NAVY YARD JOBS GO BEGGING.
Secretary Bonaparte Finds Difficulty
in Filling Positions.

in Filling Positions.
In three months which ended March
81, 243 persons either resigned their
employment at the navy department
or in navy yards, or refused to accept
positions under the navy department
after being certified by the civil SER
vice commission to the secretary. The
percentage is unusually large and Sec
rotary Bonaparte is worried about the
lack of desirable new employees. The
positions vacant command salaries
ranging from $500 to $140O a year and
the failure to fill the places is due
chiefly to the provision of the law
that certain quota of employees must
be taken from each state. The pay in
the navy department is lower than In
many other departments.

REVELATIONS.

Hume and Winter did not meet on
terms that might be strictly described
as cordial
Brett, on quitting the Hall had
surrendered himself to a spell of va
cant bewilderment He hailed the
unwilling Hume from Helen's So

the Wheat Sheaf Inn. Then the bar
rister, from sheer need of mental re-
lief. determined to have some fun
with them.

to me as a swine not two hours ago.
Now, YOU are both wrong. Winter is

valuable ally. Before many days are
over you will be deeply in his debt in
every sense OF the word. On the other
