Maybe he looked down upon her. for
surely he was OF a superior race: OF
that she was quite positive.
And 30 Nadara was very miserable
and unhappy and hopeless as the brutal
Flatfoot dragged her far into the tall
jungle grass. Presently she noticed
that tho cave man repeatedly cast
giances toward the rear.
What could he expect from that difec.
ton. or from any direction Whatever.
so far as that was concernedf Were
Nhey not days and days from their own
people. and In land where there
seemed no men at all3
Flatfoot heard no sign Of pursuit. He
was growing more confident The

surrounding Jungle.
There he watched for little until
he discerned movement OF the grass

that II was but n matter OF trailing.
When Flatfoot saw what ne took TO
be his enemy he threw Nadara across
his shoulder and started on run In
the opposite dlrertion-at right angles
10 the way he had been going.
The ruse proved good. for when Waldo
came to the point at which ne mad
figured his path would cross tho cave
mans he found no sign OF tho latter,
and In searching about to locate the
trail lost many minutes OF valuable
time. But at last he came upon rhat
which he sought. and with redoubled
speed set out at a rapid run through
the tall grasses.
He had proceeded but a short distance
when the trail broke suddenly into tho

he had seen from the hill that had given
him his feeting glimpse OF Nadara.

1t Is predicted by Richard H. Rob-

signed the new battleship Pennsyl-

years from now will have such draft
and such length q to prohibit their
entering any American port save that
Of New York, and but few Of any 9th.
or country. Warships ten years hence,
BE says. will be 30 large that they win
be barely able to squeeze through the
locks of the Panama canal: that is,
they will be little less than 1000
feet long. shout 106 feet beam, have
draft OF about 80 feet and 4 displace-
ment Of approximately $4,000 tons.

AscERTAiN,Ne THE COST.

Efforts are being made by the
navy department to ascertain the cost
OF building the two fuel ships author.
lied by the last naval appropriation
act The cost not to exceed $1,140,00
each, that they shall be built at
navy yards, and that one of them
shall be built at a navy yard on the
Pacific coast, leaving 1t discretionary
with the navy department at what
yard the other shall be constructed.
With view to ascertaining the
cost Of construction at the different
navy yards tentative plans have been
sent out The estimate from the
New York navy yard is greater than
that from the Mare Island navy yard.
California, and the navy department
may decide to build both at the latter
yard. However, as the estimates
were not based on sufficiently devel-
oped designs. it is expected that the
supplemental bids will result in de-
cision to build one o: the vessels at
New York and the other at Mare Isl.
and. The vessels will be tank ships,
in view OF the increasing use of oil
fuel in ships Of war. s.., :

AN INTERESTING FLAG.

The flag which led indirectly but
none the less certainly to the capture
Of John Wilkes Booth is now one of
the main objects OF interest In the
treasury building. For many years
this famous flag occupied place on
the wall of the northwest corridor of
the treasury and divided honors with
the money vaults as an object OF popu-
lar interest 1t was for many years
about the first thing guides pointed
out to visitors. Then the flag was
loaned to Capt. o. H. Oldroyd and for
a long time had prominent place in
the museum Of Lincoln relics, Not
long ago 1t was reclaimed by the
treasury and hangs once more In that
grim and classic building.
1t was in the knotted fringe Of this
old flag that one of Booths spurs
caught when he leaped from Lincoln's
box at Ford's theater on the night Of
April IA. 1865, after having MORALLY
wounded the president and stabbed
Mai Rathbone. Had not the spur
caught, Booths leg would in all prob
ability not have been fractured or in
jured and his capture would perhaps
have been very much more difficult.
