Howell for that. He was going
to kill him because he had after

never suspected a rival in the

And Isabel, her foolish little head
turned by the opportunity of

ried him. That was eight years
ago. Nobody had wasted any
sympathy upon Alvin.
He had pieced events together
with difficulty since that day. His
father, the faithful old cashier
with the Glass company, had, he
knew, forbidden his name to be
mentioned again. His mother
was evidently dead. Nobody came
near him; nobody had written to
him. He was a pariah. Even
now, for one helping hand he
would have turned aside from his
project; but none was extended.
He changed trains at Lowell and, |
during the interval, purchased a

No Place for Navy
To Store It's Plate
Department Faces Problem in Dis
posing of Gifts of Silver to
Ships of Fleet.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-What
shall be done with the silver services
now owned by various vessels?
This problem is confronting the
Navy Department. The value of sill
yer services presented by citizens of
States or cities to vessels which bear
their names amounts to nearly $780,,
600. When vessels have either been
stricken from the list or have had
rheir names changed their services
are taken over by the Navy Depart
ment and stored for future use.
The silver service of the cruiser
New York will be given to the battle
ship Of that name now building. The
Secretary Of the Navy hopes that any
difficulties regarding the service on
the old cruiser Pennsylvania may be
met i'm the same manner. The Del
aware carries the finest service of any
i'm the navy. The old Maine was one
of the first to receive a service. This
service has been recovered from the
bottom of Havana harbOr and has
been polished up to look like new.
