market. he would today be a million
aire, instead of a jobless and cursed
eX-employe of the government
The case of Professor Moore ought
to be put alongside of some cases in
the ordnance bureaus of the army
and navy departments. There are
officers in both branches of the serv-
ice who today are rich and there are
others retired who are richer, who
have acquired their wealth on patent
ed inventions pertaining to the mech
anism of the guns used on land and
sea. These men are working with ed
ucation given them by the govern
ment; they are working on govern
ment time; they are employing gov
eminent materials and they are sworn
to give their services and life if need
be for the government, which, in turn
feeds. clothes and pays them well and
pensions them when they are old.
And yet such an officer does not even
bresign from the service before con-
Meeting himself with some ordnance
company, and there are one or two
fairly authenticated instances in
which officers have even sold their
patents to foreign governments.
Something similar should be said
concerning the establishment of the
weather station at Bluemont, in Vir-
ginia. Whatever graft is here was
passed upon and approved by the
committees of congress.
The promoting spirit back of the
Bluemont station is Professor BigN-
Flow, a scientist in the weather bu-
reau. Professor Bigelow is a gradu-
| late of Harvard and is assistant rector
of St. Johns Episcopal church. He
is a good enough business man to
hand his salary over to his wife, who
gives him car fare every morning.
If Professor Bigelow is in the graft
ing business then John Rockefeller
is in danger of dying poor.

Two young girls sat together In a
large room in a boarding house in
New York, Twilight was falling on
this spring evening. and as they re-
manned silent, save for sobs occasion
ally from one or the other, the room
might have been empty for any signs
of life. At length one of the girls
raised her head and said in a chok-
ing voice:
"perhaps we had better look
through the desk tonight. Grace"
We'll we will if you think best"
was the answer.
The first speaker arose, lighted a
softly shaded lamp and drew the sofa
on which her sister rcclined closer
to the fireplace. AS the light struck
the figure 1t was difficult to distin-
suish one girl from the other. In
both there was the same peculiar
large hazel eyes, dark brows and
lashes, with a profusion of light hair
which fell in soft curls around their
faces. Both were fair and very pale
and mourning garments We're worn by
each. Yet close observer would
have seen an expression in Ellen $
face which showed firmncss and de-
cision of character. while Grace's face
told Of that winning disposition which
rests so conidingly upon a stronger
nature.
Ellen and Grace Neville, twins,
were the only children OF Grant Ne
vile, for years one of the wealthiest
men in the west. Specializing had
been his mania before marriage,
When his wife died he had placed
his daughters in n fashionable board
ing school and himself moved to
Dalesville. When they finished school
they returned to him ana presided
over the luxurious home. The love
of speculation, like the love of gam
bling, grows upon It's victim, and not
content with the bright present in his
grasp he strove for a future brighter
still. He risked his whole fortune ON
one of the bubbles of the day and lost
all. Arriving with the girls In New
York after the crash he had been
seized with brain fever and lasted less
than two weeks.
1t was late that night when the
sisters finished their inventory of
their fathers affairs. only a small
amount of ready money was left in
their possession and the future look
ed very black for them. 1t would be
necessary for them to so to work at
once, but what could they do to earn
anything like comfortable living?
But try it they must.
The next day they started out TO
search for something to do. and after
many rebur's and crushing expert
enccs they succeeded in getting some
sewing and copying to do In their
room. This finished they sought other

voyage on May with a cargo of
freight valued at $2,01S,195, but with
practically no passengers. Before she
got out to sea she suffered an acct
dent to her machinery and was put
back to Port Townsend for repairs,
and 1t was found that her stern frame
was cracked. Lloyds' agent passed
her for a voyage, however, and she
proceeded, first changing her clear
ance papers to show that she was
destined for Shanghai instead of Yok-
ohama, in order that in case of cap
ture by the Russians her owners
might advance the argument that she
was bound for neutral port. Before
reaching Japan she was chased

sian cruisers.

before she started for Seattle, and
the second vessel had much less
eventful trip around the Horn. Ar
irving at Seattle she loaded a cargo
of but half what she was able to
carry and cleared for Kobe. The first
day out she broke her port tail shaft
and cracked her stern frame, making
it necessary for her to put back to
Seattle and transfer her cargo to
the Minnesota, while she went to the
Puget Sound navy yard at Bremerton
for repairs. The Dakota was locked
at the navy yard last week and the
Minnesota is now almost ready to
sail on her third voyage to the orient.
Since her arrival in this port she has
been once raided by customs officials
in search of contraband silks and
other articles of value brought from
China by members of the Chinese
crew, who make a practice of selling
them to visitors on board the vessel.
