heart Of the "stern old bachelor" far
deeper feeling than Ada Montross had
ever been capable Of awakening. And
sometimes she, foolish child that she was,
thought SO too. not for anything no said,
neither from anything which he did; in
deed, It would have been hard for her to
tell why her heart sometimes beat 70
fast when he was near.
And still, occasionally. Rosa dared to
hope that her love was returned, else
why did each day find him at her side,
where he fingered so long, saying to her
but little, but watching her movements,
and listening to her words, as he would
not have done had she been to him an

girl she called her governess, she left

never speak to her Of the passion which
had become part Of his being3 Simply
because he too was deceived. Once, in

KEARSARGE DUBBED
 THE CURSE HARD
SAILORS OF FLAGSHIP REPORT ED TO BE IN A STATE OF Mt. TINY AND DISSATISFACTION Is GENERAL.

New York, September 13.-The sailors of the flagship Kearsarge which, together with the Alabama, the Texas, the nli- nois and the Chicago, anchored off Staten Island today have been in condition bordering on mutiny, 1t was learned to- day, for many weeks By sailors and pet ty officers on other ships. 1t was said that when the Kearsarge came to anchor, 120 men were imprisoned ia the brig because of mutnous conduct. These men say they have renamed the flagship the Cursehard. on account of the voluble dissa tisfaction continually expressed by the crew. By this parodied cognomen the Kearsarge is known, they say by all the other vessels of the squadron.
 In the recent shooting contests during the maneuyers the gunners of the Rear sarge scored but six hits out of twelve shots, the Alabama beating the record, with fifteen out of sixteen, and every other vessel of the squadron showing a first rate average. According to the sailors. the gunners of the Kearsarge in revenge for grievances. real or fancied, of long standing, by agreement with the crew, determined to make as poor a showing as they could. To clinch this agreement, some venturesome spirits, not yet discovered, threw overheard all the lenses of the gun sights, thereby render ing expert markmanship impossible.
