There, too, are stones amid the long rows, to mark other unknown dead of other wars, and the bulk of the monument above tlre single grave where rest the unknown Of the war between the states, gathered from many battle fields.
 But for the newcomer from France among this fellowship of valor. a special place of honor has been made. out of the live stone that forms the memory of men everywhere who died for the flag.

 The casket was again lifted by the body-bearerS and carried to the place prepared for 1t in the base of the sar- cctphagus not far from the spot where rests the body of Admiral Dewey. The last procession was made drew outside the amphitheatre and was followed by the honorary pail bearers, President Harding, his Cab inet, foreign diplomats and, in orderly fashion, all who had witnessed the ceremonies in the amphitheatre.
 After the casket had been placed at the entrance to the sacophagus the ceremonies for the dead were con- ducted by the chaplains-frst in the faith and then in the Hebrew. The body was then entombed.

 Fold on fold, the calm hills drop away from the terrace where the sleeper from France lies honored, but unknown. At his feet sculptured marble baIustrade sweeps out on either side, marking the wide, grace full curve of the foot-way that drops down to the grass grown slopes where day by day. many a gallant comrade from France is finding his last resting place. Down there the new headstones gleam in countless variety. There is hardly an hour of any day when sorrowing relatives are not moving slowly among the flowers on the low mounds. On the headstones are cut the names, the dates of birth and death Of the dead, and names of French villages where they made their great sacrifice. Man by man, their record is written for all to know and honor.

 Everywhere about the Rnphithea- ter are monuments cut with names that touch memory to life, that bring echoes of the thunder of guns from old, far off battle scenes.

 Just beyond the amphitheater rises the slender mast of the old Maine, brought from Havana to mark the resting place of her dead soldiers and sailors and marines. It is their last muster and for them all has been raised the great marble pile wherein the unknown sleeper from France keeps his vigil.

There was something so set in
Dyck's voice that the admiral had a
sudden revulsi0n against him, yet, af-
ter moment of thought, he made 81
sign to Captain Ivy
Then he dictated the terms which
Dyck had asked, except those concern
ing the reforms he had made, which
was not in his power TO do, save for
the present.
When the document had been signed
by the admiral Dyck read the con
tents aloud. 1t embodied nearly all
he had asked.
"Now, ask permission for one more
thing only, sir-for the new captain of
the Ariadne to go with me to her, and
there l will read this paper to the
crew. I will give a copy of it to the

The admiral stood for a moment In

With a deep sigh, the planter raised
his head from the table where he was
writing, and looked out upon the lands
he had made his own. They lay on
the Thomas river, few hours horse
back travelling from Spanish Town, the
capital, and they had the advantage
of a plateau formation with noun
tains in the far distance and rayines
and valleys everywhere.
Now his eyes wandered over the
space where were the grandllla, with
its blossom like a passion-hower, the

On the deck of the Beatitude, Dyck
looked into the eyes of Captain Ivy.
He Saluted; but the captain held out
a friendly hand
You're a mutineer, Calhoun, but
your ship has given us the victory. I'd
like to shake hands with the man
that's done so good a stroke fov Eng

A queer smile played about Cal
houn's lips.
I've brought the Arladne back TO

fought as well as men ever did since
Britain had navy. I've brought her
back to the kings fleet to be par

But you must be placed under ar
rest, Calhoun. Those are the orders
that wherever the Ariadne should be
found she should be seized, and that
you should be tried by court-martial. j."
Dyck nodded.
