| Sheer luck smiled on him to this

His fellow followed with less injury.
But Alan had no time to wonder
whether the man had tripped and
thrown himself In his effort to escape
a second hurting key, or had turned
coward and fed. 1t was enough that
he had returned, precipitately and
heavily, to the schooner.
The keg, meeting with no resistance,
pursued him even to the deck, where
the force of It's impact split its seams
None of the combatants, however,
Alan least of all, noticed that the pow

coarse.
In the same breath he heard a
friendly voice shout warning far up
the dock, and knew that Barcus was
coming to his aid.
A glance over-shoulder, too, discov-
cred the cause of the warming; two
men who had thus far escaped his
attentions were maneuvering to fall
upon him FROM behind. The bound
required to evade them brought him

worthy wish to demonstrate conclu

had tossed the pistol over the end Of

As a result of the lot auction sale in the Morrison and Bedding addition and on Laser boulevard in the yicin- itv of the new Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad yesterday there were forty lots disposed of at auction and some of them brought very nice prices. while others went at what many considered bargains.

 The auctioneers announced last night that because of the interest shown in the sale, the auction would be continued this afternoon and throughout the day, at which time probably one hundred more lots will fall into the possession of home owners.
 The auction was conducted in quite a spectacular manner. The auctioneer worked from carriage, and agents of the auctioneer worked about in the crowd hurrying bids, while a small brass band played after each lot sale, and while the carriage and the audience was being removed to the scene of the next lot.
 Flagmen followed the caravan throughout the plat of lots holding up large red flags to designate the exact location and frontage of each lot on which the public was bidding.

three quarters of an hour daily, the
remainder of the period being given to
technical and naval subjects. The
teachers will be the officers of the
ship, usually the ensigns recently from
Annapolis. They are now impressed
with the fact that next to their mill
tary duties their chief business on ship
will be the instruction of enlisted men.
A short normal course has been added
to the naval academy curriculum SO
that they may intclligently approach
their task. The compulsory character
of this instruction and the realization
by the men that they must study un-
til they attain proficiency in the com,
mon school branches and that the in
struction is ordered for the purpose
of increasing their efficiency-which
means increase of PAYS expected to
overcome any hostility to the new de-
parture, 1t should be remembered
that American warship crews are quite
young. The average age of the crew
of battleships in.sthe voyage around
the world was twenty-three years. SO
there are no barnacled preiudices to
overcome Academic instruction is de-
signed to train the men to think sys-
tematically.
Technical instruction might be
roughly divided into two classes; that
necessary to assure the efficiency of
the personnel of the ship as whole;
and that designed to encourage men to
seek promotion.
