The warden was vastly amused at
this remark, which the young girl rem
dered with the iinality of unquestioned
authority.
TOO youngr he laughed. "Age
doesn't cut any figure in crime the
way you mean. It's some of these
young fellows that will take chance
at anything. You see, they're ambi-
uous. They're anxious to rise in their

before his allotted time expired he
threw the lock, opened, on the ward

seamy face contorted into what he
considered was smile he inclined his
head to one side. From his throat
came inartlculate squeals of glee-ex-
actly the squeals of a rut.
Only the watchfulness of Smith
saved the RAT from the violent
iespairing onslaught of the German,
who screamed: "Fll Kill hint He ruin

BUILT RATTLEsHIP
BY UNION LABOR

Washington, Sept. Work on
Uncle Sans greatest and latest
dreadnought. the battleship New
York, has been begun. The vessel
will be built in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and will, when completed, be
another tribute to the skill of orga-
'nized labor.
The plan to build the dreadnought
in a government yard has met with
considerable opposition. 1t was as,
serted that the vessel could not be
built on the original amount appro-
priated for that purpose on account OF
the hour day in operation in govern
Hment plants. The appropriation was
increased however and the battleship
will be built by the government.
Before work was begun it was found
necessary to take off piece of a cor
ner of building, in order that the
ways might be. heightened.
