turned surprised eye on Hodge.
What for?" asked he.
'To ask Isabel to marry me" said
Hodge.
Heating was on his feet.
"My Lord! You unfathomable
chump!"
"Of course" said Hodge. "Sit
down" A strange Wilderness marked
his eye. He said no more for quar-
ter of an hour; then he leaned slowly
forward, with a finger in the air.
Robert Heating, I am chump,
said he, speaking with decision. Let
that stand. The reason | speak of
her calmly is because my feeling for
her is the force that moves every
thing in me. never learned any
thing by hearsay in my life. I'm not
going to take the worlds idea Of this
for granted now. Because every one
would say the gulf can not be bridg-
ed, am going to find out whether it
can or not. l am too plain for or
namentation. My feeling is too pro-
found for ornamentation. You are
a friend of mine and | give you
my explanation. What is more,
will put on no exterior badges
of social position to which my
nature is foreign. | will not
learn to dress differently. I will
not work slowly into this upper
class and learn to conduct myself
Alright at her parties. / will not join
her church. I will not pretend, or
strive after, an education such as Is
hers and her fathers, and in COM
parison to which whatever I might
plaster on would be but a rag. Rob-
ert Heating, you and l are raised on
a mental milk made out of these
sentences: All men are created
equal. There is no class in America.
Riches and poverty make no differ
ence. The clothes are not the man
None shall be deprived of rights be-
cause Of religious belief Honesty
and cleanliness make all men broth
ers. Power, standing alone, will
conquer" He paused, then resumed.
II am going to see if all those things
are words.'
To no other man had he ever spok-
en- his thoughts; Heating had never
seen into him SO far before.
A half-hour later Martin P. Hodge
was admitted into Judge Hayden's
parlor and Isabel had shaken hands
with him pleasantly. That was his
first visit there. He had never be-
fore, anywhere, looked so completely
and hopelessly chump Isabel, now
twenty-one years of age, was tall and
wore glasses. She had a face that
spoke first of all, and above ALL in
telligence. Her hair was auburn
and waved a little round a white
forehead Her nose was straight,
her lips were very sensitive, her chin
was of an honest Grecian outline.
She had laid down a volume of Mon
taigne's essays to receive him. Her
dress, dark green, 1oated away beau
tifully at the side of her chair.

OF the great fire which swept away mil

made yesterday from Chicago pulpi,
that the COW had kicked over the lamp

Jim.

ENGLAND TO BUILD
GREAT WARSHIPS

London, November 29.-The keel
plates of two monster warships. the
Orion, the improved Dreadnought bat
tleship, and the Lion. the cruiser bat
tleship, were laid today, the formers at
Portsmouth and the latter at Devon
port.
The bulk of the material for both
vessels is ready and all arrangements
have been made for their completion
within two years. The construction OF
the Lion will mark a notable stage of
evolution Of the cruiser battleship. 81 Q
will have 10000 horsepower, while her
immediate predecessor had $1,000. She
will displace $1,000 tons and her
length will be 700 feet, constituting her
the longest man-of-war ever laid down.
What is technically known as her
run of deck" indicates an intention to
equip the cruiser battleship with ten
12-inch guns, thus placing her as re-
CARDS armament on an equality with
the latest battleships. She will prob
ably have a nominal speed Of 81 knots
