CHAPTER VIII.

Thaddeus Braddon's best developed
faculty was that of holding has peace
and letting matters take their course,
especially where women were con.
cerned. II was enough for him that the
two who represented all the world TO
him were well married. He started FOR
Europe with his daughter, and Stanton
reached San Francisco none the wiser
for what the old banker knew.
The young lawyer had almost a week
TO dispose Of before the sailing Of the
steamer. The thought of it was hor-
riblc. He knew no one. He did not
wish TO know anyone. III he had seen
n familiar face approaching he would
have fed from IT,
He was unknown in California, and
the common civilities accorded to a
stranger were responded to by him so
coldly that they were rarely repeated.
Very soon he found himself in his ideal
condition of being let alone. And yet
ii was not his ideal.
He called in vain on common sense
to help him. lie upbraided himself.
lie denounced himself. Pm making
an idiotic fool of myself" he groaned.
But between fact and philosophy the
unfortunate shuttlecock was merciless-
ly battledoored, while very common
disease developed, in accordance with
very we'll known laws.
If he could only have realized that
he was desperately in love, the case
would have promised much more salts
factory recovery. He insisted upon
considering his symptoms the upheav-
ais OF remorse for having cruelty
wronged woman. He felt that she
must despise him.
He knew that she was his wife.
A few business kilograms arrived and
were quickly answered. A few friend
ly inquiries were forwarded, and were
utterly ignored. A letter came from
DIR. Borden, requiring a reply, and
Stanton struggled with II.
The good doctor wrote:
my Dear Boy: Il trusted you that
night, and / trust you still, but am
greatly troubled by reports and lack Of
facts. II you led me into marrying you
to n blank, amply that you might Sc
cure your uncle's fortune (however
wise that step might bel, You betrayed
my love for you. IL was crime. III
she was n woman whom you nre
ashamed TO acknowledge, j have still
done you an injury rather than which
! would willingly have sacrificed both
my hands,"
II shall land in the insane asylum be-
fore the steamer starts" Stanton
groaned, as he walked the room with
DIR. Borden's letter in his hand.
Passing a mirror he paused, folded
his arms. and stood, for lime, calmly
looking into IL.
Robert stanton, you are n disgrace
to humanity" he muttered. Throwing
himself down at the table, he wrote
TO DIR. Borden.
II am leaving for Japan, and must
answer you briefly. You did not marry
me 20 blank or 60 n woman am
ashamed to acknowledge. She was pre-.
cisely what / represented, true wom-
an, and would that were as worthy
OF my wife as she is OF me-"

rice were to be dispatched from Shang-

out of Central China. There is great
danger that an immense swarm of rob-

OUR NAVY IS SHORI Of MEN
SHIPS ONLY HALF MANNED
The Service Is Badly Handicapped for
shield. i'm His Report, Makes Start
ling statements 10 the Depart
ment.

Washington, Nov 13.@The startling
statement is made in the report of Ad-
miral Crowninshield. chief of the navi-
CATION bureau, that the present per-
sonnet OF the navy would form barely
one-fourth of the total establishment
necessary to fight frst-class European
power.
1t barely sufficed for the Spanish war
and no longer can be considered. the
report says, as an effective nucleus
ABOUT which a larger establishment
could be formed in case of war.
Inc admiral regards this need of the
navy for officers and men as most urg-
ent. He says that the bureau can point
10 many cases where the service is be-
ing harmed by lack of officers. The
naval academy is suffering for want of
instructors, and the present high
standard of training can not be main
tanned. Every bureau in the depart-
ment is short of officers. and the SER
vice, the reports predicts. soon will fall
behind In the struggle-first. for lead
ership, and then for quality with the
other services. The disability of the
sea-going corps of officers is greatly in
creased since the Spanish war. and
many of the best officers are being lost
as a result of breaking down from
overwork
The admiral severely criticises the
ineffective effort of congress at the last
session to meet immediate needs for
officers by authorizing the employment
OF retired officers, and he demands the
immediate repeal of that act. He
claims that the retired list, intended
as reward for faithful service. other
wise becomes a hardship and a punish
ment. The personnel act thus far has
resulted in affording less officers than
were on the active list before it's pas
sage, as while authorizing an increase
1t failed to provide the means there
for, so there are now 131 vacancies in
the list of naval officers, when vacan-
cies can be the least afforded. There
fore it is recommended for the next 10
years that appointments to the naval
academy be doubled, the president and
representatives in congress appointing
two instead of enc wherever authorized
now, and in addition senators being
given the same privilege of appoint
ment as representatives
