much do you wish it? Enough to
dispose yourself so as to be in the

Everything you carelessly e.

other way. The doctors had promised
him that he would be restored by a sea
voyage. It would be three weeks prob
ably before he could reach San Fran

captains admission that she was prob
ably in need.

Then there had come, not to him, but
to the post surgeon at Yuma, another
letter just before Loring started down
the Colorado. The doctor was with his
patient at the moment, and the super
scription caught the latter's eye. The
doctor changed color and looked embar
raised as he read. Evidently he did not
desire to be questioned, nor was he at
the time, for Loring had way Of

Morse Systnin Rest

The method Of telegraphine, and
slowly being improved, and we may
soon see systems Of the kind in prac-
teal operation. Marconi, the young
Italian to whose inventive genius is
made, has now succeeded in sending
a message sixty miles, and that with
receiving cylinder only four feet high,
instead of kites or towers. The great
preventing the message from being
received at too many places at once,
for at present it might be compared
to sound, as in the case of person
speaking, not only the person ad
dressed, but all others within certain
radius being able to hear what is said.
This feature would, of course, pre-
vent the use of the system where
privacy was required, but would
prove all the better FOR general sig
mailing purposes, such as warning
vessels from a dangerous coast, and
announcing storms, or in other cases
where large area was to be covered
at the same time by one message
Unless, however, means is found to
prevent this random diffusion of a
message, the wireless telegraphy can
not replace the Morse system now in
use.

thinking before he spoke, but as the
doctor completed certain injunctions at
parting the engineer turned full upon
him:
"Any news of Nevins in the letter
you got this morning?"
The doctor flushed. looked bothered
and confused, then finally fished the
letter from an inner pocket. Read it

1t was from Miss Allyn. It apologized
for intruding on stranger, on his time
and patience, but she knew he had been
Mr.. Loring's medical adviser, and she
felt compelled to make certain inquiries,
her sister being still unable to write for
herself. The doctor was probably aware
that Mr.. Loring had written apprising
them of the loss of certain articles of
great value that had been intrusted to
his care and intended for them He had
expressed the utmost sorrow and had
rendered certain reimbursement Chat

a fortieth part of the value of the lost
articles probably, but now they were in
receipt of letter from Captain Nevins
that must have come by private hand
to San Francisco, telling them that he
must go forth to seek his fortunes anew;
that his wife would never hear from
him until he could come with full
hands; that be had sent her every penny
and possession he had-enough to keep
her in comfort-and that if Lieutenant
Loring did not promptly deliver the
same to take legal steps to compel him
SO to do, as he, Nevins, was now con-
WINGED the officer might appropriate
them to his own use if he could find
any way to cover his breach Of trust
such as swearing they were stolen from
him. Captain Nevins had written other
things in condemnation of Mr.. Loring
which neither Mrs. Nevins nor herself
could believe, but it did seem strange
that an officer could find no safe meth
cd of sending valuable jewels when SO
much depended on his fidelity
Loring read no further. His blue eyes
were blazing already, and his face was
white with wrath when he returned the
missive to his friend, who, knowing
nothing of Loring's past infatuation for
the writer, wondered at sight of his
emotion.
"Why, Loring," said he, 'you take
this shallow girl too seriously. It's the
way with women all over the world.
They can never wholly acquit man Of
completely when they have suffered
loss. If that package were with you on
the Idaho and she was to go down in
midocean and the jewelry with her,
some women would say you had scut-
tied the ship in order to rob them. :"
The doctor name, it must be observ-
ed, is unrecorded because of the extrem-
ity of his cynicism. He went back to
Yuma and his duties and slowed that
letter away to be answered later on.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hooper were

BERLIN, Feb 9.--The Anglo German
relations and their surmised modin Ma.
tons, owing to EMPEROR Williams visit
to England, form just now the ALIEN
crossing topic Since his majesty's re-
turn all, Germany has been engaged in
discussion. The decorating of Lord Rob-
erts with the Order Of the Black Gag, e
and Emperor Williams reply to King
Edwards speech, in which the emperor
said he was honored in wearing Brit
ish uniform and that the emperors army
would likewise feel it an honor, have
especially aroused keen criticism, which
is privately expressed much more freely
than in print. In high official circles the
decorating Of Lord Roberts with the Or
der of the Black Eagle, which the officials
do not confirm. is regarded as being mere
I 1y of. personal significance, and as ex-
pressing Emperor Williams appreciation
of Lord Roberts as a man and as a sol
dder. It is not looked upon as o political
act, and leaves Anglo German relations
precisely where they We're before the in
cident. Nevertheless, it is admitted that
the act expresses the emperor's wish to
end the bitterness in the relations of the
two countries, which does not benefit
Germany or Great Britain. The Kreuz-
