He knew the world was quite filled with Silas Babsons; indeed, during his busy years in New York he had met more than cne of them, had crossed financial swords with them, had de- feated them and been defeated by them. Such men were all in the day's work for him, and such irritation as he had felt against Babson was solely out of sym- pathy for Lorry Kershaw. If the impending disaster aj red to affect Babson only, he would have dis- missed all thought of him. rtainly he would not have wasted any sym- pathy on him.

Ralph W. Alderman, national and interna- tional rifie champion, died at Walter Reed Hospital and was buried in Ar- lington National Cemetery with full military honors. Capt. Alderman en- listed in the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard in 1900, and served as a member of the brigade rifie team for many years. He was & member of the international Palma rifle team at Ot- tawa, Canada, in 1912, and for three years was & member of the Dewar international trophy team. He at- tended the rifle matches at Sea Girt, N. J, for years and at Camp Perry, Ohio, being present at the opening of show with eleven hundred dollars and met the Bepmmber pay roll.” “You're & man's woman,” he told her feelingly. “I've never had more fun losing ten thousand dollars.” “And I've never had more fun win- ning it. You're a true blue sport, Nate, and a true biue sport never knows a regret.” And she laughed and tore uj u:e check. He no reply to make to this.
