 Want Third Fort. The refusal of the house of repre- sentatives to incorporate in the fortificatlon bill the appropriation of s150000 for site for ! coast defense on Cape Henry was a sharp disappointment to most of the good Vlrginians in the house. to a good many aymy officers and unques- tionably to the entire population of the tIde-water section of the old Do minion.
 Fort Monroe today has the safety of several American cities in its keep ing It Is the outpost defense of Washington and Baltimore. and with Fort Wool 1t stands as sentinel keeping watch over Norfolk and Rich mond. The army men and the Vir- ginians think that third sentinel should be posted, but congressman have taken Issue with them Across the minglIng waters of Chesapeake bay and the ocean lies Cape Charles. whose rough coast Is visible on clear days to the gunners on Monroes par apets but if what has been said by supposed experts Is true. no protectlle which the big guns Of the fort can hurl ever Is likely to prove effective against battleships steaming into the channel close under the Charles pro montory to make the run up the wa ters leading to the capital
 The forts at Cape Henry southward across the entrance to the inland wa ters, army men seem to think, would nearly perfect the system of defense. but the proposal for a Cape Henry forttfeatton is only one Of several plans which have been made from time 10 time to complete the defenses Of the harbor. bay and river.
 Hints at Selfish interest
 There was plan first to build fort on Cape Charles itself but later this was changed in favor of a plan to plant big guns on a half submerged island midway of the entrance to the Chesapeake This plan was consid- cred by congress several years ago. and there were hints that some selfish interests were connected with It, but no enc ever made a direct charge, and there never was any proof advanced of what were but whispered insinuar tions
 It seems to be the full belief Of many army officers that one day an ad- ditional fortifcation in the vicinity of the Virginia capes will be author ized by congress. AS things are now t is said that foreign fleet with pilot deserving the name on board the leading ship. could slip into the Chesapeake under cover Of haze while the shore artiiIerymen. no mat ter how watehful would know nothing of the movement until there was no target to fire at, but the broad wakes of the invading vessels
 Fort Monroe Is said to be bull wark of defense in itself. but t seems even to the layman that the picture drawn by some of the con gressmen of capital laid waste by the guns Of q foreign fleet or by troops which had secured a landing back of the present Qualifications. is drawn with free hand guided by freer imagination. If vessels should succeed in getting by Fort Monroe they would have hard time getting up the Potomac river. for below Washington the Potomacs channel is safe guarded

 Hits at Commerce Court.
 Representative Thetus Wilrette Sims of Tennessee is the repre- sentative in congress who intro dueed the bill to abolish the com. merce court. It probably will be re- membered by most newspaper read CTS that the commerce court disa- greed with good many of the find ings Of the interstate commerce com mission. and that the Supreme court stood by the commission. in some in- stances at any rate. and as a result there has been a good deal of agita- ton In favor of abolishing the so- called railroad court This tribunal was created in part by the direct recommendation of President Taft. and there seems 10 be little likeli. hood at this session at any rate that any strong attempt will be made to get a bill through congress which shall wipe the court out of existence.

Manager Callahan and his
white-hosed band of, ball tossers
are leading the American league
today, with a, margin of one full
game over the nearest rival. The
: Sox may not stick there, but the
brand of ball they have been play
ing is classy enough to make
them contenders for the pennant
throughout the season.
Hitting has usually beeno a
minus quantity on the South Side.
Notso this year. The Sox are all
cloutingo the ball, going into dou-
bic figures in the hit column near
ly every day. Yesterday they
amassed Is safetiesy for a total Of
17(bases.
Frank LANCE, who obliged for
Comiskey last year principally as
a pinch hitter, twirled his first
league game of the season yes
terday, and was master all the
way. His control was good, and
his steadiness when hits meant
runs held the Maps to one run,
though they made nine hits.

Illinois Aero club are completing

blackness of midnight and found him
self ready.
He CROPPED his way to the shed he
had seen from the governors window;
with his old boyish agility he scram-
bled up It's sloplng roof and felt for the
coping he had notlced-the coping
wide enough for q mans foot; he had
found II; he had found q water pipe
above to help him stand on It; he was
on the coping, face fiat to tho wall,
working his way with Infinite delicate
care to the window Of the governor.
He never knew how long hat part
took; 1t seemed q great while, though
not many feet lay between the shed
and the window. Then he felt the
stone sill Of the window; his hand
crept up; 1t was open-wide open.
With a strong pull he had swung him
self over and stood In the dark, In the
governors bedroom.
Stood and listened, hardly daring for
the first instant to draw the long
breath he sorely needed. Then he
smiled. No necessity for that caution
at least. The governor was snoring a
heavy aggressive snore which would
have drowned most noises. Francois

MANS LOVE FOR THE DOG

The day before | reached Chitna

pies on his back. He had the mother

had been three days 1.-TWO OF them

he had frozen his feet and hands so
badly as a result that | am afraid he

and toes.

1,000-mile trip in 81 days with the
same five dogs with which | started,
and that not one Of them had even a
sore foot during the entire journey.
In fact, before / started Psyriak had
cut his left hind foot, which made 1t
necessary to mucklock it, but when
finished my journey he was in better
condition than at first.
Not once during the whole way did
| sit on the sled; | pushed 1t for at

It's clothing catching fire from an open
crate has moved Coroner Jamison to
admonish parents that the safety OF
their loved one is imperiled by the
tolerance in homes of unscreened
CRATES and gas stoves. Year after
year the advent OF cold weather has
marked the beginning OF a long list
Of fire fatalities, probably the most
agonizing form of death, and yet, in
spite Of such warnings, the unscreen-
ed crate is the exception and not the
rule. In the months of January and
February of the present year no less
than 20 children were burned to death
as a result OF the use OF open coal
and gas CRATES. and during the year
many women have met n similar fate.

stood quiet till his eyes had grown &C
customed to the shadows, and then
they searched about quickly. All!
there they were, the governors clothes.
On n chair by his bed. With wary
steps he stole across. He lifted off
one or two things and suddenly there
was a jingle.
"Ah!" growled the governor and
flung out his hand, and the snore came
to a full stop.
The hand searched the darkness a
second; all but touched that of Fran
co.'s, then fell Imply, the head turned
away, with a deep sigh. Like a statue
Francois stood, frozen to the floor, and
dared not look at the figure stirring in
the bed, for fear his gaze might awake
the sleeper. For he slept; the sound
of the keys had only Jared some
chord in his uneasy dream. Long min
utes after the snoring was in full prog
ress again Francois waited, and then
with careful fingers he clasped the en-
tire bunch of keys softly and carried
them into the next ROOM.
There was a low light there, on the
writing-table. Francois slipped the
thin, old, brass key which he knew off
from the bunch; he glanced about
quickly and found the flint and steel
on its table and put them in his peck.
ct: he took down that small saber,
with It's well-polished %scabbard, and
buckled It about himself; then a
thought came to him. A sheet Of pa
per lay on the governors writing-table
as II he had been about to write a let
ter; pen and ink were ready. The
prisoner dropped into the governors
chair and wrote:
my dear count, I cannot run away
without leaving a good-by for you and
a word Of thanks for the kindness you
have shown me. Be sure | shall not
forget our evenings together and shall
be glad when | hear of your promo
ton, as | am sure | shall hear. |
heartily hope / am not going to make
trouble for you. But ! have to go-you
will understand that. With a thousand
thanks again am, count, your CRATE
full prisoner-Francois Beaupre."
Still the count snored. Francois,
alert, stood and listened as he folded
the note carefully and laid 1t under a
weight on the table. Then he tempted
Providence no longer. He slid the bat
tered, bright, old, brass key softly In
to the lock, let himself into the dark
stairway, relocked the door on the in
side, CROPPED his way painfully down
the steep stairs into the wine-cellar,
and when he felt a level floor under
his feet struck q light with the gov
errors flint and steel. He lighted
of his candle ends. The ~wine-cellar,
which he had left only two hours be-
fore, seemed almost homelike; It
lacked the governor, that was all. He
crossed to the projecting stone in the
north wall, and pressed the corner of
the stone below. Nothing happened.
Hurriedly he pressed 1t again, harder,
but the cold even surface of the wall
stared him blankly In the face. Again
he pushed-with no result. A sickness
came I'VE him. Was all his labor and
peril to go for nothing? Was he to be
caught again and thrust back, this
time into some far worse dungeon?
How had he dared to hope! The en-
trance was closed, o%vergrown, the
masonry had grown solid with years
and dampness.
