which most likely would prove sadden-
ing 10 her-but She could not az once
bring herself 10 do this.
While she was debating the subject
In her mind the crisis came.
A storm had been sweeping over the
Bahamas. "a vessel was going to pieces
upon the reef. Muriel was out upon
the wave-washcd shore. her eyes
bright, and her cheeks rosy with ex-
citement. Her golden-brown hair had
been loosened By the driving wind.
and she was that rare but delicious
creature. woman beautiful when she
Is mature.
Norman Van Ness was by her side.
and Muriel expressed a wish To row
out near 10 the lifc-saying boats which
were battling with the waves and over
laden with human beings whom they
had rescued I'm "A half-drowned state.
''Let me be your boatman." pleaded
Van Ness. and Muriel could not re-
press her thoughts which whispered TO
her Of that long-forgotten night when
her husbands murderer had been her
boatman.
The strong man took his place at
the oars. Out over the waters thes
rowed together, the dreadful past
rising SO strong before the woman that
she had no thought of the man SO near
her.
"Mntiel." said he In low voice,
"Muriel-Muriel, love You, but
hayo no right TO say these words 10

that might be Ralph Resseguie?"

Yes. it Is /, married man and "a
murderer; but still love you, Muriel. y
And love YOU" she said In a tone
Of despair.
They were nearing the life-boats
now, and ono OF the crew shouted:
Ivan Ness, we cannot go back Just
Yet, and here are a man and woman
who need immediate attention, il they
are not already dead. We will put
them in your boat, and YOU can take
them ashore"
Ready hands laid the dripping bodies
in the bottom of the boat, and with
strong strokes and avcrted head,

When they were nearing land he
glanced for the first time AT his burden.
MY God, my wife!' lac cried.
And Fred Warner said Muriel
with a thrill Of relief and horror.
IL was true. Fred Warner had not
died, and the deed which had made
these two wanderers upon the face of
the earth had been farce, after all.
The days Of the guilty pair on earth
were numbered. Mabel Resscguie
never recovered consciousness. Fred
Warner lived few days-long enough
to ask the forgiveness of the two he
had wronged, and then expired.
Ralph Resseguie and Muriel Warner
were married and returned Go Muricl's
old home, where, in the sunshine OF
happiness, the dark days of their lives
were forgotten.

tions and wrecked the navy. The coed
work of other years In organization and
plan has been saved and perfected the old
hulks are no longer required to masquer-
ade q, war ships, and the department is
trying hard to remedy the blunders of
the designers of the unwieldy and obsolete
monitors by giving them as heavy armor
as they can carry, and guns of formidable
power. But building navy nowadays Is
slow work.
Eight Of our new vessels are now afoat,
the Dolphin, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Yorktown, vesuvius, Charleston, and
Baltimore. Only two-the Dolphin and
Boston--are in condition for service. The
Atlanta and Chicago are ready with the
exception Of their batteries, but 1t will
be months before the others will be ready.
The Democratic secretary Of the navy
has won the respect of friends and enc.
mics, and hts Republican predecessors
have yet to explain the gross mismanage'
me1t that had next to nothing to show
for an expenditure Of s7O,0Oo,0oo since
the close Of the war.
The story Of the Tennessee Is probably
the best explanation Of where the moDel
went. This vessel cost the government
for building, rebuilding and repairs, %,
100000 In round figures and after atou
ten years of sea service was condemned
and sold for s34,525.
