 The battle was on. the fight between the priceless love which Joe had all ways cherished for Nellie, his Nellie. and the chance to see the man who had taken the one woman of his life away from him go down, down into the depths of hell-into the cold. black cell of the state penitentiary.

BAD NAMES. BAD LUCK.

War Vessels OF All Nations Have
Amply Proved It.

acterize the superstitious sailor as sill

is sufficient reason for his belief, and
would proceed to prove that war YES
sells named after singing and venom
GUS things have been unlucky, and that
the country should not be so indiffer
ent to the men who follow "a life on
the ocean wave" as to organize a mos
quito feet. That Snake is regarded as
an unfortunate name for a vessel is
shown by the fact that two of that
name have been lost, one in 1871 and
the other in 1847; but no vessel bear
ing that name is known to exist now.
Serpent which is only substitute
name for Snake, is an unlucky one
also, for the one wrecked In 1892 was
the fourth British war vessel of that
name to meet the same fate. Viper
has been an unlucky name in the Brit
ish navy. The first one was wrecked
in 1880, but the admiralty would not
Swerve, and 80 kept the name on the
list, each vessel meeting its doom, and
the fourth was lost only recently. The
French navy has also been unlucky
with vessels so named. The Viper,
used in the British service after she
became a prize from the French, was
year later the third In 1907, and the
fourth was recently lost in a collision
Off Guernsey.
The Cobra, another British war yes
sci, was lost recently at the same time
as the Viper. Among other vessels
similarly named and which met fates
other than in battle are the Rattle
snake, in 1881; the Alligator, in 1882:
the Crocodile, in 1854; the Adder, in
1846; three Lizards, two Dragons and
one Basilisk. All of these were Of the
British navy. The list could be made
larger by citing the records of other
navies. The Norsemen, who were SO
fond of naming their vessels against
the laws Of superstition, and using hid
eous heads Of dragons and reptiles on
their high prows, were less unfortu-
nate and these did not meet with fire.

lief, however, that it was unlucky and
a sacrilege to select such a name as
did Lord Dunraven for his first yacht
to challenge for the Americas cup, the
Valkyrte. And this belief was strength
ened when she was sunk by the Satan
ita. The second challenger, with the
same name, gave trouble, and she was
broken up after only a short exist
