It was the nlgnt before that memo
rable charge op San Joan LI1L Private
Carter was a fragment of that -long,
tln blue line In support of the rough
riders.' He was a volunteer and had
neTer experienced the baptism of fire,
lie was afraid of the morrow. Ills
heart almost shriveled up in his broad
, chest at the thought of what he might
expect' to face, and then In turn it ex-
. panded to almost suffocation. He was
. afraid of himself. Would he walk up
bravely to whatever fate was In store
for him, or would he shrink and quail
, before the foe? were questions that be
. asked himself as he looked up at the
twinkling southern stars. By right of
. his physique his place was at the bead
of. the first four of his company. At
the preparatory camps he had learned
the foot maneuvers and manual of
arms with an aptness that placed him
In line for. promotion to that of a non
commissioned officer if nothing better.
lie was the right pivot for his four.
Would the conduct of any of the other
men turn on his actions in the action
of the morrow? Would he come out a
corpse, a craven coward or a man
worthy of promotion?
His tboughja flew away, skipping
over the waters with the swiftness of
a bird. Nothing Impeded their prog
ress as they went back over the track
. of the vessel that bad brought him to
this unfamiliar southern clime. Ills
' body lay bark In a drowsy state, and
' soon he slept soundly, but his mind,
his soul, was somewhere else. It
touched lightly at New York city and
went on out Into the rural districts
v .with a bound. He saw his comfort
' able home. At that very moment his
-aged father was reading from a dally
paper to his anxious mother while she
sat with clasped bands on the opposite
side of the lighted lamp. He could see
that they were deeply interested In the
story of the Impending battle at the
- great southern gate to Cuba. The very
dread on bis mother's face almost
made him sorry that be had enlisted
against bcr wishes. But something
seemed to pull him on from that be
loved spot. There was the old family
dog curled up In his kennel. lie saw
him as plainly as day as be passed out
the bsck way. He felt like stooping

stay.- Some unexplaiu.-iltie por.er drew
''blm onward. He was off on the wings
of thought again. A touch here and a
- touch there brought him back to Camp
Alger. The great Washington-monument
flashed on bis vision as be pass-
ed, the same as It was the day the cars
bore bis regiment to the seaboard for
embarkation for the front. There was
neither , pause nor delay until be

card on the curtain gave the record of

not familiar with It It looked like a
plain card with lines drawn across It
at right angles to each other and a
heavy, wavy line running from left to
right and as crooked as the average
river line on a map, the variance being
several degrees In crossing half the
card.
Private Carter had been there before
. and "knew exactly what that card
meant.- He looked closely and saw
that In the previous hour the wavy
chart line bad taken a' decidedly
upward tendency, indicating that the
fever was high. The patient was talk

John Spear had been boys together.
They leTTbome the same day to enlist.
Their names went down on the muster
cards one after the other. They had
bunked together, were "rookies" In the
same four, bad been next to each other
In the. long, hot days of extended order
drill.' so generally practlcjed in modern
Infantry warfare. Spear was stricken
by that much dreaded disease typhoid
fever,- a fewdays before the regiment
was ordered to the front, and the, next
man In height fell Into bis place, and
dosed up the gap In the front "rank.
The morning Spear bundled up his
blanket and few belongings and was
taken from his quarters by the ambu
lance he told Carter that he felttthat
his days of drilling were over. As the
ambulance rumbled down the company
street he held up his throbbing bead
and took a farewell look at his com
rades, who were drawn up in line for
morning drill, and wondered whether
or notne would ever see them again.
The white tents danced before bis
eyes like fleecy clouds. Now as Carter
stooped" over bis fevered' comrade he
could bear him murmuring In his. de
lirium: "Oh, If I only could have gone
with the boys I I know 1 could have
gone up with them to the very mouth
of the Spanish guns. Now, there's Car
ter. Won't he be brave and come back
a hero? What cruel fate keeps me here
In this accursed place?"
The sultry July night wore on. All
was quiet, except the sentries calling
the hours. Carter listened to the heavy
voiced sentry ; sending the word,
"Eleven o'clock, and all Is well!" to
bis piping voiced comrade on the next
beat and marked the contrast. But he
hovered about the cot of his dying
comrade. Even the rattle of the sword
of the passing officer of the day did not
detract bis attention from the pinched
face of Spear. Once he flnng a thin,
almost transparent hand over the edge
of the cot, and Carter attempted to
take it between his hands and cool It,
but somehow it seemed something In
tangible; and he could not grasp It.
The surgeon came along and, pulling
the curtain aside, glanced in. The
nurse was moistening the Hps of the
dying soldier and smoothing back the
ban: from the pale forehead. "At the
turn of night bis troubles will be over,"
the surgeon said, dropping the curtain
of thin mosquito bar and passing out.
"Why could I not have died on the
field of battle?" murmured the passing
defender of. his country's flag. "Why
must I be stricken down by a camp
disease and die without the honor of
ha vug fired a gun at the enemy?"
Like the first cock crow at the dawn
of day, a lusty sentry at the guard
house of a distant regiment took up
the call, "Twelve o'clock," and before
It had reached the starting point and
he had added the words "and all is
well!" the same cry was going around
all the other, regiments in that great
camp of preparation.
But Private John Spear In the great
long hospital tent did not bear or
heed the calL His eyelids fell, his
hands lost their tension, and be re
mained strangely quiet. The nurse
softly rocked a sheet about his form
and pulled a latticed screen on each
side of the cot, so that those adjoining
might not know what had happened,
and softly retired. Private Carter still
stood and gazed on the form of his
inanimate companion from boyhood.
He did not seem to know what bad
happened. He had never heard of
thought transference, the sending of
the soul out on missions, or any other
of the modern theories on this and
kindred subjects. He thought he was
there. Who can say be was not? His
body was lying ou Cnban soil In a
state of relationship next akin to
death. His body was there. But who
knows where his sor.l was? And who
knows what mysterious things the at
tachment of these two friends may
bare brought about?
The body of Irivate Spear lay In the
hospital cot. but Irivate Carter hov
ered over It. Somehow he could not
leave. He wanted to remain beside
his friend.
That night and the next day passed,
and the remains of the dead soldier did
not show all the symptoms of death.
There seemed to. be a lingering spark
somewhere about him. His parents
had been advised by telegraph of what
had apparently happened and asked
whether the remains should be ship
ped home or buried in beautiful Ar
lington.
The shrill bugle brought the body of
Private Carter to bis feet with a bound
at the foot of San Juan bill on that
fateful morning. He did not feel Just
like himself. At first be did not seem
to know Just where be was. The sur
roundings looked strange. ( Looking
down the line, he saw his comrades
struggling to their feet to get into posi
tion for roll calL When the name of
Private Carter was called, be did not

Private Carter astonished "bis com

wanted to know, among other things,
how they bad got there and why it
was they were out without tents and
camp equipage and what was going on.
"You'll find out soon enough what's
going on." volunteered one of the boys
who belonged farther, down the line.
"Look out there at the- Spanish, sen
tries. They'll give yon a taste of their
Mausers before the day Is over."--
It was not long until the rough riders
went up that famous hill with the rash
of a prairie fire. The volunteer fine as

approaching in the morning, the sentry
thought be noticed a disturbance In

were mounting the tall pole at head
quarters to , welcome the rising sun,
and all the companies were in ranks
with uncovered heads, so he did not
give much heed to the noise. How
ever, Just as the corporal with bis re
lief came up the noise was repeated.
The sentry pulled back the flaps of
the tent and looked in and was con
siderably startled to see Private Spear
sitting up holding his head. The hos
pital call was sounded, and In a few
moments two hospital men bore Pri
vate Spear back to the hospital on a

he must have had a sinking spell at
the time his fever turned and bad been

The first day he was back In the hos

nurse of a strange dream he had had.
lie said he dreamed that he was not
sick at all, but was with his regiment
jn Cuba and that they had been in a
fight in which there was a lot of cav

that the Spanish had been vanquished
and that he was never so happy in his
life as when he plunged Into the works
and captured two Spaniards.

If the Earth Should Stop.
The stopping of a projectile always
results in the generation of heat. The
velocity and weight of a projectile be
ing known, the amount of heat devel
oped by its stoppage can be calculated.
In the case of large bodies moving rap
Idly the result of the calculation is
something astounding. For example:
The eartb weighs 6,000,000,000,000
tons. It travels in its orbits at the
rate of Tbver 18 miles a second.
Should It strike a target strong enough
to stop its motion the heat developed
by the shock would be sufficient not
merely to fuse the earth, but also to re
duce a large portion of it to vapor,
i It has been calculated that the
amount of heat generated by a collision
so colossal would equal that obtained
from the burning of 14 globes of coal,
each equal to the eartb in size. And
should the earth after Its stoppage fall

The Longest Swim. .
Going with the tide, in the TJiames
river, ' Captain Matthew Webb , once
swam a distance of 40. miles in nine
hours and 57 minutes. Montague A."
Holbein, an English "long distance
cyclist," swam three miles farther, al
though he made no such time record".
Taking the water at Blackwall pier
In the early morning, says the London
Chronicle, Holbein went down the riv
er on a strong ebb, which ran ' until
he had progressed two miles beyond
Gravesend. Turning then with the
tide, he came back on the flood to
Blackwall. He failed to reach the pier
by a mile owing to the tide failing him,
and he left the water quite fresh and
strong, willing, had his friends so ad
vised, to turn again and complete 50
miles.
The distance he had thus covered
43 miles, which he swam In 12 hours
27 minutes 42 seconds is the great
est ever known to have been covered
by a swimmer, although it has been
assumed that Matthew Webb, when
he crossed the channel, must have
been borne almost as far by the chang
ing tides. :
