Oct. 10, 1S45, all hands assembled in
one of the recitation rooms. and the
superintendent, after a brief pointed
address, in which he announced he
should exact rigid compliance with
all laws, orders and regulations, de-
clared the schools open. The old
buildings at the army post at Anna
polls, where the midshipmen began
to receive instruction, had been
termed by Secretary Bancroft ''a
modest shelter for the pupils" and
it is said that they certainly deserved
no more complimentary description.
Mr.. Bancroft at once began plans
to have the academy more COM
modiously housed, and he asked con-
gress for an appropriation of $685.
600 to be expended for repairs, i'm
provements and instructions at Fort
Severn, Annapolis. The secretary
brought all his diplomacy and skill
to bear, and at last had the profound
satisfaction of receiving the appro-
priation by an ample majority and
of seeing the naval school of the
United States then become duly or
ganized by law.
Thus ended the long fight for it,
Three days after the bill became a
law Secretary Bancroft directed the
superintendent to enlarge the build
ings and construct new ones suffi-
cient to accommodate 100 shipmen
This small beginning was the founoa-
ton of the present large and effec-
tive institution, which trains the
sailors in a way equal to that fur
nished by any other country in the
world.-Philadelphia Press.

OUR NAVAL SCHOOLS

| We had a military academy almost
| half century before we had naval
academy. 1t was not until the admin
istration of President James K. Polk
that the government thought it nee
essary to establish a naval academy
at which young men could be educa-
ted for that part of their protective
service.
George Bancroft was the founder
of the United States naval Academy
school. 1t was formally opened at
Annapolis or. October 10, 1s45. For
several years prior to this effort
there was school working along
similar lines at the Naval asylum in
Philadelphia, where the midshipmen
prepared themselves for examination
and promotion.
The school was recognized in 1850
and the course was increased from
five to seven, the first and last two
years to be passed at the school, the
intervening years at sea. At this
time the separate departments of
instruction were established, a vessel
was provided and annual practice
cruises were instituted. In 1851 the
requirements of sea service were
abolished, leaving the course four
consecutive years of study.
At the outbreak of the war in
1861 the Naval Academy was re-
moved to Newport, Z. l., where it
remained until the summer of 1865,
when it was established at Annapo-
lis. In 1870 the title of cadet mid
shipman, was substituted for mid
shipman, AID three years later the
course was increased by the addition
of two years sea service in cruising
vessels, at the expiration of which
the cadet midshipman returned to the
Naval Academy for examination in
professional subjects prior to grad
uation.
Previous to the establishing of the
Naval Academy several attempts had
been made to establish training
schools for officers and sailors of the
navy. In 1888 Captain NJ. c. Perry
suggested a school for engineers,
but little was accomplished before
Bancroft called the meeting in Phila-
delphia which decided the establish
ing of the present school
At first there was considerable of
a wrangle as to- where the school
should be located. The site finally
chosen was an old army post known
as Fort Severn, located on the point
Of land which forms the easternmost
extremity of the city of Annapolis
and lies between the harbor and the
Severn river. Poor as the place was
in the eyes Of Bancroft, he saw that
is was far less likely to challenge
congressional criticism than a more
pretentious habitation, and besides.
as the board Of naval officers had
said, the fact was undeniably true
that it might 'be enlarged and per-
fected at some future time"
Fort Severn was duly transferred
by the war department to the navy
on August Is, 1845, and fortnight
afterward Secretary Bancroft pub
lished his "plan" subsequently pre-
pared by Commander Buchanan,
governing the workings of the school
until 1850. The first superintendent
of the Naval Academy was COM
mander Franklin Buchanan.

CHAPTER I.

So 1t was In him, then-an inherited
lighting instinct, driving intensity to
kill. He was the last of the Duanes,
that old fighting stock of Texas. But
not the memory of his dead father, nor
the pleading of his soft-voiced mother,
nor the warning of this uncle who
stood before him now, had brought to
Buckley Duane so much realization
of the dark, passionate strain in his
blood. 1t was the recurrence, a hun
dredfold increased in power, Of a
strange emotion that for the last three
years had arisen in him.
Eyes, Cal Bain's in town, full of
bad whisky an huntin' for you," re-
peated the elder man, gravely.
''But what's he want me for" de-
manded Duane. ITO insult me again
I won't stand that twice."
Hes got fever that's rampant in
Texas these days, my boy. He wants
zun-play. II he meets you he'll try
to kill you"
Here 1t stirred In Duane again. that
bursting gush of blood, like a wind of
fame shaking all his inner being, and
subsiding to leave him strangely
chilled.
xiii mel What for?" he asked.
Lord knows there amt any reason.
But what's that to do with most Of the

Suddenly Duane sat down and COW

Duane, With blurred sight and con-
tracing throat, gripped his uncle's
hand and babe him a wordless fare
well. Then he leaped astride the black
and rode out of town.
As swiftly as was consistent with a
care for his steed, Duane put q dis
lance of fifteen or eighteen miles
behind him. He passed several
ranches, and was seen by men. This
did not suit him, and he took an old
trail across country. It was a fiat
region with poor growth Of mesquite
and prickly-pearl cactus. Occasionally
he caught glimpse of low hills in the
distance. He had hunted often in that
section, and knew where to find grass
and water. When he reached this
higher ground he did not, however,
halt at the first favorable camping
spot, but went on and on.
At last he found secluded spot, I'M
der cover of thick mosquitoes and oaks,
at goodly distance from the old trail.
He took saddle and pack off the horse,
made small fire, prepared and ate his
supper. This done, ending the work
Of that day, he sat down and filled his
pipe. When night set In and the
place seemed all the more isolated and
lonely for that Duane had sense of
relief.
It dawned upon him all at once that
he was nervous, watchful, sleepless.
The fact caused him surprise, and he
began to think back, to take note of
his late actions and their motives. The
change one day had wrought amazed
him. He who had always been free,
easy, happy, especially when out alone
In the open, had become In a few short
hours bound, serious, preoccupied. He
felt tired, yet had no INCLINATION to
rest. He intended to be or by dawn,
heading toward the southwest. Had
he a destination It was vague as his
knowledge Of that great waste of
mesquite and rock bordering the Rio
Grande. Somewhere out there was a
refuge. For he was fugitive from
justice, an outlaw. f'~
This being an outlaw then meant
eternal vigilance. No home. no rest,
no sleep. no content, no life worth the

When Duane came to the gate Of
his home and saw his uncle there with
a mettlesome horse, saddled, with can

subtle shock pervaded his spirit. It

Of his act. But sight Of the horse ana

that he must now become fugitive.

he found speech difficult. But his
companion did not seem to mind that.
He was jocose. voluble fellow, prob
