Why President Arthur Would
Cull It the Concord.
While General Arthur was president
nnd during one of the summers of his
administration ho was on board tho
Dispatch at Newport, and Secretary
of the Navy Chandler was pestering
him to consent to naming the new dis
patch boat afterward the Dolphin, tho
Concord, after the first battle of tho
Revolution. General Arthur was dis
posed to quiz Chandler about his pro
posed name, lie preferred the name
Dolphin as being more suggestive of
speed at sea. When Chandler argued
the Importance of keeping in mind tho
heroic resistance of the colonial mili
tia and the brilliant opposition offered
to riteuirn's men General Arthur ask
ed him:
"What Is It that you propose to call
this ship?"
"The Concord," answered Chandler,
giving the approved New Ilampshlro
pronunciation.
"There," retorted Arthur, Inviting tho
attention of Captain Reeder. "Do
you hear that? Conquered. Do you

farm near Wakofiold, Nob. leaving
their grain uncut, nnd wore found
wandering about tho streets hero

Sex In Ant,
The different species of ants aro
pretty generally distributed over tho
martial, nor was she afraid to pro
claim to all the world that this man
was her lover. As for Captain Fltz
roy, his bushy eyebrows disappeared
into his peaked cap when he heard the
manner of their speech.
Nevertheless Ventnor smiled again.
"Even the Dyaks respected Miss
Deune," he said.
But Anstruther, sorry for the mani
fest uneasiness of the shipowner, re
pressed the retort on his lips and
forthwith suggested that they should
walk to the north beach in tho first
instance, that being the scene of the
wreck.
During the next hour he became audi
tor rather than narrator. It was Iris
who told of his wild fight against wind
and waves; Iris who showed them
where he fought with the devilfish;
Iris who expatiated on tho long days
of ceaseless toll, his dauntless cour
age In the face of every difficulty, the
way In which ho rescued her from tho
clutch of tho savages, the skill of his
preparations against the anticipated
attack and the last great achievement
of all, when time after time ho foiled
tho Dyaks' best laid plans and Hung
them off, crippled and disheartened,
during tho muny phases of the thirty
hours' battle.
There were tears In her eyes when
she ended, but they were tears of
thankful happiness, and Lord Ventnor,
n silent listener who missed neither
word nor look, felt a deeper chill in his
cold heart as ho realized that this wo
man's love could never be his. Tho
knowledge excited his passion tho
more. His hatred of Anstruther now
became a mania, an Insensate resolve
to mortally stab this meddler who al
ways stood In his path.
Robert hoped that bis present ordeal
was over. It had only begun. He was
called on to answer questions without
number. Why had the tunnel been
made? What was the mystery of the
vulley of death? How did he innnnge
to guess tho dimensions of the sundial?
How came he to acquire such nn amaz
ing stock of out of the way knowledgo
of the edlblo properties of roots and
trees? How? Why? Whero? When?
They never would be satisfied, for not

body was more or less desirous to havo
this point cleared up. IIo looked tho
questioner squnrely In the face.
"In some parts of the world," ho said,
"there are sunken reefs, unknown, un
charted, on which many a vessel has
been lost without any contributory
fault on tho part of her officers."
"rndoubtcilly."
"Well, Captain Fltzroy, when I was
Htatloned with my regiment In Hong
k6ng I encountered such a reef and
wrecked my life on It At least that
!s how It seemed to me then. Fortune
threw me ashore hero after a 1c? and
bitter submergence. You can jinrdly
blame me If I cling to the tiny speck
of land that gave mo salvation."
"No," admitted the sailor. He knew
there was something more In the al
legory than the text revealed, but It
was no business of his.
"Moreover," continued Robert smll
Inc'.y, "yoy see I have a partner."
"There ennnot be the slightest doubt
about the partner," was tho prompt re
ply. Then every one laughed, Iris more
than any, though Sir Arthur Dcano's
gayety was forced, and Lord Ventnor
could taste tho acidity of his own smile.
Later In the day the first lieutenant
told his chief of Anstruthor's voluntary
statement concerning the court martial.
Captain Fltzroy was naturally pained
by tills unpleasant revelation, but he
took exactly the same view as that ex
pressed by tho first lieutenant In Rob
ert's presence.
Nevertheless he pondered the matter
nnd seized an early opportunity of men
tioning it to Lord Ventnor. That dis
tinguished nobleman was vastly sur
prised to learn how Anstruther had cut
the ground from beneath bis feet
"Yes," ho said, In reply to Che sailor's
request for Information, "I know all
about It It could not well be other
wise, seeing that next to Mrs. Costobell
I was the principal witness against
him."
"That must havo been awkward -for
you," was the unexpected comment
"Indeed! Why?"
"Because rumor linked your nnmo
with that of the lady In a somewhat
outspoken way."
"You astonish me. Anstruther cor
taluly made some stupid allegations
during tho trial, but I had no idea he
was able to spread this malicious re
port subsequently."
"I am not talking of Hongkong, my
lord, but of Singapore, months later."
Captain Fitzroy's tone was exceed
ing dry. Indeed, some people might
deem It offensIve
