On Board the U $. s. Kentucky, in Tangier sound, Md, Aug. 24-New 8. s. Kentucky for the first time in their career had an opportunity Fri day of handling real ammunition for the bigger caliber guns. With the red flag displayed at the signal yard arm, and the cries of the masters at arms that '.smoklng-lights were out. the magazines of the big ship began to give forth the big boxes of a. yard or more in length and the blue Jackets from Connecticut and other states got a taste of what real fighting might mean for them. They acted well under the new strain to which they were put
 Though the restrictions of the United States navy are such that real quanti- ties of powder, weight of projecti1es, size of targets, range distances and other like information which would impair coast defense. cannot be made public, it may be said that fer the first time since their Identification with the United States navy, militia
 men fom New England are handling under direct control of their own gun crews ammunition which carries mug second, weigh nearly 100 pounds and can reach battle targets located more than two miles from the ship.
 The work of the various New Eng land organizations is said on board the Kentucky to be highly credita ble to the training given by their officers, and the work of the regularly enlisted navy officers is such as to put the fin ishing touches to the perfection which the government is trying to obtain by this cooperative cruise system and the placing of large batf1eships at the disposal of the naval militia.

 The culinary department which has greatly pleased the naval militia throughout the cruise deserves more than passing mention as in small and compact space it is able to feet nearly 300 men three times a dayaand to put out a varied bfl1-of-fare that has pro-

 steam kettles in which to cook them

 breaks the ships law for he may
 stay anywhere from three days in the brig or lose shore leave for a

 a pleasure and painful reminder to those who frequent the sea. This
 cubby-hoIe is the receptacle of any

 officers who make it their business to
 keep watch it is placed in the lucky
 bag and at the end of the month auc-

one lump as a limit. Esther did
not answer but her father could see
by the reproachful look in her eyes
and the droop of her graceful gypsy

therefore, in the nature Of balm for
her wounded feelings that Mr.. Git

Esther dropped her book where

"Well, if that isn't just like a

before?" She disappeared into the
bedroom for hasty toilette.
1t was the custom in the Gittel-
son family to precede the supper
with tea and to end in the same
manner. Since the head of the fam
lily was a widower with an only
daughter he found it easy to make
any arrangements he wanted. He
chose to take a nap between the
tea-drinking at six and the supper
at eight. During that interval Es-
Their generally prepared the last meal
of the day. This particular day,
however, there was a certain alb
straction about her manner, certain
stealthy chances in the mirror at the
most inopportune times in the midst
of stirring the soup, for instance,
and certain rosy bushes wasted on
lot of peeled potatoes. Three
sharply repeated raps on the door
startled her. Morris burst in.
"Great news, Esther" he gasped
out.
She looked at the young mans
fluShed face with It's curly ha1r, care
lessly disarranged, falling hap-haz-
ard over large, perspiring fore
head. The principle of opposites
might have had something to do
with their preference for each
others company. He was blue
eyed, rosy-cheeked, inclined to be
stout; she was dark-eyed and dark
complexioned, tense, apparently
frail, but 1.-the and energetic.

ventured.

beamed.
