"Too bad!" uttered Pierce Maclay
and stood regarding an untoward mis-
hap in dismay.
A hind wheel had come off the light
wagon he had been driving. The whole
body of the vehicle seemed Jared out
of place and as the box landed in a
rut he saw that he was not enough of
a mechanic to adjust the difficulty.
"Pretty nearly the wilderness" he
soliloquized, "and something better
than thirty miles to Maiden. Back the
route to Warrentown it's an equal
thirty. What am to do?"
Maclay removed the horse, tethered
him and set at work to remedy affairs.
In a very few moments, after a close
inspection of the vehicle, he declared
definitely:
81 give it up. No tools, no black
smith within reach, I'll have to aban-
don the wagon and do the rest of the
journey on horseback"
He stood ruefully summing up the
situation, his hands thrust deep in his
coat pockets, when he started at the
sound of an unexpected voice, clear as
a bell, musical and friendly. 1t re-
vived his dropping spirits magically
quick.
I'm trouble strangerT
Over the soft grassy trail a great
covered wagon had come nOislessly up
on him. Occupying it's front seat, clad
in sensible khaki costume, was a
young girl with rosebud face, bright
eyes clear as crystal and fearlessness
and human interest in her entire man
ner as she halted great staunch span
of horses.
81 declared" involuntarily exclaimed
Maclay-"this is a pleasant surprise /
was getting gruesome in my forlorn po-
sition and you can probably tell me ex-
actly where | am marooned."
The girl sprang down nimbly from
the wagon seat. She advanced to the
wreck and viewed it with practical
searching eye. Her hand was small
but sinewy. She pulled aside the
dropped axle with a strength and celer-

TO COAL WORLDS NAvIES
Good Reasons Why Every Power

three routes to the Gulf-through the

between Guantanamo and Haiti. and
the passages either side of Porto

the wrenched hub of the wheel crit
ically.
If you care to carry the tools from
our wagon" she observed, II think |
can soon mend things somewhat"
Maclay stared, marveled but fol-
lowed her with polite bow. She went
around to the end of the big wagon
she had driven and opened a door. Ma
clay was further bewildered. The
capacious space within was fitted up
like room. 1t had hunks at the side,
folding table, stools hinged to its
side, an oil stove and a wardrobe. His
fair companion opened a heavy box.
She took from it a portable Jack, sew
eral other tools and some pieces of
metal. She handed them to Maclay.
Then, armed with a hammer. she led
the way back to his broken vehicle.
Now, then" she remarked In n
brisk businesslike way, you try and
lift the end of the wagon box while 1
set the screw under it."
She had rolled up the sleeves of the
jacket she wore. She pushed back
fugitive golden ringlets under the
close cap she wore. The air rang with
the true rapid strokes which she de-
llVered upon the bent axle. She re-
placed the cracked hub iron with a
new one. She frightened up dislocated
odds and ends. She worked like n
beaver-and also as an expert.

A ringing laugh greeted the fanciful
words. The bright eyes half mischiev-
ously' half triumphantly glowing youth
and beauty and comaraderle into his
own, made Pierce Maclay glad for the
breakdown.

ANOTHER OFFER RUMORED
FOR SECRETARY McADOO

1t is known that the Secretary of the
Treasury, William G. McAdoo, some
time ago received most f1attering of
fer to take position with one of the
big financial institutions of the country.
The salary consideration was said to
have been exceedingly large 1t is be-
lieved Secretary McAdoo has received
more than one such offer, and that he
will soon be the recipient of another.
The federal reserve act provides that
the Secretary of the Treasury. the as
sistant secretaries and the controller of
the currency shall not accept employ
ment with any financial institution that
is a member of the federal reserve sys-
tenn within two years after severing
their connection with federal service.
This would mean that Secretary Nc
Adoo would not be eligible to accept
any position with national bank or
with any of the trust companies or
state banks that have joined the sys-
tenn.
There are few of the latter. Nearly
the entire federal reserve system is
made up of national banks. sThe law
accepting a berth with any big trust
company that is not a member of the
system, and most of the big trust com
panies of the country have rems ined
aloof 1t Is believed that the offers
made to Mr.. McAdoo are from such
sources, and his acceptance would not
be prohibited by law.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION
HEARINGS ARE BEGUN
Lack of Men and Needs of Gun Fac
tory Are Among Items Devel-
oped at SESSION.

So great a lack of men inf the navy
that target practice will have to be lin
tied to first-line ships; a heavy increase
in the departmental estimates; rush of
work for Indian Head, and $2,420,73S
estimated as the needs of the naval gun
factory of the Washington navy yard,
were three important points brought out
at the first hearing on the 1918 naval
appropriation bill, held before the
House committee on naval affairs today.
Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss, chief of
the bureau Of ordnance of the Navy
Department, was the only naval officer
to appear today
Chairman Padgett announced that the
Navy Department estimates called for
the construction Of three battleships and
one battle cruiser
In speaking of the departments plans
for ammunition for target practice, Ad-
miral Strauss indicated that there
would not be any practice on the bat
tleships of the pre- -dreadnaught class
unless present plans are changed. Il
was brought out that target practice
will be concentrated on the newest of
the big ships. After considerable dis
cussiou of this fact, which seemed to
interest the members of the committee,
Representative Roberts Of Massachu-
sets. said:
Does not this sum up the whole stua-
ton: That unless We get enough men for
the navy we cannot have target practice

firnnatiVe.
