WASHINGTON Sept 28. Past 30,000 veterans of the Civil war, who stood with bared heads, four gun carriages, each conveying 'one flag-draped coffin, bore from the Washington navy yards today to Arlington cemetery the bodies of fourteen men who perished in the disaster to the submarine F-4 beneath the water of Honolulu harbor last March. . The bones of these heroes, two officers and) twelve enlisted men, were dragged from the bottom of the sea, but no man could tell what was the body of the dead. Companions in death, their bones were comingled today in four coffins. They now He in one grave. Some were Protestants, some Catholics, and that they might

Her Husband's Widow

' ' '. . . -. k : She could not delude herself any longer. She' had loved him 'and him only ; But now she ha done ' with love forever put it away from her as one puts away : the . memory ; of some painful malady. She simply did not want to . hear , any more aooui love, a aniion hatred of men burn ed up In her heart As Mrs. Melas had said, they were all liars. She wished Jimmy was not a boy. Oswald, of course, was a good fellow, but she would not be able to endure his presence for some time at least Mrs. Melas lingered a little while longer in the refreshment room, thinking deeply. At last she rose, paid the bill which Leslie had forgotten and left the building. In Museum street she hailed a taxi and gave Victor's adf. drees. Capable under the influence of exitement or passion, of extraordinary feats of audacity, she generally found herself the moment after trembling before the possible results. She quailed at the prospect of confessing what she had done to Victor, but she agreed with Leslie that It would be better that he should hear it from her lips than from others. He shook, hands without any show jof warmth. "I hardly expected " to see you in T.nnitnn aft iMn ." ha an Id. "DM Vftii want to see me about anything particular?" "You - don't seem glad to see me, Vic," she said reproachfully. Evidently he had not yet forgiven her for the scene at. Paris. ?; i"- I "I shall know better presently . whether to be glad or sorry." " Mrs. Melas gripped the arms of her easy chair and braced herself for the encounter. : ; Her face paled as she opened fire. "'"Do you want that Hastings girl to return to you?" Not a muscle of his face changed as he replied," The Hastings girl does not want, as far as I know, to return to me." "She noted the evasion, and gulped down an angry exclamation. "I hear" she said calmly, "that : you went through a form of marriage with her." "Which form of marriage she be lieves to be Invalid. I have answered your questions obediently enough, but as I told you in Paris, I strongly " "Oh, no doubt you resent them as . impertinences, well, no doubt you will be glad to hear that the adorable and virtuous Mrs. Varney oh, I thought her name would make yau color! is equally interested in your 'private affairs and knows all about that girl. Perhaps it waB her housemaid's sister. Anyway, she has made Inquiries and found that the marriage was valid." "You mean to say that Mrs." Varney told you this?" "Yes." For a moment the two started fixedly into each other's eyes. Then, Victor sat down opposite Mrs. Melas and leaned back in his chair. "Will you kindly tell me exactly what has happened what Mrs. Varney has told you?" - : ' : "Yes I will, and you need not look so ugly. Before I have finished you will pee that I have got you out of a tight fix. I met Mrs. Varney this morning when she was here on her way to see yoir. Of course I was curious and at last I got it all out of her." "You did eh?" "Yes. She told me that you had married this wretched girl at Hastings three or four years ago. and that the girl had believed the ceremony to be void and all that. "When you turned up again, the dear, kind Mrs. Varney promptly consulted a lawyer who told her that the marriage was all right and so she was going to put your hands in the girl's who doesn't want you, mind and bless the reunion. "She was awfully excited about it As she is certainly keen on you herseir, i suppose she felt she was doing something very heroic." "Wait a moment," Victor interposed. "Did Mrs. Varney say that the girl did not want to return to me?" "Mrs. Melas laughted sardonically. "What are you still keen on the dam. sel? I wonder you didn't return to her ions ago. well. Mrs. Varney admitted that your reappearance would probably spell ruin to the girl yes, ruin. I suppose she had either married again or is about to do so. "It was; of course, a strong sense of auiy mat impelled v Mrs. Varnev to poke her nose into your rf fairs and make the two of you unhappy. So, I did a bold thing, for which you may bless me or curse me, according to the way you look at it. But I did It because I love you. Vivtor." She took his hand and kissed it passionately after the Oriental fashion. He . withdrew his hand. Her eyes flashed. "Mind you," she prefaced her confession. "I've spoiled your game forever with Mrs. Varney, She called you a scoundrel, and said the girl was well rid of you." "I see. What, then, did you tell her?" .;- - ? : . . .. i. k "I told her that you and I were mar ried two or three years before you mel this girl at Hastings." wJMr. Erdsley replaced several letters

go to their account with the benizon of their different faiths, a Protestant and a Catholic chaplain officiated Jointly in the funeral services at, the grave. It was a fitting coincident that the funeral should be held during the forty ninth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic and that the line of march from the navy yards to the cemetery should include the stretch of Pennsylvania avenue over which the veterans passed in review before President Lincoln fifty years agot and over which a few thousand survivors of that event will march tomorrow. ... - The honorary escort was in command of Captain W. D. Leapy, commander of the Dolphin, Secretary Daniels' official ship. bearing the London postmark in his pocketbook, and slipped an India rubber band round a sheaf Of of ficial looking documents and prospectuses. He then folded up a dog's eared copy of that spirited Journal, - iTa JCeyhole, and put it In his pocket L -' - -t He leaned back to hir chair and surveyed the "crowd passing- before-. She cafe. ' "We - must ' do something j at once," he said. "At once yes," assented. Sir Ralph Gaveston; stirring the dregs of his absinth meditatively. - .- a- :. , "What about your widow? Can't you fix that up at once?" eagerly suggested Erdsley. He looked up and down at the neatly groomed baronet "You're looking younger than I ever saw you look, this evening, old pal," ha remarked with a sneer that, had become habitual. "Why not go along there now any try your luck? I'll come with you." Sir Ralph rose. , "Right-ho, dear boy, Now or , never." He looked at his watch. "Yes, I ought to find her In about this time. Let's get on. - "I thought you might have fixed this up the other day, he grumoiea. "Hang it all, Gaveston, it's you who hare got us into this fix. it's your bus iness to get us out of it. Here a your cousin rolling in money and you can't get a penny out of him. If the widow won't have you, do you think yon can tap her for ten or twelve thousand? Land her with some debentures. Hul lo!" he exclaimed as they -stopped outside the hotel. "This is where she is staying eh? Same place as your cousin." This cfrcumstasnee -eeroed Aiighly suggestive to the company promoter, for while Sir Ralph Inquired for 'his friend he gazed curiously round him and examined a plan of the different floors dlsrlayed near the office. - "' He was thus occupied when Gaveston rejoined him. "Our luck's out," muttered the baronet. "She went to London last night.. Varney left this morning. Both our birds have flown." "Well, I suppose you've got the price of a ticket to London on you, haven't you? Has she left word tor you?" "Only this." Erdsley snatched at the note in Gaveston's hand and read: "Dear Ralph Sorry I had to go without saying good-bye. Called away to London on urgent business. Come and see me soon. Shall stay at the Royal Grand. Am . still considering your offer Jenny Melas. "Jenny Melas so that's her name," said Mr. Erdsley, scratching the side of his nose. "Look here, Gaveston, I think I've struck a trail? What was the number, of her room?" "I don't know, but I'll inquire.'! Gaveston turned back to the desk and came with the . information that Mrs. - Melas had occupied the suite number 12. Erdsley turned again to the plan, then caught his companion by the arm. "The day before yesterday," be began in low, earnest tones, "I . came here to call on one of those young Yankee Jays we met at the American bar. I couldn't get anything out of him, I may as well say at once. But as I was coming back along the corridor I heard a woman screaming, .."You belong to me I tell you, and Leslie Var ney shan't have you," or something like that. I was naturally Interested, as both the names Leslie and Varney had a familiar ring. So I watched down here in the vestibule and presently I saw Steele go out evidently in' a deuce of a temper." To Be Continued. BLAME AGITATORS FOR BORDER RAIDS WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. Colonel T. R. Beltram, Carranza consul at San Antonio, Texas, this . afternoon presented evidence to Assistant Attorney General Warren to prove that, agitastor from the United States and not Carranza forces caused the recent raids along the Texas border.

Burn the Cheapest Coal

Laurel Heaters burn the cheapest, dirtiest slack that can be bought. The wonderful slotted fire pot burns this slack without any smoke or dirt. Every possible heat unit is obtained from the fuel the tremendous volume of heat thrown off demonstrates that fact. The patented feed door permits of adding additional fuel without allowing any smoke or soot to escape You'll naturally figure the difference between the tost of fuel such as the LAUREL burns and the cost of hard coal such as a baseburner requires, and if it takes, sayi four tons of coal each season to heat your homeyou'll have to acknowledge that the LAUREL saves you about $ 1 5.00 a year, --,. You'll Inquire about the cost and you'll find you can buy a LAUREL for just about half what a baseburner of equal heating capacity would cost
