out Into the smother of spume twenty
miles off Urenton's reef near Newport,
bumped four doughty destroyers of Uncle
Sam's the Mayrant, the Perkins, the
Kterett and the Walke,
A southerly gale, blowing out of rain
laden skies, scared up the seas Into yel
low foam. The long, lean, leaden-hued
little warships of the third group of de
stroyers were having their test trials for
(speed.
A bell Jingled down in the cnglno room
of the Walko and the valves wero
'opened wide by tho men who stood at
their stations. Take a peep down Into
the engtuo room of tho destroyer Just
then.
Boats of the Walke type are 2S9 feet
long, and pretty much half of this length
is boilers and engines. It Is merely a
jhull capable of floating 12,000 horsepower.
The entire ship aft of Mm superstructure
Is a maze of pipes and chests and big
cylinders and valves from deck to keel
pon. H'fl a twin turbine boat, with oll
burnlng furnaces.
And chief of ull tho machinery In that
crowded engine room are two huge cylin
ders, sonic four feet in diameter and
ten feet long. In these are the roters
the twisting things which work the
.crews in turblno fushlon under steam
pressure. Nino men were below that dun
morning In the engine room. Two wero
thero to observe officially TJcutenant
Jlobert Ii. Montgomery of tho destroyer
Fanning, and Gunner's Mato T. B. Craw
ford of the destroyer Patterson, to assist
him.
Mini OwrlMittnl.
At his post stood Lieutenant Donald
J'etllt Morrison, engineer officer of tho
Walke, and urouud him In that con
quieted, machlno-fllled room were tho
oilers, machinists mid firemen. Above,
the rest of the crew of eighty-two men
veio on duty. One of these was Dpyle.
'ov Edward F. Doyle, ablo seaman,
wasn't feeling well that misty morning.
Uu had a broken rib, but he didn't know
It. This Is how he got It. At Newport,
a week before, Doyle had fallen In the
dark between tho boat and tho piling of
Its dock, llo went down below tho side
plunking nnd came up between two docks.
Morrison, the lieutenant, heard tho cry
"Mini overboard!" and plunged over
board In full uniform, lie could not find
Doyle.
-Anybody been him?" he spluttered.
Nobody had. Morrison took a long dive
In tho dark, straight down under the
planks between two docks, and there he
found Doyle struggling to keep hold an
a slippery pile. Morrison grabbed the
H.'-druwneil sailor, plunged -down again
Into tho water nnd under tho piling and
won had hlin in his bunk, safo and
itiuiid.
Uoylo's Hide hurt him, but ho didn't
rcjIUc then that he had cracked a rib.
So he went on duty that niornlng; of tho
Ipetd tests.
"I ought to be in my hammock!" ho
growled, "and not here."
The Walko wan hissing along and doing
iplendldly.
Ntenm Chest Shuttered.
Lieutenant Charles E. Train, its cap
lain, drenched and chilled from the cas
lhat were smashing over tho bridge, had
gone below Into his enblti to get Into
Voinc dry clothes. The engines had
(worked the boat up to tho best that was
ii It
A crack from below, llku the crash of
b six-Inch suit. A hiss, a roar, a scream
then sllenco for a moment.
The Wulko quivered, stopped and wal
lowed In the rough trough of the sea.
Out from tho hatches civmo clouds of
whlto and the shrill snarl of escaping
stenjn something had burst! Lieutenant
Train came plunging out of h)s cabin.
".Engine room!" yelled Lieutenant F.
Thlbault, who had been on deck "Casing
of 'the roter's explodedl"
Down below In that white-hot Inferno
were nine men, scalded without and
within. Every breath was searing their
tortured lungs Into leather.
But there were men on the deck of the
Walke Just then men who could keep
their wits. Two husky lads shut off Uie
steam valves Instantly.
A sailor Jumped into tho smothering
hatch and tried to put himself down tho
blistering la'dder. Men grabbed him. He
thrpv them aside.
"Let me go!" he yelled, squaring off to
'fight. "Morrison's down there he saved
me I'm going to save him lemmo go!"
It was Doyle. Doyle was going down
atone Into the engine room to get the
man who "had saved his life the week be
fore. But they batted him back and their
energy picked out his broken rib.
One man held his arm oyer the seeth
ing pit and drew It back with a yell of
pain.- Another tried to peer down and
fell back gasping.
The trim, sandy haired young Train,
calm and level headed, bringing hlsl An
napolis training Into play, shot out a few
staccato orders. Men. Jumped to obey.
Tho' helmsmen had its head around Into
the sea again. Not two minutes had
' passed.
Upon the ladder crept a gasping shape.
Ills face peeling off, ho stumbled and fell
on the deck. Then another crawled up
and another and nnother, till thero were
five.
"My God!" gasped one, as they picked
up his parboiled body and boro him inlo
tlio officers' wardroom forward, Mr.
Morrison's down there yet. He was neai
est to tho ladder and he stood aside to
let us up first. Get him, for God's sake,
get him! 1 can't go back,"
, Stood Aside for thr Men.
And. then tho poor fellow passed away
'Intel merciful unconsciousness from which
I he never awakened.
Them two men got below Chief Ma
chinist Mate Christiansen and Chief Ma
chinist Mate Olseil. And at their hools
Jumped Chief Quartermaster Spear and
Chief Boatswain's Mute Ingham.
It was burning hot down there, but th"
briH'o petty officers who had plunged
Into the scald could at least breathe.
They stumbled over a man. Ho was
lying on tho floor, his faco burled In the
bilge, burned to a crisp along his back,
but still he had saved himself. He had
stuck his head down a holo Into tho bot
tom of tho ship whero ho could breathe
fresh air nnd held on while the1 steam
seared his hack.
Ingham and Spear lifted hint to his feet
It was Frank Conway, oiler.
".The ludder, quick, man!" yelled Spear.
Conway tottf red to bl feet.
"There's Mr." Morrison!" he yelled, "foe
hlnir'Qver there by tho ladder I saw him
stand asldo for the men. I must get him
out!"
Craned with pain, Conway started
toward the hottest part of the room
Lieutenant Morrison had been nearest
tho turbine casing when It exploded. He
jay crumpled up on the floor three fet
away from tho ladder by which ho might
have escaped to ulr and life.
Conway grabbed frantically at tho
body ho hadn't strength to lift.
"Get him out!" screamed he. crazy with
pain hlmujlf. "Here, lot mo bear a
hand."
And so they carried tho poor, scalded
body of tho young nontenant up the
ladder. Conway fainted when the lifted
him out along with two others not so
badly scalded.
Just ai gently ns they could these
rough sailor men tried to take tho uni
form from tho voting officer he was only
i years old. Ho gawped for a few min
utes and settled down calmly to death.
He had never been conscious. Ills lungs
wero all gone those sturdy lungs which
could hold a breath for two minutes at a
stratch, those lungs which had kept him
alivo under the water when ho went In
after Doyle. Doyle was weeping. He
knew. Ho hud seen.
Fin KM Spelled Disaster.
Up tho forward mast leaped a lot of
flags. They looked gay, but the destroyer
fleet knew thoy spelled disaster. Tho
cool-headed Train had set his signals for
help. The Perkins bore down, but it
couldn't come close tUe seas were run
ning too high. Train had found out that
one turbine was working, and ho signaled
ho could get homo under half steam.
But the Perklqs poured oil over the
waters and tho men of the Wnlke did
tho same so a hospital steward with
medicines and moro oil managed to get
abonrd. Thirty-five minutes after tho
catastrophe young Train had his boat
running back to Newport und tied up to
the hospital ship. Solace.
When the navy doctors saw tile suf
ferers brought on board they shook their
heads. J. W. Kumpf and H. L. .Wilder,
both crackajack machinist mntos of the
first-class, lived a few hours, and then
they Joined Morrhon In death. E, B.
Crawford, gunner's mato from the Pat
terson, died next day; John Delaney,
first-class flrumnn, lasted ono day more,
and then thero were flvo dead. That was
all. Conway and the three Other Injured
will get well they wero the farthest
away from tho steam.
"Perjjups wo will need some skin to
graft," came tho word from tho Solace
to the Walke.
Itfiuly for iltf SuurlrJce.
A big sailor shuffled toward tho cap
tain that afternoon and saluted when
word of what was wanted sifted through
tho ship.
"Tell 'cm, sir," he stammered, "that
this Niero wholo crew'll givo up all the
skin they want for the boys.."
But It hadn't bpen needed.
That night Mrs. Donald P. Morrison,
j with her baby of a month, was speed
. Ing by train to Newport to join her iius-
uiiiiii oi u. year. j loiegrnm sioppoa ncr
with tho news and she went back to
Annapolis her father's home to await
tho mangled body.
"I know why ho died," said Lieutenant
Train. "Ho stepped nsldo to let the men
up the companlonway first. Conway did
his best to save hint, burned as he was,
and Doylo tried to get down after him,
too. Thoy may say what they please
about navy discipline every one of our
eighty-two men was a hero. Every man
was at his post, and the. moment a hiu
man being could llvo below thero were
a dozen trying to get down that burning
hole."
"Mall for tho Walko'."
A natty marine with his leather pouch
slung over his shoulder came abroad,
after dusk, when the ship was quiet
again,
"Letter from the Navy department,
sir," said the marine, handing out a big
cnveloie, 'all covcrrVl. with seals nnd
franked without postage.' "Lieutenant
Morrison?" -
"I'll tako that," said Captain. Train,
with Just a lilt of a quaver In his 'voice.
It was the letter mailed from Wash
ington by the acting secretary1 of the
navy, commending young Morrison for
saving Doyle. Hut tho bravo soul of
i Morrison wus no longer on carthi to hear
its nloisage. ,!
"It wan for saying me!" wept Doyle,
when he heard tho name called,
it has gone on now to tho poor little
wohiMi at Annapolis, a girl only wid
owed that day. New York Wprid.
Ncfr Year Hmoliilloim
"The Willlamses certainly have mado
queer New Year' resolution:'!"
"What are they?"
"Well, Mic resolved not to smoke hiiv
more cigarettes, drink any more highballs
or take nny trips to woman's rights con
ventions "
"nd he"-
"H resolved to make her allowance '
small that she would bn compelled to

Innls was not much of a sporting man,
but In tho Innocent sporting events that

, rather prided himself on being "gamo"
nnd rt "good loser." When he realized
however, that n stranger was walking
awny with B.000 of hi dollars, his brain

He. saw the other men lift Walker from
the spot on the track whero ho had

I touring car; but, though he had counted
Walker as a friend, he could not go to

J tlod against some ono on tho aldowalk,
The stranger looked at him curiously
and then dropped a hand on his shoulder
It was a lawyer he hnd known some
' years before In Denver. Ade by name
I "Hollo, Innls, what good luck brings
I you to Colinclt Bluffs?" Ado asked
cheerfully.
"Good luck!" sxclalmed Innls bitterly
"Devil's luck!"
"What's tho matter?"
"I have Just dropped $T,(y): that'?
what's the matter."
Ade whletled. "How did you manag
to do that?"
"Out there." Innls nodded toward the
deserted cinder track, which lay half n
block away a port of tho permanent
, equipment of the fair grounds. "A foot
race. It looked like a sure thing would
have been, too, If Walker hart held out
He broke a Wood vessel. I supposo I
' ought to romember that It Is hard on
him, but I haven't got nway from my
own trouble yet."
Mnn Who Itroko Illnoil VospioI.
"Where were you going now?"
"I don't know to the street cars, I
' suppose."
j "You are headed In tho wrong direc
tion for that. Tho cars are on tho other
, side of tho grounds. Here, we can cut
across lots whllo you toll me about It.
I didn't know you went In so Ircavlly for
I sp'orts."
"I don't," confessed Innls. "I never
did before. I wouldn't havo gone Into
this, oxcept through knowing Walker."
"The man who ran and broke a blood
vessel?"
"Yes."
"Who ran against him?"
"Some fellow from New York. You see,
the race was arranged by somo men bore
In Council Bluffs, who knew about
Walker. He told me about It last week
in Denver, and asked mo to come on
with him and act as stakeholder. I
hadn't bought of betting himself; but
when his brother-in-law. Johnson, put up
$5,000 on him, It seemed so sure a thing
that I couldn't keep out. So I put up
$5,000, too."
"But weren't 'you stakeholder?"
"No; Wentworth wan stakeholder You
see. Johnson didn't want to bet his money
In his own name, so ho gave It to mo to
bet for him. Wo agreed on Wentworth
for stakeholder. He is a deacon In tho
Olivet Methodist church here, and every
body was satisfied with him."
Ade looked surprised. "Sure everything
was all straight," he asked doubtfully.
-"Oh, It was all straight enough. Walker
and I went to tho Grand Central hotel,
and Johson camo thero to meet us and
talk tilings over. They were both abso
lutely certain that Walker could run all
around this tyurphy from New York. Tho
men that wanted to bet on Murphy came
in, and everything was arranged per
fectly Bquarc and abovo board. There
was a regular contract drawn up and
signed by everybody. Wentworth was
mentioned for stakeholder, and he camo
over und took charge of tho money. I'm
not a fool. Besides, I've known Walker
for years, and he is simply great on
! tho track. If It had not beon for his
accident everything would havo been an
right."
A llulilier Slitn.
Tho two men had been walking directly
across the race .track, whllo Innls talked
and Ade listened. Thoy were approach
ing tho corner whero tho waiting motor
had stood that carried Walker away,
when Ado stopped isuddcnly nnd walked
back a few steps to pick up a small ob
Jcet from tho ground. It was a shriv
eled up bit of thin rubber, such as toy
balloons ore mado of. If a balloon, It
must have been n very small one. It
left n red stain on his fJnBers.
"What have you found?" asked InnlB,
not seeing plainly what his friend had
picked up.
"I don't know," said Ade slowly. Then
he said abruptly: "Tako me back to
tho place where Walker fell when lie
broke down."
"What for?"
"Oh, perhaps,"' stild Ado enlgmatlcolly.
"Call It morbid curiosity. . You say ho
broke a blood vessel. Thero may be
lomc blood stains on tho ground."
Innls stared nt his friend in astonish
ment, but yielded to his urgency. He
had been near enough to tho track to ico
plainly the sickening red stream that hod
oozed between Walker's pet Hps as ho lay
on tho giou'nd. To his surprise. Ade.
dronped on his nknees and carefully
sornpeij up Konio of tho gravul whero It
Hhowvd a dark stain. This he foldel
away In a piece of paper, which he
marked.
"What am you doing?" asked !nnln
In amazement.
Instead of answering directly. Ade
Asked: "What sort of o looking man
was Deacon Wentworth?"
"An elderly man. gray side whiskers."
"You're sure It was the Olivet church?'
"That's what )in said."
"Well," said Ado, triumphantly, "I am
a deacon In the Olivet church myself,
and I know for a fact that thero Is no
Deacon Wentworth connected with the
church. What's more, these stains are
not blood stains. We will prove that
chemically later on; but In the meantime
I a m willing to stake my reputation on It.
"They aro tho stains of a rod coloring
fluid and they came from th's little rub
ber bulb which Walker had lk his mouth
while ho was running, and which he broko
at tho right moment to make you think
that lio had broken a blood vessel, I'll
stake my reputation also, that Walker
