Vandegriff's: fall had been premedi-

credence to it. 1t was regarded as
one of those unlucky happenings
which often rob the expected OF it's
fulfillment. When young West re-
turned to look after his sister, Mildred,
he found her with flushed face and
tears in her eyes. Mat Dunstrow, the
brother of the victor, was in the box
with her. The captain of the "Benares'
was not far away receiving the con-
gratulations of a beautiful, naughty
girl in pink, between WHOM and Mill

How did it happen?" ruefully asked
Mildred. as her brother approa ched.
Sold out!" whispered the latter in
return. "We've been mistaken in him,
after ALL"
The words stung the girl to the
quick. She could not believe that her
beau IDEAL the man she loved. had
been guilty of such thing. But the
evidence seemed against him. Frank
West W as amcng those who had heard
him make that promise to Mat on the
night before the game: "l'll do it. you
may depend upon it," Mat was the
victor's brother. and the hero of the
gridiron had always been an ardent
admirer of Claudine Pratt, the. girl in
pink. She was as anxious for him to
win the game, as Mildred was for
Charlie. Why should the latter throw
away the victory, unless. it was for
money? TO Frank this seemed clear,
for he was very near Vandegriff. when
the latter by that unfortunate STUN

down the coast to the eastward. This
looked like business-just what every

cleared for action with rush and we
stood by our guns, peeping through
open ports into the inky blaclness,

The Iowa. lying astern of us, opened
up on the shore with her siN-pounders.
This was too much for one of our or

and he let drive a port six-pounder
without orders. 1t was our first gun.

vigorous wigwagging of lights made us
aware of the fact.
Still, there was nothing to be seen
save the light moving along swiftly, a
strange proceeding for torpedo boat.
In order to be in it, the Massachusetts
fired a six-inch at the light, and it went
out. All hands concluded that this shot
had put the enemy out Of commission,

Several weeks,ago General Merriam
was ordered to Hawaii for the purpose
Of examining sites for the establish
ment OF large camp in the vicinity OF
Honolulu. His report has been receiv-
ed at the War Department and Merri-
am says that suitable camp can be
provided near Honolulu, for the quar-
tering of several thousand men, and
he gives full description of the site
which he has selected for the proposed
camp. When Merriam started for Ha-
wall the Administration believed con-
fidently that 1t would be found wise to
dispatch the whole force of regulars
and volunteers now at the Preside
barracks, San Francisco. to Honolulu,
there to await the call for more men
for Manila. Within the last two days,
however, information received from
Manila has been Of such reassuring q
nature that 1t has been definitely de-
cided to send no more troops from the
Pacific Coast either directly to Manila
or to the proposed reserve camp at
