Council of National Defense, who was
said to have criticised the attitude of
the Hearst newspapers toward the

one Of the Hearst papers. had told me
that representative of the Council
of National Defense was making adj
dresses and spending lot of his time
criticising in harsh terms the Hearst
newspapers. | told Mr.. Clifford. di-
rector of the Defense CounciD that
] thought nobody who was officially
representing, the government ought
to be criticising any newspaper. I
dent care whether it is Hearst's pa
pers or anybody's else, and that while
Il handa't the slightest desire to pre-
vent any man expressing his individ-

didn't think that any man, as a rep
Tesentative of the government, ought
to be criticising any newspaper"

generosity Of Mr.. 4. A. Daugnertv,
president of the National Shipbuild-

Numerous changes in designs were,
however. to be advisable in the larg-

The project to build a wooden ship
Of this size is without precedent in

the Corporation IS continuing to let
contracts for the Ferris type to keep
the wood yards busy.
In preparing the now design, Mr..
Prior says, all the "griefs" Of the
Ferris type are to be avoided, if pos
siblc. Among these so-caIled griefs
is tfa difficulty Of obtaining material.
The machinery of the Ferris type is
to be utilized, however, in the new
ship. and many of the details and the
fittings on the former will be en-
ployed on the larger design to faciii-
tate construction.
Il has been decided to use the ma

wise trade and to get the maximum
of carving capacity it is planned to
construct the new vessels so that they
NAV be able to tow bargeS. In this
connection it is announced that plans

CHAPTER ".

And the years passed. and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older. and
more set and dispirited, with long al
ternating intervals Of resignation,
when he took life as he found 1t and
was satisfied. But he always came
out Of these into brief periods of un-
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the alkali and the
winds of the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now in Texas, now in Arizona, now
In some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest, he remained a cap
tain. He had no friends In Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, to be re-
neved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army centers not quite
% far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with %ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domiciled
permanently In Colonel Towards town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory, until their
arrival became a quarterly affair in
stead OF q monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
owe Mark that il ever he were to see
her again there would remain no com.
mon link between them. From doubt.
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des-
ert life had not blunted him, blunted
his finer instincts, and made him unfit
for social life-certainly rendered him
unit for the guardianship Of q young
girl.
But that he had relinquished to Col
onel Howard-grudgingly but uncom-
promisingly. Never In any Of his let
tiers did he put forward the shadow
Of his former claim.
Then. swiftly, and Unexpectedly,
chance turned and beckoned him.

IAN older one7" asked Mark, laugh.
ing, though he had a strange sinking
at his heart. This child epitomized
home to him. and he had been home
less since boyhood.
"You must forgive me-" she said, .
little wistfully. captain Mark,
there's something I want awfully to
say to you, but it takes q lot Of III
age" she added.
Tell me just the same" answered
Mark. "You know, my dear. / want
you to have everything you wish for.
And II Major Howard won't give it to
you. you just let me know. He has as
sumed the responsibility for your up
bringing, and I'm going to have the
fun Of giving you pleasure"
ITS something that Major Howard
can't give me. Captain Mark"
Can II"
"Yes," she said In a low voice, pull.
ing at his coat, and suddenly raising
her eyes to his. Mark Wallace saw the
soul Of a mature woman look out Of
the eyes Of the child. "When I'm old
er and have put my hair up, and wear
long dresses-when I'm eighteen, say,
II want you to marry me, Captain
Mark"
She was gone In a flash, running
along the corridor, while Mark Wal
lace stood dumfounded at the door,
hearing her footsteps grow fainter as
she hurried into the recesses Of the
Misses Harpers' School for Select
Young Ladies.
Mark went down the walk like q
IA dreaming. 1t was absurd 1t was,
perhaps, characteristic of the girls age
and temperament and yet. in spite of
the absurdity, Captain Mark Wallace
felt as IL he had suddenly regained
the grimy little child whom he had
found upon the hillside in front Of
Santiago, and lost again.
AS he reached the gate he saw q
man watching him from the bend Of
the road. Something Of f%urtiveness in
the mans posture made him wheel
sharply round; then he remembered
Eleanor's words and started In haste
toward him. But the man shambled
off at a quick gait and when Mark
reached the bend he could see no.

"And them" asked Mark In agita-
ton.
II remember nothing. I suppose the
bullet that killed my father must have
struck him while he was In the hut.
but I have no picture In my mind at
ALL"
Mark mumbled something to con-
ceal his agitation. "And do you re-
member me coming and picking you
up?' he asked.
She shook her head regretfully. II
don't remember anything else" she
answered. Nothing until that dinner
In the majors house."
She linked her arm through his and
looked at him earnestly. Uncle
Mark, it makes me unhappy some
times to think that I have no memory,
no clear memory of my parents. / an

will be cleared up. Don't you hope
sO?"
EYES," answered Mark, miserably.
He had always wondered what the
child would be like. Towards half
yearly letters had always assumed too
much for granted. Mark had practi-
cally relinQuished Eleanor to the Ma
jor, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted to
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious, high-strung, idealistic girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers dishonor, If
ever 1t came about, would shock her
into a revulsion Of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development OF
her character.
He had often wished that he had not
pressed that idea of the regimental
mascot upon the major. It had been
born In a mind attuned to the victory
Of tat bloody day; in normal mo-
ments he would never have enter
tanned it. Yet Major Howard had
been more impressed than he had adj
mltted to Mark. The idea had
spread through the minds Of the other
officers. There was never a Guard din
ner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted.
though she was not permitted to be
present, and somehow the child had
become a symbol in the minds of these
plain men In business and professional
life who spent two weeks in camp
each year.
After the war Mark had gone to the
regulars; but he was still in touch
with the officers Of the Seventeen, and
he knew that. If ever war came, he
could obtain an appointment to it.
II am IRE that my father will prove
to have been q brave soldier" said
Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly.
And sometimes" she continued, Il
think that there must have been a
great mystery about him."
