heard the quick thump Of Oscars feet

surface Of the pasture was rougher to

hound in the Claiborne stable yard
bayed suddenly. and the sound echoed
from the surrounding houses and drift

noble music rose from the kennels.
Captain Claiborne. waiting for his
sister on the veranda, looked toward

Zmai approached the sheep sheds
rapidly. with still hundred yards to
traverse beyond them before he should
reach the pasture wall. His rage at
thus being driven by a small man for
whom he had great contempt did not
help his wind or stimulate the flight of
his heavy legs. and he saw now that
he would lessen the narrowing margin

now the crumpled, blood stained paper

Plans.

The General Board Of the Navy De-

Admiral Pillsbury. chief Of the Bureau
Of Navigation, by direction OF the Sec
rotary OF the Navy. has taken up con-
slderation OF the Itinerary for the re-
turn II the feet from the West 10 the
East coast. A number Of changes viii
be necessary, because OF the visit to
Japan.
The question Of saving time by send
ing the feet direct TO Japan from Aus
tralia and then TO Manila and home.
instead Of visiting Manila before going
10 Japan, is one that must be settled.
1t is the intention 70 adhere 10 the orig
inaI program as closely as possible, BY
which It was intended to send the feet
from San Francisco to Honolulu, to
Samoa and then 70 Sydney. Since it has
already been announced that the fleet
would visit Australia first, It IS not con
sidered good taste in naval circles to
change that plan even 10 save time.
President Roosevelt desires 70 vel
come the feet back home, having a
grand review just as he did when the
ships sailed from Norfolk, December Is.
Since the Japan visit was decided upon,
however, it is doubtful II the feet can
be brought home before the President
retires next March.
The repairs and maneuvers which
have already been planned FOR the feet
are such that It cannot possibly leave
san Francisco before July g. and in
order 20 bring It home before March IL
