the rest aside. The one he picked out
was Clem's.
With her own peculiar wisdom Glen

but about Red Hill. Alan read and
then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell clenched at his sides. His

love, leads man up. Alan was feel
ing cleansed-like a little child-so 1t
seemed a quite natural thing that the
girl who had taken charge of him on
his arrival on board should knock at
his door and then walk in. She drew
out camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young,
not in years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her
nearsighted eyes peered out through
big glasses. They seemed to see only
when they made n special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.

At Pernambuco Alan found an ac-
emulation of mail awaiting him and
liner bound for home. The liner was
too big to get into the little harbor be-
hind the reef. She rode the swell a
mile out from shore.
Alan lost no time in making his
transfer. From the tender he was
winched up to the deck in a passenger
basket. As he left the wicker coop
he smiled at himself in disgust. Ten

Officials of the company here ex-

staff officers do not fear the result.
They estimate General Pershing's
force at 5000 men. They believe he
has made secure his communication
with the border by which the twenty
four guns Of the Sixth artillery could
be rushed to him on hurry call.
The possibility of invasion was en-
phasized today by the action of the
comptroller Of the currency directing
the removal of the gold reserve from
at least one bank in Texas.
Increase Navy Also.
The first war council, held at the
White House, resulted in asking con-
gress to add 10000 sailors to the navy
at once and to increase this number
to 33, 900 in case of emergency.
In the conference were the presi-
dent, Secretary of the Navy Daniels
Senator Tillman, chairman, and Sena-
tor Swanson, member of the senate
naval committee.
The proposed increase means that
the United States will be able to put
in full commission all the big ships
now being constructed and the battle
ships in reserve and out of commission
/ on both coasts of this country. In ad-
| ditiOn, there will be sailors enough fol
the large number of under manned
/ small craft now being sent to all the
| seaports of Mexico.
Commanders of the naval militia
who are soon to go on a cruise on war
ships have conferred with Secretary
Daniels. The object of this conference
was not disclosed.
The navy department now has en-
| listed 81, 900 men,. The conference de
cided to ask for an increase to 74,70O
with an additional authorization tt
bring the strength to $1,000 men il
an emergency.
With Full Crews.
Under this provision, it is probabl,
that the following first class ship
will soon be afloat with full crews:
The Alabama, Chester, Chicago
Connecticut, Georgia. Illinois, Kear
sarge, Louisiana, Maine, New Jersey
North Dakota Rhode Island, Virgin;
and Washington. All these ships ar
on the east coast
On the west coast there are in tn

The P1ttsburg, Colorado, Maryland
New Orleans. Oregon. Saratoga, Soutl
Dakota, st. Louis and West Virginia
