He took out the weapon and as he did so he was somewhat startled to notice a lit- tle package of fresh new bank notes. There were ten of them, each for one hundred dollars. At first flush the thought that came to Merton was of the risk and care- lessness involved on the part of his employer in leaving all this money in so unprotected a situation. He started to place the money in the safe. Then a whimsical idea came into his mind. He was inclined to make a show of prosperity with Cragin, who now lived in his home town. Merton placed the money in his pocket book. “The bills are safer with me than in that desk drawer,” he reasoned. “I will masquerade as a Croesus for one evening at least!” That evening was rather a bore and a burden to Merton. This was because there was some drinking in the liter- ary clubs they visited. In this Merton did not partake and was not in har- mony with the old-time revelry. He( saw that his reformation produced a good impression on Cragin, and as he flashed the one hundred dollar bills | promiscuously Merton was assured that he would be reported on the road to wealth, and smiled whimsically over the idea. It was after he had reached the Worthington apartments that he made a dismaying and fearful discovery. His pocket book was gone. Lost or stolen, it was out of his possession, and— Ruin! disgrace! perhaps arrest! All night long he tossed on a sleepless bed. He wandered the streets aimless- 1y all that day. At eventide, wretched, haggard, desperate, he went to Eva and told her all the truth. She was only sorrowful. The ques- tion of replacing the lost money was the course honorable, inevitable. She made Merton draw his savings from the bank, she added enough of her own to make up one thousand dollars. Then Merton purchased ten new one hun- dred dollar bills and placed them {in the desk drawer. The luckless twain bore their secret burden courageously. Eva was more lovable than ever, but Merton never for a moment ceased to reproach him- self for his foolhardy exploit. “We will just build all over again,” said Eva sweetly. Somehow Mr. Worthington contin. ued to require the services of Merton. He finally made an arrangement where he was to remain as his private secre- tary at a liberal stipend. One day a month later Mr. Worth. ington was cleaning up his desk. Mer- ton stared hard as he saw him throw the money contents of the drawer into the waste basket with the words: “Be sure you burn up all that truck, Hull.” “But—that money!" “Oh, that isn't money," replied his men counterfeits in a celebrated case we shall write up for my ‘(‘rlxnmology" volumeo some day.” But Merton rescued the m(moy—hlsI the happy wmldlng| was no longer postponed, and the se- vere lesson he had learned made of Berton IIull a stronger, better man.

NAVIES ARE COSTLY THINGS When That Subject Is Under Discus- slon, Millions Appear Compara- Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss, the chief of the bureau of ordnance, sub- mitted figures to the house committee on naval repairs showing that to build a plant for the construction of armor with a capacity of 16,000 tons a year would cost about $11,000,000. This amount would be necessary if the a year were followed. The witness stated that the construction of this plant would be a wise policy, since it would have the effect of enabling the government to control the price of armor. Secretary Daniels is of the opinion that there is a "gentleman's understanding” among the armor plate makers of the world to keep the price up to its present figure of something less than $500 per ton. On January 1, 1915, the French ad- miralty will begin the construction ot four superdreadnaughts of about 29,- 000 tons, which will each carry 16 12.4-inch guns in four quadruple tur- rets. These ships will be able to fire cight guns ahead, eight astern and 16 on each broadside. The French be- lieve that these ships will be superior to the Pritish Queen Elizabeth type, which can concentrate half the num- ber of 15-inch guns in the several di- rections of fire, or four ahead and astern and eight on each broadside. 'ith only a portion of the fleet equipped to burn fuel oil, the Ameri can naty is now using 30,000,000 gal- lons of fuel oil a year, and, according to the secretary, the time will soon come when the annual amount re- quired will be 000,000 gallons.
