ing to America. She was ad-
vtsed BY q business acQuaint-

which she had saved beyond her pas

to New York. II she could get 1t
through the custom house free Of duty
abe would add considerably to her lit
tie capital. She was informed that
nothing ono wears is dutiable. There

black lace she set about decorating her
clothing with It in such fashion that
It would not likely be noticed by the
custom house ofncials. With the black
lace she trimmed her mantle. putting
on. Of course. q profusion. while the
white was made into dounces on her
dress beneath.
Gretchen crossed the ocean in the
sweet summer time. when it was de-
lightful to sit on deck and watch the
green waves, the gulls and the blue
heavens far ashore. by day and the
starry dome by night. Besides. the
moon was at the full and. beginning
with the twilight. rose later every
evening. Gretchen was alone, but a
young man. an invalid. on the first day
out sat In his steamer chair near her
and formed her acquaintance Though
the weather was warm, he was invari-
ably wrapped in an ulster. He told
Gretchen that he had dropsy.
Gretchen. lonely herself, understood
more perfectly the feelings Of this
young man, who was not only unat:
tended. but i'll. She therefore devoted
herself to him. Every morning at 10
o'clock when the weather was fine
and 1t was fine throughout the voyage
she would place the young mans
chair for him in a sheltered nook,
cover him with rugs, talk to him, read
to him and in every way in her power
contribute to his comfort. The invalid
seemed profoundly grately for these
attentions. When she put a pillow un-
der his head he would look into her
eyes what was more than gratitude
He regretted that he could make no
return for her attention except help to
improve her English, which was very
imperfect. 1t is but natural that with
the language Of love passing between
for Gretchen was becoming attached
to her charge, they should get on rap
idly with mere commonplace express
sions. The young man had had good
education in the public schools and
seemed quite ambitious to succeed in
life. This made Gretchen's heart bleed
for him. She would wrap his ulster
more closely about him. and he would
look up with that grateful. languid
smile so touching in an invalid.
When they approached New York
Gretchen began to be worried about
her lace. She craved sympathy and
conf1ded her secret to her friend. He
reassured her by telling her that II

and the two approached Gretchen.

the officer at once turned poor Gretch-

her thoroughly and cOnfscated every

nothing to Gretchen compared with the
shock the mans treachery caused her.
She left the dock weeping. But 1t was

sage how near the shot went to the YES
sci. Then the gunner gets his range,
and the next shot does its work. Half
dozen Of the weapons could put 4
whole fleet out of action without the
men on shore even getting a GLIMPSE
of the tops Of the fighting masts.
The sixteen inch gun was the first Of
a series Of similar gigantic weapons
proposed for the seacoast defenses Of
the United States a number of years
ago. The Endicott board, which had
the whole subject Of coast defenses
under consideration, reached the con-
clusion that eighteen Of these guns
should be provided for the protection
Of New York, ten at San Francisco
eight at Boston and four at Hampton
Roads. Later it was decided that the
gigantic guns were not needed, as the
fourteen inch would answer the pur-
pose just as well.
With the fortifcations now protect
ing the coasts the American people
need have no fear Of an invading en-
emy such as was felt during the Span
tsh-American war, when screaming
headlines appeared in sensational
newspapers reading. Firing Heard or
Sandy Hook" or "Cervera Now Plan
ming to Attack New York"
Should the foe have been one Of the
stronger countries instead Of poor,
weakened, enervated Spain, there is
no telling what might have happened
to the cities on the coast line. They
all were open to attack, only obsolete
guns and inadequate forts protecting
any Of them.
IMPREGNAsLE HARsoRs
Now all that is changing. Today an
invader would be met with a startling
reception all the way from Portland,
Me-, to Puget sound. Every impor-
tant harbor is being put into such u
shape that there is not feet in exist
ence which could hope to force an en-
trance. High powered guns. mortars,
searchlights and fire control and all the
other necessities to make an up to date
coast defense complete will in the fu-
ture protect Uncle Sam.
On viewing the forts which command
the harbors those who are uninitiated
would be surprised to know that these
! are the least an enemy would fear.
The danger lies not with them, but
with what Is to be found behind the
grassed topped sand piles which are in
the neighborhood Of the forts. There
are stationed the heavy guns. Behind
those little hillocks lies the safety of
every coast city in the nation. The
hidden mortars found here can be re-
lied on to sink any fleet that might be
sent against them. The mortars are
gigantic short muzzled guns that NAV
shoot at any angle short Of straight
up, and when it is known that they
have record Of 70 hits out Of a pos.
sible 100 shots 1t will be seen that they
have business way Of doing things.
