GEN. ALGER REPORTS.
Many Recommendations For The
Betterment Os the War De
partment Made.
Washington, Nov. 26.—1 n his
first annual report Secretary Alger
makes many recommendations for
the betterment of the war depart
ment based upon the conclusions
|of his subordinate officers. He
| asks favorable consideration for
I the proposition to add two regi
ments to the artillery branch,
pointing to the valuable fortifica
tions now being erected, which, he
says, should not be manned by a
corporal’s guard.
He says of Alaska that as many
as 100,000 people will be gathered ;
; there next year and a military]
; force snould be sent to the territo- i
]■ ry and large emergency powers I
j hould be granted to the President '
]i to repress lawlessness. Probably '
] the creation of additional military
] reservations, like that of St. Mich
aels. may be the best means to
problem. A boat for the
pat jMbri the Yukon is ako asked
T
for, as well as increased pay for
the enlisted meu serving in Alaska.
Secretary Alger recommends the
revival of the grade of lieutenant
general, saying all the great na
tions give their officers much high
er ranks than does the United
States.

“Mr. Cullen hasn’t given or even
hinted that he’ll give anything.”
‘‘And Mr. Gen.on hasn’t asked, and,
if I know him, wouldn’t take a cent for
What he has dene, ’' said Fred, rising
from the floor.
‘‘You mean to say you are doing it
for nothing?” exclaimed Camp, incred
ulously.
‘‘That’s about the truth of it, ” I said,
though I thought of Madge as I said it
and felt guilty in suggesting that she
was nothing.
“Then -what is your motive?” cried
Baldwin.
If there had been any use, I should
have replied, “The right,” tut I knew
that they would only think I was pos
ing if I said it. Instead I replied:
“Mr. Cullen's party has the stock ma
jority in their favor and would have
won a fair fight if you had played fair.
Since you didn’t, I’m doing my best to
put things to rights.”
Camp cried, “All the more fool”
but Baldwin interrupted him by saying:
“That only shows whajj a mean cuss
Cullen is. He ought to give you SIO,OOO
if he gives you a cent. ”
“Yes,” cried Camp, “those letters
are worth money, whether he’s offered
it or not. ’ ’
“Mr. Cullen never so much as hinted
paying me, ” sari I.
“Well, Mr. Gordon,” said Baldwin
suavely, “we’ll show you that we can
be liberal. Though the letters rightfully I
belong to Mr. Camp, if you’ll deliver
them to us we’ll see that you don’t lose
your place, and we’ll give you $5,000.”
I glanced at Fred, whom I found
looking at me anxiously, and asked
him:
“Can’t you do better than that?”
“We could with anyone but you, ”
said Fred. j.
I should have liked to shake hands
over this compliment, but I only nod
ded, and, turning to Mr. Camp, said:
“You see how mean they are.”
“You’ll find we are not built that
way,” said Baldwin. “Five thousand
isn’t a bad day’s work, eh?”
“No,” I said, laughing, “but you
just told me I ought to get SIO,OOO if I
got a cent. ’ ’
“It’s worth SIO,OOO to Mr. Cullen,
but”—
I interrupted by saying, “If it’s worth
SIO,OOO to him, it’s worth SIOO,OOO tc
me. ’ ’

That was too much for Camp. First
he said something best omitted, and
then went on, “I told you it was'tVaste
time trying to win him over.”
Th3 three stood apart fei a moment
whispering, and then JudgoWilson call
ed the sheriff over and they all went
out together. The moment we were
alone Frederic held out his hand and
said:
“Gordon, it's no use saying anything,
but if we can ever do”
I merely shook hands, but I wanted
the worst way to say:
“Tell Madge.”

CHAPTER XIII.
A LESSON IN POLITENESS.
Within five minutes we had a big
surprise, for the sheriff and Mr. Bald
win came back, and the former an
nounced that Fred and Lord Ralles
were free, having been released on bail.
When we found that Camp had gone on
the bond, I know that there was a
scheme of some sort in the move, and,
taking Fred aside, I warned him against
trying to recover the proxies.
“They probably think that one or the
other of you knows where the letters:
are hidden,” I whispered, “and they’ll
keep a watch on you, so go slow. ”
He nodded and followed the sheriff
and Lord Ralles out.
The moment they were gone Mr.
Baldwin said, “I came back to give
you a last chance. ”
“That’s very good of you,” I said.
“Iwarn you,” he said threateningly,
“we are not men to be beaten. There
are 50 cowboys of mine in this town
who think you were concerned in the
holding up. By merely tipping them
the wink they’ll have you out of this,
and after they’ve got you outside I *
wouldn’t give the toss of a nickel for
your life. Now, then, will you hand
over those letters or will you go to ——
inside of ten minutes?”
I lost my temper in turn. “I’d much
prefer going to some place where I was
less sure of meeting you, ” I retorted,
“and, as for thecowbdys, you’ll have to
be as tricky with them as you want to
be with me before you’ll get them to
back you up in your dirty work. ’ ’
At this point the sheriff called back
to ask Baldwin -
