JUSTICE GRAY's RESIGNATION.
He Was Also Chief Justice of Mnssn-

Washington, Aug. u.-Justice Gray's
resignation was not altogether unex-
pected. 1t was recognized that he
would be unable to resume his duties
on the bench, and the general impress
sion was that he would resign at or be-
fore the beginning of the next term of
the court in October. His sue
cessor, it is said, will not
take his place on the bench
until after his confirmation by the Sem
ate. This is the unwritten practice
in the case of appointments to the Su-
preme Court. Justice Gray was always
an ardent Republican. Like his sue
cessor in office ne was chief justice
of the Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets before, his appointment to the
United States Supreme Court.

ends of stretched rubber band Always
provided that you don't stretch the band
too far and leave it so too long in which
case the connection between the ends
snaps.
As the officer had not had a chance to
speak to the girl again after they had
been drenched together, he did not know
whether she intended to climb Alps in
Switzerland or buy hats in Paris. So for
weeks and in all kinds of weather he stood
on the bridge with the stretched india
rubber kind of feeling, while the ship
, swung back and forth between Europe and
America like huge pendulum
The vessel, as you may have surmised
from the foregoing touched one port in
America and then swung back and touched
two in Europe.
This by way OF explanation Well, it
had dropped the girl at the first European
port gone on TO the second, returned to
America and then reached Europe again.
This had used up about four weeks and
much OF the officers cheerfulness.
Then something happened that had an
effect on his whole future existence. The
companys agent, who came aboard at the
first European port brought along a fat,
chunky little parcel sent by mail. and
1t and the yes" flag dropped out Moth
ing else-Only the yes" flag
Then he studied the handwriting of the
address and the envelope, and found a
travel weakened postmark of some little
town of Switzerland in one corner. Love
is said to be blind.
He was supposed TO steer the vessel in
a reasonably straight line from the first
European port to the second; but that
small parcel seemed to have an intoxicat
ing effect on his mind and was respon-
sible for the steamer going two points out
of her way. Upon arrival as soon as he
possibly could. he applied for leave of
absence, took train, and hunted up the
postmark.
This far / have given you facts. The |
rest /. e.. the motives underlying them
all and the final result, you and must
guess at together. Probably the girl, being
repentant. had sent the flag back to quiet |
her conscience, and the officer, being |!
nautical, had only grasped the nautical |
significance of the signal and acted ac-
cordingly. That is the trouble of having |
one and the same flag mean two entirely |
different things.
