worked down, and had that long talk
ing time at the bottom Of the set, he
said boldly, little pale, she said, as
she told me the story, fears after:
"And what do you hear from home,
Mrs. Graff?'
And that splendid creature looked
through him. Jove how she must
have looked through himl "Home ! !
Mr.. Nolanll! thought you were the
man who never wanted to hear Of
home again !" and she walked directly
up the deck to her husband, and left
poor Nolan alone, as he always was.
He did not dance again.
I cannot give any history Of him In
order; nobody can now; and, indeed,
/ am not trying to. These are the ira
ditions, which l sort out, as 1 believe
them, from the myths which have been
told about this man for forty years.
The fellows used to say he was the
Iron Mask" and poor George Pons
went to his grave In the belief that
this was the author Of "Junius," who
was being punished for his celebrated
libel on Thomas Jefferson. Pons was
not very strong In the historical line
A happier story than either Of these
have told is Of the war. That came
along soon after. I have heard this
affair told In three or four ways, and
indeed, 1t may have happened more
than once. But which ship 1t was on
cannot tell. However, In one, at
least, of the great frigate duels with
the English, in which the navy was
really baptized, 1t happened that n
round shot from the enemy entered
one of our ports square, and took right
down the officer of the gun himself
and almost every man Of the guns
crew. Now you may say what you
choose about courage, but that is not
nice thing to see. But as the men
who were not killed picked themselves
up, and the surgeons people were car
rying OF the bodies, there appeared
Nolan, in his shirt sleeves, with the
rammer in his hand, and, just as If he
had been the officer, told them off with
authority, who should go to the cock
pit with the wounded men, who should
stay with him, perfectly CHEEKY, and
with that way which makes men feel
sure oil is right and is going to be
right. And he finished loading the
gun with his own hands, aimed 1t, and
bade the men fire. And there he
stayed, captain Of that gun, keeping
those fellows in spirits, till the enemy
struck, sitting on the carriage while
the gun was cooling, though he was
exposed all the time, showing them
easier ways to handle heavy shot, max.
ing the raw hands laugh at their own
blunders, and when the gun cooled
again, getting 1t loaded and fired twice
as often as any other gun on the ship
The captain walked forward, by way
of encouraging the men, and Nolan
touched his hat and said:

Harrisburg.
Under the terms OF the conscription
law as agreed upon by the joint com
mittee Of the Senate and House Of
Representatives, Pennsylvania, provi-
ded every man between the ages of II
and 30 years is physically and mentally
fit for service, could place an army
OF 1,036,94S in the field. These figures
were submitted to the State Commit.
tee on Public Safety by the Depart
ment OF Statistics at Harrisburg and
are based on the census of 1910.
Providing half of these men, through
physical defects or through provisions
in the selective conscription act, are
excused from service, there would still
remain formidable host OF more than
half-million soldiers to bear the
States burden in defending national
honor and national rights What part
the Public Safety Committee will play
in conscripting the forces OF the Com
monwealth has not yet been deter
mined. II is understood, however,
that this phase of the program is up
for consideration at Harrisburg and
that a decision on enforcing couscrip-
tion will be made within few days.
In the meantime the committee Is
planning the best use of the $4,000
900 appropriated by the Legislature to
be used in waging a two-year cam
paign on the agricultural, industrial
and military needs of the State. With
reference to this, George Wharton
Pepper, chairman of the Public Safety
Committee, made the following state
ment:
The Committee OF Public Safety has
been waiting for some time for the
passage Of the bill introduced into the
Legislature at its request. Its an.
proval by the Governor now places at
the disposal of the committee, through
the Commission named in the act, the
sum Of $2,000,000 for use in carrying
on a two-year campaign for the agri.
cultural, industrial and military well.
being of the Commonwealth. The
plans which the committee has been
formulating in anticipation of the
appropriation will make a large de.
mand upon the activities of the local
committees throughout the State.
The Agricultural Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce took up the
task OF cooperating with the State in
the effort being put forth to provide
teams and labor for farmers. Teach
ers in public, parochial and private
schools began to enroll for farm work
and volunteered their aid in marshal.

The first gun Of the canning cam.
paign was fired, with the following
announcement:
The slogan in every home this year
should be no empty cans This will
be especially necessary If there
should be shortage of tin and glass
cans, as has been predicted. Every
homemaker should at this time take
inventory of her supply of jars She
should know how many Jars she has
available and secure now a sufficient
supply of rubbers. Odd sizes of lars
and wide-mouth bottles may be used.
Furthermore, every homemaker
should estimate at once the number
of jars she will use for fruit and for
vegetables, and determine what fruits
and vegetables shall be canned or
dried. She should remember to plan
for the foods that have the proper
food value and which meet the body
needs in food requirements.
A minimum amount of pickles
should be preserved and crooks or
similar vessels should be utilized for
the purpose. The food value of
pickles is not high, and they are
rather indigeetible. Only enough
should be put up" TO provide for
little variety and an occasional relish.
