MRS. JOHN R. VALENTINE, of Bryn

SNEAKING of navy men. there was a
certain little happening In ono of tho
yards of late which has not reached the
jubllc ear, and yet it seems too good to
keep. The officers had been notified that
a certain admiral was coming thero very
oon'to visit the yard, and it happened
that not ono man in the office knew salo,
admiral even by sight. They were there-
t fore somewhat on the watch for their
i distinguished visitor for some days. Then
-s they forgot about him for the ttmo being,
( bat one forenoon, when all tho olllcers
fc'er gathered together In one of the
k room-, one happened to look out of the
L lndow and there coming along tho walk
r 'M Mr. Admiral.
Of course it was he, for wasn't ho a
regular H. M. S. Pinafore Admiral, with
. ewallow-talled coat, gold stripes and
feathered hat, Just aa Btyllfh as could be?
S ty rose al the membera of tho staff In
Jfc the office, up went their mtnds in salute-
ft , M Mr. Admiral entered. He looked a w eo
bit bewildered at his reception nnd tlm-
asked what all this respect meant.
'Are you not Admiral ?" "Why.
(d o; I used to bo a paymaster in the early
"sniies, and they told us all to report
to Uniform."
And, mind you. the uniform was of tho

"pEALLY, Foster, I don't need it."
-Cv declared Mrs. Challoner stoutly but
kindly. "I can't taka It. Somo day,
perhaps, I may need money, and then I'll
send for you" And then, quietly chang
ing the subject: "How fresh you look.
Foster! And what a man jou'vo married!
There is no need 'to ask it you aro happy.
for "
"Well," said Stevens, approaching them.
"wo must be going now, for Bernhardt will
bo waiting for us."
"It was good of jou to see us. raa'am.
said Foster, putting out her hand, Just as
Bhe had seen the ladles do In the otd days
at tho big Challoner houso on tho Atenue.
"So you married for love," said Miriam
Challoner, as they started to go.
"Well, he did," conceded Foster.
"She did. ma'am." corrected Stevens; and
presently they were sailing down tho street
like a pair ot loers "waiKing oui on
Sunday afternoon
"Ono hundred dollars a month ! slRhed
Miriam, reseating herself at tho typewriter.
"And they were going to ste m .u me

Onco moro engrossed In her work, she did
not hear tho doorbell, which had been ring
ing persistently. At the. end of a page she
paused and bent her head low over her
work. , t
for love," she mused, half-
Olrtll.l
Meanwhile, her caller, determined to be
admitted, had stolen softly Into the room,
though it was not until she' stood beside her
that she attracted Miriam's attention. For
a moment Miriam glared hard at her; she
could not believe her own eyes; then, sud
denly rising to her feet, she cried halt-Joyfully,
half-regretfully:
"Why. It's Shirley Bloodgoodt Oh, why
did you come ! You must not stay, you must
not see
"Why did jou hide from mer quickly
returned Shirley. "I hae searched for you
for months, and It wa only yesterday that
I learned from Stevens where you were,
who. by tho way, had orders not to reveal
your whereabouts You might as well have
moved a tnousami mues nwny, ua ovcrjruuu?
thinks you have."
"It takes money to move a thousand miles
away," she protested feebly.
"You aro like a needle In a haystack over
hero," continued Shirley.
"Hut why did jou come?" Miriam kept on
protesting. "Why. Shirley "
Shirley stretched forth hor arms, saying:
"And you didn't want to seo me!"
"Yes, cs," cried Miriam, suddenly catch
ing Shirley and clinging to her affection
ately. "Yes, I have wanted you to como no
much but r hoped you never would see
this1" And sho spread out her nrms as
though to exhibit tho room.
"What a poor opinion you havo of mo!
Whv. Miriam. If I wanted to seo handsome
apartments I need not have taken all this
trouble to find you. No Indeed. I value
jour friendship too highly to desert you on
account of this."
And now the two women fell to talking
about things past and present After a
whllo It was Shirley who delicately broached
tho sub'ect of Laurie.
"And iJiurle how Is he?" she asked.
Miriam's eyes kindled for an Instant, but
their flro soon died out.
"Poor boj ' she answered, "he's under
such a stialn. It's a wonder ho doesn't
break down. He's so good nnd kind
through It all. too. He's a flno fellow,
now," she went on with great enthusiasm
"Let me see," said Shirley, lemlnlsccntly,
"his conviction was reversed on appeal,
wasn't It?"
"Why, no; don't you remember that It
was nfllrmed affirmed "
"I do remember now. And It was that
ikv or tho next one that you ran away
from me. j-ou bad girl, and I'vo never seen
you since Affirmed afllrmed," she mused;
and then suddenly leaned forward and
Inquired eageily:
"Then how did he get off?"
Miriam shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know," she said, "nobody knows;
not even Laurie knows that. One day
after tho ntllrmance, the Jail doors wero
onened. and he was free that's all and
he camo back to me."
"Surely Murgatroyd knows," said Shirley.
"Oh, yes, of course he knows; but wo
havo never asked any questions. Why
should we? I shall never forget Murga
tioyd though I remember him In my
prayers. He was honest; ho kept his
w ord "
"Murgatroyd, the man with a price I
Well, I suppose It's Just as well that there
are people In this world who can be bought
now and then."
"I havo novcr forgiven myself," sighed
Miriam.
Shirley looked nt her questlonlngly.
"You? What for, pray?"
"For blurting out In the courtroom what
I did when the Jury found Laurie gul ty.
Why, It was abominable I It was treachery!
I had promised, don't you seel"
"That was Clever in aiurKuiroyu, uu
mttted Shirley. "He would have been a
fool to acquit Laurie on that trial. Oh,
yes " she added, with a sneer, "he's clever,
all "right!"
Mrs. Challoner straightened up.
"Fortunately my outbreak did no great
harm: nobody believed me."
"Except myself," observed Shirley, "and
JI"EvenyLaurie didn't believe me." went
on Miriam, "untll-well, I don't know
whether he's quite sure about It today.
We never discuss the subject, anyway. It's
Jl r..-..iM. h said, nushln. "that
"Murgatroyd Is making a name for him
self. Isn't he?"
Shirley throw up her hands In Indignation.
"Who wouldn't, with that stolen money to
back him I" sho exclaimed fiercely.
Miriam shook her head.
"He's doing good work with It He's
breaking up tho organization tho lnslda
ring. I'm sure that tho effect of his work
Is felt even oer here." And then she
added vehemently: "But his best work will
bo over when he has succeeded In breaking
Cradlebaugh's. When ho does that "
"After he downs Cradlebaugh's," Inter
rupted Shirley, "If he eer does, I hope he'll
down himself. That's my wish for Billy
Murgatroyd 1"
"MurRatroyd Is honest," protested Miriam.
Shirley smiled a hard smile.
"You mistake his mothe. Shirley. He's
ambitious frightfully ambitious. Why, even
now he's planning to go to the Senate," de
clared Shirley; but she did not add that It
was sho who had put tho Idea Into his head.
Think of Billy Murgatroyd's being Senator !
He'll ask a billion the next time he's bousht.
Instead of a million I" sho wound up, scorn
fully. "You forgot," quietly but forcibly re
minded Miriam, "that I stand up for Murga
troyd." "Poor Miriam," sighed Shirley to herself,
"sho alwajs was easily fooled." A moment
later she exclaimed: "A typewriter !'
"I don't wonder at your suprlse." said
Miriam. "But It Is easy work and I like It
Immensely. I work for different people In
tho neighborhood." she went on to explain.
"A real estate dealer, one or two lawyers.
It's "
She broke oft abruptly, for they were In
terrupted by a faint whistle.
"It's the speaking tube," said Miriam,
tremblingly; but the next Instant sho was
In a HUle dark alcove calling down the
tube.
"I want you to ml tht huMF ' I
"I have got to have some money." he
maintained sulkily, stowing It still further
In his trousers pocket
"Glvo me that fifty-dollar bill, I say I"
went on Miriam, clutching at him.
"No, I will notl" returned her husband
stubbornly, and sought to escape but she
caught him by the arm and pulled him back.
He tried to wrench hlmsolf away; but for
once her strength was superior to his. Bhe
was beside herself with sudden anger, with
shame, with Ignominy, with ngony.
"You glo that bill to mo l" sne sam
through her closed teeth.
"You lot me go!" he growled, almost
Jerking himself out of her grasp. Then fol
lowed n struggle that was short sharp but
dcclslvo, Inasmuch as he finally succeeded
!n wrenching himself free from her. And
now, turning quickly, he smote her with
his clenched hand full In the face.
Miriam staggered back, her eyes opened
wide In humiliated astonishment.
"Oh, Laurie I" sho cried not with physi
cal pain, although there upon her face,
nuw red, now wh!te. was a broad, blotched
mark the bruise that the brute hod left
there.
He made a movement to go; but again
she was In time to prevent him; for quick
as a Hash sho had darted to the chiffonier,
opened a top drawer and drawn forth a
weapon.
"Stop!" sho cried In a. hard voice. "Dont
you daro to leave this room with that
money !"
Challoner blinked nt her stupidity.
"What aro you going to do?" he de
manded. Miriam laugher hj-sterlcally.
"What am I going to do? I know what
you're going to do 1 You'ro going to bring
that fifty dollars back here to me'"
"indeed? Well, I'm not!" reiterated Chal
loner.
Miriam tapped the pistol In her hand,
"Do J'ou see this?"
He grunted fearlessly.
"Well, what of It?"
"OUe mo that money," sho Insisted, ap
proaching him. As jot aho had not leveled
tho weapon, and Challoner, seelug his op
portunity started once more.
"Stop!" It was a new olce that spoke
now: the blbw that had struck her face
had suddenly transformed her Into a des
perate woman.
Challoner stopped ; for he aiw the weapon
trained upon him Again, without affecting
her aim, she tapped It
"Listen to me!" Bhe cried, her voice
growing hoarser as she went on, "this
thing has been responsible for one murder.
and now, Lawrenco Challoner, I'm going
to kill you with It. It's the last straw
that breaks the camel's back. I hate yout
I dcsplso you!" sho raged. "I loved you
once, I hae always loved jou until now;
j-ou loved me once, too, I know though'
other people thought that you had married
mo for my money. But I knew different
j-ou couldn't fool mo about that! An! It
was becauso of that love that I havo lled
for you and nothing else. You have been
everything In the world to me my god,
almost. But It Is all over nowl I'm
through with ou, and I'm going to have
you thrown llko somo soiled rag Into the
gutters of humanltj' where you belong I"
Sho paused for breath, but not once did
her weapon falter.
"There are two things." she resumed,
"that stand out In my memory Just now.
The first Is the night when you did not
come home I Do you remember that night?
No there were too many of them later
onl But I have never forgotten that night
I spent In the torture chamber 1 It was a
whlto night for me."

Meanwhile Shirley allowed her gaze to
wander about tho apartment, nothing had
escaped her notice, not even the cooking
that was going on In the kitchen.
"Somebody whistled up the tube." said
Miriam, returning, "but I couldn't got an
answer. I can't Imagine who It Is."
Then suddenly for the third time that aft
ernoon the outer door opened, but this time
It was thrust open with great violence, and

Shirley was dumfounded. Oulcklv hep
mind went back to that uuernouu, . .g ai
It seemed when he had come home after the
tragedy. Then, It Is true, he was unkempt
soiled, but now nnd she asked
herself whether It were possible that Miriam
could not soo the man as he really was. The
answer was Immediately forthcoming, for
Miriam went over and caught hlra In her
embrace.
"Poor Laurie, tired, aren't you, dear?"
she said fondly: nnd then turning toward
the girl: "Here's an old frlond of ours
Shirley Bloodgood!"
"So I see," he growled ; and without more
ndo he turned to Miriam and demanded
gruffly:
"Well, whero's your money? I've got to
have somo money right away."
Miriam fumbled for an In'tnnt at her
waist Sho did this more for appearance
Bake than anything else, for she well knew
that she had none to give him. Kvery day
she hod given him about everything she
made.
"Yes. Laurie," she faltered, "yes, of
course." And turning to Shirley, added by
way of apology for him: "Such an ordeal as
Laurie has been through such a strain,"
Shirley was In a panic. What sho had
seen wai, enough to moke her heartsick.
"Oh," sho suddenly exclaimed, "I have
forgotten all about father! I left him alone
I slmnly must i- n "
how glad And turning to Chal
loner, she held out lit
iKnorlng her completely, he again said to
his wife:
"Miriam, where Is that money?"
"Laurie Is such a business man now,
Shirley," said Miriam, smiling bravely at
tho girl.
But tho contempt which Shirley felt for
tho man before her was too grent for
words; and she merely repeated:
"Yes, I must be going nowl"
Half way across the room she halted, hes
itated for a momenfand then finally open
ing her purse, took from It a fifty dollar
bill.
"There, Miriam," she said with a note of
relief, "I have been meaning for a long
time to pay back that fifty dollars I bor
rowed from you a few years ago when I
was so hard up for money. I'm ashamed
not to have returned It before : and It's Just
like you not to remind mo. There, doar,
I'vo put It on tho chiffonier; and now, good

could even protest against her action.

Shirley that there never had been such a

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
BILLY TAKES A WALK
By Farmer Smith
"I have never seen this town before,"
began Billy Bumpus as bo strolled along
tho street
"I guess It will do mo a lot of good to
take a rest Kunny, Isn't It, how tho mind
needs a rest? I wonder what my mind
looks like. I guess It Is somewhere be
hind these horns of mine. I wish It would
stop working somotlmos nnd give me a
rest It doesn't stop when I am asleep, for
then I dream.
"I wonder what dreams aro. Queer
things
"I wonder what that sign says. I guess
the circus Is coming to this town, and I
will be ready to Join It by that time.
Hello! What's that? A lot of tents nnd
soldiers. Hurrah! Back to the army for
me."
With that Billy began to run downhill
nnd was soon near the guard He was
so glad to get back to tho army that he
started to run past the guard and was In
amontr the tents before any one could
stop him.
"Hoy, get that goat!" shouted one of
the soldiers.
Soon the camp was In an uproar, all
hunting for Billy Bumpus, who was hiding
under ono of the beds.
"What's tho matter with catching htm
nnd having him for our mascot?" nsked a
voice near Billy.
That did not seem half bad, bo Billy
got up and walked out In the sunlight
"drab him quick I" shouted one of tho
men.
It was not a hard task to get Billy, as
ho stood very still.
"Nice little goatle," began one of the
soldiers
"Such soft language 1" thought Billy, try
ing hard not to laugh loud for fear of
frightening the soldier., j
"Where will we put his royal highness?"
asked a man whom Billy knew to be an
officer.
"Let's tie him with a rope an Iron rope,
If we can find one, or a chain," replied the
private.
"What do you think of that?" asked
Billy under hla breath. "These are very
..i.n nnnl who wish to tie ma with an
Iron rope. It will take me until that circus
onmes thli way to get away from a ropo
Billy Bumpus was led away. Suddenly
a thought struck him.
"I'll do a tew iritKa i. um h uw
In the circus, nnd that will amuse them."
Ho stood on his hind legs and walked
this way and that
"Bully for you 1" shouted one of the sol
diers, who was back of Billy. "Hurrah for
