bottle of whisky from a Kentucky dis
tillery that he had not ordered.
The odd thing about the gift was
that the liquor was in bottle that Mr..
Coates emptied with party of friends
while steaming down the river Nile, In
Africa, about year ago and threw
into the murky stream.
In the bottle he had placed slip of
paper bearing his name and address.

was filed and sent to Mr., Coates with
the liquor factory's compliments. The
original bottle was presented to Mr..
Coates by local friend when he start
ed on his African trip.

His first day in New York left him
with nothing more than a feeling Of
foreboding and oppression. The .ex-

city Of his birth did not materialze.
So used to open spaces was he, to dis
tances and the circle of horizons, that
he knew he no longer belonged to the
city with its Himalayan gorges and
canyons, whose torrents were human
beings and whose glaciers we're the

bore down on him. For months he
had been drawing familiar pictures,
ard to find none Of these was like com
ing home to an empty house. The old
life was indeed gone; there were no
threads to resume. A hotel stood
where his club had been; TIE house in
which he had spent his youth was no
more. He wanted to leave the city;
and the desire was with difficulty over
come.
Early the second morning he started
downtown to the offices of the Andes
Construction company. He was ex-
traordinarily nervous. Cold sweat CON
tinually moislened his palms. Change,

DEAR OLD BEN"

His intimate friends refer to him
affectionately as Dear Old Ben" His
superiors describe him with the single
word loyal" His subordinates call
him ''human." And, in brief, coupled
with his record for steady advance
ment and absolute dependability,
which has made him the prototype
in the navy of what Brig. Gen. Hugh
Scott, chief of staff, stands for in the
army, these characteristics give per-
haps as good an idea as can be OBJ
tanned Of the kind Of man Rear Ad-
miral William Shepherd Benson, chief
of naval operations, really is.
But be not mlsled by the nick
name, or by the fact that he was
graduated in II, and is nearing his
sixtieth birthday, into picturing him
as crotchety and bewhiskered old

I The TWO Brothers.


From port to port, sometimes not
stepping OFF the boat at all, moody.
restless and irritable, Warrington
wended his way home. There was
nothing Surprising in the fact that
he never inquired for mail. Who was
there to write? Besides, he sought
only the obscure hotels, where he
was not likely to meet any of his erst-
while fellow passengers. The mock
cry and uselessness of his home-going
became more and more apparent as
the days Slipped by. Often he ionged
to fly back to the jungles, to James,
and leave matters as they were. Here
and there along the way. he had tried
q bit OF luxury; but the years of econ
omy and flugality had robbed him of
the ability TO enjoy it. He was going
home TO what? Surely there
would be 10 welcome for him at his
journeys end He would return after
