read the paragraph which had thrown
Blake into a frenzy of fear.
Every word burned itself into his
brain. In~stinctively he drew back like
one menaced by a blow struck in the
dark. Then the enormity of the thing
came to him. Crushing the paper in
lis hand, he strobe across the room
and lowered over the figure OF the
man who had reQuited years of friend

Blake's face was turned toward him
the handsome, clear-cut features OF
the one he had known since boyhOod.
For an instant the impulse to strike
this man dead in his sleep came to
John Burt. Then q food of feeling
checked the swelling tide of his rage.
How could you do such a thing.

aloud.
For hours John Burt concentrated
his mind or the strange problem which
had so suddenly arisen. AT times a
wave of anger swept owe him, but
in the end charity o against odds
which seemed overwhelming.
It was dark when Blake awoke from
his stupor He raised himself on his
elbows and stared wildly about the
room until his eyes rested on John

made a p%retense OF reading.

Blake swayed and fell into John

reeking breath told their own story
without the help of the emptled de-.

pounds, but John picked him up and
laid him on the couch as IL he were

With a dull smile on his lips Blake
sank into a deep slumber.
The minute hand Of the little clock
crawled half its way around the circle
before John Burt left the side of his
friend. His eyes were fixed on the
motionless figure, but his thoughts
wandered far away.
Blake grcaned and muttered In his

Why She Kept Them

Among the first class passengers on
a home bound trans atlantic steamship
was a young woman whose extreme
economy had not permitted any lavish
expenditures during the foreign tour,
said Miss Helen GRAVITY, who will pre-
sent a revival of her greatest success
"Her Lord and Master" at the Colo
NAL Theatre shortly. 1t was, conse-
quently, with commendable pride that
she referred repeatedly to the material
for two silk dresses, purchased at a
bargain. which she was bringing home
to her mother aud sister. Even the
suggestion of one sympathetic listener
that she would probably have to pay
duty produced merely temporary re-
straint in the complacency with she
viewed her proposed generosity. At
last, when the steamship approached
New York and the custom house Off
Ger received the somewhat plain young
woman at the cabin table, her fellow
passengers were curious. Being asked
the usual questions about dutiable
property, she replied stoutly that she
had the material for two silk dresses.
s'Are they for YOURSELF" the inspec-
tor demanded. "No,' she declared,
"they are not. / am bringing them
home for presents. rThen since
they are not for your own use, l shall
be compelled to charge you duty and
he announced the required amount.
Later she was heard TO say, in vim
dictive manner: THAT has made
those dresses cost me so much that L
can't afford to give them away now.
I'm just going to keep them for my
self. "

NO INCREASE IN TICKETS.
Supply For The Army Navy Game
Not Equal To The
Demand.

Commander William f. Halsey, who
has charge of the distribution sof the
Navy's share of the seats at the Army
Navy football game at Philadelphia,
stating this morning there would be
no increase in the number of tickets
allotted here eyen though the demands
upon them would be considerably
greater including the supply for l75
midshipmen more than last year.
The whole number of seats at Frank
lin Field is IL, 500 and one-t third,
6, 600 is allotted each to the University
Of Pennsylvania, West Point and An
napolis. OF course the first claim for
tickets belongs to officers, members of
the Navy Athletic Association, and
midshipmen, who support the team.
The best possible viii be done after
this to supply the general public, but
il is anticipated that there will be
few tickets for this purpose. Applica-
tions for tickets should now be made
to Commander William Il. Halsey, as
no applications will be considered
after November l..
Commander Charles j. Badger, COM

New Postmaster General.

Robert J. Wynne of New York was
appointed Postmaster General yester-
day to succeed Henry Q. Payne of
Wisconsin who died in Washington
last week. Mr.. Wynne is credited
with having brought about the inves-
tigation of the postal scandals which
resulted in the indictment of thirty
one persons and his appointment is
considered to be a reward of merit.
The appointment is temporary in its
nature but Mr.. Wynne will probably
serve as Postmaster General several
weeks and perhaps several months.
1t has been generally understood in
Washington that in the event of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reelection George
b. Cortelyou former Secretary of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
and now chairman of the Republican
national committee would ultimately
become Postmaster General.

Vocal Class Resumed

Miss George O. Mason today re-
sumed the instruction in vocal culture
of her class taught so successfully
last season. Miss Mason has a wide
reputation as a vocal teacher. Her
method of voice building is very effec-
tive and her pupils show marked inn
provement after having profited by her
instruction. The Annapolis class is
taught every Tuesday at the residence
of Mrs. Eugene Worthington, Duke of
Gloucester street. The class is large
and enthusiastic one and has profited
by the lessons given in voice training
by Miss Mason. Miss Mason resumed
her classes in Baltimore on October B,
and in Washington on October s. She
goes to New York once a week to give
instruction and comes here every Tues
day. A larger class has been enrolled
this year and more advanced work is
expected to be accomplished.
