man. He offered me a mortgage, but it
never came"
eff you see the shine of that money
again, you are lucky" Then looking at
Jasper: my patient is upset again.
thought the air was TOO strong for him.
He must be carried in. He is going into
a fit
Jasper was leaning back against the
wall, with dstended eyes, and hands and
teeth clenched as with a spasm.
NO" said Jasper family, Il am not in
fit"
At that moment Barbara came out, and
at once noticed the condition of the con-
valescent.
Here" said she, clean on me as you
did coming out. This has been too much
for you. Will you help me, Doctor?'
"Thank you," said Jasper. eff Miss
Joradan will suffer me to rest on her arm,
/ will return to my ROOM"
When he was back in his armchair and
the little room he had occupied, Barbara
looked earnestly in his face and said,
"What has troubled you? l am sure
something has"
Il am very unhappy" he answered,
'but you must ask me no questions"
The slight disturbance had not altered
the bent Of Mr.. .Jordan's thoughts. When

not believe that l ran any risk with the
money. The man to whom l lent it is
honorable. Besides, 1 have his note of

A rough, large leather pocketbook that

stopped and took it up. He examined it
attentively and uttered an exclamation
of surprise.
"Well," said the surgeon, mockingly;
's the money come, dropped from the

breath, "but this is most extra ordinary,

/ Naval Constructor Hobson and his n1en won
undying fame.
The report deals next with the seizure
of the harbor of Guantanamo and the gal
liant three days fight of the marines; WIN
the conveying of the Shafter expedition
from Tampa to Santiago, and with the
conferences that took place between Shat
fer and Sampson in the effort to secure
cooperation of the army and navy l1l tne
reduction of Santiago. The story OF tle
operations at this stage involves the re-
eitaI of the destruction of the Spanish
fleet which is told, however, in the most
concise official form.
One fact disclosed by the history OF the
DAYS before the surrender of Santiago Is
that Sampson asked to- be represented IN
any conference held to arrange the terms
of surrender of Santiago by virtue of the
fact that he had engaged in the joint OPP
erations. Shafter replied that he should
be- glad to. have Sampson represented, but
the surrender took place before his rep
resentatiye could reach the camp. Ad-
miral SIMPSONS chief of staff did az
rive before the final articles were signed,
but Shafter declined to permit him to be
one of the signatories.
The most important chapter Of the re-
port is that relating to the increase OF the
navy, and under this head the Secretary
transmits and indorses the report OF the
naval board of bureau chiefs looking to
the increase of the navy by no less than
fifteen Ships some of the most poWerfui'
character. The Secretary says:
The navy should be increased; the devel-
opment of its various branches should be
homogeneous, and the increase in ships
should be accompanied by a gradual ln-
crease in officers and men and in naval sta
lions, coaling stations, repair plants, etc.

GOOD MAIL SERVICE IN WAR.
Chief Subject in the Annual Report
of the Postmaster General.


The most interesting review of the
postal service for some years, owing to its
operations in military and naval fields, is
the report of Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith 1t tells of the work ac-
complished and policies adopted in terrific
rial acquisitions. The Postmaster Gen
eral says:
The war entaied the necessity of mill
tary postal service, and prompt measures
were required for handling the mails of an
army of 250, 900 men. Large postofices were
suddenly created at the camps of concen-
tration, the eXigencies of constant changes
and movements were met, and the military
and naval forces on active service IN the
West Indies and Philippines had prompt
and constant postal communication with
home. Trained clerks were detailed from
available points. Railway mail cars were
stationed at convenient points on side
tracks as pOStOflceS.
When our troops advanced into Cuba the
postal service advanced with them. When
Santiago surrendered Postal Agent Eben
Brewer took possession of the postoffice of
that city, which was made the military post
office. Now there are four deliveries in the
business portion of Santiago City and regu-
lar mail communication has been established
with Havana and intermediate seaports and
with Jamaica and other West India Islands.
Service also has been extended into Santa
go province. The postal service accompan-
lea our nag TO HOFIo hlco DFoH romeo IL
was extended as rapidly as different places
passed into our possession until now there
are twelve military postal stations there
having postal connections with many small
er places. In the Philippines two military
postal stations have been established at Ma
Mia and Cavite, supervised by a veteran d.
vision superintendent detailed from San
Francisco, and conducted by force of rail
way mail and postoffice clerks and agents,
assisted by details from the army of occu-
patton. The acquisition of Hawaii has not
thus far been followed by any change in our
postal relations with that country. Hawaii
already has good mail service which is
more than self-sustaining
Postmaster General Smith Calls atten-
ton to the rapid growth of the postal bust
