there is probability that entire first
second and third classes may be sent
to sea without reference to the date
of their graduation and without any re-
gard for their return to Annapolis fol-
the completion of the midshipman term
of study and practice.
This being sent to sea now seems. TO
be the remaining hope of the most of the
men in these first three classes who are
up against the charge of hazing. The
government, including two of the three
ordinate branches in equal degree, is
now pressing the hazers with more ear
nestness than has thus far been dis
played in an effort to break up this
barbarous practice. There is to be no
foolishness about it, either at the White
House or in congress, and the cadets
are just finding this out.
1t looks as if dismissal might, under
any routine handling of the case, be
the fate of practically all of the first
second and third classes, and Secretary
Bonaparte believes that this action
schould be taken in order to restore dis
cipline He feels that no other course
will preserve order and obedience at the
naval academy, and in this view he is
sustained by the chief of the bureau of
navigation and the superintendent of the
naval academy. For the midshipmen
themselves, who seem to have acted in
this whole affair with amazing lack OF
wisdom and an utter absence of discre-
ton and tact, there is the one chance
which is referred to in the opening words
of this dispatch, that of sending the
midshipmen to sea. This proposition is
regarded as a solution of the eXtraor-
binary problem. If the inquiry is dis
solved, it would save to the service what
might be valuable personnel. If the
young men are sent to sea, it will be
with the idea that they will there serve
what remains of the full six years
course, during which the midshipmen
must be under instruction. 1t will be
possible to do this on the ground that the
diabolical practice of hazing involves
nearly every midshipman, and that the
naval academy may as well be closed
as to continue with it's depleted person
mel when the cOurtmartial shall have
completed its work.
If, as now seems likely to be the case,
the government is determined to uproot
hazing at Annanolis, young Branch did
not meet his death in vain. The mid
shipmen are now more thoroughly al
armed than they ever have been before.
The act of congress few years ago, in
restoring three cadets who had been dis
missed for hazing, led to the belief in
the corps that congressional ''pull''
would always be strong enough to save
them from the effects of their hazing
pranks. Buts,eengress S now as angry
as anybody else, and seems to have gone
back on the present corps to man..
The matter will be disposed of within
the next thirty days, in all probability.

went out among the crowd of happy
children, and they rolled eggs with the
other children, as common clay as their
associates, not the children of the
President of the United States, but the
children OF an American citizen. Per-
haps little extra watch was kept over
them, but they didn't know it and they
thought that Easter Monday was the
happiest day in their little lives.
The Roosevelt children are past the
age of egg-rolling; but they enjoy with
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
watching the gay throng Of young
sters who romp over the White House
grounds on Easter Mondays.
There was time however, when the
children of Washington did not roll
eggs on the Presidents grounds. Not
that they did not roll eggs though, Oh
no! The have always rolled eggs on
Easter Monday. But they used to roll
them in the Capitol grounds, down the
steep terrace which was on the west
front of the Capital. Then there came
time when the Capitol grounds were
changed, and big flight of steps built
where the terrace used to be, and some
dyspeptic in Congress objected to the
children romping on the smooth grass
Of the big sward and rolling their eggs.
General Hayes was President then,
and he heard of it, and now dissapoint-
ed the children were because they had
no place to roll their eggs that year,
and the kindly man said: "Why let
them roll their eggs on the White
House grounds and enjoy themselves"
And thus it has been ever since, from

A stretch OF azure sky, changing to
the opal tints Of evening; a smiling ex-
panse OF sea, with long line of curling
breakers flashing the sandy beach
that Is what Rosa might have seen as
she stood by the Gala lily hedge, with
the faint breeze stirring the magnolia
blossoms.
Yet it is doubtful if she saw any,
thing. Her eyes held dreamy far
away look, and the waving green
branches outlined like laceworlI
against the evening sky, the wind
ruffied stretch of sea and the scent of
the wilderness of bloom were lost up.

In her arms was q profusion of lii
les, spray upon spray, almost more than
her slender arms could carry, for the
morrow was Easter day. Tall and stat
ely as p lily herself, Rosa stood, lost
in meditation, her face scarcely less
fair and pure than the waxen blossoms.
and as colorless, save for the scarlet
mouth with its naughty curves. A
pure, proud face was hers, and cold as
the white mist that, like a dim
squadron, was stealthily marching in
from the sea.
On the still, languorous air, suddenly
clear, sweet note rang out-the
chimes of the old mission bells. The
sacred music reached Rosa's ears,
arousing her from her reverie. Dis
engaging one slender hand she made
the sign Of the cross; her lips moved
silently.
There was sound near at hand of
slow, hating footsteps. A man, young
but Of haggard countenance, was ap-
preaching under the shadow of the
acacias.
But Rosa only heard the vesper
chimes.
Nearer the man drew until he stood
humbly before her, his head barred
his shabby hat in his trembling hand.
He raised his eyes, full of dumb visit
fulness to her face. The passionate
love and despair of tortured soul was
in them. He stood motionless, as on
awaiting his sentence.
Sweet and high the chimes of the
bells arose and fell. Something like
a sob escaped the mans lips; his thin
brown fingers worked convulsively.

Down on the beach a crowd had
gathered. Men were running to and
fro. One fastened toward her on his
way to the town. He was hatless and
disheveled, and, as he drew near, she
saw that his face was CHASTITY.
at is Diego Bernello," he said,
breathlessly. "They have just brought
him in and are carrying him to the
chapel. The Padre is with him, but
nothing can, avail him now. He went
out this morning with the fishermen,
and, in coming in, the boat was over
turned. All! but Diego was brave.
Thanks to his courage, all were saved
but himself. Two lives hath he res
cued from death, and /, for one, declare
that it had blotted out his transgres-
sions-"
The speaker broke off abruptly and
caught at Rosas arm. Her face was
ashen, and he thought she would have
fallen.
With bitter cry, she broke away
from him and sped toward the crowd
on the beach.
In the old chapel hard battle was
fought A battle for a life by tireless
hands that would not recognize defeat;
at last when they were despairing, a
shudder ran over the PROSTATE form.
"The Virgin be praised He hath
moved" whispered one near him.
"Diego," said a voice, stihed with
sobs.
He opened his eyes feebly and gazed
about him in a vague bewilderment
Had some one spoken, or had he
dreamed It? Why was he in the chapel

suddenly, "and the saints alone know

hand is against me. l am weak, I'M

Thou hast come here against my
command-see that thou dost not re-
peat it," said Rosa in icy tones. "And
now go, for l would hasten to the chap
ell to carry my flowers for the chancel."
He raised his eyes imploringly to
her face.
''Madre de Dios. I am in purga-
tory. Thou art so far above me-like
the saints. Rosa! Rosa! l am unfit
to touch thee-yet, am going away
forever. Give me one of thy lilies
only one, carita, because they are, like
thou art, as pure as the angels of God"
He reached out his hand timidly, but
Rosa drew back as if his touch were
prOIanatlOn.
They are sacred lilies" she said,
coldly. 81 have none to spare. They
are for the chancel-to be placed upon
the altar. A thief may not touch
them.'
He WINGED and shrank away. He
could not know that her hands were
clenched until the nails made cruel
marks in her tender palms. He only
saw the stern, accusing eyes and heard
the pitiless words that fell, like molten
fire, and scorched themselves into his
soul.
AS one who had received a mortal
stab, he turned and walked respondent
ly away.
1t was Easter day in the land Of per-
petual bloom, where winter is summer
and summer is paradise. In the early
morning, as the gray curtain of fog
rolled back to the sea, and the sun,
a disk of golden flame, bathed sea and
sky in flood of glory, Rosa wended
her way to the chapel to add the last
touches to the decorations for the Eas'
! ter service.

POMPEH, THE VALIANT.
Story of the Hero of a Hundred
Rad Rlnaways.

Pompeii, of the New York mounted
police squad, and one of the most in
telligent members of the force, was
retired from active service the other
day. When the stroke of heauctioneer's
hammer put the big bay out of SER
vice, he was saved from the ragman's
cart and night hawk cab by the de-
votion of his fifteen-year friend and
comrade, Mounted Policeman Redmond
p. Keresey, Of the West 152d street
police station.
Pompeii had spent nearly twenty
years in the service and knew the
rules of the department better than
many a roundsman. He was the show
horse of the force. Catching runa-
ways was his business, but mathema-
tics was his diversion. He could add,
subtract, divide and multiply, and for
years had been a source OF delight to
the school children along Seventh
Avenue, where he was on duty be-
tween 10th and 153d streets.
The children would gather around
Pompeii in the afternoons and talk to
him.

stepped back a pace; her beautiful
mouth hardened.
He lifted his hand with swift mo-
ton of pain and arrested the unspoken
words upon her lips.
"Nay, spare me, l beseech thee, car
tia; it is not to trouble thee that l
am here. Only the desire to see thee

"Thou," she cried in cold scorn.
'Thou hast dared to come to me after
all thy dishonor and crime. Know
not-is it not known to all the town
that only thy uncle's name and money
saved thee from just punishment in
prison? And once I plighted my troth

Hurt While Stopping Runaway.

Keresey himself bears some scars
gained in the fierce rushes he has
made with Pompeii. Five years ago
his right leg was broken in two places,
and two years ago his neck was
wrenched and his skull nearly smashed
in. Both injuries were received while
with Pompeii's aid he was stopping
dangerous runaways.
Only one man had the heart to bid
against Keresey so he ransomed his
old friend for $50, about twice what
he was worth said the. veterinary.
Then Keresey started on vacation.
When last heard from he was spending
it on a bit of farm he has at Rye,
N. Y, and with him went Pompeii,
happy in his last transfer.

Hurt While Stopping Runaway.

A short time before the arrival OF
Prince Henry in New York, Pompeii
was badly hurt while stopping a run
away at Seventh avenue and 125th
street. Two days later, while acting
as a guide for the Prince some dirt
got in the wound and blood poisoning
set in. Keresey managed to get placed
on reserve duty and gave all his time
to nursing Pompeii back to health. The
police veterinary condemned the horse
as unfit for duty, but Keresey managed
to evade the decision for few days.
Then Pompeii made spectacular run
along the avenue and stopped bad
runaway in such style that nothing
more was said about retirement.
The fatal day was only put off, how
ever, and last month the big bay was
sold at auction at the stables OF the
West 152d street station. Keresey was
on hand with $400. all the ready money
he could scrape together, determined
not to be separated from his old friend.

Good at Mental Arithmetic.

When a sum in arithmetic was given
him Pompeii would listen attentively
to the figures, ponder over them for
moment, and then announce the
answer by striking the ground with his
left forefoot. If the answer was the
half of something Pompeii indicated 1t
by bending his foreleg at the knee
and holding it for a moment. HIS
friends insist that he could tell time by
looking at a watch and announce the
hour and half hour in the same way
as he did his sums.
Playing with the children was by
no means the best part of Pompeii's
service. The records show that he and
his master have stopped more than a
hundred runaways in the last fifteen
years. In several instances lives were
saved. Policeman Keresey and Pom
peii have been almost inseperable ever
since the latter joined the force. Again
and again the comrades were parted for
short time when Keresey was trans
ferred from one precinct to another
but each time the policeman managed
to have his favorite sent after him.

An Old Letter.


An old. old letter Of days gone by.
With words of love on each faded page
and sigh;
Words which have served sinner, saint
and sage.
Words over which bright eyes have went
Or flashed in scorn. as the case might
be;
A treasured letter carefully kept
In a sacred corner where none might
see.
But why does her face shown signs Of
ire?
Is the writer false? Is the writer cold
Not so. He calmly sits by the fire,
q, And she holds him as dear as In DAYS
of old.
But she can't quite forgive that luckless
note,
Though. years have vanished since first
read.
He had to go out of town, he wrote
And he went to gay stag racket in
stead. -
He returned to his home in the rosy
He doesn't know yet what became of his
And though grandchildren have since been
born
He hasn't yet heard the last of that.
