BOARD OF ORDNANCE
RECOMMENDS PRACTICE
Ample Supply of Reserve Ammunition
Urged for Work at the
Target.

The Importance Of adequate target
practice is emphasized in the annual
report of the Board of Ordnance and
Fertilization, of which Maj. Gen. J. c.
Bates. Of the general STAFF. is president.
1t IS recommended by the board that
an ample supply of reserve ammunition
be provided by Congress for each of
the big coast defense guns for this pur-
pose. and that in addition an adequate
amount be appropriated for sub-cali5er
and machine gun practice.
Ammunition Is Needed.
The board renews its former. recon-
mendation that each gun as soon as
mounted should be supplied with at
least 200 rounds of ammunition. "As
without an adequate supply. 1t is need
less TO say, the armament Of the coast
defense is useless"
Recommendation IS also made for the
purchase of range finders and other in
struments for fire control, the installa-
ton of additional searchlights, and for
material necessary to the mine defense
OF the principal harbors.
Bethlehem Well Equipped.
The report states that in the past
year. the Bethlehem Steel Company has
completed the delivery of the 100 eight.
ten and twelve-inch guns, for the. coast
defense, which were contracted for in
1891, and adds that the company is now
fully equipped to continue the manu-
facture OF guns Of large caIfber. shorId

longed to Morrison & DAILY, but the
young man had had the foresight to
purchase the land lying on the deep
water side of the bay. He therefore
anticipated no trouble in unloading, for,
while Morrison & DAILY owned the pier
itself, the land on which it abutted be-
longed to him.
From the arms of the bay he could
make out dozen figures standing near
the end of the wharf. When, with pro-
peller reversed, the Pole Star boro
slowly down toward her moorings,
Thorpe recognized Dyer at the head of
eight or ten woodsmen. 1t looked sus-
picious.
"Catch this liner sung out the mate,

wharf.
No one moved, and the little rope aft

began Thorpe, and then stopped with a
choke of anger at the futility of argu-
ing legality in such case.
The men had gathered interestedly in
the waist of the ship, cool, impartial,
severely critical. The vessel swung her
bow in toward the dock. Thorpe ran
swiftly forward and during the instant
of rubbing contact leaped.

The men acere on him again.

He alighted squarely upon his feet
Without an instant's hesitation he
rushed on Dyer and with one full, clean
INFLOW stretched him stunned on the
dock For a moment there was pause
of establishment. Then the woodsmen
closed upon him.
During that instant Thorpe had be
come possessed of a weapon. 1t came
hurting through the air from above to
fall at his feet. Shearer, with the COO
calculation of the pioneer, had seen
that it would be impossible to follow
his chief and so had done the next best
thing, thrown him heavy iron Delay
ing pin.
Thorpe hit with all his strength and
quickness. He was conscious once OF
being on the point of defeat. Then ht
had cleared little space for himself
Then the men were on him again more
savagely than ever. One fellow ever
succeeded in hitting him a CHANGING
blow on the shoulder.
Then came a sudden crash. Thorpe
was nearly thrown from his feet. ThC
next instant a score of yelling mel
leaped behind and all around him
There ensued q moments scuffie, thu
sound of dull blows, and the dock was
clear Of all but Dyer and three Others

At the hotel Thorpe, examining the

find.
"What is your name?" he asked.

"Were you playing your fiddle in one

The cripple nodded slowly.
'Are you hungry?' asked Thorpe,
with sudden thoughtfulness.

lightning CLEAN in his wolf eyes.
Thorpe rang the bell. To the boy
who answered it he said:
Bring me half a dozen beef sand
wicheS and q glass of milk, and be
quick about It,"
"Do you play the fiddle much" con-
tnued Thorpe.
The cripple nodded again.

"You would have to work. You
would have to be chore boy in lum-
Der camp and play fiddle for the men
when they wanted you to-"
'T'll do it." said the cripple.
"All right; then I'll take you," re-
piled Thorpe.
The cripple said nothing nor moved
q muscle of his face, but the CLEAN of
the wolf faded to give place to the soft,
affectionate glow seen in the eyes of a
setter dog. Thorpe was startled at the
change.
A knock announced the sandwiches
and milk. The cripple fell upon them
with both hands in a sudden ecstasy
of hunger. When he lad finished, he
looked again at Thorpe, and this time
there were tears in his eyes.
A little later Thorpe interviewed the
proprietor of the hotel.
81 wish you'd give this boy a good
cheap room and charge his keep to
me-" said he. Hes going north with
me-"
Thorpe lay awake for some time aft
er retiring. Phil claimed q share of his
thought. In an hour or so he dozed.
He dreamed that the cripple had grown
to enormous proportions and was over
shadowing his life. A slight noise out
yde his bedroom door brought him to
his feet.
He opened the door and found that
in the stiffness of the night the poor
deformed creature had taken the blan'
lxets from his bed and had spread them
ncross the doorsill Of the man who had
befriended him.
