Evans has had no Idle days since Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, on July 4 last, gave the first official announcement of the plan to centralize the navy ih the Pacific. It will be the most spectacular feat In the history of the American navy, and Is scheduled to take place this winter, beginning about the middle of December, Sixteen battleships, under the command of Evans, and a flotilla of six destroyers, will steam around South America, passing through the Strait of Magellan, thence up the Pacific to San Francisco, where they will Join the squadron now off the western coast, making the combined Pacific fleet the most powerful ever assembled under an American flag, thence possibly to Puget Sound and on to the Philippines and, if present reports are reliable, through the Suez canal back to Atlantic waters. It was In this month 387 years ago, according to the historian, when the adventurous Magellan,' In quest of a western route to the Spice Islands, pushed his little fleet Into the narrow strip of .water separating the islands of Tlerra del Fuego from the southern extremity of the South American continent .What would the first European navigator of the Pacific think could he witness the passing through the strait of the magnificent array of floating fortresses, which Is to take place in a few months? There Is no question of the benefit so the navy In general apart from the direct practical results of the long cruise for the ships that will compose the fleet. Already there Is a rush to Join the navy, and that department Is no longer in need of such an extensive system of advertising as heretofore to secure recruits. Then, too, the public is going to take an Interest in the navy after It starts on the long cruise. The Amerwill touch at many ican foreign ports, and there will be reports of numerous diplomatic procedures In connection therewith that will add to the features of the trip. National Interest In such a cruise was aroused to its greatest pitch In the case of the Oregon in 1898, when Capt Clark brought his famous battleship around from the Pacific to the Atlantic to join In the movements against the Spanish.' 14,-00- Puyson.

And one could repeat the oft quoted words of the erstwhile popular song, aot only once more, but five times more, to hint at the story of the patient and loyal girl who waited In vain at the house of worship to hear the wedding bells ring for her. Six times, actually, sweet, sensible and attractive Inga Lindquist waited at the church for Alfred Rasmussen that the parson might tie the matrimonial knot for them. But some strange fate Intervened to blast the hopes of the blushing bride-elecEach and every time the bridegroom-to-be proved recreant and either failed to appear at the church, or fled after the bridal party and guests had assembled.

On each occasion the heart-brokebride was left in tears of shame and anguish, while the wedding guests raged at his heartlessness in deserting the trusting girl and depriving them of the promised sumptuous feast and merry-makinthat were to follow the ceremony. Yet this recalcitrant fiance really and truly loved the confiding and patient young woman who had given her all of the passion of her heart And he well, she bad such unbounded faith In the genuineness of his professed affection for her that the bitter denunciations of her friends and relatives could not shake It, and she readily granted hlrfi forgiveness each time He was he pleaded for her pardon. so eloquenL this handsome Alfred and he sued for her womanly Indulgence with such eloquence and protested his deep, undying love for her with so ardent words of endearment she could not deny him the clemency he craved.

Miss Inga Lindquist, the heroine of six times the romance In real life, was not a giddy young thing or either "Bweet 16," 17 or even 18, for that matter, when her romance began. Indeed, full 30 summers, and, like as not, as many winters, had been recorded In her life history up to that time. Inga Lindquist for a number of years was an expert milliner, and In a big millinery as house, earned and was paid a good alary, one that many an able man in mercantile life would be only too glad service. The t receive for high-clas- s young womans employers valued her services so highly that several times she hinted at giving up her position to engage in the millinery business for herself they Induced her to remain and gave her a Substantial advance t.

MARTYRS TO THEIR Why There It More Blindness Among Arabs Than Any Other People. I Everybody was too dumfounded to utter a word; even the repeatedly deceived minister was so stunned that he conld not vent his anger In words. When tho others recovered the power of speech there was a babble of Indignant talk. Only the bride was silent fur a time. She smiled faintly, but her face showed a grim determination. which the others could not read. Ridding her aunt, the bridesmaid, attendant and her gentleman cousin enter the carriages, she informed the rest of tho party that there would bo r.o feast at her home that day, but latr on they would rocnlve an invitation to dlna with her and her husband."
