He Got Into the NAVY.

At a recent dinner in Washington
Capt. --- of the United States navy
told the following story about certain
shallowpated naval chaplain who was
looked upon with scant respect by his
brother officers. From travelling sales
man the man had turned preacher, and,
backed by influence, came to Washing
ton in Mr.. Cleveland's time to get a
naval chaplaincy. When he was in
troduced at the white house Mr.. Cleve-
land looked him over in his grave,
penetrating way and said:
"Mr. --, this is no case for fav-
oritism. We want man Of merit and
ability for this post"
The applicant rejoined:
"Mr. President, if it is Gods will
that I go into the navy neither you nor
anyone else can keep me out"
The president eyed him for a mo-
ment and then said dryly:
''Well, Mr.. -, I'll do my part,
any way. Good morning"
''The cream of the joke is" said the
narrator, that the fellow--who really
did get into the navy later-told the
story himself, with all seriousness, add
ing, And as l left that room 1 had a
strong conviction that it was not the
will of Providence that l should enter
the navy at that time New York

Couldn't Grasp the Lingo.

The new clerk, who was porting over
a clumn of figures in the office of one OF
the local steamship companies, started
suddenly as the telephone bell rang.
He stepped over to the instrument, and
when he had taken down the receiver
and said the customary "Hello!" this
is what came over the wire:
'SThis IS Black, engineer of the
steamer X. l want three roos-
tiers, two smokers and squirter. And
want 'em quick, too"
1t was new one on the youth and
he was up tree.

What's that?'" snappishly repeat

ooh, here!" broke in one of the old
clerks. "Tll take that order" And,
after listening a moment, he said.

other end of the inc.
He spoke to the ray-bearded man
with the shade over his eyes and then
came over to the desk of the new
clerk.

fremen and an oiler" he explained.

Fox Hunting in a Tunnel.

Mr.. Robert Harries, the master of
Carmarthenshire (Wales) foxhounds,
met with an extraordinary experience
recently during a run. The fox, when
he started, took a line straight to the
seacOast, which for some distance is
skirted by the railway. Being headed
on reaching the line, he made for a
railway tunnel, down which he made
the best of his way, with the pack
close behind. Mr.. Harries, seeing
the danger into which the pack were
running, endeavored to whip them off,
but without success So into the
black tunnel he galloped, still doing
his best to stop the hounds, which by
now were a quarter of a mile away.
Here, indeed, was a strange scene of
fox, hounds and man all in a railway
tunnel in the pitch dark, with the
chance of a train coming on them any
moment! Sure enough it came. giving
warning whistle as it entered, though
little the engineer knew what was
in front of him. However, Mr.. Harries.
suddenly seeing the headlight, turned
his horse and galloped back. the train
roaring closer and closer behind him.
Fortunately, the engineer saw the fly
ing object silhouetted against the
white light as the train neared the end
of the tunnel. and Immediately shut
off steam and thus saved the man and
his horse. Curiously enough, the fox
and hounds just got through the tunnel
before the train arrived.-Chicago

wonderful creations. Tubing 1 p inches
in diameter is used. 1t is very strong.
Tires 212 inches in front and three
inches behind will be large enough to
preclude side slip. Three and one-half
inch tires may even be used. The
riders will never have to take their
hands off the bar while going that
mile, for with one gI,p they adjust
the speed, with the other the mixture

pressing it down they send the oil

makes pace following more perfect.

"OLD ABE" DONE IN METAL.
New and Attractive Weather Vane
Tops Navy Department Annex.


Persons in the vicinity of Seven
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue
have for the past few days been at
tracted by an unique weather vane
that has been erected on top of the
new Mills building, otherwise known
as the Navy Department Annex, for
the reason that it is to be occupied by
bureaus of that department as soon as
completed.
1t is in the form of large spread
eagle Of the baldheaded species, and is
called "Old Abe" after the celebrated
eagle that followed the fortunes of the
Army of the Potomac during the Civil
War.
The bird is made Of copper and
aluminium and measures 96 inches
from tip to tip of it's outstretched
wings. 1t is a perfect facsimile of the
king of the air." both in form and
cOioring. It's head and tail feathers
are white and shine in the sunlight
like FURNISHED silver. 1t is placed on
the top Of tall flagstaff, 142 feet 6
inches above the street. and is plainly
visible from a considerable distance.
Owing to its pivotal arrangement,
it always faces the wind, and in that
way is a perfect weather vane The
bird of freedom is made more con-
spicuous on its elevated perch from
the fact that it stands guard over a
large American flag. On a near view
it is seen that the bird holds in one
talon the ensign ballard that supports
the fag.-Washingt Star.

CHAPTER XVIII.

On the following afternoon, at
quarter past six, Frank Armathwaite
came back to The Crags, and was
shown straight into the study where
Lord Kildonan, with a long, dark
travelling cloak on the table beside
him, was waiting. He greeted the
young man with a warm grip of the
hand and rather grim smile.
"Ah? so you have not decided to
desert me, after ALL" he said in a
subdued voice, with a sort of cherries
satisfaction. "Are you prepared to
take journey with me?"
II am prepared to do whatever you
please, Lord Kildonan"
Then you will have to be eyes and
perhaps limbs for me tonight, for l am
going to do without my spectacles:
and if should want an arm to lean on
as, Heaven help me! perhaps l may
i shall depend on yours"
At that moment servant appeared,
and Informed his master that the
phaeton was at the door. He rose,
and signed to Armathwaite to pass out
before him. The young man hest
tated.
my lord, forgive me-" he said at
last, in a choking voice, 'fbut this
journey will be the ruin of US all. It
will be black stain on our memories
that nothing will ever wash out. Bet
ter be content with what you know
what you guess"
But Lord Kildonan put his hand
through the young mans arm and led
him towards the door.
There are some things, Dr. Armath-
waite, that only our own eyes can per-
suade us of. There are some forms of
deceit which, like virulent poison,
create in one thirst even for the
poison itself"
They went along the gallery, crossed
the hail. and got into the phaeton in

Fragrant and pure, on the rivers

Past fiowery banks, al the grasses

Waters sparkling at bow, the bluefags

From tingling rhythm to murmur-

Past meadow sedges, the marsh birds

Winging through grasses in and
out;
skirting the alders, the killdeers
a-crying
Ger foaming rapid and leaping

Past sheltered inlets, where wild
geese gather,
Past pebbly shore, where sandpipers
run,
Past green herons, preening a glossy
feather,
Till bathed with the light of the

JEROME'S RAID ON CANFIELD'S.

Jerome's visit to Canields, it was
really raid, was made just before
midnight, at time when Forty-fourth
street was literally choked with cabs
and carriages waiting supper parties
in the nearby restaurants. He took
some policemen and detectives and a
ladder with him. When his ring at the
front door was unanswered, the ladder
was poked through a plate-glass win
dow and an entrance was effected.
There was no gambling going on in
Canfield's. Garfield, with his reputed
manager, was conversing with a we'll
known lawyer, and it looked as if the
secret plans of the raiders had been
betrayed
Jerome decided to search the place.
The detectives made an inspection.
but nowhere did they find a single
article to indicate that the establish
ment had ever been used for gambling
purposes. Mr. Garfield was triumph
ant: you see it is as | told you he
said. Il hope you will look around
yourself and verify the report of your
men"
Il will" replied Mr. Jerome
With his knuckles Mr.. Jerome sound
ed the wall of each room he entered.
In what looked like a store-room he
found place that gave back a hollow
noise.
Tear it down. he said tersely, to
stalwart policeman who stood near
through the partition, showing a thin
wall of pine board papered over to
look like plaster. Two more blows
and the entire side of the room fell.
