Wadleigh as a tailor-msde angel
He dropped in the next morning on his
way 10 the Office and found a paper

the paper that had proved so disap-
pointing Marion was there in q ging-

the cloth costume Of the night before. and
Dicks heart beat faster in answer 10
her greeting.
There was something "homely' IN her
appearance that appealed strongly to the
man, who for years had enjoyed but an
occasional glimpse OF home in vacation

by a cap and the piquant face was
flushed with exertlOu. but the heightened
color only added 10 her beauty and the
cap did not shadow the fender light IN

Dick went 70 his Office with HIS head
In a whirl. Ever since he had come 70
the city he had sunk himself IN work
Fortune had come his way rapidly and
up 10 the present he had found work ali

the years had been lonely.

walls were now covered with quiet tones,
and the Powered carpets had been ex-
changed for rugs whose soft tinrs har-

the solid Ofice-iike furniture were lighter
and more tasteful pieces. and the whole
apartment suggested feminine presence.
Best Of all. Marion Wadleigh was there.

WAR CLERK IS SHOT DEAD
HARRY n. HARGRAVES ACCT
IDENTIFY KILLS SELF.
Revolver Goes Off as He Was
Handling It-Tragedy Near
Gordonsville, Va.

Word reached the War Department this
morning that Harry II. Hargraves, clerk
in the Office of the chief of ordnance, met
death from a revolver shot near Gordons-
willie. Va, yesterday. Hargraves was on
leave of absence from the office and was
spending his vacation near Gordonsvile.
SO far only meager details have been
received as to his sudden death. From
these it appears that he started out yes
terday with party of friends to go to a
camp meeting near Gordonsville, and that
when they reached a stopping place he
undertook to take a pistol from under a
seat in the wagon they had used for the
trip.
In some way the pistol was accidentally
exploded. The contents lodged in Har-
graves abdomen. Every assistance was
rendered. Hargraves died two hours after
the accident
His remains were brought to this city
and taken TO Winslows undertaking es-
tablishment. His mother and his wife
who are in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, were notified
OF his death. Arrangements for the fu-
neral will depend on their wishes.
According to Chief Clerk Cook of the
ordnance office Hargraves was one OF
the most efficient clerks in that bureau
He was from Ohio and entered the bureau
as a laborer at $40 month in June
1900. and was promoted through merit TO
a clerkship at S1.+Oo a year. He made a
speciality of the study of civil service re-
form and was regarded as an expert in
that subject.
He had a home on Wisconsin avenue

aurora BoREALIS HERE.
!.
Unusual Sight Witnessed at Naval
: Observatory Last NIGHT.

An unusually brilliant aurora borealis
was observed here last night by the Of
ficials OF the naval observatory. The area
of illumination along the horizon was
very extensive and the rays of brilliant
light at times nearly reached the zenith
From the briliancy OF the illumination 1t
must have been especially spectacular in
the northern ATTITUDES.
Attracted by probably the most remark
able aurora borealis ever witnessed In
that section OF the country. DIR. John A.
Brashear, the astronomer, last night at
PittSburg made a measurement of an i'm
mense sun spot he had just photographed.
This spot covers 2,2J0, 10000 square miles
of the surface of the sun and has a tenn
perature estimated at 60OO0 degrees
above zero.
The aurora borealis flashed in brilliant
shafts from the west 10 the north. The
display lasted nearly six hours.
DR. Brashear believes there is close
connection with the aurora borealis and
sun spots.
II expect we shall hear OF magnetic
disturbances due to these sun spots, said
az. Brashear.
