The fact that daddy Letter has bor-
rOweG between three and four million
dollars, giving satisfactory security and
has given notice that he would want as
muc. more later, shows that "Joe's''

In the return of Lieut.. Hobson and
his brave half dozen to their own one of
the most interesting incidents IN history
is CLOSED In romance, pure and
simple, such an incident would have
proven engrossingly interesting. In
fact. and on the duller pages in history
the thing stands out big, bright and
significant. While in reality Hobson
did not accomplish all that he set out to
do nor all that he thought he had done,
his act was none the less bold and
