though, maddened by the action of the

Spaniards in trying

to Kill Janney v.niie he was recuin? a wounded man, we could scarcely possess our souls in patience until we could have a chance to blow them out of their blockhouses. After supper we brought up the old 12-pounder. A porthole was made on

tho side bearinff on the town, and before daylight we were ready for buin??3. Just as the sun came over the horizon Osgood landed a .shell squarely on the Isabella fortin, and for a couple of hours deliberately shelled that work and others in the vicinity. .As always when these fracrlle blockhouses were under artillery fire, the enemy left the structures and fought in the trenches around them, where only by chanee were they liable to suffer casualties from our shells. Here .however, our sltaht elevation above tho town pavo us some advantage In this respect. Our infantry supports were well covered in standim? trenches on the Hanks of the blockhouse, these having been constructed during the night, so that there were no groups to draw the Spanish fire. The result was that the enemy paid but little attention to u. It was finally noticed. however, that about once a minute a bullet would come through our port-hole, or strike very near It. Some exceptionally fine sharp-shooter was giving us his attention. On one of my runs to the blockhouse to announce tho result of a shot, one of these bullets came In the port-hole just as I entered. mKslnc: me only an inch or two. Several of those serving at the jrun had narrow escapes, find everybody was keeping s much ns possible out of the dancer zone.

After several unfortunate shots had been made, Osgood stooped over the gun to make on the sicrht a correction for wind. lie had adjusted it satisfactorily, and made the remark. -I think that will do," when all those nearby heard a bullet strike him with a sound like a baseball b'dnp thrown against a building. He sank across the trail of the pun, unconscious, and wns lifted from it by his horrorstricken comrades and hurried down the hill to one of f ie dressing stations. He did not recover consciousness, nnd in four hours was dead. Tho bullet had pono through his brain. The little proup of aliens, fighting In a strange land for a cause not their own. were sore stricken. For a time we did nothlnsr but sit in the blockhouse, well back from the fatal portho1. and craze in awe at the spatter of blood on the Kun trail and note the devilish regularity with which the missies from the sharp-shooter's rifle whistled past us. A staff olllcer who was In the blockhouse with us had hastened to headquarters with the news of Oscood's certainly fatal wound. It was General (Jarcia's desire that Cox. bavins: served directly tinder him. should succeed Osflood, but Gomez overruled him, and I was from that time in command of the nrtilery of the )epartamento Oriente. It was rightly cuessod that the t harp-shooters was stationed in the church tower, distant 1.100 yards, and I determined to make it my special business to kill him if I could. It was subseqtiently learned that he

was an officer using a rifle with telescope sight. As the gun had not been touched since Osgood had sighted it, I ordered the lanyard pulled, and a shell smashed Its way through one of the block houses. The poor fellow's last work had been well done. But hit tho church tower I could not, owing to the defective ammunition and strong gusts of wind, thought I struck the roof of the building within a few feet of it several times. During the night of this day wo brought up one of the two-pounders, cut a port-hole for it to the left of the larger gun. and placed It In position. The projectiles fired by this piece were too small to do much damage, but Its accuracy was wonderful, and It had ammunition that had not been damaged. The next morning our friend in the church tower resumed ooerations, and we promptly went for him. Every shot fired at the tower from the little gun struck It, one shell, as we subsequently ascertained, striking within r. foot of the small window from which the officer was tiring. They had the desired moral e:Tect, and we aad no more trouble with the tower rmarp-shooter. All this while the Cuban Infantry had the town closely invested, and from time to time there would be lively fire fights between them and the defenders of tho trenches. Time hung heavily on our hands, but we had soi-ie diversions. One night Huntington mauj a lone-hand raid on the tewn. He crawled through the Spanish lines, roamed unchallenged through the streets, and camo back wit'.i a fine turkey. Inspired by this feat, Charles

Carlos, Garcia's negro servant, who had known the town well in times of peace, begged his chief for permission to enter and endeavor to obtain a supply of Spanish delicacies from some of the abandoned store. Ke wormed his way through the grass, crawled under the barb-wire entanglements, reached the center of the town, and returning after five hours the exultant negro deposited his cargo at the feet of his waiting and appreciative master, - whose friends promptly gathered about to see the result of this raid. By the light of a camp-fire the sack was emptied of Its contents, 18 cans of house paint! (Copyright by Charles Scribner's Sons.) CONTINUED.

Why do they prohibit school children exchanging pencils? Why do they prohibit the common drinking cup? The answer is easy to prevent the possible contamination from ono person to another. Why are you not as careful and Insist that ice used In your home is free from suspicion of taint. The white Vacuum Ice is artesian well water frozen in a hermetically sealed chamber.
