Compliments to Long

Turning to MT. Long individually, the president hits out in this fashion:
 "Of all these mature fakers' the most reckless and least responsible is NIT. Long; but there are others who run him close in the yellow journalism of the woods, as John Burroughs has aptly called it.
 "There is no need of discussing their theories; the point is that their alleged facts are not facts at all, but faneies Their most striking stories are not merely distortions of facts, but pure inventions; and not only are they inven- tions, but they are inventions by men who know so little of the subject con- eerning which they write, and who to ignorance add such utter recklessness, that they are not even able to distin- guish between what is possible, however wildly improbable, and mechanical i'm possibilities.
 "Be it remembered that I am not speaking of ordinary mistakes, of or dinary errors of observation, of differ ences of interpretation and opinion. am dealing only with deliberate inven- tion, deliberate perversion of faets.'
 After this intimation that the "fa- kers" are eligible to the Ananias club, President Roosevelt considers story af- ter story of the "fakers."
 Need Barnyard Study
 Later he makes the suggestion for course of barnyard research as fol lows:
 eff the writers who make such start ling discoveries in the wilderness would really study even the denizens of the barnyard they would be saved from at least some of their most salient mis- takes. Their stories dwell too much on teaching of the young animals by their elders and betters. In one story. for instance, a wild duck is described as teaching her young how to swim and get their food. If this writer had strolled into the nearest barnyard con taining a hen which had matched out ducklings, a glance at the actions of those ducklings when the hen happened to lead them near puddle would have enlightened him as to how much teach ing they needed. But these writers exercise the same Horid imagination when they deal with robin or a rab- bit as when they describe a bear, moose or salmon. Their books carry their own refutation, and

startled as one who hears voice from the dead.
She wheeled round, lifting her hat from her tear
stained face and her eyes dlated with something
akin to terror when she saw him standing in the
door of the arbor.
You'll she gasped. "You!"
With that he fastened to her, Selling her hand in
unmistakable pity and tenderness: sJessica, don't
say You'll like thatl There, there, don't try to

roughness and grew huskily tender lust you tell
me all about it in the old way"
JeSsica, too confused, too stunned, to speak, sank
back in her seat again making a shelter for her
face with the brim of her hat Then he, in the old
deliberate way which she remembered as part of
memories of little, white, frilled sunbonnets, united
the blue bow beneath her chin lifted the hat from
her sunny brown hair and laid it on the bench.
While memories throbbed between them, as he per-
formed the old service for her, they did look
at the other; but after moment each glanced UP
and met the others steady glance. He smiled in
the old, queer, twisted, manly sweet way that she
well remembered, and, encouraged by that smile,
she parted her lips to answer.
Il have been true, she faltered.

self control, and, taking her hand within his,
sought to steady it's trembling. Tut, tutl" he
repeated, laughing again, assuming spirit of pro-

seeing the gallant smile his face, she laughed of

He laughed outright taking malicious enjoy

"such foolish little girl! As soon as you had to
struggle, you should have told about-about

He laughed lightly, tenderly. Il am very glad

longer raise his voice above whisper; yet he went
on. In gratitude to me for keeping you in trust

Then Jessca laughed, in the joyousness of COM

clasped tightly in his, let the other hand with the

dreamed she would only this morning Now he
recalled that she had been wont to hold her father
like this.
"Oh, godfather" she cried, her voice thrilling
with gladness, II could never have been happy had
you really cared"
He smiled down at her, haunting, puzzling
tiptoe and kissed his cheek. Then with a
mighty, all but overwhelming wave of passion, he
realized that he loved her-that he loved her at
last: His love grew so great at that moment that
all his previous love became naught beside it.
He pushed her away from him almost roughly. yet
his voice strangely soft as he murmured:
Thank you, thank you, Jessica. And-good by.
You must make haste to get him back again, and
tell him, Yes Good by, little girl"
She made some protest, but he did not heed her
words Looking neither right nor left he stepped
quickly out of the house and down the
little garden path to the side gate. But the neigh

village street, wondered of what other miraculous
waters he had been drinking than those of the Foun-

garden hat He made a movement toward the
berry vines and lift that hat from Jessica's face;
but at that moment the other figure in the garden,
which had also been STOPPING over the task of pick
ing berries Strengthened itself and stood erect face
toward the summer house behind whose vines les
sica's godfather remained unseen
The godfather startled not to see an aged,
decrepit gardener such they had used to employ
at the home when he knew the place, but supple,
keen eyed young fellow bearing the unmistakable
signs of gentle blood and the air of professional
Instantly the godfather knew him for the young
physician who had come to Shorevile during his
absence, and whom Jessica in her letters had men
toned casually as the doctor of the home. A wave
of fear and jealousy swept over the older man;
he remembered the words that had been flung at
him as he entered the gate; and again his heart
began to bound toward Jessica with haste that
threatened to stife him. At that moment, Jessica
swept up from the ground, pushed back her hat,
showed her face, flushed from her STOPPING position,
strangely and beautifully changed with the passing
of the years.
The man in the summer house watched the two
approach each other, each with basket in hand;
then turn and come toward the arbor, both faces
bare for his reading. He saw how we'll matched
they were in height and size and years; he saw
them smile at each other; and his fear grew
terrible
He strove to crush it down; struggled for the
strength to go out into the sunlight to meet them

letters faithful endings Your Jessica Yet still
he stood as one rooted to the spot and watched the
pair coming toward him, all unconscious of his
nearness.
They walked in silence for space, and then the
said very low, not low, however that the one
in the arbor could not hear:
This is our last work together Tessica 90
away to-day" &
Jessica's face dropped until the brin of the hat
covered all but her lips and chin, which were trem-
bling. Her hand upon the basket trembled also;
and her voice was unsteady as she answered II

There moments pause between the two,
while unconsciously they halted in the path. Then
the man said:

Abruptly, if she could endure no greater strain
upon her faith could endure not even that frail
weight of duty on her hand, Jessiea flung the basket

Magnetic Survey Yacht at Christ

a cablegram received at the Office OF

the safe arrival Of the magnetic survey
yacht 'Gallnee" at Christchurch. New

servers, and DR.. George Peterson, sur
geon-
This vessel is engaged in charting the
magnetic variations in the Pacific
Ocean Since August J. 1906, the aggre-
gate length of her cruises in the Pacific
Ocean, extending from the Aleutian Is
lands down 10 New Zealand. and from
the Asiatic coast TO the North American
coast, has amounted 70 $500 miles.
The results already obtained have en-
abled the United States Topographic Of
fee to issue recently more correct charts
of the Lines of Equal Magnetic Varia-
tons" for the use of mariners than has
hitherto been possible. 1t was found that
along the tracks pursued by the passen-
ger liners previous charts were out from
three TO five DEGREES matter of no little
practical Importance to have corrected.
II is expected that the "Gallilee.'' after
completing her work at Christchurch,
New Zealand will leave for Callao
Peru, about the middle Of January. 1905.
and will probably arrive at this South
American port shortly after the depart
ure of the Pacific fleet now on her way
10 San Francisco. From Callao the Cal
lilee' win return TO San Francisco, and
close her work about May 3. 1905.
