nice chat-all before the contract
was produced.
The contract--it had the name
of the Transcontinental Newspaper

He had read 1t very carefully. and
the terms were precisely what had
been offered him. While he was
reading it, he remembered, Mr..
Noble had taken from his bill case
without any flourish five hundred
dollars. He could remember seeing
the money lying on the table, the
bills folded over once.
The bills in his hand now we're
folded once!
But something was going wrong
with his memory. 1t had been
spinning the tale of events without
effort, but suddenly 1t had begun
to flag. Shute had to prod it.
What was 1t Mr.. Noble had said +?
oh, yes-"I'm going to have a

declined, of course, because he

When in the spring of 1898,
war was declared with Spain, the
president sent orders to every
naval vessel to concentrate in the
waters about Cuba, and the bat
tleship Oregon, then just COM
pleted, made her remarkable run
around South America, through
the Straits of Magellan, and
reached the fleet in time to take
part in the naval operations. Ac-
companying her was the little
gunboat Marietta, with Lieut..
William B. Caperton in command.
His feat in bringing his
smaller vessel around was
even more remarkable than
the run of the Oregon, though
IL was lost sight of in the ar
rival of the new and Cat that

Caperton got there" then, and
he has been getting there ever
since. No man in the navy. per-
haps, has had more varied and
more important work to do than
Caperton, and his reputation for
getting there" still stands.
A native of Tennessee, born in
1855, Caperton was graduated
from the naval academy in 1875.
He was commissioned ensign on
Aug. 3, 1877, and made his first
cruise in the Hartford.
He served in every grade and
on many ships, all over the world,
reaching the grade of rear admir-

nauseating.
But the smell that rose from

A shudder Of disgust passed
through him. He now took a sec

ReIniunn Takes Firm Stand.

Washington.-A supplementary BeIs
gian note, which accompanied the en-
tente allies reply to President VIII
sons peace appeal, pays tribute to the
sentiment of humanity which prompted
the president of the United States to
send his note to the belligerent pow
ers, and declares ardent wish to end
the war. 1t refers to the German treat
ment of Belgium as "barbarous." and
alleges the former government, after
the occupation Of Belgian territory,
displayed no better observance OF the
rules of international law or the stip-
ulations of The Hague convention.
The heavy taxation imposed on the
country, and the deportation of Bel
gian workers, are denounced.
It ends with an expression OF pro-
found gratitude to the commission
for relief as well as to the generous
Americans eager to relieve the misery
of the Belgian population.
