Harlan smiled gravely. Father wrote
me of it."
Wiley glanced up at him. Your
father isn't for me, Harlan. And he's n
pretty big man. But-eastern. We're
rattling on pretty strong for 'em out
here! Direct elections for senator's,
the initiative, the recall Of judges-the
control of wealth by the state-the
new democracy, boy. But you know all
Of it. The old dreams we used to ar
que in the News shop! Why we-the
old News and I've sort of raised you,
Harlan. We made you as much as
HarvardI"
Harlan smiled. Wiley's eyes were
shining They had a great brother
love, a faith, pride.
Whats got into you, Wiley? You're
changed-you're awakened! Your cam
paign-the big fight ahead? Was that
it?"
Il shouldn't wonder! Everything
seems changed. Even the old town
God bless it. it's come to seem green and
fair and livable! Yes, awakened,

Harlan muttered.
You knew"
Yes. l read of it-I sort Of followed
her-in the reviews" Harlan was gath
ering up the lines. "Wiley.-I-wish 1
had saved her!"
Wiley's hand closed over Harlan's on
the dashboard. Boy" he murmured,
II didn't mean to bring this old matter
up" Then his face lit with sudden
exaltation as if he had put a great
hope to the test. Tell me-you do
love that girl. Harlan!"
II did love her once" retorted Har-
Ian squarely. You might have guessed
why wanted her out of this. And you
got her into it,"
And now?" Wiley muttered. But
Harlan drove on suddenly and without
looking back. The older man watched
him with q feeling that the fine zest OF
spring had dulled in him. He seemed
trampling on some rugged loyalty to
the best thing in life-the faith of
friends. He sighed as he went back to
his shop. Got her into It? Bless her,

WILL SEEK sUNKEN TREASURE
English Company to Salvage Vessels
Lost in Battle Of Navarino.

En9hSn company 10 odiNdSS HoSo'S
Lost in Battle Of Navarino.
A company has just been incorpor-
ated in London called the Navarino
Bay Salvage company, to recover the
treasure in the Bay Of Navarino, on
the west coast of Greece, where SO
Turkish and Egyptian ships Of war
were sunk by the allied fleets Of Eng
land, France and Russia in 1927, says
London dispatch.
OF these sixty three, forty-three
have been located and buoyed, and as
the water Is very clear and not deeper
than fifty feet, 1t is expected that n
rich harvest will be reaped. Many Of
the ships are known to have gone
down with specie and jewels on board,
but aside from that the guns and other
things which can be recovered without
much trouble, have great value. The
treasurer of the Navarino Bay Salvage
company Is E. w. Gaze, who has re-
lated how the salvors will go to work
and what they expect to find.
"All the existing records that might
throw any light on the size and arma-
ment of the sunken ships have been
most carefully examined" he said,
land from the dispatches Of Admiral
Codrington himself, and from other
sources, we have been able to ascer-
tain definitely the size and nature of
practically every vessel that was sunk
In the engagement.
ut Is thus possible, for instance, to
estimate at the bottom Of the bay there
are at least 300, 900 tons Of oak timbers
which, by the action Of time and the
sea, have been turned to the color and
hardness Of ebony. At a moderate es-
innate this timber, which Is an ideal
material for making furniture. will be
worth about Sc per ton.
"All these old ships were sheathed
with almost pure copper, and 1t Is es-
timated that there must be at least
800 tons of the metal in the hulls of
the submerged ships.
Then there are the guns. Accord
ing to the records preserved at the
British admiralty, 2,016 guns went
down in the Turkish and Egyptian
ships. One thousand three hundred of
these guns were made Of bronze, which
is worth from $3.50 to $500 per ton,
and the average weight Of each gun
may safely be put at four TONS"
The salvage of these materials alone
should amply repay the venture, but
there is also more than a possibility
that the divers will find gold in specie
and other forms.
Certain notes, written just before
the engagement, and found among the
papers of the Egyptian admiral, refer
red to the money in the possession OF
the two commanders Of the fleet. Mu-
harem Bey, the Egyptian admiral, had
in his vessel $2,OOO,OO0, twenty large
bags of money and 10000 gold ducats
and the Turkish admiral, Ibranim Pa
sha, stated in note that his ship went
down with gold and jewels worth not
less than $4,SO0,00O. 1t is more than
likely that some Of the other ships car
| ry specie and other valuables. and a
| gold cup Of the shape used, in the
Greek church, has already been recov-
cred by a diver.

Spring comes about Rome by simple

lows gently free themselves from the
soiing snow, bend upward ever 50

furry gray. In the clay gaps of the
hills one hears the tinkle of water un-
der ice and over rock, answering the
first call of the robins. The rabbit
tracks along the fences drabble down
to mere muddy markings in the snow
and then are lost in the first faint
green. Also, in town, housewives hang
their rugs on the pOrches and beat
them, stopping to look up at the blue

Crowned Madmen.

The Russian grand duke whose &c
centric freaks are the gossip of the
courts of Europe, could point to many
a. predecessor Of his blood who has
been much less sane than himself
from that most savage Of monarchs," "
Ivan w, to the first Alexander, son
and grandson of throned madmen.
Ivan, the Terrible" among his
many insane freaks, would let loose
wild bears in the streets Of his capital,
and placidly say his prayers while
watching the slaughter Of his people,
"ninging n few coins to the mutilated
survivors as he rose from his knees"
He would compel parents to slay their
children, and children to kill one an
other; and If there was a survivor,
''the amiable monarch would dispatch
him with his own hands, shrieking
with laughter at so excellent a joke"
T.: one of his lighter moods Of frolic
he commanded the citizens of Moscow
to provide for him a measure full OF
fieas for a medicine" and fined them
1000 roubles when they failed.
The insanity of Peter III took less
savage, If more grotesque, forms. His
ruling mania was for the 'pomp and
circumstance of war;" and one day he
gave orders that hundred cannon
should be fired simultaneously so that
he might get some idea of the din OF
battle. On other occasions he would
rise from the table and, glass in hand,
PROSTATE himself before the portrait of
Frederick of Prussia, eXclaiming, MY
brother, we will conquer the universe
| together"
Peters son, the first Paul, was no
less insane than his father, although
his madness was longer in manifesting
itself. So violent was his hatred of
the revolutionary round hats, fashion
imported from France, that one day he
sent 200 police and dragons to scour
the streets of st. Petersburg and tear
them from the heads of all who wore
them-Philadelphia Ledger.
