Coast Defenses.

coast UeIenseS.
Plans for the strengthening OF
the coast defenses in the Narragan-
sett district contemplate the addi-
ton of two new batteries In the
neighborhood of Seaconnet River.
The scheme includes the making OF
Fort Wetherill, at jamestown, the
principal post In the Narragansett
defense district. There is here
large tract OF land available for ad-
ditional defenses. This district is
to be made one of the most import
ant between Boston and New York.
Numerous additions are contemplate
ed for strengthening the general de-
lenses because of the strategical i'm
portance of the place and the fact
that the Navy maintains Its tOrpe-
do and coaling stations here. Ad-
ditional stations for the defenses are
to be erected between Fort Adams
and Seconnet. where batteries would
command landing parties.
The officers and men of the sub
marine branch OF the British navy
are hoping that the new science OF
| sailing ships in the air will be link
ed to their own specially, and that
| to dive below the waves or soar in
the heavens will be considered part
of the duties OF men trained for these
specialties alone, and who will be
kept more or less distinct from the
general run of the fieetmen. Some
time ago, when the plea was put for
ward for special corps for the sub
marine service. instead of concurr-

He was never again seen alive In
Medicine Bend. They tracked him
next day over every foot Of ground
he had covered. They found where
he had left his spent horse and where
afterward he had got the fresh one.
They learned how he had eluded all
the picketing planned for precisely

Wickiup, got upstairs and burst open

Dicksie had on her side that night
One greater than her invincible will

200 miles away.
Barnhardt lost no time In telephon-
ing the Wickiup that Sinclair was in
town, but within an hour, while the
two women were still under the sur

tage door gave them a second fright.
Barnhardt answered the summons. He
opened tho door and, as the man out

hat. the surgeon caught him by the
shoulder and dragged into the house

said, his eyes rowing meantime over

congratulated Barnhardt, and when
Marion came into the room he apollo
gized for the snow he had brought in.
Dicksie heard his voice and cried out

keep her away. and she ran out to
catch his hands and plead with him
not to go away. He tried to assure
her that the danger was over; that

Closing In.
In the morning the sun rose with q
rountain smile. The storm had swept
the air till the ranges shone blue and
the Plain sparkled under a cloudless
sky. Bob Scott and Wickwire, riding
at daybreak. picked up a trail on the
Fence river road. A consultation was
held at the bridge. and within hall
an four Whispering Smith, with I'M
shaken patience. was in the saddle
and following 1t.
With him were Kennedy and Bob
Scott. Sinclair had ridden into the
lines, and Whispering Smith, with his
best two men, meant to put II up to
him to ride out. They meant now to
get him. with a trail or without. and
were putting horsehesh against horse
flesh and craft against craft.
At the forks of the Fence they picked
up Wickwire, Kennedy taking him on
the up road, while Scott with Whisper
ing Smith crossed to the Crawling
Stone. When Smith and Scott reached
the Frenchman they parted r ser in

toward the Park and Williams Cache.
By four o'clock In the afternoon
they had all covered the ground so

their rendezvous on the big Fence
divide, south Of Crawling Stone val
ley. They then found, to their disap-
pointment. that. widely separated as
they had been. both parties were fol-
lowing trails they believed to be good.
They shot a steer. tagged 1t, ate din
ner and supper in one. and separated
under Whispering Smiths counsel
that both the trails bo followed into
the next morning-in the belief that
one OF them would run out or that
the two would run together. At noon
the next day Scott rode through the
Lills from the Fence. and Kennedy
With Wlckwire came through Two
Feather pass from the Frenchman
with the report that the game had left
their valleys.
Without rest they pushed on. At
the foot Of the Mission mountains
they picked up the tracks of a party
of three horsemen. Twice within ten
miles afterward the men they we're
following crossed the river. Each
time their trail. with some little diff

No man IN Medicine Bend knew Sim
clair more thoroughly or feared him
less than Barnhardt. No man could
better meet him or speak to him with
less Of hesitation. Sinclair, as he
faced Barnhardt. was not easy in spite
of his logged self-control; and he was
standing, much to his annoyance, In
the glare of an arc-light that swung
across the street in front of the shop.
He was well aware that no such light
had ever swung within a block of the
shop before and In II he saw the hand
of Whispering Smith. The light was
unexpected, Barnhardt was a surprise,
and even the falling snow, which pro-
tected him from being seen 20 feet
away, angered him. He asked CURLY
who was Ill. and without awaiting an
answer asked for his wife.
