After cruising about in northern watt rs for more than a week, during which time he overhauled several small fry of British shipping, Hull, still seeking big game, finally turned Old Ironsides southward. About two oclock on the afternoon of August 19 the look-ou- t reported a sail on the horizon, Hull immediately gave chase to the stranger and at half past three discovered that it was a British frigate. Sailing to within a league to the leeward of the enemy, Hull shortened sail, cleared decks for action, hoisted the American flag, beat to quarters and bore down on the enemy to bring her to close combat Seeing this action the enemy ship also prepared for action and when the Englishman had hoisted three ensigns Hull saw to his joy that his adversary was the one ship he had been seeking, the Guerriere. Captain Dacres opened the engagement with a broadside of grapeshot filled away and sent In another broadside on the other tack. On account of the distance which separated the adversaries, however, neither broadside took effect For the next hour the two vessels maneuvered much In the manner of two boxers, each trying to get in a position to rake the other with Its gunfire and at the same time avoid being raked. Finally the Guerriere began to draw off with the Constitution in close pursuit, trying to bring the fight to close quarters. At last about six oclock In the evening the Englishman took a position that Indicated he was willto yarding to engage in a yard-ararm fight and Hull closed in until the bows of the Constitution doubled the quarter of the Guerriere. From the moment that the American ship had begun to close In on the enemy the fire of the English guns had begun to strike Old Ironsides. Lieutenant Morris, Hulls second in command, became Impatient and, going to his commander, asked permission to open fire. Not yet, was Hulls quiet response. Nearer and nearer the two warships drew together and again Morris repeated his request only to receive the same quiet Not yet. Gentle Hint ?!ofdy he drew away from her. His arms dropped to his side.

In all the brilliant record of this wonderful old warship there is no incident more thrilling thnn the story of her duel with the proud ship which bore On her calls In letters red. Words of warning, words of dread: All who meet me have a care! I am Englands Guerriere! On August 2, 1812, the Constitution, commanded by Capt Isaac Hull, sailed from Boston in the hope of falling In with some of the British war vessels which were supposed to be lying in wait for American shipping along the Atlantic coast from Nantucket to Halifax. Hull was especially anxious to meet the Guerriere, commanded by Capt James Richard Dacres, who had sent word to American commanders that his ship was not the Little Belt (a reference to the dispute between the two nations over who had been the aggressor in the engagement in which the American ship. President, almost destroyed the British ship, Little Belt, before war had been de- by Western Newspaper Union.) r Line upon line, precept upon precept.

But the men of the Guerriere had not been idle. The two ships were now within half a pistol shot of each other and the Englishmans guns were pounding the American vessel. But for every blow that he dealt he received two In return. Within fifteen minutes the Guerrleres mlzzen-mas- t was shot away, her main yard was in slings and her hull, spars, sails and rigging were torn to pieces by the hall of metal from the Constitution. The Britisher brought up in the wind as the mlzzen-mas- t gave way and the Constitution passed slowly ahead, poured in a tremendous fire, luffed short around the bows of the enemy to prevent being raked, but fell foul of the Guerriere, her bowsprit running into the lnrboard quarter of the enemy ship. At this moment the cabin of the Constitution was set on tire by the forward guns of the Englishman but the flames were put out quickly. As the two vessels lay locked for a moment, each side attempted to board the other. Fierce volleys of musketry amid the roar of the big guns added to the horror of the scene. The Americans who were attempting to board the enemy were led by Lieutenant Morris, Master Alwyn and Lieutenant Bush of the Marines. Morris and Alwyn were severely wounded and Bush was shot down. Before the Americans could accomplish their purpose, the sails of the Constitution were filled and she shot ahead and clear of the enemy ship.

But unsuspected unfaithfulness In both the affections and ones line of duty are often expressed in a very Interesting twist to the writing with undulating curves, as in the specimen above. Like a snake in the grass they go under the writing onto the next letter, or approach it. Words that dwindle away Into almost nothing before the word is finished denote evasiveness. Evasiveness and secretiveness, as well as unsuspected unfaithfulness In a person often go hand in hand. Therefore we find the secretively unfaithful person tying his os, as or ds Into Impehetrable little loops, leaving no opportunity for others to jump that loop. with deliberately People who obscure strokes, not caused by haste are usually making an effort In their lives to likewise be obscure. Another Interesting sign of secretiveness, though not necessarily a sign of unfaithfulness is the crossing of the t bar directly over the top, as though to close all possibility of anyone else getting to the t bar.
