The first foreign war in which the
United States was engaged began M
years ago, when Tripoll issued n dec.
laration Of war against the new-worId
republic. The ruler of the piraticoI
African state had learned that the
United States had paid larger sums n
Alglers than to himself, and demand.
ed greater annual tribute. This woo
refused and on June 10, 1901 he de-
clared war. An American souodrop
under Commodore Richard Dale was
dispatched to the Mediterranean and
was followed by squadrons command.
ed by Commodore Morris and Canine
dore Preble. The war continued rnti,
lSoo' and was characterized bv several
teats OF valoc performed by American
sailors. The hey of Tripoll and other
barbary rulers, who had long nraved
upon the commerce Of America ma
europe, were brought up with n short
turn. Prior to the Trlpolltan war Tho
United States and France fought sew

The saving Of this girl meant more
to him than any task he had ever as

As he looked down upon her,
slight, slender girl with bedraggled
dress and disheveled hair, her face,
pale and quiet, a little stern in sleep,
and her long, dark lashes lying on her
cheek, he seemed to see her fragility,
her prettiness, her femininity as never
before. But for him she might at
that very moment have been a broken,
ruined girl lying back in that cabin of
the BANDS. The fact gave him feel
Ing of his Importance in this shifting
of her destiny. She was unframed,
still young; she would forget and be
happy; she would live to be good
wife and mother. Somehow the
thought swelled his heart. His act,
death-dealing as it had been, was a
noble one, and helped him to hold on
to his drifting hopes. Hardly once
since Jennie had entered into his |

torment him.
Tomorrow she would be gone among

CHARGED WITH THREATENING
COUNTESS Won BERNSToRFF,
WIFE OF GERMAN AMBASSADOR.
seIf-StyTed international Spy and Mag.
azine Writer Who scasted of Be-
ing in Foreign Secret Service
Faces Grave Charges.

Washington. Karl Armgard Graves,
self-styled international spy and
magazine writer, was arrested here
Saturday by agents of the depart
ment of justice and charged with at.
tempting to extort $4,000 from Coun,
tess Won Bernstorff, wife Of the Ger
man ambassador, by threatening to
publish letters alleged to contain
matter showing her infrmities and
failings."
Officials of the embassy also allege
that Graves had in his possession what
apparently were confidential code dip.
lomatic dispatches from the German
government to Count Won Bernstorf.
The prisoner told the federal agents
he obtained all the documents from
persons who struggled them past the
British censors on the steamship Os'
car H. The warrant upon which he
was arraigned and held on $4,000 bail
for a further hearing, charges him
also with bringing into the District OF
Columbia letters stolen in Hoboken,
N. j., where the Oscar II docks.
In a statement after his arraign.
ment, at which he entered a plea OF
not guilty, Graves asserted that he
had no intention of Matchmaking the
countess, that he objected to the use
Of the word blackmail, and that the
papers he had in his possession were
purely diplomatic" in character.

BIRDS SPOILED GOOD SCHEME
Woman's ingenious Idea Failed Be-
cause She Was Unable to Take
Them Into Her Confidence.

She planted some young fruit trees
in her back yard last fall Among
them was Il cherry tree, just little
! thing that will consume several years
in It's valiant effort to acquire rea-
sonable standing In the community.
But It Is doing Its best, and already
IL is large enough to attract attention.
A man in the neighborhood has
watched the careersof that tree with
much interest, and he has not lost a
chance to jolly the woman about It.
At least 1000 times, thus far this sea-
son, he has asked her about the tree
and about the prospects for the crop
of cherries. The woman finally de-
cided ito put one over" on him. She
would show him that young cherry
tree could bear full crop of fruit the
first year.
She bought box OF nice, big red
ripe cherries, and tied about twenty
OF them on the tender little limbs of
the cherry tree with thread. When
she had completed the work the tree
doomed up bright and red as an an.
archist flag. Then she sent word TO
the man, who lived two doors away
to come over and see what the tree
had produced.
He was not at home at the time, but
he arrived soon afterward, and he
over to have look ut the |
tree. But it's branches were as bare
OF cherries as Mexican desert is OF
Ice water.
Birds had discovered the cherries
and they beat him to IT," They had
eaten every cherry. The woman does
