"You are right" Harry said, with de-
termination. Il must turn all my bat

more easy to track than the mysterious
lady"
So giving Maria Wilkins his address,
that she might telegraph him in case of
her seeing or hearing anything more of
Wanda's abductors, he returned to
London inspired with some small en-
enlargement. Surely some one would
know something of this remarkable
man, who was evidently occupying a
prominent place in society.

mountings from. lie felt sure it was
memento of some decayed fortunes.
NOW, sir, what can do for you?"
Harry thought a moment; then re-
solved to tell his story from first to
last. He had told it so often that it
had now assumed logical consecutive
narrative, without the suppression of
single salient point.
The little old man sat with his head
on one side like a jackdaw, grinning
with intense interest, but never inter-
rupting by single movement or exela-
nation.
At last the tale was told. Still the
doctor sat silently putting at his pipe
''Do you see any ray of light?" Ilar-
ry asked at last, anxiously.
"Ray The whole dawn of day

As he spoke he went to his bookshelf,
took down massive volume, carefully
busted it, rapidly turned over its leaves
and, having found what he was search
ing for, placed the ponderous tome on
the table in front of Harry and said
Read! Your eyes are younger than
mine. Read it aloud"
Evesham saw at glance that the
volume was ''Burke's Peerage." and at
once proceeded to do as he was bid, at
first listlessly, then with rapidly in
creasing interest.

He stood gazing at it, struck dumb
with amazement; for there before him
was the most perfect likeness of the
idol of his heart-his darling Wanda.
"Ah." Forester exclaimed, '.you are

GENERAL RUGERs REPORT.

Department of California.

Improved Conditions Prevailing in the
Department of California.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-General Ru-
ger, commanding the department OF
California, in his annual report, says
the conditions prevailing in the depart
ment since his last annual report have
been such that no active operations
have been required. Troops were sent
to the Round Valley indian reservation
to remove intruders, and also to the Ma
tional, Yosemite and Sequoia parks
to protect them from trespass.
Good progress in general instrucc--
tion has been made at all
the posts in the department during the
year, due in considerable part to the in
stitution of more comprehensive and
systematic methods under the new reg
ulations. Within the past few years
there has been an increase in the pro-
portion of young officers who take inter-
est in professional duties of the higher
order, and the working OF post lyceums,
properly directed, will have an effect to
encourage officers inclined to study.
During the past year there has been an
increase in the number Of desertions
over the previous year, although the
percentage is not so great as for some OF
the previous years.

WHY Is THIS THUS ?

Contracts for Naval Armor and Gun
Steel Not Promptly Filled.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The navy de-
partment is very much displeased with
the inadequate deliveries of structural
armor and gun steel by the two corpora
tions holding contracts to supply the
metal for the construction OF new veg
sells, and it is felt that they may be en-
barrassed when it applies to congress
for money to continue the formation of
the American navv, by the fact
that sufficient domestic steel can
not be procured to prosec6te the
work in hand with due celebrity. The
deliveries are now, and have been Tor
some time, much below the contract re-
quirements. The departments is now de-
termined to bring the contractors to
time, and notices will be sent at once
that the promises made when the con-
tracts were signed must be filed, and
the steel brought up to the contract re-
quirements. The contractors will be
dealt with strictly according to the terms
of the documents.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 13.-During to-
days session of the grand lodge of Ma
sons, the members of the judiciary
committee made report upon the prop
osition for establishing a widows and
orphans home, which had been referred
to them for their opinion upon the legal
points involved The report was to the
effect that the plans for the erection and
maintenance of the Institution
were strictly in accord with the laws
of the order and the state. In conse-
quence of this report, the finance com.
mittee is to appropriate $4,000 from the
funds OF the grand lodge, which will be
added to the $4,000 already received
from various sources. That the work
may be pushed forward without undue
delay, the matter of the selection of the
site is to be left to the grand trustees,
with no limitation, other than that the
home shall be located somewhere in the
vicinity of San Francisco.
