CHAPTER VII.
A Peep Into Paradise,

In San Francisco after three years
of exile Alfred found a home. Judge
Harmon made him welcome as a son;
and Alfred did not stay long enough
to discover that other young men
shared with him the judges fatherly
attitude.
Mrs. Harmon was a child-hungry
woman, nc longer young in years,
though her heart would never forget
rs. A favorite, a social authority and
leader, she launched Alfred immediate
ly and successfully among the people
he most needed to meet. Posing as a
Boston sightseer, he was accepted
with a hospitality known only in Ken
lucky and in old San Francisco; and
he found no lack of alluring eyes and
smiles, albeit every woman was a
belle.
Society, fast and feverish, curious,
fascinating, opulent, was the s~peediest
vehicle by which he could arrive at
his purpose; for society in San Fran
cisco was still too new to divorce
itself from the golden enterprises that
made it. His success astonished him
self. Men whose intentions he ex-
pected to learn through patient
acumen talked openly of their affairs
with the railroad men. Even m
made Of the Central Pacific railroad
and it's projectors a continuous joke.
Alfred wondered. He could not then,
as afterwards, realize that, to every
thorough-going San Franciscan, Cali
fornia was but a storehouse, a kitchen
garden, at most a tribute-bringing
suburb of the gay city by the Golden
Gate. Nothing outside mattered. To
them the s~and-duned cusp, struggled
over with it's fimsy, gibbous houses,
was as truly the whole world as eve
was the Eternal City to old Roman.
So secrets fell unearned into Al
fred's keeping. Red lips told him tales
between their smiles, every word a
| prize. Business men, talking glibly
| of inland transportation, dismissed the
transmontane railroad with a yawn,
yet went wild I'VE the deiusion of San
Joaquin valley petroleum. And Alfred
drove, sang, dined, danced merrily to
his goal; and babe goodbye to his
entertainers the very day he read
Phineas CadWallader's name on the
Lick house register.
He reported in Sacramento, received
instructions, and incidentally CON.
mendation. Hastily he made the
changes called for by the step from
! jasmine-hung San Francisco to ice.
bound Carson City. And the second
day after leaving salt water he swung
into Sally BIS to find Stella away,
across the gulch, watching in a house
of mourning.
All the way from Sacramento, while
the little steam bantam bumped over
the unsettled roadbed, Alfred had re-
hearsed his expected interview with
Stella. He did not admit his love; he
had no right to it. Friendly interest,
the duty of courtesy to n so forlorn
and so placed in his care-those were
all. His own eyes must prove the
truth of her letters, which told scantly
Of her good health and fine situation.
He would sit by her side the short
hour before the stage left, hear in de.
tail her life in California.

The place to which the lover Of
English literature will sooner or
later turn his steps is Twickenham.
No other small town can boast of hav.

abode of SO many famous literary

With it are associated the immortal
uames Of Pope, Horace Walpole,
Swift, Gay, Lady Wortley Montagu,
Gibbon, Boswell, Johnson, Tennyson
and Dickens. Surely this is enough
to make any place doubly immortal!
T~wickenham was well nicknamed by

Uncle Billy's face sprang from De-
cember to May; and he turned quickly
to the rocky trail that led back to
town.
Stella! The lonely nan sped down
the red, muddy trail, his fatigue ban
ished by the magic of her name! He
looked up through the overarching
fretwork of pine and cedar to heavens
blue beyond, and the poet stirred in
his heart, Weakened by the memory of
her face. Winter-blue skies, the thin,
fragrant air, whispering pines, even
the red, warm face Of the appearing
mountain, all had a secret word for
him to-day. Would she love him still ?
Or had new scenes, new faces, filled
her life, left no small chamber in her
heart labeled Uncle Billy?"

soft voice and her gentle movements,
inheritances from a father bred out
Of his proper environment. She held
wild buttercups and ~violets, which she
carried to her grandmother.
The old face flooded with a sudden
glory. She took the flowers in both
hands, gently pressed them to lip and
cheek, drew long whiffs of their
fragrance, turned them from side to
side, peered questioningly into their
sun-filled hearts-it was pitiful the
ecstasy a flower could bring to this
shut-in soul.
"Where'd you git 'em, honey?" she
asked in the thick voice of the deaf.
Instantly Viola caught up her grand
mothers crutch, bent back her foot,

"Stlange man-me no sabe."
Stella followed him into the narrow
hall and out on the porch.
"Oh. Uncle Billy I'm so gladi"
1t was almost as IL her father stood
before her. She threw her arms around
his neck and kissed him on each
cheek.
The old driver was speeches. with
delight. If he could only have been
her father! Yet this was the next best
thing. She loved him! She had kissed
him!
Stella drew him into the hall, looked
him up and down, .patted his hand,
took off his hat and peered into his
face, trying to see if he was quite
well, the same Uncle Billy she had
known so long, ever since that won

when she had sat by his side, in
black sandals, white stockings, panta-

What pride she had taken in that
bride!

He went to the door, picked up a
small bandbox and brought 1t to her.
Stella opened it. Within was a
scrap of scarlet silk and lace for which
some milliner had swindled Uncle
Billy out of $40. Stella's best gown
was bright magenta, Gideon's gift. She
would have to wear them both, and

BIG ENGINES Of WAR
HOW 13-lNcH GUNS OF BATTLE
SHIPS ARE HANDLED.
Every Member of Crew Has Certain
Duties to Perform When in Ae-
ton Firing Done with
Aid of ~Ranqe-Finder.

Washington.-If a visitor were to
go aboard n of our modern war
ships n of the first things he would
ask to see, probably, would be the big
guns.
Should the visitor request, an W
willing bluejacket would crafty the
visitors wish.
But the visitor is not conscious that
he is an object of much amusement to
the man-o'war's men. There are
things to be seer that the average
civilian lever dreams of, and his
amazed glances when these are point
ed out to him cause the lips of the
gunner to run up a smile.
Suppose you wish to see one of the
big guns. You ask the nearest gun
e He doffs his cap and asks you
politely to excuse him for a moment
while he obtains permission to show
you into the turret where the big gun
is mounted. This permission he gets
from the officer of the deck.
He returns quickly and asks you to
follow him. The only entrance to this
turret from the main deck is through
a manhole. If you are portly, the
chances are that you'll not see the
gun after all, for these steel manholes
weren't designed for fat persons.
But, taking it for granted that you
are thin, you finally find yourself in
side the armored walls. You turn
about expectantly and are face to face
with the de%ath-dealing implements.
There they stand, silent and grim,
twin engines of destruction, peaceful
enough in repose, but terrible when
manned by their human masters.
The members of a guns crew are
numbered and each nan must not
only know his own duty, but also that
c. the others, as they may be called
on at any moment for a change of po-
Sition.
For instance, No. 1, operating the
breech plug of the gun, is command
ed by the officer in charge, "No. 1 and
No. s change"
No. l must know No. SIS duties, and
No. 5 those of No. 1.
This is done SO that if while in &C

On Getting Up Early.

often hear fellows say that their
life consists solely of coming down to
business, and sleep, says a writer.
What a different tale they would tell
If they were only to get up early and
go out of doors before they need think
Of business! Even if they only rose
early nee a week, that morning would
stand ahead of the other six. There
is a freshening and invigorating power
in the early morning air which only
early risers may enjoy. Ask anybody
who is accustomed to rising early
and going for a ride or a walk before
breakfast how much filter they feel
to face their daily toll.
