frames Of their rigid dirigibles waa
long well-kept secret. Suspecting
that it was a heat-treating SYSTEM.
the scientists in large Pittsburgh

many experiments along this line,
announced the discovery Of the
method and have tabulated tho
proper degrees Of tenn ~rature and
the length Of time these must be
maintained.
An unlooked-for outcome OF the
experiments was the discovery Of
material which is said to produce
an alloy superior to that produced
by the German method. Popular

Tonnibel thought quickly. Cousin
Paul Pendlehaven lived in the house
with an enemy who had tried to take
his life. This same enemy had tried
to destroy her, too.
"You said he was going away?" she
questioned Mrs. Curtis presently.
Didn't you?"

Doctor Paul wants to see you,

eyes fixed on the woman, "and if he
goes she pointed at Reginald, "and

Completely overlooking Katherine,

that Reginald had left Ithaca. When
she peeped at Doctor Paul, he smiled

Remainder of Naval
Officers Leave.
CABLES DENIAL OF CHARGES
Tells Secretary Of Navy That His
so-calIed Jackass Speech in Eng
land Was CARRIED and State
ments Misguided.

Washington, June IL Remainder
Of your leave is revoked. You will re-
turn to the United States immediate
~ and report at once in person to the
secretary of the navy. Acknowledge"
This terse cabIegram was dis
patched to Admiral w. S. Sims by Sec
rotary Of the Navy DENLY who, at the
time the message was sent, had not
vet received Admiral Sims reply to
his first cablegram asking for vertical
ton of the adnairal's quoted remarks
on the Irish question in London last
Tuesday night.
Secretary DENLY would not discuss
his latest order, but it was apparent
he was considerably annoyed because
Admiral Sims had not been prompt in
responding to his request for an sim
mediate" report on the London speech.
The secretary is further reported to
have been aroused because the Ameri
can admiral has continued making
public speeches with constant refer
ences to his reported remarks against
the Irish in America These have been
made the subject Of agitated com
ment in congress, resulting in an in
vestigatiOn being ordered by the SEN
ate into the admirals statements and
the Introduction of a resolution in the
house by Representative Galliyan
which would declare Admiral Sims to
be an undesirable alien and prevent
his return to the United States.
Later Rear Admiral William S.
Sims belated reply to Denby's cabled
demand for disavowal Of the so
called American jackass' speech in
London arrived. It is a plea of sin

made it public, but did not say it
closed the incident
Here is the dispatch which qualified
as an answer:
Statements attributed to me were
not correctly quoted. Context mis-
leading and garbled. Report Of state
ments is Incorrect and theoretically
wrong. Statements actually made
were substantially the same as repeat
edly made in public in America and in
my book, The Victory at Sea, and in
public address at meeting held for in
creasing good relations between the
English-speaking peoples"
The secretary read the reply and
then issued the order for its publica-
ton without any comment.
rs it satisfactory" the secretary
was asked. He insisted there was
nothing to be said.
"Has there been any recall of the
peremptory order revoking Admiral
Sims leave and ordering him home
for an immediate report to the secre-
tary?" was another question.
"There has been no action whatever
taken as a result Of the receipt of the
reply. In all probability nothing more
will be done now until the admiral
gets here" was the secretary's posi-
tive statement.
Other officials close to the secretary
pointed out the evasiveness in the ex-
PLANTATION. Some believed the message.
from the admiral was itself garbled
in some fashion by transmission.
In the secretarys order to the adj
miral he quoted specific statements
which he demanded that the admiral
verify or repudiate. In reply the adj
miral elected to disregard these spe-
cific quotations.

"Tm glad to see you all today" said

would be good idea. And mean to
take my own lecture to heart just
as much as mean to tell it to you.

Everyone laughed and Witty Witch
continued: you must all be proud
of your country and wave your flag
and rejoice that you belong to your
own beloved country-but you, mustn't
judge every other country in the world
by one or two people you may know
belonging to such countries.
''Be proud of your parents and your
grandparents and your ancestors, but
don't spend your whole time show
ing their pictures in the family al

thing yourselves, too!
BE friendly with your neighbors,
but don't think that means that you
can borrow their toys or their fresh

you wouldn't want asked of you.
Don't ask how much others pay

BROKE HEART OF SCIENTIST
Learned Man, Victim Of Thoughtless
Practical Joke, Proved Unable
to Live 1t Down.

What is believed to be the great
est hoax in the history of science was
played over a century ago by students
Of Prof. Bartholomaeus Adam Berlin
ger, holder of the chair Of natural
philosophy at the University of Wurz-
berg. He was keenly interested in
fossil remains, and was the leader in
the great group that held them to
be a sort of divine joke, placed in
the earth by God to test human faith.
Students designed score or more
of fossils from clay representing the
most absurd beasts their imaginatiOns
could conceive, and hid them in the
ground in a spot where the old paleon-
tologist was known to frequently dig.
He discovered them and accepted them
as real, and when little later the stu
dents hid other designs, showing
stars and suns and even inscriptions
in Hebrew, Syrian and Babylonian,
the old man was delighted and was
sure he had proven his grounds. He
began a book, of immense size, and
written in Latin, in which he gravely
set forth his proofs of the divine
origin. The shout Of laughter that
went up when the book was issued
broke the old mans heart, and he
died after spending every cent he had
III an effort to recall the book. What
made the joke more serious was the
faith with which many learned men
accepted the thing at first, Beringer's
reputation up to this time being high
in the world Of science.

enough. But Mr.. Giant said it was well
to go over the things we must not do,
every once in awhile, as well as the
things we must do.
"Of course he agreed with me that
the word DO was much more impor-
tant than the word DON'T.
'But now we must be having tea"
AS Witty Witch said this, six little
elves who had promised to help her
with the tea came forth carrying trays
with all sorts Of good things to eat.
There were cookies and pastries
and sandwiches and tea and little
hard candies of different colors
Even if did give you lecture"
said Witty Witch, I'm going to make
up for it by giving fine tea.
''And then after tea time we're go
ing to hear q story.
They all had most delicious and
splendid tea party, and after it was
over Witty Witch told this story
''Mr and Mrs. Dove were very de-
voted and happy.
Every day Mrs. Dove used to ask
Mr.. Dove if he loved her and every
day Mr.. Dove said that he did.
lone day though Mr.. Dove said,
"'You silly Mrs. Dove, of course /
love you. should think you would
know that by this time Of course
Mrs. Dove did know it, but she wanted
to be told it just the same.
''But she decided she wouldn't ask
him that question any more. A few
days went by and she didn't ask that
question. Mr. Dove became very much
worried that Mrs. Dove no longer
cared for him.
FINALLY he could stand it no long
err. You don't care whether care
for you or not, he said, you haven't
asked me in days now whether l love
you or not
"'But you said you did, Mrs. Dove
answered. You do, don't your
'Mr. Dove stuck out his little feath-
cred chest and said,
".Of course do, you silly little
dove. How often do I have to tell
you the same thing And Mrs. Dove
laughed to herself for. Mr.. Dove liked
to say that to her, but he missed an
swering her question as much as she
missed asking it in truth y
