A letter was read from the Government heartily Indorsing the plan, and two navy officers came from League Island to drill the boys. All of the men interested aro graduates of the Plattsburg camp. fTlHE only thing there seems to be more --of than "benefit performances" Is auxiliaries. The latest to claim atten tlon and It Is for a benefit performance, too is the auxiliary committee for Mrs. Bok's "Settlement Music School." This committee of girls and recently married yourur women, under the honorary vice presidentship of Mrs. Bok, Mrs. Samuel 8. Pels and Mrs. A. J. Dallas Dixon, an Bounces a musicale for next Monday afternoon at Mrs. Henry La Barre Jayne's louse, 1035 Spruce street, for the benefit Of tho scholarship fund of the music fchool. Theso girls maintain one of the pupils down at tho music school with this scholarship fund, which, of course, has to be paid annually. The Jayne music room, with Its lovely ergan, makes an Idea' setting for a small concert, and the program is of peculiar Interest, In that every number will be performed by a member of tho auxiliary. Two of the compositions to be' presented re by .members of the auxiliary, Eliza beth Gest and Frances McCollin, both of whom, I am told, are composer-members of tho Philadelphia Manuscript Music Society. The membership of tho auxiliary, which numbers forty, Includes such well-known Philadelphia, girls as Margaret Yardley Potter, Kathleen Dennlston Kent, Char lotte Jones, tho three JolInesKate Jayne Davis and Frances Stoughton Ballard. And after the music there will be "eats," as cakes and candies are to be on ale. fTlHE thirty-third club night of the I- Plays and Players was marked by the Presentation of two unusually good per formances, "Gentlemen Unafraid," adapted from A.

Anyway, I shall leave tho nffalr entirely to her decision. I'll give you my answer In thirty minutes." I shook hands with him, conscious ngaln nf tho pathetic pleading ot his eyes as they met mine. As I turned to go he sank down Into tho chair, a disconsolate figure, with haggard face toward me. As I otosed the door, and stood outsldo In tho mlffl- cabin, It suddenly occurred to mo that 1 did not know the man's name. Masters had not mentioned It; I had not asked, nor did I recall noticing the signature on tho mani fest. rilAPTKIl XII WK ACCI3PT ADVKN'TUnR ASI, emerged from behind tho butt of tho Izzenmast the only person vlslblo was a long-legged cabin boy Industriously rub bing nway at a grease spot on the deck. He was not aware of my presence until I spoke, when he gazed up at mo across his shoulder, with seeming Uttle Intelligence In his dull eyes. "Do you know which of these staterooms the lady was given?" "How's that, sir?" "The woman who camo on board an hour ngo." I explained. "Whero was she put?" "Oh, yes, Blr; over there; I just took her In a needle an' some thread." "All right what Is your name?" "Joe Joe Moon, sir." I crossed oer nnd rapped at the state room door, which had a figure five stenciled on tho upper panel. The boy stood up and watched me curiously, rag in hand, "Who is there?" she asked. "This Is llollls; could you spare me a few moments?" "Certainly; I will come out directly," she laughed, "I have been doing some emergency mending." I picked out a chair and sat down. "Joe." I said rather firmly, not altogether enjoying his rigid scrutiny, "I am going to command this steamer until she makes port, so you will tako your orders from me, You understand?" "Yes, sir," 'iVery well, then, go ahead Into the galley until you're sent for. Tell tho cook to have supper aft at seen sharp." He disappeared and a moment later the door of Number 5 opened, and the girl greeted me pleasantly, crossing the cabin swiftly and extending her hand as I arose to my feet. If her gray suit had greatly suffered my eyes failed to note tho extent of damage, while she had contrived to re arrange her halrr and her eyes were no longer haggard. "I feel aotually born anew, Mr. Hollls." she exclaimed. "I am almost afraid I was m i l.l" U flu MmWBiRH V ' " ' 'KW! burglnr stole?" leaving - ." losing my nerve In that little boat. "Where Is this steamer bound?" "That Is what I called upon you to dla curs." "Called upon me to discuss; how ridicu lous! What should a girl know about such things?" "It Is rather odd. I confess; but, as It htppens, the situation Is a strange one. You know nothing about the conditions on board?" "Very little; only that the shin was struck by lightning nnd several men killed. You came to tell me about It?" "Yes; sit down, and I will givo you the whole story The captain nnd both mates are dead ; the fellow on deck In charge when we came aboard was the chief engineer. The owner of tho boat and cargo, however. Is here; I have Just been talking with him In the cabin yonder. He Is in poor health and crippled In one limb." "What Is his name?" "Foolishly I forgot to ask. and Masters that Is the name of the engineer neglected to mention It when he Introduced us. How ever, that makes no difference In tho facts. I'll tell you tho story ns briefly as I can." She listened Intently, leaning forward In her chair, her rlngless hands clasped, her eyes on my face. Tho simple story seemed to thrill her, breathing as it did the mystery and romance of tho sea. Again nnd again she Interrupted with some swift question or exclamation of surprise, but generally re mained silent, her lips parted In breathless anticipation. "And that. Miss Vera." I said at last, "Is the present situation. It is for you to fur nish the final solution." "For me ! You tell me all this merely to leave tne decision with me?
