hands. Then. with a smile as warm as

You may even smoke"
Max grew light-headed. This was as
near heaven as he ever expected to
get.
"Open your purse and look into It,"
he said. I'm a brute; you are dying
to do So"
May I?'-shyly.
Then 1t came into Max's mind, with
all the brilliancy of a dynamo spark,
that this was the girl in all the
world, the ideal he had been searching
for: and he wanted to fall at her feet
and tell her 80.

She smiled. How a woman loves

of her beauty.

Wasn't it fine to be ordered about in

"Indeed!"-derisively. p"

) The girl sat tight, as they say; then
suddenly she burst into uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the drollest thing she
had ever heard. She saw the duke
tearing around the palace, ordering the
police hither and thither, sending tele-
grams. waking his advisers and drag

a hubbub! Suddenly she grew serious.

He took out the revolver and gazed

not repress a shudder.

History OF American Navy.
The first appropriation made for a
navy for this country was that of the
continental congress in ITS, and the
sun Of 500. 900 was expected to pur-
chase. equip and generally outfit 10
ships. For the present year. ending
July, 1908, the navy will have needed
$126 0lI 800, an increase Of IS. ZOO. 900
over last year. Nine million alone go
for ordnance stores. The last appro-
priation of congress for the building of
ships was $40, 600, 900 to be expended
on two big ships. each of which is to
measure $40 feet in length. IS feet
beam, and make 81 knots an hour.
Three million dollars was appropri-
ated for submarines of the Holland
type, and In September Ave torpedo
boat destroyers were contracted for.
Think Of this In comparison with the
500. 900 that cost the continental con-
gress so much thought. and which was
furnished by the people Of the colo
MES after SO much privation.
