A Cuban Beggar Girl
By John R. MrMahon.
GOOD-IiY wns u tnnplc-linired mitl
cfet, and came resrularly every day
to .ir camp with a two-quart tomnto
can in one llatid and a little bag along
over licr shoulder, wherewith to collect
the remnants of the soldiers' mess. Her
ever were lirown, her cheeks just
plump enough) licr bnre little lops and
arms well proportioned; licr fuce al
ways bore an expression of cheerful
seriousness, I guess Hie was about
eiojht years old.
At first when (iood-by came to camp
she was quite shy, and stood silently
near the refuse barrels with her imple
ments of collection, when sony of the
kinder-hearted nien would scrape out
the leavings on their plate It to the to-mato-can
and throw pieces of bread and
hardtack into the little pirl's hng. Aft
erwards she acquired confidence, ntid
seven days 0 week visited our tents nt
noon mess call, Starting at the head of
the company street. Some duj'B there
would be such a surplus of rations that
she would till her can and bag before
she pot half-way down the lnef and
then she would trot awny, and, I sup
pose, notify her little companions, at
the child-beggars' rendezvous under a
bir tree outside of camp, that company
1) had a fine lot of dinner left.
Anita was (iood-by 's ripht name, but
everybody colled ber by the other, be
cause that was all the English she knew
at first, mid because of the way she had
of walking into your tent and smilingly
saying "(iood-by!" as she held out her
little band. She meant: "How do vein
do?"
"Senorita (iood-by," I sold to her one
day, "what a terrible eater you are for
a small body! Here you've gat two
quarts of olla podrida in your can
soup, meat, potatoes, and I know not
what else besides that larp;e bagful
of bread that you stagger under. Do
you eat it all? Surely you can't weigh
more than three times as much as your
booty."
"Oh, Serjento," cried the little crea
ture, in distress, "do not think it! I
only eat my share. There are five
others."
"You have a family, then?"
"Well, It is my aunt's family," snid
(lood-by, elapsing her hands. "No hay
nl padre nl madrc" I have no father
or mother.
It seemed that she was an orphan
from earlie'st remembrance. Her aunt
was a Cuban soldier's widow, with four
young children. (Iood-by was the chief
support of the house.
Now, nmong my tent-mates was a
blonde-haired giant, rather reckless,
but warm-hearted, whose name was
(leorge Hcutellc. Uefore he enlisted In
the volunteer army to fight .Spain (but
never got a chance, for the cxtentof our
service was garrison duty in Cuba) his
business was that of railroad engineer.
A bright, whole-souled fellow, but a
little reckless, hs 1 said ; a trifle too fond
of conviviality. He had been promottSs
once to a sergenntcy, but a glass too
much at the wrong time caused his re
duction to the. ranks. He was always
Jolly, performs! the most disagreeable
duty wish a Joke, and was tike best
liked man in our company.
The midget (lood-by and the giant
floutclle developed a strong friendship
for each other. Good-by, as she frankly
told me, infinitely admired the lrnnd
some six-foot private that flower of
the splendid race of Americanos. "How
easy," she said, reflectively, to me one
day, "it would be for Senor Chorge to
enmli me with one hand! What a big
man! I am sure there is no one in the
world could resist his strength. Holy
Mother! he is so good-looking, too."
Boutelle, on his side, grew very fond of
his small admirer, with whom, how
ever, he could converse only frag
mentary. Sometimes I would act us
interpreter for the two.
One day some cases of yellow fever
broke out in the lowest quarter of the
town. Bod in consequence all Cubans
were quarantined from our camp. This
meant that the little beggar-children
also couldn't enter camp any more. We
were likewise ordered not to enter
(iunnnjny, and the officers drilled us
pretty severely, both to keep us occu
pied anil la the best condition to resist
the dreaded fever. There was no cpi-
detnic, however, and nt the end
of at
fortnight the quarantine was removed,
except that for some reason no little na
tive food-collectors were to be allowed
in camp. Thus we saw no more of Good
by in our tents, nor had seen her at all
in Ihe last two weeks.
Houtelle and I went to town together
a few days after the lifting of the quar
antine. We visited several stores,
bought some things in the way of Span
ish relics, and finally brought up at a
restaurant. The bare-armed waiter
was setting the second course of lettuce
and fried flsli before us, when Boutelle
spied Good-by with her tin can and lit
tle bag standing among the brigade of
beggar-children outside the lattice
work In front of the restaurant. She
had just arrived, nut would have run
away when she saw us, but my com
panion called her to rotue in. She en
tered shamefacedly.
"How nre you, Good-by?" said Hou
telle, pleasantly, holding out his hand.
"Sit down and eat with us."
"Do, senorita," I reenforced. "Put
down your things and we will have n
little chat."
Poor Good-by! She almost cried
with pleasure, and yet hesitated great
ly about the propriety of accepting the
invitation of her exalted friends.
"I want to know the news," said Bou
telle (I translated for him). "You must
sit with us."
So the child finally put down her bag
and can, and we commanded the
prodigiously smiling waiter to post
pone his grinning and set another plate.
Good-by ate about as much aa a spar-
I
row's rations, but became quite at ease
under our skillful matter-of-course
manner, and told of little affairs domes
tic nnd civil, such as her baby cousiu's
development of teeth, her aunt's find
ing a couple of days' work, the appre
hension of a housebreaker, the wonder
ful progress In the English primer of
neighbor Santiago Gonzales, etc. In
turn Good-by asked us many questions
about America, which seemed to her a
land where everybody was rich and
happy.
"Are the American ladies as beauti
ful us the men?" inquired Good-by at
length, rather bashfully.
We laughed in our sleeves nt this
question, and I informed Good-by that
American women were a thousand
times superior to the men in every re
spect. "Ah!" she cried. "I would like to see
one of those American senoras."
"Here you are," said Boutelle, twinkling-eyed,
producing a small photo
graph from his inside pocket. "There's
an American young lady. What do
you think of her?"
Good-by gazed long and earnestly nt
the photograph.
"She is very beautiful indeed," elic
sighed, "Your your friend, Senor
Boutelle?"
lloutclle changed color a bit, and re
sponded: "Yes, Good-by; we're pretty good
friends."
When we had finished the meal, the
little beggars from outside came in and
collected in their tin cans what was left
on onr plates; then we had to distrib
ute "oon cent" apiece to them. We
parted from (iood-by after giving her a
dollar for her aunt, and promising to
call on the family.
Things went on rather monotonous
ly In camp the usual .round of drill
and guard duty; sometimes it-skirmish
and mock engagement through the
neighboring hills. Once we had a real
skirmish with a band of guerillas, and
captured them after killing two. l'"or
amusement we explored the adjacent
country by twos and threes, or made
excursions to the sea coast at Muriel,
eight miles away; some took kodak
pictures, Others collected Spanish rel
ics; some made petsof chameleons, dogs,
iighting-cocks and parrots; others
passed away the time by writing end
less letters. Finally word come that
I'ucle Sam considered we had done our
stint, and that the regiment was to be
ordered home and mustered out. Pay
da arrived about the same time. The
double exhilaration of money and
superlatively good news for awhile
rather destroyed discipline. I regret
to say that annong the many Incarcer
ated in fhe guardhouse was my tent
inate Ooutelle.
Good-by trudged up to camp the next
afternoon. She stood In the blazing sun
by the side of the read for half an hour
before she found courage to ask the
fierce-whiskered sentry No. 1 to let her
pass the line. She carried, well wrapped
up In paper, a Cuban machete, her late
uncle's, which she intended to pre
sent to Senor Doutelle.
"So," sjd the sentry, "you can't pass.
Vamoose!"
The officer of the guard emerged
from one of the guardhouse tents at
this moment, and saw the little girl.
He knew some Spanish, uud asked her
what she wanted.
"1 want to see ths soldier Senor Ilou
telle," she faltered.
The young lieutenant was a roguish
fellow, and amused himself by drawing
out the child.
"So," he said, "Anita (iood-by, Tri
vate lloutclle is your friend. I um ex
tremely sorry to inform you that Pri
vate Houtelle is a prisoner. He was
found asleep on his post last night. He
will be shot in the morning. He's dig
ging a sink now, so you can't see him.
Come again at sunset."
The officer chuckled as he was called
away to attend to some business.
Qood-By crept back to the road with
face blanched ami her little heart
frozen with horror. She wandered
slowly up and down the long white
highway in front of camp, shading her
eyes from the sun's reflected glare with
a small brown hand. The full enor
mity of the intelligence seemed to be
more than she could grasp, yet she
could appreciate enough to fill her.with
dreadful stunning grief. Death she had
seen; an old, emaciated woman giusp
convulsively a few limes, and then turn
white and rigid. That .was not much;
i the old woman was scarcely different
dead than alive. Death she had heard
closely described as it happened in
the ambustr when Spaniard and Cuban
met. That had not sunk deeply in tier
mind. Here was a full-blooded, hand
some young' man of the superior race,
whoso vivacious kind spirit wns to be
sl.ot out of him, his fine, strong body
turned to montionless earth in the
twinkling of an eye by lead bullets dis
charged by his own comrades. Anil
he was her friend! Her friend! . . .
Good-by 'a frenzy of woe lasted for
some couple of hours. Then she began
to think practically a little, and finally
translated her meditation into action as
follows:
The colonel sat in front of his tent
smoking a pipe. He consulted his watch
to see how far it was from time for the
bugle-call for dress parade, and when
he looked up again there stood before
him a ragged little bare-headed beg
gar girl, very pale, one hand tightly
clutching something done up in paper,
and the other hand on her heart.
"Hello!" said the colonel: "who are
you, and how did you get here?"
"Your excellency," responded Good
by, touching her forehead with her left
hand in imitation of the military salute,
"1 ran across the line when the senti
nel wasn't looking. My name is Anita,
but the soldiers call me Good-by."
"You ran across the line, eh? That
was serious business. Why did you run
across the line ? Whom did you want to
see?"
"You, Senor CoroneL"
"I! What can you want of me, Miss
Good -by 7
"Sore his life, enrorr!!" snd. ttrable
Von, tain herself longer, Good-by burst
fnto a aeries of little sobs.
"Come, come," said the colonel, with
pretended gruffness. "Don't cry. Ex
plain yourself nnd 1 will consider your
application, whatever it is. Whose life
uo you want me to save?"
"Senor llotitelle's," gasped the child.
"Boutelle. Houtelle," repeated the
colonel, in a low voice; "that must be
that stalwart Scrgt. lloutclle, of com
pany D, reduced for drinking. What
the deuce this brat mtans about, him 1
enn't make out." Then aloud:
"Well, tny bold young petitioner, how
shall 1 save Private llotitelle's UfeV"
"Vou have the power, senor. He he
slept bust night on the guard-line, nnd
the tell me he will be shot in the morning."
"So, so," Commented the colonel.
"Who told you be would be shot?"
"An ollicer nt the guardhouse, u lieu
tenant, I think, senor."
"I'll settle that Lieut. Robertson's
business if he keeps on with his joking
tricks," muttered the colon I to him
self. "I've told him once he tight
to resign from the army and join the
minstrels."
"Oh, coruncl, I beg it of you! If I
If I-"
"If you what?"
"Oh!" erics the child, dropping the
wrapped-up machete ami passionately
clapping her hands together, while
tears stand in her eyes, "if I thought
my life worth anything I would give it
to make my friend live. lie is young
and handsome, he has many friends ami
relatives ut home in America. Espe
cially there is a beautiful young lady
that lie thut he is very fond of. I, I
am nothing. I am nn orphan. I would
like to die lor him."
The colonel is a man of family, and
has a little daughter himself. Very
likely lie is a bit ashamed of having
abetted and brought to this height the
torture of the diminutive tangle-haired
creature that stands before him with
moist eyes and heaving breast.
"Your petition is granted, Good-by,"
says the colonel, hastily, clearing his
throat nnd tossing his pipe into the
tent.
How can Good-by's infinite relief and
joy, frantic as her late grief, be de
scribed? She cried: "Gracias, graclasl
u thousand million thanks, most super
latively kind and great-hearted
colonel!" and, rushing forward, seized
and kissed one of the colonel's sun
burnt paws.
The colonel laughed u little, and, pat
ting Good-by on the head, said:
"Yes, my child, there won't be any
executions in this camp while I'm here.
You needn't salute my other hand.
Now tell me how you came to take such
nn interest in Private Houtelle. What
do you mean by this fiery regard? T
think you are the youngest young lady
I ever met that was willing to die oft
hand for somebody else. In America
sometimes the young men pretend they
are going to die for young ladies, but
they hardly ever do."
Good-by blushed, smiled and endeav
ored to explain in a happy, serious little
voice just bow the matter stood, with
all the whys nnd wherefores. "1 think,"
she concluded, "it mny be as his rever
nee the priest said one Sunday, that
the sun here in Cuba shines down
Straight intgi our hearts and makes
them warm and quick. Do yon think
tbatisaOrSenorColonel? Are not hearts
also warm nnd quick in America V"
"Well!" quoth the astonished' colonel,
"here i sen nee from babies and suck
lings. Yes 1 don't know perhaps
you can study these things In books
when you get older, Good-by."
Meanwhile the eolotud's orderly had
been sent tn the guardhouse to fetch
Private Houtelle. The well-proportioned,
handsome giant of a soldier
marched up across the parade ground,
and, stopping half a doscn paces from
the colonel's tent, silently saluted the
commanding officer, nt the same time
nodding imperceptibly to Good-by,
whosa strange tete-a-tete with the
colonel had perhaps been reported to
him by the orderly.
"Boutelle," said the cojonel, "what's
your offense this time, anyway?"
"Liquor, sir."
"The old fault. Now look here, Bou
telle, I might tell you what n fiiSf fellow
you are and what n bad fellow that
friend of yours, the bottle, is. I coulu
preach you a regular temperance ser
mon, and bring down the house by in
troducing the story of this little Cuban
girt that thought you were going to
bo shot and wanted to give her life
for yours. 1 could, but it's out of my
line, and perhaps the chaplaju can do
it better. The chaplain gets paid to
talk on temperance and preach ser
mons. I suppose I'll give him the story
of Good-by so lie can work it into a
sermon some time up home. All 1
want to Bay to you here is this: If
1 had a friend that thought as much
of me as Good-by does of you, I'd try
never to disappoint or lose that friend.
She's persuaded me to pardon in you
an imaginary offense whose penalty is
death. I Biippose that pardon covers
all lesser offenses and you may report
to your captain."
When the regiment left Cuba a week
afterwards Good-by cried quite a bit,
but, as she told me, whenever she
t bought to herself that Senor Boutelle
was going to rejoin his family and the
beautiful young lady he was fond of,
it made her very glad. Before we went
a subscription list was circulated in
camp for the benefit of "Anita, alias
Good-by, n Cuban orphan," and the
colonel's name was at the head of the
paper. It became quite a matter of
regimental pride to get up a liberal
sum for the child's maintenance and
cducction for several years to come.
Good-by is now hard et work learning
to write, so that she can correspond
witb Senor Boutelle, her handsome big
friend. Outlook.

EXPLANATORY.
, The Floodgates of Evil Are
Opened. Vs. 1-J. The reforms of Nc
hcntlall accomplished great things and
made nn era in the progress of the
kingdom oi God. But, as in all revivals
and reforms, there followed a reaction,
especially nn the part of those who
were carried along by the current of
popular feeling, but were not really
changed In heart. Doubtless tlie reac
tion began during the 1J years before
Kehemiah was recalled to Persia; bui
doubtless in his absence, and after the
death of K.ra, those who had been si
lenced and subdued by their presence
took courage to return to their evil
courses, so that a deluge of sins rushed
In upon the nation like an overwhelm
ing torrent, carrying away the barriers
of law and religion and covenants nnd
promises,
II. Undermining the Kingdom of God
Through Sabbath-Breaking. Vs. ii-17.
li. "In these days:" liming Nehe
miah's second visit to Jerusalem, while
making the other reforms. "Saw 1:"
Be dill not depend on hearsay, but ex
amined for himself and found the facts.
Three Forms of Sabbath-Breaking.
1. Working on their farms and kieji
ing their laborers at work. "In Ju
dah:" It' the country around Jerusa
lem. "Treading wine presses on the
Sabbath:" The wine prt sses were
large vats into which the grapes were
placed and the juice trodden out by the
feet of men. "Uringing in sheaves:"
Gathering their harvests and bringing
them into the city.
2. Bj tin reporting their goods. "And
bringing in sheaves:" Into the city,
and into the other walled towns, "Wine,
grapes and figs:" For storageand sale.
This required a large working force,
and tempted the people to buy and trade
on the Sabbath.
3. By the ordinary business and trsf
flo through foreigners, who had no care
for the Sabbath. V. 1C. "There dwelt
men of Tyre, also therein:" That is, hi
the city, Jerusalem. Devoted to com
merer, they had formed a little settle
ment in Judea for the sale of their mer
chandise, fish (they were a maritime
people) and other things. Prof. Toy.
"Sold on the Sabbath unto the chil
dren of Judah," who were so contam
inated by their henthen neighbors as to
yield to the temptation to buy.
The Evil Effects of Sabbath-Breaking
V. 17. "What evil thing Is this that
ye do?" What they did was evH for
themselves and for their children.
III. Nehemlah Makes a Sabbath I!e
form. Vs. 17-22. First. Uereproved the
leaders, lie did not reprove tho weak and
let the rich and Strong do as they would.
V. 17. "I contended I " Argued and used
bis official authority. "With the nobles:"
The higher classes, the people of prom
inence and influence, who were the most
to blame, since they had better knowl
edge and fuller control of their time,
ami who could have the most influence
In favoring or opposiug the reform.
Second. Be warns them from their
own past history. V. 18. "Did not your
fathers thus?" Why wns Jerusalem
destroyed? Where had the nation been
carried into captivity ? Why were they
now weak and poor and scattered? Let
the prophets answer. One reason was
that their fathers had refused to obey
God's Sabbath lnws. A broken Sabbath,
was the answer (Jer. 17:27; Ezek.0:13.
See also Isa. 58:13, 14).
Third. lie Exercises His Authority.
V. 19. "Began to be dark before the
Sabbath:" At sunset of the previous
day, because their Sabbath began then.
"The gates should be shut ns usual,
only they "should not be opened till
after the Sabbath." "My servants set I
Jot the gates:" His own armed body
guard, whom he could trust. "That
there should be no burden brought in:"
"Foot passengers were, no doubt, al
lowed to enter and leave the city on the
Sabbath." I'ulpit Com. V. 20. "So the
merchants:" Not believing that the
command would be strictly enforced.
"Lodged:" Camped outside the walls,
waiting for the gates to be opened on
Sabbath morning, as formerly. V. 21.
"I testified against them:" Bebuking,
commanding. V. 22. "I commanded the
Levites:" The "Levites" would be mere
appropriate keepers of the city gall's
on the Sabbath day than his servants,
for whom he, no (Ibubt, hnd other uses.
The Levites were therefore ordered to
"cleanse themselves" that is, to purify
themselves from ceremonial unclean
ncss, and come and attend o guurding
the gates on the Sabbath day as a reli--gious
duty, as indeed it was; for it was
to sanctify the Sabbath day, to keep it
sacred, to save it from violation and
profanation by the trafficking of the
people. Prof. Toy.
Ban's Horn Wrinkles.
Growth makes the glad Christian. ,
The engine may be built in a day, but
It takes years to perfect the engineer.
God may deny you many toys, bnt He
will certainly give you the kingdom.
There was more dancing over the
golden calf than over two tables of
stone.
A man is best known by what he does
when he thinks nobody is looking at
him.
Many who profess to follow Christ,
sre willing that tbeir brothers should
lose life rather than that they should
tacrine liberty.
