reflected his chagrined perplexity. He
could already see Mans eyes. They
were bent keenly first on him. then on

Spain kept his face down as much as
he dared, and his hat had been pulled
well over it from the beginning.
They were now almost abreast. The
very instructive knowledge that her
eyes were bent on his made him steal
a glance at her in spite of himself. The

For officers in the Navy to assume

The costs run beyond the amount ap

at a contract price OF S76S,0OO. TO be
delivered within q certain time OF we
had to pay 4 large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
OF certain size and must pierce

pact. 1t is impossible to foretel the
exact conditions OF the tests
We had made large quantities OF shells
in the past which had been accepted.
But IN placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle At which
the tested shells must pierce armor-
plate. The result. however. has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce in any quantity. shells which will
meet these novel tests. In fact we
know Of no process of projectile-mak-
ing through which 1t is possible to pro-
duce in quantities shells which will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
