The liberal use of aluminium in the con-
structionofthe Defenderhas beenpracticalIy
settled. The expert boat builders in
Boston have been doing a good deal of
figuring as to the advantage to be gained by
so general and unprecedented use of this
costly material as it is row evident is
included in the plans. The estimates, of
course, are made with reference to the
gain to be secured in the matter OF weight,
and the best authorities who have given
study to the subject agree in placing the
gain at somewhere between four and seven
tons. In other words, the use of aluminium
bronze for the sides above the water line
and for the floor beams will render the
Defender from four TO seven tons lighter
than would any other suitable material
employed for the same purposes. In just
this point of weight alone, therefore,
the Defender win have an advantage
which is of almost incalculable value and
which it is difficult for any one but an
expert yacht designer and builder ade-
quately to appreciate.
Tom Parrott prideS himself on hisslow ball,
although last season whenever he tried to
use it the cry would go up from all parts
OF the field. Put that one in your yaIise,
Tom, and keep it there" In practice
Parrott pitched to Captain Ewing just
after he started to work. Buck remarked
to him: "a blind man could tell what
kind or ball you were going to pitch
before the bail leaves your hand" ''Is
that So" said Tom, aDgrily. ''Well, you
can'thit 'em, if you can tell what am going
to pitch" Cant I? Well. just put 'em
up and I'll show you,'' said the captain,
with a smile on his face.
Tom put 'em up and the captain put 'em
out with hair on them. They went sizzling
to all parts OF the lot. Finally red-hot
liner from Ewing's bat caught Parrott flush
on the calf of the leg. Now, will you
st-3 that slow ball gag?" said Ewing
well, I'll try and see if 1 can get along
without it," replied P rrott. Get
along without it? Why, that was the only
thing that Queered you last season. Stick
to your speed and your curves and sheive
your slow ball, and you'll be all right this
year, was Captain Ewing's parting shot,
A gentleman who is well posted in foot
ball matters and knows just what is going

floor about the bed, and when he tried to
grab one nothing was there. You may
be assured Col. Jagson was badly fright
ened at the effects of his over-indulgence,
and from that day to this he has not
tasted liquor OF any kind"
But the exclamation, my dear Mrs.
Jagson.' cried the excited Mrs Soake

go back to drinking again. 1t was this
way: You see, I'd been having the col

fancied, you know, that the bed might
have some Of those little pests lurking
in the crevices, so l told the girl to use
phosphorus powder and she carelessly
let some sift onto the carpet. OF course
in the dark it shone bright and that is ali
there is to the eyes that haunted the
colonel"
Just phosphorus bedbug powder" ex-
claimed the wife of the Old gUardsman
who had not stopped slipping the cheering
bowl in more than forty years. Just
think of it, Broken from habit of so
long a time by % cents worth of bedbug
poison! l shall 90 and get some mmedi-

Thus bubbling with eagerness the little
woman rushed into the chill atmosphere
of the outer world and into the arms Of
II.
So the secret was told to one more and was
received again with rapture.
Things began to look sad for the Old
Guard. With these determined women on
the trail and one man already in captive
chains, red eye Bourbon and applejack
were doomed. The next day, when the
group of old-timers We're gathered for the
morning nips, Gen. Soake said to the
waiter:
Guess I'll have some apollinars; don't
feel very well to-day"
Jagson's ginger ale habit was a shock
Soake falling a victim to the mineral
water habit was calamity, but when
Mai Everfull calmly, but with a CULVER in
his voice, said. 'Vichy please" the bottom
dropped out Of everything.
Everfull sighed and put his hand
YEARLY to his eyes, as though to blot out
some horrible sight. Jagson leaned for
ward and gazed at the major and Gen.
Soake seemed fascinated by the trivial ac-
ton Of his friend. One moment was given
TO thought. and then Jagson blurted Que:

Thus encouraged, the general looked
from the major TO the colonel. and then
from the colonel to the major and In a
hoarse whisper breathed:

This action brought dismay The Old
Guards ranks were already depleted.
Only four now rendeZvoused daily, and
Jagsons detection meant more to the sur
vivors than can well be understood by
outsiders.
Nevertheless, despite all the efforts of
entreaty and solicitous inquiry, the colo
mel remained a total abstainer. He came
daily to join his comrades, to gossip and
swap stories, but never once, says the
New York Sun, did he betray, by word or
sign, the reason that led him to abjure
the wine when it was red or the bowl
when it was flowing.
Thus affairs ran on. The Old Guard
was troubled, and Col Jagson looked
worried and acted like a man overbur-
dened with serious thoughts and finan-
cial disorder. The fear that Col Jagson
was caught in the financial stringency
induced Gen. SOake to take his wife into
his confidence. With that tact and intuition
that are womans chief charms she went
at once to call on Mrs Jagson, and with
the usual result-she got the root of the
trouble in short order. Mrs. Jagson was
positively radiant. The colonel was al
ways sober the HOUSEHOLD allowance had
been increased, the table bore more deli
cacies of the season, her wardrobe and
bonnets were new, and Mrs. Jagson be-
gan 10 think that the declining years Of
her married state would be happier than
the earlier period.
And how did il all come about2' quoth
Mrs Soake. Now Mrs. Jagson knew that
Mrs Soake has suffered from the same
rivalry that she herself endured, and that
soft pity to which femininity is so prone
swept over her, and she gave the cause
of the reformation away to her friend.
You know, my dear Mrs. Soake,' began
Mrs. Jagson, "the colonel came home Just
