time Of Catherine de- Medlci, when pco-
pie found 1t necessary to sway others
secretly to their will. He told her how
the astrologers used to make figures of
wax or any substance that would melt
readily and then destroy the person
piecemeal by piercing the cfigy Mt
whatever part they wished to affect.
While she was thinking Of this she
was looking idly from her window at
the boys Of the military academy, who
had erected a snow fort, on the top Of
dered snow man. When they complet-
ed the figure, they placed a military
cap on It's head and attached to it n
placard bearing the name Lieutenant
Holloway" Here was a figure that
would surely be melted in n few days.
and 1t was ready to her hand! OF
course she did not wish to destroy her
hero, but she was very anxious that
his hardened heart should be material
ly affected, and what she should do at
once became clear to her.
On the following afternoon Lieuten-
ant Holloway was passing the snow
fort on his way to the postofice. He
stopped to view the Notifications, in
tending to give his pupils a lecture on
military engineering, and presently he
noticed the placarded effigy of him
self. 1t was rapidly melting in the
afternoon sunlight, and while looking
at it idly he noticed something pierre
Ing it under the left shoulder just
. where its frosty heart should be. Step
ping nearer, he pulled out an arrow
which he at once recognized as one Of
half a dozen that he had made for
Gladys little brother, and finding 1t
there perplexed him. He knew hat the
little man was one of his most ardent
admirers and besides not wishing to
do him injury would not wish to lose
his arrow. While he turned it over
in his hand the truth suddenly flashed
on him. He remembered having told
Gladys about the superstition Of be-
witching by eftigies, and the foolish
little mink had evidently acted upon
it. Laughing softly to himself, he put
the arrow in his pocket and went his
way.
That evening Gladys was both sur
prised and delighted when the servant
brought to her Lieutenant Halloway's
card. But of course it would not do to
let him know that she was glad to see
him. Anyway he was under the in
fluence Of the spell, and, being sure of
him, she cosld afford to punish him
somewhat before consenting to make
him happy. SummOning all her state
Illness she went to the parlor and bow
ed stifiiy In response to her visitors
CHEEKY greeting. He had been think
Ing the matter over ever since finding
the arrow and was glowing with self
satisfaction owing to the conviction
that she really loved him after all. But
her GOODNESS disconnected him a trife.
OF course the evidence was solely cir
cumstantial, but still he didn't feel
that he could possibly be mistaken.
II thought that you had forgotten
your old friends" she began.
"Not at ALL" he replied. II was SIM

Actual Fleets at Sea Are Not on sub
siantial War Footing.
An efficient navy Is essential above
all else for England. owing to her in
sular position. the adoption OF free
trade, the extinction OF British agricul-
ture and the vital necessity OF free
access for our ships when going to and
fro on the wide common OF the sea-
says a London correspondent in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. The first
element Of efficiency in a fleet is its
readiness to fight. Naval war ia din
erentiated from the war on land by
quality and suddenness. When the
next maritime var breaks out between
two maritime powers the world will
get a surprise One Of the other Of
them will strike a blow similar In kind
to the blow struck BY Admiral Dewey
against the ships OF the Spaniards in
Manila bay. In spite, however, OF the
lessons recorded on the page Of Eng
lish history, our principal British fleets
are ret ready for action. They are
deficient in essentials. No addition TO
the building programme, no increase
to the number Of men. no voting Of
millions by a legislature bewlldered BY
the complexlty and number Of the prob
lens with which It has TO deal, viii
have any beneficial effect on the next
maritime war until the fleets actually
at sea are made ready for action. Com

Mediterranean fleet and the channel
squadron should be placed on a war
footing without loss OF time. whatever
economy may be necessary in other di-
rections
