The disposition of about thirty
ships, which have been made prac-

ships by the rapid development in the
construction of naval vessels and the
increased efficiency of the more re-

elder sergeants, attended by their gal

merry time of it. The moon shone in
brilliance. The night air, frosty and
still, was full Of exhilaration. The Of.
ficer Of the guard, merely cautioning
the jewellers to control their impulse to
shout, had gone on his way with i'm
piled permission to keep up the fun,
and presently other officers appeared
upon the brow Of the bluff, interested
observers.

something in Kate's determined silence
and Miriam's insistence added to the
effect of these rumOrs.
Then another thing weighed heavily
upon the brave heart Of this loving
friend and mother. Never had she
known her child to be so silent, so
strange. as now Ever since Friday
night she seemed to avoid all mention
of the affair. to shrink from the sub

They smiled at the idea Of the pay

garrison were out in force at night
rejoicing in the snow sports. The men

officers lines were playing hide and

the northward end Of the parade.
Captain Sumter had been sent for
and was admitted to five minute talk

came away with grave and troubled
face to ten minutes conference with
his gentle wife that left her sorely
