Gala in "the hole and leaves Schley
on the great war cruiser Massachusetts,
with the great guns The Post states
that he Krag-Jorgensen rine could
throw a shell beyond eight miles and
cit has been our proud boast that the
United States marksmen have no su-
periors in the world" But If McCalla
is right and tells h whole truth and
nothing but the truth there has been
a mistake somewhere. The Post puts
the case in his wise:
Here comes the battling mystery.
Captain McCalla t~estifies tina the
short. and in h next breath declares
hat h Spanish shells passed beyond
u ships and fell on the other side OF
the line. No amount OF inquisition by
the attorneys for the prosecution in
duced him to modify this statement.
Not having part in the action, and be-
ing, therefore, at leisure to make his
observations with care and GOODNESS,
Captain McCalla may be supposed TO
know what he is talking about.
If McCalla's testimony is TO be X
seriously. IL must be accepted as a vim
dication of Schley against all charges
of timidity or indecision on the 31st or
May, 1898. The implication of inefh-
cheney on the part of our big guns n
their marksmen We refer to the de-
partment and the naval officers con-
cerned.
The jury might take h case after
such evidence as McCalla gave. The
latest is that Sampson is now anxious
to testify. His request was refused.
With him silence" may prove "gol-
den." There is another thing that
should not be overlooked in a survey of
the evidence. 1t is the d~iscordant notes
of the militant choir. The enemies OF
Schley have not made their envious
and hostile evidence harmonious. The
Post sees this, and thinks this fact dis
can but suspect that all the notes OF
evidence were we'll studied and COM
pared, and hence the p~ertinacity of
purpose to destroy Schley. But like
c~onspirators they failed to discern the
want of agreement. The Post says
and it may give correct conclusions:
THE witnesses have as a rule been
manifestly hostile to Schley, but they
have as manifestly spoken from honest
conviction as individuals, for no two
Of them agreed upon any really essen
tial point. 1t was un~pleasantly obvious
that the attorneys for the prosecution
sought by every means to bring about
a concordance. The fact remains
though, that the result is a most sign1-
fcant discord."

Well, don't try then" laughed Tom. That's all right MT, Christy. You know I'm to be blamed for the accident"
 Timothy shut his lips tightly and said nothing. When they reached home he said to Nellie, II really wanted to ask favor of Mrs. Rogers. But I can call.
 Nellie looked at her father curiously but made no reply.
 Timothy did call the next day. His excuse was that he wanted to know what that wonderful tonic was that Mrs. Rogers had given him.
 ''Why, didn't you recognize it7" said Mrs. Rogers. |" I suppose. of course, you knew what it was. It's Johann Hoff's Malt Extract. It has been a standby ill our family for years
 Timothy ordered case that very day, and before the week was out called again upon Mrs. Rogers to tell her how very much good it was doing him.
 Actually" he said, "I sleep and eat as l have not done for years. l don't know when I've felt so young. l met several of the old boys down town this morning, and they ali asked me what had happened to me. And one of tllem called me Tim just as if was one of the boys
 As Timothy drank his glass of Johann Hoff's Malt Extract before dinner an evening or two later he said, Nellie, when did you say you and Tom Rogers are to be married ?"
 And Nellie could do nothing but throw her arms around her fathers neck and cry, "Oh, papa dear!"
 We'll, you want to hurry up about it." said Timothy batting her cheek" or Mrs. Rogers and I will get ahead of you. We're going to have wed- ding of our own one of these days"
 A few moments later Nellie was at the phone calling up the Rogers residence.
 1T know about it." shouted Tom at the other end of the line. Didn't tell you what the old man needed was a good, hard jar?"
 II think, said Mrs. Rogers, who heard Toms end of the conversation, If you are referring to Mir. Christy, you mistake. It was not a jar he needed, but bottle of Johann Hoff s Malt Extract to get his digestion in order and to make him sound in body and 1nind.'

 In about seven seconds Tom was out, and had the old gentleman up in his arms and carried into the Rogers family residence, before the witnesses of the accident fully realized what had happened.
 Toms mother pointed to couch and then turned to the telephone to summon a surgeon. BeforeDr. Black arrived, however, Timothy opened his eyes and started to open his mouth, i but anticipating general growl, both Tom and his mother enjoined silence, and for the first time in his life. Timothy did as he was ordered.
 "There are Io bones broken" said Dr. Black, after an examination. Merely a bad jar. But it will be necessary for MT. Christy to remain here until to-morrow---
 Timothy again opened his mouth.
 Not word MT Christy,' said the surgeon. "I'll drive around and get your daughter, and l know she and Mrs. Rogers will take good care of you right here"
 Dr. Black knew thing or two, and Tom grinned all over his face as he met the surgeons sly wink.
 When Timothy opened his eyes Nellie had just arrived and Mrs. Rogers stepped to the sideboard in the dining room, and brought him cooling. in- vigorating drink.
 '"Take it, MT. Christy,' she said. Its the best thing in the world after q shock or exhaustion of any kind. You needn't be afraid of 1t; Dr. Black recommends it.
 Timothy drank it and soon dropped off into an easy slumber, from which he did not awaken until Nellie brought him dainty little dinner.
 The next morning Timothy was able to dress himself and appeared at the breakfast table, leaning on Toms arm. He was more silent and less grabbed, perhaps, than usual, and took with genuine interest the "appe- tizing tonic Mrs. Rogers offered him.
 " It will do you good, MT. Christy. said Tom, i've all take it.
 II know of nothing to equalit, said MS. NpSels, anu iliiotny d!Aioss smacked his lips as he drained tho cup.
 Tom was il his happiest hunor Why shouldn't he be, when Timothy Christy's adorable daughter sat or- posite him2

 Nellie's eyes filled with tears.
 "Oh, Tom" she said, I'm afraid he will never, never consent And he won't give any reason. All he says is Nol
 Tom puffed his cigar thoughtfully a moment, sending the curling smoke up into the green branches above their heads.

 "We'll give the Honorable Timothy Christy one more chance. You ask him again at luncheon; I'll ask him again this afternoon, and if he still says No we'll do what we should have done long ago By love, Nellie. !. I'll tell you what we'll do: we'll elope in my new automobile. It got here this morning.
 Yes" laughed Nellie through her tears. 'I see US doing 1t.
 At luncheon, Nellie, after lingering her napkin for few moments, said to Timothy
 Papa dear. I'm going to marry Tom Rogers.
 And Timothy for the twentieth time responded with emphasis and decis- ion.
 Young lady, don't you ever men, ton that fellows name to me again. v But why, papa dear?'
 Papa dear was not dispensing req sons. He said nothing.
 When Timothy left the house he saw in the street near his gate all automobile the first stappearanceo of the new vehiclein Dover. No one was shit, but Timothy's next door neighbor was inspecting it with curious interest.
 Do you understand this machine !? asked the neighbor as Timothy ap- preached.
 Certainly" responded Timothy. Of course he understood automobiles; hadn't he read magazine article on the subject2
 "They say they're very simple. but 1 don't see how---
 "Why. it's like this, interrupted Timothy stepping into the carriage. "you move this lever here"
 And suiting the action to the word Timothy moved it. The automobile started.
 High there cried voice from Timothy s door-yard. What are you up to7"
 Tom Rogers bounded over the low stone wall, and with spring leaped lip beside Timothy, ready to trash the 1neddlesome boy he expected to find. "Oh it's you, began Tom. " Why. do you understand automobiles
 "Of course I do,' said Timothy grufIly, wondering how ill the world he'd ever stop the thing.

 Tom reached for the lever, but he was too late. The carriage crashed into lamp-post. The carriage stopped, but Timothy, who had risen from the seat, didn't. Instead he went over
