such possibility made him sick at

1t came like a flash. Allen was walk

fallen from his mind Everything was
perfectly clear now. 1t was all over:
he was a we'll man again. He could
take up his life where he had dropped
it.
He made his way to the beeches and
sat down, but as he did so a sudden
fear frightened his throat. How about
this girl, who had come to mean so
much to him? Was she a reality. or
had she been only an image of his tired
brain? Suppose the latter were the

He heard voices and lifted his eyes.
Across the lawn the superintendent
was approaching and with him was
the girl. Allen leaped to his feet and
ran forward
"Thank God" he cried beside himself
with joy.
The superintendent looked at him
narrowly for moment and then seized
his hand.
"Ah,' he said, Il thought it would
come. You may well thank God, Mr..
Allen. 1t was a narrow escape from
permanent trouble"
He turned to the girl beside him.

The Utility Of the BattIeshiD.


Primarily, the battleship is merely a
gun platform which can be moved
about. 1t would be far cheaper for a
country in need of defense from a foe
coming over sea to mount guns around
its shores and abstain from building
Datfleships. The shore guns might be
supported by some coast defense ships
small monitors. But this is a form Of
economy in which no nation with ocean
borne commerce and distant possessions
can indulge. Consequently, men-of-xyar
are built to go anywhere and do any
thing The battleship is mobile gun
platform. The principal weapons of the
Kansas comprise four 12-inch guns
which can discharge, according to the
proficiency Of the gunners, from one to
two projectiles of SS4 pounds a minute;
eight of the S-inch weapons, each firing
259-pound shell at the rate of two or
pieces, each of which can throw projec-
tiles Weighing 1855 pounds three and one
half times in sixty seconds. In addition
twenty 3-inch guns discharge per minute
twelve shells Weighing II pounds. In the
first minute of an action at sea the dis
charge of a single broadside would re-
suit in about IA, 800 pounds of metal be-
ing hurled through space with tremen-
dous force. The surprising anomaly is
that while these guns, the cause of the
ships existence, cost less than 81 600 OO0
the mountings and the platform on
which they are carried and moved from
one side of the world to the other, if
the need arises, entail an expenditure
of not far short Of S7,000, 900. The guns
are cheap; it is the platform with its
machinery and its 1000 tons of armor
which is xpensive.-Archibald S. Hurd
