CAPTAIN ROGERS RETIREs.
Has Been Head of Second Company
c. A. c., for Three Years.

Capt. Ernest z. Rogers, commanding
the Second company, Coast Artillery
corps, at New London, has applied to
the headquarters, Hartford, to be
placed on the retired list and is prac-
tically out of the service, the formality
of being retired being all that remains.
The date will probably be Nov. 2.
Pressure Of business is the reason
for Captain Rogers resignation. He
has been in the service seven years,
enlisting as private. when Capt. Hadlai
A Hull formed the First company
Coast Artillery corps. Mr.. Rogers was
the second man sworn into the Con-
necticut Coast Artillery corps, the com
pany being the first formed in the
state. Mr.. Rogers was advanced to
sergeant, and when Captain Hull be-
came major he appointed Mr.. Rogers
staff adjutant with the rank of first
lieutenant. In November, 1906, Lieu
tenant Rogers was elected captain of
the Second company.
The new captain will be First Lieut..
Erastus J. McGlafn, who has been in
the service fourteen years. In that
event Second Lieut. A. A. Brownell
would probably be promoted to the first
lieutenancy. The second lieutenancy
would probably fall to Sergt. Joseph
Silva.

CHAPTER XIII.
The End of the World.

H4
|3 n the morning he met Miss
Leslie with a sullen bear
Ia ing, which. however, did
not altogether conceal his desire to
lie on friendly terms. Having re-
GAINED her s]elf-controI, she responded
10 this with such tact that by evening
each felt more at ease in the new re
iationship, and Blake had lost every
trace of his moroseness. The fact
that both were passionately fond of
music proved an immense help. II
gave them an impersonal source Of
mutual sympathy and understanding
IA common moeting-grpund In the
world of art and culture. apart from
and above the plane OF their material
wants.
Yet for all his enjoyment of the
girls wide knowledge of everything
1~elating to music, Blake took are
mat their talks and discussions did
rot interfere with the activities of
their primitive mode of life. Al soon
as he had finished with the barricade
he devoted himself to his tailoring
md shoe-making; while Miss Leslie,
between her cooking and w~ood-gather-
ing and daily visits to the cliff for
Eggs had much to occupy both her
thoughts and her hands.
At first every ascent of the cliff was
embittered by a painful consciousness
If the cairn over the north edge. For
funately it was not in sight from the
direct path to the headland, and, as
she refrained from visiting it, the new
happenings of her wild life soon thrust
W%inthrope and his death out of the
foreground of her thoughts. Each day
she had to nerve herself to meet the
beaks and wings of the despoiled nest
owners; each day she looked with
greater hope for the expected rescue
ship. only to be increasingly disap-
pointed.
But the hours she spent on the cliff
crest after gathering the days supply
Of eggs were not spent merely in
watching and longing. The inconyen-
fences of carrying the eggs in a hand
kerchief or in n of the heavy jars
suggested a renewal of her attempt at
matchmaking. Memory, p~erseyer-
ance and a trace of inyentiveness en-
abled her to produce a small but
seryiceable hamper of split bamboo.
Encouraged by this success she
gathered a quantity Of tough, why
grass, and woye a hat to AXE the
place of the fimsy palm-leaf make
shift. The result was by no mean
satisfactory with regard TO STYLE its
