CHAPTER xxI.-contlnu,d.

Nothing Of personal nature had
been allowed to help contribute to this
success. No mention had been made
In the News Of the assault on its edi.
tor tn Mike Noonan's lodging house,
because to Wright 1t had appeared "a
q personal matter. The day previous
Gloria had denounced him and cried
aloud for vengeance. He recognized
that had Gloria not been mixed up in
the affair the result might have been
the same, but the personal element
was what made him hold his peace.
The news that the day had been car
r1ed for good government was only a
temporary intoxicant. There were q
eew moments Of exhilaration when his
real feelings were submerged In the
general rejoicing that David Kerr had
been given a more severe setback
than he had ever before received.
Then came the ebb Of the tide, leav-
ing him on the desolate shore Of dis
Asartening uncertainty. The past was
Z nightmare and the future blank.
The tumult and the cheers had died
away, the brass bands at last were
stflled, his eitting-room with two win
BOWS on the street and its own private
entrance had been cleared Of tobacco
smoke, and the reception he had held
when 1t was learned the election had
gone his way was at an end, when
Joe Wright sat himself down alone in
the quiet of the first hours OF the
morning to take stock of his future.
Gloria? What of her7
It was always Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
running through his mind. knocking at
the door of his heart.
Always of the Gloria who had
spurned him, he thought. for he knew
aothing of the part she had played in
the lodging house. It was not stu
alton to contemplate with equanimity
this living in the same town with
the woman he loved madly. Were Bel
mont of some size. city like st. Louis
Or Pittsburgh, there would be the prob
ability that their paths would seldom
eross. Yet In Belmont everyone knew
everyone else and never a week passed
but what they all met at least in pass
ing.
1t would be impossible for him to
avoid Gloria altogether. He was frank
enough to acknowledge to himself that
he would undoubtedly seek those
places where there would be some Ger
tainty Of his meeting her. To b. IN
he same town with her meant that he
could not give her up. Yet he knew
that any overtures he might make
would be worse than useless. He felt
that her prejudice was such that there
sould never be established that bond
without which matrimony is unholy.
The ruf1ed pool may again be calm.
the misted mirror may again be clear,
yet he believed in her ignorance she

The harder he tried to fight against
hts conviction of what he should do,
The more Wright was convinced that
there was but one course for him to
pursue: It would be best for him to
leave Belmont. This would be not for
4 week or month, but for all time.
It would be necessary for him to dis

| NAME OF STREET CHANGED
Sixteenth Street, N. w., Is Now Desiy-
mated as "Avenue of the
Presidents"

At the last session of congress the
name of Sixteenth street, N. W., was
changed to Avenue of the Presi-
DENTS" which is SO long a name as to
make general use impossible. Without
doubt, the name of Sixteenth street
will continue to be applied to this thor
oughfare, because the people of Wash
ington can hardly think of it other
wise. Many have questioned the ad-
vantage of the change, and the signifi-
canoe of the new name. No president
has ever lived upon this street, and in
fact it does not begin until nearly two
blocks north of the White House.
Standing in it's main entrance, how
ever, one may look to the north for a
great distance, up this broad street.
While the name. Avenue of the Presi-
dents" may induce ambassadors and
other dignitaries to locate upon it, yet
the change upsets seriously the plan
by which the city streets and avenues
were designated. The word avenue"
in Washington carries with it the
meaning that thoroughfare so desig-
mated runs at an angle, intersecting
the lettered streets running east and
west and the numbered streets run
ming north and south, and making pos
sible direct route from one section
of the city to another. AS Sixteenth
street runs due north and south, the
change in name from street to avenue
is misleading.
1t is to be regretted that street NOM
enclature in Washington and other
cities is SO easily changed, when the
names which streets have borne have
become known the world over-Na-
tional Magazine.

Eamoua American Soldier.

One hundred years ago March 10
Winfield Scott was promoted to the
rank of brigadier general in the Amer
lean army General Scott had longer
active career than any other cele-
brated American commander. At the
beginning of the war of 1912 he was
a lieutenant colonel of artillery. He
commanded in the only two American
victories of note that were fought
on Canadian soil during the war. He
took part in the Seminole war in Flor
ida and in 1S41 he was made general
in-chief in command of the American
army. On the declaration of war with
Mexico in 1916 he planned the cam
paign and accompanied the army to
Vera Cruz. From that point he fought
his way to Mexico City, the capture of
which ended the war. He remained in
command of the army until shortly
after the beginning of the Civil war
when he was succeeded by General
Mcclellan. General Scott's death oc-
Cured 1t West Point, N. Y, in 1866.

Ferry In the Air.

An interesting application of avia-
ton to the practical requirements of
everyday life is reported from Flor
ida This is an airboat ferry at
Tampa. Three hydroplanes have been
put in commission on a commercial
basis in a commuters ferry service
at Tampa bay-a % mile trip at a
mile minute.
Other services of the same sort sug-
gest themselves for other localities.
The two prime concerns for hydro
aeroplane ferry are population to
furnish the traffic and climate to In
sure that the water shall remain wa
ter What has been done on Tampa
bay could be done as easily and prof
itably on Delaware and Chesapeake
bays, or in the vicinity of Los Angeles
and Santa Catalina. Unfortunately a
millionaire limited to Lake Forest or
a honeymoon express to st. Joe has
to figure, through a good part of the
year, on ice.

HAVE QUEER MAN|AS
Burglars Sometimes Seem to
Steal for Pure Fun.
Nj Sorts of Articles Taken Which IL
Would Seem Could Be of Very
Little Use to the Daring
Maurauders.

The tendency nowadays in all trades
and industries is toward specializa-
ton and London criminals have fol-
owed the example of honest men.
There is a burglar-still at large,
by the way-who takes nothing but
old silver. He has ransacked over
thirty houses in the aristocratic sec
tion of London.
One of the houses was that of the
Spanish ambassador. Here piles OF
silver were found collected on ia
BILE, yet the only thing that was miss
ing was silver vase of great age
and worth many times it's weight as
precious metal The man must have
a very considerable knowledge of old
silver and its marks.
Recently a man was sentenced for
stealing bicycles. So many were
found on his premises that large
furniture van was required to bring
them to the court. This thief seems
to have been a very clever mechanic,
for handle-bars, municipalities and ped
ais were altered all around, making
Identification a very difficult matter.
IL,
bicycles.
India rubber mats were the espe-
cial prey of man who was sentenced
to a years Imprisonment at the Lon
don guildhall. Twice before the man
had been convicted of a similar Of
fense, yet the moment he was out OF
prison he went back to the same form
of crime. Some of the mats weighed
half hundred pounds and were worth
$25 apiece.
Cemetery thieves form class apart.
Their prey is the artificial wreaths
placed by sorrowing relatives on the
graves of their loved ones. From
Woodgrange Park cemetery 60 were
taken in one night, and 1.200 in little
over year. The City of London GEM
etery lost a similar number within
seven months.
Some of these wreaths, including
their cases, cost as much as $25 each.
The question is how the thieves dis
pose of their plunder.
Every secondhand book shop knows
the book thief. The man who steals
books rarely interferes with any other
form of property. Only year ago
one of these gentry was sentenced at
Peterborough to three years penal
servitude for stealing old books to
the value of $500. the property of the
dean and chapter of Peterborough ca
thedral.
At Kew and other botanical gardens
watch is always kept for the plan'
thief One caught at Kew in May
1912, had two small tins of watel
fastened under his waistcoat for the
purpose of keeping his stolen cuttings
alive.

Wyoming avenue a few squares
west of Connecticut avenue runs into
Twenty-third street, and if you would
follow the course of the first-named
way you will make an acute turn to
the north at Twenty-third street for

Wyoming avenue leads over high
ground westward to the crest above
Rock creek. This part of Wyoming
avenue has only recently been cut
through.
Opposite the point where Wyoming
avenue strikes Twenty-third street is
a fine new house which faces on the
new-made and unimproved part OF
the avenue, but the east side OF
which, with terrace garden before IT,
is on Twenty-third street 1t Is
broad, handsome and ambitious house
of yellow brick and graywhite stone,
and has a steep roof covered with
dark red tile. The lawn along the
east face, which is about three feet
above the grade of Twenty-thfrd
street, has been planted with young
trees.

this house there is recessed portlco
with a semi-circular stone balustrade
before it, with a facade of columns
and pilasters. Two pairs of columns,
the pairs set close together, flank the
outer line of the recess. and above
these columns the entablature is bro
ken that a rounded arch may project
upward from the cornice of the first
story half way to the caves of the
red roof.
At the top of this arch is the mas
sive stone head of man. 1t is the
keystone of the arch. The head Is
helmeted and the face is carved with
heavy mustache and beard. 1t Is a
carving which no doubt illustrates the
sculptor's or the stonecutter's concep-
ton of a stalwart classic warrior.

TENNIS COURTS ARE POPULAR
Groups of Whlte-Flanneled Players
Can Be Seen There in Pleas
ant Weather.

The public tennis courts of Wash
ington are seldom without players in
pleasant weather. During last sum-
mer and autumn the number of these
courts was increased, and others will
be added.
Perhaps in crossing the Connecticut
avenue bridge or the Calvert street
bridge the visitor has seen far below
in the valley of Rock creek two ten
mis- courts and active groups of white
f1ahneled players. Perhaps they have
thought that some exclusive tennis
club has built these courts in that ro-
mantle situation, place difficult of
access until one knows the way The
courts are on the west side of the
creek. close under the steep hillside
Pine trees grow along the east side of
the courts. while along the west edge
a muddy road winds, little used. but
now and then travelled by riders or
walkers in search of sequestered and
picturesque places.
The courts are between the bridges.
From that location the height of those
familiar structures is impressive and
one cannot help remarking the mas
siveness of the piers and arches of the
Connecticut avenue bridge and the
slender, weblike ironwork of the Cal
vert street bridge. There is a gentle
song from the flowing creek and if
there is any wind it sings in those
pine trees.

ABOLISH ANCIENT PROCEDURE
Gruesome Custom of Filing on Pro-
spective Vacant Senate Seats
ls Abandoned.

The United States senate from time
1mmemorial has had gruesome sort
of a procedure in securing advanta-
reous seats. OF course, the United
states senate is a continuing body;
only a portion of its members go out
every year, so that the older members
retain their seats, and only limited
number are ever vacated at any one
term. The custom referred to is that
of filing on a senate seat which 1t is
thought will be vacated in either the
near or distant future. Seats that are
filed on in this manner are usually
aisle seats and those close in front of
the presiding officer. In the past when
a senator liked the seat Of some other
senator better than his own he would
go to the sergeant-at-arms OF the SEN
ate and file a claim to that seat, should
it's holder die, resign or fail of re-elec-
ton to the senate. 1t really was a
horrid sort of custom, and claims have
been filed on certain senator's seats
for years at a time. being a sort of
gamble with fate.
The rules committee of the senate
has now passed resolution directing
the sergeant-at-arms of the senate to
cancel all filings and instructing him
that hereafter all such are prohibited.
Another resolution adopted by the
rules committee will limit those sena-
tors who are not chairmen of commit
tees to three office rooms in the Sen
ate office building or in the Capitol
building. 1t is said that at the pres
ent time some of the senators have
four or five office rooms.
