THE EVENING STORY
A SHORT STORY.
Copyright. 1917. by W. Werner

Upon her first morning at home
Anne Belden awakened rather earlier
than usual. The glad sunshine flowed
into her pretty bedroom, and, rising
she went to the window to look for
evidences of spring. A phoebe bird
called ringingly from q tree across
the way-a tree that shadowed a for
lorn looking house which Anne remem-
bered of old.
II wonder who lives there now?" she
wondered; then her lips opened in a lit
tie gasp, as from the shabby front door
of the house emerged a tall man in Il
gray ulster. He locked the door behind
him, then went to the window and
looked in. In mediately appeared se
the pane a cluster of three childish
faces, wistfully Smiling. After some
injunctions the man went away, with
the children watched him out of sight
and throwing kisses at his back.
THAT was Calvert Hull Anne
breathed. But how does he come to
be living in that old house? And
what did his locking those children
in there mean? 1t can't be he leaves
them alone. / must ask Mrs. Griffin and

She dressed more quickly than usual
and ran down stairs Mrs. Griffin, who
cared for the house during Anne's long
absences and who cared for Anne her
self when she had the opportunity, was
setting the breakfast table with won
derful old silver and china. She was
well prepared TO answer Anne's ques-
tions.

CHANCE TO BECOME OFFICERS.
100 Enlisted Men Annually to Be
Appointed to Naval Academy.

Provision is made in the current naval
appropriation bin for tho appointment
of 100 enlisted men annually as mid
shipnen a the Naval Academy instead
of twenty Ave. Concerning this Sec
retary Daniels said: This opens more
doors of advancement. promotion and
opportunity to the enlisted personnel
of the navy. The men who have al
ready entered the Naval Academy from
the ranks have demonstrated the wis
dom of appointing those who have had
actual experience on battleships.
"Aspiring young men will now IN
greater numbers enlist in the navy be
cause of the larger opportunity for
realizing their hopes to become naval
officers That incentive will powerful
N attract 10 the service many of the
most ambitious and capable youth OF
the country.
II am highly gratified that this pro-
vision was adopted. practically unani-
mously by both the House and Senate.
1t shows that the American people
have come into "A real appreciation OF
the character and fitness of the capabl
and aspiring young men who enlist in
the navy.

GETS MEDAL OF HONOR.
Sergt. Maj. Winans of Marine Corps
Rewarded for Bravery.

For displaying extraordinary heroism in
battle with rebels in Santo Domingo.
Sergt. Maj. Roswell Winans. United
States Marine Corps, has been decorated
with the medal of honor" the highest
award of merit attainable by the Ameri-
can military or naval man.
Winans operated a machine gun against
the enemy, only $50 yards away, in the
face of a heavy fire, to which he was
fully exposed. When jam put the gun
temporarily out of commission he stood
up and coolly repaired it, maintaining
his perilous position. and resumed firing
until the bandits deserted their trenches
Marine Corps officials say Winans' prompt
action saved the lives of many Of his
companions.
The "medal of honor is given 70 very
few persons and only in cases OF extraor-
dinary valor. Unlike the iron cross.
Victoria cross and similar European dec
orations, this American medal is worn
pendant from the neck.

CHARTS TO BE PROVIDED.
Navy Will Be Supplied, Despite
Failure of APPROXIMATION Bill.

United States war vessels probably win
not be without charts after all. it
feared, following the revelation that ths
failure of the deficiency appropriation bill
would probably prevent the coast and
geodetic survey from supplying the latest
charts TO the navy.
Secretary Reddeld OF the Department OF
Commerce sad today that while the Navy
Department will be unable TO divert cer-
tain of its funds for the use of the sur
vey. he had been notified by the Navy
Department that certain stocks of paper
could be utilized by the survey for the
making of the charts. IL will be expected
that the Department of Commerce VIII
later reimburse the Navy Department foy
this material
This will leave the coast and eeodetia
survey to go ahead with its work as
usual, il is believed.

had reminded her of the other. She
snatched it off. and with the high:
steel-braced heel beat the glass out of

arms. The baby first" she cried to
little white Doris. She grabbed the
baby and swung him across the sill.
Now you-and you.
