It took Vesey exactly 16 minutes, He brought the m. 6 @ pad with the code-key written on It. “1 felt the swing of it as goon as 1 saw it,” suid Vesey. “Hurrah for old Calloway! He's done the Japs and every paper in town that prints literature Instead of news, Take a look at that.” Thus had Vesey set forth the read. tng of the code.

Old Calloway gives us the cue word, and we use the word that naturally follows it just as we use ‘em in the paper. Read it over, and you'll see how pat they @rop into their places, Now, here's the measage he intended us to get.” Vesey handed out another sheet of THE SEATTLE STAR hee ht Page ing for days to move those pins along the crooked line of the Yalu. They did so now; and in words of fire Ames translated Calloway's brief Message into a front page master piece that set the world talking, He told of the secret councils of the Japanese officers; gave Kuroki’s Naming speeches in full; counted the cavalry and infantry to a man and & horge; described the quick and al- Jent building of the bridge at Sulkau chen, across which the mikado's legions were hurled upon the sur Prised Zassulitoh, whore troops were | Widely scattered along the river, And the battie!—well, you. know what Ames can do with a battle if you give him just one amell of smoke for & foundation, And in the same story, with seemingly supernatural knowledge, he gleefully scored the mont profound and ponderous paper im England for the false and = mis leading account of the intended movement of the Japanese Firat army, printed in its issue of the mame date, Only one error was made; and that ‘Was the fault of the cable operator at Wi-ju. Calloway pointed it out after he came back. The word “great” in his code should have been “gage” and its complemental words “of battle.” But it went to Ames “conditions white,” and of course he took that to mean snow, His description of the Japanese army struggling thru the snowstorm, blinded the whirling flakes, was thrillingly vivid. The artists turned out some effective illustrations made a« hit as pictures of the lery dragging their guna thru the drifts, But, as the attack was made on the first da: f May the “cond tions white” ©: ment. But it made no difference to the Enterprise, anyway, It was wonderful, And Calloway was wonderful! in having made the new censor believe that his jargon of worls meant no more than a com plaint of the dearth of news and « petition for more money. And Veney was wonderful. And most wonderful of all are words, and how they make friends one with gnother, being oft annociated, until not even obituary notices them do part. Om the second day following, the city editor halted at Vesey’n desk, where the reporter was writing the story of a man who had broken his leg by falling Into a coal-hole—Ames having failed to find a murder mo- tive In it. “The old man says your salary ts to be raised to twerfty a week,” said Scott, “All right,” mid Vesey. “Every little helps, Say—Mr. Scott, which would you aay—"We can state with out fear of mucceastul contradiction,’ or ‘On the whole it can be safelf as nerted’?"* . » Japan Prince’s Wedding Delayed TOKYO,—(y Mail)}—While an of- ficial statement has just been given out to the effect that thé emperor's health has improved very conaidera- Diy as | resuit of his stay at his summer villa at Nikko, evidence of the fact that no great hope ts enter. tained that his majesty will recover . | sufficiently to allow him to carry on Conditions white Way con- force.

You have also ansisted ma- terially in giving us the biggest ‘deat’ of the year. I will let you know in a day or two whether you are to be diecharged or retained at « larger salary.

He saw attempted murder in the pains of green-apple colic, cyclones in the summer zephyr, lost children in ev- ery top-epinning urchin, an uprising passing automobile, When not re writing, Ames sat on the porch of his Brooklyn villa playing checkers with his 10-year-old son.
