The remarkable cruise of the At
lantic fleet, recently concluded has
served to provide a universal theme
for the "sweet girl graduate" With
in the last few weeks hundreds of
letters have been received at the Ma
Ivy Department from girls and teach
Iers in various schools throughout the
country asking forinformation as to
the subjects of the cruise to be used
in gradution essays. Only a small
per cent. of such letters have come
from young men. Several clerks In
the department have been kept busy
making replies. A letter TO the Blu
reau of Navigation from an officer
on the battleship Missourla has been
adopted as to the standard for an
swer, and 1t will be sent in stereo-
type to all inqurers hereafter.
| "This cruise has been the finest
thing that ever happened for the
navy" the officer writes, "many q
man which might have spent his
whole enlistment without becoming
a sailor, no matter II he did wear
the uniform. 1t was really hazar-
dous proceeding-starting the fleet
out manned almost entirely by per.
fectly green men, and expecting them
to come back good seamen.
MANY of them had the idea that
the navy was nothing but species
of Imprisonment varied by intervals
of conling ship. But they are ask
ing themselves now whether it may
not be an honor to he In the navy
after all. When they leave here
they will have a great deal more

CHAPTER W., (cOntinued).
Vandraken got into his motor again.
Il don't care where you go, Morton,
but would like to go faster than the
nurses with the perambulators. So
take her. to some place where you
can let her OUT
Richmond Park, sir?" suggested
Morton
'All right; that will do. can lunch
at the Star and Garter"
To Lord Ancestor, who had out
lived the years when the physical i'm
pulse dominates, or to the average
man whose mind is diverted from it
by, the fight for existence, Vandrak-
ems point of view was inconceivable.
twas psychological irony that the
element in this material youth which
made him cling most tenaciously to
the idea of the triumph of the flesh
ever its limitations was the germ of
immortality, and the spiritual es-
sence which he so absolutely denied.
The revolt of man against the
weights and measures of physical eX-
istence, and the relentless fact of
death, has impelled him towards the
recognition of some element in him
self which can defy them. But every
victory man has won in this war
with time and space has dimmed the
goal of his ancient desire. Every in
vention which has pandered to the
comfort of the body has blurred the
image of that paradise which more
uncomfortable generation has set up.
1t is no longer the priest, who eases
the ways of death, on whom civiliza-
vic ftc 1,,,t he yDr
eases and enlarges the ways of life;
the inventor, whether represented by
himself, or the corporation which
has bought or stolen the invention
But the priest still gets the dole, and
will continue to, so long as the fear
of death impels mankind to hedge it's
position. And as the Spectator who
hedges can no longer see the trend
OF the market, so civilized society can
only realize it's true position in the
person of such extreme manifesto
lions as Vandraken; and then only if
it can follow the workings of such a
mind.
Society would have held up it's
hands in horror had they been told
that Vandraken's attempt to extend
the boundaries of the physical was
only the tendency of civilization to
its logical conclusion. The Church
was not striking blindly when, of old,
it struck at Science. 1t was the in
stinct of self-preservation scenting it's
stalking enemy Pointing to product
like Vandraken, it would be justified
in saying, Il told you So"
In trying to realize the tenacity
with which Vandraken chung to his
abnormal project, we must accept the
explanation, then, that it was the re-

who did not know anything about
mining, as he did.
Alas for poor old Buckbarrow! He
studied mining reports and values,
and never heard the word manipula-
ton. He was lamb with long
fleece, but they got it all in the end,
those manipulators. Before Fabian
Dare had finished with Oxford, his
adopted father died in debt and the
young man found himself penniless;
so he came up to London to make his
fortune. Even If he could have held
on till he was ordained, the idea of
being a poor, half-starved clergyman
had no attraction for him. He deter
mined to deliver his message through
literature. OF his relatives he knew
nothing; he was absolutely alone in
the world.
It took the boy some time to dis
cover that the world owes no one
living, least of all to man whose pro-
fession is that of a gentleman; but
gradually he began to realize that
there was no place for him in the
scheme Of civilization. He was proud
at first land only tried to get
BETTING a gentleman. After he had
been hungry for awhile he became
less proud, and sought jobs of any
kind: but he found that however
humble the job, there was always
some degree of skill required; that to
do full days work at the toughest
manual labor requires special knowl-
edge of how to lift a spade, or pick
axe, or something, in such a manner
that there shall be minimum of eff
fort, so that mans energy may last
out the full ten hours And then he
observed that there were thousands
of men. who had both skill and
strength, who could not get work. He
began to realize that nature makes
more of everything than she wants,
and the surplus are the sacrifices
made on the affairs of a civilization
which has become too sensitive to al
low the old barbaric kind of sacrifice.
He observed that modern civiliza-
ton has interfered with the law of the
fittest, so that the useless surplus are
no longer killed, or made slaves of, as
in barbaric days, but are provided by
the workhouse with the means of ex-
istence; and this seemed to Fabian
rather pity 1t robbed him of the
best excuse for suicide, and it gave
society an excuse for not blaming
itself for his fate.

variation is the outcome of buying in
