They'll use their tOrpedoes on our broadside, sir suggested Colbath.
 Let them" snapped Maxim. "Go about MT. Watson. Colbath, be ready with every gun that bears. Clear the forward turret if you can"
 But 1t was past clearing. a long way : That one shot had put two big guns out of action. As the MaripOsa swung off to go about the enemy swung off too. greatly to the surprise of Maxim. who expected that the Salamanca would be content with the greater tar get offered during her advers- ary's manouevTe while keeping herself head on and thus as small as possible. But when she headed south, in exact imitation of the Mariposa's movement, Watson cried excitedly:
 "TorpedOes, captaini Shes goin to fire one now. And she's signaling like mad to something coming up astern of her. There's something going on, sir something
 The Mariposa at this moment looked in bad shape. Her mast had toppled over like a crumpled geranium. One funnel was missing so that the dense.
 
 poured down along her decks. Her port engine had a shot in its bowels and there was an ugly fire in the after compartments. The Salamanca. well crippled. hung deep down by the head. with deadly starbOard list.
 But from around the Salamanca's $ tilted stern there darted the greenish body of a fresh destroyer. which bore down on the Mariposa at high speed. She was flying special signals and wig wagged others violently from her deck. A few of the remaining American guns were trained on her. when from the coming tower came a cry:
 Hold up, She's flying a flag of truce."
 The blear-eyed gunners made it out and all ceased firing. The Mariposa pitched ungracefully. the desperately battered remnant of a ship. There was Ia strange and inharmOnious silence at that end of the battle line. The de- strOyer came close down to port and hove to. To the weary crew the smart immaculate white duck of the three young fellows on her after deck was a hellish aggravation. one of them hail. ed in English. excessively polite:
 "Is the Honorable William Anches- ter on board?-
 The gun crews were for opening fire at short range, but Captain Maxim groaned in spirit and put his head out of the coming tower to gst at Colbath.
 "Tell those youngsters to run along home" he called. We can't transfer passengers in the middle of a fight. Tell them to get out of the way
 COlbath nearly walked out on the top of the forward turIet and shook his head. The destroyer hailed again:
 'Is the Honorable William Anches- ter on board you?"
 Colbath lost patience He was tired. He grabbed a megaphone, tasting the battle dirt on it as he did so.
 "The Honorable William Anchester. '' he bawled. "is at present closeted with deputation of the naval engineers inter national union. and begs to be ex- cused. Good morning"
 The destreyers people. evidently un- satisfied, prepared to hail once more, when there was a noteworthy stir among the live men clustered in the Mariposa's citadel. and another man came out and stood by COlbath on the forward turiet. He was stripped to

below and the Mariposa steamed duo east at seventeen knots.
 MT. Colbath.' said the captain. "wC will sink the Salamanca, and watch out for torpedoes.'
 But the Salamanca had her owr opinions about that. Her bow turret dropped a. l0-inch shell within a hun ed yards of the Mariposa's stern be- fore MT. Goliath could address some purely official remark to the young gentleman in command of the forward turret. and the next shot spouted salt water just before her.
 They brought their shooters with them this time" observed MT. Watson whom excitement rendered reasonably amusing. though in peace he was dig nified as a church picnic. At the same moment the Salamanca's No. 3 sho; came aboard. It struck the top of the forward turret a glancing blow. passed under the bridge with a slant to star board. knocked a six-pounder off it's pins, and exploded on the superstruc- ture wall. blowing the starboard end oi the bridge to pieces, and raising an agonized cry from the men near by some of whom were hit
 Get to work" directed Maxim. "and watch out for torpedoes''
 Every possible gum was the or der. Salamanca was coming in range and the Mariposa's marines went to the secondary battery ready to pepper the destroyers, which were plainly man. oeuvring to get on the flank. and at the torpedo boats behind our battleships
 Meantime the ships were getting into comfortable reach for a hammering and small-slzed prOjectiles began fall ing on the Mariposa's deck The Sala- manca came on in spite Of everything welve-inch shells were dropped in and around her as fast as tne bow tur- ret could deliver th'Ar, and the two forward S-inch rifles knocked the fun nels out of her after they got the range Still she came on. Watson noticed that she was signaling from her after mast. up and down which ran strings of little flags. though there wasn't a thing in sight through the dense smoke.
 Hit lower," called Maxim. 'D-r 1t. we're just tickling her!"
 "A hundred if you hull her this shot," whispered the turFet officer tC his gunpointer
 And Bill Grenquist. the star gun pointer had his best eye on the mark that day, when the Mariposa, steamins seventeen knots due east. met sever hundred pounds of nickel steel travel Ing due west at a somewhat higher rate It took her fair in the face at the base of the forward turret. exploding on the armor and tearing a big hole iT the armored deck. At the same mo- ment an eight-inch shell pierced the Mariposa's bow almost squarely on the stem. passing through the forward chain compartment and exploding or the base of the military mast. These shocks were felt in all parts of the ship. and immediately following then there was complete silence. Not a gur fired. The men were momentarily stunned by the indescribale jar of the impact A great many of them were killed. and when Maxim tried to sigma the forward turret he learned some thing more.

dowed every curve and line imparts
life and animation to the somewhat diff
ncult substance in which the decora-
lions are executed, and the result is in
q high degree successful. The great
hall relies upon its fine proportions
as much as its adornment for the ef-
fects produced. 1t furnishings are of
extreme but well judged simplicity.
The mantel and its flowing decorations
as well as the elaborate ceiling and
paneling are subjects OF extended artis-
tic appreciation. All is worked out
with the conscientiousness OF the true
artist intent upon endowing his handi-
work with intelligence and executing
the designs of the architect with the
utmost truth and fidelity. The dining
room OF the mansion is an apartment
considerably larger in dimensions even
than the great hall and quite equal to
the most exigent demands which the
widely extended reputation of the
owner for gracious hospitality can
make upon It. Every detail of this
room has been subordinated so as to
create certain effects and to bring into
prominence those features which are in
tended to dominate. The ceiling is a
superb example of renaissance and is
divided into panels. in which every de-
tail, no' matter how minute. has been
worked UP with consummste skill. The
beams OF the ceiling are heavy enough

is above them, being big enough In
section to give the richness and dig
nifty which they would not have IL they
were shams. The fireplace, with its
border of embossed brass and richly
designed furniture, is feature notice

The special and crowning feature
of the dining-room is the large 1nantel
occupying the space of a small sized
apartment, and, in designing. the archi-
tect incorporated certain theories
claimed by him to be truer to ancient
custom In construction than now ac
cepted by the majority of architects.
The mantel it will be noted, Is car
ried to the ceiling, detail seldom oh
served in the most costly examples. but
nearer to the practice of the ancient
builders who originated and planned
those beautiful examples found in pal
aces and mansions of the renaissance
period. Like every architectural feat
ure which the masters retained and
beautihed. the towering mantel had a
utilitarian purpose, namely, to act as
smoke chamber through which the
smoke arising from the fireplace could
be conveyed to the upper air. The
propriety of extending the mantel to
the roof is thus demonstrated at
glance and the belief that the giant
mantel' is nbthing but an architectural
adornment is thought to be mistake.

WHAT'S COMING TO YOU.


What's the use to worry
Or 10 vex your soul
Lest the merry dealer
Raise the price of coal?
Better be complacent
Just because you may
Know he will for certain
Do 1t anyway.
What's the use to borrow
Trouble in advance,
Knowing it will hit you
When it gets n chance?
Wait its grand arrival
To get truly glum;
Simple logic tells you
IL is bound to come.
Nothing gained by fretting
or by feeling blue:
Only makes you thinner
If reports are true.
Wait until misfortune
Hands 1t to you straight,
You with such n prospect
Can afford To wait.
Might as well be joyful
And to sing a tune.
Knowing there Is tronble
Coming pretty soon.

You will sure be hit

Get the worst of 1t.
