justed his glasses, and resumed his stare.
 Either" he observed, you're Hugh Whitaker come to life or a deuced out rage"
 "Both if you like."
 You sound like both" complained the little man. Anyway, you were drowned in the Philippines or some where long ago, and I never waste tune on dead one. Drummond -" He turned to the lawyer with a vastly business-like air
 No, you don'tw Whitaker insisted, putting himself between the two men. T admit that you're a great man i; you might at least admit that I'm live one"
 A modified smile moderated the small mans manner. That's a bar gain," he said, extending a pale yell low paw; 'I'm glad to see you again, Hugh. When did you recrudesce?"
 "An hour ago." Drummond answered for him; ''blew in here as large as life and twice as important. He's been running gold farm out in New Guinea. What do you know about that?n
 "It's very interesting" Max con- ceded. You've asked him, of course ?" he demanded of Drummond, holding toward Whitaker.
 Drummond flushed slightly. "No chance" he said. q was on the point of doing it when you butted in."
 "What's this?" inquired Whitaker.
 Max delivered himself of a startling bit of information: He's going to get married"
 Whitaker stared. "Drummond? Not really?"
 Drummond acknowledged his guilt brazenly: "Next week, in fact"
 But why didn't you say anything about it?"
 You didn't give me an opening. Be sides, to welcome a deserter from the great beyond is enough to drive all other thoughts from a mans mind."
 There's to be supper in honor of the circumstances, at the Beaux Arts tonight" supplemented Max. You'll come, of course"
 .'I'll be there-and furthermore, I'll be waiting at the church week hence or whenever it's to come off. And now I want to congratulate you" Whit aker held Drummond's hand in one of those long, hard grips that mean much between men. "But mostly I want to congratulate her. Who is she?"
 Sara Law" said Drummond, with pride in his quick color and the lift of his chin.
 "The greatest living actress on the English-speaking stage" Max an nounced, preening himself importantly. My own discovery"
 .Of course I've heard-but I have been out of touch with such things" Whitaker apologized. "When shall l see herY
 ..In honor of her retirement" Max answered, fussing with gardenia on his lapel. "She retires from the stage finally, and forever-she says-when the curtain falls tonight"
 "Then I've got to be in the theater tonight-if that's the case," said Whit aker.
 "'Fraid you won't get in, though" Drummond doubted darkly. Every thing in the house for this final week was sold out a month ago. Even the speculators are cleaned out"
 ''Tut!' the manager reproved him loftily. "Hugh is going to see Sara Law act for the last time from my personal box-aren't you, HughY'
 You bet amp Whitaker asserted with conviction.
 ..Then come along" Max caught him by the arm and started for the door. "So long, Drummond ."

the Navy Department.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Experi-
mental long range firing by the,At-
,lantic feet and information about
naval battles in the European war
virtually have convinced the navy
department that battleships to be
authorized this year, should carry
ten 16-inch. guns each instead OF
twelve 1f+incn weapons aboard
ships Of the Pennsylvania and Cali

Details,of gunnery are confidential
but 1t became known tonight that the
next target practice of the fleet will
be held at ranges upto $4,000 yards
because Of the lesson taught by the
battle between German and British
battle cruisers In the North sea,
where 1900 yards shots scored
hits. s-A y f5"4ss4
The navy general board recon-
mended sometime ago that new bat
