remember that though
soldiers we are still women, and ft wo
man always desires to make herself
presentable when about to be pre
sented."
ijeuvuig me iuuui, sub euuu rciuiutw
with her lieutenants and several pri
vates. After a little conversation one
by one the soldiers retired, except t
lovely girl with eyes like a summer
sky, who, when the others were gone,
brought them to bear on Ferguson In a
way that made him doubtful whether
ho wits on earth or in heaven.
But presently this happiness was
brought to an abrupt and humiliating
end. The captain returned with a ser
geant and a dozen privates, whom she
baited hi the hall, six beyond the door
and sis in rear of It The captain ad
vanced to Ferguson with the dignity of
a soldier and said:
"Lieutenant, I'll trouble you to take
position there," pointing to the inter
val.
Ferguson's face fell. He knew that
he liad given away his Ignorance of
military matters nnd was about to be
ejected from the post as an impostor.
A sergeant placed n feather over each
ear, and a drum and fife corps struck
up the rogues' march. The order "For
ward!" was given, and, the captain
mnrcliing beside him, Ferguson was
escorted to the dock. There the cap
tain asked him If he could swim. He
admitted that he could.
The Eveline had sailed boldly up to
a position near the dock, cast anchor,
and her crew were waiting the result
of Ferguson's maneuver. When they
saw him coming with a feather behind
each ear to the well known tune of the
rogues' march the sight was too much
for their gravity. If the captain bad
any doubt as to Ferguson being an lm
postor it was removed by the shout of
merriment which greeted him from the
deck of the Eveline.
He was marched to the edge of the
dock, his escort took position behind
him with fixed bayonets, and he was
prodded to Jump. He was yd I enough
to take to the water and as'oon as he
came up from his dive wrenched the
feathers from his ears and threw them
away. Amid the Jeers of the soldiers
and his companions he swam to the
yacht and was taken aboard.
Before the Eveline's anchor could be
rals®! the captain's orderly brought an
invitation to the yacht's crew, Includ
ing Ferguson, to visit the post the
same evening nnd take part In a dance.
The Invitation was accepted, and
Ferguson receive^! much attention from
the officers and privates of the garri
son. All admitted that be bad played
his part well, and If ho had known
anything about soldiering his ran
would have been successful.
la Grammar Essential?
Sometimes It Is urffed that formal
grammar teaches children to write and
speak correctly, but as all Americans
have studied formal grammar, lnclud
ing newspaper reporters and sales wo
men, there would appear to be no guar
antee that formal grammar study l^ada
to correct habitg of speech. On the
other hand, I once knew a school
where for fourteen ye^ra not a minute
was spent on formal grammar, and,
like the worm that does not miss 0
slice or two, no one ever knew the dif
ference.—Atlantic Monthly.
A FACT PROVEN.

If there Is the slightest doubt In the
minds of nnv thru Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks' time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore thai the only prevention of
baldness Is the destruction of the germ—
which act Is successfully accomplished
In one hundred per cent, of cases by
Aie application of Newbro's Herplcide.
