"That Done"

Bill"

the aggrieycd Mr. Prout; but don't
come any nonsense over me, for

The Arklam was nearing Chicago
when Capt Brundage, sitting alone
in his cabin and figuring desperately
on some means Of escape from the
net fate had thrown around him,
looked mp In surprise as Miss Polly
entered and closed the door Gehind
her with an emphatic slam That
done, she sat down and surveyed her
quondam sutor with malicious eyes.
Brundugc stared back with a sickly
smile, wondering inwardly what her
visit might portend lie was not
left long in doubt
She suddenly stretched forth a slim,
white hand. and tore the black beard
from his face. Then she set her little
foot upon II and spoke with much
unction.
What an awful silly you are, Jim
BrundaEe, to think that you could pull
the wool over my eyes"
The captain wagged his head dis.

isn't your falseness, but the idea that
you considered me such a fool. I've
found out all about you, and unless
you want your wife 10 know every,

When you passed yourself on as a
single man you showed me your
handbook and calculated that $500
would start us nicely In housekeeping.
Now. when we reach Chicago, Jimmy
dear. you'll go straight to the bank,
draw $3.50, and hand II over TO me.
Then IN say good'by and you can
thank your stars for getting on so
easily"
The unmasked conspirator Bwore
bitterly and protested feryently, but
Miss Polly was adamant and he finally
agreed 10 her terms. His disclosure
TO MIR Prout Of the conditions upon
which he had surrendered was re-
colyed by that unfeeling seaman with
hoarse laugh. which was distinctly

JOKER IN NAVY BILL
BattIeships Authorized, but Mon-
 ey Tor Them Is Withheld.
PRESIDENT NOTES OMISSION.
He Will Veto Measure Unless Cash Provision Is lnserted-Senators De- clare Matter Is Not Unprecedented or Important.

or Important.
 Washington, April 23. Senators Lodge and Beveridge have made the discovery that there is joker in the naval appropriation bill. This joker" is credited with nuilifying the authori- ty given to build two battleships.
 The naval appropriation bill as pass ed by the house authorizes the con. struction of two battleships at cost of $6,000O00 each but does not appropri- ate one dollar to pay for them.
 Senators Lodge and Beveridge ap- pear to be of the opinion that nothing but plans can be prepared unless the money is positively appropriated. But some other senators point out that the naval bill of 1907 authorized the build ing of two battleships in precisely the same manner and that work was at once begun. They declare no decep tion is intended. Nevertheless Sena- tors Lodge and Beveridge will make determined fight to have the actual ap- propriation made according to the pres ident's wishes.
 The president stated his position on this point with equal emphasis and suddenness upon learning that the bill as passed by the house was simply a paper provision for naval increase. Authorization of the ships was made, but no money carried to make the pro- vision effective. Such legislation as this, the president declared to his nu- merous congressional callers, was a travesty as to effectiveness as well as bearing all the earmarks of legislative legerdemain intended to make ridicu- lous his campaign for the greater navy.
 Hale to Propose Appropriation.
 That the presidents quick and vigor- ous action is to be effective is evi- denced by the action of Chairman Hale of the senate naval committee in an- nouncing that at the proper time he will propose the -S7.00O,000 additional. | As to his threat of veto. the president made in plain that should the wisdom of congress result in the passage of a bill providing for no naval increase whatever he would have no ground on which to veto the measure. Any at tempt at what he regards as travesty on legislation by authorizing the ships [ but not approprating for them, he de- clares he will defeat by the exercise of his constitutional power of veto.
 There is not the slightest indication that the president has ceased his f1gh. for four new battleships, according to the evidence of senators who talked with him. Senators who are with the president in his fight on this propost tion admit that careful survey of their strength in the senate gives but a vote of twenty-six in that body in ia. vor of the presidents naval programme for four ships.
